Abstract:
A dispenser has a body with a variable-volume storage chamber for storing substance, and a dispensing portion defining a dosage chamber in fluid communication with the storage chamber. A first valve includes a valve seat and a flexible valve cover seated thereon defining a normally-closed fluid-tight seam therebetween. The valve cover relative to moves from the valve seat to allow substance through the seam and out of the dispenser. A second valve allows substance from the storage chamber into the dosage chamber and substantially prevents flow from the dosage chamber into the storage chamber. An actuator is manually movable between (i) a first non-actuated position, and (ii) a second actuated position extending into the dosage chamber for compressing a dose of substance therein, dispensing substance through the first valve. The elasticity of the actuator causes it to return to the first non-actuated position upon manually releasing the actuator.

Claim (Index 32):
A dispenser as defined in  claim 31 , wherein the first means is a body portion of the dispenser; the second means is a dispensing portion connected with the body and defining a dosage chamber coupled in fluid communication with the storage chamber for receiving substance therefrom, and an outlet aperture coupled in fluid communication with the dosage chamber; the third means is a first valve including a valve seat and an a flexible valve cover seated on the valve seat and defining a normally-closed seam therebetween forming a fluid-tight seal between the valve cover and valve seat, wherein the flexible valve cover is movable relative to the valve seat and the seam is connectable in fluid communication with the outlet aperture to allow the passage of substance through the seam and out of the dispenser; the fourth means is a second valve coupled in fluid communication between the dosage chamber and the storage chamber that allows the flow of substance from the storage chamber into the dosage chamber and substantially prevents the flow of substance from the dosage chamber into the storage chamber; and the fifth means is an elastic actuator mounted on the dispensing portion in fluid communication with the dosage chamber and movable between (i) a first non-actuated position, and (ii) a second actuated position for compressing a dose of substance within the dosage chamber and, in turn, dispensing the substance through the first valve.
