Description

DESCRIPTION

Dosing container

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present application refers to a dosing container that can modify the amount of outflow through the nozzle, so that it can spray more or less.

STATE OF THE ART

The existence of containers with a spray formed by a nozzle that has a button is known in the state of the art. By pressing a button at the upper end of the nozzle, the contents accumulated in a suction cannula or an upper reservoir in it are produced by nebulization (manual or by pressure internal to the container). By returning the button to the top, aspiration occurs through the cannula to reload it and prepare it for a new discharge.

This system is highly efficient since with few elements a homogeneous quantity is ensured in each discharge. However, it requires a vertical position of the container and it is not possible to use it in other positions. Otherwise, the cannula is not refilled and the container stops nebulizing. This implies, among other problems, that the assistance of a second person is required when the user wishes to use the product on his own back or on the legs.

The applicant does not know of any packaging that can solve these problems.

BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The invention consists of a dosing container according to the first claim. Its different variants solve the problems outlined.

The dosing container starts from a container with a spray closure. The closure has a watertight coupling for the container and a push button with a branch finished in a side outlet. The outlet is connected to a main cannula that reaches the bottom of the container. In this way the system will work exactly as before, when the main cannula is able to extract the liquid.

In cases where this is not possible and the main cannula is not able to reach the liquid in the container or the position to extract it is very uncomfortable, with a simple turn of the button the dosage system can be changed for a correct spraying of the contents. For this, the push button is rotatable with respect to the coupling and comprises a first position in which the shunt is facing the main cannula and a second position in which the shunt is facing a second cannula, different from the main cannula.

Preferably, the free end of the second cannula is close to the closure to allow fluid to be taken from the "bottom" in the inverted position. Thus, greater comfort and no waste are achieved when extracting the product from the container.

In another embodiment, compatible with the previous one, the second cannula is of a different section than the main cannula.

Other variants can be seen in the rest of the report.

MODES OF EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

An embodiment of the invention will be briefly described below, as an illustrative and non-limiting example thereof.

An example of the invention is shown in Figures 1 and 2. The container starts from a container (1), which is generally a bottle, and a spray closure (2). The closure (2) comprises a coupling (3) for its tight attachment to the container (1) and which serves as a support for the assembly.

The closure (2) comprises a valve, as is known in the art, with a push button (4) that has a side outlet and a main cannula (5) that reaches the bottom of the container (1). The closure (2) comprises a second cannula (6) which has been shown to be of short length. The system can be manual (to pump the fluid from the container) or use a fluid under pressure inside the container (1).

The pushbutton (4) is rotatable with respect to the coupling and comprises a shunt (41) that can be, in a first position (figure 1) facing the main cannula (5) and in a second position (figure 3) facing the second cannula (6). Depending on the closure model, the cannulas (5,6) can comprise different elements, so that the button (4) activates only the one that is opposite the shunt (41).

In this way, the user can select the cannula (5,6) to be used. If it is desired to use the container in a normal position, the main cannula (5) will be chosen. If it is desired to use the container in an inverted position, for example on the legs, the second cannula (6) will be selected, which barely protrudes from the closure (2). Thus, in the inverted position the fluid is close to the closure (2), from where the second cannula (6) takes it. The two positions can be defined by individual stops.

In the embodiment shown, to perform the movements it is necessary to extract the pushbutton (4) from its position, moving it away from the coupling (3) before performing the turning movement (figure 2). For this, the coupling (3) has two limiters (31) of the longitudinal position of a projection (42) of the pushbutton (4) (one may suffice). The user can move the button (4) in the longitudinal direction (perpendicular to the mouth of the container (1)) between the two limiters (31). Thus, the shunt (41) can be disconnected from the corresponding cannula (5,6) before turning.

A double bottom (32) ensures that the fluid, in the inverted position of the container (1) is not far from the second cannula (6).

This cannula selection (5,6) can also be used to vary the dosage, if the second cannula (6) has a different section from the main cannula (5).
