5873492 - Dispensing bag for dynamic mixer - Owned by Coltene/Whaledent, Inc. (Mahwah, NJ)

A pliable dispensing bag containing a flowable material includes an internal rigid adapter plate having an offset or asymmetric integral nozzle through which the flowable material may be extruded. The deformable material of the bag is clamped around a collar provided at the base of the nozzle so as to form a permanent first leakproof seal. Additional material from the foil bag is gathered at the top of a cap fitted over the nozzle and clamped against the top of the cap to form a removable or temporary second seal and to further hold the cap in place on the nozzle.

6286725 - Contamination-safe multi-dose dispensing and delivery system for flowable materials - Owned by Waterfall Company, Inc. (Santa Cruz, CA)

A valve for dispensing the fluid contents of a container such that external contaminants such as dust, air or microbes cannot enter the container even after repeated dispensing cycles. The valve comprises a plug-type valve and an elastomeric sheath type valve such as a flapper valve, slit valve, or duck bill valve. All are one-way devices. The plug is provided with a mechanism for resetting it to the closed position at the end of each delivery cycle such that the plug is a one-way device also. The mechanism can be an elastomeric tether, gravity, or the deformation of a valve part. The plug can be provided with channels or other cut or shaped features, e.g. grooves, to facilitate fluid flow. The container used with this invention must be volumetrically reducible and thereby maintain its own internal pressure at the end of a delivery cycle. Alternatively, the valve of the present invention can be made without the outlet valve i.e., the flapper, slit, or duck bill valve. In this case, the plug is the only one-way valve mechanism.
