Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a liquid container with a flexible holder, provided with a discharge opening, and a closing device, from which flexible holder, when being deformed, liquid in the container can be taken out.
  • Such a liquid container is known and is used to take a viscous liquid out of the container by squeezing and subsequently deforming the flexible holder, while holding the liquid container with the discharge opening directed downwardly.
  • the known liquid containers are provided with a closing device by means of which the discharge opening is closed when the liquid container is not in use, which discharge opening is released by removing the closing device.
  • the disadvantage of the known liquid containers is that when squeezing the flexible holder is stopped, while the liquid container is still in a position with the discharge opening directed downwardly, liquid will drip for a short time. To avoid such a dripping after having stopped squeezing the flexible holder, the liquid container must immediately brought into a position with the discharge opening directed upwardly. This, however, slows down a repeated taking out of liquid.
  • the purpose of the invention is to obviate the above disadvantages and to provide for a liquid container with a simple, cheap and reliable construction.
  • the liquid container as described in the opening paragraph is characterized in that the container is closed by a siphon trap.
  • the liquid container can be put on a carrier plane with the discharge opening directed downwardly, so that when the liquid container is seized and the holder is squeezed, the liquid flows out of the liquid container. After that squeezing of the holder is stopped, the liquid container can be put on a plane again with the discharge opening directed downwardly. By the siphon trap no further liquid will flow out of the container.
  • the closing device comprises a cap, and the siphon trap is formed by the cap and an inner necklike part, connected with the container.
  • the inner necklike part fits in a neck part of the container and is provided with one or more openings.
  • the cap can be provided with a neck part which fits around said inner necklike part.
  • other connections between the inner necklike part and the neck part of the container and between the inner necklike part and the neck part of the cap are possible, e.g. by a screwed pipe connection.
  • the width of the opening in the siphon trap may be such that, when the liquid container is hold with the discharge opening directed downwardly and taking into account the viscosity of the liquid in the container, only by deformation of the flexible holder liquid is dispensed out of the container.
  • a liquid container comprises a flexible holder 1 with a neck part 2, a closing device 3 with a cap 4 and an inner necklike part 5.
  • the holder can be formed by a collapsible tube, a bottle of synthetic material or suchlike units.
  • the cap is provided with a neck part 6.
  • the liquid container is closed by a siphon trap 7 formed by the cap 4 and the inner necklike part 5.
  • the inner neck part 5 fits in the neck part 2 of the flexible holder 1, while the neck part 6 of the cap 4 fits around the inner necklike part 5.
  • the inner necklike part 5 is fixed in the neck part 2 of the flexible holder 1 and provided with one or more openings 8.
  • the cap 4 is fixed around the inner necklike part 5.
  • the cap 4 has an inner bushlike element 9, which, when the cap 4 is fixed around the inner necklike part 5, extends partly in a bushlike part 10 of the inner necklike part 5.
  • the siphon trap 7 is formed by the cap 4 and the inner necklike part 5. More particularly, the siphon trap 7 is formed by the bushlike elements 9 and 10. Between both bushlike elements 9 and 10 an opening 11 is provided, the width of which is depending on e.g. the viscosity of the liquid in the container. When the liquid container is not is use, the discharge opening 12 of the container can be closed by a cover, not shown in the figures.
