The invention relates to a closure device comprising a closure wall having a communication conduit passing through it and intended to close the opening of a container of a product and a stopper movable in the duct. The stopper comprises a cavity open on one side of the wall, closed by a bottom and comprising at least one lateral opening. In the closed position, this bottom closes the conduit, and in the open position, the side opening(s) and said bottom exit the conduit, the conduit thus being open in fluid communication through the stopper. The invention also relates to a product refill comprising a container closed by this closure device. It also relates to a dispensing device comprising this refill and a dispensing head.

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 system for accurately dispensing small droplets from a positive displacement pumps is actuated by a linear actuator. Preferably the linear actuator is a piezo-actuator. In a method to use the device the system pressure is stabilized before dispensing a plurality of droplets.

A fluid pump includes a pump body having a pump inlet and a pump outlet, and a spring valve combination provided within the pump body. The spring valve combination includes a spring body having a first end portion, a second end portion and a spring section therebetween, which spring section is compressible in an axial direction from an initial condition to a compressed condition and is subsequently expandable to its initial condition; a first valve element provided at the first end portion of the spring body; and a second valve element provided at the second end portion of the spring body, wherein the spring body and the first and second valve elements are integrally formed. The first and second valve elements interact with an interior of the pump body to define a one-way inlet valve and a one-way outlet valve, respectively.

A pump for dispensing a fluid product from a product container, includes a unitary pump body defining an axis and including a pump chamber, a pump inlet and a pump outlet. The pump chamber is collapsible over an axially directed pumping stroke from an initial condition to a collapsed condition and is biased to return to its initial condition in a return stroke. An axially compressible spring is arranged to at least partially support the pump body during its collapse.

A dispenser head (10) of a trigger dispenser device includes a self-bearing pre-compression valve (80), made of polypropylene, capable of per se retaining in a stable manner to the head frame (14).

A valve assembly with a valve member coaxially received within a valve casing and interacts with the casing to provide a one-way inlet valve at one end of the valve casing and a one-way outlet valve at the other end of the casing with an annular compartment therebetween adapted to be coupled to a variable volume compartment and thereby together provide a simplified construction for valving components of a fluid pump.

A pump for dispensing a fluid product, able to be mounted on a container of the flexible tube or rigid flask type, includes a variable-volume metering chamber at least partly defined by a membrane deformable between an initial state in which the volume of the metering chamber is maximum and a deformed state in which the volume of the metering chamber is minimum. The pump also includes a valve for admitting the fluid product to the metering chamber. The pump further includes a valve for discharging the fluid product from the metering chamber. Finally, the pump includes means for opening and closing the admission and discharge valves. Notably, the pump consists of a single molded piece.

The invention relates to a dosing device designed to equip a container including a deformable reservoir containing a product. The device includes an insert that includes a dosing chamber that can be deformed by pressure from the product coming from the reservoir. The dosing chamber includes a top valve for the intake of the product from the reservoir, a bottom valve dispensing the product, and a deformable body connecting the top valve and the bottom valve. The dosing chamber is configured such that, under pressure from the product coming from the reservoir, the top valve is closed by the deformation of a first portion of the chamber, the bottom valve remaining closed, whereupon, the bottom valve opens under the effect of the deformation of the body.

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, the 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 the 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.
