Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method of dispensing includes the steps of exerting a force on an actuator of a dispenser having a conduit with an inlet and an outlet in a first non-actuation state, to place the actuator in a second actuation state. When the actuator is in the second actuation state, the inlet and the outlet of the actuator are moved from a first position to a second position.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. An overcap, comprising: a sidewall; and an actuator, wherein the actuator is operably connected to the sidewall by the inelastic deformation of a portion of the sidewall. 2. The overcap of claim 1 , wherein the sidewall includes at least one channel for receipt of at least one tab disposed on the actuator. 3. The overcap of claim 2 , wherein two flanges extend from the sidewall of the overcap, each having a channel, wherein two complementary tabs disposed on the actuator are received within the two channels. 4. The overcap of claim 2 , wherein the portion of the sidewall is deformed to obstruct an opening of the at least one channel to prevent removal of the at least one tab. 5. The overcap of claim 4 , wherein the at least one channel is provided within a flange having a post, which is deformed to obstruct the opening of the at least one channel to prevent removal of the at least one tab. 6. The overcap of claim 1 , wherein the actuator and the sidewall are formed from a thermoplastic material.
