Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a dispensing system and particularly to a dispensing system for introducing a consumable or other item from a container closure into the container.
  • the present invention seeks to overcome the problems with known delivery systems.
  • a dispensing system for a container comprising a cap and a storage cartridge for containing a consumable or other item and being attached or attachable to the cap, the cartridge comprising a breachable closure member and breaching means for breaching the closure member, in which the breaching means are contained in the cartridge and are activated upon rotation of the cap whereby to dispense the product into a container.
  • a dispensing system for a container comprising a cap and a storage cartridge for containing a consumable or other item and being attached or attachable to the cap, the cartridge comprising a breachable closure member and breaching means for breaching the closure member, the cartridge being collapsible and the breaching means being contained in the cartridge and activatable by collapse of the cartridge, in which rotation of the cap causes the cartridge to collapse whereby to dispense the product into a container.
  • a dispensing system for a container comprising a cap and a collapsible storage cartridge for containing a consumable or other item and being attached or attachable to the cap, the cartridge comprising a breachable closure member and breaching means for breaching the closure member, the breaching means being activatable by collapse of the cartridge, in which rotation of the cap causes the cartridge to collapse whereby to dispense the product into a container.
  • a cartridge for a dispensing system comprising a body for containing a consumable or other item, at least part of the body is collapsible and the body is ctosable by a breachable closure member, in which in use collapse of the cartridge causes breaching of the closure to dispense the consumable or other item.
  • a dispensing system for a container comprising a storage cartridge for containing a consumable or other item and a base which is attachable to a container, the cartridge comprising an opening through which the consumable or other item is dispensed into the container in use, the opening being sealed by a laminar panel, the cartridge being welded to the base.
  • a firm connection and a seal can be established. This can be used to prevent product in an associated container from passing between the base and the cartridge.
  • the laminar panel may be welded to the base. A welding operation may therefore be used which welds the panel to the base.
  • the panel may be welded to the cartridge opening. A "double welding" operation may therefore be used.
  • the laminar panel may be used in either or both of the welds.
  • the cartridge may comprise a welding flange.
  • the flange may be formed surrounding the cartridge opening.
  • the laminar panel may comprise foil.
  • a single layer panel may be used or a multi-layer panel with different materials may be used.
  • Welding may be achieved by induction sealing, for example inducting heat sealing.
  • Other sealing methods, such as conduct, may be used.
  • the system may further comprise an overcap.
  • the overcap may be used to actuate the system and cause dispensing from the cartridge into a container.
  • a further aspect provides a method of assembling a dispensing system for a container, comprising the steps of: providing a storage cartridge for containing a consumable or other item, the cartridge comprising an opening through which the consumable or other item is dispensable into the container; providing a base which is attachable to a container; sealing the opening with a laminar panel; and welding the cartridge to the base.
  • the opening may be sealed by welding of the panel.
  • a cap may be provided and the method may further comprise the step of assembling the cartridge into the cap.
  • the cartridge may be assembled into the cap before the cartridge is welded to the base.
  • the welding steps may comprise induction welding, from example induction heat welding.
  • a dispensing system for a container comprising a cap and a storage cartridge for containing a consumable or other item and being attached or attachable to the cap, the cartridge comprising a breachable closure member and breaching means for breaching the closure member, in which the breaching means are contained in the cartridge and are activated upon rotation of the cap whereby to dispense the product into a container.
  • the present invention may therefore provide a means for holding a component separate until the cap is rotated whereupon the cartridge is caused to release its contents. Because the breaching means is contained within the cartridge the breach of the closure member is made from the inside towards the outside.
  • the consumable or other item may comprise, for example, a fluid such as a liquid or gel, or a solid such as powder or a tablet.
  • a fluid such as a liquid or gel
  • a solid such as powder or a tablet.
  • applications for such a system including, for example, for beverages to add flavouring, colouring, dietary supplements and the like, for pharmaceutical products such as bleach concentrates, fertilisers and for other products in which components need to be mixed just before use.
  • the system may be configured such that it is not possible to gain access to the container without rotating the cap. In other words, breach of the cartridge is not selective and will occur automatically in use.
  • the cap may comprise an overcap, with the system further comprising a base which is attachable to a container.
  • the cap may be rotatable with respect to the base to activate the breaching means. In this case the base will remain stationary on the container whilst the overcap is rotated.
  • the base may be removable from the container.
  • an initial rotation phase may cause turning only of an overcap and in doing so activate the breaching means; then at the end of the first rotation phase the overcap may become prevented from further rotation so that continued force causes turning of the base.
  • the overcap and/or base may be provided with surface formations such as screwthread formations to engage with corresponding formations which provide for the required relative rotations.
  • the base may include tamper evident means for indicating if it has been removed from the container; and the cap may include tamper evident means for indicating if it has been rotated, for example with respect to a base.
  • the tamper evident means may comprise, for example, a tamper evident band.
  • the cartridge may be collapsible and activation of the breaching means may be caused by collapse of the cartridge.
  • the cap may have internal features such as cam profiles which press onto the cartridge as it is rotated.
  • the cartridge may be thermoformed or blown from a plastics material such as polypropylene or polyethylene terephthalate.
  • the cartridge may be formed from a barrier material to prevent ingress or egress of substances such as oxygen, water or carbon dioxide.
  • a multilayer material may be used for this purpose.
  • the cartridge may be shaped and formed to facilitate collapse, for example a corrugated structure may be used.
  • the closure member may comprise a membrane, such as a laminar disc or pad. For example, an aluminium foil disc may be used.
  • the breaching means may comprise means for piercing, cuffing, slitting, pushing or the like depending upon the form of the closure member.
  • the breaching means comprises a rigid member such as a rigid spike. The breaching means may be placed into the cartridge at the time it is filled and sealed.
  • the system will provide confirmation that an initial rotation phase is complete to alert a user that the cartridge has dispensed its cargo. This could be useful, for example, if after release of the cartridge contents they need to be mixed into the container contents before removal of the closure system.
  • the breaching means may be activated by a cam arrangement provided on the cap.
  • the cam arrangement may provide the means of collapsing the cartridge which in turn activates the breaching means.
  • the present invention also provides the combination of a system as described herein together with a container.
