Provided is a fluid container including: a container main body, of which one side is open, configured to store a fluid; a housing having an outlet provided at one side and in which the container main body slides in a longitudinal direction; and a pump module coupled to the open one side of the container main body and configured to discharge the fluid to the outlet by sliding the container main body.

A fluid dispenser having a casing (E) provided with a dispenser head (11); and a refill cartridge (C) that includes a fluid reservoir (R). The refill cartridge (C) is axially insertable into the casing (E) in such a manner as to connect the fluid reservoir (R) to the dispenser head (11). The refill cartridge (C) and the casing (E) are provided with a connection mechanism (17, 253) that connects the refill cartridge (C) in the casing (E) by screw-fastening, so as to bring the fluid reservoir (R) into leaktight contact with the dispenser head (11). The movement, after screw-fastening, of the refill cartridge (C) in the casing (E) towards the dispenser head (11) delivers the fluid to the dispenser head (11).

The invention relates to the field of inhalation devices for liquids. In particular, the invention relates to an inhalation device having improved flow characteristics. A inhalation device for medically active liquids (F) for generation of an aerosol comprises a housing (1), inside this housing (1) a reservoir (2) for storing a liquid (F), a pumping device with a hollow cylinder (9) providing a pumping chamber (3) for the generation of a pressure inside said pumping chamber (3), wherein the pumping chamber is fluidically connected with the reservoir (2) via an inlet check valve (4) which blocks in direction of the reservoir (2), a riser pipe (5) which can be received with at least one reservoir-facing, interior end (5A) in said hollow cylinder (9), and a nozzle (6) which is connected liquid-tight to an exterior end (5B) of the riser pipe (5), wherein the volume of the pumping chamber (3) is changeable by means of relative motion of the cylinder (9) to the riser pipe (5), and is characterised in that the riser pipe (5) is immobile and firmly attached to the housing (1) and to the nozzle (6), whereas the hollow cylinder (9) is moveable relative to the housing (1) and to the nozzle (6). The invention also discloses a method for the generation of an aerosol of a medically active liquid (F) by means of an inhalation device.

Dispenser systems including a plurality of containers and an applicator. The plurality of containers are supported together to define a container set. Each container in the plurality of containers includes a dispenser configured to dispense contents within the container. The applicator is operatively coupled to the container set and configured to apply contents from the containers to a target surface. In some examples, the dispenser system includes a cap. In certain examples, the dispenser system includes a cleaning system.

A manually operated pump including: an inlet one-way valve; a pump chamber downstream of and in fluid communication with the inlet one-way valve; a piston interior to the pump chamber and slideably engaged with the pump chamber; an actuator engaged with the piston or the pump chamber; a block thermoplastic elastomeric spring engaged with the actuator to move the actuator as the block thermoplastic elastomeric spring relaxes; and an optional outlet one-way valve downstream of and in fluid communication with the pump chamber.

A replenishable dispenser for dispensing a liquid product. The replenishable dispenser comprises a housing, a canister for storing the liquid product, a triggering unit, an application member and a suction assembly for dispensing the liquid product from the canister to the application member upon being actuated by the triggering unit. The canister is detachably connected to the housing to replace the canister upon being exhausted with a new canister to replenish the dispenser. The dispenser further includes an applicator tip detachably connected to a holding unit of the application member.

The invention relates to the field of inhalation devices for liquids. In particular, the invention relates to an inhalation device for delivering a nebulised medically active aerosol for inhalation therapy comprising a pumping unit, said pumping unit comprising a riser pipe (2), a hollow cylindrical part (3) having an interior space configured to receive an upstream end portion (21) of said riser pipe (2), said cylindrical part (3) being moveable on the riser pipe (2), wherein the cylindrical part and the riser pipe form a pumping chamber having a variable volume, wherein a gap (4) is present between a lateral outside surface (22) of the upstream end portion (21) of said riser pipe (2) and a lateral internal surface (31) of said cylindrical part (3), wherein a seal (1) is present between the outside surface (22) of said riser pipe (2) and the internal surface (31) of said cylindrical part (3), thus physically bridging said gap (4), and wherein the seal (1) has a cap-like shape configured to fit around the upstream end portion (21) of the riser pipe (2), having at least one opening (11) for providing a fluid connection between an interior space of said riser pipe (2) and said pumping chamber, and wherein at an interior surface (14) of the seal (1), at least one interior protrusion (16) is present which is configured to be received by at least one respective recess (23) of the riser pipe (2).

A robust and ergonomic fluid dispenser (1) suitable for dispensing cosmetic compositions and comprising a cylindrical outer body, an upper section having a domed applicator surface, a cylindrical lower section that forms a protective cover for a refill cartridge (13), a rotatable actuator collar (4), an axially mobile pump housing (6) carrying a pump engine inside, the rotatable actuator collar (4) and axially mobile pump housing (6) interacting by means of a cam track on one and a cam follower on the other, the pump housing (6) being reversibly attached to the refill cartridge (13), the cam follower (7) on the pump housing (6) rising on rotation of the actuator collar (4) in a first direction and thereby lifting the pump housing (6) and the refill cartridge (13) to a raised position and actuating the pump engine, the cam follower (7) on the pump housing (6) falling on rotation of the actuator collar (4) in a second direction to a rest position and thereby lowering the pump housing (6) and the refill cartridge (13).
