Description

Dispenser with a cap for sachets
The present invention relates to a dispenser with a cap for sachets especially designed for permanent connection with a plastic container with flexible walls for dispensing products, especially liquid edible products for children.
PL362809 describes a cap for closing containers with a dispenser, characterized in that it consists of a main cap and threaded cap with a dispenser. The main cap consists of a cylindrical part equipped with an external thread, the main cap having an inner ring and a buffer collar. The threaded cap has an inner cylindrical portion, an inner ring positioned concentrically and an internal thread. The dispenser is an internal cylindrical part in which a cylindrical insert with a flat bottom with an external flange is inserted.
From the description of the invention PL202697, a liquid product dispensing head is known to be connected to a container containing a liquid product, said head comprising a fixed base formed by said container or mounted on it a rotatable actuator mounted rotationally on a base around the axis of rotation between the two end stop positions and the dispensing opening selectively sealed by rotating the element on the base. The invention is characterized in that both end stop positions define two positions of opening the dispensing opening separately through at least one closed position of the dispensing opening and in that the dispensing opening is situated on the axis of rotation of the elements at the base.
PL212343 describes a closure cap with a dispenser for containers, known as a fliptop closure, characterized in that in the cap extending from the bottom part, in the opposite direction to the interior of the container, an outlet nozzle with outlet opening is formed in the dispenser flange, wherein a shutter in the form of a plate, preferably circular, is formed at the bottom of this outlet opening connected by ribs, and in addition there are inlet channels connecting the outlet channel with the slots around the shutter. The center of symmetry of the dispenser is preferably eccentric with respect to the axis of symmetry of the bottom part of the cap.
PL180362 describes a slot valve for closing containers made in the form of a ready-to-use product, comprising a membrane made of a thermoplastic elastomer of rubber-like and elastic properties and integrally joined with a thermoplastic body other than a thermoplastic elastomer of the membrane using a two-component injection-molding method. The membrane can have selected dimensions that the slitted pouring opening opens when a certain pressure limit is exceeded which is greater than the pressure of the liquid being sealed in the container.
From the description of the utility model RU58871 a dispenser with a protective cap is known having a cone-shaped body, whose pouring opening is topped with a cap connected by means of peelable bridges with a flange.
The outer surface of the bottom part of the body is equipped with a system of thin- walled ribs finished with a flexible wing.
WO2008050361 describes a container cap with a warranty seal, which breaks after the first opening. The container cap can be rotated by the user. The warranty seal, on the other hand, is integral with the handling elements and consists of a plurality of segments, the seal having a coupling portion that has at least one coupling element for engaging the stop elements and a connecting portion to prevent rotation of the warranty seal. The cap is characterized in that the replaceable warranty seal further comprises a securing portion that allows coupling of the engaging portion with the handling portion. The securing portion is structurally suitable for retaining the engaging portion and limited by breaking the seal.
From the description of the invention WO2014007612, a closure assembly and a container provided with a closure assembly is known. The assembly consists of a cylindrical neck with a channel forming an outlet in the upper part of this channel. In the upper part of the cylindrical neck, a rotating cap is mounted, adapted to manually rotate from the closed position in the direction of opening.
The cap comprises a tamper-evident ring in form of a breakable bridge composed of at least two ring segments, each ring segment having a base portion and an indicator portion. The cap with a tamper-evident ring is designed such that when the cap is rotated in the direction of the opening from its closed position, for the first time, the end of the indicator portion enters the recess of the catch portion which then prevents further rotation in the opening direction. The breakable bridge between the head of the base portion and the indicator portion undergoes permanent deformation upon further rotation in the opening direction.
The essence of the dispenser with a cap for sachets, according to the invention, is that the pouring nozzle has a top region made of thermoplastic elastomer, forming a monolith with the rest of the body of the dispenser, which below the top region is made of polyethylene and / or polypropylene. The pouring nozzle is equipped in the top region with an elastic partition forming a membrane with a pair of intersecting slits extending radially outwards, wherein the membrane is made of a thermoplastic elastomer. The dispenser is made by two- component injection-molding process.
The advantage of a dispenser with a cap for sachets is by obtaining the optimal parameters of use, where the pouring nozzle has a soft, elastically flexible side surface and is resistant to possible breaking or biting by children. The advantage is also the obtained optimal tightness parameters when the container falls, as well as when opening maintaining a proper distance against excessive turning, which otherwise leads to damage to the dispenser and/or cap. It is also beneficial by lengthening the dates for consumption of liquid products stored in containers with this dispenser.
The subject of the invention is shown in the drawing, in which: Fig. 1 shows the dispenser and a cap in side view,
Fig. 2 shows the body of the dispenser in perspective view,
Fig. 3 shows the body of the dispenser in a partial cross section of the top region in side view,
Fig. 4 shows the body of the dispenser in a partial cross section in a different variant of the top region and a circular overlay of the inner surface in side view, Fig. 5 shows the body of the dispenser in a partial cross section in another variant of the top region appointed above the upper shelf in side view,
Fig. 6 shows the body of the dispenser in a partial cross section with a flat membrane in side view,
Fig. 7 shows the body of the dispenser in a partial cross section in a different variant of the top region and a circular overlay of the inner surface and a flat membrane in side view,
Fig. 8 shows the body of the dispenser as on Fig. 7, but with a membrane of a concave meniscus in side view,

The dispenser with a cap for sachets, has a body 1 with an outer surface shaped with a tube-like outline, having a weldable portion 2, and above it the lower shelf 3, the upper shelf 4 and a pouring nozzle 5. The lateral surface of the pouring nozzle 5 has a screw thread 6 and mounted is a removable cap 7 with a covering element having a profiling cup 8 on the upper part.
The pouring nozzle 5 has a top region 9 made of thermoplastic elastomer. The top region 9 forms a monolith with the rest of the body 1 of the dispenser, which below the top region 9 is made of polyethylene. In the dispenser, in the variant of the invention shown in Fig. 3, the pouring nozzle 5 has the top region 9 above the screw thread 6.
The body of the dispenser 1, in another variant shown in Fig. 4 has an elastic top region 9 appointed above the screw thread 6 with a circular overlay of the inner surface made of a thermoplastic elastomer.
The body of the dispenser in the variant shown in Fig. 5 has an elastic top region 9 above the upper shelf 4.
