An actuator includes a nozzle; a valve; and a trigger operatively connected with the valve, wherein the trigger comprises an elastomeric material, wherein the trigger is configured to reciprocate from a forward position to a rearward position and back to a forward position upon actuation, wherein upon actuation from a forward position to a rearward position the trigger comprises a changing moment arm.

An auto-open compact container has an outer container having a button formed on one side thereof, an outer container lid hinge-coupled to one side of the outer container to be opened/closed, and an inner container which is mounted inside the outer container. An air inlet protrusion is formed in the button such that external air is introduced into the inner container simultaneously while the button is pressed to open the outer container lid. Therefore, an inside of the inner container, which is sealed and evacuated, communicates with the outside, thereby making an operation of pressing the discharge plate smooth.

A pump and a dispensing device with a pump for dispensing a preferably liquid product are proposed, wherein the pump comprises a spring sleeve for a spring, which separates the spring from the product, and/or wherein the pump comprises a sealed spring chamber for a spring.

To implement a complex math function, i.e. a math function with multiple input variables, a configurable computing array comprises at least an array of configurable computing elements. Each configurable computing element comprises at least a memory which stores a look-up table (LUT) for a math function with a single input variable.

A hand-held spray gun used for discharging high pressure fluid from a fluid source through a spray wand so as to direct the pressurized fluid in a desired direction. The spray gun has a connector for connection to a hose from the fluid source, which connector can rotate 360 perpendicular to the direction of flow, but the spray wand connected at the discharge end of the spray gun does not rotate.

In a dispenser for dosing of at least one component received in a receiving compartment, a valve device, forming an inlet valve and an outlet valve associated with an outlet opening, is formed of at least two valve elements.

A liquid dispensing product having: a lockable spray dispenser and a liquid composition, the spray dispenser configured to spray the composition. The spray dispenser having a shroud housing a pump, the shroud having a shroud top surface; a rotatable nozzle cover housing a discharge nozzle, the discharge nozzle in fluid communication with the pump; a trigger operatively engaged with the pump, the trigger having a trigger front surface facing away from the shroud and an opposing trigger back surface and a pair of opposing trigger lateral edges; a projection extending outwardly from the nozzle cover; and a projection engaging surface on the trigger back surface. The projection is rotatably engageable with the projection engaging surface. The entirety of the projection is below the shroud top surface, behind the trigger back surface, and between the trigger lateral edges when the projection is engaged with the projection engaging surface and when the projection is disengaged with said projection engaging surface. The liquid composition having from about 5% to about 15%, by weight of the composition, of a surfactant system.

Discharge head for a liquid dispenser including a housing, a coupling device for attachment to a liquid store, a discharge opening through which liquid is dispensed and an outlet channel extending from an inlet region, pointing in the direction of the liquid store, up to the discharge opening and via which the discharge opening is supplied with liquid. A throttle device is arranged in the outlet channel and includes a throttle channel for reducing liquid pressure and/or liquid flow through the throttle device. The throttle device is designed in the form of a dynamic throttle device, in which a free cross section of the throttle channel is reduced in size with increasing pressure prevailing at the throttle device, or with greater liquid flow flowing through the throttle device.

Dispenser systems, dispensers, and repositories can add a fragrance to an unscented liquid beauty preparation. The dispenser system includes a dispenser having a cavity for retaining at least a first liquid, and a repository configured for removably attaching to the dispenser, the repository having a reservoir for retaining at least a second liquid. The dispenser is coupled with a pump assembly including at least one pump for drawing the at least a first liquid and the at least a second liquid into a mixing chamber. The mixing chamber is coupled with an actuator in such a manner that when the actuator is pressed down by an external force, the mixing chamber communicates with the pump to suction the first and second liquids into the mixing chamber to form a liquid mixture for dispensing through a nozzle.

The present invention provides a manually-operated spray pump for discharging a predetermined amount of content by downwardly pressing a manually-operated button having a nozzle, and sealing the content therein by blocking a passage of the nozzle after discharge, wherein the manually-operated button comprises: a button main body coupled to a pump main body so as to communicate with a flow passage of the pump main body, and having an opening, which communicates with the flow passage so as to lead to the outside, formed on the outer surface at one side thereof; an elastic opening-and-closing member mounted on the flow passage of the opening, and opening the opening only when the content is discharged and closing the opening before and after discharge; and a cap member for mounting the elastic opening-and-closing member in position in the opening of the button main body.
