An all-polymer reciprocating pump (100) is contemplated. The pump body (160) receives a sliding insert (170) that may be locked in a down position to minimize the extension and profile of the actuator (120) while the pump (100) is not in use (e.g., for purposes of shipping in e-commerce). Projections (171) slide within guides (181) formed on an insert housing (180). Even in this down locked position, minimal compression is applied to the biasing members (130) so as to avoid fatigue, wear, and/or failure of the plastic components.

A reciprocating foamer pump avoids problems encountered when conventional foamer pumps are exposed to freezing temperatures. In particular, the inventive pump provides an extra-secure connection between air and liquid piston members (200,300). Additionally, a tortuous air inlet (210) is provided to the foamer chamber (136) so as to prevent melted liquid from draining and accumulating in the air chamber.

The present invention relates to a pump head for a metering device for a metered dispensing of a fluid. The pump head can thereby be fitted on a storage container, for example a bottle, which is designed for storing the fluid to be dispensed. Pump head and storage vessel together thereby form the metering device according to the invention. The pump head is distinguished by including a passage for air, by means of which air from outside can be transferred into the storage vessel during the pumping process for pressure compensation. The present invention relates in addition to purposes of use for the pump head and the metering device.

A fluid control device includes a piezoelectric pump, an inhaler, and a valve. The piezoelectric pump has a gas suction hole and a gas discharge hole. The inhaler has a container, an inhalation port, and a connection hole. The valve has a first ventilation hole, a second ventilation hole, a third ventilation hole, a first valve housing, a second valve housing, and a valve body. The first ventilation hole of the valve is connected to the connection hole of the inhaler. The second ventilation hole of the valve is connected to the suction hole of the piezoelectric pump. The third ventilation hole of the valve is opened to the atmosphere. The valve body is held between the first valve housing and the second valve housing, and configures a first region and a second region.

A spray orifice structure for which, when spraying liquid contents onto a body part, such as a face, hair, an upper body or a lower body, by using a spray type container, it is possible to provide a user with a differentiated spray performance depending on each body part to be sprayed by manufacturing a spray orifice in consideration of an injection angle to which liquid contents are sprayed.

A dispensing head for a system for dispensing a product, having a body having a well for mounting the head on a tube for the pressurized supply of the product and a recess in communication with the well by means of a dispensing path. The recess being equipped with a nozzle delimiting a dispensing space between the path and a discharge passage formed in the nozzle. The nozzle being equipped with an insert that has a membrane forming, in the space, a communication interface between an upstream part in which the path emerges and a downstream part that supplies the discharge passage. The membrane being reversibly deformable by the product exerting pressure coming from the upstream part, between a resting state in which the size of the interface is minimal and a stressed state in which the size of said interface is increased in order to provide dispensing.

A system for distributing a fluid product which is packaged in a tank, the system comprises a base and a cap which are intended to be mounted on the tank together forming a distribution chamber which has a supply passage for packaged product, the cap having a wall which is provided with a skirt for assembly on the tank and a sleeve which is arranged around a nozzle of the base forming between the sleeve and the nozzle a distribution interface which opens in a distribution hole formed in the wall, the wall being reversibly deformable by the pressure of the product in the distribution chamber from a stable closed state of the interface in which the sleeve is arranged in sealed contact around the nozzle towards a deformed opening state of the interface in which the sealed contact is broken in order to allow the distribution of the product contained in the distribution chamber through the distribution hole.

Accessories are provided including jewelry and apparel. In particular, a fabric accessory for at least a neck region of a user includes a textile element configured to at least partially cover the neck region of the user, the textile element having a first width at a first height and a second width at a second height, a filter portion disposed within the textile element and configured to receive a filter for filtering respiratory air, and at least one fastener configured to fasten the textile element to a facial region of the user such that the filter portion at least partially covers a mouth and nose region of the user. The fabric accessory may have a variety of configurations including as fashion apparel, for example, a scarf or necktie.

A spray canister dispenser for mounting to a spray canister to allow for more convenient actuation of a nozzle. The spray canister dispenser includes a housing that removably mounts to an upper end of a spray canister. A first channel is disposed on an interior sidewall of the housing and can align with a lip of the spray canister to selectively couple thereto. An actuator assembly having a trigger handle and an actuator extends from a moveable plate secured to the housing and can transition between a dispensing and resting configuration. In the dispensing configuration, the actuator is forced against a spray canister nozzle to dispense substance therefrom. In use, the trigger handle is positioned on a forward side of the spray canister, wherein the housing is on a rearward side of the canister. An aperture is disposed within the trigger handle to allow the substance to be dispensed therethrough.
