A container (2; 2) comprises: a cylindrical body (11; 32); a plunger (6; 38) inserted into the body, the plunger being movable along the body; a plug (18; 43) fixedly positioned within the body at a longitudinal distance from the plunger such that the body, the plug (18; 43) and the plunger form a cavity (19; 44); a channel (20) leading through the plug; and a needle (7) connected with the channel (20), a free end of the needle being positioned outside the cavity, wherein the needle is fully housed within the hollow cylindrical body. A dispensing device (1) for dispensing specific amounts of fluids comprises: at least one attachment means (17) for removably attaching a respective container (2; 2) and at least one actuating device comprising at least one stem (3), wherein each stem is movable to engage a respective container.

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.

Embodiments include reusable stick deodorant containers and associated inserts. The container includes a rotatable detachable base that allows an empty insert to be removed and replaced with a full insert. Each insert includes a screw and a follower that engages the screw. The screw engages the detachable base following insertion into the container, so that rotating the base causes the screw to rotate, moving the follower through the insert and expelling the end of a deodorant stick that is disposed upon the follower.

A novel food dispensing device is described which includes a tubular container for holding the food to be consumed, a pushing apparatus which fits inside of the container like a piston in a cylinder and is moved upward to push the food out of an opening in the container. This will allow handicapped persons, or other users that only have one free hand to feed themselves, since it only requires a single hand to operate. In other embodiments the pushing apparatus is mechanized allowing for feeding oneself with no hands. In alternate embodiments, there is also a beverage container and a tube ending near the container opening, allowing one to drink the beverage from the tube by only having to move his/her head and without the user to physically change positions.

Contact lens dispensers are provided including a pens dispenser having an interior and a dispensing end. A delivery screw is provided in the interior of the tubular housing. The delivery screw has a thread pitch and a plurality of contact lenses, one contact lens per pitch. Upon actuation of an actuator, each contact lens moves along the thread by a distance of one pitch and a single contact lens is dispensed from the dispensing end of the tubular housing. A case and disposable foil contact lens cartridge are also provided as a re a case and disposable contact lens foil spool, wherein actuation of push-buttons dispense contact lenses ready for immediate application onto an eye.

The invention concerns a device for dispensing a cosmetic product (P) stored in heterogeneous form comprising solid elements (B) in suspension. The device comprises a container (1), a dispensing end-piece (4), a guide pipe for transporting the product between the container (1) and the dispensing end-piece (4), and means suitable for causing the product to flow from the container (1) towards the end-piece. The guide pipe comprises a device for breaking the solid elements (B) that comprises a first stage (E1), at the outlet of the container (1), forming a first portion of the guide pipe and comprising an evolving cross-section that has, at the outlet, edges that protrude into said guide pipe, and a second stage (E2), in the vicinity of the dispensing end-piece, forming a second portion of the guide pipe and having a gradually narrowing cross-section. The invention also concerns an assembly comprising such a device and a cosmetic or care product comprising solid elements (B) in suspension.

A dispensing package comprising one or more jackets, a screw assembly, and a movable elevator platform; the screw assembly comprising a spindle comprising two external thread portions, which allows for a quick first turn.

A dosing dispenser for a flowable composition includes a housing, a traveler, a plunger, and a driver. The housing defines a chamber, and the plunger is movable within the chamber. The traveler is at least partially within the chamber and configured to selectively position the plunger. The driver is at least partially within the chamber and configured to movably position the traveler relative to the driver. The driver is engaged with the traveler within the chamber.
