An open top dispensing cup has a continuous sidewall and a bottom wall with an opening therein. A flexible tube is extended through the opening in snug fitting relation so that the upper part of the tube is in the cup and the lower part is in a flexible container to which the cup is removably secured. The container is adapted to hold a liquid which may be forced therefrom, upon squeezing of its sidewall, through the tube and into the cup. The upper end portion of the tube has a plug inserted the...

A powder dispensing system is disclosed which is formed from a top dispenser portion coupled to bottom container portion. The top dispenser portion has a dispenser orifice with a cap that is preferably attached to the dispenser through strap element. The top dispenser portion and the bottom container portion are coupled through geometrically matched brim sections with snap features or complementary twisting threads that adjoin the top and the bottom to form a smooth interior dispensing surface. ...

A device for delivering precisely measured, minute quantities of liquid has no metal parts which contact the liquid. The device employs a barrel defining member with a bore which receives a polymer coated glass or ceramic fiber which functions as a piston. Fluid is drawn into and discharged from the bore via a needle in the form of a polymer coated glass or ceramic capillary tube.

There is provided a toothbrush where the dose of dentifrice used is controlled by the use of bristles of at least two different colors. When the bristles of one color are covered with a dentifrice the dose will be within guidelines. In addition, the dentifrice and bristles of one of the colors can be the same to aid in controlling the dose of dentifrice. This will in turn limit the dose of fluoride and other components of a dentifrice.

The invention relates to a device for administering substances at overpressure. The device includes a pressure vessel made of glass and containing a substance to be discharged from the pressure vessel and at least one propellent. The pressure vessel has an opening and an actuable discharge element mounted on the pressure vessel in the opening for releasing the substance from the pressure vessel. A self-supporting housing encloses the pressure vessel and at least a portion of the discharge elemen...

A liquid measuring device comprises a cap which is adapted to fit on a liquid container. A reservoir adapted to hold a dose of liquid is mounted on the cap. The reservoir has a opening in the top which is covered by a removable reservoir cap. A tube runs from the inside of the liquid container through the cap and upward into the reservoir. The liquid is forced from the container, through the tube and into the reservoir by squeezing the sides of the container inwardly. Similarly, liquid can be fo...

A cookie dough dispenser in the form of a cookie gun includes a barrel having opposite first and second ends for containing cookie dough, a handgrip provided at the first end, an exit formed at the second end for dispensing cookie dough contained in the barrel, and a cookie dough dispensing mechanism. The dispensing mechanism includes a trigger at the handgrip and a piston slidable within and along the axis of the barrel to dispense cookie dough from the barrel through the exit. The barrel inclu...

A powder dispenser includes a powder container with a top having inlet and outlet holes. A plate of size slightly less than the inside of the container is movably disposed within the container above the contained powder. A tube connected to the plate in communication with a hole through it extends to outside the container through the inlet hole. A second tube is mounted to the top of the container in communication with the inlet hole and the first tube is longitudinally slideably located within ...

A measuring/dispensing cap adapted for attachment to an open upper end of a container, the cap comprising a substantially cylindrical skirt and a lid connected thereto; the cylindrical skirt portion incorporating a measuring chamber defined in part by a weir panel having an opening that is defined in whole or in part by a wall extending upwardly from the panel toward the lid, terminating short of the underside of the lid.

There is disclosed a squeeze-container for dispensing a viscous liquid comprising a reservoir for holding the liquid (at least a part of the reservoir being resiliently squeezable), a measuring channel for measuring therein a quantity of the liquid to be dispensed, a spout in communication with an upper part of the channel, and an air trap including an air chamber, the air trap being in communication with a lower end of the channel and with substantially the bottom of the reservoir. The air trap...
