Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dispensing-dosing device for liquid soap, shampoo or similar fluids, of the type composed of a wall-mountable holder and of a squeezable bottle for the fluid to be dispensed, retained in a replaceable manner by the holder.
  • the invention also relates to a bottle specially shaped to be mounted and held by the holder according to the objects of the present invention, but also adapted to be used a separately from the holder.
  • Dispensing devices of the aforesaid type are already known in the art and intended for use in communities, such as hotels, gymnasiums, common restrooms and other places in which the fluid must be dispensed to different users.
  • These devices are generally composed of a wall-mountable holder, which houses and holds a replaceable bottle, which can be provided with an automatic dispensing-and dosing valve. To prevent pilfering of the bottle, it is retained in the holder by means of a safety connection openable only with a special key.
  • EP 530789 An example of the latter type of dispensing device, more economical than the former one, is given in EP 530789 , in which the bottle is retained in a C-shaped holder provided at the bottom with a removable sleeve that can be inserted to connect with an anti-pilfer system.
  • EP842630 Another example is given by EP842630 , in which the bottle is supported again by a C-shaped holder having an upper arm that connects by snapping into a specific seat provided on the bottle.
  • US-A-4749108 relates to a flexible dispensing package for fluid material.
  • the flexible package has a substantially cylindrical resiliently deformable body and a self-sealing dispensing valve at the bottom of said body.
  • a recessed notch is formed at the superior part of the cylindrical body. Said notch has a hook shape for allowing the insertion of a support member in order to hang the package from a support.
  • EP-A-1731440 discloses a viscous fluid dispenser, comprising a compressible body having a substantially tubular shape, a head comprising a cap structure connected to a dispensing end and a nozzle connected to said cap structure.
  • the bottom of the dispenser incorporates a holder provided with an aperture for hanging the dispenser from a support.
  • EP-A-0070641 discloses a medical liquid bottle having a tubular shape.
  • the bottle is provided with a dispensing opening at the bottom, while a holder is formed at its top part.
  • the bottle can be suspended by a hook inserted into the aperture formed in the holder.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a device and a bottle for dosed dispensing of liquid soap or similar fluids, which allows the bottle to be used separately from the holder and which allows complete accessibility of all surfaces of the bottle mounted on the holder both for cleaning and to affix useful or necessary information.
  • the principle of the present invention is based on the mutual constraining of two annular parts, one formed on the bottle and the other of the holder, at least one of the two parts being openable to allow mutual insertion and subsequently lockable preferably with an anti-pilfer device.
  • the openable annular part has been provided in the holder, both to simplify production and for reasons of cost, given that the bottle is replaceable.
  • annular is intended here as any closed or closable configuration, with a central opening.
  • the device shown is essentially composed of two components, i.e. a holder 10 and a bottle 11 intended to be mutually connected for use.
  • the holder 10 is of the wall-mountable type, for example using a wall plug or other known means through an opening 12 in the rear base 13 thereof.
  • This holder 10 is formed of two parts, 14 and 15 respectively, both substantially U-shaped. More precisely, the fixed part 14 has the aforesaid rear base 13 and two arms 16 and 17 which extend from the base 13 in an essentially perpendicular direction to the fixing wall, preferably according to two planes vertically spaced apart.
  • the moving part 15 is also U-shaped, with a base 18 and two arms 19 and 20 which can slide with respect to or inside the arms 16 and 17 of the fixed part, from a position in which the moving part 15 is detached from the fixed part, to fit or remove the bottle 11, to a position in which the moving part is connected to the fixed part to hold the bottle 11.
  • the connection is of the snap-in type, for example between the upper arms 16 and 19, which can only be removed with the use of a specific key, for example of the type indicated with 21 in figures 1 and 5 .
  • the shown key 21 is, for example, bracket shaped with elastic arms 22, 23, each provided with a projection 24, 25 intended to be inserted in corresponding openings 26, 27 of the holder and to be pressed to perform disconnection, thereby releasing the two parts 14 and 15 of the holder.
  • the bottle 11, of the type with an end cover 28 at the dispensing end and with an automatic dispensing and dosing valve, known per se and therefore not illustrated, can have any general configuration, preferably with two opposed walls of greater extension and two walls of lesser extension, also opposed and connected to the first two, the bottle being of the type that can be squeezed directly by the user's fingers to dispense the fluid.
  • connection between the two rings is implemented so that there is clearance therebetween in a direction parallel to the fixing wall and moreover it is preferable to provide a mutual flat supporting section, as indicated by the arrow x for improved stability of the bottle during use.
  • the bottle 11 is not held fixed, but can instead be made to swing in the two directions, as indicated by the double arrow y.
  • This allows ideal positioning of the bottle for the user, easy access to all parts thereof for cleaning and, finally, makes all the surfaces thereof, including the rear, available to affix commercial information or information according to the law, which can thus always be read.
  • the bottle can also be used, if desired, detached for the holder described, in cases in which it is not necessary to secure it, for example in domestic uses, in which the ring thereof can be inserted over a simple wall hook.
