A connection system between a head and a bottle of a trigger dispensing device includes a main skirt having a first flexible tab and a neck having a first sloping plane and a first pocket. The first flexible tab extends circumferentially from a first end to a second end, and the first end is joined to an annular wall by a closing wall. The system also provides for an auxiliary window obtained through the annular wall of the main skirt, and a rigid auxiliary tooth of the neck, suitable to snap into the auxiliary window.

According to some illustrative embodiments, an angularly adjustable spray nozzle is employed that includes: a base section having a water flow path extending lengthwise there-through; a head section aligned at an end of the base section and rotatably mounted to the base section; wherein a flow path through the base section is inclined at an angle to a flow path through the head section such that when the head section is rotated a predetermined extent relative to the base section, the spray device is moved between a substantially straight configuration of the head section with respect to the base section and an angular configuration of the head section with respect to the base section; wherein the head section includes a rotatable turret assembly having a plurality of selectable spray type discharge ports and a sleeve to which the rotatable turret assembly is mounted, the rotatable turret assembly including labels on a periphery thereof corresponding to respective ones of the selectable spray type discharge ports, and the sleeve having a plurality of windows through which the labels are viewed when aligned; and wherein the spray device is configured such that when the spray device is oriented in a generally horizontal use position a respective one of the labels corresponding to a selected spray type is displayed within a respective one of the windows that is located at a top side of the sleeve whether the spray device is in the substantially straight configuration or in the angular configuration.

A liquid dispensing system includes at least one container for storing the liquid to be dispensed, the at least one container having a neck defining an fill opening for the liquid. The system includes a liquid dispensing device releasably connectable to the at least one container, an exchangeable cartridge for an additive to be mixed with the stored liquid, where the cartridge is accommodated in the neck, and means for opening the cartridge. The cartridge includes a one-piece hollow body filled with the additive and with a pressurized gas, and the opening means include at least one piercing member arranged to pierce a wall of the hollow body. A method of dispensing a liquid by using the liquid dispensing system, and a cartridge for use in the liquid dispensing system and/or method.

A connection system between a dispensing head and a bottle of a trigger dispensing device includes a skirt having a seat configured as an inlet on an inner surface, and a neck having a rib protruding from an outer surface. In a relative assembled position, the rib is angularly aligned with the seat while, outside of the relative assembled position, the rib constitutes an impediment to axial insertion of the skirt on the neck.

According to some illustrative embodiments, an angularly adjustable spray nozzle is employed that includes: a base section having a water flow path extending lengthwise there-through; a head section aligned at an end of the base section and rotatably mounted to the base section; wherein a flow path through the base section is inclined at an angle to a flow path through the head section such that when the head section is rotated a predetermined extent relative to the base section, the spray device is moved between a substantially straight configuration of the head section with respect to the base section and an angular configuration of the head section with respect to the base section; wherein the head section includes a rotatable turret assembly having a plurality of selectable spray type discharge ports and a sleeve to which the rotatable turret assembly is mounted, the rotatable turret assembly including labels on a periphery thereof corresponding to respective ones of the selectable spray type discharge ports, and the sleeve having a plurality of windows through which the labels are viewed when aligned; and wherein the spray device is configured such that when the spray device is oriented in a generally horizontal use position a respective one of the labels corresponding to a selected spray type is displayed within a respective one of the windows that is located at a top side of the sleeve whether the spray device is in the substantially straight configuration or in the angular configuration.

A gas-filled resilient body and uses thereof are described. The gas-filled resilient body may be used as a valve member, as a spring or as a gas-propelled dispenser.

A liquid dispensing system includes at least one container for storing the liquid to be dispensed, the at least one container having a neck defining a fill opening for the liquid. The system includes a liquid dispensing device releasably connectable to the at least one container, an exchangeable cartridge for an additive to be mixed with the stored liquid, where the cartridge is accommodated in the neck, and a piercing member for opening the cartridge. The cartridge includes a one-piece hollow body filled with the additive and with a pressurized gas, and the piercing member is arranged to pierce a wall of the hollow body. A method of dispensing a liquid by using the liquid dispensing system, and a cartridge for use in the liquid dispensing system and/or method.

A connection system between a trigger dispensing head and a bottle of a dispensing device is provided. The neck of the bottle and the skirt of the trigger dispensing head are engageable with each other exclusively in a relevant predefined angular position, wherein the axial snap-engagement between the skirt and the neck is allowed.

A method and apparatus for applying a sealant to a structure. The method comprises scanning a surface of the structure with a vision system to form scanned data. The method further determines a sealant application path for the structure using the scanned data. The method also controls movement of an application tip along the sealant application path using a controller.

A connection system between a head and a bottle of a trigger dispensing device includes a main skirt having a first flexible tab and a neck (2b) having a first sloping plane and a first pocket. The first flexible tab extends circumferentially from a first end to a second end, and the first end is joined to an annular wall by a closing wall. The system also provides for an auxiliary window obtained through the annular wall of the main skirt, and a rigid auxiliary tooth of the neck, suitable to snap into the auxiliary window.
