A dispenser has a body with a storage chamber for storing product. A one-way valve of the dispenser includes a valve seat and flexible valve cover seated on the valve seat and defining a normally-closed seam therebetween forming a fluid-tight seal between the valve cover and valve seat. The flexible valve cover is movable relative to the valve seat to allow the passage of substance through the seam and out of the dispenser.

Apparatuses and techniques are provided for dispensing fluid from a dispenser that includes a flexible membrane having different levels of pliability according to a voltage applied to the flexible membrane. According to some embodiments, a biasing device, such as a spring, is disposed on a first side of the flexible membrane and is configured to apply pressure to the flexible membrane. When a first voltage is applied to the flexible membrane, the flexible membrane becomes sufficiently pliable to enable the spring to flex the flexible membrane, pushing the flexible membrane into a pumping chamber disposed on the opposite side of the flexible membrane relative to the spring. The fluid is stored in the pumping chamber and the flexing of the flexible membrane causes the pumping chamber to compress. Such compression of the pumping chamber forces the pumping chamber to dispense the fluid through a pump outlet.

A dispenser has a body with a variable-volume storage chamber for storing product. A compression chamber is in fluid communication with the storage chamber for receiving substance therefrom. A one-way valve of the dispenser includes valve seat and flexible valve cover seated on the valve seat and defining a normally-closed seam therebetween forming a fluid-tight seal between the valve cover and valve seat. The flexible valve cover is movable relative to the valve seat to allow the passage of substance through the seam and out of the dispenser. A manually-engageable actuator connected to the dispensing portion is movable between first and second positions to dispense substance within the compression chamber out of the dispenser.

A contents dispensing pump is coupled to a container for accommodating the contents therein and dispenses a fixed quantity of the contents through a pumping operation. A push button that is depressed deforms a deformed pressing member, reducing the volume of a temporary reservoir and increasing pressure therein. A valve plate closes a contents outlet and a valve protrusion wheel is widened by the increased pressure such that the contents contained in the temporary reservoir are dispensed through an outlet.

A head (10) of a trigger dispenser device includes a bulb (70) having an elastically deformable casing (72) that includes a vent lip (90), molded in one piece. With the casing (72), the vent lip (90) forms a venting valve.

A pump 1 for dispensing a cosmetic product, having a pump body 10 and a diaphragm 20. The pump body 10 and the diaphragm 20 are rigidly interconnected and together define an interior space 19 in the pump 1. The pump 1 is equipped with an intake valve 222, which is designed to regulate the intake of the cosmetic product into said interior space 19. The pump 115 is equipped with an outlet valve 201, which is designed to regulate the expulsion of the cosmetic product from said interior space 19. The dispensing pump 1 is designed such that the diaphragm 20 being pushed down causes the intake valve 222 to close and the outlet valve 201 to open, and such that the diaphragm 20 being released causes the outlet valve 201 to close and the intake valve 222 to open.

A device for dispensing a fluid includes 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.

The present invention relates to a foundation container including a discharge pump having a short working stroke, the foundation container including an outer container main body (10); an outer container cap (20) coupled to the outer container main body (10) and opened/closed; a container main body (30) coupled inside the outer container main body (10); and a container cap (40) coupled to the upper portion of the container main body (30) and opened/closed, wherein the foundation container comprises a container interruption plate (34) coupled inside the upper portion of the container main body (30), a discharge pump (50) coupled to the center of the container interruption plate (34), and a content diffusion plate (60) coupled to the discharge pump (50); the discharge pump (50) comprises a pump main body (52), a pump upper body (54), a pump inner body (56), a discharge valve (57), and an elastic member (58); and the diffusion plate (60) is configured to extend to the pump upper body (54).

Cosmetic products, comprising a container having a tubular body, the wall of which has a transmission for visible light of from 25 to about 100%, and on the top end of which a dispenser head is attached, the dispenser head being bounded below by a movable trailing piston, and a cosmetic preparation in the interior of the container which preparation comprises an outer flowable water-based gel-type phase having a transmission for light of 700 nm wavelength of from 30 to 100% and/or a viscosity of 1000-10,000 mPas at a temperature of 25 C. and a shear rate of approximately 10, and an inner solid particulate phase which comprises substantially spherical particles having an average diameter of from 0.1 to 10 mm, the volume ratio of the inner particulate phase to the outer aqueous gel ranging from about 20%:80% to 74%:26%.
