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 device for dispensing a fluid substance includes a pressurised container associated with a dispensing valve featuring a supply conduit and a stem endowed with a cavity through which the fluid substance is dispensed, a chamber housed inside the container, and arranged so as to surround at least part of the body of the valve, the chamber delimited by a deformable wall and at least part of the body, the valve being of the three-way type, configured so that when the stem is in a first position, the cavity is isolated from the supply conduit and from the chamber, while the supply conduit is in communication with the chamber, wherein when the stem is in a second position, the cavity is in communication with the chamber, and wherein when the stem is in a third position, the cavity of the stem is in communication with at least the supply conduit.

The present disclosure is directed to a holder. The holder includes a package including a containment portion and a separable portion, wherein the containment portion is separated from the separable portion by perforations, and a sheet within the package, the sheet including a first surface and a second surface, the second surface opposed to the first surface, the first surface operably attached to the separable portion, the sheet configured to extend a distance along an interior of the containment portion, wherein at least a portion of the first surface of the sheet contacts the interior surface of the containment portion, and wherein a liquid composition contacts a second surface of the sheet.

In a spray nozzle with a nozzle housing including a dosing chamber for accommodating a release agent to be sprayed into a mold via a discharge line including a check valve and a nozzle body and a venting unit integrated into the nozzle housing for venting air from the spray nozzle, the volume of the dosing chamber is adjustable and the venting unit is activatable by an activation signal by which the venting unit is moved from a dysfunctional position to a venting and opening position in which the check valve is held open by the venting unit for venting the dosing chamber and the discharge line, via the nozzle body.

A bag-in-bottle type of a squeeze dispenser comprising a housing, a cap, a flexible bag for containing fluid, and means to equilibrate atmospheric air pressure with air pressure inside the housing is disclosed. Said means include a closable air channel. The closable air channel, and the cap, may each be in an open or a closed position. When the cap is in an open position, the closable air channel is in a closed position, thus substantially locking the air inside the housing in place and allowing for fluid to be dispensed from the flexible bag upon application of pressing force on the sidewalls of the housing. When the cap is in a closed position, the closable air channel is in an open position, allowing for a flow of atmospheric air into, and out of, the dispenser housing and thereby equilibrating the air pressure inside the housing with air pressure of the atmospheric air.

In one embodiment, a delivery device for administering liquid includes a bottle body having a bottle neck, a bottle cap configured to attach to the bottle neck, a nozzle associated with the bottle cap, and a valve assembly associated within the nozzle, the valve assembly comprising a liquid metering valve configured to ensure a precise, predetermined volume of liquid exits the nozzle each time a user actuates the delivery device.

A liquid dispensing device includes a multifunction membrane valve that, in addition to allowing the dispensing of drops with a drop-check mechanism, ensures and isolates the passage of the air to be filtered so that it does not contaminate the liquid in the interior of the dispensing device; it has a reduced number of parts; it facilitates proper assembly by counter pressure, without the need for threads or complex coupling elements; it avoids the need for rotational alignment when assembling the parts, among other advantages.

A dispenser for substances includes an outer shell with a deformable outer wall which encloses the deformable container arrangement and at least one balancing valve for balancing air, wherein an air filled intermediary gap is located between the outer wall and the container arrangement and the dispenser is configured to dispense substances after pressure loading the outer shell, wherein the container arrangement includes at least two containers and a common dispensing head are connected with each other pressure tight in at least one portion, and wherein at least one of the containers includes self-closing filling valves which are configured to be openable by pressure during filling the at least two containers.

Exemplary embodiments of pumps having positive pressure venting and refill units are disclosed herein. An exemplary pump includes a liquid pump chamber, a liquid piston, a first air pump chamber, and a first air piston and a mixing area in fluid communication with the liquid pump chamber and the first air pump chamber. The exemplary pump further includes a second air pump chamber and a second air pump piston. The second air pump chamber is configured for pumping air into a container and the first air piston and the second air piston move in unison.

A handheld spray device has a flexible bellow coupled to a base to thereby retain liquid therein. The bellow has a bulbous section adjacent the base, narrows away from the base to terminal section opposite the base and has a side notch formed at one side of the bellow between the bulbous section and the terminal section. The base also has a nozzle therethrough such that when the bellow is squeezed in use, the liquid is forced via the nozzle.
