Description

  The present invention relates to a refilling device relating to a multi-feed detergent supply device for use in a washing machine, for example a dishwasher or a washing machine.

  PCT / GB2007 / 000177 (WO2007 / 083141) describes a dosing material for a cleaning composition and a chamber for use in a multi-feed detergent supply device for cleaning equipment. The chamber includes a container for the input material and includes at least a top hole and a bottom hole for water / cleaning liquid to enter (or leave) the chamber. In a preferred configuration in the above-described invention, the chamber includes a sleeve made of a plastic material having an upper opening and a lower opening. In some cases, a middle opening that is larger than the lower opening and smaller than the upper opening is provided between the upper opening and the lower opening.

  PCT / GB2007 / 000177 further describes an article with a rack consisting of a plurality of input materials and a chamber as described above. Here, the chamber is held on a backing material and the rack is in the form of a parallel array of elongated chambers containing solid input materials. The rack can be formed in a substantially cylindrical nested shape.

  1 to 7 show the embodiment in the configuration of PCT / GB2007 / 000177 in more detail.

  The article shown in FIG. 1 is manufactured as a flat plastic tray consisting of an elongated blister chamber 2, as shown in FIG. 3, which has a thermoformed plastic tray. The open end in each blister chamber 2 is formed by an endless flange 4 over its entire circumference (this can be seen in FIG. 2). A single dosing material 6 (in this embodiment intended to be used for cleaning in an automatic dishwasher) consisting of a solid rod or stick of cleaning composition is introduced into the blister chamber. Has been. This can also be implemented in different ways. For example, in one embodiment, a cleaning composition can be injected or poured into the chamber. However, in this embodiment, the rod or stick made of each input material 6 is formed in advance by injection molding or extrusion molding, and then cut out to an appropriate length and introduced into the chamber. It should be noted that in the first embodiment, these are introduced into the chambers to fill each chamber to the bottom end 8 but leave a space 10 at the top end. However, in other more preferred embodiments to be described later, an empty space is also left between the lowest range of the input material 6 and the base of the chamber. Since this space 10 is left, water can enter the chamber through the opening 12 to the upper end of the wall in the chamber. In this embodiment, each such opening 12 is circular and has a diameter of 8 mm. An identical opening (not shown) is formed at the lower end of the wall in the article. Thereby, it becomes possible to discharge water and the cleaning composition that has floated or dissolved from the chamber.

  When all the chambers are supplied with a cleaning composition rod or stick (by any means), the backing sheet 14 covers the open end and is secured to the flange 4. It is also possible to adhere the backing to it by any convenient means such as heat or adhesive.

  The flat article then has a rod or stick rack or linear array shape at this stage, but can be rolled into a nested shape as shown in FIG. In this embodiment, the nested shape is a substantially cylindrical array. With a piece of adhesive tape 16 it is possible to keep it in a nested shape.

  For the backing, it is also possible to print information such as trademarks, product get-up and / or usage information on its outwardly facing surface.

  As shown in FIG. 4, each rod or stick and each corresponding blister has a flat base wall 18 that abuts the backing sheet 14. Each rod or stick and each blister tapers from this base wall 18 towards a narrower distal end wall 20. The sidewalls gradually taper initially, as in 22, 24, and then undergo a slightly more inward inward transition 26 and then at 27 until the distal end wall 20 is reached. Tapering at a ratio (a ratio between the ratio at the side wall portion 22 and the ratio at the dislocation 26).

  The rod or stick can be regarded as having a general triangular prism (ie, triangular) shape. More precisely, as described above, the side walls are discontinuously tapered.

  The plurality of rods or sticks are arranged on the backing sheet by these base walls 18 at intervals 28 from each other.

  Further, when the plurality of rods or sticks have a nested nested shape, they have a space 30 between them in the distal end region.

  The backing sheet has preferential creases 32 as a result of the molding in which it is thermoformed during manufacture. The fold line 32 is arranged in accordance with the gap 28 between the rods or sticks.

  The final results in these configurations are as follows and are clearly shown in FIG. That is, when the article is formed in a nested shape, the backing sheet is displaced around the crease 22 in an articulated manner. This nesting or folding is made possible by the spacings 28 and 30. That is, if the rods or sticks are simply in contact with each other, this action is not possible due to physical failure. As can be seen from FIG. 1, the spacing 30 in the distal end region can be maintained even in a nested shape (although clearly narrowed).

  In use, the article of the present invention is a refill that is supplied in its nested form, also shown in FIGS. 1 and 5a. In this nested form it is inserted into the holder shown in FIG. 5b. This holder is a cylindrical tab-shaped container having an axial projection 40 such as a hub. The protrusion 40 extends upward from the base over substantially the entire axial length of the tab-type container. Four fins 42 protrude outward from the protrusion 40, and these are provided at an interval of 90 °. These fins extend about four tenths in the radial distance of the holder.

  The holder includes a handle 44 that hangs down.

  The bottom wall of the holder is a large opening (not shown).

  This holder has a lid as shown in FIG. 5c. The lid includes a central indicator device 46 that is surrounded by a sieve 48. This sieve 48 makes it possible to inject water from which fine particles have been removed into the holder. The central indicator device comprises a push button 50 and a dial 54 around it. This dial 54 conveys a number equal to the number of the rod or stick of the cleaning composition. Each time the dishwasher is used, the user presses this button and advances the control dial number by one. This makes it possible to use the next cleaning rod or stick. This is performed by rotating the disk with the opening by one position in the lid. This ensures that the water injected into the holder will always pass through the opening aligned with the next rod or stick at this stage. This water is injected into a suitable blister through an opening 12 that is adjusted to the position of the opening in the lid. This water can fill the space 10 above the rod or stick. The rod or stick is immersed in this water, dissolves and / or disintegrates, and exits the blister through the bottom opening.

  Somewhat surprisingly, we have found that this method provides excellent dissolution of the rod or stick. It is expected that dissolving an input material composed of a cleaning composition by directing water to one end in the axial or longitudinal direction may be an inefficient method. May have been. In practice, dissolution or dispersion is excellent, and the configuration is very space efficient and does not occupy a very large "installation area" available in the dishwasher. .

  As can be seen in FIG. 6, when the article is placed in the tabbed container of the holder, the fins 42 are placed in the space 30 in the nested article. The tolerance of the fins in the space 30 is not great, which ensures that the rod or stick and the upper opening 12 are correctly positioned and that this opening is adjusted in the lid.

  FIG. 7 shows the fully assembled device.

  As becomes clear from the above description, the first embodiment in PCT / GB2007 / 000177 as described above utilizes equally sized holes at the top and bottom. In other embodiments, different configurations are described. In this configuration, the holes are provided in different sizes, and advantageously, another hole can be provided in the middle of the top and bottom holes.

  All the configurations described above require plastic injected with approximately 80 g of polypropylene for a 12-wash refill cartridge. Thus, 7 g of plastic is consumed for each batch of detergent.

FIG. 7 shows a retail pack of replacement detergent sticks according to a second embodiment and a method for conveniently associating them with a multi-chamber insert during a refill operation.

  Here, a first embodiment of a refill pack for a multi-feed detergent supply device will be described with reference to FIGS. In this configuration, the detergent stick 100 can be associated with a multi-feed detergent supply device with a reduced amount of plastic material.

  Referring to FIG. 8 (a), the detergent stick holder 200, twelve detergent sticks 100, and base portion 300 are shown in an exploded view. The detergent stick holder 200 includes a base member 240. From here, twelve fingers 220 protrude upward. Each finger is configured to accept a single detergent stick 100.

  It should be noted here that each finger 220 comprises a holding means 222 having a bent detent shape at its distal end. Together, they allow engagement within a central hole 110 formed to penetrate each detergent stick. Thus, each of the sticks 100 is pressed against the corresponding finger 220 of the detergent stick holder 200 and held there by the holding means 220. The holding means is pressed inward when passing through the hole 110. However, when the fingers are fully pushed into place, they spread outward to hold each finger. The base member 240 itself of the detergent stick holder 200 has a central hole 260. This hole forms a positioning means in cooperation with the central molding 310 formed at the center of the separate base portion 300. Accordingly, the holder 200 and the base portion 300 are coupled to each other so as not to be removable (or releasable). Base portion 300 also preferably includes a central hole 320 that coincides with hole 260 in detergent stick holder 200.

  The completed and assembled refill portion is shown in FIG. This embodiment is preferably supplied to the consumer in this form. In this assembled configuration, the end user simply takes the assembled part and places it in a multi-chamber insert 400 of the type shown in FIG. Here, as a matter of course, the multi-chamber type insertion portion 400 can efficiently form a part of the main body portion in the multi-feed type detergent supply device. The assembly parts 100-400 described here can efficiently replace the blister package and holder described above. Also, an appropriate positioning mechanism can be used to selectively guide the cleaning solution toward one of the twelve chambers in the insertion section 400 having multiple compartments. This provides a batch of detergent during the wash cycle.

  In the embodiment described above, it is assumed that the disposable part of the assembly includes the detergent stick holder 200 and the base part 300. These can have 14 grams and 8.4 grams of plastic material, respectively, with a total plastic consumption cost of 22.4 grams per 12 wash cycles. This is a significant saving compared to the 80 gram cost in the prior art configuration described above.

  In other variations, the detergent stick holder 200 and the base portion 300 can be part of a refill system rather than being completely disposable. In this configuration, they are returned to the retail store or manufacturer for reuse. In another variant, the entire assembly consisting of the detergent stick holder 200 and the base part 300 is not used in an apparatus for multiple loadings of detergent, but in the insertion part 400 with multiple compartments from the stick holder 200. On the other hand, it is possible to directly place the stick of the detergent 100. For example, in such a modification, the holding means 222 can be omitted. Alternatively, the holding means 222 can be configured to have only a very weak holding force against the detergent stick 100 in order to facilitate direct placement on an insertion part having multiple compartments.

  Next, a second embodiment of a refill cartridge for a multi-feed detergent supply device will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10. In this embodiment, plastic consumption is reduced.

  This second embodiment also assumes the use of a multi-chamber insertion portion 400 of the type shown in FIG. However, in contrast to the first embodiment, it has been considered that it should be possible to eliminate the need for a separate detergent stick holder and base portion. On the contrary, this embodiment also envisages that the user can introduce individual detergent sticks directly into the multi-chamber insert 400.

  Of course, it is preferable for the user not to have to deal with individual bare single dose sticks. The inventor therefore designed a special refill packaging solution. In this solution (as shown in FIG. 10 (a)), the individual detergent sticks are pre-arranged in the same structure as they are used inside a multi-feed detergent supply device. And provided separately. Here, the packaging is composed of a base 500 having a multi-piece of one piece and a lid 600.

  The base 500 with multiple compartments separates the twelve detergent sticks 100 from each other and has an axially separated structure that is identical to the structure that would have been shown in a multi-feed detergent supply device. Means for holding them at intervals. These means for separation can generally include an upstanding partition formed as part of a one-piece base 500, or within the base 500. It is possible to include a fully (or partially) containing well. The base 500 is preferably provided with means for ensuring a positive engagement between itself and the lid 600. This means may include a lip around the base 500 that cooperates complementarily with a lip formed around the lid 600. Alternatively and / or additionally, a secure engagement between the lid 600 and the base 500 can be ensured by providing a centrally upstanding portion within the base 500. This portion cooperates complementarily with a suitable drooping portion 620 formed downwardly in the center of the lid 600. These central portions can also function to separate the detergent sticks during transport.

  As shown in FIG. 10A, the lid 600 and the base 500 are formed so that the top of each detergent stick 100 rises from the base when the lid is removed.

  Referring to FIG. 10B, it can be seen that the detergent stick 100 does not easily fall outside when the lid is removed and the base 500 is turned upside down. This base is slightly squeezed by the user gripping it, thus holding the stick in place. Then, the user moves to attach the stick 100 to an empty section in the multi-chamber type insertion portion 400, thereby bringing the multi-chamber type insertion portion 400 into the state shown in FIG. Alternatively, the user can leave the base upright, turn the part 400 upside down, and then push the part 400 down toward the base 500 and then flip them together.

  Finally, as illustrated in FIG. 10 (d), in order to move the detergent stick 100 into the compartment of the multi-chamber insert 400, the user simply presses the bottom of the base. Thereby, the stick is pushed forward to a predetermined position by the action of pressing force and / or gravity. Preferably, a series of concentric rings / projections 520-580 are formed at the bottom of the base. These promote the pressing action, and the bottom of the base changes from a substantially flat shape to a concave shape, making it easy to push the stick out of the base 500 towards the multi-chamber insertion portion 400.

  According to the above description in the second embodiment, means for introducing the detergent stick into the multi-feed detergent supply device are provided so that the user's hand never has to touch the detergent stick itself. In addition, the consumption of plastic material is only the base and lid of the refill packaging, which can be manufactured with lightweight plastic, producing only 10 grams of consumption for every 12 washes.

  Furthermore, it will be appreciated that the plastic base and the lid itself can advantageously form the main packaging for the refill pack. This utilizes minimal additional packaging at the point of sale. For example, such additional packaging may be limited to plastic or foil seals for joining the lid to the base during display and transport and to provide a safety / moisture-proof seal. Is possible. These bases and / or lids are preferably made from thermoformed plastic. It is also possible to print supplementary information such as product information or barcodes on the base and / or the lid itself. Alternatively, such information can be written on a paper, card or plastic outer sleeve.

  In the embodiment described above, it will be appreciated that the actual details of the multi-feed detergent supply itself are not essential to an understanding of the refill system described herein. In particular, it will be appreciated that, for example, during a positioning operation after completion of the cleaning cycle, the multi-chambered insert itself is rotated one compartment at a time in a fixed outer container. Is possible. Or, for example, with an opening located at the top of the insert to selectively supply a cleaning solution to one or another compartment while leaving the insert unchanged. It is also possible to rotate the disc or funnel attachment. Of course, such positioning can be performed manually (eg, by a user pressing a button) or automatically, eg, by the action of a wax motor. .

  It will be further appreciated that compositions such as detergents are not important to an understanding of the refill system. Suffice it to say that "each dose of the composition has been calculated to be sufficient for one wash cycle". Furthermore, although the detergent composition is referred to throughout as being stick or rod shaped, as will be apparent to those skilled in the art, the actual shape of the detergent need not be a rod and is easy to use. And can be, for example, a cube, sphere, or other shaped block to match the chamber shape of the insert 400 having multiple compartments.

  The feeding device is preferably used for an automatic dishwasher. However, it can alternatively be applied to other applications, for example clothing washing or other product washing equipment.
