By dispensers according to the invention,, can provide leakage-preventing sealing by the skirt section by using softer material.
Because counterpart is made of the parts that separate, the skirt section can not be in assembling process permanent deformation.Spherical top make distributor can not be placed the opposite way round up, this will keep the liquid of Continuous Contact to raise with sealing edge.As a result, roller can not become dry, thereby guarantees the remaining liquid of continuous dispensing.
On the other hand, the shape in skirt section is determined that by base portion therefore when not using, roller contacts with the skirt section forever.
As a result, on the circumferential edges between skirt section and the roller, do not have asymmetrical situation to take place, thereby form perfectly sealing.And according to the present invention, also avoided this shortcoming: roller is pressed with various dynamics by the user, is pressed on the base portion and is out of shape, and makes roller lose its optimum shape.Offset component provides the power of permanent compressing roller, and this power can be regulated, thereby after the long period, is pressed in any distortion that pressure on the same section of roller can not cause roller.Owing to adopted structure of the present invention according to portion, can near the edge, skirt section, form sealing, make the part that is hidden by the skirt section of roller keep wetting, and can directly use roller by thick liquid.Especially, this make it possible to distributor be placed to roller down towards, make roller wetted all the time and can not reveal the container that causes and run off.
According to a preferred embodiment, offset component comprises the elastic arm that links to each other and contact with roller with base portion.Base portion and elastic arm form one.Like this, form a central member, it matches with the part inwardly of roller, and the geomery stability that this helps the skirt section on the one hand is pressed onto roller in the skirt section on the other hand.
Although roller can be columniform, in a preferred embodiment, roller is spherical, and is made by hard material.
The combination in the skirt section of the ball of the dimensionally stable by such hard and soft conformal can provide a kind of extraordinary sealing.
This skirt section can comprise: sealing edge and the capillary channel (capillarygroove) of extending towards sealing edge.Such groove takes the liquid stream of liquid on the surface of roller to, makes that very most of quilt of roller surface is wetting continuously.
And preferably distributor has separable closed cap, is used to hide roller, stays the space that exists all the time between roller and the cap.As a result, this cap can not be pressed on the roller, makes roller can keep its shape.
In one embodiment, the skirt section is made by low density polyethylene (LDPE), polypropylene or flexible polypropylene, and this all is soft relatively material.Base portion and/or roller can be made by polypropylene.In a preferred embodiment, the skirt section comprises stiff wall, for example make by polypropylene, and, on this wall, be provided with the sealing edge of making by such as the encapsulant of TPE.
In another embodiment, this distributor comprises closed cap, is used to seal roller, and should comprise a substrate by the closure cap, be used for distributor with roller down towards placement.
