Definitions

  • this invention provides a personal dispenser including a collapsible container and a pump mechanism, which includes a collapsible dosing chamber that defines a dose volume.
  • the collapsible container has an internal volume defined by flexible walls, and holds a fluid for dispensing.
  • the pump mechanism communicates between the internal volume and an opening provided for dispensing fluid.
  • An inlet communicates between the internal volume of the collapsible container and the dose volume, and an outlet communicates between the dose volume and the opening for dispensing fluid.
  • Operating the pump mechanism by direct hand manipulation of the collapsible dosing chamber results in the dispensing of at least some of the fluid from within the dose volume through the dispensing nozzle.
  • the personal dispenser of this embodiment is preferably carried by an individual for personal use, and, in preferred embodiments, includes means for attaching the personal dispenser to an individual.
  • this invention provides a personal dispenser including a collapsible container having flexible walls defining an internal volume holding a fluid for dispensing; a dispensing nozzle having an opening for dispensing fluid and an outlet communicating between the internal volume of the collapsible container and the opening for dispensing fluid; and a one-way valve in the outlet that permits dispensing of the fluid at the opening and prohibits air from entering the collapsible container through the outlet, wherein the one-way valve responds to an increase in pressure in the outlet to permit dispensing of the fluid.
  • the increase in pressure at the outlet is achieved by squeezing the collapsible container.
  • This invention also provides a clip device comprising a first clamp member having a first grip portion and a catch; a second clamp member having a second grip portion and a latch, said second clamp member being joined to said first clamp member at a hinge such that said first and second grip portions are opposed to one another and said latch is opposed to said catch, wherein said first and second grip portions move about said hinge to make contact with one another and said latch engages said catch when said first and second grip portions make contact.
  • Fig. 3 is a side view of the clip device of Fig. 2;
  • Fig. 4 is a top view of a general embodiment for a pump mechanism useful for this invention, showing generic one-way valves;
  • Fig. 8 is a perspective view of an alternative pump mechanism that may be molded in one shot
  • Fig. 10 is a perspective view of a personal dispenser in accordance with another embodiment of this invention, with a portion removed to show the absence of particular pump mechanisms;
  • Collapsible container 12 is collapsible such that its internal volume 26 can decrease through the movement of the walls that define that volume.
  • Collapsible container 12 is thus not limited to the flexible bag type container shown, and may be virtually any container capable of collapsing upon the removal of fluid from the internal volume.
  • Pump mechanism 30 is fixed to collapsible container 12 at fitment 32 (sealed at front edge 22, the portion of edge 22 that would cover and secure fitment 32 being removed in the Fig.), such that collapsible dosing chamber 34 resides within internal volume 26, surrounded by fluid F, while dispensing nozzle 36 extends exteriorly of internal volume 26. Pump mechanism 30 may thus be considered to be partially retained within internal volume 26.
  • collapsible container 12 is sealed at all edges such that, each time fluid is dispensed, internal volume 26 is reduced by the volume of the unit dose, i.e., substantially by the volume of dosing chamber 34, although it will be appreciated that the squeezing of dosing chamber 34 may fail to expel the entire volume of dosing chamber 34. Because collapsible container 12 is sealed and collapses when fluid is dispensed, the personal dispenser 10 (and other embodiments disclosed herein) has the added benefit of being capable of dispensing fluid in virtually any orientation (which may be distinguished from prior art dispensers that must be oriented in a particular way, typically against gravity, to dispense properly).
  • a clip device is shown and designated by the numeral 70 and is employed to associate a personal dispenser with an individual's clothing (i.e., to provide a wearable personal dispenser) either with or without lanyard device 50.
  • clip device 70 be created as a one-piece molded plastic clamp.
  • Clip device 70 includes opposed clamp members 72 and 74, joined at hinge 76.
  • Outlet 94 communicates between the dose volume and the opening in dispensing nozzle 36, and one-way valve 96 only allows for the flow of fluid from the dose volume to opening 40, i.e., one-way valve 96 only allows fluid to be dispensed from dosing chamber 34.
  • dosing chamber 34 is provided as a flexible diaphragm, such that, when it is squeezed by a user, its volume will decrease, forcing its contents through one-way valve 34 and out opening 40, and, when released from such a collapsed position, will expand. When expanding in this manner, fluid F will be drawn into dosing chamber 34 through inlet 90 and one-way valve 92.
  • dosing chamber 34 may be repeatedly squeezed and expanded to selectively dispense unit doses of fluid.
  • valve 216 to force the plastic to contact the inside diameter of the mold.
  • the closed end 220 of valve 216 is cut so as to provide an opening, as indicated at the numeral 222 in Fig. 8.
  • This inside out valve 216 with its flared end 214, is pushed inside of dosing chamber 202, as seen in Fig. 9, thereby forming an inlet conduit closed off by a duck-bill valve.
  • Valve 206 is fixed to the open end 218 of outlet 204 in a post-mold operation, and an on/off cap 208 may be placed thereover.
  • any of the personal dispensers disclosed herein may be used in a method for monitoring the maintenance of a sanitized work environment.
  • a plurality of disposable personal dispensers would be provided to workers at a work environment.
  • Each worker would be provided with a disposable personal dispenser that holds a plurality of unit doses of hand sanitizing fluid, and each worker would be expected to periodically sanitize their hands by dispensing one or more unit doses to their hands as generally disclosed above.
  • a worker's disposable personal dispenser is empty, he/she would be expected to exchange the empty personal dispenser for a new personal dispenser.

Abstract

L'invention concerne des distributeurs à usage personnel qui comprennent des conteneurs repliables qui sont associés à des mécanismes de pompage permettant de distribuer un fluide depuis l'intérieur des conteneurs repliables. Les mécanismes de pompage sont, de préférence, à fonctionnement sélectif, permettant de distribuer une dose unitaire de fluide. Les conteneurs repliables sont scellés de façon à leur permettre de perdre du volume au fur et à mesure que le fluide est distribué. L'invention concerne également des attaches et des éléments de logement permettant de retenir et de porter les distributeurs à usage personnel.
