The present invention relates to the field of test devices. The skin prick test device according the present invention mainly comprises conjoined bottles, a tray and pricking devices, wherein each set of conjoined bottles, which comprises a large bottle body and a small bottle body, is arranged in clamping holes of the tray, and liquid medicine can flow into the small bottle body from the large bottle body through an inclined surface, thereby avoiding frequent refilling of the liquid medicine. In addition, each connecting base has a trapezoidal cross section with its bottom surface being flush with that of the holder, and is gradually widened from the top down to fit with the parallel clamp plates on the tray, so that the pricking device has better stability as both ends thereof are prevented from excessively shaking longitudinally when the pricking device is taken out of and put into the tray.

A liquid and semi-liquid product dispenser that improves gravity dispensing of product by using a product bottle that slopes downwards towards the feed valve when the bottle is placed for dispensing. This includes a long sloped portion that extends downwards from the rear of the bottle to the front of the bottle, and a curved and sloped portion proximate to the valve. These slopes feed product to the valve under the force of gravity when the valve is opened. Installation of product bottles is aided by an interior design of the dispenser case that mirrors the bottles contours and ensures that the bottle is positioned for use when placed.

A liquid dispenser for dispensing a consumable liquid from a container. The dispenser includes a cabinet configured to receive one or more containers in an inverted position such that liquid is induced by gravity to flow out of an open interior of the container though a dispensing opening. A positive pressure valve assembly is mounted to the dispensing opening of the container prior to insertion of the container into the cabinet. The valve assembly includes a cap connected to the dispensing opening and a discharge tube extending from the cap. A flow restrictor of the valve assembly is positioned to selectively open and close the discharge tube to control the flow of liquid from the container. A one-way valve is positioned between the open interior of the container and a supply of air. The one-way valve allows air flow into the container as the fluid is discharged to maintain a positive pressure within the container.

A monitoring and reminding system for water dispenser devices is provided, in that sensors are provided to detect the volume of the water buckets installed in the water dispenser device and the detecting results are transferred to a processing unit. Based on volume of water in the water bucket and update condition of the water bucket in the water dispenser device, volume of water consumed by a customer can be derived. Then relative reminding sentences are determine and provided to users. Therefore, supplement of water can be performed in advance and customers and managers can understand the whole operations of the system based on the data in the customer database and the operation results from the statistical unit. Furthermore such operation can be performed automatically so as to greatly promote convenience and efficiency of water supplement and message communication.

A gravity based dispenser for use with a bottle of liquid. The dispenser hangs about the neck of a user and allows the user to selectively dispense water from the water bottle while the user maintains a valve of the dispenser in an open position. In a closed position, the valve of the dispenser prevents the flow of liquid from the bottle to which the dispenser is attached. The valve is biased to the closed position. In this way, a user may use water to wash their hands using a single water bottle without using unnecessary quantities of water.

These objects are attained in a mount for a lubricant dispenser and that has a protective casing forming a cavity adapted to hold the dispenser and having a lower edge and a bracket having a lower generally horizontal leg on which the lower edge of the casing sits. An outlet fitting is provided on the lower leg positioned to received lubricant from the dispenser in the cavity of the casing sitting on the lower leg.

A method is for manufacturing a container (C), such as a PET bottle, with a convex bottom and a self-bearing support, typically a self-bearing label. In particular, the method is for manufacturing a container (C) with a convex bottom and a self-bearing support including providing a plurality of containers (C) having a convex bottom. A machine (100) is provided for applying strips made of flexible material to the containers (C) and a plurality of support elements (1, 101, 201) for the containers (C). The support elements (1, 101, 201) are strips made of a support material. The method further includes feeding the plurality of containers (C) to the machine (100) and applying a support element (1, 101, 201) to each of the containers (C).

A fluid dispenser includes a housing, a pump, an outlet nozzle, a reservoir, a liquid passage, an air passage, and a refill container. The pump and reservoir are attached to the housing, and both the outlet nozzle and the reservoir are in fluid communication with the pump. The reservoir has at least one engagement member, and the liquid passage and the air passage are located in the engagement member. The refill container has at least one sealing member, and the refill container is configured to be releasably attached to the reservoir such that the refill container is in fluid communication with the reservoir. When the refill container is attached to the reservoir, the engagement member engages the sealing member to cause the liquid passage and the air passage to be in fluid communication with the refill container.

A method for manufacturing a stopper for closing a neck of a container comprises a first step of molding the stopper in one piece. The stopper includes a sealing membrane provided with a central opening, a tubular stem centered on an axis and extending from the sealing membrane around the central opening, and a capsule connected, by a tear wall, to a free end of the stem. The capsule is configured to be wedged in the stem to seal the neck of the container. The method comprises a second step in which, while the tear wall is intact, a force, in line with the axis, is applied to the stopper so as to break the tear wall and move the capsule inside the stem until the capsule is wedged in the stem.
