| 20100065588 | DISPENSING CLOSURE HAVING A FLOW CONDUIT WITH KEY-HOLE SHAPE - A dispensing closure has a key-hole shaped flow conduit that provides a sufficient flow restriction to prevent unwanted spurting of the product when the container is initially opened. The dispensing closure includes a closure body with an upper and lower deck, inner and outer skirt, and a flow conduit extending through the upper deck. The outer skirt is configured to mount to a product container. The flow conduit includes including two or more vertically oriented walls and a bottom wall. The bottom wall configured and arranged to be positioned along a horizontal axis. The flow conduit includes one or more entrance orifices having one or more entrance axes and an exit orifice having an exit axis. The entrance axis is stepped or offset from the exit axis whereby the flow conduit provides a non-linear flow path of product from an interior of the closure to an exterior of the closure. | 03-18-2010 |
| 20100072231 | Baffled Dispensing Closure - A dispensing closure assembly includes a deck having an outlet orifice, and an outlet conduit extending through the deck generally coaxially with respect to the outlet orifice. An inner wall extends generally coaxially with respect to the outlet conduit, wherein a fluid chamber is at least partially defined radially inwardly of the inner wall. A baffle wall is carried radially inwardly of the inner wall, wherein one or more fluid flow passages are defined between the inner wall and the baffle wall. The baffle wall includes a central portion opposed to the outlet conduit and a raised peripheral portion extending axially and radially outwardly from the central portion. Fluid flowing through the fluid flow passages enters the fluid chamber through the fluid flow passages, is directed toward the inner wall by the baffle wall, and then flows into the outlet conduit and out the outlet orifice. | 03-25-2010 |
| 20100206916 | DISPENSING CLOSURE HAVING A FLOW CONDUIT WITH KEY-HOLE SHAPE - A dispensing closure has a flow conduit that provides a sufficient flow restriction to prevent unwanted spurting of the product when the container is initially opened. The dispensing closure includes a closure body with an upper deck and a flow conduit extending through the upper deck. The flow conduit includes an entry orifice having an entrance axis and an exit orifice having an exit axis. The entrance axis is parallel to, but not co-linear with, the exit axis to provide a non-linear flow path from an interior of the closure to the exterior of the closure. | 08-19-2010 |
| 20100258595 | Multi-Phase Oral Composition Dispenser With Adjustable Flow - A flow control device for dispensing a multi-phase oral composition. The device includes a housing, a restrictor and an insert that fits within and cooperates with the housing and restrictor to dispense the oral composition. A flowpath is formed in and around the insert, as well as in the housing such that the composition passes through one or more channels defined by the cooperative arrangement of the insert and housing. Changes in relative position between the insert and the housing facilitate selective alignment of the various channels with a discharge orifice formed in the housing such that a user can vary the way the proportions of discreet fluids making up the oral composition are dispensed through said orifice. | 10-14-2010 |
| 20120261442 | Liquid Food Dispenser System and Method - A system and method for dispensing fluids is introduced. A preferred embodiment comprises a sealed tank, a bag containing fluid inside the sealed tank, an outlet for dispensing the liquid in the bag, and a pressure generating device to create pressure in the sealed tank. | 10-18-2012 |
| 20140361050 | FAN ORIFICE DISPENSING CLOSURE - A dispensing closure for a squeeze-type container produces a fan-type spray in a low pressure environment. The dispensing closure includes a closure body having an upper deck and a skirt depending from the upper deck. The skirt is configured and arranged to attach to a product container, such as a squeeze-type container. A flow conduit extends from an interior of the closure body and through the upper deck to provide a flow path from an interior of the closure to an exterior of the closure. The flow conduit has an entrance orifice and an exit orifice. The flow conduit has an inner wall extending between the entrance orifice and the exit orifice. The flow conduit and the closure body are integrally formed. The flow conduit includes a tip portion with an exit orifice defining a shape to provide a fan-type spray in a low pressure environment. | 12-11-2014 |
| 20150108180 | Spray and splash reducing cap - Described herein is a closure for the reduction of spray and splash when substances such as tomato ketchup and other substances are being squeezed out of a container. In one embodiment of the invention, the closure has a chamber, a pliable structure that has an opening for substances to flow into the chamber, and an outlet. The invention, allows the substances from the container to be squeezed out in a smooth flow, resulting in significantly reduced spray or splash. | 04-23-2015 |
| 20150144664 | Liquid Pressure Reducing Unit for Beverage Dispensing Unit - A liquid pressure-reducing unit having a first half body with a contact surface and first groove extending over the contact surface is disclosed. The unit has a flexible resilient sealing element having a floor layer lining the floor of the first groove. The unit has a second half body with a contact surface and first and second walls extending out of the contact surface and defining a second groove. The contact surfaces of the first half body and second half body join, wherein the first and second walls penetrate into the first groove so that the free end of the first and second walls forms a fluid-tight contact with the flexible resilient floor layer lining the floor of the first groove, defining a fluid-tight channel bringing in fluid communication a fluid inlet with a fluid outlet. The channel is non-rectilinear and/or having a cross-section varying over the length thereof. | 05-28-2015 |
