A syringe type ejection device capable of reducing an amount of residual liquid is provided. A syringe type ejection device includes: a barrel; a nozzle disposed to face the barrel; and a core inserted in the nozzle, the barrel having a large-diameter portion provided with a discharge space for discharging liquid, the nozzle being provided with a holding space for holding the core, the holding space being in communication with the discharge space, and the core being inserted in the discharge space.

A packaging for storing and dispensing fluid contents comprises a body defining a reservoir, wherein the body comprises a base with an aperture defined therein, a receptacle configured to store the fluid contents therein is received within the reservoir of the body, and a one-way valve positioned in the aperture. The packaging further comprises an actuator comprising a channel and an opening configured to dispense the fluid contents out of the packaging. An intermediate connecting member comprising a first connection portion configured to engage the actuator, a bellow, a second connection portion configured to engage the body, and a duckbill valve integrally formed thereon extends between the body and the actuator. The duckbill valve is aligned with the channel, and the fluid contents of the receptacle flow out of the duckbill valve, through the channel, and out of the opening upon a user applying an input to the actuator.

An orientation independent delivery device. The delivery device includes a gas chamber, a delivery chamber, a gas cell, and a delivery aperture. The gas chamber includes a gas-side rigid portion and a gas-side flexible barrier. The gas-side flexible barrier is sealed to the gas-side rigid portion. The delivery chamber includes a delivery-side rigid portion and a delivery-side flexible barrier. The delivery-side flexible barrier is sealed to the delivery-side rigid portion and is oriented adjacent to the gas-side flexible barrier. The gas cell is coupled to the gas-side rigid portion of the gas chamber. The gas cell increases a gas pressure within the gas chamber to expand the gas-side flexible barrier. Expansion of the gas-side flexible barrier applies a compressive force to the delivery-side flexible barrier allowing a delivery material to escape from the delivery chamber.

A method of operating a plurality of machines. Each of the machines uses a servo motor and a motor drive coupled to the servo motor, and the motor drive incorporates a regenerative braking system. The method comprises synchronising the servo motors in order to achieve overlap of the acceleration phases of some machines with the deceleration phases of other machines and providing electrical power from the regenerative braking systems of machines in a deceleration phase to machines in an acceleration phase. A controller for a machine implementing the method, and a system comprising such a controller and a plurality of machines are also disclosed.

In a foamer dispenser, a depressing head includes: a head main unit with a top wall portion arranged above the stem and with an attachment cylindrical portion that extends downwardly from the top wall portion and is attached to the stem; and an exterior cylindrical portion that is provided beneath the top wall portion and surrounds the attachment cylindrical portion and the guide cylindrical portion from an outer side in a radial direction. An inside of the exterior cylindrical portion is communicable with an inside of the cylinder for air through an inside of the guide cylindrical portion. The head main unit and the exterior cylindrical portion are formed as separate entities and are fitted to each other. In an upper end portion of the exterior cylindrical portion, intake holes are formed that penetrate through the exterior cylindrical portion in a radial direction and open toward an upward direction.

A dispenser for compounds in paste form has a storage volume with a bounding part that can move conjointly when drawing from the storage volume, and a head piece that is guided relative to the storage volume. A discharge chamber with an inlet valve and an outlet valve has a discharge channel with a discharge opening. A spring element is active between the storage volume and the head piece, forms a bounding wall of the discharge chamber, and has a lower ear-shaped plug projection and an upper retaining profile. The spring element is designed as a leg that connects to the plug projection, which leg transitions into the retaining projection via an upwardly curved portion. The retaining profile is designed as a retaining projection that has a larger cross section than the leg, with an upper projection base which is enclosed in the retaining recess.

A reusable container system and method for reducing the use of plastic is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a reusable container includes: a reusable bottle; a lid attachable to the reusable bottle that enables access removing and inserting single-use replaceable sealed bag or pouch; an inner single-use replaceable sealed bag or pouch that holds a liquid, viscous, or gel material inside the reusable bottle; a sprayer or pump attachable to the reusable bottle; and a dip tube with a leading edge that pierces the inner bag upon assembly of the above listed components. The liquid material is accessed for dispensing through the dip tube without contaminating the reusable bottle.
