Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dispenser for powdered goods, and more particularly to a pocket-size dispenser for pulverized pharmaceuticals, sweeteners, salt or spices.
  • a yet further object of the invention is to provide a dispenser which can easily be handled and which can be refilled by simple operations.
  • Another object of the invention is the provision of an improved dispenser which is relatively simple and robust in construction, economical to manufacture and which has only a minimum of parts.
  • FIG. 1 is a longitudinal section through the dispenser according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 is an enlarged cross-section along the line ll-Il in FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is an enlarged part longitudinal section
  • FIG. 4 is a view of the dispenser in the refilling position together with a refilling container
  • FIG. 5 is a longitudinal section through the upper part of a modification of a dispenser
  • FIG. 6 is a cross-section along linesVl-Vl in FIGS;
  • FIG. 7 is a partial longitudinal section through a further modification of the dispenser.
  • the dispenser is intended for dispensing small quantities of powdered, granular or drizzling goods such as sweeteners (saccharine), pulverized pharmaceuticals or spices.
  • the dispenser which is portable comprises an elongated sleeve 2 or cartridge forming a front part and having a hollow space 1 or chamber for storing the goods to be dispensed.
  • the sleeve 2 may, for example, be made of transparent plastics material.
  • the sleeve 2 is coacting with a cap 11 forming a rear part.
  • the intermeshing parts 2 and 11 have in their circumferenceat least one ring-shaped cam 22 or rib and at least one groove 12 or recess on the inner wall.
  • the cap 11 and/or the sleeve 2 consist of elastic material so that the cap 11 and the sleeve 2 can be fitted'without thread by axial movement only.
  • the sleeve 2 has a cylindrical discharge opening 3.
  • the other end of the sleeve 2 is closed by a gasket 4 or plug.
  • the gasket 4 is provided with a hole extending in axial direction for passing through a piston-rod 5 or slab.
  • the piston-rod 5 is connected with a piston 6 at. the front end, which is adapted to engage in the discharge opening 3 with true size.
  • a ring-shaped recess 7, cavity of groove is formed which corresponds to the quantity of goods to be dispensed at a time.
  • the rod 5 is .2 v is secured against distortion by a hexagonal hole 10 in the cap 11. Between the nut 9 and the hole 10 there exists some play 17, so that the nut 9 can be moved in axial direction without disturbance.
  • the nut 9 is pressed by a spring 13 on to the upper wall of the cap 11.
  • the other end of the spring 13 pushes against the front end 26 of the gasket 4.
  • the rear end of the cap 11 has a hole through which the rear end of the rod 5 is passing and forms a push-button part 14.
  • the pushbutton part 14, the rod 5 and the piston 6 are preferably formed as an integral single piece.
  • the rod 5 is flattened along a part of its length in the space 1 so that two parallel sides l5, 16 are formed to help loosen the goods by turning the push-button 14 if it should, become baked for example due to unfavorable atmospheric conditions.
  • the length a of the push-button is shorter than the axial space b of the hole 10. Further the length a is shorter than the length d of the piston 6, but greater than the axial distance e from the front end of the piston 6 to the upper edge 25 of the recess 7, so that the discharge opening is closed by the upper part of the piston 6 after the push-button is fully pressed.
  • the length 0 of the thread 8 is substantially greater than the axial length of the hole 10, so that for refilling purposes the piston can be moved over a sufficient distance to open the discharge opening 3 by turning the pushbutton 1.4 and unscrewing the thread 8 of the pistonrod 5 from the nut 9 which is secured against rotation but axially movable.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 a modification of a dispenser according to the invention is showed.
  • the rod 5 is equipped with an axially extending rib 28.
  • the bottom of the cap 11 is provided with a groove 29 or slot.
  • the push-button 14 is so turned that the rib 28 and the groove 29 are in alignment whereuponthe push-button 14 together with the rod 5 and the piston can be withdrawn. After filling the pushbutton 14 is pushed in the opposite direction and turned.
  • the dispenser according to FIGS. 5 and 6 is working in the same manner as described in connection with FIGS. 1 to 4.
  • FIG. 7 shows a further modification of a dispenser according to the invention.
  • the 'rod 5 is guided in the gasket 4.in a non-revolving manner by a non-circular. part 30.
  • the cap 11 can be turned relative to the sleeve 2 by hand in the groove 12. By this turning movement the axial length between the cap 11 and the sleeve 2 is maintained but the nut 9 is screwed on the
  • the operation of the device according to FlGS. 1 to 4 is as follows:
  • the pocket-size dispenser has preferably the outer form of a ball point pen with a clip 18.
  • a pocket-size dispenser for dispensing powdered goods, especially sweeteners, wherein an elongated hollow front part (2) and an elongated rear part (11) are connected to each other, said front part (2) forming a container (1) for storing said powdered goods and having a discharge opening (3) at its front end, wherein a piston (6) extends into said discharge opening (3) of said container (1), wherein a rod (5) is connected at one end to said piston (6) to extend axially through said front part (2) and through said rear part (11), said rod having a rear end extending out of said rear part (11) to form a push-button (14), and wherein compression spring means .(13) extend between a first fixed wall in said dispenser and a stop means on said rod to urge said stop means against a second fixed wall in said dispenser to hold said piston (6) normally in arest position to close said discharge opening (3) by said piston (6) when said push-button (14) is released, the improvement comprising means for moving the position of engagement of said stop means with
  • said meansfor moving comprise a thread (8) extending along a part of the length of the rod (5), a nut (9) screwed on said thread (8), and securing means (10) for securing said nut (9) against rotation in said rear part, said unit being longitudinally movable in said rear part for dispensing said goods, said rod (5 being turnably guided in said front and rear parts (2, 11), so that said discharge opening (3) can be opened for refilling purposes by turning said push-button (14) in one direction and closed by turning said push-button (14) in the opposite direction.
  • said means for moving comprises a thread (8) extending along a part of the length of the rod (5), a nut (9) screwed on said thread (8), and securing means (10) longitudinally movable in said rear part (11) for securing said nut against rotation, means for securing said rod (5) against rotation relative to said front part (2), means for rotatably connecting said rear part(1l) to said front part (2) whereby said discharge opening (3) can be opened for refilling by turning said rear part (11) relative to said front part (2) in one direction and closed by turning said rear part (11) in the opposite direction.
