Provided is an airless type mixing container for two kinds of contents capable of discharging all the contents, in which two kinds of substances may be separately accommodated and easily used by mixing the separately accommodated substances. The mixing container is configured such that an auxiliary container mounting member is mounted so as to be positioned on a content receiving part of a main container in which one of two kinds of contents is accommodated, and an auxiliary container in which the other of the two kinds of contents is stored is mounted on the auxiliary container mounting member, so that the two different kinds of contents are respectively stored. When a content discharge pumping member is deeply pressed, as the auxiliary container mounted on the auxiliary container mounting member is released from a body of the auxiliary container mounting member, the two kinds of substances are mixed together.

A fluid dispensing system is provided. The fluid dispensing system includes a container formed by a first chamber and a second chamber separated by an internal divider. A stopper element extends through each chamber via a first aperture disposed in the internal divider. A second aperture is disposed in a base of the second chamber, wherein the stopper element is used to selectively allow fluid to flow from the first chamber into the second chamber when the stopper element is in a measuring configuration. When the stopper element is in a dispensing configuration, the first aperture between is closed and the second aperture is opened to allow fluid from the second chamber to flow exterior from the container. In this manner, a measured amount of fluid from the container can be dispensed in a single movement without using a secondary measuring receptacle.

A nicotine delivery system is disclosed. The nicotine delivery system comprises an actuating mechanism and a housing that has a longitudinal axis and defines a chamber that is configured to receive a plunger and has an outlet for the passage of formulation out of the chamber. The actuating mechanism comprises an actuator and an actuation member. The actuator cooperates with the actuation member such that when a plunger is received in the chamber the plunger and the chamber slide relative to each other in an axial direction by a predetermined incremental distance upon each operation of the actuator to displace a predetermined volume of formulation from the chamber through said outlet.

An article including either a frame having an interior cavity, and a flexible liner situated within the interior cavity; or a deformable frame having an interior cavity. Either frame can receive a sample, such as liquid having suspended live cells, and cooling freezes the sample to a solid sample. The solid sample can be readily ejected from the article having either a frame with the flexible liner, or the deformable frame, without extensive thawing. The solid sample can be rapidly displaced from the article.

The present invention includes a compact container, having a discharge plate and a distribution plate coupled by the discharge plate having a ring-shaped button member thereunder and the button member having rectangular pressure grooves on opposite sides of the inner circumferential surface, and the distribution plate-being provided under the button member, and the outer circumferential surface of the distribution plate having rectangular pressure protrusions, with arc-shaped tops, positioned so as to correspond to the rectangular pressure grooves of the button member. As such, when the button member is pressed to discharge cosmetics, even if the button member is pressed at an angle, the distribution plate can uniformly press a pump vertically as the rectangular pressure grooves of the button member shaped tops of the rectangular pressure protrusions on opposite sides of the distribution plate.

A device for dispensing a fluid product, comprising a rigid cylindrical body having a vertical main axis, a rigid piston which is oriented essentially horizontally and which can slide vertically inside the body, and an upper extraction wall which closes the upper end of the body. According to the invention, the body, the piston and the upper wall define a space that is intended to be filled with the product to be dispensed. In addition, the upper wall comprises a slotted cover that can open in order to connect the space to the exterior. The upper wall is elastically deformable and can deform into the space when a pressure is exerted manually on the upper wall, so as to increase the pressure inside the space and cause the slotted cover to open.

Spray devices that have been preconditioned with an iodine-containing conditioning agent prior to being deployed with aqueous iodine. In some embodiments, each spray device contains one or more materials that will be wetted by the aqueous iodine during use and that have been preconditioned to contain iodine so as to inhibit iodine absorption from the aqueous iodine added to the spray device after the preconditioning. Methods for preconditioning spray devices are also disclosed. In one example, surfaces of spray-device components that will be wetted by aqueous iodine during deployment are exposed to an iodine-containing conditioning agent and, while exposed to the iodine-containing conditioning agent, are thermodynamically treated. Methods of using spray devices for dispensing aqueous iodine for any one or more of a variety of purposes are also disclosed.

A dispensing device for paste products, including toothpaste, is provided. The dispensing device includes a container, a pumping diaphragm and a head applied to the container. The head is equipped with a tube and a button for acting on the diaphragm and deforming it for dispensing. The button has a pressure surface for a user's dispensing action. An extension element which, in an active position, is arranged as an extension of the pressure surface of the button, increases a leverage effect.
