The invention comprises a dispensing device having an elongated body, a sidewall which is elliptical in at least a portion of its cross-section, an open top end, and a dispensing bottom end. The device comprises a ratchet, ratchet support member, dial, telescoping members, and an elliptical plunger. The ratchet support member and dial each engage the ratchet to allow movement in certain directions and prevent movement in other directions, beyond a certain point. A first telescoping member having the smallest diameter is affixed to the ratchet. The interior diameter of a second telescoping member is larger than the exterior diameter of the first telescoping member, such that the first telescoping member is configured to nest within the interior of the second telescoping member. The first telescoping member may be extended a distance through the dispenser body via rotation of the ratchet. The plunger is affixed to the telescoping member having the largest diameter.

A disposable cartridge is disclosed for use with an electronic device for producing an aerosol for inhalation by a person. The cartridge comprises a liquid container containing a liquid which when aerosolized is intended for inhalation by a person; and a transducer that, when actuated, causes the liquid from the container to be aerosolized such that the aerosol may be inhaled by a person. In various embodiments, the liquid comprises: a liposomal carrier; a liquid mixture having an active agent entrapped by liposomes; and a liquid mixture comprising a nanodispersion. The liquid may include nicotine, tetrahydrocannabinol, cannabidiol, or nanoparticles formed by an oil droplet covered by a monolayer of phosphatidylcholine. The transducer preferably comprises a mesh material with the transducer and the mesh material forming a piezo mesh disk for aerosolizing the liquid.

A metered dispensing device for plant extracts is provided. The device includes a main body having an inner volume for holding plant extract, a rotatable dial operably coupled on an end of the main body, a dispensing end located on an end of the main body opposite the rotatable dial, and a dispensing tip coupled to the dispensing end. The device also includes a dispensing mechanism including a plunger moveable along the length of the main body in response to rotation of the dial. The plunger pushes plant extract from the inner volume out the dispensing tip. The device also includes a feedback system providing tactile and audible feedback after a predetermined amount of plant extract has been dispensed through the dispensing tip.

A sub-assembly and a method for manufacturing the sub-assembly are disclosed. The sub-assembly includes a shell, driver and a body. The shell is open at both ends and has a smooth inner wall. The driver has first and second portions with a channel arranged along an inner wall. The first portion of the driver is fixed to the shell. The body has an open end and a closed end. A set of flexible appendages compressively contact an inner wall over the second portion of the driver. The shell, driver and body are concentric tubes. A sub-assembly of a product dispenser is produced by pressing the first portion of the driver into the shell and inserting the body into the driver such that the flexible appendages compressively contact the inner wall of the driver. A product holder or cup can be introduced in the body to complete the assembly.

A solid adhesive is described that has an excellent finish, a light coating feeling, and is also capable of adhering to paper, wood, cloth, and the like. The solid adhesive contains water, an organic solvent, a gelation agent such as a dibenzalide of pentavalent to hexavalent sugar alcohol, and a polyvinyl formal resin. In some examples, the solid adhesive further includes a polyvinyl butyral resin and/or an adhesive resin such as a polyvinyl pyrrolidone resin. A feed type solid adhesive may be provided, including a feeding container that is filled with the solid adhesive described above.

Disclosed is a spuit-type heterogeneous contents mixing container. The spuit-type heterogeneous contents mixing container includes an outer container for containing a first content therein; an inner container for containing a second content therein, the inner container having at least a portion inserted into the outer container and being formed with a vertical guide groove; a sealing plate detachably coupled to the inner container to prevent the first and second contents from being mixed; a rotation cap rotatably coupled to the outer container; a rotation member rotated together with the rotation cap and formed with an oblique guide portion; an operating member disposed to be movable vertically in the inner container and provided with a guide protrusion; and a spuit part for sucking and discharging the first and second contents contained in the outer container.

A deodorant package is provided, including a screw rotatably coupled to one end of a tubular body and extending along a longitudinal axis so that rotation of the screw drives a piston axially within the body. The package includes a cap having a first end configured to engage an open end of the body. The opposite end of the cap is flared with a planar end face lying perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the body. The flare provides stable face on which to stand the package. The end of the package opposite the cap may be rounded or otherwise shaped to further encourage a user to rest the package with the capped end downward. A ridge is formed around the inner surface of the body, near the end, to help prevent a stick of semisolid deodorant from falling into the cap while the package is standing thereon.

A method for preparing persimmon jam by using a persimmon and Prunus mume, and a packaging container for the long-term storage and convenient use thereof. The method for preparing persimmon jam by using a persimmon and Prunus mume provides storability and the specific flavor and taste of persimmon jam by adding a functional material of Prunus mume to semi-dried persimmons so as to prepare the persimmon jam, and a packaging container provides the long-term storage and convenient use.

A dispenser with a housing, a plunger, and an activation mechanism coupled to the plunger. The housing defines a reservoir configured to retain a liquid and a dispensing orifice in fluid communication with the reservoir. The plunger is configured to move through the reservoir toward the dispensing orifice to dispense the liquid through the dispensing orifice. The activation mechanism is configured to be moved by a user, and movement of the activation mechanism in a first direction causes the plunger to move toward the dispensing orifice. At least one of the activation mechanism and the housing is configured to provide feedback to a user when the activation mechanism moves a predetermined distance in the first direction. A method of using the dispenser.

A sub-assembly and a method for manufacturing the sub-assembly are disclosed. The sub-assembly includes a shell, driver and a body. The shell is open at both ends and has a smooth inner wall. The driver has first and second portions with a channel arranged along an inner wall. The first portion of the driver is fixed to the shell. The body has an open end and a closed end. A set of flexible appendages compressively contact an inner wall over the second portion of the driver. The shell, driver and body are concentric tubes. A sub-assembly of a product dispenser is produced by pressing the first portion of the driver into the shell and inserting the body into the driver such that the flexible appendages compressively contact the inner wall of the driver. A product holder or cup can be introduced in the body to complete the assembly.
