A pump including an inlet one-way valve; a pump chamber downstream of and in fluid communication with the inlet one-way valve; a piston slideably engaged with the pump chamber; a piston cavity within the piston and in fluid communication with the pump chamber; a liquid accumulator operable within the piston cavity; an actuator engaged with piston; and an outlet one-way valve downstream of and in fluid communication with the pump chamber.

An easy-to-disassemble pump with a replaceable, ergonomic shroud is contemplated. The pump components snap-fit and allow the user to easy access and clean its interior. Further, the internal components ensure sufficient suction is provided to minimize or avoid entrapment of fluid on exposed portions of the pump.

Described is a dispenser for dispensing a fluid contained in a plastic bottle, including a ring nut having a cylindrical conduit for sucking the fluid; a concertina-like deformable element including side walls defining a dosing chamber; a ring identifying with the ring nut a locking system defining an operating and non-operating configurations; a dispensing head, which can be pressed by a user and having a collection chamber collecting the fluid flowing from the dosing chamber through a central opening of the ring; first and second shutoff elements defining, respectively, a check valve at the inlet and a check valve at the outlet of the dosing chamber; a locking element interfering with at least one between the first and the second shutoff elements to lock it in the fixed position and thereby occlude the suction conduit and/or the central opening in a stable manner at least in a dispensing configuration.

A pump including an inlet one-way valve; a pump chamber downstream of and in fluid communication with the inlet one-way valve; a piston slideably engaged with the pump chamber; a piston cavity within the piston and in fluid communication with the pump chamber; a liquid accumulator operable within the piston cavity; an actuator engaged with piston; and an outlet one-way valve downstream of and in fluid communication with the pump chamber.

A bag-in-bottle type of a squeeze dispenser comprising a housing, a cap, a flexible bag for containing fluid, and means to equilibrate atmospheric air pressure with air pressure inside the housing is disclosed. Said means include a closable air channel. The closable air channel, and the cap, may each be in an open or a closed position. When the cap is in an open position, the closable air channel is in a closed position, thus substantially locking the air inside the housing in place and allowing for fluid to be dispensed from the flexible bag upon application of pressing force on the sidewalls of the housing. When the cap is in a closed position, the closable air channel is in an open position, allowing for a flow of atmospheric air into, and out of, the dispenser housing and thereby equilibrating the air pressure inside the housing with air pressure of the atmospheric air.

A dispenser, which has a pump chamber formed by a body including a depression, and a lid body covering an opening of the body, where a liquid in the pump chamber is discharged from a nozzle portion by performing a discharge operation that presses the lid body to an inside of the pump chamber to deform the lid body, and a liquid is caused to flow into the pump chamber by releasing the discharge operation. The dispenser includes a pressing support portion disposed to face the lid body, and a discharge operation is performed by pinching a top portion of the lid body and the pressing support portion with fingers from lateral sides of the body.

A trigger sprayer assembly is provided. The assembly includes an engine having a piston chamber and a fluid passage that extends from an inlet portion to an outlet portion, a piston having a plunger that is disposed within the piston chamber, and a trigger lever that is configured to pivot between a neutral position and an actuated position. The assembly further includes an input valve and an output valve configured to control unidirectional fluid flow through the inlet and outlet portions of the fluid passage. The input valve includes a cylindrical body terminating in a flap portion. Pivotal movement of the trigger lever from the actuated position to the neutral position pulls the plunger out of the piston chamber such that the flap portion of the input valve pivots from a closed position to an opened position and fluid flows through the input valve and into the piston chamber.

A manually operated trigger sprayer that stores a quantity of pressurized liquid during the charge stroke of the trigger for subsequent release during the return stroke, is presented. The trigger sprayer is configured such that an appreciable volume of liquid is dispensed during both the charge and the return strokes of the trigger, creating a continuous discharge stream, for so long as the trigger is actuated. The present invention trigger sprayer also provides an all plastic construction by replacing tile metal coil spring of prior art trigger sprayers with a U-shaped plastic spring located exterior to the pump housing thereby making the trigger sprayer well-suited for recycling.

In a foamer dispenser, a depressing head includes: a head main unit with a top wall portion arranged above the stem and with an attachment cylindrical portion that extends downwardly from the top wall portion and is attached to the stem; and an exterior cylindrical portion that is provided beneath the top wall portion and surrounds the attachment cylindrical portion and the guide cylindrical portion from an outer side in a radial direction. An inside of the exterior cylindrical portion is communicable with an inside of the cylinder for air through an inside of the guide cylindrical portion. The head main unit and the exterior cylindrical portion are formed as separate entities and are fitted to each other. In an upper end portion of the exterior cylindrical portion, intake holes are formed that penetrate through the exterior cylindrical portion in a radial direction and open toward an upward direction.

A dispenser (10) to deliver a liquid medication. The dispenser (10) includes a hollow reservoir body (11) providing an interior that receives the liquid. The body (11) has a threaded neck (13) that receives a cap (58). The cap (58) includes a pump assembly (17) and a nozzle member (29). The pump assembly (17) includes a vent one-way (48) that provides for the delivery of air to the interior of the reservoir (11).
