Device for receiving and dispensing a fluid
The invention relates to a device (1) for receiving or dispensing a fluid (39), preferably containing a pharmaceutical, comprising a container that can be collapsed at least in some regions and a closure piece (2). The closure piece (2) comprises a dispensing channel (18) that fluidically connects a dispensing opening (2.1) to a removal opening (21), wherein a dispensing section (18.1) of the dispensing channel (18) communicates with the dispensing opening (2.1) and a removal section (18.2) of the dispensing channel (18) communicates with the removal opening (21). The dispensing channel (18) comprises a valve device (23) having two valve openings (22, 25), which are arranged next to one another on a valve surface (6.1). A first valve opening (25) of said valve device communicates with the dispensing opening (2.1) via the dispensing section (18.1) of the dispensing channel (18) and a second valve opening (22) communicates with the removal opening (21) via the removal section (18.2) of the dispensing channel (18), wherein a continuous flexible diaphragm (27) is provided, which in a closed position of the valve device (23) is seated against of the valve surface (6.1) and can be lifted in some regions and thus seals the valve openings (22, 25) with respect to one another in a fluid-tight manner.
REFILLABLE DEODORANT DISPENSER SYSTEM, METHOD, AND KIT
A refillable dispenser system, method, and kit are provided. The kit includes a refillable dispenser that includes an applicator, and a body defining a first reservoir in fluid communication with the applicator. The body includes a first end coupled with the applicator, and a second end, opposite to the first end, defining an orifice that is in fluid communication with the first reservoir. The refillable dispenser also includes a closure member coupled with the body, the closure member being operable between a closed position and an open position. In the closed position, the closure member cooperates with the body to substantially prevent fluid from escaping from the reservoir via the orifice. In the open position, the closure member is positioned with respect to the body to allow access to the orifice. The one or more refill cartridges include an opening and define a second reservoir in communication with the opening.
CONTAINER AND VALVE ASSEMBLY FOR STORING AND DISPENSING SUBSTANCES, AND RELATED METHOD
A device and method for aseptically storing and dispensing a liquid. The device has container forming a variable-volume storage chamber, and a one-way valve coupled in fluid communication with the storage chamber and having an elastic valve member forming a normally closed valve opening. The valve member is movable between a normally closed position, and an open position with at least a segment of the elastic valve member spaced radially away from the closed position to allow the passage of fluid from the storage chamber through the valve opening. The liquid is maintained hermetically sealed in the storage chamber with respect to ambient atmosphere throughout dispensing multiple portions of the liquid from the storage chamber through the one-way valve.
