Abstract

When the dispensing vessel is no longer capable of dispensing low level contents within its bottom surface and interior walls through normal dispensing processing, the dispensing vessel with the interior access is removed from its adjacent side for full access to its remaining contents. It can be opened through the halves.

Description

Dispensing vessel with internal access

The present invention relates to a dispensing container, and more particularly, to a dispensing container that allows users to access all interior surfaces.

It was filed on January 29, 2016 as a partial continuation application (CIP) of application number 15/011,424, which is a partial continuation application (CIP) of application number 14/134,224 filed on December 19, 2013, and is now abandoned became

For use in solids, gels, pastes, cosmetics, condiments, viscous materials of all types and non liquid content Dispensing containers used are generally small plastic containers containing means for dispensing the contents within the container. Many dispensing containers typically use gravity or applied pressure from a user to squeeze the container to disperse the contents in a small hole at the top of the container. Some of these dispensing containers may aspirate the contents through a straw-type tube and then place the contents onto the user's hand, the user's food, or the surfaces being cleaned by the user in conjunction with soap or cleaning contents. It may include a spray pump or hand pump that discharges the contents. The typical dispensing vessel may vary in size, but contains up to 20 ounces or 30 ounces of fluid within the vessel for general use. The conventional hand pump uses a straw-shaped tube that extends downwardly into the dispensing vessel, and because the bottom surface of the dispensing vessel is often flat, the pump-type dispenser dispenses unused contents into the dispensing vessel. can be left Most of the unused contents cannot be sucked through the tube because of the position of the tube extending into the dispensing vessel. Often the tube extends downwardly from the center of the dispensing vessel and operates in an efficient manner until low levels of content remain in the dispensing vessel. The inner walls of the dispensing vessel also retain unused contents. It would therefore be advantageous to have a dispensing container that allows its user access to all interior surfaces when the normal dispensing process is no longer able to disperse its residual contents.

The invention of the application includes further improvements in the construction of the finished dispensing vessel and in the manufacture of the finished dispensing vessel, allowing its users access to all interior surfaces. The present purpose of a dispensing vessel having internal access is when the dispensing vessel is no longer able to disperse the low level contents within its bottom surface and interior walls through normal dispensing processing.

The dispensing container 100 of the application with internal access is the container 100 - said container 100 being composed of two halves (1/2), an upper half (1) and a lower half (2) adjoins by a pivot hinge 3 , fixing the two halves 1/2 together with the following combination of locking members on the lower half 2 of the dispensing container 100 with the inner access Sikkim -; A front lower snap bump (8), a lower left snap bump (12) acting as the next combination of the tongues and locking members on the upper half (1) of the dispensing container (100) with the inner access , right lower snap bump 11 and lower radial snap bumps 5 ; a left upper snap (4), a front upper snap (6), a right upper snap (10) and an upper radial snapping rim (9) serving as the grooves; Additional Locking and Unlocking Members—The additional locking and unlocking members are dispensed over the lower half of the dispensing container 100 with internal access, the front lower relief indentation 15 , the right lower relief indentation. (14), including lower left relief indentation (13) and sealing (7); includes

The lower half of the dispensing container 100 with the inner access can be gripped with a finger under the upper snaps 4/6/10 via the lower relief indentations 13/14/15. 2) and the upper half (1) can be easily separated.

Dispensing containers currently on the market lack the design and functionality to release the viscous content and allow full access. When the dispensing vessel is no longer able to disperse its contents, consumers feel burdened by not having full access to the contents they have purchased, and the environment is adversely affected due to possible contamination of the treated dispensing vessel where chemical components may remain therein. burdened

When current commercial dispensing containers are no longer able to distribute the remaining contents for the consumer, the consumer does not enjoy the full benefit of the product. If the consumer chooses to use alternative methods to access the remaining non-dispersible content, such as preheating, cutting, or inverting the dispensing container so that the content is ultimately exposed to the surface, the consumer will You take the potential risk of direct or indirect damage and waste of time, without guarantees that you will achieve full access or preserve it if the dispensing vessel is cut open.

Another potential hazard present with dispensing containers is environmental contamination. Consumers may have a direct or indirect impact on the environment in general when disposing of their dispensing vessel with residual chemical constituents in the dispensing vessel.

The present invention relates to a dispensing container which improves the performance of hand pumps and squeeze style dispensing containers for better use. The dispensing container according to the present invention utilizes unique features within the interior and exterior of the container through the use of a secure opening, closing, locking and sealing system within the dispensing container to ensure full access to the contents.
