20110073620 | Twisting translational displacement pump cartridge - A novel method of designing a twisting translational pump cartridge by utilizing a polymer shell with moveable cores inserted from each end. The polymer shell contains two perpendicular passages along the top for connection of a prime fluid chamber, a bulk fluid supply chamber and a fluid reservoir. These perpendicular passages and corresponding connection details are arranged in a fashion that is perpendicular to the axis of the polymer shell that comprises the pump cartridge cavity. Directly below at a different relative position also perpendicular to the axis of the pump cartridge cavity is an exit perpendicular passage for extrusion of fluid. The pump cartridge contains no valves or ancillary passages to direct flow between the different machine states of prime, refill, translate and dispense. The states are activated by changing the pitch of the twist or speed to determine relative position of the moveable cores with respect to each passage. Fluid moves by translation within the pump cartridge by filling the cavity volume between the oblate ends of the moveable cores with a liquid and matching the pitch of advancing left moveable core with the retreating pitch of the right moveable core. Both moveable cores can be directed to twist toward one another or one moveable core can remain stationary while the other advances twisting toward it to dispense a liquid. | 03-31-2011 |
20110248052 | Recharge insert for cleaning, sanitizing or disinfectant fluid spray system - A recharge insert, for use with a spray dispenser device, is made of a matrix material impregnated with a chemical composition that is made dry-to-the-touch and is held in place by a porous three-dimensional polyethylene film that prevents direct skin contact, while allowing the chemical composition to be dissolved in solution with a diluent fluid such as water. The recharge insert can be comprised of one or more layers of adsorptive material. When the spray bottle is filled with water, sealed, and shaken, the fluid penetrates into the matrix material, and the chemical composition becomes dissolved in solution, thereby creating a cleaning, sanitizing or disinfectant solution that will remain stable and fully active in use. The recharge insert may be engaged with an insert locating adapter as may be desired. | 10-13-2011 |
