The invention relates to a dispenser, such as of the type that is adapted to be squeezed to dispense its contents. The dispenser comprises: at least one container engaging element adapted to engage a flexible container containing contents to be dispensed, the at least one container engaging element including a dispensing opening configured to receive and dispense the contents of the flexible container through the dispensing opening; and a base operatively associated with the at least one container engaging element and including an opening configured to receive the dispensing opening of the at least one container engaging element; wherein the at least one container engaging element is configured to maintain at least a portion of the flexible container in a predetermined position, wherein the contents of the flexible container are dispensed upon pressure being applied to the flexible container.

A fluid device generally comprises a staging reservoir which may receive a volume of fluid flowing from a primary reservoir via a coupler upon operation of an actuator, wherein the staging reservoir is usable to measure fluid within the device in order to dispense a desired amount of fluid.

A plug member integrally includes a base portion (35a) attached to a plug holder (31) to be mounted on a mouth portion of a container, a plug (34) engaged with an engagement portion (31c) provided in an outlet passage of the plug holder (31), and a resilient connection portion (35b) resiliently connecting the plug (34) to the base portion (35a). Before the first use, the outlet passage is closed with the plug member. In the first use, the container is squeezed to increase the internal pressure of the container. Thus, the plug (34) is disengaged from the engagement portion (31c) by the internal pressure. The outlet passage is thereafter constantly kept open.

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.

A fluid device generally comprises a staging reservoir which may receive a volume of fluid flowing from a primary reservoir via a coupler upon operation of an actuator, wherein the staging reservoir is usable to measure fluid within the device in order to dispense a desired amount of fluid.

A spouted pouch (1) has a spout (10) with a neck (14) extending upward from an attachment portion (12). A cap unit (30) has a cap body (35) and an integrated ring member (50), made as one piece of plastic. A ring member is integrally formed to the lower edge of the skirt of the cap body and comprises an annular base portion (51) connected via breakable bridges (53) to the skirt. The base portion and the spout body (11) have cooperating permanent snap-fit joint portions (56, 21, 23) that keep the ring member fixed to the spout upon removal of the cap body. The pouch further comprises a flow control device (80) made distinct from the spout and from the cap unit. The flow control device is mounted to the neck (14) and has an external part (82) located outside of the exterior surface of the neck. The cap body is arranged over the neck and the flow control device. The ring member and the external part of the flow control device have cooperating retention portions (55, 83).

Provided are a measuring mechanism for measuring a predetermined fixed amount or an arbitrary amount of a liquid composition and discharging it, and a quantitative dispensing container and a quantitative applicator including such a mechanism. A measuring mechanism is provided that includes a base and a head defining a measurement space between the base and itself, the base and the head configured to be capable of changing the volume of the measurement space in response to a predetermined operation of the head including a measurement operation for increasing the volume of the measurement space and a discharge operation for reducing the volume of the measurement space. The base includes a first passageway for allowing the composition to flow from the outside into the measurement space, and a first check valve located on the first passageway. The first check valve of the base increases its sealability if there is a positive pressure in the measurement space.

The invention relates to a self-closing fragrance cartridge (1) for a fragrancer (20), which comprises a housing (3) having at least one housing opening (2). The housing (3) at least partially delimits a housing interior (4) on the inner side. In the housing interior (4), an actuating element (8) displaceable with respect to the housing (3) between a closed position (5) and a fragrancing position (6) and having at least one element opening (7) is at least partially arranged, which actuating element partially delimits an element interior (9). Here, in the closed position (5) of the actuating element (8) the element interior (9) is closed in a fluid-tight manner by means of the housing (3) of the fragrance cartridge (1). By comparison, in the fragrancing position (6) the housing opening (2) and the element opening (7) are arranged in a fluidically communicating manner, so that by means of the housing opening (2) and the element opening (7) the element interior (9) is connected in a fluid-permeable manner with an outer space (10) adjoining the housing (3) on the outer side.

Cosmetic containers configured to hold and dispense a cosmetic product. The container may store and dispense cosmetic products from two different cavities, or it may be configured to dispense a cosmetic product from a single cavity in two different manners. A first dispensing outlet can be used by adjusting the container to a first configuration and tilting the container. A second dispending outlet is used by actuation of a pump.
