Enhanced dispensing and dosaging techniques for fluid containers

摘要

In various embodiments, the invention provides enhanced structures, devices, and techniques that allow fluids and liquid products, such as cosmetics, to dispense in a more even, smoother, and more predictable manner from fluid containers. In one embodiment, a plug is inserted into the nozzle of a squeeze tube. The plug has embossments on its surface that form longitudinal openings for the tube's fluid contents to dispense in a controlled fashion. In one embodiment, a plug is positioned within at least a portion of the interior of the nozzle of a fluid container. The plug includes a tip and a base having at least one longitudinal opening structured to create a pathway for communicating fluid from the fluid repository to the dispensing orifice on at least a portion of an outside surface of the plug upon application of a threshold fluid pressure.

主权项

1. An apparatus for dispensing fluid, the apparatus comprising:
a fluid repository in fluid communication with a nozzle, wherein the nozzle includes at least one dispensing orifice formed therein; and, a plug positioned within at least a portion of the interior of the nozzle, the plug comprising:
a tip with at least one tortured path formed on said tip of said plug defined by a plurality of raised segments, anda base having at least one longitudinal opening formed on at least a portion of an outside surface of the base, wherein the longitudinal opening is structured to create a pathway for communicating fluid from the fluid repository to the dispensing orifice on at least a portion of an outside surface of the plug upon application of a threshold fluid pressure.
