In exemplary embodiments of the present invention, Flairosol dispensing devices can be provided. Such devices utilize a combination of Flair technology, pre-compression valves and aerosol-like pressurization of the dispensed liquid. Such a dispensing device has, for example, a main body comprising a pressure chamber, the latter being provided with a pressure piston and a pressure spring. The device further has a piston and a piston chamber which draws liquid from a container, for example, the inner container of a Flair bottle, and fills the pressure chamber with that liquid as a user operates a trigger in various compression and release strokes. The piston chamber has both an inlet valve and an outlet valve, which serve to prevent backflow. Liquid exiting the piston chamber under pressure (supplied by a user pumping the trigger) enters a central vertical channel which is in fluid communication with both the pressure chamber (above the pressure piston) and a dome valve provided near the outlet channel at the top of the dispensing head. The dome valve has a preset pressure, such that once exceeded by the liquid, opens and allows for a spray. If the liquid pressure drops below such preset pressure, the dome valve closes off the outlet channel, which serves to regulate the strength of the flow and preclude leakage. Alternatively, in an activated embodiment, for example, once the liquid is sufficiently pressurized, it can be dispensed by a user allowing the dome valve to open by pressing on an activation button that removes a dome lock.

A dispensing system includes a motor driven air pump having an air inlet and an air outlet, and a dispensing device. The dispensing device is releasably connected to the air pump. The dispensing device includes an air connector connected to the air outlet of the pump, a mixture outlet, a product inlet, and a product uptake system connected to the air connector, the mixture outlet, and the product inlet. The dispensing system includes a product container for a product to be dispensed. The product container is connected to the product inlet. The product container is integrated in the dispensing device. The product uptake system may include an ejector for sucking product from the container and/or a container air inlet for pressurizing the container.

In exemplary embodiments of the present invention, Flair based aerosol-type devices can be provided. Such devices utilize a combination of Flair technology, pre-compression valves and aerosol like pressurization of the dispensed liquid. Such a dispensing device has a main body comprising a pressure chamber, the latter being provided with a pressure piston and a pressure spring. The device further has a piston and a piston chamber which draws liquid from a reservoir and fills the pressure chamber with that liquid as a user operates the trigger in various compression and release strokes. The piston chamber has both an inlet valve and an outlet valve. In a dispensing head a valve is provided to regulate the strength of the flow and preclude leakage. Once the liquid is sufficiently pressurized, it can be dispensed by a user opening an activation valve, such as by pressing on an activation button, and spray can be abruptly stopped by a user ceasing to push on such button. Or, for example, in alternate embodiments without an activation button, once the liquid is sufficiently pressurized, continuous spray occurs until the pressure chamber is emptied. By repeatedly pumping the trigger before the pressure chamber is fully emptied, continuous spray can be achieved. By designing the input volume to be amply greater than the volume of the pressure chamber, continuous spray with fewer pumping strokes can be implemented.

A cleaning tool and a system for cleaning an automotive component include the cleaning tool with a portable dispenser configured to receive a both a cleanser and a pressurized gas in a hollow interior section and a flexible conduit interconnecting the portable dispenser with a brush. The brush has a hollow handle with apertures and a porous cleaning portion. The cleanser is a humectant foaming cleanser. A cleanser removing tool is effective to remove dirt, brake dust and grease from the automotive component without a water rinse.

A flexible dispensing apparatus for coupling to pressurized fluid containers is described. it includes a flexible tube and a handle assembly. The handle assembly houses a second end of the tube. The handle assembly has a first side connected to a second side, a slide trigger, a roller coupled to the bottom of the slide trigger with a dowel pin, a spray nozzle assembly, a magnet reservoir, and a magnet. The first side has an inclined ramp that runs along a length of the first side and extends into the second side above and beyond a seam that is formed by the connection of the two sides. The tube is within a channel in the handle assembly formed between the inclined ramp and the roller. When the roller is rolled toward the end of the ramp it pinches the flexible tube near the top of the inclined ramp.

A beverage bottle is pressurizable to permit a liquid in the bottle to be dispensed without the user having to lift or tilt the bottle. A reciprocating piston is mounted within the lid. The user exerts a downward force on the piston to force air into the bottle, pressurizing the contents. A spring returns the piston to its uppermost position. An outlet port connects to a flexible hose with a stopcock at its free end. The beverage in the bottle can be dispensed by opening the stopcock.

A mobile pressure wash system that comprises a mobile fluid storage cabinet comprised of at least one fluid storage tank coupled to an air compressor. The air compressor supplies pressurized air into a pressurized air line. An intertwined hose comprised of a fluid supply line and the pressurized air line. The air line connects to an air gun and the fluid line connects to the air gun. The air gun comprises a syphon tip, and the fluid line connects to the syphon tip to facilitate a pressure differential to syphon fluid from the at least one fluid storage tank to eject fluid under pressure when pressurized air flows through the air gun.

The saliva management system is a device that can be worn at night while sleeping to help alleviate dry mouth syndrome. The device utilizes a wind-up timer to periodically release a burst of water mist directly into the mouth, under the tongue. The water comes from a reservoir located within the housing of the saliva management system. The device comprises teeth clips and a strap to hold it in place. A built-in, finger-operated pump pressurizes the water to force it out of the reservoir via misting nozzles. A valve release is included to allow easier draining and cleaning of the device.

A system includes a nebulizer for nebulizing a fluid from a container and such a container containing a fluid and are proposed. The fluid is a non-newtonian fluid, in form of a suspension or emulsion or a liposomal fluid or a gel. The nebulizer includes a fluid pump for withdrawing the fluid in doses from the container and pressurizing the respective doses for nebulization through nozzle channels having a hydraulic diameter in the range of 3 to 20 microns at an operational pressure of 5 to 250 MPa.
