A trigger dispenser device () envisages a secondary liquid aspiration duct () in communication with the dispenser duct, and a primary liquid aspiration duct () in communication with the container, off-axis with each other. Between these, a joining compartment () is provided communicating upstream with the primary liquid aspiration duct () and communicating downstream with the secondary liquid aspiration duct () to form the fluidic connection between them. In particular, the container (C) is of the type with built-in suction pipe.

Trigger dispenser

The invention relates to free floating automated toilet bowl cleaning devices that dispense a volatile composition (e.g., a fragrance) into air surrounding the toilet and dispense a cleaning composition (e.g., hypohalite bleach) into toilet tank water on which the device freely floats. The device includes a first compartment for housing the volatile composition. The first compartment is permeable to air, with the permeable portion of the first compartment positioned above a water line when the device is floated. The device includes a second compartment for housing the cleaning composition. The second compartment includes one or more inlets through the device body to allow fluid communication with the liquid on which the device floats during use. A floatation member is positioned above the second compartment (e.g., between the first and second compartments).

Floating automatic toilet bowl cleaning device

A trigger dispenser device () comprises a container (C) provided with a dip tube, a dispenser head () with a primary liquid aspiration duct () connectable to the auxiliary liquid aspiration duct () of the container (C) and eccentric with respect to the container axis (X).

Trigger dispenser device

Fluid dispensing apparatus with integral dip tube. Container includes body having wall defining interior volume, a first neck top, and a fitment extending from the neck top. A dip tube integrally formed to the body, fluidly connected to interior bottom, and fluidly connected to interior volume at landing top edge at or below the neck top, wherein distance between landing top edge and neck top is equal to or less than length of the fitment. The landing may be funnel-shaped, with one or more sides of landing slanting inward towards top opening of dip tube. Dispenser may be coupled to fitment and include supply line connected with dip tube at landing. Bent connector may be provided for fluidly connecting supply line with dip tube at landing when dispenser is attached to neck top. Container may include second neck top separated from first neck top by gap.

Bottle with integral dip tube

Described is a fluid dispensing container having a bottle and fluid withdrawing assembly for liquids, such as liquid cleaners and the like. The bottle has an integral dip tube formed therein connecting at a landing below the top of the bottle neck, fluidly connecting the inside of the bottle with the top opening of the bottle. A fluid dispensing mechanism, such as a pump or trigger-sprayer, is attached to the top of the bottle to take fluid up through the integral dip tube and dispense the fluid accordingly. The fluid dispensing mechanism may be aligned to allow a direct connection between integral dip tube and the fluid dispensing mechanism at a landing below the bottle opening. The fluid dispensing mechanism may be attached to the bottle with a snap-fit connection.

Described is a plastic aerosol device having a vapor tap valve orifice and an aqueous product composition containing a non-flammable hydrofluorocarbon propellant and a flammable alcohol solvent. The composition can additionally contain a alcohol co-solvent such as triethylene glycol and a quaternary antibacterial agent.

Non-flammable plastic aerosol

Drain snake

Described is a shrink sleeve label for a fluid dispensing container having a bottle and fluid withdrawing assembly for liquids, such as liquid cleaners and the like. The bottle has an external integral dip tube formed at the bottle front surface and separated from the bottle by a partition. The integral dip tube fluidly connects to the bottle interior at a landing below the top of the bottle neck. A fluid dispensing mechanism, such as a pump or trigger-sprayer, is attached to the top of the bottle to take fluid up through the integral dip tube and dispense the fluid accordingly. The shrink sleeve label covers the bottle, the integral dip tube and the partition.

Process of making a shrink sleeve on a bottle with integral dip tube

Described is a multi-chamber fluid dispensing container with multiple dip tubes, and a package including the container and trigger sprayer having multiple supply lines for fluid connection to the multiple dip tubes. The container includes a body having a first wall defining a first interior volume and a second wall defining a second interior volume, a first dip tube fluidly connected to the first interior volume, and a second dip tube fluidly connected to the second interior volume. The package may include the container and a trigger sprayer coupled to the container, and fluidly connected to the first dip tube and to the second dip tube. Other embodiments may also be disclosed and claimed.

Multi-chamber fluid dispensing container with dip tubes

Described is a fluid dispensing container having a bottle and fluid withdrawing assembly for liquids, such as liquid cleaners and the like. The bottle has an integral dip tube formed therein connecting at a landing below the top of the bottle neck, fluidly connecting the inside of the bottle with the top opening of the bottle. A fluid dispensing mechanism, such as a hose sprayer, is attached to the top of the bottle to take fluid up through the integral dip tube and dispense the fluid accordingly. The fluid dispensing mechanism may be aligned to allow a direct connection between integral dip tube and the fluid dispensing mechanism at a landing below the bottle opening. The fluid dispensing mechanism may be attached to the bottle with a snap-fit connection.
