A liquid-liquid mixing device (10, 210) includes a barrel (20, 220) with a liquid port (23) at or adjacent one end. A plunger assembly (30) is reciprocably moveable along an axis in the barrel (20, 220) and includes a seal member (31, 231) and an agitator (50, 250). The seal member (31, 231) is in sealingly slidable engagement with the internal wall of the barrel (20, 220) to define a variable volume chamber (24, 224) therein in communication with the liquid port. The agitator (50, 250) is reciprocably moveable in the variable volume chamber (24, 224), which agitator (50, 250) includes one or more end to end passages (54) through which liquid in the chamber (24, 224) is forced as the agitator (250) reciprocates in the chamber (24, 224). The device (10) also includes a mode selector mechanism (60, 28, 46, 64, 65, 90, 92, 94, 96) for selection between at least two modes of operation for the plunger assembly, wherein the mode selector mechanism (60, 28, 46, 64, 65, 90, 92, 94, 96) is adjustable between two or more modes whereby movement of the plunger assembly (30) effects either movement of the agitator (50, 250) with the seal member (31, 231) or movement of the agitator (50, 250) relative to the seal member (31, 231), depending on the selected mode.

Device (10) for packaging two products (A, B) separately and dispensing a resulting mixture (M) on a first use, comprising a lower container (12) delimiting a first product cavity (22) containing a first product (A) and an upper container (14) delimiting a second product cavity (24c) containing a second product (B), and being capable of rotating relative to the lower container (12) without moving axially, and a temporary closing member (30) configured to close an opened end (24b) of the upper container (14) before the first use, and comprising a cylindrical skirt (32) surrounding said opened end (24b) and a plug (34) connected to said cylindrical skirt (32), said cylindrical skirt (32) being designed to cooperate by thread engagement with the upper container (14) and being prevented from rotating relative to the lower container (12). The closing member (30) is deprived from any axially retaining members with both containers (12, 14), such that when the upper container (14) is rotated in a first rotation direction (F1), the closing member translates downwardly until falling into the first product cavity (22).

A device for mixing liquid material which a user shakes by hand up and down or left and right is provided. The device includes: a container that includes a space on an inner side extending in the longitudinal direction, and a grip shape on an outer side of the container; an opening-closing member; and a coil spring which has a constant winding diameter and moves freely inside the container in the longitudinal direction. Liquid material and the coil spring are contained in the container, the liquid material being obtained by mixing a material to be dispersed and liquid.

The device includes: a coil spring abutting part that abuts against and supports 80% of a planar spread formed by one winding of an end of the coil spring relative to the one winding; a first vertical wall and a second vertical wall which are two vertical walls which are perpendicular to the coil spring abutting part and also perpendicular to the coil constituting the coil spring, and are provided at limiting positions where the coil spring of the coil spring abutting part abuts; and a cylindrical wall that extends vertically opposite to the coil spring of the coil spring abutting part, and has an inner diameter set to be the outer diameter of the coil spring, wherein the first vertical wall and the second vertical wall each have two holes through which a coil constituting the coil spring can pass arranged side by side in a direction in which the coil spring extends.

A discrete dispensed product with a first portion and a second portion at least partially surrounding the first portion. The product provides a premium and distinct appearance to consumers.

The present invention relates to a system (1) for applying at least two kinds of liquid onto respective targeted areas of a substrate (S). The system (1) includes first and second storage unit (10a, 10b) that accommodate first and second liquids (F.sub.1, F.sub.2); a pressured gas supply unit (20) that is fluidly connected to the first and second storage unit (10a, 10b); first and second applicator (30a, 30b) that are fluidly connected to the first and second storage unit (10a, 10b); and a controller (40) that is operatively connected to the applicator (30a, 30b). The pressured gas supply unit (20) causes pressure of a pressured gas to act on the liquids (F.sub.1, F.sub.2) within the storage unit (10a, 10b). The first and second applicator (30a, 30b) each include at least one nozzle (300a, 300b) disposed so as to face the substrate (S). The first and second applicator (30a, 30b) spray the first and second liquids (F.sub.1, F.sub.2) within the first and second storage unit (10a, 10b) from the nozzles (300a, 300b) toward the substrate (S) by the action of the pressured gas from the pressured gas supply unit (20). The controller (40) individually controls the first and second applicator (30a, 30b) so that the first applicator (30a) sprays the first liquid (F.sub.1) toward a targeted area for the first liquid (F.sub.1) on the substrate (S) and the second applicator (30b) sprays the second liquid (F.sub.2) toward a targeted area for the second liquid (F.sub.2) on the substrate (S). The present invention also relates to a method for applying at least two kinds of liquid onto respective targeted areas of a substrate (S).
