Abstract

Systems and methods to dispense various liquids, foams and sprays, of various viscosities, such as, for example, paints and stains, from a self-contained wearable apparatus are presented. These devices use the "bag within a bag" or inner container/outer container Flair® technology. A device can be provided that is portable and self-contained, can be worn by a user, and can utilize pre-filled containers of the product to be dispensed, thus obviating use of a separate paint container to which a user is effectively tethered. Novel activation mechanisms allow the system to intelligently sense when a user desires actuate/deactuate the device. These mechanisms incorporate fail-safe sensors that lock out the on/off switch if a user's hand is not sensed as actually holding the paint brush. Various Flair® bottles can be used, with various nozzles, brushes, rollers and other dispensing devices. Novel performs for the manufacture and blowing of multi-layer Flair® bottles are also presented, as well as details of multi-layer Flair® systems and their assembly.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS received by the International Bureau on 24 June 2013 (24.06.2013)
1 . A liquid dispensing device, comprising: a bottle comprising an inner container and an outer container, the inner container filled with a liquid; a valve releasably closing flow from the inner container; a hand-held dispenser having a detection zone and an activation zone; and a conduit connected between the valve and the hand-held dispenser; wherein, in operation, if both the detection zone and the activation zone are activated, the valve is released and the liquid is dispensed upon activation of the activation zone.
2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the bottle is a container within a container type bottle.
3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the valve is a pinch valve.
4. The device of claim 1 , further comprising a power pack to provide a displacing medium to the bottle.
5. The device of claim 4, wherein the power pack further provides electrical power to the valve.
6. The device of claim 2, wherein the bottle is one of a standard container within a container bottle, a piston container within a container bottle and a multi-layer container within a container system bottle.
7. The device of claim 2, wherein the bottle is one of standard container within a container bottle and a piston container within a container bottle, and further comprising one or more additional container within a container type bottles, each of said additional container within a container type bottles having a valve.
8. The device of claim 3, wherein the bottle and the pinch valve are provided in a container holder.
9. The device of claim 4, wherein each of the container holder and the power pack are portable, and can be carried or worn by a user.
10. The device of claim 1 , wherein the hand-held dispenser comprises one of a PCB, microprocessor and microcontroller.
1 1 . The device of claim 10, wherein said one of a PCB, microprocessor and microcontroller receives signals from said detection zone and said activation zone and outputs a control signal to the valve.
12. The device of claim 1 , wherein the valve is normally closed, and upon receipt of a control signal from said one of a PCB, microprocessor and microcontroller, opens.
13. The device of claim 12, wherein when said valve ceases to receive said control signal, said valve returns to the closed state.
14. The device of claim 9, wherein the container holder and powerpack are integrated in a portable unit.
15. The device of claim 7, wherein the various valves can each be held open for a different time so as to achieve a desired mix of liquids actually dispensed.
16. The device of claim 15, wherein each bottle has a different component color of paint or stain, and they are mixed together at dispensing time into a desired output color.
17. The device of claim 15, wherein each bottle has a component of an adhesive, epoxy or caulk, which cannot be mixed with any other component prior to the time of dispensing.
18. A liquid dispensing or suctioning system, comprising: a container within a container bottle or reservoir; a nozzle; a valve; a conduit tube connecting said container within a container bottle or reservoir and said nozzle; and a pressure source, wherein flow into or out of the nozzle is activated by a user.
19. The system of claim 18, wherein the bottle or reservoir is one of a standard container within a container bottle, a piston container within a container bottle and a multi-layer container within a container system bottle.
20. The systems of either of claims 18 and 19, wherein at least two of said bottles are used in tandem.
21 . The system of claim 19, wherein the valve is provided in one of the nozzle and the top of the Flair® container.
22. The system of claim 19, wherein the container within a container bottle or reservoir is provided in a dispensing gun, said gun being supported on a user by a harness.
23. The system of claim 22, wherein the pressure source is a pump, connected to the dispensing gun by a tube.
24. The system of claim 19, wherein the nozzle is a suction nozzle, and wherein in operation the system suctions a liquid into the container within a container bottle or reservoir for later disposal.

STATEMENT UNDER ARTICLE 19 (1)

Claims 2, 6-7, 18, 19-22, 24, 25, 26, 30-35 have been amended to clarify the terms "Flair®" "Flair® bottle" "Flair® type bottle." The terms have been replaced with "container within a container bottle" "container within a container" or "container within a container system bottle." Thus, for example, claim 6 now reads "The device of claim 2, wherein the bottle is one of a "standard container within a container bottle, a piston container within a container bottle and a multi -layer container within a container system bottle."

The Specification as originally filed clearly described the meaning of "Flair®" technology, as follows:

Such exemplary devices incorporate various embodiments and types of the "bag within a bag" or inner container/outer container Flair® technology developed and provided by Dispensing Technologies , B.V. of Helmond, The Netherlands.

It is noted that Flair® technology generally involves bag in a bag, or bag in a bottle devices that are integrally molded from one or more performs. A displacing medium can be introduced between the outer container and an inner container so as to pressurize the inner container, thus facilitating the emptying the contents of the inner container without said contents ever coming in contact with the displacing medium or the outside atmosphere. Flair® technology also includes, for example, valves, nozzles, pumps and other parts and ancillary equipment used in connection with such bag in bag, bag in bottle, or inner container/outer container technologies. As noted, the present invention is directed to various uses of Flair® technology as applied to the dispensing of paint, stain and the like, such as can be used in the construction industry, or by individuals doing home and/or building repair and maintenance. Using essentially identical principles, the present invention is also directed to various uses of Flair® technology as applied to the dispensing of beverages and foodstuffs, as well as sprays, stains, paints, adhesives, caulks, lubricants, foams and the like, using one or multiple liquid

components, and in the case of sprays and foams, an air component as well.

Specification at page 7, lines 8-29.

Thus, the amendments reflect the plain meaning of "Flair", Flair® bottle" "Flair® type bottle" and "Flair® technology" as provided in the original Specification.

Additionally, claims 36-37 have been amended to depend upon claim 35, as amended, which is the correct dependency as correctly noted by the ISA/KR in the International Search Report.

Finally, claims 8-9 have been amended to depend upon base claims that provide antecedent basis for the elements "pinch valve" and "power pack."
