Tupper, Upton; Mass. trainierte-November ze, iets, seaside. 621268' 2 Claims. (C1. eerie-89) This invention relates to atomizing containers'. lt is' an object of the present invention to provide an atomizing 'container which is formed with r' nient walls whicn'may bje depressed and'which w lgretur `to their normal shape wherebytefiect' an atomizing action of :th liquid within the container upon an openiiig'A being provided in the container through which air' may enter and leave thev container with theV contents thereof and wherein the nozzle' is integral with the main portion of thecontainer' and wherein the open bottoni' end' ofthe container is secured and 'sealed leva cap and a rigid plate therein for maintaining thej shape o the bottoni" of the 'containeraiid wherein thereis a nipple formation on the'iiain container'portion' which i'nust be severed' to permit th'e atoini'zin'gnactiori, but which serves to maintain the? contents f the container while the container is in transport from the factory to ihgechaser Other objects of the present invention are to provide an atomizing container with an integral nozzle or orifice portion which is of simple construction, easy to assemble, inexpensive, easy to prepare for operation, of pleasing appearance, durable and ecient in operation.
For other objects and for a better understanding of the invention, reference may be had to the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the atomizing container comprising the features of the present invention. A
Fig. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary and sectional view taken on line 2-2 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is an enlarged and sectional view of the nozzle portion and taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is a transverse sectional View taken on line 4-4 of Fig. 3.
Fig. 5 is an illustrative view showing how the nipple is severed from the upper end of the container to expose the orice therein.
Fig. 6 is a sectional view, in elevation, taken on line 6--6 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 7 is a perspective view of a concave supporting disk for the bottom end of the container.
Referring now to the figures, Ill represents the main containing portion of the container which is of inverted cup shape and which has a closed and semispherical upper end portion I I containing a nozzle orifice I2 through which the contents of the container is dispensed. This orifice is provided in enlarged portions of the material as indicated at I3 which has a nipple I4 which must be severed in the manner as shown ie Figure 5 Wastes knife eredi'feueiegqedida I5Vin order to adapt the container forfruse.` 'ljh'e eniga'pert'ien lssuppbrfts-abenrft i ige luc-,which depends inte the betreur of the/conta leign order to ext'ract'the' liquid contents fro' Demandeuroprescereesseiuvidedwiii theppr'un lts by` ineasmqfwn ina-'y'` traverse the portion* .I3 toY enter the c einer arid schreef. messaggini iop, the liquid oprit-ents thereof end by whichthe a can-be expelled in order'tonprovide for' the a'to n its ,stray ofv die liquid' canteras @thee-em in .y squeezed. The container I0 Sj formeY of resilient arid leiible material in order m its shape after squeezing action has been elif f Orie lriaterial whicljimhas proven; satisfactory'is polyethylene, but other materials' ina'y' be used with good Le'sultsLv g ,V I. y' n infpen end of the containerpY II is outwa n ylanid dwnw'a M'y n at* le` and is adapted to eeive e dnave'd disk I9 serving to support the bottom of the container and to maintain the shape thereof. The disk is held in place by a metallic cap 2I preferably of aluminum and having a similar concaved bottom for receiving the convex side of the disk I9v and a double bent ange 22 adapted to receive the downward portion of I8 and to be extended over the outwardly anged portion of the container II) to have clinching engagement with both of said flared portions.
It should be apparent that there has been provided a very simple bottom end construction for this container. The disk will serve to maintain the shape of the bottom of the containing portion IU and to maintain a sealing engagement of the cap 2| therewith. The container is filled from the bottom and thereafter the disk I 9 and the cap 2| are iitted in place. The access to the container thereafter is through the nipple I 4 which must be removed to place the container in condition for atomizing action and for the dispensing of the contents thereof.
While various changes may be made in the detail construction, it shall be understood that such changes shall be within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.
I claim:
1. An atomizing container comprising a squeezable and resilient containing portion with an integral top having an enlarged depending portion, a tube secured within the depending portion and extending downwardly towards the bottom of the containing portion, the top of the containing portion having a. nipple adapted to be severed to expose an oriiice extending through the depending portion and in communication with the upper end of the tube, said depending portion having passages by which air when the containing portion has been relieved of the nipple is permitted to enter the containing portion and to permit its exit for atomizing action of the liquid as the containing portion is squeezed, rigid means for closing the bottom of the containing portion, comprising a rigid disc for maintaining the shape of the bottom of the container and a bottom cap for securing the disc in place therewithin, said containing portion being of inverted cup shape, and having an outwardly and downwardly bent ange on its bottom end, said rigid dise extending into the ange to maintain the shape of the bottom of the container and said cap being channeled to receive the downwardly bent part of the flange of the container portion and extending upwardly and outwardly over the top of the fiange of the containing portion.
2. An atomizer container, comprising a squeezable and resilient containing portion with an in,- tegral top having an enlarged depending portion, a tube secured within the depending portion and extending downwardly towards the bottom of the containing portion, the top of the containing portion having a nipple adapted to 'be severed to expose an orifice extending through the depend 'A of the bottom of the container and a bottom cap for securing the disc in place therewithin, said containing portion being of inverted cup shape and having an outwardly and downwardly bent ange on its bottom end, said rigid disc extending into the flange to maintain the shape of the bottom of the container, said rigid disc being concave and dished downwardly at its center, said cap having a disc portion to receive and retain the center of the rigid disc, said cap having a channel rim and an inwardly bent portion eX- tending in clinching engagement with the opposite faces of the downwardly extending part of the flange and the outer face of the outwardly extending part of the flange.
