Abstract:

A dispenser for use in dispensing liquid or solid material. The dispenser includes wall portions forming a sealed first chamber containing the material and wall portions forming a second chamber and a molded, rupturable membrane disposed between the first chamber and the second chamber The rupturable membrane is preferably a circular disk with a series of molded radial depressions or weld seams extending from a center point of the disk. When pressure is applied directly to the membrane the membrane is fractured along the depressions or weld seams A method is provided for forming the dispenser by injection molding.

US Classification:

401133, 401132, 401 40, 401 41, 604 3

Abstract:

A dispenser () for dispensing a mixture () of a first flowable material () and a second flowable material () has a container () having a first chamber () and a second chamber (). The first chamber () is adapted to contain the first material () and the second chamber () is adapted to contain the second material (). The dispenser () further comprises a first membrane () separating the first and second chambers (), and a second membrane () connected to the container () proximate the second chamber (). Pressure applied to the first membrane () fractures the first membrane () wherein the first flowable material () and the second flowable material () mix to form a mixture (). Pressure applied to the second membrane () fractures the second membrane () to dispense the mixture ().

Assignee:

James Alexander Corporation - Blairstown NJ

International Classification:

B43K 5/14

US Classification:

401133, 401132, 604 3

Abstract:

A dispenser for dispensing a flowable material has a container having a side wall and further having a closed end and an open end. A membrane defines a chamber within the container between the membrane and the closed end of the container. The membrane has a weld seam rupturable upon the application of a force to a side wall of the container proximate the membrane. A swab assembly is operably connected to the open end of the container such that the swab assembly is in flow communication with the open end.

Assignee:

James Alexander Corporation - Blairstown NJ

International Classification:

B43K 5/14

US Classification:

401132, 401119, 2225414, 2225416

Abstract:

A dispenser () for dispensing flowable materials has a container assembly () having a dividing wall (). A first chamber () and a second chamber () are defined in the container assembly (). The first chamber () is configured to contain a first flowable material (M) () and the second chamber () is configured to contain a second flowable material (M) (). A membrane () is positioned in the container and cooperates with the dividing wall () to enclose the first and second chambers (). The membrane () has a first section () having a first weld seam () and a second section () having a second weld seam (). The first section () is separated from the second section () by a non-rupturable member (). Rupture of the membrane () allows the flowable materials into a third chamber () in which the flowable materials mix to form a mixture, and from which the mixture is dispensed.
