Bell, Jr. Attorney-Howard T. Jeandron ABSTRACT: A method of recharging small empty portable collapsible tubes with a flowable liquid cosmetic, toilet preparation or medicinal good by means of a recharging fixture, to which the small tube is attached and a large stored fluid container is also attached to dispense sufficient quantities as desired.
TUBE FILLING ATTACHMENT FOR TRANSFER OF CONTENTS FROM ONE ELEMENT TO ANOTHER This invention relates to the use of small size collapsible containers mainly the so-called tubes in which many products are dispensed for public consumption of the product. In, the cosmetic field, there are a great quantity of oils, pastes, creams and liquids sold in tube form. Due to the development of small cosmetic kits, the tube size has been reduced to a minimum, usually containing a sufficient quantity of cosmetic for the day or for overnight only. Thus with the use of a small size tube, there must be sold a quantity of replacement tubes or a large tube with the means of recharging the small tubes.
It is an object of this invention to provide a recharging fixture or attachment for transfer of contents of a large tube to small tubes as desired.
Other objects of this invention may be apparent by reference to the accompanying detailed description and the drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is an exploded view of the component parts of a tube recharging fixture,
FIG. 2 is a plan view of the recharging fixture with a supply tube attached at one end and a receiving tube attachedat the opposite end, a
FIG. 3 is a plan view of a further embodiment of the recharging fixture, and
FIG. 4 is an exploded view of the recharging fixture of FIG. 3.
Referring to FIG. 1 there is illustrated the component parts of a recharging fixture for tubes 11 and 12. The fixture 10 is comprised ofa central circular block 14 formed with a central threaded core 15, that extends halfway through block 14. A smaller bore 16, that is provided with an internal thread 17. extends from the opposite side of block 14 to meet the core 15. A second circular block 20 is also provided with a threaded core 21 that extends halfway through block 20. Block 20 is also provided with a projecting portion 22 that is threaded externally. A bore 23 extends through portion 22 and block 20 to meet the threaded core 21. A small plastic tube 24 ofa predetermined length is inserted into bore 23 in a fixed relationship, either by providing a tight fit or cementing to insure a fixed relationship. It is to be noted that the external thread of portion 22 must mate with the internal thread 17 of block 14, thus blocks 14 and 20 may be joined. It is also to be noted that block 14 is provided with a threaded core to fit the external thread of the small tubes 11 that are to be filled. Also to be noted is the internal threaded core 21 must fit and mate with the external thread of the large (supply) tube 12.
it is apparent that with the tube recharging fixture l0 threadably fixed to the mouth of a supply tube 12 that a small tube 11 may be easily attached to the fixture 10, first by removing the cap of the small tube and inserting the extending plastic tube 24 into the smalltube and secondly turning the small tube to threadably secure it to the fixture 10. With the tube 11 mounted, the supply tube 12 may be squeezed forcing its contents through the fixture 10 on into tube 11 to fill it. The tube 11 may be removed and many more repeat fillings may be made until the contents of tube 12 is evacuated.
Although we have shown a preferred embodiment in which there is a transfer ofa cosmetic from tube to tube, FIGS. 3 & 4 illustrate a further embodiment in which the cosmetic supply may be an aerosol can. In this embodiment the recharging fixture 10A is slightly different. Block 14A is similar to block 14 and tube 24A is similar to tube 24. However since the aerosol cans do not have threaded dispensing apertures, the tube 24A is fitted into an adapting element 25. Element 25 is threaded on one side at 22A to fit the internal thread 17 of block 14A and element 25 has an elongated hollow nozzle 26 that will fit into the dispensing aperture 27 of an aerosol can. Thus with element 25 affixed to block 14A, a small tube 11 may be threadably secured to the fixture 10A and the nozzle 26 inserted in the dispensing aperture 27 of an aerosol can. By depressing the dispensing valve 28, the contents of the aerosol can 29 may be charged through fixture 10A to fill the tube 11.
Both embodiments are provided to permit tee user to buy a large supply tube or aerosol can of the particular cosmetic desired. For his or her travels when the large tube or can would be cumbersome, it is thus possible for the user to fill small tubes with his or her desired cosmetics and the small tubes are easily carried either in a kit or separately. It is to be noted that all elements are easily disassembled for cleaning. in cleaning the elements may be soaked in water for water soluble cosmetics or soaked in a prepared solution for oily or different base cosmetics that are not water soluble. The tube 24 or 24A may be blown clear in cleaning or if badly clogged, replaced with a new tube. A cleaning element similar to a smoking pipe cleaner may also be used for cleaning out tubes 24 and 24A and the apertures 17 and 23.
It is also to be noted that the cosmetics may vary in specific gravity from a consistency similar to water for a liquid or similar to air for gases, to a heavier consistency, as long as the cosmetic retains a flowable characteristic.
it is also to be noted that this invention shall not be limited to the recharging of cosmetics alone but shall include all similar consistency products such as toilet and medicinal goods.
Although we have shown a particular size tube and threaded outlet, it is to be understood that the tube size may be altered and the threaded connection may vary without departing from the spirit of this invention. It is to be understood that the invention described in detail in the foregoing specification is subject to changes and modifications without departing from the principal and spirit thereof. The terminology used is for purposes of description and not of limitation, the scope of the invention being defined in the claims.
