A dosing apparatus suitable for dispensing a dose of liquid from a resilient squeezable container including a cap, suitable for attachment to the container, the cap comprising an expulsion channel for the expulsion of liquid; a dosage chamber attached to the cap, the dosage chamber comprising side walls; at least one inlet opening in the side walls proximal to the cap; a pressure chamber located underneath the dosage chamber; a valve provided at the end of the pressure chamber distal to the dosage chamber, the valve being movable from an open position, allowing liquid to flow through one or more discharge openings, and a closed position where the valve closes each discharge opening, the valve incorporating at least one aperture; and a plunger provided in the dosage chamber, and movable relative to the dosage chamber so as to advance upon squeezing of the container, up to a blocking position.

The device makes it possible to dispense predetermined metered quantities of liquid. It includes a sealing member that can take up a liquid release position, allowing liquid to flow out of the device, and a non-return position preventing liquid from flowing back into the device. The sealing member is provided with metering means for metering out the liquid to be dispensed.

A discharge device for a liquid medium includes a storage container for receiving a medium, a discharge head which can be secured on the storage container and comprises a discharge opening for discharging the medium out of the storage container, an outlet valve which is paired with the discharge opening and comprises a pretensioned valve element that delimits a valve pre-chamber by means of a pressure application surface formed on a membrane. The pressure application surface has a stationary clamping region on the outside, and a pressure equalization channel which opens into the storage container and comprises a filter assembly that operates microbiologically and is inserted into the pressure equalization channel. The pressure equalization channel is separated from a medium path from the storage container to the discharge opening via the valve pre-chamber, and the pressure application surface has a cap-like edge protrusion as a clamping region which can be placed on a plate edge of the inner component of the discharge head on the inside. The plate edge has a stop that extends outward radially and forms a support surface for the edge protrusion while being spaced from the pressure application surface by a head surface of the plate edge.

A beverage container is disclosed with a cap body having an upper straw with an incorporated valve that moves upward and downward to toggle between an open and closed position and a lower straw that is stationary within the cap body. Hermetic seals are formed between the straw bodies and cap body that allow the proper operation of a straw that opens, allowing fluid to flow through the straw bodies, and closes, stopping the flow of fluid through the straw bodies.

Provided is a multi-use container. The container can be used for drinking a liquid by sucking a nipple to actuate one-way valve. Alternatively, the container can be used as a dildo by using a glans shaped cap. The container can be used to drink liquids from all sorts of angles. The container can also include a piston.

Disclosed is a pump head with a specially configured elastic valve which enables secure closure of the pump head. It is ensured by the valve that complete emptying and, at the same time, secure closing of the pump head is ensured so that no residues of fluid to be metered remain in the storage state of the pump head. In addition, the present invention relates to a metering device which can be configured for example as squeeze bottle, as non-airless system or as airless system, the metering device comprising a pump head according to the invention.

A closure (20, 20A, 20B) for a container (22) with an outwardly projecting flange (25). The closure including a skirt (50, 50A, 50B) for attaching the closure (20, 20A, 20B) to the container (22). The skirt (50, 50A, 50B) has an annular, flexible retention member (66, 66A) extending laterally inwardly from a lower end portion (54, 54A, 54B) of the skirt (50, 50A, 50B) to define a connection (62, 62A, 62B) therebetween. In one form, the flexible retention member (58, 58A, 58B) has (a) an initial, undeflected configuration, (b) a deflected configuration rotated away therefrom about the connection (62, 62A, 62B), and (c) a proximal end surface (126, 126A) located at the connection (62, 62A, 62B) defining a shoulder when the flexible retention member (58, 58A, 58B) is in the undeflected configuration. In another form, the flexible retention member (58, 58A, 58B) is movable into the deflected configuration when subjected to an axial force of between about 100 Newtons and about 150 Newtons.

A flexible package assembly may include a pouch configured to hold a fluid, a valve fluidly coupled with the pouch and having an open outlet, the valve defining a conduit through which the fluid may be directed to the open outlet responsive to pressure being applied to the pouch to force the fluid toward the valve. A frangible seal may be disposed between the pouch and the open outlet of the valve or disposed within the valve at the open outlet, the frangible seal may be configured to retain the fluid within the pouch until the frangible seal is broken by the pressure applied to the pouch.

The present invention relates to a squeeze bottle integrally including a container body including a housing portion for housing a liquid composition and a spout connected to the housing portion; and a lid joined to the container body so as to seal an opening of the spout, in which the container body contains a resin containing cyclic olefins and polyethylenes.
