Definitions

  • This invention concerns a dispensing arrangement for liquid soap dispensing apparatus, which is improved concerning the operations of assembly within the apparatus, in connection with the supply cartridge or bag, as well as mounting of the dispensing valve therewithin.
  • a type of supplying arrangement which is becoming increasingly popular and is already widely used in liquid soap dispensers, uses disposable bags or cartridges, rather than refillable containers.
  • said disposable bags comprise a loose and shapeless plastic material container which is completely sealed except for a dispersing tube feeding to the outside and integral therewith, and usually to be disposed therewith after using. It should be noted that the cost of said tube cannot be disregarded in that it is provided with at least one dispensing valve which, as it is easily understood, one tries to provide in the most inexpensive way, although the results are not very satisfactory.
  • a dispensing arrangement for liquid soap dispensing apparatus provided with a check valve in the upper portion thereof, which is enclosed by an internally threaded nut having a surface which is wide enough to enable said arrangement to bear upon a special supporting member integral with the apparatus, said nut being internally threaded and being provided with a groove running around the whole perifery thereof, for possible insertion in a type of support embodied in a different way; a dispensing valve being provided at the opposite or lower end of the flexible material tube connecting the same to the upper check valve, said dispensing valve being comprised of a cartridge containing a compression spring and a displaceable sealing member bearing against a seat provided within said cartridge.
  • this type of dispensing member has the advantage that, in addition to being reusable for a number of supply cartridges, it requires simpler dispensing apparatus to be used with, and in particular the one making the subject of Patent Application No. MI91A001549 of the same applicant, in that the check valve function is built into said dispensing arrangement, and does not need to be performed by the dispenser.
  • dispensing arrangement 1 for liquid soap dispenser apparatus includes an elongated tubular member 10 of a resilient material, like for instance rubber, having mounted at the upper end thereof a check valve 12 provided with a poppet-shaped valve member 12. At the lower end of tube 10 there is provided a dispensing valve 14 adapted to retain the liquid from coming out when tube 10 is .not subjected to pressure, whereby the liquid thereabove is not compressed and cannot overcome the force of spring 15. Only in this case liquid can flow out of lower opening 20, while normally spring 15 biases displaceable ball-shaped or poppet-shaped movable member 16 to bear against seat 16a thereof, in order to interrupt a downward liquid flow through opening 17.
  • a dispensing valve 14 adapted to retain the liquid from coming out when tube 10 is .not subjected to pressure, whereby the liquid thereabove is not compressed and cannot overcome the force of spring 15. Only in this case liquid can flow out of lower opening 20, while normally spring 15 biases displaceable ball-shaped or poppet-shaped movable member 16 to bear against seat
  • the casing of valve 14 is a rigid cartrige 18 made for instance of a thermoplastic material, and which is introduced from the top, together with members 15 and 16 within tube 10, until it goes to abut, with a slight interference fit due to the resiliency of tube 10, against the lower end thereof, which is shown at 10a in Figure 1, having preferably a reduced cross section compared to the remaining portions of the tubular member.
  • the dispensing arrangement of this invention has a nut member 4 provided with a central recess 5 adapted to enable the member to be connected to protruding plug 3 of cartridge 2.
  • the wall surrounding said recess 5, within nut 4 has a thread 8 for threading engagement with plug 3 outer thread.
  • the bottom of said recess 5 has a disc-shaped area 7 provided with a center opening 13 for possibly receiving valve member 11 of check valve 12 when, being pushed upwards by the internal pressure of tube 10 being squashed, it prevents the liquid therewithin from flowing back upwards into supply cartridge 2.
  • the cross section of nut 4 is sufficiently wide to have a large enough bearing area against a support member, for instance a fork-shaped member provided inside the dispenser.
  • a support member for instance a fork-shaped member provided inside the dispenser.
  • a circumferential recess or groove 6 for possible insertion of the nut within a support member of said dispenser, which may be more suited to support the dispensing arrangement in such a way, than through a direct support of said nut.
  • a dispensing arrangement according to this invention should be apparent, in that it may be re-used many times, when cartridge 2 is replaced, which cartridge may be easily removed by unscrewing followed by screwing in of a new cartridge and by the insertion of the dispensing arrangement on the dispenser support.
  • the latter may be quite simple in construction, in that it is not required to be designed for the motion providing the check valve function, already included in the dispensing assembly.
  • nut 4 comprises a wide and secure bearing base, possibly with a clamping effect in slot 6, not only for the whole dispensing arrangement but also for cartridge 2, on a structure member (not shown) of the dispensing device, without incurring in those problems of position uncertainty which affect known dispensing arrangements, integral with the supply cartridges, and which are caused also by the fact that this type of dispenser with a built-in cartridge is usually less self-supporting.
