A film (26) is sealed to the edge (11b) of the collar so as to close the sack (13) hermetically after it has been filled. A delivery duct (28) is slidable axially between a first position in which its end (32) is spaced from the film (26) and a second position in which it is coaxially within the axial passage (10) in the collar (11) after the film (26) has been cut.
Description
- The present invention relates to a dispenser for viscous products such as, for example, juices or edible creams in which the container is pressed resiliently to deliver the product and released in order to stop the delivery.
- In particular, the invention relates to a dispenser of viscous products including an outer container extending along a longitudinal axis which is generally arranged vertically, having at least one lateral wall which is resiliently deformable, its bottom being closed and its top having an aperture defined by a peripheral rim, a flexible sack arranged inside the outer container, the sack having a mouth and being intended to contain the viscous product, a plate element arranged across the aperture at the top of the container and fixed to the peripheral rim thereof, the plate element having an axial passage parallel to the longitudinal axis of the outer container and provided with a collar having one edge facing into the outer container and one edge facing outwardly thereof, the sack being sealed to the collar around its mouth, a head having an internal delivery duct for the viscous product, provided at one end with an outlet orifice and at its opposite end with an inlet orifice aligned with the axial passage through the plate element, the head being fixable to the top of the outer container, a first one-way valve member arranged in the viscous-product delivery duct to open towards the delivery orifice, and a second one-way valve member opening towards the interior of the outer container.
- Dispensers of the type described above are illustrated and described, for example, in the United States Patents No. 4,469,250, No. 4,909,416 and No. 4,842,165.
- However these may not properly be used for food products since they do not provide for air-tight sealing of the mouth of the sack inside the container and therefore are unable to give the product a sufficiently long shelf life before unacceptable alteration sets in.
- The object of the present invention is to provide a dispenser of the type described above which allows the mouth of the sack to be sealed hermetically after the sack has been filled and which is provided with means for opening the said mouth when the dispenser is used for the first time. This object is achieved by a dispenser according to the claims which will follow.
- The invention will now be described in greater detail with reference to a preferred embodiment, given purely by way of non-limitative example and illustrated in the appended drawings, in which:
- Figure 1 is a partially sectioned perspective view of the dispenser according to the invention;
- Figure 2 is a longitudinal section of the dispenser of Figure 1 in a sealed condition;
- Figure 3 is a section like that of Figure 2 but with the dispenser no longer sealed; and
- Figure 4 is a section taken on the line IV-IV of Figure 3.
- With reference to the drawings, an
outer container 1 is made of plastics material, for example, a polyolefin. - The
container 1 is substantially elliptical in plan and has a closed bottom 2 which serves as a support base and atop 3 with anaperture 4 defined by arim 5. - The
container 1 extends along a longitudinal axis X-X, which is generally arranged vertically, and at least one of itswalls 6 and 7, with a greater radius of curvature, is resiliently deformable when pressed from the exterior, for example by the fingers of a user's hand. - A
plate element 8, also of plastics material, extends across theaperture 4 and is fixed by itsperipheral edge 9 to therim 5 defining theaperture 4. - This
plate element 8 has apassage 10, coaxial with the axis X-X, around which is fixed acoaxial collar 11 which has oneedge 11a facing inwardly of thecontainer 1 and theother edge 11b facing outwardly. - The
mouth 12 of a flexible sack for containing the product to be delivered, for example tomato paste, is fixed, for example by sealing, to the outer surface of thecollar 11. Thesack 13 is generally made of laminated film, of which the inner layer is of a heat-sealable material compatible with that of thecollar 11. - The circumference of the
sack 13 is such that, once it has been filled with the viscous product to be dispensed and is distended to its maximum size, there is aninterspace 14 between the sack and the wall of theouter container 1. - A
support 15 is also fixed to theplate element 8 and, in the embodiment illustrated, is in the form of an annular element coaxial with thecollar 11 and fixed to its inner wall. A pair of resiliently divergentopposed legs support 15 into thesack 13 with theirends sack 13 to distend it towards theouter container 1, the legs maintaining the sack under tension, from the inside towards the outside, even as the sack empties as a result of the product being delivered. - The divergent force exerted by the
legs sack 13 in a peripheral zone substantially halfway along the longitudinal extent of thecontainer 1 and in a direction substantially perpendicular to the axis X-X. - The
ends legs container 1 and each extends upwardly through a predetermined distance parallel to the axis X-X. The legs may also be connected by anannular element 20. - As seen in Figures 2 and 3 in particular, one-way valve members are also fixed to the
plate element 8 and are provided to allow air to flow into thecontainer 1 from the external environment as a result of the suction created by the resilient return of the walls of thecontainer 1 on completion of a delivery of the product. - These valve means are schematically indicated 21 and may, for example, be of the type described in the European Patent Application No. 92105510.9.
- The
plate element 8 also hasholes 22 around thecollar 11 for putting thespace 14 between thesack 13 and thecontainer 1 in communication with the atmosphere during filling of the sack. - The
holes 22 are then sealed by theend 23 of atubular element 24 which is housed in the annular groove formed between arib 25 of theplate element 8 and the outer surface of thecollar 11. - On the
edge 11b of thecollar 11 is ahermetic sealing film 26 of a material which is highly impermeable to gas, for example of the same type as the material of thesack 13, thisfilm 26 being sealed, in a conventional manner, right round theedge 11b after thesack 13 has been filled. - The dispenser according to the invention also has a head, generally indicated 27, snap-engaged with the
top 3 of thecontainer 1. The head includes within it thetubular element 24 and adelivery duct 28 provided with adelivery orifice 29 at oneend 30 and with aninlet orifice 31 at itsopposite end 32. - The
delivery duct 28 is slidable in thehead 27 and is guided for axial movement in thetubular element 24 byradial guide projections 33 which centre theend 32 within theaxial passage 10 through theplate element 8. Thisend 32 is cut at an oblique angle to the axis X-X and has acutting edge 32a. - The
delivery duct 28 is movable axially from a first position, shown in Figures 1 and 2, in which thecutting edge 32a is spaced from thesealing film 26, to a second position, shown in Figure 3, in which theend 32 lies coaxially within thecollar 11 providing a radial seal and thecutting edge 32a has pierced thefilm 26. - In this second position, determined by the abutment of the
guide projections 33 with theedge 11b of thecollar 11, theinlet orifice 31 is in communication with theaxial passage 10 in theplate element 8, thereby permitting delivery of the product contained in thesack 13. - Upstream of the
delivery orifice 29, thedelivery duct 28 is provided with a one-way valve member which opens towards the delivery orifice itself. This valve member comprises adisc 34 made, for example, of polypropylene and pivotable about apoint 35 at which it is connected to aring 36 which bears sealingly against acircular crown 37 on which the disc rests in its sealing position. - The dimensions of the
hinge point 35 are adapted so as to keep thedisc 34 in its closed position under rest conditions. - Finally, the
head 27 includes aconventional screw cap 38 with a projection 39 for closing thedelivery orifice 29. - A conventional
security tear strip 41 with agrip tab 42 is arranged between thecap 38 and thetop 40 of thehead 27. The axial extent of thestrip 41 is such as to maintain thedelivery duct 28 in its raised position and thus ensures the integrity of thesealing film 26 and hence the hermetic sealing of thesack 13 containing the product to be dispensed. - It should be noted that the dispenser according to the invention ensures that the product is maintained in a good condition for a lengthy period before it is first opened. The product is in fact contained entirely within the heat-sealed laminated
films collar 11 which also ensures a high impermeability due to its considerable thickness. - It should also be noted that the environment containing the product has no movable couplings between separate parts which always create problems in ensuring an effective air-tight seal and maintaining this over a period of time.
- The operation of the dispenser according to the invention is clear from the preceding description: after the
security strip 41 has been removed, thedelivery duct 28 is moved axially until theguide projections 33 bear against theedge 11b of thecollar 11. During this movement, thesealing film 26 is cut by thecutting edge 32a and theend 32 of thedelivery duct 28 is inserted coaxially into thecollar 11 to form a seal. - In this way continuity is provided between the
passage 10 and the inlet orifice of theduct 28. After thescrew cap 38 has been removed, the dispenser is ready to deliver the product. This is done in a conventional manner by the application of pressure to theresilient walls 6, 7. This compresses thesack 13 and the pair ofresilient spreader legs - In this way a specific quantity of creamy product is pushed past the one-
way valve 34, which opens, to thedelivery orifice 29. - When the pressure on the
walls 6, 7 of thecontainer 1 is released and they return to their normal positions, the pair ofspreader legs sack 13 and return it under tension to the maximum diameter allowed by the transverse dimensions of thesack 13 itself without coming into contact with the inner surfaces of thewalls 6 and 7 of thecontainer 1. - At the same time, while the
disc 34 closes against thesupport ring 36, thevalve 21 allows air present in thecavity 27a of thehead 27, which is not sealed along its outer periphery, to enter thecontainer 1 and to reach even the region below thesack 13, through thespace 14.
