Description

Double dose dispenser for liquids.

The present invention relates to a dispenser double dose for normally detergent liquids, thanks to which the exact amount of cleaning liquid is provided that must be poured into a certain amount of water, being able to give  two different doses depending on the quality and quantity of water used and the surface to be cleaned. It also has a system of threaded to the bottle, which when empty allows it to be removed and put it back in a new bottle, that is to say it is reusable.  The bottle where it fits is specially designed for said dispenser

The Field of Technology to which the Invention is: B65D.

Prior art

Dosing systems of liquid detergents of various appearance and functioning, where found from a simple design of a cap with markings on its surface indicating the amount of liquid there is when it reaches the level of these brands, and that does not incorporate any system of automatic filling, that is to say that the recharge of the dose is makes manually and approximate by the user, up to pressure dosing like the ones found in the products glass cleaner, which expel the liquid sprayed or those of personal hygiene products, such as Soaps to wash your hands. There are also designs of more complex dispensers that incorporate suction systems liquid by pumping, or by driving liquid into a dosing bowl above the bottle, by the manual pressure exerted on the body of the bottle.

This double dose dispenser for liquids It presents a great simplicity of use by the simple turning movement of the bottle upside down - face down, with the possibility of selection of a single dose or a larger dose.

Explanation of the invention.

While the systems discussed above they seem simple and easily materializable, it has not yet been achieved a dosing system that gives the precise amount and also do not let it be used again immediately, as systems described above can give the number of doses that the user wishes, while this dispenser requires a time to use it again, since it must be reloaded of liquid

The action you need from the user to work the dosing set is simply turning the bottle from its normal vertical position or face up, so that The system provides a single dose or a larger dose.

Another feature of this dispenser with with respect to what exists in the market is the ability to reuse, so a unit of this dosing set (2) can last a large period of time when used with several bottle refills, without losing efficiency in its operation.

Its operation consists of putting the bottle face down so that the liquid enters the larger tank (23) of the set of the dispenser and after this action has been done the first time, every time the content of the The dispenser will automatically recharge the tank major (23) that feeds complementary dose deposits (24) and of a dose (25) and therefore its capacity corresponds approximately to the sum of the capacities of these deposits minors (24) and (25).

By a simple rotation of the rotating crown (5) we can choose a single dose or a double dose, in the sense that the double dose can give a higher dose than the dose simple when the dose tank is also emptied at the same time complementary (24).

The single dose is achieved by emptying a small one-dose tank (25) that discharges through the tube of exit of the liquid (6), and the double dose by the emptying of the two small dose deposits, one dose (25) and dose complementary (24), both being of equal capacity or of different capacities.

The body of the bottle (1) is also designed adapted to the dispenser assembly (2), it has a neck straight cylindrical with a thread on its outside, it has the base inside of the neck so that it adapts to the shape of the part superior superior of the greater deposit (23), and also the bottle in its inside, it leaves a space of free circulation of liquid in the area of the dosing set and the "shoulders" of the bottle, which is achieved with a sufficient angle of the "shoulders" of the bottle with the outer walls of the main tank (23) of the dosing set

The objective of this invention is to dose from correct form the amount of detergent used avoiding the use of an excessive amount of cleaning product since this does not imply a greater cleaning power and only produces a greater problem of environmental pollution.

In figure 5, a section is seen the body of deposits (20) of complementary dose (24) and one dose (25), with the lace notch (21) and the hole for the exit of air (22) of the complementary dose reservoir (24).

Detailed presentation of an embodiment

The dispenser assembly (2) consists of three main parts or subsets: the rotating crown (5) formed by a knurled or grooved surface for the purpose of its best grip and which is drawn in figure 2, the threaded body of the plug (10) with its larger deposit drawn in figure 3, and the body of the complementary dose and one dose deposits (20) drawn on Figure 5, with the separation piece (17) of the tanks of complementary dose (24) and one dose (25) drawn in the figure Four.

The rotating crown (5) has a flip top (3) with a projection for tightness (4) that prevents spillage of the liquid that comes out of the liquid outlet tube (6). This tube it has at one end a window (7) of the dose tank Complementary (24) that allows according to your position, pour a dose simple by emptying the tank of a dose (25), or a dose double, that is to say it also allows to empty, where appropriate, the deposit of complementary dose (24). It also contains some tabs (9) of shape of small projection of semicircular section that allow the fit and the rotation of the rotating crown with respect to the central tube of the threaded cap body (10).

The threaded body of the plug (10) is formed by different pieces of cylindrical symmetry and three sheets perpendicular to the axis of the cylinders, of circular symmetry that delimit spaces together with the central tube, and has a thread (11) internal in its upper part that serves to join the whole of the dispenser (2) with the body of the bottle (1). In his part lower, it has the body (12) of the larger tank (23), which has four holes (13) of semicircular shape that allow the liquid contained in the bottle (1), when it is mouth below, fill in said major deposit (23).

This deposit is filled momentarily since when you turn the bottle around and put it back into position normal vertical, the liquid descends through a hole (14) and fills the complementary dose deposit (24). One dose deposit (25) is filled from the complementary dose tank (24) to through the inlet tube (18), also with the liquid coming of the major deposit.

It also contains a trapdoor (15) approximately half cylindrical surface that coincides in height with the position of the window (7) of the outlet pipe of liquid (6), this hatch being larger than said window, and that allows the dose that comes out of the set dispenser (2), either single or double depending on the position from the window (7) of the complementary dose tank, whether or not it coincides with the trapdoor, by rotating the rotating crown (5), resulting in the emptying of only the deposit of a dose (25) or the emptying of the two deposits: that of a dose (25) and the dose complementary (24).

To separate the body from the deposits (20) in two deposits, the deposit separation piece (17) is placed. This separator contains two small tubes that are offset of parallel axes with the central axis of symmetry of the dispenser, one which is the air outlet tube (19) of the one dose reservoir (25) and the other tube (18) is the liquid inlet to the tank of a dose (25), the total length of both tubes being the one allows the body space (20) of the deposits (24) and (25) and the lower base of the greater deposit (23), being the length of each one of them directly related to the volume of said deposits (24) and (25).

The body of dose deposits (20) complementary and of a dose it has in its upper part a air outlet port (22) of the dose tank complementary (24). This body (20) is snapped in with the threaded body of the plug (10) by a system consisting of a socket projection (16) contained in said threaded cap body (10), and a notch of lace (21) contained in the body of the Deposits (20) of complementary dose and one dose.

The body of the bottle (1) must be specially designed for this dispenser assembly (2). He has having a thread on its neck that joins the thread of said set. The neck is a straight cylinder of inner diameter adjusted to the body (12) of the outer cylinder of the larger tank (23), so that in its lower part it adjusts and presses slightly to the upper outer end of the tank cylinder (23), of so that said body (12) slides down the neck when pushing the set.

The inner part of the base of the neck of the bottle, has a circular shape of a sharp edge or small radius of curvature, so that the upper outer part of the tank greater (23), adjust in it and the angle formed by the "shoulders" of the bottle with the neck in this area, do not prevent the free liquid circulation into the larger tank (23) a through the holes (13).
