Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container with a pump, which is connected to a riser, which engages in the container to draw container contents and deliver it from the container, wherein in the wall of the container bottom a recessed central region is formed and the riser has such a length in that its free end engages in the recessed area.
  • the container is preferably a bottle with a bottle neck, without, however, limiting the invention to this type of container.
  • the container is preferably intended for receiving a liquid, but the container contents may also be a creamy substance.
  • the container is a small vial for dispensing eye and nose drops.
  • the container bottom has a central recess into which engages the riser.
  • DE 602 06 036 T2 discloses a generic container with a toric foot of considerable thickness, the inner surface of the floor having a conical surface, which opens into a central depression. Such a bottle is also in the WO 01/62626 A1 disclosed.
  • US 2006/0144868 A1 discloses a container having two parallel trough-shaped bottom portions on which the container rests. In addition, a central recess in the bottom wall is provided.
  • US 2005/0092777 A1 discloses a container containing a conical bottom wall with a central indentation. So that the container can stand, it is provided with a bottom cap. This is also the case of the CA 2 506 145 A1 the case.
  • EP 0 499 537 A1 and WO 98/08616 disclose containers with a bottom wall which is thick in relation to the container wall and which has a conical wall tapering towards a central recess.
  • EP 1 621 255 A1 discloses a container which is assembled with a bottom part and whose inner wall has a concave shape over a large area. The inner wall of the bottom part is supported by lower ribs, the FIG. 4 the publication shows.
  • US 2007/0181605 A1 discloses a container with a flat bottom surface having a central recess.
  • US 2008/0023499 A1 discloses a container with a convex bottom wall in which the residual liquid collects at the edge of the bottom.
  • US 3,409,181 A discloses a squeeze bottle which includes two intersecting recesses in its bottom wall which, when the liquid dispensing container is laterally squeezed together, are inclined to the central recessed area.
  • FIG. 4 illustrated initial state of the container, the two strip-shaped recesses extend obliquely outward.
  • FIG. 1 shows the container with an inserted riser. The lower end face of the riser is pressed against the bottom of the container so that the bottom wall is flat. In this state, the container is filled with liquid that can not escape unintentionally from the container, since the riser is sealed in its pressed against the bottom wall state. Only when the container is laterally compressed does the container bottom bulge, thereby spacing the riser from the central recess and discharging container contents through the riser as a result of the compression of the air in the container.
  • the present invention has for its object, an arrangement of container with pump and riser in such a way that the residual liquid is smaller than is the case with conventional containers.
  • the invention provides that in the recessed central region two strip-shaped depressions open in the wall of the container bottom, which extend inclined to the central recessed area.
  • the riser rests with its free end on the bottom of the recessed area, in which case it must be ensured that the liquid can enter the riser pipe to a sufficient extent.
  • the lower end of the riser beveled.
  • the residual liquid collects when almost the entire container contents has been dispensed, so that the riser pipe can almost completely suck this remaining amount from the recessed area. Numerous experiments have shown that this training, the residual liquid remaining in the container is only a fraction of the liquid remaining in a conventional container amount of liquid.
  • the recessed portion of the container bottom is located in the center of the container bottom, such that the riser extends straight from the suction side of the pump to the recessed portion.
  • the recessed area of the floor has a cross shape.
  • the strip-shaped grooves run diagonally to the trough-shaped center, the lowest point of the container bottom.
  • the recessed area lies in the middle of the floor and has a circular shape or the shape of a quadrangle or polygon. It is preferred that the surrounding bottom of the container extends slightly obliquely to the recessed area, so that the residual liquid can accumulate in the recess.
  • the recessed area is bounded by essentially vertical wall sections, without the invention being restricted thereto. These wall sections ensure that the free end of the riser, which is tuned in its length to the dimensions of the container, is trapped in the recessed area.
  • the container is advantageously made of plastic and may e.g. be prepared by extrusion blow molding, without the invention being limited to this material and said production method.
  • the recessed portion is formed at such a position that the riser has a straight course and is held in the recessed area, the container contents can be sucked and discharged completely unhindered by the riser. Should the riser have a small excess length and rest with its free end on the bottom of the recessed area and thereby slightly deflect laterally, caught in the recessed area, this does not affect the functionality and the ability to neglect the entire contents of the container except for one to spend small residual amount.
  • FIG. 1 shows the complete system, which consists essentially of a container 1, an atmospheric pump designated generally by the reference numeral 2, the details of which are not of interest here, and a riser 3, which is connected in a known manner to the pump.
  • the riser 3 extends straight from the suction inlet of the pump to the bottom 4 of the container, which is designed as a round bottle, at the bottleneck of the pump 2 is attached.
  • the bottom 4 of the bottle has a special bottom contour with a central recess 5, in which engages the free end of the riser 3 so that the riser pipe 3 is caught in this position by surrounding wall portion 6 of the soil. It shows FIG. 2 in that the free end of the riser pipe 3 is slightly spaced from the bottom of the recess 5 by a few tenths of a millimeter.
  • the bottom contour is best from the Figures 2 and 5 seen.
  • the area surrounding the recess 7 of the bottom 4 rises from the edge of the bottom with a slight inclination toward the center of the soil towards how FIG. 2 clearly shows.
  • a cross-shaped recess is formed, which consists of two strip-shaped grooves 8, which intersect at right angles. These grooves 8 run with a slight inclination to the central crossing area, which forms the lowest point and is referred to as a recess 5, in which engages the free end of the riser pipe 3.
  • the intersecting strip-shaped grooves 8 surrounding floor areas are with substantially vertical Wall sections that are rounded at the top, over the recessed areas on.
  • the invention is not limited to this preferred embodiment.
  • the bottom of the bottom of the bottle could drop slightly towards the center, wherein in the middle region of the bottom under the riser a trough-shaped depression may be formed, which, for example. in the supervision has a circular shape.
