A dispensing closure is provided and comprises a base and a lid. The base comprises a dispensing spout defining a dispensing orifice and a self-closing valve is provided to control fluid flow out of the orifice in use. The lid comprises a spout sealing arrangement including an external seal for sealing against an outer face of the spout and an internal seal for sealing against an inner face of the spout.

An end piece (10) for dispensing a fluid product, having a dispensing orifice (16) that opens out at an application face (18) and having a movable cover (30) that is able to cover the dispensing orifice (16) and the application face (18), the cover (30) having a wall (48) intended to be facing to the application face (18) when the cover (30) is in a closed position, characterized in that the cover (30) has a layer (50) of bactericidal and/or bacteriostatic material which is affixed to the wall (48) of the cover (30) and which is in contact with the application face (18) when the cover (30) is in the closed position.

Flow restrictors for use with a syringe or without a syringe are disclosed for dispensing a liquid medicine for an infant or child. The flow restrictors include a cover having a raised ring, a sleeve for insertion into a bottle, a self-sealing orifice for dispensing the medicine and including an annular cylinder having vertical supports or ribs which extend outward and engage the inside wall of the sleeve. The sleeve includes one or more external protrusions.

The present invention is a fluid dispensing apparatus, and method of use, e.g. for mouthwash and medicine, for dispensing a sterile liquid in single doses to prevent bacterial growth from un-used portions pored back into the apparatus. The apparatus has a hollow flexible cap enclosure surrounding a one-way valve inside of a bladder and a push rubber surface for liquid release. When the cap is removed, both the container body and the cap remain sealed from exposure to contaminates. Liquid is first dispensed from the container by inverting the container until a quantity of sterile liquid collects in the cap. The container is then positioned in an upright position and the fluid filled cap is removed from the container. The cap is then inverted again and a pushbutton pressed to dispense sterile liquid from a cap spray nozzle without requiring the user's lips to touch the cap.

Convenience of an ink bottle and a bottle set is improved. An ink bottle includes: a container portion that contains ink; a guiding portion that is formed in one end portion of the container portion, and includes an outflow port from which the ink in the container portion flow out; and a cover that covers at least an end portion of the container portion on the opposite side of the guiding portion.

A bi-injection moulded self-closing valve assembly is described. The assembly comprises a valve overmoulded on an insert. The overmoulded valve is injected using side gating of the mould.

Bite-actuated mouthpieces and drink vessels including bite-actuated mouthpieces are disclosed. Bite-actuated mouthpieces comprise a body comprising a dispensing wall, one or more sidewalls extending from the dispensing wall that with the dispensing wall define an internal volume, and an inlet to the internal volume. The self-sealing exit is biased toward a closed configuration and is configured to be selectively reconfigured from the closed configuration to an open configuration responsive to user-applied compressive forces to opposing bite regions. The dispensing wall has a dispensing face opposite the internal volume, and in some examples, the dispensing face is concave.

A fixed quantity discharge device for a liquid container is provided. The device includes a container main body in which contents are accommodated, a pipette part including a pipette tube to suction and discharge the contents accommodated in the container main body, and a support disposed in an upper portion of the container main body and including a coupling part formed in an upper end portion thereof to be coupled to the pipette part, a tube accommodation part extending from the coupling part to an interior of the container main body such that the pipette tube is inserted into or withdrawn from the tube accommodation part, and a contents inflow hole formed in a lower end portion thereof to communicate with the interior of the container main body, wherein, when the pipette part is separated from the support, the contents accommodated in the container main body may be suctioned into the pipette tube.

A spray cap for a spray container includes a tubular wall for connection to the spring container, a cap plate in which a plurality of spray slits is formed and a valve to admit air into the space defined by the wall but which prevents the outflow of liquid from the space to the exterior. The cap plate includes a support plate of polymeric material in which an aperture is formed. An insert of more resilient polymeric material is retained in the aperture and forms a liquid-tight seal with the support plate. The spray slits are formed in the insert. The support plate and the insert define a liquid flow path between the space and the spray slits and include respective opposed annular sealing areas which are situated upstream of the spray slits and are biased into contact with one another by the resilience of the insert. When the spray cap is inverted and an increased pressure is produced in the space the pressure acts on the insert and the insert is thereby caused to deform such that the sealing areas move out of sealing contact and liquid can flow to the spray slits.

A portable sanitizer dispenser for use with a cellular phone includes a hand sanitizer dispenser configured to releasably engage at least one surface of a cellular phone. The sanitizer dispenser includes a compressible cavity defined therein configured to retain a sanitizer therein. The sanitizer dispenser further includes a nozzle disposed on an outer surface thereof. The nozzle is in fluid communication with the compressible cavity such that when pressure is applied to the compressible cavity, sanitizer is expelled from the nozzle.
