Patent ID: 8161617

Claim:
A method of making a device for storing and dispensing liquid, such as perfume, said device comprising one or more compartments for storing the liquid, each of said one or more compartments having an aperture through which liquid is released from the compartment; sealing means for closing each said aperture; resilient means mounted within each of said one or more compartments and being arranged to bias the sealing means to close the aperture; and actuating means connected within each of said one or more compartments to said resilient means and extending out of said one or more compartments through said aperture, said actuating means being arranged upon actuation thereof to open said aperture against the bias of said resilient means and thereby enable liquid to be released from said one or more compartments, the method comprising the steps of: molding a unitary piece of plastic material to form at least one wall of the one or more compartments, the resilient means, the sealing means and the actuating means, wherein said actuating means and said resilient means are integrally interconnected by an integral hinge with the actuating means molded at an angle relative to said resilient means; and subsequently pivoting said actuating means to be in line with said resilient means so that said actuating means can extend through said aperture.
