Dispenser and process
A dispenser (10) for dispensing a flowable material M has a container (12) having an outer wall (20) and membrane (14) collectively defining a first chamber (22) configured to contain the flowable material M. The membrane (14) has a thickness and a weld seam (40) wherein the weld seam (40) has a thickness less than the thickness of the membrane (14). A fracturing mechanism (16) is operably connected to the container (12). The fracturing mechanism (16) has an extending member (64) projecting from the outer wall (20) of the container (12). The extending member (64) has a projection (66) positioned proximate the membrane (14), wherein in response to deflection of the extending member (64), the projection (66) deflects the outer wall (20) proximate the membrane (14) wherein the weld seam (40) fractures creating an opening (41) through the membrane (14) configured to allow the flowable material M to pass therethrough and from the dispenser (10).
Break-Open Single-Dose Packages
A break-open single-dose package includes a panel defining one or more frangible regions, one or more sheets coupled to the panel and defining one or more pockets therebetween for storing one or more spreadable consumables, and an applicator. The frangible region(s) are adapted to form one or more openings through which the spreadable consumable(s) can exit in response to folding of the panel. The applicator may include one or more optional features such as a chamber, a backing, a tab, a blade, a grip, etc. to permit a user to spread on a surface any spreadable consumable(s) that exit the pocket(s) using the applicator without requiring the user's hand(s) to contact the spreadable consumable(s).
ADJUSTABLE ADDITIVE CARTRIDGE SYSTEMS AND METHODS
An additive delivery system may incorporate a cartridge system, including a container cap and a reservoir assembly that provides for storage of an additive. The container cap includes a mixing nozzle for mixing of the additive with a base fluid as the base fluid flows from the base fluid container through the cartridge. A one-way valve prevents backflow of base fluid and/or mixed base fluid/additive from an area downstream of the mixing nozzle such that the base fluid supply remains in a pure state.
DUAL-PUMP OUTFLOWING LIQUID CONTAINER
The present disclosure provides a dual-pump outflowing liquid container, comprising an outer tube, an inner tube and a pump core mechanism, wherein the pump core mechanism includes a pump core mounting seat, the first vacuum pump, the second vacuum pump and a pressing head, the embedding connector is connected to the inner tube embedding mounting hole in a sealing manner, the pump core mounting seat is detachably connected to the top end of the outer tube, the first pump core mounting hole corresponds to the first pump core intercommunication hole, the second pump core mounting hole corresponds to the second pump core intercommunication hole, the pressing head is slidably connected to the pump core mounting seat, a passage inlet of the first outflowing liquid passage is abutting with a pump outlet of the first vacuum pump in a sealing manner.
Break-Open Single-Dose Packages
A break-open single-dose package includes a panel defining a frangible region, one or more sheets coupled to the panel and defining a pocket therebetween for storing a spreadable consumable, and an applicator. The frangible region is adapted to form an opening through which the spreadable consumable can exit in response to folding of the panel. The applicator includes a backing and a vessel extending from the backing. The vessel defines a channel for receiving any spreadable consumable that exits the pocket. The applicator is positioned adjacent to the frangible region for permitting a user to spread on a surface any spreadable consumable that exits the pocket using the applicator without requiring the user's hand(s) to contact the spreadable consumable. The backing is configured to move with the panel and separate from the vessel in response to folding of the panel. Other example packages and/or applicators are also disclosed.
Adjustable additive cartridge systems and methods
An additive delivery system may incorporate a cartridge system, including a container cap and a reservoir assembly that provides for storage of an additive. The container cap includes a mixing nozzle for mixing of the additive with a base fluid as the base fluid flows from the base fluid container through the cartridge. A one-way valve prevents backflow of base fluid and/or mixed base fluid/additive from an area downstream of the mixing nozzle such that the base fluid supply remains in a pure state.
ATTACHMENT FOR A BEVERAGE CONTAINER
An attachment for a beverage container may comprise a cap configured to attach to an opening in the beverage container. The cap comprises an opening. The attachment also comprises a tube passing through the cap. The opening in the cap is located proximate to a first end of the tube and a second end of the tube is configured to be located within the beverage container when the cap is attached to the beverage container, such that a beverage contained in the beverage container can flow through the tube and out of the opening in the cap. The attachment also comprises a container attached to the tube and configured to hold a liquid. The container comprises an opening to allow the liquid to flow from the container into the tube and out of the opening in the cap. The attachment also comprises a restrictor between the opening of the container and the tube to control and/or restrict the flow of the liquid from the container into the tube. The restrictor and the tube are configured such that the liquid begins to exit the opening in the cap before the beverage begins to exit the opening in the cap.
Dispenser and Process
A dispenser (10) for dispensing a flowable material M has a container (12) having an outer wall (20) and membrane (14) collectively defining a first chamber (22) configured to contain the flowable material M. The membrane (14) has a thickness and a weld seam (40) wherein the weld seam (40) has a thickness less than the thickness of the membrane (14). A fracturing mechanism (16) is operably connected to the container (12). The fracturing mechanism (16) has an extending member (64) projecting from the outer wall (20) of the container (12). The extending member (64) has a projection (66) positioned proximate the membrane (14), wherein in response to deflection of the extending member (64), the projection (66) deflects the outer wall (20) proximate the membrane (14) wherein the weld seam (40) fractures creating an opening (41) through the membrane (14) configured to allow the flowable material M to pass therethrough and from the dispenser (10).
Dispenser
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.
