A tamper-proof and controlled dosing container comprising a container to store contents, an actuator coupled with the container, the actuator being depressible in a longitudinal direction to drive the contents held in the container out of a nozzle protruding horizontally from the actuator, and a functional ring. The functional ring further includes a tamper ring portion, a dosing ring portion, and a nozzle plug. The nozzle plug is affixed to the functional ring at one end and includes a protrusion at the opposite end to plug an orifice of the nozzle. The tamper ring portion is removably provided on the functional ring so as to prevent tampering with the contents held in the container. The dosing ring portion is controls the dose dispensed from the container by limiting the vertical movement of the actuator.

Disclosed is an oral mucosa delivery system that allows a composition housed therein to be dispensed in different amount and/or for different duration. The delivery system may comprise a spray cap or an aerosol cap capable of controlling the delivery duration and/or amount by a mechanical or electronic means.

Disclosed is a metering pump comprising a housing that extends from an inlet region to an outlet and surrounds a piston which is urged into a starting position by a compression spring. In the metering pump the stop limiting the lifting stroke of the piston is formed by the lower end of the piston coming in contact with the inlet portion.

A device for dispensing fluid from a fluid container, the device capable of being set to different discrete and repeatable/equal dispensing amounts, depending on the amount of fluid required to be dispensed by the user for various applications and uses. The device may also be set to an “off” or “closed” position to prevent accidental dispensing of fluid when not in use. The device is preferably configured to be affixed to the outer surface of a fluid container, which fluid container is preferably a flexible bag or pouch.

Aspects of the present invention are directed to a variable dose container. The variable dose container may comprise a container including a top portion, a bottom portion, and a side wall portion, the space between the bottom portion and the side wall portion defining an interior space, wherein the container stores contents within the interior space. The variable dose container may further include an actuator coupled with the top portion of the container that is depressible in a longitudinal direction to drive the contents held in the interior space of the container out of a nozzle protruding horizontally from the actuator. Additionally, the variable dose container may include a collar under the nozzle, a top circumferential edge of the collar containing one or more grooves of varying depth into which the nozzle can be inserted when depressed, thereby adjusting a distance the actuator is moved in the longitudinal direction.

A dosing dispenser for dispensing a material comprising a housing, a container moveably arranged in the housing and including the material, a pump unit, and an applicator for material output. The housing includes an actuation member which facilitates moving the container in the housing relative to the pump unit, so that the pump unit is activatable by the container for suctioning and dispensing the material. The actuation member is formed by an opening in the housing for manual access to the container in order to move the container in a linear manner. Alternatively, the actuation member is configured as a slider element which is inserted into an opening of the housing and coupled with the container, wherein the slider element is translatorically moveable in the opening so that the container is moveable back and forth by the sliding movement of the slider element in order to activate the pump unit.

A method and device for conveying tracking and communicating information concerning a dispensed fluid, the device including a measured dispensing device attached to a flexible collapsible container, the device including a sensor for measuring a physical property relating to the dispensing operation, and a communication device configured to communicate information determined by the sensor to a remote device.

A liquid dispensing apparatus comprising: a dispensing nozzle, end cap housing, lock-out mechanism, and dosage collar, wherein the lock-out mechanism is configured to prevent additional actuation of the dispensing nozzle and the dosage collar is configured to determine how far the dispensing nozzle may travel without resetting, which may allow the user to dispense a specific dosage of material to be dispensed via the dispensing nozzle.

A fluid dispensing system is provided. The fluid dispensing system includes a container formed by a first chamber and a second chamber separated by an internal divider. A stopper element extends through each chamber via a first aperture disposed in the internal divider. A second aperture is disposed in a base of the second chamber, wherein the stopper element is used to selectively allow fluid to flow from the first chamber into the second chamber when the stopper element is in a measuring configuration. When the stopper element is in a dispensing configuration, the first aperture between is closed and the second aperture is opened to allow fluid from the second chamber to flow exterior from the container. In this manner, a measured amount of fluid from the container can be dispensed in a single movement without using a secondary measuring receptacle.

A dispenser for dispensing flowable, for example liquid or pasty, compounds, includes a storage tank for the compound and a pump chamber, and also includes a dispenser head, wherein the dispenser head has a dispensing mouth and the dispenser head can be pressed down against a stop in the direction of a vertical axis of the dispenser to perform a pumping operation, wherein the stop is adjustable in terms of its height. In order to give a dispenser of the kind in question an advantageous design, in particular with regard to handling, the stop is formed by an outwardly exposed sliding track that can be rotated around the vertical axis, against which a projection that protrudes radially outward on the dispenser head comes to a stop when pressing down.
