OUTLET METERING ASSEMBLY TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to improvements in and/or relating to containers for dispensable contents, outlet metering assemblies for such containers and related methods and means.
BACKGROUND ART
Various forms of closable outlet assembly have previously been proposed for controlling the out pouring of dispensable contents from a container, whether the contents be a powder, liquid or otherwise. The present invention provides an outlet metering system for the dispensable contents from a container utilizing an outlet metering assembly which will at least provide an alternative to any existing arrangement. DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
In a first aspect the invention consists in a container for dispensable contents (e.g. powder) having an outlet metering assembly, said assembly comprising: a member (hereafter "fixed member") having a top and a skirt dependent from the top, said top having at least one port therethrough and said skirt having exterior engagement means (e.g. thread type) adjacent and/or at the top end thereof, internal engagement means (e.g. snap fit engagement means) engaging the container body exteriorly of the outlet opening thereof at the other end and an opening or openings through the skirt; an inner member having at least one port therethrough, said inner member being rotatable, relative to said fixed member and the container body, about an axis substantially aligned with that of the fixed member to bring the at least one port of the inner member into and out of an open or closed relationship(s) with the at least one port of the top of said fixed member, said inner member when said at least one part is not aligned at least in part with the at least one part of the top of said fixed member providing a sufficient seal for preventing the contents of the container from passing through said fixed member port(s); and a removable cap member having internal engagement means engageable with the external engagement means of said fixed member to define a chamber of variable volume bounded by the outside of the fixed member top; the construction and arrangement being such that:
the relative disposition of the ports are controllable by rotation of the inner member using a digit (e.g. finger or thumb) on the inner member through said opening or openings through the skirt of said fixed member; the external engagement means of the fixed member and the internal engagement means of the removable cap member allow the chamber defined between the top of said fixed member and the removable cap member to define, dependent on their interengagement which determines said volume, a volume of contents to be dispensed; and said fixed member [or inner member if the fixed member is transparent] (or cap member) has at least one viewable graduation indicative of that volume [or at least some marking(s) or profile(s) to a similar effect] by means of an interaction with the cap member (or, as the case may be, the fixed member [or inner member]); and such that when the container is inverted (or otherwise appropriately disposed) it is possible, with an appropriate alignment of said ports, to dispense at least some of the contents of the container into the removable cap member to fill said variable volume; whereafter, the ports can be brought into a mutual closing condition to enable the cap member to be removed while holding the dispensed material in a cup-like manner. In a second aspect the invention consists in a container for dispensable contents (e.g. powder) having an outlet metering assembly, said assembly comprising: a member (hereafter "fixed member") having a top and a skirt dependent from the top, said top having at least one port therethrough and said skirt having exterior engagement means (e.g. thread type) adjacent and/or at the top end thereof, internal engagement means (e.g. a snap fit engagement means) engaging the container body exteriorly of the outlet opening thereof at the other end and an opening or openings through the skirt; an inner member having a top and a skirt dependent therefrom , said inner member top having at least one port therethrough and having the skirt thereof rotatable, relative to said fixed member and the container body, about its axis substantially aligned with that of the fixed member to bring the at least one port of the inner member into and out of an open or closed relationship(s) with the at least one port of the top of said fixed member, said inner member skirt being located within the skirt of said fixed member and providing a sufficient seal for preventing the contents of the container from passing between the respective skirts and through said fixed member port(s) (e.g. by seating the
inner member skirt onto the container, seating the inner member skirt against the skirt of said fixed member and/or seating the top of the inner member against the inside of the top of said fixed member); and a removable cap member having internal engagement means engagement with the external engagement means of said fixed member to define a chamber of variable volume bounded by the outside of the fixed member top; the construction and arrangement being such that: the relative disposition of the ports are controllable by rotation of the inner member using a digit (e.g. finger or thumb) on the inner member through said opening or openings through the skirt of said fixed member; the external engagement means of the fixed member and the internal engagement means of the removable cap member allow the chamber defined between the top of said fixed member and the removable cap member to define, dependent on their interengagement which determines said volume, a volume of contents to be dispensed; and said fixed member [or inner member if the fixed member is transparent] (or cap member) has at least one viewable graduation indicative of that volume [or at least some marking(s) or profile (s) to a similar effect] by means of an interaction with the cap member (or, as the case may be, the fixed member [or inner member]); and such that when the container is inverted (or is otherwise appropriately disposed) it is possible, with an appropriate alignment of said ports, to dispense at least some of the contents of the container into the removable cap member to fill said variable volume; whereafter, the ports can be brought into a mutual closing condition to enable the cap member to be removed while holding the dispensed material in a cup-like manner.
Preferably said inner member is a member having a top (in which there is said at least one port) and a skirt dependent therefrom.

Figure 8 is a similar view to that of Figures 2, 4 and 6 but this time of the neck and the outlet of the container body, Figure 8 to the left of the central axis DD showing the exterior of the neck region including the various shoulders on which respectively the fixed member and inner member seat and also showing between such shoulders a projecting ridge which clip fit inter-engages in the groove previously referred to in relation to Figure 2, Figure 8 to the right of the central axis DD showing the neck region in cross-section, and
Figure 9 shows the assembly of Figure 1 with components as shown in Figures 2 through 8 in an inverted dispensing condition with particulate material passing through the aligned ports of the fixed and inner members into the predetermined (by reference to the graduation) but variable volume of the removable cap member whereupon the ports can then be closed and the dispensed volume contained within the cap member removed and held by the cap member in the form of a cup. BEST MODES FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
In the preferred form of the present invention all components are made from a plastics material by an appropriate moulding process.
The container in accordance with the present invention includes a container body 1 having a neck 2 as shown in Figure 1, preferably having a shoulder 3 on which the fixed member 4 seats and a further shoulder 5 upon which the inner member 6 seats. Interposed between the shoulders 3 and 5 is a ridge 7 having a facility to enable the clip fit engagement of the fixed member 4 thereto so as to inter-engage an internal annular groove 8 thereof (see Figure 2).
As can be seen from the assembly shown in Figure 9 the, inner member 6 is aligned with its top 10 adjacent the top 11 of the fixed member 4 and preferably with its skirt 12 adjacent the skirt 13 of the fixed member so as to prevent any tendency for a passage of any contents of the container therebetween. As shown in Figure 9, a port 14 of the fixed member 4 has been aligned in an open condition with a port 15 of the inner member 6. This bringing into and out of alignment is by means of a digit actuated rotation of the inner member 6 by engagement with the friction enhanced surface 16 thereof through an opening 17 of the fixed member 4. This can best be seen in Figure 1 and Figure 9. As can best be seen by reference to Figure 1 preferably a keyed anti-rotation inter- engagement 18 is provided between the fixed member 4 and the container body 1.
The exterior of the fixed member 4 includes external engagement means 19 which preferably is a constant pitch thread for inter-engaging with the corresponding internal thread 20 of the removable cap member 21 shown in Figure 6. The exterior of the fixed member 4 preferably carries graduations 22 (preferably in five gram increments) which by means of a physical inter-engagement with the bottom 23 of the removable cap 21 indicates the volume of powder or other contents of the container capable of being dispensed into the region 24.
The graduation 22 (see Figure 2) is on the fixed member 4 and thus is exteriorly viewable as to the volume being defined by reference to the bottom edge 23 of the skirt of the removable cap member 21. In other forms of the present invention, if the plastics member 4 is transparent the graduation could be provided on the skirt of the inner member 6 and perform much the same purpose. Conversely if, for example, the removable cap member 21 is transparent the graduation 22 could be provided thereon and it could be read by any appropriate indicator provided on the fixed member 4.
Persons skilled in the art will appreciate the method of operation of a dispensing assembly with its metering characteristics. The dose size is controlled by the preset volume which has been selected by an appropriate screwing or unscrewing of the removable cap member with reference to the graduation or graduations. It enables the filling of the reservoir region of the removable cap member (which preferably can be seen through the preferred transparent cap material) and then, after closure of the container, the removal of the cap member cupping the dispensed contents for, for example, addition into a washing machine or the like. Such a method has equal application to liquids as
well as powders though the measure of seal may be greater in relation to less viscous liquids.
Irrespective of whether or not liquids or powder is included the mode of operation is as follows: "1. invert the full container with the removable cap fully fitted and the rotating inner member in the closed position;
2. rotate the removable cap member anticlockwise until the desired graduation is exposed;
3. rotate the rotatable inner member to the open position (i.e. with aligned ports with those of the fixed member) and view the contents filling the cap (if the removable cap member is transparent);
4. once filled, take the aligned ports out of alignment by rotating the inner member; and
5. unscrew the removable cap fully and use the metered dose contained therein." It is believed that the outlet metering assembly in accordance with the present invention and a container using the same should find widespread acceptance in the dispensing of particularly powders.
