A method of filling a fluid dispenser is provided and a method for operating power driven pump in a dispenser is provided.

A method is provided for the re-filling with product of a travel dispenser (10) which has two assemblies (12, 14) which are connected together mechanically for dispensing the product. A first assembly (12) includes a bottle (10) of the product, a venting passage which is able to be opened to connect the interior and the exterior of the bottle and a pump (22) mounted on the bottle which is able to assume an upper rest position in which the passage is closed and a lower position in which the passage is open. A second assembly (14) includes a product dispensing device (16). The method includes blocking of the pump (22) in the lower position, and disengagement of the two assemblies (12, 14) from one another in order to allow the bottle (10) to be re-filled with product through the open venting passage of the first assembly (12) in re-fill mode.

A plug for use in a cap assembly of a refill capsule is disclosed. The plug (300) generally comprises a hollow tubular body (302) with an open proximal end that is surrounded by a first rim (304) that provides a proximal abutment surface for bearing against a frangible sealing component of a cap assembly. A tubular skirt wall (306) is arranged coaxially with respect to the tubular body, and extends around the skirt wall (306) to form a plug recess (308) between the skirt wall (306) and the tubular body (302). The skirt wall (306) extends from a skirt distal end at which the skirt wall (306) is connected to the tubular body (302), to a free proximal end. The free proximal end of the skirt comprises an outwardly extending flange (310) comprising a distal facing abutment surface (312) for abutting a rim (406) of a refillable vessel (400).

Disclosed is a refillable cosmetic container including a container body provided with a main body of which an one side is opened; a refillable container part detachably coupled to the main body and in which a cosmetic liquid is stored; a support part coupled to the other side of the main body; and a pumping driving part coupled to the support part to discharge the cosmetic liquid stored in the refillable container part to the outside of the refillable container part, wherein the refillable container part includes a refillable container body detachably coupled to the main body and a shifter part detachably coupled to the refillable container body and penetrated with a tube member of the pumping driving part, and a film is provided between the refillable container body and the main body to be easily separated when the refillable container body is separated from the main body.

A refillable solution dispensing device includes a housing having an upper section and a lower section. An actuator exposed through the exterior of the upper section. The actuator is movably connected to an air chamber and a solution chamber. The solution chamber is in fluid communication with the solution reservoir and a discharge nozzle. The air chamber is fluidly connected to the discharge nozzle. The actuator is coupled to a mixing shaft that protrudes into the lower section. The lower section comprises an interior volume that functions as a solution reservoir. A solution cartridge and water are inserted into the solution reservoir. A solution mixer is rotatably coupled to the mixing shaft combining the solution within the solution cartridge, the solution cartridge, and the water into one solution. Upon an activation of the actuator, the solution and the air will mix and exit the discharge nozzle.

A solution dispensing device includes a housing having an upper section and a lower section that seal when coupled, and an interior volume that functions as a refillable reservoir, the interior volume reservoir accessible via an aperture, whereby a refill cartridge containing a solute solution is deposited within the interior volume reservoir via an aperture, the solute solution and refill cartridge housing dissolving within varied measure of prescribed solvent added within the interior volume of the lower section reservoir. An actuator mechanism is configured to cause the mixed concentrate solution, which includes a combination of a dissolved solute solution, a dissolved refill cartridge, and a solvent, deposited within the refillable solution reservoir, to be drawn through and held within the actuator mechanism of the device, readied to be dispensed via an external port of the device, upon activation of the mechanism of the actuator external of the device housing.

A system for refilling a trigger sprayer bottle assembly includes the trigger sprayer bottle assembly including a trigger movable between a first trigger position and a second trigger position. A refillable bottle is coupled to the trigger such that material within the refillable bottle is dispensed from the refillable bottle when the trigger is moved from the first trigger position to the second trigger position. The trigger sprayer bottle assembly includes a first refill port through which material is added to the refillable bottle. The trigger sprayer bottle assembly is selectively coupled to a refilling assembly. The refilling assembly includes a refill reservoir and a second refill port through which material is removed from the refill reservoir. The second refill port is selectively coupled to the first refill port when the trigger sprayer bottle assembly is coupled to the refilling assembly.

A reusable dispensing container assembly, having a canister having a first end and a second end, the canister having an upper chamber to hold dispensable substance, an actuator arranged proximate the first end of the canister, in communication with the chamber, the actuator having a nozzle arranged to eject the dispensable substance, and, a deformable piston arranged within the canister below the upper chamber, the piston further arranged to sealingly engage an inner surface of the canister, the piston arranged for upward movement within the canister when the actuator is actuated, the deformable piston forming a lower chamber arranged to hold pressurized gas, the deformable piston comprising at least one integral external O-ring about its circumference arranged to sealingly engage the inner surface of the canister and maintain separation of the dispensable substance and the pressurized gas.

A replenishable dispenser for dispensing a liquid product. The replenishable dispenser comprises a housing, a canister for storing the liquid product, a triggering unit, an application member and a suction assembly for dispensing the liquid product from the canister to the application member upon being actuated by the triggering unit. The canister is detachably connected to the housing to replace the canister upon being exhausted with a new canister to replenish the dispenser. The dispenser further includes an applicator tip detachably connected to a holding unit of the application member.

A system for dispensing a personal care fluid, such as a hand soap or the like. The system includes a dispenser and a refill cartridge. The dispenser includes a dispenser body having a refill cavity and a dispenser lid configured to be coupled to the dispenser body. There may be a pump sub-system mounted to the dispenser lid, or alternatively the personal care fluid may be dispensed by squeezing the dispenser and refill cartridge. The refill cartridge is configured for slidable insertion into and removal from the refill cavity of the dispenser body. The personal care fluid system is designed so that a user can readily and easily change out/replace the refill cartridge for use with a common dispenser, dispenser lid, and pump sub-system.
