The condiment dispensers dispense each condiment separately, and selectively dispense any one or more of the condiments. One example of a condiment dispenser of the present technology is illustrated in
FIGS. 1 through 7 . In accordance with the illustrated example, a refillable compressible bottle can be provided that has three segmented hollow compartments where disposable condiment cartridges can be inserted and removed. The top of the bottle can be composed of three independent color coded nozzles designed to squeeze condiments individually or simultaneously. - As shown in
FIGS. 1 and 2 ,condiment dispenser 100 includes abody 102, atop 104, abottom 106, a plurality of dispensingnozzles 108, and a plurality ofcondiment cartridges 110 that are inserted into thebody 102. -
FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrate one example of abody 102 for acondiment dispenser 100 of the present technology. Thebody 102 can be made of any suitable material, and is preferably a plastic material. The body can be formed in any suitable manner, such as by molding or extrusion. Thebody 102 is compressible, such that a force applied by a person squeezing thebody 102 can be used to cause condiments stored within thebody 102 to be dispensed from thecondiment dispenser 100. - In the illustrated example, the
body 102 includes a wall having anouter side 112 and aninner side 114 that defines a space. The space defined by theinner side 114 of thebody 102 can be any suitable shape, and is illustrated inFIGS. 3 and 4 as being cylindrical. Thebody 102 also includes a dividingwall 116 connected tointernal wall 114, which divides the space into a plurality of segmented hollowinternal compartments 118. In the illustrated example, the dividingwall 116 divides the space within thebody 102 into three equally sized segmented hollowinternal compartments 118. - The
body 102 is refillable, in that eachcondiment cartridge 110 can be inserted into and removed from thebody 102. In order to facilitate insertion and removal ofcondiment cartridges 110, at least one of thetop 104 and thebottom 106 of thecondiment dispenser 100 can be removably connected to thebody 102. In the illustrated example, thebottom 104 is removably connected to thebody 102 using a threaded connection, such that thebottom 106 screws onto thebody 102. In this example, theinner side 114 of thebody 102 comprises threads 120 to which thebottom 106 can be connected. - One example of a
bottom 106 that can be used in acondiment dispenser 100 of the present technology is illustrated inFIG. 5 . In the illustrated example, thebottom 106 includes a threaded upper connectingportion 122, which connects thebottom 106 to thebody 102, and alower portion 124. Preferably, thelower portion 124 includes aflat bottom 126, so that thecondiment dispenser 100 can stand upright when placed on a generally horizontal surface, such as a table top. Thebottom 106 can be made of any suitable material, and is preferably made of a plastic material, which can be the same or different from the material from which thebody 102 is made. - In an alternative example, the
top 104 can be removably connected to thebody 102, such as by a threaded connection of the type shown in the illustrated example. However, in the illustrated example, thetop 104 is formed integrally with thebody 102. The top 104 can be made of any suitable material, and is preferably made of a plastic material. In the illustrated example, thetop 104 is made of the same plastic material as thebody 102. The top 104 top can include an opening into each of the internal compartments of the body. As shown inFIGS. 2 and 3 , thetop 104 includes threecircular openings 128. - As shown in
FIGS. 1 and 6 , a plurality of dispensingnozzles 108 can be connected to thetop 104 of thecondiment dispenser 100. In the illustrated example, each one of three dispensingnozzles 108 includes a clip-onmechanism 130, which can be used to attach the dispensingnozzle 108 to thetop 104 of thebody 102. Each dispensingnozzle 108 can also include a twist function, which enables the dispensingnozzle 108 to open and close by moving up and down, respectively, while remaining attached to thebody 102. Each dispensingnozzle 108 can include anopening 132 at itstip 134. The opening of eachnozzle 132 can differ in diameter to accommodate dispensing condiments of various viscosities, so that given the same squeeze pressure the flow of condiments can be balanced. Each dispensingnozzle 108 can be made of any suitable material, and is preferably made of a plastic material, which can be the same or different from the material from which thebody 102 is made. - As shown in
FIG. 7 , thecondiment cartridges 110 that can be inserted into and removed from thecondiment dispenser 100 can each include astorage section 136 and a dispensingtip 138. Eachcondiment cartridge 110 can be filled with a condiment, such as, for example, mustard, mayonnaise, ketchup, relish, barbeque sauce, or hot sauce. The condiment can be stored in thestorage section 136, and can be dispensed out of thecondiment cartridge 110 through thedispensing tip 138. Each condiment cartridge in configured to be slidably inserted into one of the internal compartments of thebody 102 of thecondiment dispenser 100, with the dispensingtip 138 protruding through an opening in thetop 104 and into anozzle 108. For example, when acondiment cartridge 110 is fully inserted into thebody 102, the dispensingtip 138 can penetrate the inside of thenozzle 108 to a point where thestorage section 136 of thecondiment cartridge 110 contacts thetop 104 of thebody 102 and the dispensingtip 138 contacts tip of thenozzle 108. As shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 , when the plurality ofcondiment cartridges 110 are inserted into their respective internal compartments, thebottom 106 can be connected to thebody 102 to prevent thecondiment cartridges 110 from falling out of thecondiment dispenser 100. - In at least one example, the
condiment cartridges 110 and theinternal compartments 118 can be color coded, to facilitate identification and matching eachcondiment cartridge 110 with the internal compartment having thenozzle 108 configured to dispense a particular condiment. Accordingly, each internal compartment of thebody 102 can have a different color, and eachcondiment cartridge 110 can have a color that corresponds to the color of theinternal compartment 118 of thebody 102 into which thecondiment cartridge 110 is designed to be inserted. Thenozzles 108 can also be color coded, to provide an indication to the user of the condiment that can be dispensed from eachnozzle 108. In some examples, the color coding of thecondiment cartridges 110,internal compartments 118, andnozzles 108 are coordinated. For example, acondiment cartridge 110 containing a condiment can have a selected color, which is a visual indicator of the condiment contained therein. Theinternal compartment 118 of thebody 102 into which thecondiment cartridge 110 is intended to be inserted can have the same selected color, and thenozzle 108 associated with theinternal compartment 118 of thebody 102 into which thecondiment cartridge 110 is intended to be inserted can also have the same selected color. In some examples, the selected color to indicate ketchup can be red, the selected color to indicate mayonnaise can be white, the selected color to indicate mustard can be yellow, the selected color to indicate relish can be green, and the selected color to indicate barbeque sauce can be brown. - In practice, after
condiment cartridges 110 containing condiments are inserted into thecondiment dispenser 100, and thecondiment dispenser 100 is assembled, squeeze pressure can be applied by manual force, and the pressure within the condiment dispenser can facilitate the flow of a condiment from anycondiment cartridge 110 that has itsnozzle 108 open. All of thenozzles 108 can be twisted open for a simultaneous squeeze of all the condiments contained within the condiment dispenser. Alternatively, a user can choose whichnozzle 108 or combination thereof to open depending on their preference. - When a
condiment cartridge 110 is depleted of its contents, the condiment therein having been used up, a user can open the bottom 104, remove the depletedcondiment cartridge 110, and insert anew condiment cartridge 110. In this manner, thecondiment dispenser 100 is refillable, and each condiment can be refilled at the pace at which that particular condiment is depleted. - In some examples,
condiment cartridges 110 can be sold individually, or in packages ofmultiple condiment cartridges 110. Eachcondiment cartridge 110 can include any labeling required for distribution and sale, such as an ingredient list and nutritional information. In one example,condiment cartridges 110 can contain condiments made by various suppliers, which can be purchased separately and according to the personal consumption habits and tastes of a user. In such an example, after the initial purchase of thecondiment dispenser 100, the user can avoid having to pay higher prices for the packaging associated with conventional condiment containers, and can instead pay lower prices forcondiment cartridges 110, which use less packaging. - In some examples, the fact that the bottle is composed of a plurality of
independent condiment cartridges 110 can allow a manufacturer to utilize their existing operational set up to fill and package the respective condiments intocondiment cartridges 110 without the need for significant process alteration or costly and complex logistical solutions. In such examples, the various condiments can be filled in cartridges that are designed to meet the respective filling processing requirements, such as temperature, while using existing machines. Once acondiment cartridge 110 is filled, it can be sealed, packaged and labeled at the designated condiment facility. In some examples, filledcondiment cartridges 110 can be shipped from their respective facilities to a central location where they can be combined into the condiment dispenser. - A body including a wall having an outer side and an inner side that defined cylindrical space, a dividing wall connected to internal wall that divided the cylindrical space into three equally sized segmented hollow internal compartments, and a top having a circular opening into each of the internal compartments, was made having the following specifications:
- Diameter: 7.7 cm
- Height: 15.3 cm
- Diameter of top openings: 2.3 cm each
- Diameter of bottom opening: 5.7
- Material: polypropylene
- A screw-on bottom was made having that following specifications:
- Diameter: 6.6 cm
- Height: 2.5 cm
- Material: plastic
- Three cone shaped clip-on dispensing nozzles were made having the following specifications:
- Base Diameter: 2.1 cm
- Tip Diameter: 0.8 cm
- Height: 2.9 cm
- Material: hard plastic
- Three disposable condiment cartridges were made having the following specifications:
- Total Height of cartridge: 18.4 cm
- Height of Dispensing Tip: 2.7 cm
- Diameter of opening at the top of Dispensing Tip: 0.6 cm
- Material: polypropylene
- The shape of each disposable condiment cartridge was generally triangular with the largest angle being about 120 degrees, and the other two angles being about equal to each other. The side opposite the 120 degree angle (hypotenuse) was curved to form an arc equivalent to about one third of a circle. The edges of the two smaller angles were slightly curved and had a specific design so that once all three cartridges were placed adjacent to one another, they came together to form a cylindrical fit (all thirds of a circle combined).
- Each of the disposable condiment cartridges was placed in one of the segmented hollow internal compartments of the body, with the dispensing tip of each disposable condiment cartridge extending through a circular opening in the top of the body. The screw-on bottom was then attached to the body, and a clip-on nozzle was attached to the dispensing tip of each disposable condiment cartridge.
- From the foregoing, it will be appreciated that although specific examples have been described herein for purposes of illustration, various modifications may be made without deviating from the spirit or scope of this disclosure.
