Definitions

  • This invention relates to a device for the controlled delivery of substances contained in yieldable tubes, ie metal or plastics tubes which can be squeezed to obtain the delivery of the substance via a delivery mouth provided with a cap.
  • the device according to the invention can be used for dispensing any substance of fluid behaviour, or a pasty substance, but is particularly suitable for use in dispensing adhesive or glue.
  • the overall object of the present invention is to obviate the aforesaid drawbacks by providing a device which enables a substance of fluid and/or pasty behaviour contained in a yieldable tube to be delivered with extreme accuracy to the required point and in the required quantity with absolute cleanliness, and by which the substance contained in the tube can be used completely.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a device with a cover which provides protection against the handling of the tube by children.
  • a device for the controlled delivery of liquid and/or pasty substances contained in a yieldable tube characterised by comprising: a gripper element provided with jaws for receiving said tube between them, a casing containing said gripper element the jaws of which are accessible through apertures provided in opposing walls of the casing, and a delivery nozzle applied to the mouth of said tube, which extends through an axial opening in said casing.
  • the jaws of the gripper element consist of two opposing surfaces hinged together at one end and each provided with a pressing pad projecting through the apertures of the casing, which is box-like.
  • said delivery nozzle is screwed onto said tube mouth and is provided with a closure cap. completely, as manually squeezing the tube does not allow it to be totally expelled unless great care is taken and every point of the yieldable tube is squeezed systematically.
  • the overall object of the present invention is to obviate the aforesaid drawbacks by providing a device which enables a substance of fluid and/or pasty behaviour contained in a yieldable tube to be delivered with extreme accuracy to the required point and in the required quantity with absolute cleanliness, and by which the substance contained in the tube can be used completely.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a device with a cover which provides protection against the handling of the tube by children.
  • a device for the controlled delivery of liquid and/or pasty substances contained in a yieldable tube characterised by comprising: a gripper element provided with jaws for receiving said tube between them, a casing containing said gripper element the jaws of which are accessible through apertures provided in opposing walls of the casing, and a delivery nozzle applied to the mouth of said tube, which extends through an axial opening in said casing.
  • the jaws of the gripper element consist of two opposing surfaces hinged together at one end and each provided with a pressing pad projecting through the apertures of the casing, which is box-like.
  • said delivery nozzle is screwed onto said tube mouth and is provided with a closure cap.
  • a closure cover providing protection against undesirable handling by children is snap-fitted to said casing to cover said delivery nozzle when provided with its cap.
  • the device of the invention is indicated overall by 10 and consists structurally of a box casing 11 comprising two half-casings 12, 13 joined together by pins 14.
  • Said casing 11 contains a gripper element 15 consisting of a pair of jaws comprising two opposing surfaces 16 hinged together at 17 and provided with respective pressing pads 18.
  • Said gripper element is contained within the casing 11 with the hinge 17 housed in suitable cradles 19, and with the pressing pads 18 projecting through apertures 20 provided in opposing surfaces of the half-casings 12, 13.
  • the gripper element 15 is arranged to receive between its jaws a yieldable tube 21 the threaded mouth 22 of which extends through an axial opening 23 in the casing 11.
  • a delivery nozzle 24 provided with a closure cap 25 which is applied to the nozzle 24 via a snap connection 26, 27.
  • the nozzle 24 is also provided with a peg 31 for piercing the closure diaphragm of the mouth 22.
  • the reference numeral 28 indicates a cover which when the cap 25 has been replaced on the delivery nozzle 24 is mounted over this latter as shown in Figure 2, to removably snap-engage the casing 11 via teeth 29, which yield elastically on pressing the lateral surfaces 30 of the cover.
  • the gripper element 15 also enables the tube 21 to be completely emptied, allowing total use of the substance contained in it.
  • the substance delivered through the nozzle 24 does not soil the surrounding parts and the provision of the cap 25 prevents the substance from drying, so allowing immediate reuse of the tube.
  • the safety cover 28 prevents undesirable handling of the substance contained in the tube, which may be dangerous if ingested by children.
