JPH08282750A - Cap for storage container for taking out fixed amount of foam product - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow one or more products to be mixed by including at least two chambers placed aside of a through tube for taking out different liquid products and by equipping each chamber with a leak path and a flow path. SOLUTION: The cap 1.1 of a storage container 2 having a mixers 3.1 for forming two different foam products 4, 5 into the form of a foam string takes out a predetermined amount of the foam products. The cap 1.1 has a through tube 6.1, which is coupled with a take-out tube 8 of the container 2 via an end 7. The mixer 3.1 has two hollow cylindrical chambers 9, 10 for taking out the liquid products 4, 5, which chambers are provided aside of the through tube 6.1. In order to take out a predetermined amount of the liquid products, a key is pressed, whereby the products flow through the through tube 6.1 and in addition pressure of foam is applied into leak paths 11, 12 by pistons 16, 17. Thus the products 4, 5 are pressed through flow paths 13, 14 to form a string of foam.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a storage container cap for taking out an aliquot of a foam product.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Such a cap is disclosed in DE68906.
Known from 701T2, it is used to take a metered quantity of a foam product from one storage container and mix the liquid product into a product of string-like appearance.

[0003]

The present invention is not limited to the mixing of only one liquid product, but is based on the problem of providing a cap of the same concept which is simple to construct.

[0004]

This problem is solved by the features of the respective characteristic parts of the independent terms 1 and 2 which are listed in parallel. Other advantageous configurations / forms of the invention will be apparent from the dependent claims. The storage container cap of the present invention has at least two chambers arranged beside the flow-through tube for taking out different liquid products, and each chamber is provided with a leak passage and an outflow passage. It is possible to mix one or more products (Claim 1).

Further, in the storage container cap of the present invention, the chamber is fan-shaped filled with at least two different kinds of products, and the liquid products have viscosities that cannot be mixed with each other. , Each liquid product is provided with at least one outflow passage so that two, three or more different liquid products can be formed into foam-like filaments by a simple procedure. Is possible (claim 2).

A coupling device is provided for coupling the cap to the storage container. Preferably, a pressure vessel is provided as the vessel. A cost-effective production is carried out by integrally molding at least the hollow cylindrical annular chamber and the connecting device from plastic. In order to branch the foam product in the leak path, a partition is provided and the end of the flow-through tube is arranged axially offset.

In another embodiment, a flow-through tube (6.4) has an internal constriction (2) for branching the foam product in the leak path.
1). Since the outflow passage has one flow recess in each of the flow-through pipes, the liquid product and the foam filament are well wetted. Preferably, this tube is shaped as a closure lid. By being configured such that at least one outlet channel can be closed, the possibility of mixing one or only two liquid products is available. Visible control for the mixing of liquid products is achieved by coloring the liquid products differently from one another to produce colored foamy streaks.
