Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the design of a washing-up liquid bottle or the like, consisting of a compressible container and of a dosage member located at the upper end of the bottle and permitting closure of the container.
  • a difference between the washing-up liquid bottle according to the present invention and bottles now available in the market is that the former includes both a dosage device and a dipping basin.
  • the new one can, when a small amount of dishes is to be washed up, be left on the zinc unit without any need to lift it up thanks to the possibility to, by a slight compression of the bottle, fill the dipping basin at the top of the bottle with the desired volume of washing-up agent.
  • the presence there of the liquid makes it possible conveniently to wash up e.g. a coffee cup or a butter knife by simply dipping a dishbrush somewhat into the liquid and then washing the article in question.
  • a prior art dosage bottle of a similar type is disclosed in US 3,921,860. It includes a pipe for the agent which is to be pumped up to the dipping basin and to be used for cleaning the teats of animals. In that case the pipe is located inside the dipping basin proper.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide an arrangement of a washing-up agent bottle of the type mentioned above at which the drawbacks from which the prior art bottles are suffering have been eliminated.
  • the features characterizing the invention are set out in the subsequent claims. Thanks to the invention there has now been provided a washing- up agent bottle which in an excellent manner satisfies the requirements and, at the same time, is both cheap and simple to manufacture.
  • the mode of operation of the bottle according to the invention can be summarized in the following way. One does first compress the bottle somewhat in order to fill the dipping basin to the level desired as determined by the washing-up work to be performed.
  • the dipping basin is designed in a very suitable way permitting a predetermined amount of water and washing agent to be mixed therein with a simultaneous stirring by use of a dish-brush, resulting in a suitable mixing ratio agent -water without the presence of any pipes for supplying the agent which could prevent such stirring.
  • this has been solved in such a way that the delivery pump tube is entirely enclosed in the lateral wall of the dipping basin.
  • the lid of the dosage device has been given such a shape that it can be folded away from the dipping basin when opened. This protects the lid from being smeared by the dish-brush which could make it difficult to close the lid so that it covers the delivery opening of the bottle.
  • the amount of material required in the manufacturing process is reduced as compared with the larger lids covering all of the dosage basins, e.g. as shown in the above-mentioned US patent specification.
  • FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic perspective view showing a first embodiment of the invention and illustrating a washing-up agent bottle in its closed position
  • Fig. 2 is a diagrammatic perspective view illustrating an alternative embodiment wherein the lid of the bottle is in a closing position above the dosage member
  • Fig. 3 shows the bottle in fig. 2 with its lid open
  • Fig. 4 is a diagrammatic perspective view of the upper portion of the bottle illustrated in Figs. 2 and 3,
  • Fig. 5 does, on a magnified scale and in a cross-sectional view, show the dosage device and its lid
  • Fig. 6 is a perspective view illustrating how the dipping basin of the bottle can be used for mixing e.g. washing up agent and water.
  • the washing-up agent bottle 1 does, according to two illustrated, preferred embodiments of the invention, consist of a compressible container 2 and of a dosage device 3, located at the upper portion 3 of the container 2 and adapted to close the container which, in addition to the two shapes illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2, may assume any suitable shape, such as square, ovale, hexagonal etc .
  • the dosage device 4 has an opening 5 leading to a bowl -shaped dipping basin 6 in the upper portion 3.
  • the dipping basin 6 is intended to receive a predetermined amount of a washing-up agent or the like, said amount being readable on a scale or graduation 7 on the lateral wall of the basin 6.
  • the dipping basin 6 has a shape adapted to the shape of a dish-brush 16 or the like.
  • the dosage opening 5 is, in a way which is known per se and more closely illustrated in Fig. 2, connected to a pipe 17 extending downwards into the interior of the container 2 for the purpose of feeding up a washing agent or the like to the dipping basin 6 upon compression of the container 2.
  • the opening 5 can be closed by means of a lid 9.
  • lid 9 is bent at an angle and by means of a hinge 18 pivotably mounted at a lateral portion 10 of the dipping basin 6 forming a spout 11 and an oppositely located collar 12 which both defines the basin 6 and supports the lid 9.
  • a hinge 18 pivotably mounted at a lateral portion 10 of the dipping basin 6 forming a spout 11 and an oppositely located collar 12 which both defines the basin 6 and supports the lid 9.
  • lid 9 In its closed position lid 9 is in sealing contact with the collar 12 and, at the same time, its free, angled portion 13, having a bead 14 projecting therefrom, does press against and close the opening 5 when hook means 19, 20 have by a snapping action been received in recesses 21, 22 at both sides of the opening 5.
  • lid 9 is flush-mounted in the collar 12 thereby creating a continuous contour for the bowl -shaped portion of the bottle 1 in the position which lid 9 assumes when closed.
  • Lid 9 may also on its bottom surface 26 have guide means 24,25 cooperating with recesses 27,28 in the collar 12.
  • the mode of operation of the bottle according to the present invention is as follows. As appears from figs. 1 and 3 a washing-up agent or some other liquid is by pumping or compression manually fed up to the dipping basin 6 when lid 9 has been opened. With the aid of graduation 7 it is possible exactly to determine the amount of liquid which has been supplied. That liquid can then be mixed with water or with some other liquid in the dipping basin which in that case also serves as a mixing basin. The ready-mixed liquid can then via the spout 11 be poured out from the basin 6 since, thanks the design of the lid 9, the dosage device 4, now closed, does efficiently prevent the liquid remaining in the container 2 from pouring or leaking out.
  • the chief field of use of the container 2 is in connection with washing-up agents but, naturally, it can also be used with other liquids which are to be dosed and/or mixed whereupon the liquid can be poured out of the basin 6, if desired.

Le dispositif de dosage (4) présente une ouverture (5) qui conduit à un bassin d'immersion en forme de cuvette (6) dans la partie supérieure (3). L' ouverture (5) peut être fermée par un capuchon (9) qui la recouvre. La partie supérieure (3) possède une partie (10) supérieure qui définit le bassin d'immersion (6) et qui comporte un collier (12) qui définit le bassin d'immersion (6) et soutient en pivotant le couvercle (9), qui lorsqu'il se trouve en position fermée, est en contact étanche avec le collier (12) et garde l' ouverture (5) fermée grâce à une bande (14) qui se projette depuis son côté inférieur, lorsque le système de fixation (19, 20) situé à l'extrémité (15) du couvercle (9) a été enclenché par une pression dans les évidements (21, 22) de la partie supérieure (3) du récipient (2).
