A pump assembly for a pump dispenser, the pump assembly comprises a cap having a housing and a spout, a collar, a sleeve, and a dip tube. The sleeve is at least partially positioned within the collar and comprises a coupling member. The coupling member comprises a shoulder, a coupling joint, and a coupling member channel extending from the shoulder to the coupling joint. The dip tube has a first end and an opposing second end, and defines a dip tube channel extending from the first end to the second end. The first end of the dip tube is configured to pivotally couple to the coupling joint and fluidly connect the dip tube channel and the coupling member channel. The dip tube channel comprises a first diameter at the first end and second diameter at the second end that is different than the first diameter.

An article contains an elbow having at least two sections that arc hingcdly attached to one another by means of a hinging joint so that the first section can move in a plane with respect to the second section, wherein the sections define a passageway through which a dispensing straw can extend where the passageway extends all the way through the two sections and perpendicularly through the hinging joint attaching them. The article can include a bendable dispensing straw extending through the passageway of the elbow.

A device to allow for the continuous spraying of pressurized liquid from an aerosol spray can at any angle required, and in locations that can only be accessed through an openings through which an aerosol spray can does not fit, all while automatically preventing backflow of the pressurized liquid through the device.

A spraying device for spraying fluid from a replaceable refill is described, the refill comprising a refill body containing a reservoir of fluid to be sprayed, a valve stem in fluid communication with the reservoir and a spray head mounted on the valve stem, the spray head having a spray exit nozzle, wherein the spraying device comprises a housing with a releasably engagable top portion and base portion; wherein the base portion is configured to retain at least a lower portion of the refill body therein and wherein the top portion has a spray opening and holds an actuation mechanism, and wherein the top portion further comprises an alignment means for cooperation with the spray opening wherein alignment is provided to the refill spray head, in use, by a radially-spaced ledge substantially co-axial with the valve stem of the refill, the ledge being provided with an at least partially hollow core to receive at least a portion, in use, of the refill spray head, and wherein the ledge extends downwardly from the top portion toward the base portion such that the ledge adjacent the spray opening extends less than the rearmost part of the ledge that is remote from the spray opening which extends furthermost. A method of using the spraying device is also described.

The present invention relates to a liquid dispensing device. The device has a main housing, and comprises: a liquid delivery pump, comprising: an inlet; an outlet; a piston, disposed in a cylinder, the piston being movable in a liquid delivery direction between a first position and a second position, and in a liquid priming direction between the second position and the first position; and resilient means for biasing the piston in the liquid priming direction; an operating button, movable between a first position and a second position, and configured to act on the piston to move the piston in the liquid delivery direction; and resilient means for biasing the operating button in the liquid priming direction independently of said piston. In one embodiment, the operating button comprises locking means, configured to engage with the main housing to substantially prevent movement of said operating button in the liquid delivery direction until the operating button and the piston are in their respective first positions. In a further embodiment, the device further comprises a dosing ring configured to limit movement of said operating button in the liquid delivery direction, the dosing ring being adjustably mounted on a support member to enable the volume of liquid dispensed to be adjusted.

A dispenser and applicator head (3) for associating with a dispenser unit (2), such as a pump, the head, having a connection stub (4t) for connecting to the dispenser unit (2); an assembly core (4n) connected to the connection stub (4t); a fluid applicator pad (5) mounted on the assembly core (4n) for coming into contact with a target surface; and a dispenser channel (Ca, Cs) that passes through the connection stub (4t) and the assembly core (4) and that forms a dispenser orifice (50). The dispenser channel (Ca, Cs) includes an outlet segment (Cs) formed jointly by the assembly core (4n) and by the fluid applicator pad (5).

A dispensing device dispenses a liquid held in a container. The device includes an engagement portion for the mutual engagement of the device and the container. Drawing and dispensing means draws the liquid from the container to dispense it. A main operating body operates the drawing and dispensing means through pressure exerted along a pressing direction. The main operating body moves with respect to the engagement portion, when subjected to pressure, between a rest position and an activating position. A dispensing nozzle is fixed to the main operating body and provided with a dispensing duct suited to dispense the liquid. The dispensing nozzle is switched from the main operating body, through a rotary movement, between a dispensing position and a non-dispensing position. Constraining means prevents the movement of the main operating body along the pressing direction when the dispensing nozzle is in the non-dispensing position.

An oral hydration system, which includes a fluid reservoir; a supply tube fluidly coupled to the reservoir at its distal end; and a mouthpiece pump molded as a single piece utilizing one pliable material and deformable along its entire length, wherein the mouthpiece pump is fluidly coupled at its distal end to a proximal end of the supply tube, wherein the mouthpiece pump or the supply tube comprises a one-way distal valve and the mouthpiece pump is sealed proximally with a proximal face in a form of a mouthpiece containing a proximal valve that seals until the pump is deformed by a user for the purpose of creating a priming and pumping action to draw fluid from the reservoir, through the supply tube and out of the mouthpiece pump to the user.
