Definitions

  • This invention relates to a dispenser for liquid material, such as shoe polish, as defined in the pre-characterizing part of claim 1.
  • a dispenser for nail polish having the same characteristics is disclosed in DE-U-8 713 273.
  • the annular space communicates with the central cavity by the bottom passage and moreover by pressure equalizing holes in the inner wall.
  • a drawback of shoe polish dispensers of the above described type is that after some time drying out of the applicator will occur due to evaporation. Another drawback is that it is difficult when dipping a material-receiving end of an applicator into a mass of liquid material, to always absorb a controlled small amount of the material, such as a small amount of shoe polish for spreading it on a shoe surface.
  • the nail polish dispenser according to DE-U-8713273 has the same drawback since the material receiving part of the applicator is a small brush which remains fully immersed in liquid polish filling the central cavity to the same level as in the annular space.
  • the container always dispenses so much liquid through the passage to the adjoining space that a hydrostatic equilibrium condition is reached with a low liquid level in the adjoining space and a much higher level in the container, wherein a subatmospheric pressure prevails above the liquid.
  • a subatmospheric pressure prevails above the liquid.
  • said applicator having at its lower end an end portion receiving material through absorption, in particular a sponge having substantially the same diameter as the central cavity, in such a manner that when the container is closed the sponge is in contact with the container bottom.
  • a dispenser of this type can be manufactured with a loose bottom plate at low cost, e.g. by injection molding. After combining the applicator and the container without the bottom, the dispenser can be filled in the upside down position after which the bottom plate is fitted.
  • the applicator there is a screw closure between the applicator and the container, and in the screwed-in position of the applicator the sponge is compressed against the container bottom through a distance at least equal to the screw-in distance.
  • the sponge In the closed condition of the dispenser, the sponge is always immersed in liquid and, consequently, cannot dry out.
  • the passage from the container to the central cavity is annular and is bounded on the one hand by the bottom plate and on the other hand by a sharp scraper edge extending inwardly from the lower end of the inner wall of the container, by means of which drop formation at the sponge is prevented as the applicator is being taken out.
  • the inner wall of the container is formed with a wider upper portion which is connected through an inclined transition to a narrower lower portion, and the applicator is provided above the sponge with a resilient annular edge projecting therefrom, which in unloaded condition has an outside dimension larger than the inside dimension of the narrower lower portion of the container inner wall, as the applicator is being screwed in, the resilient annular edge slides over the inclined transition between the broader and the narrower portion of the container inner wall and ensures an airtight closure of the liquid in the central cavity.
  • the applicator is further provided with a grip cap having a free outer edge which, in the screwed-in position of the applicator, abuts sealingly against a corresponding shoulder formed in the outer wall of the container.
  • Such a dispenser functions excellently as long as the container is kept upright when the dispenser is open. It is therefore recommendable for the container, when in use to be placed on a flat base, for if the container is canted over while the applicator is being removed from the container, air can penetrate the container and the hydrostatic equilibrium is discontinued temporarily and when the container is again placed in vertical position, equilibrium is established at too high a liquid level in the central cavity.
  • the annular passage between the container and the central cavity can be shut off by a plate having a larger diameter than the central cavity and being an axially sliding fit in a cavity formed in the container bottom, and which plate is spring-biased towards the lower edge of the container inner wall, with the applicator being fitted with an extension extending through the sponge, by means of which, with the applicator being in the screwed-in position, the closure plate can be pressed downwards against spring action for clearing the passage.
  • the passage between the container and the central cavity is shut off by the plate as soon as the applicator is removed from the central cavity. Even if the container is inclined, no polish can flow in.
  • At least one of the coacting threaded portions can be made resilient, e.g. from elastomeric material.
  • the sponge can be dipped into the liquid at the bottom of the central cavity by axial compression of the applicator.
  • An alternative, constructively chearper embodiment preventing polish from flowing from the container to the central cavity when the open dispenser is canted over is that wherein a baffle is provided in the bottom zone underneath a cover plate, which baffle extends from a position at the container outer wall with a spiral portion to the diametrically opposite side of the container inner wall and which, with a following portion, follows the contour of the container inner wall and terminates within the corner zone comprised by the spiral portion.
  • the dispenser is composed of a container 1 and an applicator 2 connectable thereto by a screw thread 3 to close container 1. It is clear that other closing mechanisms, such as a bayonet fit, can in principle be used.
  • the container has a cylindrical outer wall 4 merging via a closed upper wall 5 into a cylindrical inner wall 6, which is connected through an inclined transition 7 to a narrowed lower portion 8 having a sharp, inwardly extending, lower scraper edge 9.
  • the container is closable at its lower end with a bottom wall 10.
  • the cylindrical outer container wall 4 has a shoulder 11 at the transition to an upper wall 5.
  • a reservoir 12 Disposed between the concentric container walls 4 and 6 is a reservoir 12 which communicates via a passage 13 between scraper edge 9 and bottom plate 10 with an adjoining space, in this case a central cavity 14.
  • the applicator 2 consists of a shank 15 having a projecting resilient annular edge 16 above a material-receiving end, in this case a sponge 17 having substantially the same diameter as central cavity 14.
  • applicator 2 For intermediate dipping of sponge 17, applicator 2 need not always be screwed in, because, as shown on the right in Fig. 1, in the non-compressed state sponge 17 is long enough to reach bottom 10.
  • Figs. 2A and 2B show container 1 in opened condition, upright, and in an inclined position.
  • air can flow into container space 12, so that the hydrostatic equilibrium is disturbed.
  • a level will adjust itself in central cavity 14 that is higher than the level 20 shown in Fig. 1. The unwanted result is that when the sponge is dipped, too much polish is absorbed.
  • FIG. 4 A variant embodiment which is insensitive to the tilting of an opened container is shown in Fig. 4, wherein corresponding parts are indicated by like reference numerals as in Figs. 1-3.
  • This variant embodiment is distinct from the embodiment shown in Figs. 1-3 by the presence of a closing plate 23 having a larger diameter than central cavity 14 and being received in a cavity 24 formed in the bottom 10′, in which cavity 24 plate 23 is slidable and is loaded upwards by a spring 25. Furthermore, the applicator is provided with an extension 26 engaging with plate 23 and in the embodiment shown, the screw thread 3′ is made at least partly, of resilient material, e,g. an elastomer.
  • FIG. 5-6D An alternative embodiment wherein tilting of the container does not disturb the hydrostatic equilibrium either, but in which this effect is achieved otherwise, i.e. without moving parts, is shown in Figs. 5-6D. Again, corresponding parts are designated by like reference numerals as in Fig. 1.
  • baffle 27 extends between cover 28 and container bottom 10, with a spiral portion 30 from a position 29 at the container outer wall 4 to a position 31 at the diametrically opposite side of the container inner wall 6 and follows with an arcuate portion 32 the contour of the container inner wall 6 to a position 33 within the corner zone ( ⁇ ) enclosed by spiral portion 30.
  • baffle 27 forms a kind of water seal which, on the convex side of spiral portion 30, at the end 34 of cover 28, communicates with container space 12 and on the concave side of the spiral portion 30, is in open communication with central cavity 14 through the - restricted - passage 13′.
  • Figs. 7-10 show variants of the embodiment shown in Fig. 5, which have in common with this embodiment that baffle 27 underneath cover plate 28 has a curved portion, extending at least substantially concentrically with the container inner wall and which is connected to the container inner wall 6 and/or to the container outer wall 4 in such a manner that between the bottom 10 of container 1 and cover plate 28, there is formed near the or each baffle 27 a kind of water seal that communicates on the convex side of baffle 27 with container space 12 and on the concave side with container inner space 14.
