A valve for dispensing a fluid from a container and a dispensing apparatus with such a valve are proposed. The valve has a spring device for returning a valve element to a closed position, the spring device being integral with the valve element. The spring device has a contact area for contact with a counterface of a valve body, the contact area forming an elevation of an outer surface of the spring device. The spring device and the counterface are in point contact with each other in any position of the valve element. The materials of the contact area and the counterface are matched to each other in such a way that they slide silently on each other. A seal of the valve is made of polyethylene or a thermoplastic elastomer. The valve is preferably designed as a full plastic valve and is easily recyclable.

Valve and dispensing apparatus

A valve arrangement for dispensing a fluid is proposed. The valve arrangement comprises a valve plate for fixing the valve arrangement to a container, a valve housing and a fixing part for fixing the valve housing to the valve plate. The fixing part is welded with the valve plate. Furthermore, a dispensing apparatus with a container and a valve arrangement as well as a production method are proposed.

Valve arrangement and dispensing apparatus

The invention relates to a dispensing device () for dispensing a fluid. The dispensing device () comprises a pump device () for conveying the fluid from a container (). The pump device () can be actuated preferably by means of an actuating lever () of the dispensing device () and/or is formed by a flexible bellows (). Furthermore, a dispenser () for dispensing a fluid with a container () and a dispensing device () is disclosed.

Dispensing device and dispenser

A pump and a dispensing device with a pump for dispensing a preferably liquid product are proposed, wherein the pump comprises a spring sleeve for a spring, which separates the spring from the product, and/or wherein the pump comprises a sealed spring chamber for a spring.

Pump and dispensing device

A trigger operated aerosol dispenser is disclosed for dispensing an aerosol product from an aerosol container through an aerosol valve. The trigger operated aerosol dispenser comprises a base secured to the aerosol container with a dispensing head mounted to the base. A nozzle extends through the dispensing head for communicating the aerosol valve with a terminal orifice. A trigger actuator extends from the dispensing head for actuating the aerosol valve upon depression of the trigger actuator to dispense the aerosol product from the terminal orifice. The trigger operated aerosol dispenser may incorporate a lock for inhibiting the trigger from actuating the aerosol valve. In one example, the trigger operated aerosol dispenser may be actuated in an alternate manner upon a depression of the dispensing head. Preferably, the trigger operated aerosol dispenser is formed from a two piece unit.

Trigger operated aerosol dispenser

A dispenser pack for a free-flowing medium includes a metering pump, a container that is tightly connected to said metering pump and that can be ventilated by the pump, and a closing cap. The free-flowing medium within the container is enclosed by a bag made of a flexible material with an upper aperture rim of the bag being tightly connected in one part/piece to a wall of the container, and a space between the inside of the container wall and the outside of the bag being at atmospheric pressure.

Dispensing pack

A dispensing device for a cosmetic product is proposed. The dispensing device has a valve with a female valve element. The valve element has at least one engagement section for the positive and/or locking fastening of a male valve adapter which can be inserted into the valve element after assembly of the valve. Moreover, at its sealing side, the valve element forms a wall section which is enlarged in its inner diameter in order to permit faster filling.

Dispensing device

A metering valve () and a device () provided with it for metered dispensing of a preferably cosmetic liquid () and a process for producing such a metering valve and a use of such a metering valve. The metering valve preferably has a sealing element () which is injection molded onto the valve element () or a valve housing () or attached in some other way so that simple and economical production by injection molding is enabled. Optimum sealing is achieved in that the sealing element, at least in sections, is made at least annular or sleeve-shaped, seals radially with the inlet valve closed, and is supported either radially inside or outside.

Metering valve and device for dispensing a preferably cosmetic liquid

A metering valve () and a device () provided with it for metered dispensing of a preferably cosmetic liquid () and a process for producing such a metering valve () and a use of such a metering valve () are suggested. The metering valve has a valve element () with a spring section () which is elastic in the direction of motion and which bears a sealing element (). This allows especially sealed contact with the assigned valve seat when the inlet valve () is closed.

A spray head and a device for delivery of a liquid which enables the liquid to be delivered from a container to which the spray is connected both as a spray mist and as a jet. A first feature is that the delivery tube is shorter than the container diameter or the inside diameter of a protective cap for the container. A second feature is that the spray head&#x2014;especially with the delivery tube which is and/or is not connected to the nozzle&#x2014;does not project laterally beyond the perimeter of the container and/or fits under the protective cap. A third feature is that the delivery tube can be pivoted up away from the nozzle. A fourth feature is that the spray head has a groove-shaped top recess for holding the delivery tube. These features are usable singly or in combination.

Spray head and device for delivery of a liquid

The invention relates to an adapter () for a manually operated dispensing device () for a fluid that is/can be pressurized in a container. The dispensing device includes a housing () having a passage channel (). A tubular adapter housing () connects the uptake tube () and the channel () of the housing () of the dispensing device (). The adapter housing () has a connecting sleeve () for connection to the connecting nipple of the housing () and an uptake tube sleeve () for connection to the uptake tube (). There are several inlets () for the fluid in the upside down position of the dispensing device. The adapter housing () defines at least one section of the inlets. An inlet valve () is defined within the adapter housing () for releasing the inlets substantially simultaneously when a pressure acts on the fluid in the container in the substantially upside down position of the container. A shut-off valve () is positioned inside a large diameter valve chamber () of the adapter housing (), in such a way that the valve () can be freely displaced axially between two end positions.
