Definitions

  • the present invention relates to containers. Specifically, the present invention relates to easy operating containers.
  • the present invention relates to a container comprising a body, a foam pump, a nozzle and a hand rest.
  • the body of the container has a top end and a bottom end.
  • the pump of the container has an upper end and a lower end. The lower end of the pump is connected to the top end of the body.
  • the nozzle is connected to the upper end of the pump. Also, the nozzle comprising a finger position thereupon.
  • the hand rest is located between the nozzle and the body for allowing one finger operation to push the upper end of the pump when the body is held at one hand.
  • the hand rest is an oval projection, which minimum diameter is orientated in substantially the same direction as the dispersing orifice.
  • the term “comprising” and its derivatives means are intended to be open ended terms that specify the presence of the stated feature, elements, component, groups, integers, and/or steps, but do not exclude the presence of other, unstated features, elements, components, groups, integers, and/or steps.
  • This definition also applies to words of similar meaning, for example, the term “have”, “include”, “be provided with” and their derivatives. This term encompasses the terms “consisting of” and “consisting essentially of”.
  • one finger operation means that a nozzle is pushed by one finger selected from a thumb, an index finger, and the middle finger without slipping the nozzle, bottle and/or finger.
  • the shape of the body 200 of the present invention is not limited to any particular shape.
  • the unrestricted example of the shape of the body 200 can be an elongated tube, cone or partial cone.
  • the material of the body 200 of the present invention may be, for example, plastic, resin, glass, metal or combinations thereof.
  • the body 200 has a top end 210 and bottom end 220.
  • the pump 300 has an upper end 310 and a lower end 320 and which is connected to the top end 210 of the body 200.
  • the pump 300 of the present invention is a foam pump.
  • Preferred foam pumps are available from Air Spray Corporation (Alkmaar, Netherland), K&K Corporation (Osaka, Japan), Keltee Corporation (Druen, Netherland).
  • Preferred liquid pumps are available from Air Spray Corporation, Yoshino Seisakusho Kabushiki Kaisha (Tokyo, Japan), Toyo Scikan Kabushiki Kaisha (Tokyo, Japan).
  • the pump material may be, for example, plastics, resins, glass, metal or combinations thereof.
  • the hand rest 500 is located between the nozzle 400 and the body 200 for allowing one finger operation to, push the upper end 310 of the pump 300 when the body 200 is held with one hand.
  • the hand rest 500 can be in any form as long as the hand rest 500 can allow one finger operation.
  • the hand rest 500 is a projection.
  • the hand rest 500 shown in Fig. 1 is a preferred example of a projection.
  • the minimum diameter 530 of the hand rest 500 is from 10 mm to 100 mm, preferably, from 20 mm to 60 mm. If the minimum diameter is too big, users may not be able to hold the container If the minimum diameter is too small, users feel difficulty to push the nozzle since all finger is placing too close, However, this situation can be avoided by having big enough minimum diameter for tube hand rest, so that user can adjust the holding position.
  • An initial radius of curvature of the inside of the hand rest 500 is from 0.1 mm to 80 mm, preferably from 0.1 mm to 24 mm, more preferably, from 5.5 mm to 12 mm.
  • a radius or curvature is defined in Dictionary of Plastic Technology, p684, published by Kabushiki Kaisha Kogyo Chosakai in 1994 . According to the reference, a radius of curvature is defined as a circle radius which is the most closest to the given curve at the given point on the curve. The initial radius is shown in Fig. 1 .
  • Fig. 2 shows a preferred embodiment of the container of the present invention having a body and a hand rest which is a projection.
