Abstract

A dispenser for anaerobic compositions has a casing (2) adapted to withstand internal pressure with an internal flexible container (3) having walls permeable to air or oxygen which gas is filled under pressure into the casing (2) to surround the container (3). A dispensing valve (5) is connected to the flexible container (3) and is selectively operable to release the composition. In order to allow dispensing even when the container (3) is becoming exhausted, an elongate channel-defining rod (4) extends across an interior of the flexible container (3) from adjacent the valve (5) to a remote end. The channel-defining rod (4) comprises solid wall elements extending generally radially outwardly from its longitudinal axis and twisting to define at least one helical channel extending generally longitudinally of the rod (4) and connected along substantially its entire extent directly to an interior of the flexible container (3).

Description

DISPENSER FOR ANAEROBIC CUR1N(; COMPOSITl()NFi The present invention
relates to a container for the storage and dispensing: of curable compositions that cure in the absence of oxygen. More particularly but not exclusively, it relates to a dispenser for such compositions from which an improved proportion of its contents may be dispensed.
Anaerobic curing: compositions are those which remain as liquids in the presence of oxygen, but which E,olymerise to solids or gels in the absence of oxygen. Such compositions also polymerise in the presence of metal. even a solid metal surface. They are therefore widely used ha engineering instead ot' expensive or elaborate mechanical fixings or eomponents especially where metal components are to be fixed and/or sealed together. Common applications include threadloeking, nuts. retaining sealing and casketing.
I'o prevent premature polymerization and ensure long shelf lives such anaerobic adhesives and sealants are generally stored in plastics containers with a substantial free air volume above the liquid composition. I lovever. these products are generally higilly viscous liquids
! or even pastes. Thus a conventional manually-squcezabie plastics bottle or the like' having a restricted nozzle for accurate application. is not particularly convenient as a dispenser for such compositions. It is also very difficult to squeeze out as high a proportion of the contents of'suel1 containers as one might wish, and the anaerobic compositions are generally t:ar too viscous to flow out unaided.
While these compositions are highly effective when used correctly. they are also expensive to produce compared to most other forms of adhesive or sealant. It is hence a disincentive to using such products, if' there is a significant wastage that cannot be dispensed from the container. The recovery or disposal of undispensed product may also constitute an environmental, health and/or sat'ety problem.
Alternative forms of' container/disperser have been considered which are adapted to deliver a high proportion of a liquid contained therein. driven by pressurised gas (frequently, but strictly incorrectly. known as aerosols). conventional pressurized dispenser of this type has metal vvalls and would lead to polymerization of' its contents. A plastics equivalent would not he able to retain a gas pressure sui't'icient to deliver viscous anaerobic compositions. In any case' the composition should he delivered as a liquid not as a spray or a foam so direct composition/gas contact is undesirable.
It is known to dispense a liquid material from an aerosol'' container comprising: a flexible.
collapsible hat: disposed within a conventional pressurisahle metal outer casing, (widely ret'erred to as a Harrier pack system''). 'I'he flexible hag holds the liquid and is connected to the dispcusing valve of'thc container. while a gas under pressure is held within the outer casing'and outside the hag. which is substantially impcrmeahie. When the valve is operated.
the prcssurised gas compresses the flexible bag. expelling the liquid therein through the valve. Since the valve can he made entirely of plastics materials the liquid is never in contact with metal.
Nevertheless. such containers are generally unsuitable for anaerobic compositions. as there is no t'ree air volume in the bag to keep the liquid therein oxygenated.
An attempt has been made to address this problem in International l'atent Application No. WO 0()/18661- in which the flexible hag comprises a polymer permeable to oxygen, and the pressurised gas Outside the hag contains a significant level of oxygen. Thus an anaerobic composition within the hag can be stored without curing for substantial periods.
Unfortunately. it has been found that such a container still does not reliably dispense its entire contents. 'I'he hag often collapses unevenly' for example delivering material from adjacent the valve and then becoming locally constricted preventing delivery of material from a side of' the constriction remote l'rom the valve.
A similar problem is known in conventional barrier pack systems having impermeable bags' and it has been addressed for such systems in IJ5i latent No. 4148416. In this. a tubular body is placed within the flexible hag. leading prom an end thereol'adjacent the valve to adjacent a l'ar end. 'I'hus. even il' the hag becomes locally constricted. a passage is maintained past the constriction allowing material from the remote end ol' the hag to reach the valve.
Such an arrangement has unfortunately provecI an hiadequate solution to the problem for anaerobic compositions. 'I'o avoid collapsing inwardly under pressure. the tubular body has
relatively thick walls and hence a relatively narrow bore. This is especially true when the tubular body is of plastics material. as needs to he the case t'or most anaerobic compositions.
Such a narrow bore does not allow l'rec passage tor liquids or pastes as viscous as the majority ot'anaerohic compositions. 'I'he narrow openings at each end ot'the tubular body are prone to hlockape. I'urtilennore. even when combined with the oxyt,en-permeahle hag, of WO 00/18661. the interior ot'the tubular body is relatively inaccessible to oxygen permeating through the hulk ot'the composition. and so any ot'tile composition retained therein for any length ot'time will hegin to polymerise and can easily blocl; the bore. This is found to be the case even with versions ot' the tubular body having perforated walls, also shown in US 4148416.
lJS4148416 also discloses. as an alternative. an elongate solid body provided with longitudinal surt:ace ribs, but the passages defined between the ribs. the body and a constricted bag can often become too narrow to allow sufficiently tree passage of a viscous liquid or paste. Nevertheless, the concept ol' maintaining a passage loom end to end of a compressed bag appears sound.
It is hence an object of the present invention to provide a container in which an anaerobic composition may he stored and l'rom which it may be substantially completely dispensed.
providing the henet'its ot' the containers described above while obviating the problems described. Accortling'to the present invention. there is provitictl a dispenser t'or anaerobic compositions conprising cashed means adapted to withstand htcrnal pressure. flexible container means disposed within the cashed means and having \\alls permeable to oxygen and dispensing
valve means connected to the fioxibie container means and selectively operahie to release material held thcrewithin. wherein the dispenser is provided with elongate channel-det'ining means extending across an interior ot'tile tlexibie container means from adjacent the valve means to a remote end. the chanacl-defining means comprising solid wall elements extending :eneraliv radially out\ardly from its longitudinal axis and twisting to define at least one helical channel means extending generally longitudinally ot'the channel-defining means and connected along substantially its entire extent directly to an interior of the flexible container means. The channel-defining element may comprise a plastics material.
Preferably. said channel means comprises at least half of the area ol' a transverse eross-
section of the channel-det'ining means at any point thereof'.
Advantageously. there is a plurality of said channel means. each extending generally longitudinally ot' the channel-det'ining means. and optionally intereonneeted one with another. Preterably. the channel- defining means comprises a plurality of substantially identical t'irst sections arranged substantially along its longitudinal axis Advantageously. the channel-det'ining means also comprises a plurality of' second sections.
each substantially identical one to the others. and also arranged substantially alone: the longitudinal axis ot'tilc channcl-detining, means.
Said ftst and second sections may be arranged alternately along said longitudinal axis.
Prel'erahiv. each said first or second section defines at least one generally helical channel means extending pcneraliv kngituddialiv ot' the channel-defining means. optionally two gcncrallv helical channel means.
Advantageously. each said first section defines at least one channel means extending helically in an opposite sense to the at least one channel means defined by each said second section. leach said first section may thus define a clockwise helical path while each said second section det'ines an anticloclwise helical path. or vice versa.
Advantageously. said wall ol' each section is discontinuous with the corresponding wall of each adjoining section.
Each ot' the two helical channel means defined by each section will then be connected to each ot'the two helical channel means del'ined by each said adjoining section ()ptionally adjoining sections may he so disposed. one relative to the other. that their respective walls extend substantialiv at right angles one to the other where they meet.
Prcl'crahl!. each said t'irst or secont1 section defines helical channel means having a pitch ol' hetv\ccn one cluartcr and loser times a diameter ol'thc section
Advantageously. each said first or second section defines helical channel means having a pitch ol'betweer1 one hall' end two times said diameter. optionally having a pitch substantially equal to said diameter.
I'he flexible container means prelerahiv contains an anaerobic composition. such as an anaerobic curing adhesive or sealant material.
The dispenser advantageously contains a pressurized gas, held between the casing means and the flexible container means.
Said pressurised gas may comprise oxygen, and optionally may comprise compressed air.

The flexibic bag 3 comprises a plastics material, such as low density polyethylene, which is permeable to gases and in particular oxygen containing gases. An elongate channelling element 4 of plastics material is disposed generally longitudinally within the flexible bag 3. and is shown in more detail hi Figures. 2. 3 and 4.
The container I is provided at a t'irst end with a dispensing valve 5 ol'generally conventional form. shown hi more detail in 1 igures SA and 5B 'I'he valve S is connected to an interior of the tieible hag 3.

An oxygen concentration \xithh1 the anaerobic composition 9 is thus estahlishetl and maintahed wilicil is sulticicnt to prevent or at least significantiv retard premature curing within the container 1.
The channciling element 4, as shown in Figure 2 comprises a plurality of helical sections 11, 12 each formed of a wall extending radially on troth sides of the longitudal axis of the element 4.
