SKIN FORMULATION DISPENSER FOR USE WITH OR AS PART OF A SONIC APPLICATOR
First Claim
1. A dispenser for use as a part of a skin formulation applicator assembly, comprising:
- a dispenser housing;
a reservoir positioned within the housing containing a skin formulation for treatment of a skin condition;
an outlet nozzle assembly through which a skin formulation from the reservoir exits for delivery;
a valve pump assembly connecting the reservoir to the nozzle; and
an actuator member by which the user can move a skin formulation present in the reservoir through the nozzle, wherein the diameter of an outlet port of the nozzle has a value which permits the skin formulation to be conveniently moved, without undue effort, by user action on the actuator, while limiting evaporation of the fluid sufficiently to maintain effectiveness of the formulation, wherein the outlet port opening is within the range of 0.035 inches to 0.05 inches.

Abstract
The skin formulation dispenser includes a housing and a reservoir positioned within the housing containing a skin formulation. The dispenser includes an outlet nozzle from which the skin formulation exits and a pump assembly connecting the reservoir to the nozzle. An actuator is provided by which a user can mechanically apply pressure to the pump assembly to move the formulation from the reservoir to the nozzle. The nozzle extends from an end portion of the dispenser into a mating opening in an infuser portion of the applicator in such a manner to insure that the dispenser is authorized for use in the applicator, wherein the nozzle is configured so as to permit movement of the formulation by reasonable force from the reservoir through the nozzle while also preventing overly rapid evaporation of the formulation exiting from the nozzle.

12. A dispenser for use as part of a skin formulation applicator assembly, comprising:
-
a dispenser housing which includes a lower end member which is positioned slightly inboard of a lower edge of the dispenser housing; a reservoir positioned within the housing containing a skin formulation; and a delivery assembly, including a nozzle, for delivering the skin formulation from the reservoir to the nozzle portion by a user operating an actuating mechanism, wherein the nozzle includes a portion which extends beyond the end member, the extending portion configured to just fit into a mating opening in an infuser portion of the applicator assembly, providing an assurance that the dispenser is authorized for use in the applicator assembly. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)
