The invention relates to the field of inhalation devices for medically active liquids. In particular, the invention relates to a cartridge containing said liquid for such an inhalation devices. A cartridge (1) for the storage of a medically active liquid (L) and for supply of the same to a pumping unit of an inhalation device comprises an outer container (3) enclosing a collapsible inner bag (4), and a cap (5) which is capable of closing the container (3), the cap (5) further providing an openable access opening (6) to the inner bag (4), wherein further, the container (3) of the cartridge (1) has a pressure compensation opening (7), and wherein said pressure compensation opening (7) is located in a region (8) which is covered by the cap (5). In a method for providing a pressure compensation to the collapsible inner bag-containing interior of the outer container (3) of a cartridge (1), initially, before the cartridge (1) is connected to a holder (2), the pressure compensation opening (7) is closed, and subsequently, when the cartridge (1) is connected to the holder (2), by way of mechanically deforming (i) a pressure compensation opening comprising region of the outer container (3) and/or (ii) a compensation opening covering region of the cap (5), an air gap (9) is provided which allows for a pressure equalization of the bag-containing interior with the ambient pressure.

A piston pump for dispensing fluid from a closed container in which during the cycle of operation to dispense fluid, atmospheric air is discharged into the reservoir towards reducing a vacuum that might otherwise be created within the container.

A spray head for a spray bottle includes a spray mechanism connected to a tube that extends into the spray bottle. The spray mechanism draws fluid from a bottom of the spray bottle, through the tube, to produce a spray of the fluid. A threaded female fitting attaches to a threaded top of the spray bottle. The threaded female, when screwed on to the threaded top of the spray bottle, securely attaches the spray head to the spray bottle. A refill valve, when opened, provides a conduit to refill the spray bottle so that fluid can be poured into the spray bottle without unscrewing the threaded fitting and removing the spray head from the spray bottle. A refill valve cap, when in a shut position, closes the refill valve to prevent spilling of the liquid when the spray bottle is not being refilled.

An airbrush that sprays liquid in a mist form. A supply of a compressed air and a supply of the spray liquid can be controlled at the same time only using a spray button included in a spray head. Accordingly, a loss of the spray liquid can be minimized, the airbrush can be maintained clean, and usability of the airbrush can be enhanced.

Air purge device for an airless liquid product dispenser having a container equipped with means for sampling the product. The device has a bleed ring that has a deformable lip seal accommodated inside a protective part designed to be inserted into the container. The deformation of the lip when mounting the air purge device in the container causes the air to be purged from the container.

A pump assembly which provides a frangible air vent mechanism for providing communication between the atmosphere and the interior of a bottle to which the pump assembly is to be coupled. A vent port is provided through a bottle cap member having an inner end open into the bottle and an outer end open to the atmosphere. A frangible plug member is received in the vent port with the frangible plug member when unbroken preventing flow through the vent port and the plug member when broken permitting flow through the vent port. A vent tab member is coupled to the frangible member with the vent tab member extending from the frangible member accessible on the exterior of the bottle cap member for engagement to apply forces to the vent tab that are translated to the frangible vent member to break the frangible member.

The present invention provides an improved pump assembly incorporating a liquid pump and an air pump and which pump includes a flexible annular diaphragm member coaxially about a piston-forming element forming a component with the liquid pump.

A valvular conduit, preferably a Tesla valvular conduit, in which a plug member is coaxially received within a bore in a sleeve member and in which passageways are defined between the plug member and the sleeve member within interior walls configured to permit mixing of fluid flowing through the passageways in at least one direction, preferably, the relatively free passage of fluid through the passageways upstream but increased the resistance to downstream flow of the fluid through each passageway.

A delivery tube and cap are configured to be connected to a container that houses fluid to be delivered to a nasal cavity. The delivery tube includes an inner cannula that is positioned within an outer cannula. Each of the cannulas includes a first outlet with one or more openings aligned along a first lateral section and a second outlet with one or more openings aligned along a second lateral section. The delivery tube and cap are configured to provide relative axial movement between the cannulas. The cannulas are positionable between a first axial position that aligns the first outlets along the first lateral section of the delivery tube to deliver the fluid out of the device in a first lateral direction, and a second axial position that aligns the second outlets along the second lateral section to deliver fluid out of the device in a second lateral direction.

A trigger type sprayer capable of easily performing air vent in a space between a second valve and a first valve, and preventing leakage of liquid in use is provided. The present invention includes a body 11 having a first flow channel 11a through which liquid can flow, a second flow channel 11d communicating with the first flow channel 11a, and a cylindrical cylinder chamber 11b communicating with the second flow channel 11d; a hollow piston 13 slidably incorporated into the cylinder chamber 11b, having a valve seat 13b and a hollow portion 13d of a second valve 14, and sliding back and forth according to operation of a trigger 12; the second valve 14 incorporated into the hollow portion 13d of the hollow piston 13 and positioned at a downstream side; and a first valve 15 incorporated into the cylinder chamber 11b and positioned at an upstream side, wherein the first valve 15 is pressed by the second valve 14 so that the first valve 15 is opened.
