20090162131 | Dispenser With A Cam Path - A dispenser includes a cam path and a mating guide pin to provide a closed position or an open position for the dispenser. The dispenser is selectively rotatable causing the mating guide pin to travel along a cam path to rotate between slanted, unslanted, and slanted downward positions. The mating guide pin in the cam path causes the open position to allow product delivery and causes the closed position to provide a seal to prevent product leakage. In an implementation, the dispenser is selectively guidable along a helical guide slot to an upward position for product application and to a downward position to retract the applicator. When the dispenser is selectively rotatable along the helical guide slot to a retracted position, the dispenser is in a stored state. | 06-25-2009 |
20090188517 | Displacement Sifter - A sifting apparatus and container for storing and dispensing material, such as cosmetic powder are described. Two sifters are arranged so their holes are not aligned, and a resilient material is placed between the sifters to create a gap that allows powder to pass out from a storage cavity to a surface accessible by the user. In a second configuration, at least one of the sifters is displaced toward the other sifter to reduce or eliminate the gap, thus reducing or preventing the flow of material through the sifters. | 07-30-2009 |
20090188518 | Rotating Dial Sifter - Described herein are containers having a bottom portion, a bottom sifter, a dial sifter, and a removable cover having pins. A bottom sifter and a dial sifter are rotatably engaged, and both have at least one sifting hole for sifting materials with a powder-like consistency. Either the surface of the bottom sifter facing the dial sifter or the surface of the dial sifter facing the bottom sifter may have at least one raised portion, and the remaining surface may have at least one recessed depression. The dial sifter may have one or more cavities to engage the pins in the cover, thereby rotating the dial with the rotation of the cover. | 07-30-2009 |
20100003066 | Dispenser With Removable Head - A dispenser includes a removable head or applicator and a body having a reservoir for containing a product, such as a cosmetics product or a medicinal product. By virtue of having a removable head or applicator, the dispenser is capable of dispensing various products. | 01-07-2010 |
20100119287 | DISPENSER WITH A FLOW-THROUGH COMPRESSIBLE GASKET - A dispenser includes a flow-through compressible gasket and housing having a reservoir for containing a product. The flow-through compressible gasket has a at least one aperture to provide a product delivery passage when the dispenser is in an open position and to prevent leakage when the dispenser is in a closed position. In some examples, the flow-through compressible gasket may be made of a material having elastomeric properties. Thus, the compressible flow-through compressible gasket provides a seal for the dispenser. | 05-13-2010 |
20100119290 | Dispenser With Moving Assembly With Encased Valve - A dispenser includes a moving assembly which includes an upper valve and a lower valve having a reservoir for containing a product. The upper valve having at least one aperture is coupled to the lower valve having at least one aperture. Furthermore, the lower valve and the upper valve are partially covered by a sleeve. The sleeve includes a shaped path. The upper valve and the lower valve being selectively guidable along the shaped path between an upward position for the dispenser to deliver the product and a downward position to store the dispenser. | 05-13-2010 |
