Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a container for nail polish or similar colloidal suspensions wherein solid particles, suspended in a liquid carrier, tend to settle in the absence of periodic stirring.
  • Another yobject of the invention is to provide a container of the just outlined characteristics wherein the stirring action takes place in response to removal or reattachment of a customary closure which normally seals the internal chamber of the receptacle from the surrounding atmosphere so that even a negligent user cannot avoid thorough stirring of the suspension whenever it becomes necessary to Withdraw some suspension from the receptacle.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide an improved motion transmitting device which automatically rotates a stirring device in response to rotation of the closure so that the suspension is agitated at least twice when the container is put to use because the stirring device will agitate the solution when the closure is removed and when the closure is reapplied to the receptacle.
  • An additional object of the invention is to provide a specially confgurated stirring device which may be utilized in a container of the above outlined characteristics and to provide a novel receptacle which insures that its contents are subjected to different stirring actions in response to rotation of the stirring device.
  • Still another object of the invention is to provide a stirring device which is capable of removing all sediments from an uneven surface so that solid particles which settle in a receptacle having an uneven bottom will be scraped olf and redistributed in the liquid carrier.
  • a concomitant object of the invention is to provide a container for nail polish which may be manufactured at low cost of readily available materials, which is of eye-pleasing appearance, which requires no skill on the part of the user for proper manipulation of the stirring device, and which may be produced in many diierent sizes and/ or shapes to accommodate requisite quantities of a colloidal suspension.
  • the container comprises a bottle or a similar receptacle which defines an internal chamber ICC and which includes a screw-threaded top portion through which a colloidal suspension may be introduced into and withdrawn from the chamber, a rotary screwi threaded closure which may assume the form of a cap and which meshes with the top portion of the receptacle to normally seal the chamber from the atmosphere, a rotary stirring device comprising a stirring member, preferably consisting of elastically deformable material, which extends into the chamber and an upper portion which is supported by the top portion of the receptacle, and motion transmitting means comprising cooperating coupling elements provided on the closure and on the upper portion of the stirring device to rotate the stirring device in response to rotation of the closure whereby a suspension which is contained in the chamber is automatically stirred when the closure is rotated with respect to the receptacle or vice versa.
  • FIG. 1 is a central vertical section through a container for nail polish which embodies one form of the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a similar vertical section taken in the direction of arrows as seen from the line II-II of FIG. 1 but showing the closure in partly unscrewed position;
  • FIG. 3 is a horizontal section as seen in the direction of arrows from the line III-III of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 4 is a horizontal section as seen in the direction of arrows from the line IV-IV of FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 5 is a central vertical section through a modified container
  • FIG. 6 is a horizontal section through a third container.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown a container for nail polish or a similar colloidal suspension wherein solid particles, suspended in a liquid carrier, tend to settle in the absence of periodic stirring.
  • the container comprises a receptacle here shown as a bottle 10 consisting of vitreous material and defining an internal chamber 10b which is bounded by walls of noncircular outline, see particularly FIG. 3.
  • the bottom wall 10c of the bottle 10 is of concave-convex shape and the bottle further comprises a tubular top portion 10a through which a colloidal suspen-sion may be introduced into and withdrawn from the chamber 10b.
  • the top portion 10a is provided with external screw threads, as at 10d, which normally mesh with internal screw threads 11a of a rotary closure here shown as a plastic cap 11.
  • the number of threads 10d, 11a is preferably rather large so that the cap 11 must be rotated several times prior to being completely detached from or fully connected with the top portion 10a in order to seal the internal chamber 10b from the atmosphere.
  • the cap 11 is provided with an upwardly extending flattened handle 15 which may be grasped by hand when the user desires to unscrew the cap and/or to apply nail polish to her lingernails or toe nails.
  • the container comprises a rotary stirring or agitating device including an upper portion 17 which extends into the top portion 10a and which is supported by this top portion in such a way that the entire stirring device may rotate with respect to the bottle 10.
  • the stirring device further comprises a stirring member 18 which extends into the chamber 10b and whose vanes or blades (best shown in FIGS.1
  • the means which transmits motion to the stirring device 17, 18 when the cap 11 rotates comprises a pair of cooperating coupling elements one of which assumes the form of a plunger 12 coaxially connected with the cap 11 Vand having a noncircular outline (see particularly FIG. 4).
  • the other coupling element assumes the form of an annular member 16 which is rotatably supported by the top portion 10a and which is rigid with the upper portion 17 of the stirring device.
  • This annular member 16 is formed with a noncircular opening 1611 which slidably receives the plunger 12 so that the latter is free to move axially but cannot rotate with respect to the stirring device.
  • the retaining means which provides a detachable connection between the annular member 16 and the top portion 1011 of the bottle 10 comprises an elastically deformable sleeve 19 whose upper portion 19a forms an annular shoulder which overlaps the peripheral portion of the annular member 16.
  • the lower portion 19h of the sleeve 19 constitutes an inwardly extending annular flange which is snapped into a circumferential groove 10e provided in the top portion 10a.
  • the upper end face of the top portion 10a is formed with an annular depression 10jc which receives the peripheral portion of the annular member 16 so that the sleeve 19 and the top portion 1011 cooperate to form an annular recess which receives the peripheral portion of the member 16 in such a way that the latter is free to rotate with respect to the bottle.
  • the upper portion 17 of the stirring device is eccentric with reference to the plunger 12 and may but need not be integral with the annular member 16.
  • the container further comprises an applicator which serves to withdraw a supply of colloidal suspension whenever the cap 11 is unscrewed from the top portion 1011 of the vbottle 10.
  • This applicator comprises a lower portion here shown as a small brush 14 whose bristles will preferably reach the bottom wall 10c when the cap is sealingly connected to the top portion 1011, and a stem 13 which carries the brush 14 and whose upper end is rigid with the plunger 12.
  • the stem 13 may be a cylindrical rod which is coaxial with the top portion 1011 and cap 11.
  • the cap 11, the applicator 13, 14, the stirring device 17, 18, and the motion transmitting means 12, 16 may be made of suitable synthetic plastic material which may be transparent or colored so as to enhance the eyepleasing appearance and sales appeal of the container as well as to indicate the color of the nail polish which is contained in the chamber 10b.
  • the sleeve 19 may consist of rubber or elastic plastic.
  • the width of the stirring member 18 exceeds the smallest transverse dimension of the chamber 10b so that the vanes of the stirring member are ilexed (see the phantom lines 18 in FIG. 3) and the stirring member will also remove any solid particles which might have adhered to the side walls of the bottle just above the marginal portions of the bottom wall 10c.
  • the width of the stirring member is preferably somewhat less than the largest transverse dimension of the chamber 10b so that the vanes (which are flexed in the phantom-line position 18 of FIG. 3) will be free to return to unstressed position (shown in full lines), and such unflexing of the vanes will produce a vigorous stirring action resulting in the formation of eddy currents and even more satisfactory stirring effect.
  • stirring member 18 Since the stirring member 18 consists of elastically deformable material and since this member actually sweeps the upper side of the bottom wall 10c, it will remove from this bottom wall all or nearly all solid particles even if the upper side of the bottom wall is concave, convex or has irregularly distributed protuberances.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates the cap 11 in partially unscrewed position when the brush 14 is already located at a level above the bottom wall 10c.
  • the stirring member 18 cannot follow such upward movement of the cap because the annular member 16 is retained by the sleeve 19, but the entire stirring device is compelled to rotate with respect to the bottle.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates a slightly modied container whose receptacle assumes the form of a plastic bottle having a tubular top portion 11011 which includes an internally threaded collar 110g.
  • the closure 111 assumes the form of a plastic cap which is provided with external threads meshing with the threads of the collar 110g.
  • the cap 111 carries a concentric plunger 112 of noncircular outline which extends into a complementary opening provided in a rotary annular member 116.
  • This annular member is connected with a stirring device which includes a stirring member having four radially extending elastic vanes 11811 (only two shown) and a tubular upper portion 117 which is rigid with the ⁇ annular member 116.
  • the plunger 112 carries an applicator including an elongated stem 113 which extends into the bore of the tubular upper portion 117, and a brush 114 whose bristles lextend into the lowermost zone of the chamber 11011 when the cap 111 seals this chamber from the atmosphere.
  • the four vanes 11811 will produce a very thorough stirring action when the annular member 116 is rotated by the plunger 112 while the latter moves axially in response to rotation of the cap 111 with respect to the bottle 110 or vice versa.
  • the inner portions of the vanes 11811 are spaced from the bottom wall 110C to permit flow of suspension into contact with the brush 114.
  • the retaining sleeve 119 is secured to the top portion 11011 in the same way as described in connection with FIGS. 1 to 4. If desired, the space between the main part of the top portion 11011 and the collar 110g may receive an annular gasket which is compressed by the cap 111 when the latter is screwed all the way down to insure that the liquid carrier cannot escape from the chamber 110b. It is assumed that the suspension 120 is a -nail polish.
  • the cap 111 is connected with a handle 115 whose lower portion may be integral with the plunger 112.
  • FIG. 6 shows a portion of a third container whose receptacle 210 is of circular outline and wherein the walls 2191 and 210C are respectively provided with spaced projections 22511, 225]? which extend into the chamber 210b.
  • the function of these projections is to ilex the vanes 21811 of the stirring member 218 so that, after passing a given .projection 22511 or 22511, the vanes will be free to untlex and will whip the carrier liquid to produce an exceptionally satisfactory stirring effect.
  • the projections on the bottom wall 210C or on the side wall 210f may be dispensed with. These projections reduce the corresponding transverse dimension of the chamber 210b.
  • Similar whipping effect may be produced by utilizing a receptacle of rectangular outline wherein the distance between a pair of opposed corners exceeds the width of a flexible stirring member but wherein the width of the stirring member exceeds the shortest distance between a pair of opposed side walls so that the side walls will ilex the vanes but the varies will be free to unflex while advancing along the corners of the receptacle.
