A dispenser for dispensing liquid or pasty materials has a head part with a dispenser opening. The dispenser opening is formed by lip sections which lie directly on top of each other. A lip section for opening the dispenser opening can be lifted from the other lip section by means of a lifting part that engages on the lip section. The lifting part acts on the lip section with a loading direction that runs transversely to a dispensing direction of the material.

The invention is directed to a dispensing device comprising a rigid container, a flexible bladder, and a rigid stopper. The container is adapted to contain a product to be dispensed. The flexible bladder is disposed below and in fluid communication with the container. The bladder comprises a top end, a sidewall extending downwardly from the top end and terminates in a spout. The bladder is in a liquid tight engagement with the container and the product contained in the container is adapted to flow into the bladder. The rigid stopper is disposed within the flexible bladder and comprises a top end, and at least one sidewall extending downwardly from the top end, and terminates in an open bottom end. The stopper comprises a plurality of through holes.

Disclosed is a pump head with a specially configured elastic valve which enables secure closure of the pump head. It is ensured by the valve that complete emptying and, at the same time, secure closing of the pump head is ensured so that no residues of fluid to be metered remain in the storage state of the pump head. In addition, the present invention relates to a metering device which can be configured for example as squeeze bottle, as non-airless system or as airless system, the metering device comprising a pump head according to the invention.

A dispenser pump is constituted by a closure body (2), a diaphragm body (3) which forms a pump chamber with the closure body and optionally a top actuator (4) for pressing the diaphragm body (4). The diaphragm body has a deformable wall (35) formed integrally in the same polymer as its annular mounting portion (31). An inlet valve (5) through the floor (21) of the closure body has a flap (52) which is formed and hinged integrally with that floor (21). An outlet valve may also be formed in the same polymer, either integrally with the diaphragm body or as a separate component. The deformable wall of the diaphragm body is shaped to generate a restoring force itself without a separate spring, so that the entire pump may be made from the same polymer e.g. polypropylene and without metal components.

A sprayer device with a trigger operated pump is operative for pumping and spraying liquid from an attached liquid container. The trigger sprayer includes valve body provided with a base portion that is configured to be mounted to the neck of the liquid container and a delivery nozzle from which the liquid is sprayed. A fluid flow path extends from the base portion to the delivery nozzle. A pumping chamber is in fluid communication with the flow passage and there is a vent opening between the pumping chamber and the interior of said base. A piston with spaced inboard and outboard seals is movable in the pumping chamber and the vent opening is located between the seals. A check valve is disposed between the vent opening and the interior of the base portion to prevent liquid from the container from backflowing into the pumping chamber during shipment and handling.

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 dispensing system includes a container containing a flowable base formulation to be dispensed, an additive mixing device, and an actuable pump engine which draws the flowable base formulation from the container and pumps it through the mixing device. The additive mixing device includes a body with an internal cavity, an additive ingredient within the cavity, and a flow path/mixing chamber between an input and an output. With each pump of the device the additive ingredient is introduced into, and mixed with, a flow of the base formulation traveling through the mixing device. Multiple additive mixing devices may be interchangeable for different formulations, and the mixing devices may be refillable.

A container includes: a container part adapted to store a material therein and having a discharge part disposed on one side thereof to discharge the material therefrom; and a sliding cap coupled to top of the container part and moving a space between a first position for blocking the discharge part from the outside and a second position for exposing the discharge part to the outside according to external forces applied in different directions, wherein the container part and the sliding cap each have at least one or more magnetic members adapted to fix the sliding cap to the first position or the second position and help the sliding cap move, if the external force greater than a given level is applied to the sliding cap, in a direction to which the external force is applied.

A dispenser for dispensing flowable masses has a reservoir and a modular dispenser pump with an input channel, an output channel and a pump chamber. A head piece is provided and has a dispensing opening and a dispensing channel. The dispenser pump can be inserted into the reservoir and can be connected to the reservoir by a locking connection. The pump chamber is formed by a piston and a cup part. The piston is slidably accommodated in the cup part. The cup part has fastening formations for fastening interaction with an inner wall of the reservoir. The locking connection is provided by two radially outwardly protruding locking beads, which are spaced apart from one another in the vertical direction. The locking beads are designed with an insertion rounding on the reservoir side and with a substantially horizontal contact surface with respect to the longitudinal section on the head piece side.
