DISPENSERS FOR LIQUID, POWDER OR THE LIKE MATERIALS Filed July 6, 1964 6 11 7 F/GB.
United States Patent 3,271,810 DISPENSERS FOR LIQUID, POWDER OR THE LIKE MATERIALS Joseph Peter Ralfe, London, England, assignor to Reckitt & Colman (Overseas) Limited, Yorkshire, England, a British company Filed July 6, 1964, Ser. No. 380,227 Claims priority, application Great Britain, July 4, 1963, 26,626/ 63 12 Claims. (Cl. -539) The invention concerns improvements relating to dispensers and in particular dispenser heads for liquid, powder or like flowaible materials which are to be applied by a sponge-like applicator.
An object of the invention is to provide such a head wherein an initially sealed dispensing hole concealed beneath the applicator is readily unsealed, and obstruction of the hole by the broken sealing means is avoided. Obstruction of the unsealing operation or of the unsealed hole by adhesive used to secure the applicator may also be avoided by the invention.
According to the invention a dispenser head comprises a closure element for a container of liquid, powder or like flowable material, a rod-like member integral with the closure element and upstanding therefrom to project outwardly of the container, a sealed dispensing hole extending through the closure element and part way into the rod-like member to define a thin-walled region of weakness which enables the rod-like member to be readily broken off from the closure element to unseal the dispensing hole, and a sponge form applicator secured on the closure element to apply the material, the rod-like member passing completely through the applicator to present an end thereof whereby the member can be broken off and withdrawn.
Advantageously the closure element includes an integral diaphragm, the rod-like member upstands from the diaphragm, and the diaphragm presents a wall formation defining a region around the rod-like member separate from the remainder of the diaphragm.
The applicator may have an end which is secured to the diaphragm by adhesive and the wall formation prevents such adhesive from penetrating to said region.
Embodiments of a dispenser head according to the invention are hereinafter described by way of example only with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is an elevation of one embodiment of the head partly in section,
FIG. 2 is a plan view of such head,
FIG. 3 is a longitudinal section of the closure element of such head, and
FIGS. 4 to 8 illustrate alternative forms of the closure element.
Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, the dispenser head 1 is to be fitted to a container indicated diagrammatically at 2 for the liquid, powder or like flowable material to be dispensed. Thus the head comprises a closure element 3 which includes a cylindrical portion 4 which is adapted to be fitted to the container 2 e.g. by means of an internal screw thread formation 5. Any other suitable form of fitting could be used, e.g. an external screw thread formation or a snap closure.
The closure element also includes an integral diaphragm 6 of disc form having a central thickened portion or boss 7. Any equivalent central strengthening formation may alternatively be provided at either face of the diaphragm. A rod or rod-like member 8 is integral with the diaphragm and upstands centrally of the diaphragm and boss 7 to project outwardly of the container. A sealed dispensing hole 9 extends axially through the 3,271 ,810 Patented Sept. 13, 1966 "ice diaphragm and boss 7 and for a short distance into the rod 8. The wall of the rod in the region 10 around the hole 9 therein is sufficiently thin and weak in relation to the material of the rod that the latter can be readily broken off from the diaphragm, being either forced sideways or twisted for this purpose.
The boss 7 or equivalent strengthening assists in ensuring that the rod breaks as required, without fracturing the diaphragm. A cylindrical wall formation in the form of a lip 11 upstands from the diaphragm co-axially around the rod 8 to define an annular region or space 12 around the rod 8 separate from the remainder of the diaphragm and between the diaphragm and an applicator 13.
The applicator 13 is constituted by a cylindrical plug of sponge-form material (e.g. of cellular rubber or plastic) which has a substantially flat end 14 secured to the corresponding face of the diaphragm by adhesive which is prevented by the lip 11 from penetrating to said said region 12 around the rod 8. The plug has a central axial hole 15 to permit the rod 8 to pass completely through the plug and present an end 16 projecting from the plug. This end 16 may carry means such as the wing 17 to facilitate the required breakage of the rod. The cylindrical portion 4 of the closure element may also present a cylindrical shoulder formation 18 upstanding from the diaphragm 6 to assist in locating the plug.
A cap as indicated diagrammatically at 19 is removably fitted onto the closure element 3 to enclose the applicator and the projecting rod end 16 with the wing 17, for example by a friction fit over the cylindrical radially outer surface 20 of the element which may be slightly tapered for this purpose.
In use: the cap is removed to expose the wing 17. This is twisted or pushed sideways and the force is applied to the rod 8t-his movement is not impeded by the applicator plug 13 which is relatively soft and has considerable givewith the result that the rod is broken off immediately next to the boss 7. The rod is then withdrawn from the plug by pulling on the wing in a direction lengthwise of the rod. The rod and wing when completely withdrawn may be thrown away. The contents can then readily escape from the container through the unsealed dispensing hole 9 into the plug for application thereby. The hole 9 is made of a size suited to the flow characteristics of the material to be dispensed. The contents pass rapidly into the sponge of the plug through the axial hole 15 therein, though of course this will partly close on withdrawal of the rod.
As indicated above, it is ensured that during assembly and usage of the head, adhesive is not present in and does not penetrate to the region in the immediate vicinity of the dispensing hole 9, which adhesive might otherwise hinder breakage of the rod and also provide a partial obstruction to the ready flow of the liquid or powder to be applied.
The closure element 3 integral with the rod 8 is preferably made from a synthetic resin material, e.g. high impact polystyrene. After securing the plug 13 with adhesive, the wing 17 is fixed to the rod, the wing being made for example of polythene.
The head may be fitted to various forms of dispenser container which may have rigid walls or a pliable wall to assist dispensing.
FIG. 4 shows an alternative form of the closure element 3 wherein the diaphragm 6 has a shallow conical strengthening formation at the face to the container side presenting a central thickened portion 7a. Also, the cylindrical shoulder formation 18 of FIGS. 1 to 3 is omitted.
FIG. 5 shows an arrangement similar to FIG. 4 but, with the conical formation at the outer face of the 3 diaphragm 6., to present a central thickened portion 7b.
In RIG. 6 both faces of the diaphragm 6 have such a shallow conical formation to present a central thickened portion 70.
In FIG. 7 the face to the container side of the diaphragm 6 presents the central thickened boss 7d.
FIG. 8 shows an arrangement similar to that of FIGS. 1 to 3, but the cylindrical wall formation 11' is not continued upward as a lip above the boss 7, and in this case the separate region 12' around the rod 8 is defined solely by the boss 7. Again the cylindrical shoulder formation 18 is omitted.
