Definitions
- the present invention is related to containers provided with a means for attaching a sprayer to the container, when the sprayer is not in use.
- Sprayers for distributing pesticides or other fluids are often provided together with a large container to which the sprayer can be connected through a tube, so that liquid present in the container may be pumped up and sprayed.
- Documents US-A-6508410 and EP-A-583902 show examples of this kind of combination, in particular of the way in which the sprayer is attached to the container, when the sprayer is not in use.
- the first document shows a mounting member installed underneath the screwed-on cap, into which member the sprayer can be inserted.
- the second document shows a container with a recess in its side, so that a sprayer with a suitable form may be placed in the recess. Neither of these systems provides a means for securing the sprayer before its first use.
- This problem is related to the displaying of the products in stores or supermarkets, where it is to be avoided that customers take the sprayers out of the holder.
- a security against theft of the sprayers is not provided.
- the present invention aims to provide a holder to be attached to a container for securing a sprayer to the side of the container, which allows to see evidence that the product has been tampered with, and which is also easier to assemble.
- the present invention is related to products such as described in the appended claims.
- Fig. 1 represents a view of the assembly of a container and a sprayer, using a holder according to the invention.
- Fig. 2 represents a detailed view of the holder.
- Fig. 3 represents a plan view of the holder.
- Fig. 4 represents a frontal view and plan view of the container.
- Figure 1 shows an assembly of a container 1, with a holder 2 attached to the side, and a sprayer 3 inserted and secured in said holder.
- the invention is related to the holder 2, to the combination of the container and holder, and to the combination of container, holder and sprayer.
- the holder 2 is shown in detail in fig. 2 .
- a plan view as seen from the direction of the arrow in fig.2 is shown in figure 3 .
- the holder is a plastic piece, preferably made of PolyPropylene PP MOPLEN-EP440N or PP ADSTIF-HA740N (both from Basell).
- the holder comprises a central part 4 which is to be attached to the container.
- this part is a rectangular or trapezium shaped, casing-like part 4, which can be slid over a rectangular or trapezium-shaped protrusion 5 on the side of the container, see figure 4 .
- the protrusion 5 has a narrow section 6 which is smaller in circumference than the top surface 7, so that the lips 8 of the holder are able to catch the sides of the protrusion.
- the holder is then finally clicked on by a bendable securing portion 9, which bends back when the holder is pushed down over the protrusion, and finally grabs the bottom rim of the protrusion, thus securing the holder to the container. Once the holder is attached to the container, it can be removed by bending back the securing portion 9 and sliding the holder upwards.
- the body of the holder consists of two rounded portions 10 and 11, extending away from the container, and portion-way encircling the space 12 into which the sprayer is to be placed.
- a securing means 13 which is a plastic strip, attached and integral to one of the rounded portions 11 at one end 14, and comprising an arrow-like end portion 15 at its other end.
- the arrow-like end portion can be inserted into an opening 16 present on the other rounded portion 10.
- the shape and material of the arrow-like end portion 15 and the opening 16 are such that the securing strip can be fixed by inserting the arrow-like end portion into the opening, until the straight part 17 of the arrow has passed through the opening, but the securing strip cannot be easily removed by the opposite movement, i.e. by moving the arrow-like end portion backwards through the opening.
- the arrow-like end portion 15 and the opening 16 provide a means for one end of the securing strip to be attached in an essentially non-removable way to one of the rounded portions 10,11.
- the connection can be made by one action, in this case inserting the arrow 15 in the opening 16, but it cannot easily be undone by the reverse action. It is clear that other closing systems with the same effect might be employed in stead of the arrow/opening combination of the
- the strip 13 is essentially a means to secure the sprayer before its first use. To remove a sprayer present in the holder, it is necessary to break off the securing strip. To this aim, the preferred embodiment shows a connection 18 between the strip and the rounded portion which is made sufficiently thin so that it can be broken off by hand. This way, the securing strip serves as a security against theft in the shops. Since taking out the sprayer requires breaking the strip, the product provides proof of tampering, in case the sprayer has been removed and subsequently replaced. Most importantly, the securing strip 13 is integral with the holder. In the production process, placing a sprayer attached to the container requires not more than three actions :
- the securing strip 13 is provided with a central indentation 19, which will ensure a lateral pressure is exerted on the sprayer, when it is placed in the holder, thus helping to keep the sprayer in place.
- the above merely describes the preferred embodiment.
- the main aspect of the invention concerns a holder with a securing strip 13 which cannot be opened without breaking the strip, and wherein the strip 13 is integral with the holder.
- the shape of the holder and the way in which it is attached to the container may differ from the above embodiment, without departing from the main scope of the invention.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention is related to containers provided with a means for attaching a sprayer to the container, when the sprayer is not in use.
- Sprayers for distributing pesticides or other fluids are often provided together with a large container to which the sprayer can be connected through a tube, so that liquid present in the container may be pumped up and sprayed. Documents
US-A-6508410 andEP-A-583902 - One product which is currently on the market takes a first step towards solving this problem. This is the "Triple Strike' Grass&Weed Killer from Spectracide, currently available on the US-market. This product provides a holder removably attached to the side of the container. The sprayer is inserted in the holder and secured with two plastic strips. The strips cannot be removed without being cut, so this product does provide some security against theft, along with proof that it has been tampered with.
- However, placing the strips, which are separate from the holder, is quite an elaborate action, which complicates the assembly of the product and therefore increases the production cost.
- The present invention aims to provide a holder to be attached to a container for securing a sprayer to the side of the container, which allows to see evidence that the product has been tampered with, and which is also easier to assemble.
- The present invention is related to products such as described in the appended claims.
-
Fig. 1 represents a view of the assembly of a container and a sprayer, using a holder according to the invention. -
Fig. 2 represents a detailed view of the holder. -
Fig. 3 represents a plan view of the holder. -
Fig. 4 represents a frontal view and plan view of the container. -
Figure 1 shows an assembly of acontainer 1, with aholder 2 attached to the side, and asprayer 3 inserted and secured in said holder. The invention is related to theholder 2, to the combination of the container and holder, and to the combination of container, holder and sprayer. - The
holder 2 according to the preferred embodiment of the invention, is shown in detail infig. 2 . A plan view as seen from the direction of the arrow infig.2 , is shown infigure 3 . The holder is a plastic piece, preferably made of PolyPropylene PP MOPLEN-EP440N or PP ADSTIF-HA740N (both from Basell). The holder comprises acentral part 4 which is to be attached to the container. In the embodiment offigure 2 , this part is a rectangular or trapezium shaped, casing-like part 4, which can be slid over a rectangular or trapezium-shaped protrusion 5 on the side of the container, seefigure 4 . The protrusion 5 has a narrow section 6 which is smaller in circumference than thetop surface 7, so that thelips 8 of the holder are able to catch the sides of the protrusion. The holder is then finally clicked on by a bendable securingportion 9, which bends back when the holder is pushed down over the protrusion, and finally grabs the bottom rim of the protrusion, thus securing the holder to the container. Once the holder is attached to the container, it can be removed by bending back thesecuring portion 9 and sliding the holder upwards. - The body of the holder consists of two
rounded portions space 12 into which the sprayer is to be placed. To one of these rounded portions is connected asecuring means 13, which is a plastic strip, attached and integral to one of therounded portions 11 at oneend 14, and comprising an arrow-like end portion 15 at its other end. The arrow-like end portion can be inserted into an opening 16 present on the otherrounded portion 10. The shape and material of the arrow-like end portion 15 and theopening 16 are such that the securing strip can be fixed by inserting the arrow-like end portion into the opening, until thestraight part 17 of the arrow has passed through the opening, but the securing strip cannot be easily removed by the opposite movement, i.e. by moving the arrow-like end portion backwards through the opening. Generally, the arrow-like end portion 15 and theopening 16 provide a means for one end of the securing strip to be attached in an essentially non-removable way to one of therounded portions arrow 15 in theopening 16, but it cannot easily be undone by the reverse action. It is clear that other closing systems with the same effect might be employed in stead of the arrow/opening combination of the - The
strip 13 is essentially a means to secure the sprayer before its first use. To remove a sprayer present in the holder, it is necessary to break off the securing strip. To this aim, the preferred embodiment shows aconnection 18 between the strip and the rounded portion which is made sufficiently thin so that it can be broken off by hand. This way, the securing strip serves as a security against theft in the shops. Since taking out the sprayer requires breaking the strip, the product provides proof of tampering, in case the sprayer has been removed and subsequently replaced. Most importantly, thesecuring strip 13 is integral with the holder. In the production process, placing a sprayer attached to the container requires not more than three actions : - attaching the holder over the protrusion 5 of the container,
- placing a sprayer in the space between the
rounded portions - clicking the arrow-
like end portion 15 into the opening 16.
The last step replaces the multiple actions required when the sprayer is to be secured by separate plastic strips, and thus allows to simplify the production process. - According to the preferred embodiment, the
securing strip 13 is provided with acentral indentation 19, which will ensure a lateral pressure is exerted on the sprayer, when it is placed in the holder, thus helping to keep the sprayer in place. - The above merely describes the preferred embodiment. The main aspect of the invention concerns a holder with a
securing strip 13 which cannot be opened without breaking the strip, and wherein thestrip 13 is integral with the holder. The shape of the holder and the way in which it is attached to the container may differ from the above embodiment, without departing from the main scope of the invention.
