The present invention provides a flow control assembly for a cup, comprising: a flow regulator located inside the cup, configured to cooperate with an outlet pipe of the cup, wherein the flow regulator is movable relative to the outlet pipe, and water quantity corresponding to the outlet pipe can be adjusted by changing relative position of the flow regulator and the outlet pipe; and a handle connected with the flow regulator, wherein the handle comprises a gripping portion located outside a cover of the cup and a shaft connected at one end with the gripping portion and at the other end with the flow regulator, and wherein the gripping portion is configured to control movement of the flow regulator via the shaft under external force. By providing a handle on the cover, the quantity of water at the water outlet can be easily adjusted without opening the cup body.

A device for dispensing drops of a liquid or semi-liquid product is provided having an axial tube (12) which has an elastically deformable outer jacket defining an internal space (16) enclosing the product and a neck (14) which defines an open internal passage for the passage of the product. A system for generating drops has an elastic deformable piece (22) mounted inside the neck of the tube around a rigid member (24). The elastically deformable piece has an opening end part (30b) situated outside of the neck and through which the product can exit from the system in case of pressure on the outer jacket. The opening end part (30b) is deformed into a first position when it is mounted to bear on an opening end (36) of the rigid member when no pressure is exerted on the jacket of the tube.

A tap lock has an engagement member, a barrier member, and a retainer member that extends between the engagement member and the barrier member and that retains the engagement member at a fixed position relative to the barrier member. The engagement member removably attaches to a support structure of a tap dispensing closure of a container body. The barrier member is disposed proximate an outlet passage and valve member of the tap dispensing closure. The barrier member limits movement of the valve member from a closed position toward an open position to prevent leakage of material from the outlet passage.

The content exhaust pump is provided which includes a pump body fastened to a container, a cylinder as a cylindrical member having opened upper and lower portions of which an outer flange is screw-coupled to an inner circumferential surface of the pump body, and a elevating device which ascends and descends on the inner circumferential surface of the cylinder by a pushing operation of a push button, in which in a lower cylinder having an inner diameter smaller than that of the cylinder at the lower portion of the cylinder, a cylindrical fixing member having a projection formed on the upper outer circumferential surface, and a dome-shaped valve suspended and fixed to the projection of the cylindrical fixing member is provided, and the dome-shaped valve is a dome-shaped flexible member of which the lower portion is opened and the upper portion is convexly projected thereof.

A dispensing closure for dispensing fluid product from a squeeze container consists of an outer cap element (3) and an inner element or valve disc (4) fitting inside the cap element. Each is moulded from thermoplastics; no elastomer is used. The cap element includes an outwardly-deflectable diaphragm wall (35) around a central outlet opening (361). The inner element (4) has a peripheral mounting ring (41), a central blocking portion (48) and a set of support spokes (46) providing flow clearance between them. In a closed position the blocking portion closes the outlet opening. In an outflow condition the diaphragm wall (35) deflects outwardly to allow flow. In a recovery mode the blocking portion (48) deflects inwardly for compensation air or residual liquid product to enter the container.

A dispensing closure for dispensing liquid, comprising an outer nozzle component (6) defining a nozzle opening (66) and a valve assembly (7) disposed in the closure upstream of the nozzle opening, the valve assembly comprising an outer valve element (3) and a generally rigid intermediate valve seat element (4) disposed inwardly of the outer valve element, the outer valve element comprising an outer valve flap (38) and the intermediate valve element (4) defining an outflow opening (451) bordered by an outer seat region (411, 471), the outer valve flap (38) being movable between a closed position, in which it overlaps the outer seat region of the intermediate valve element to close the outflow opening (451) against inflow therethrough, and an open position, in which it is deflected away from the outer seat region (411, 471) to open the outflow opening for outflow.

A dispensing closure for a squeeze bottle comprises an outer element, an intermediate element and an inner element. The outer element (3) comprises an outwardly-deflectable diaphragm (35) surrounding an outlet opening (36). The intermediate element (5) comprises an annular seat (57) underlying the outlet opening (36) of the outer element and support structure (56) for the annular seat, with an inflow opening (552) through the annular seat (57) and an outflow opening (551) through the intermediate element around the annular seat (57). The inner element comprises a blocking portion (48; 148) and support structure (46; 146) mounting the blocking portion in the closure aligned with the annular seat. The diaphragm has an inward closed position in which the annular seat of the intermediate element engages around the outlet opening to block flow, and an outwardly-deflected position in which it allows outflow through the outflow opening and outlet opening. The blocking portion of the inner element has a closed position in which it blocks the inflow opening (552) through the annular seat, and an inwardly-deflected position to allow inflow such as venting or suck-back.

The device makes it possible to dispense predetermined metered quantities of liquid. It includes a sealing member that can take up a liquid release position, allowing liquid to flow out of the device, and a non-return position preventing liquid from flowing back into the device. The sealing member is provided with metering means for metering out the liquid to be dispensed.

A drinking bottle includes a first bottle part (10) having an interior (100) for receiving a beverage (G) and a second bottle part (11) having an interior (110) for receiving the beverage (G) and having a bottle opening (13) for dispensing the beverage (G) from the interior (110), wherein the interiors (100, 110) of the two bottle parts (10, 11) are or can be brought into fluid communication with each other. The drinking bottle (1A-1D) has at least one configuration in which the two bottle parts (10, 11) are inclined to each other. The invention also relates to a valve for a drinking bottle. In this way, a drinking bottle can be provided which allows a user to drink in a particularly comfortable position.
