Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a single dose fluid dispenser package, particularly to perfumes, that aims at making them easy to carry and use anywhere, anytime.
  • Cylindrical glass perfume sample packages sealed with a plastic closure are known.
  • Said packages are smaller than the usual perfume glass bottles, but their inner space allows the storage of several doses of perfume, so that the user can make use of it several times till there is no more perfume left.
  • said packages are typically made of glass they can break if they fall to the floor or if they hit against something. If that happens inside the user's handbag, not only it damages the handbag since its interior gets drenched with perfume, but the user can also get his/her hand cut.
  • US 2,125,250 which is related to collapsible tubes and particularly to the capless type known as "one application” tubes
  • US 2003/230604 which is related to a collapsible pouch for motor oil including a bulb-shaped storage chamber and an elongated dispensing nozzle.
  • US 4,938,390 describes a liquid storage container with dispensing closure, wherein the combination comprises a flexible container including a body portion and a neck portion.
  • US 2006/112967 An additional example of package is described in US 2006/112967 , related to containers comprising a shell with a puncture area on the shell, wherein oral hygiene products may be stored in the shell and the puncture area may be broken to release oral hygiene product from within the shell.
  • US 1,719,736 discloses single use tubes for dispensing various creams, pastes and medicaments and more particularly to collapsible metal tubes formed with an integral nipple-like projection which, when parted from the tube, exposes a vent or discharge orifice; and in US 2,146,921 , which discloses single dose containers and more particularly containers incorporating a readily frangible section.
  • Biomimicry as known to those skilled in the art, is the science which draws on nature to produce products that mimic their actions. In this sense, the weak points and the bursting of the same at the fluid dispensing container of the present invention mimic the natural seed dispersal strategy (explosive dehiscence), which occurs when the fruits are dry and structures that involve rupture when applying light pressure on certain points, releasing the seeds.
  • the present package is of practical use and to achieve the above mentioned effect the content thereof is released by merely compressing the weak points of the package between the fingers, or with the aid of any slightly sharp object.
  • the package is portable, easy to carry and allows for the use of the perfume anywhere and anytime. It can also be used to carry perfume samples.
  • the package comprises a region of weakness (or frangible region), which can easily break when one compresses said package, allowing for the release of the perfume onto the user's skin or making it easy for the user to direct the perfume outlet at the desired direction.
  • the region of weakness of the package is weakened crossed lines which break when pressure is applied on the package.
  • a line of weakness can be the line that holds together the component material of the package and that releases the content of the package when it is broken.
  • weakened region With respect to the weakened region, according to the present invention, one considers a region of reduced thickness, particularly smaller than 1 mm, which may be broken due to this reduced thickness relative to the container body. Said weakened region can have a smaller thickness and is associated with crossing lines.
  • the present invention relates to a single dose package (100) comprising a hollow body to store perfume; said body can have any shape: the examples show a spheroidal one ( figure 1 ); an elongated one, having a broadened end, like a bulb ( figure 2 ); a bullet-shaped, elongated one having a constant section in crosswise direction ( figure 3 ); an elongated one having a narrow intermediate section (not displayed), an elongated one having a broad intermediate section (not displayed) etc.
  • the volume of the package (100) allows the storage of a single dose of perfume, typically ranging between 1 and 20 ml of perfume or essence, particularly between 2 and 5 ml.
  • the material of the package (100) is totally or partially flexible and impermeable to the perfume and to its constituents, such as solvents, alcohols, water, essence etc.
  • said flexible material may be selected from, but not limited to, gelatinous material, plastic, rubber and materials containing them.
  • the package (100) can be opened by means of finger compression (2, 3) that thus breaks the package (100) and allows the perfume to be released (7).
  • the package (1) which is not part of the invention, has a point (4) of weakness where the material easily breaks when the package (1) is compressed.
  • Figure 2 which does not represent the invention, displays lines (5) of weakness of the material.
  • Figure 3 which represents the invention displays lines (6) of weakness of the material.
