  • a fluid preferably ambient air
  • the improved valve assembly 10 is advantageously mounted within an opening of a bottle or other container, such an operation provides an anti-retraction benefit in that it denies for the return of any liquid which had been previously expelled past the flexible valve 40 and into the hollow interior 13 of the spout portion 12, or alternately denies the entry of any liquid which may be present in the hollow interior 13 of the spout portion 12 which had entered via the open tip end 22 of the spout portion 12, past the flexible valve, into the inward section 28 and ultimately into the bottle or other container upon which the improved nozzle assembly 10 is mounted.
  • This eliminates the likelihood of contamination of the composition contained within the interior of the bottle or other container.
  • the operation of the circumferential flap 48 of the flexible valve 40 permits sufficient passage of ambient air to allow a compressed bottle or other container to assume its unstressed and normal shape after the targeted delivery of the composition contained therein.
  • the foregoing features of the improved nozzle assembly 10 and the anti-retraction benefit provided thereby is particularly advantageous for the targeted delivery of a liquid composition through the spout portion 12 particularly when the spout portion 12 is downwardly directed, that is to say when a combination package and delivery article, which may be in its simplest form a bottle or other container having mounted thereon and improved nozzle assembly 10, is inferred it is such that the bottle or other container is directed vertically upwardly and above the improved nozzle assembly 10 and the open tip end 22 is directed downwardly with respect thereto.

  • the anti-retraction feature of the nozzle assembly ensures that none of the standing liquid enters into the interior of the container on which the nozzle assembly is mounted.
  • the nozzle assembly also permits for the venting of the contents of the bottle in a safe manner by permitting for the exit of any gas which may be generated by the composition through the nozzle, while at the same time resisting the egress of the liquid composition. Such reduces the incidence of bloating and undesired expansion of the container when stored or between dispensing operations.
