Abstract:
A dispenser for dispensing a beverage from a beverage bottle, especially for dispensing wine from a wine bottle and facilitating the aeration of the dispensed wine while it is being poured to shorten the time normally devoted to breathing the wine. An open lesser end of the dispenser inserts into the neck of a wine bottle and preferably seals therein. A valve may be closed to temporarily preserve the wine in the bottle for later aeration while dispensing.
Abstract:
An automatic wax dipping system is an apparatus that dips multiple bottles into wax without the manual input of a user. The apparatus includes a basin, a first receptacle, a second receptacle, a first set of heating elements, a track mechanism, and a motorized belt. The basin upholds components of the apparatus. The first receptacle houses oil and the second receptacle houses wax. The first set of heating elements heat the oil which in turn heats the wax. The track mechanism includes a plurality of rails and an at least one motorized belt. The plurality of rails upholds multiple bottles and directs the path of multiple bottles across the present invention. The at least one motorized belt forces the multiple bottles through the plurality of rails in specific lengthwise sections where the multiple bottles may require additional force.
Abstract:
A lid for securing to the rim of a container, the lid including inverted dimples positioned along a top wall of the lid for engaging the rim of the container. The top wall includes one or more inverted dimples which reverse direction and pop up to project outwards and upwards from beyond the top wall of the lid when the lid is applied to the rim of a container. When all the dimples are raised, the lid is seated firmly on the container. The raised dimples provide both visual and tactile confirmation of a secure seal of the lid to the rim of a container.
Abstract:
A method of producing a dispenser for a viscous substance comprising forming a barrel having a top surface with plurality of apertures at one end, directly molding a thermoplastic seal unit onto said top surface, said thermoplastic flowing into said plurality of apertures during molding to form a seal unit having a substantially planar section and a plurality of depending projections. The seal unit can be removable and usually not replaceable after each use of the dispenser. The seal unit can have pull tabs for the easy removal of the seal unit. This seal unit provides a positive seal for the lotion or gel substance that is to be dispensed from the barrel.
Abstract:
Self-locking handheld adhesive dispensers and methods for dispensing an adhesive using a handheld dispenser. The self-locking handheld dispenser includes a valve, a trigger connected to the valve, and a spring-biased trigger lock mechanism used to lock and unlock the trigger. A locking member of the trigger lock mechanism normally has a blocking relationship with the trigger that prevents an incidental force applied to the trigger from opening the valve. The trigger is unlocked by manually moving a locking member of the trigger lock mechanism out of the blocking relationship with the trigger. The trigger is then freed to respond to an applied manual force and open the valve to dispense the adhesive. When the trigger is released, the valve closes and the spring biasing of the trigger lock mechanism automatically returns the locking member to the blocking relationship with the trigger so that the locked state is restored.
Abstract:
A manually operated vertically reciprocated pump dispenser has a simplified construction with two separate pumps that pump two separate liquids from a container and keep the two separate liquids separated from each other as they are pumped through the dispenser, mixing the liquids for the first time in a discharge passage of the dispenser just prior to the mixed liquids being discharged from the dispenser. The dispenser has a rotatable sleeve that covers the two pumps and is rotated to lock and unlock a dispenser head that operates the two pumps.
Abstract:
A bag-in-box dispenser has a child-resistant closure to prevent unintentional opening of the valve lever. The child resistant closure works with a finger-activated unlocking means on the dispensing spigot or fitment. The dispenser optionally includes a cup to receive the liquid. The valve housing and lever housing can snap together to form a leak-proof seal.
Abstract:
An aerosol valve actuator with a top portion rotatable on a bottom portion. The entire top portion in one rotatable position is depressible vertically to actuate the valve. A click post and clicking rib provide a single click in each direction of rotation. Flanges on top and bottom portions interact to stop rotation as soon as each click occurs. Plastic springs interact with spring biasing members only when the top portion is in actuating position, and assure return of the actuator top portion to full upward position for rotation after actuation of even a short-stemmed valve. Downwardly extending flexible connecting flanges connect the actuator top and bottom portions. The top portion has a lower periphery with a plurality of upwardly extending indentations to overlie lateral ribs in the lower portion in actuation position. The top and bottom portions have interfitting cylinders to stabilize the top portion and maintain verticality.
Abstract:
The structure that can keep a foreign object from coming into the container for the pump of the liquid container is focused on solving the dust accumulated inside the container before being sold. An anti-lock device is placed between the pump and the tip of the bottle, which includes an upper stopper, lower stopper, and a pre-snap rib. The upper stopper has a limit stopper that is placed at the end of the outlet tube of the pump, and the lower stopper is placed on the opening of the bottle. The pre-snap rib is placed between the upper and lower stopper. An extension part is placed on the upper stopper that extends to the outlet of the outlet tube, and a sealable lid is placed at the end of the extension part that can seal the outlet of the outlet tube.
Abstract:
A container body has a main opening large enough to permit passage of large paintbrushes or sprayer suction lines and filters. This opening is covered with a large cap that comprises a bayonet-type seal. Special features in the cap and in the body combine to provide a swivel pour valve permitting contents of the container to be poured from the can in a controlled manner with no spillage or mess. The cap has a close position, a remove-replace position and a pour position. A sealed-closed position is achieved with cap rotation in a first rotation direction from a first cap remove-replace position and the pour position is achieved by cap rotation in the same rotation direction from a second cap remove-replace position. Preferably a pour vent is provided. It could be covered with a threaded screw or snap-on cover.
