A dispenser for substances includes an outer shell with a deformable outer wall which encloses the deformable container arrangement and also comprising at least one balancing valve for balancing air, wherein an air filled interspace is provided between the outer wall and the container arrangement and substances are dispensed once the outer shell has been subjected to pressure, and wherein the container arrangement has at least two containers for the separate storage of liquid for pasty substances. For long term storage of the substances in particular an outlet portion of the container arrangement has a diffusion seal made from metal which is pierced and opened by the dispensing head using points just before the dispenser is being used.

A small-capacity liquid discharging apparatus includes, a contents accommodating container unit which is defined with a space therein for accommodating contents in a liquid form; an intermediate coupling body which includes a closing plate member coupled to an upper side of the contents accommodating container unit and configured to close an upper portion of the contents accommodating container unit, is defined with a through hole for allowing the contents to move therethrough, and includes a shape body filled therein with the contents from the contents accommodating container unit through the through hole, and transformed inwardly when a pressure is externally applied, and then restored; and a discharge member which is coupled to an upper portion of the intermediate coupling body, includes, at a center portion thereof, a discharge outlet through which the contents are discharged to the outside.

A carpet and upholstery cleaning product is configured to store a consumable cleaning solution and dispense the cleaning solution to treat a spot or stain on a surface to be cleaned. The cleaning product can include a bottle defining a reservoir for the cleaning solution, a fluid dispensing outlet provided on an angled neck of the, and a scrubber on the bottle for scrubbing stains on the surface to be cleaned, wherein the scrubber is offset from the fluid outlet such that the cleaning solution is not dispensed through the scrubber.

A body is configured to accept a medication container in a container cavity defined therein. The body may approximate a half-cylinder with the container disposed in the concavity, and held in place with flexure tabs or other restraints. A force sensor is disposed on the interior of the body in communication with the container cavity and container. Dispensing force applied to the container from the body side do not reach the container to dispense medication; dispensing force applied from the open side do, and also cause the container to press against the force sensor. This indirect, transmitted force is detected with the force sensor, and the force data is evaluated in a processor. In response to the force data corresponding with dispensing medication, the processor registers a medication event, such as by storing the event, displaying the event, or communicating the event to a third party.

An actuator includes a diaphragm, a lower electrode on the diaphragm, an electromechanical transducer film on the lower electrode, and an upper electrode on the electromechanical transducer film. The diaphragm includes a first silicon oxide film having a thickness of 0.5 m or more, a silicon layer on the first silicon oxide film, a thickness of which is 3 m or more, and a second silicon oxide film on the silicon layer, a thickness of which is 0.5 m or more. A volume resistivity of the silicon layer is 10.sup.3 .Math.cm or more and 10.sup.6 .Math.cm or less.

The delaminatable container is capable of suppressing deterioration of the contents under high-temperature environment. The delaminatable container includes a container body; and a tubular outer case being installed in the container body; wherein: the container body includes an outer shell and an inner bag, and the inner bag shrinks as contents decrease.

The invention relates to a device for pressing out a material from a deformable tube, comprising the following: a housing having a base end; an upper section opposite the base end; and lateral wall sections between the base end and the upper section; a squeezer that can be introduced into the housing, wherein the squeezer has a carrier element and two opposing jaws for gripping and squeezing out a material from the tube, wherein the housing has an opening in the upper section through which an outlet of the tube can be guided, and same has openings in opposing parts of the lateral wall sections via which the jaws can be actuated, wherein the jaws are secured to the carrier element at one end and the squeezer also has a manual lever element on at least one jaw, wherein the lever element is connected to the jaw in a connection region to form an assembly, in which a pressure manually applied to the lever element brings about a force on the jaw in the direction of the other jaw, wherein the lever element has a body with reinforcing ribs, wherein the reinforcing ribs are surrounded at least partially by a closed outer skin, wherein a region of the outer skin forms a gripping region.

A fluid dispenser comprising a deformable outer shell (1) and a flexible inner pouch (2) that is arranged inside the shell (1) in such a manner as to define between them a compression space (E) that is filled with air, the pouch (2) containing a fluid for dispensing through a dispenser valve (4), the compression space (E) communicating with the outside through an air inlet valve (5), such that deformation of the shell (1) puts the air contained in the compression space (E) under pressure, the air under pressure acting on the pouch (2), so that the fluid therein is then forced through the dispenser valve (4), the dispenser also comprising a head (3) that is fitted on the shell (1) and on the pouch (2), the head (3) comprising a first valve support (34) on which the dispenser valve (4) is mounted, and a second valve support (35) on which the air inlet valve (5) is mounted; the dispenser being characterized in that it further comprises a hood (6) that is fastened in non-leaktight manner on the deformable outer shell (1), the hood (6) holding the head (3) in place on the deformable outer shell (1) and on the flexible inner pouch (21), the hood (6) including a window (63) in which the dispenser valve (4) is positioned.

The disposable powder-dispensing bulb is configured for use with talcum powder. The disposable powder-dispensing bulb stores the talcum powder. The disposable powder-dispensing bulb dispenses the talcum powder. The disposable powder-dispensing bulb is disposable. The disposable powder-dispensing bulb is degradable after disposal. The disposable powder-dispensing bulb comprises a degradable bulb, a degradable cap, and talcum powder. The degradable bulb is a hollow containment structure. The talcum powder is stored in the degradable bulb. The degradable cap attaches to the degradable bulb. The degradable cap opens and closes to provide access to the talcum powder stored within the degradable bulb.

The fluid applicators disclosed herein include an applicator cap and a squeezable bottle that can be releasably and fluidically coupled together. The applicator cap includes a tube, conduit, passageway, reservoir, chamber, cavity, lumen, and/or other features that direct fluid exiting the squeezable bottle through the applicator cap to exit the applicator cap via an opening, aperture, or hole that is disposed at a transverse angle, which can be perpendicular, relative to a longitudinal axis of the squeezable bottle. The fluid exiting via the opening, aperture, or hole is expelled onto and/or into an applicator surface or pad to be applied to the body of the user. The squeezable bottle can be used as a handle to effectively extend the reach of the user to enable the user to rub the applicator surface or pad, with expelled fluid, on the remote areas of a user's body.
