Definitions

  • a DC motor is directly coupled in positive relationship through a reduction gear train 52 us. c1. 222/70, 239/70 and a valve contacting elemem with a metering valve 51 1 Int. Cl B67d 5/08 Of an aerosol comaiher- A timihg circuit which Couples 53 Field of Search 222/70 76 504- a battery P mum to the DC motor delivers t odic power pulses to energize the motor and actuate the container valve. The spring return force in the valve returns the valve contacting element to its normal position at the end of each power pulse without requiring a disconnection of the positively coupled DC motor.
  • This invention relates to an apparatus for automatically and periodically discharging a metered quantity of spray from an aerosol container. More specifically, this invention relates to an automatic spray dispenser which is capable of operating off commonly available batteries for extremely long time periods.
  • Pressurized aerosol containers have achieved wide usage in dispensing materials such as deodorizers, insecticides, germicides and the like.
  • Such containers are commonly provided with an upwardly projecting valve having a spray nozzle.
  • the valve may beopened with downward pressure, or in some cases, by tilting the valve to one side.
  • the eccentric drive includes a ball which is driven between the ring and a drum to drive the ring against the valve to emit a burst of spray.
  • the ring is spring loaded so that upon reversal of the DC motor, as controlled by a separate reversing element, valve actuation is terminated.
  • the automatic aerosol dispensing devices shown in Klebanoff et a1. and Goldsholl et al. include mechanical elements which increase the complexity of the device. For example, the mechanical delays employed in both of these devices require, additional structural features which are rotated by the motor. Additional mechanical elements such as the cam in Goldsholl et al. or the eccentric ball mount in Klebanoff et al. are necessary to actuate the output valve of an aerosol container.
  • a spring loading feature employed in the Goldsholl et al. dispenser presents an additional undesired force which must be overcome during rotation of the motor and thus, demands additional energy from the power supply.
  • a motor may be employed which is continuously rotated on AC power. See for example, the automatic spray dispensers in Montgomery U.S. Pat. No. 3,018,056, Edelstein U.S. Pat. No. 2,928,573 and Kraus U.S. Pat. No. 2,613,108.
  • Periodically operated solenoids are employed in automatic aerosol dispensers as described in the U. S. patents to Gray No. 3,351,240 and Mangel No. 3,187,949.
  • an electronic timing circuit generates an output pulse which turns an electronic transistor switch on for a time period sufficient to energize a solenoid whose armature is moved to permit the emission of a burst of spray.
  • the armatures of the solenoids form an integral part of a modified valve. Such construction is complex and tends to demand excessive electrical power from limited power sources such as batteries.
  • a DC motor is positively coupled by a reduction gear train and a valve contacting element to the output valve of an aerosol container.
  • the valve contacting element which normally rests upon the output valve, depresses it upon motor actuation.
  • a timing circuit delivers pulses of electrical power from a battery power source to the motor. As the DC motor is rotated during a power pulse, the valve contacting element depresses the output valve which emits a measured burst of spray.
  • an automatic, self-powered spray dispensing device in accordance with the invention, a battery lifetime of the order of one year is obtained. This is obtained with a silent drive structure which presents a very low current drain each time the DC motor is actuated.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 are each an enlarged frontal view of a valve-contacting element employed on an automatic spray dispenser shown in FIG. 1 and respectively show a normal and actuated position of the valve contacting element;
  • an automatic spray dispenser in accordance with the invention is shown mounted on a back door 12 ofa cabinet 14.
  • the cabinet 14 has an opening 16 through which a burst of spray from an aerosol container 18 can be discharged into a room.
  • the aerosol container 18 is supported on a ledge (not shown) to place its valve 20 beneath a retainer bracket 21 and a valve engaging element 22.
  • Valve 20 is of the metered type which, upon a downward movement of nozzle 24, emits a measured amount of spray through stem 25 and opening 27.
  • the amount of spray usually is of the order of 100 milligrams.
  • the valve nozzle 24 is spring loaded upwards so that a downward or inward force is needed to actuate the valve.
  • the valve motion needed to obtain a burst of spray is small and downward movement of the valve nozzle 24 is limited when its lower surface 26 contacts seat 28.
  • a self-powered automatic actuator 30 is used to depress valve 20 and includes a DC motor 32, a reduction gear train 34, an electric timing circuit 36 and a supply 38 of DC power in the form of a pair of series connected flashlight batteries.
  • the DC motor 32 and gear train 34 are mounted on a bracket 40, which is spaced from back door 12 by spacers 42, to locate the valve actuator 22 directly over nozzle 24, as shown.
  • the output pinion 52 engages a gear 54 rotatable about axis 55 and which gear is firmly affixed to the valve engaging element 22 or may form an integral part therewith.
  • the valve engaging element 22 has a contact edge 56 which is disposed to engage the top 58 of nozzle 24 when rotated counter-clockwise in the direction of arrow 60.
  • FIG. 2 clearly illustrates a mechanical advantage obtained by locating the contact area between valve actuating element 22 and surface 58 of nozzle 24 closer to the axis of rotation 55 than the driving contact between pinion 52 and gear 54.
  • the DC motor 32 is thus positively coupled to the valve 20.
  • Unijunction timer network 78 includes a programmable unijunction 86 whose triggering level is a function of the bias potential developed on its gate 88 by the voltage on ajunction 90 formed by series coupled resistors 92 and 94.
  • a charging network formed by series coupled resistors 96, 98 and capacitor 100 provide the desired timing function.
  • a current limiting low value resistor 102 couples capacitor 100 to anode 104 of unijunction transistor 86.
  • the values of resistors 92, 94, 96 and 98 and the capacitance of capacitor 100 are chosen to develop the desired periodic triggering of unijunction 86, say once every twelve to fifteen minutes.
  • the bias voltage normally developed at junction 90 is insufficient to overcome the base to emitter voltage of output transistor switch 76 plus the forward voltage of diode 82. Hence, output transistor switch 76 is normally non conducting and DC motor 32 remains de-energized.
  • capacitor 100 is charged through resistors 96 and 98, the voltage of anode 104 reaches the triggering level for unijunction 86.
  • the impedance between anode 104 and cathode I06 drops to a low value and capacitor 100 is discharged through resistor 102.
  • the impedance between gate 88 and cathode 106 also drops so that the voltage at junction 90 is pulled to a level which is sufficiently.
  • transistor 76 As soon as transistor 76 conducts and current flows through motor 32, the latter starts to turn in the direction of arrow 108 (see FIG. 1) to drive the valve contacting element 22 against nozzle 24 and actuate metered valve 20 as shown in FIG. 3.
  • the conduction of output transistor 76 continues for the time needed to discharge capacitor 100. This time period (generally about half a second) is selected commensurate with the inertia of the mechanic components and the time needed to obtain a burst of spray from the metered valve 20.
  • capacitor 100 When capacitor 100 has discharged to a minimum voltage, which is a function of the characteristics of unijunction transistor 86, the latters anode to cathode and gate to cathode junctions will again become high impedances. The bias voltage of junction 90 is thenreestablished, to again bias the base to emitter voltage of output transistor 76 below cut-off and de-energize DC motor 32.
  • the power demanded of batteries 38 is a function of the force needed to depress valve 20, the length of stroke to dispense the efficiency of the torque conversion, the standby power consumption (primarily small current drain by resistors 92 and 94), and the frequency of operation.
  • a low pressure metering valve such as one which requires a downward pressure of the order of only several pounds, a pair of D size batteries will be sufficient to operate the spray dispenser for an entire year with timing intervals of the order of minutes.
  • the quantity of spray emitted may be increased by increasing the frequency of valve actuations.
  • the quantity of spray emitted with each actuation may be varied with the substitution of a different valve. If then, in addition, an average discharge over extended time periods must be maintained, the timing intervals produced by the timing circuit may be varied to accomplish this.
  • the pulsed operation of DC motor 32 with its direct positive coupling with valve advantageously disan eighth of an inch.
  • the second lobe 116 is provided at the end of extension 110 for connection to a lever (not shown) extending transversely out of the plane of the drawing and by which one may manually actuate valve 20.
  • a normally open .push button switch 118 is further provided for connection between junction 90 and return lead 72'.
  • junction 90 is pulled down in voltage to energize motor 32 as if unijunction 86 had been fired. In this manner, a convenient testing of the spray dispenser may be obtained.
  • a valve actuating element is shown in the form of a multilobed extension 110 which forms an integral part with a gear segment 112 driven by pinion 52'.
  • the inner lobe 114 of extension 110 is disposed in contact with nozzle 24 similar to surface 56 of the valve engaging element 22 in FIG. 2.
  • a gear segment 112 is employed since this will provide sufficient rotational drive to depress the valve 20 through its range of about so] container having an outwardly biased valve which emits the metered quantity of spray when inwardly depressed comprising a DC motor and a valve contacting element disposed to depress the output valve of the aerosol container,
  • Atiming circuit coupling the DC power supply to the DC motor, said timing circuit producing output power pulses to periodically energize the DC motor for sufficient duration to drive the valve contacting element in a first direction and depress the output valve for a discharge of a metered quantity of spray, the power pulses from said timing circuit being of sufficient duration to seat the output valve and stall the DC motor, said valve contacting element being moved in a reverse direction to its normal position at the end of each power pulse to prepare for a succeeding power pulse from the timing circuit.
  • valve contacting element is provided with an integrally connected gear in meshing relationship with the reduction gear train for positive coupling with the DC motor.
  • valve contacting element is in the form of an extension with a lobe oriented to contact the output valve.
  • An apparatus for automatically and periodically discharging a metered quantity of spray from an aerosol container having an outwardly spring biased valve which emits the metered quantity of spray when inwardly depressed comprising a DC motor and a rotatably mounted valve contacting element disposed to depress the output valve of the aerosol container,
  • a reduction gear train positively connecting the DC motor to the valve contacting element to deliver sufficient torque to rotate the valve contacting element and depress the output valve upon DC motor energization, said reduction gear train furtherenabling the spring bias of the output valve to return the valve contacting element to its normally disposed position with a reversal of rotation of the positively connected DC motor when the latter is de-energized
  • timing circuit coupling the DC power supply to the DC motor, said timing circuit producing output power pulses to periodically energize the DC motor for sufficient duration to rotate the valve contacting element in a first direction and depress the output valve for a discharge of a metered quantity of spray followed with a reverse rotation of the valve contacting element and the DC motor at the end of each power pulse to prepare for a succeeding power pulse from the timing circuit.
  • valve contacting element is provided with a gear operatively engaged by the gear train to drive the valve contacting element into rotation and permit the output valve to cause said reverse rotation of the valve contacting element and the DC motor.
  • valve contacting element engages the output valve at a location which is radially inwardly relative to the driving point between the gear train and the gear on the valve contacting element for an enhanced mechanical advantage during output valve actuation.
