A pump dispenser has a pump body and a reciprocable plunger with a lock-down mechanism, comprising internal or external lock formations of the plunger and body, such as thread formations, by which the plunger can be locked down for shipping and released subsequently by a rotational release movement. To supplement security for demanding shipping conditions the dispenser also has a supplementary catch mechanism in which respective catch formations of the plunger and body engage selectively in the locked-down position to inhibit the rotational release movement. The catch formations may have circumferentially-directed surfaces which engage between the underside of a plunger head having a shroud and a nozzle and the top of the body beneath the plunger head. They can be released by resilient deformation of one or more of the catch formations.

In exemplary embodiments of the present invention, Flair® based aerosol-type devices can be provided. Such devices utilize a combination of Flair® technology, pre-compression valves and aerosol like pressurization of the dispensed liquid. Such a dispensing device has a main body comprising a pressure chamber, the latter being provided with a pressure piston and a pressure spring. The device further has a piston and a piston chamber which draws liquid from a reservoir and fills the pressure chamber with that liquid as a user operates the trigger in various compression and release strokes. The piston chamber has both an inlet valve and an outlet valve. In a dispensing head a valve is provided to regulate the strength of the flow and preclude leakage. Once the liquid is sufficiently pressurized, it can be dispensed by a user opening an activation valve, such as by pressing on an activation button, and spray can be abruptly stopped by a user ceasing to push on such button. Or, for example, in alternate embodiments without an activation button, once the liquid is sufficiently pressurized, continuous spray occurs until the pressure chamber is emptied. By repeatedly pumping the trigger before the pressure chamber is fully emptied, continuous spray can be achieved. By designing the input volume to be amply greater than the volume of the pressure chamber, continuous spray with fewer pumping strokes can be implemented.

A liquid dispenser, having a large ring, a connecting cover, and a hollow pump frame, the pump frame is movably clamped to the interior of the large ring, the top of the pump frame extends to the outer side of the top of the large circle, a bottom protruding portion of the connecting cover extends into a top groove of the pump frame so as to be movably clamped thereto, a first air outlet is provided on both sides of the bottom of the connecting cover, and a second air outlet in communication with the first air outlet is provided to penetrate through the pump frame. The first air outlet, the second air outlet, the first liquid outlet, and the second liquid outlet can be opened and closed by rotating the connecting cover to change a position relationship between the connecting cover and the pump frame.

A trigger sprayer for connection to a container or liquid product which is to be dispensed is disclosed. The trigger sprayer includes a trigger body with a first engagement member and a nozzle with a second engagement member. The first engagement member is constructed and arranged to receive the second engagement member. The second engagement member is moveable relative to the first engagement member between a first position and a second position. Movement of the second engagement member relative to the first engagement member between the first and second positions encounters a region of increased resistance.

Dispensing devices are provided. Such devices utilize a combination of Flair® technology, pre-compression valves and aerosol-like pressurization of the dispensed liquid. An example dispensing device has, for example, a main body comprising a pressure chamber, the latter being provided with a pressure piston and a pressure spring. The device further has a piston and a piston chamber which draws liquid from a container and fills the pressure chamber with that liquid as a user operates a trigger in various compression and release strokes. The piston chamber has both an inlet valve and an outlet valve. Liquid exiting the piston chamber under pressure enters a central vertical channel which is in fluid communication with both the pressure chamber and a dome valve, with pre-defined opening pressure, provided near the outlet channel at the top of the dispensing head.

A assembly for dispensing a fluid product having a first fluid-product dispenser with a first reservoir, a first dispensing member, such as a pump, provided with a first dispensing head and a first pusher, and a second fluid-product dispenser with a second reservoir, a second dispensing member, such as a pump, provided with a second dispensing head and a second pusher. The second dispenser is removably mounted on the first dispenser so as to prevent the actuation of one of the two dispensers.

This application relates to a fluid dispenser. In one aspect, the dispenser includes a body including an opening and an accommodating space for accommodating fluid, a lid for closing the opening, a pressing unit disposed on a side of the body, and a discharge unit disposed on the side at a position diagonally higher than the pressing unit and configured to discharge a predetermined amount of the fluid from the accommodating space when a pressure is applied to the pressing unit. The dispenser may also include a pump mechanism configured to pump the predetermined amount of the fluid from the accommodating space to the discharge unit when the pressure is applied to the pressing unit, and an air intake formed on a part of the lid and configured to flow air into the accommodating space when the predetermined amount of the fluid is discharged from the accommodating space.
