A plunger pump, comprising: a liquid tank; a pump body including a liquid storage part, a suction passage configured to allow communication between the liquid storage part and the liquid tank and a discharge passage configured to discharge a liquid in the liquid storage part to outside; and a plunger reciprocally movably supported in the pump body so that a tip reaches the liquid storage part. The suction passage includes a first suction passage, the tip of the plunger being reciprocally slidably inserted into the first suction passage, and a second suction passage provided in parallel to the first suction passage, and a check valve configured to allow only a flow of the liquid from the liquid tank to the liquid storage space is disposed in the second suction passage.

The invention concerns a device (1) for dispensing a fluid (L), comprising a supporting structure (2) provided with means (3) for coupling it with a container (C) holding the fluid (L) and comprising: an outlet duct (63) for the fluid (L); a collapsible chamber (60); first valve means (25) suited to control the passage of the fluid; air refilling valve means. The air refilling valve means comprise a flexible portion (15) of an edge (14) belonging to a first element (10) of the device (1), suited to assume a closed position and an open position. The invention concerns also a system comprising a container and a device made as described above.

Various implementations of the invention are directed toward a sanitizing door handle and/or components of such sanitizing door handle. Some implementations of the invention are directed toward a manual sanitizing door handle while some implementations of the invention are directed toward an auto-sanitizing door handle. According to some implementations of the invention, a sanitizing fluid is dispensed directly onto an exterior surface of the sanitizing door handle in connection with an operation of the door handle to sanitize the door handle. According to some implementations of the invention, a sanitizing fluid is dispensed directly onto a user's hand(s) in connection with an operation of the door handle to sanitize the user's hand(s).

An oral hydration system, which includes a fluid reservoir; a supply tube fluidly coupled to the reservoir at its distal end; and a mouthpiece pump molded as a single piece utilizing one pliable material and deformable along its entire length, wherein the mouthpiece pump is fluidly coupled at its distal end to a proximal end of the supply tube, wherein the mouthpiece pump or the supply tube comprises a one-way distal valve and the mouthpiece pump is sealed proximally with a proximal face in a form of a mouthpiece containing a proximal valve that seals until the pump is deformed by a user for the purpose of creating a priming and pumping action to draw fluid from the reservoir, through the supply tube and out of the mouthpiece pump to the user.

A fluid dispensing device having a flexible fluid pouch and a dispensing assembly, the dispensing assembly having a top piece and a bottom piece, the top piece having a flexible actuator including a flexible dome and a flexible flange extension, the bottom piece having a bottom portion of a pump chamber, a pump chamber inlet, a chamber inlet valve, and a bottom portion of an outlet valve, the top piece and the bottom piece mated together to form a pump chamber and an outlet valve, said device configured to allow bidirectional fluid flow through either or both inlet and outlet valves, and to dispense a volume of fluid that is less than the volume of said pump chamber. The flexible pouch may have a single opening or two openings. In the case of a single opening, the entire dispensing assembly is in the interior of the pouch. In the case of two openings, only the flexible dome extends to the exterior of the pouch. The outlet valve is configured so that the more pressure that is applied to the flexible fluid pouch, the more tightly the outlet valve seals.

A device for dispensing a fluid, including a pocket whose interior volume is delimited by a deformable wall; a pressing surface; a dispensing part including a dispensing cavity; an outlet; a dispensing orifice connecting the pocket to the dispensing cavity; and a dispensing valve located in the dispensing cavity.
