Description

PORTABLE AUTOMATIC BATCHING DEVICE EQUIPPED WITH
IMPROVED CARTRIDGES
The present invention refers to a portable automatic batching device equipped with improved cartridges, which is compact, light-weight and of reduced sizes, for producing at home customized cosmetics, in particular nail enamels.
As known, dye-meters are batching machines for industrial use for preparing dyeing compounds, such as paints, enamels, dyes, typically comprising a plurality of storage tanks of individual dyeing components and of devices for batching and delivering such components adapted to draw from individual tanks accurate amounts of a component, depending on desired composition, in order to obtain the final desired compound. Such machines have relevant sizes and weights, are relatively costly and therefore are unsuitable for a personal use and at home for producing customized dyeing compounds according to user's will.
In order to solve the above inconveniences and to comply with the growing request by users to be able to customize their own cosmetic products, the art proposed "on the counter" batching devices and systems which allow producing, upon request, in a shop or at home, such products. Examples of such devices and systems are disclosed in US2003069667 , US2004133306, US2002082745 , US2006283521,
US2007253280, EP0443741, US5903465, WO0064570, US6510366, US5399013, DE4110299, US4871262, US5622692, ES2308948, O2005044041.
Known devices and systems however are still scarcely practically usable, above all because, due to the presence of solvents inside some cosmetic components and due to their extreme volatility, they generate, during their mixing, the dispersion in the surrounding environment of acute chemical smells, consequently resulting scarcely adapted to be used at home or in small environments.
Moreover, in known devices and systems, the various cosmetic components are contained inside cartridges which do not prevent their contact with air, causing them to quickly get viscous, till they completely dry, making thereby impossible to correctly store them in time.
Therefore, object of the present invention is solving the above prior art problems, by providing an automatic batching device equipped with improved cartridges which prevents or at least strongly limits the propagation in the external environment of volatile components of the product contained inside the cartridges.
Moreover, an object of the present invention s providing an automatic batching device equipped with cartridges which guarantee the storage in time of the cosmetic product contained therein.
Another object of the present invention is providing a portable automatic batching device which is compact, light-weight and of reduced sizes, for producing at home customized cosmetics, in particular nail enamels, which prevents or at least strongly limits the propagation in the external environment of volatile components of the products contained inside the cartridges of such batching device.
Moreover, an object of the present invention is providing a portable automatic batching device which is compact, light—weight and of reduced sizes, for producing at home customized cosmetics, in particular nail enamels, which guarantees the storage in time of cosmetic products contained inside the cartridges of such batching device.
The above and other objects and advantages of the invention, as will appear from the following description, are obtained with a portable automatic batching device as claimed in claim 1. Preferred embodiments and non-trivial variations of the present invention are the subject matter of the dependent claims.
It is intended that the enclosed claims are an integral part of the present description.
It will be immediately obvious that numerous variations and modifications (for example related to shape, sizes, arrangements and parts with equivalent functionality) could be made to what is described, without departing from the scope of the invention as appears from the enclosed claims.
The present invention will be better described by some preferred embodiments thereof, provided as a non-limiting example, with reference to the enclosed drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a side sectional view of a preferred embodiment of the improved cartridge according to the present invention;
Figure 2 shows an enlarged side sectional view of a component of the improved cartridge according to the present invention;
Figure 3 shows an exploded perspective view of a preferred embodiment of the portable automatic batching device according to the present invention; and
Figure 4 shows a side sectional view of a preferred embodiment of the portable automatic batching device according to the present invention.
With reference to Figure 1, it is possible to note that the improved cartridge 1 according to the present invention for portable automatic batching devices comprises at least one external containing envelope 3, substantially rigid, inside which at least one flexible container 5 is arranged, containing therein at least one dyeing component of a dyeing compound, for example a cosmetic product such as nail enamel, to be delivered outside upon request. Advantageously, therefore, the dyeing component is not contained directly inside the external containing envelope 3, like instead occurs in prior art cartridges, but inside the flexible container 5, preferably made as a bag made of a suitably elastic plastic material, so that the compound itself is not in contact with air in order to prevent any drying or viscous phenomenon from occurring, as happens for this type of compounds.
In particular, the flexible container 5 is connected outwards through at least one delivery duct 7 and by interposing at least one delivery head 9 equipped with at least one delivery nozzle 11, the delivery head 9 having a rest position, (like the one, for example, shown in Figure 1) in which such delivery head 9 keeps such delivery duct 7 closed and air-tightly insulates the dyeing component contained inside the flexible container 5, and a delivery position (not shown) in which such delivery head 9 opens such delivery duct 7, communicating it with the delivery nozzle 9 and allowing the dyeing component to go out of the flexible container 5 towards outside through the delivery duct 7 and the delivery nozzle 11.
Still more preferably, the delivery duct 7 and the delivery nozzle 11 are arranged so that the delivery position of the delivery head 9 is reached by relatively approaching the external containing envelope 3 towards the delivery head 9, by pressing, for example along the direction designated by arrow P in Figure 1, the envelope 3 against the head 9 or, vice versa, by pressing, for example along the direction designated by arrow P' in Figure 1, the head 9 against the envelope 3. The rest position is then reached again when the exerted thrusting force P or P ' ceases: for such purpose, between the external containing envelope 3 and the delivery head 9, suitable elastic means can be interposed, adapted to take back the delivery head 9 to its rest position when such thrusting force P or P ' ceases.
Moreover, the delivery head 9, in addition to allowing the delivery of the dyeing component contained inside the flexible container 3, can also allow its batching: for example, the delivery head 9 can allow the volumetric batching of the dyeing component depending on the amount of exerted pressure P or P' , and therefore depending on the relative approach between the delivery head 9 and the external containing envelope 3, and/or the number of pressure and release cycles P or P ' exerted on the delivery head 9 or on the external containing envelope 3.
Figure 2 shows a preferred embodiment of the delivery head 9 of the cartridge 1 according to the present invention, such head 9 being preferably of a type substantially known in the art. In particular, the delivery head 9 is composed of: - at least one actuating push-button 13 integral with at least one stem 15 and sliding under the action of the thrusting force P or P' along a longitudinal axis A-A with respect to a supporting body 17 fastened to the external containing envelope 3, for example by interposing at least one screw-type closing member 19 and at least one sealing member 21, composed for example of one or more gaskets;
- at least one piston 23 integral and coaxial with the stem 15;
- at least one ball valve 25 adapted to be opened by applying the thrusting force P or P' to communicate the delivery duct 7 with the delivery nozzle 11;
- at least one helical spring 27 composing the elastic means and arranged coaxially with the longitudinal axis A-A around the stem 15.
The present invention further refers to a portable automatic batching device 100, like the one shown for example in Figures 3 and 4, for producing a dyeing compound, for example a nail enamel, starting from one or more dyeing components each one of which is contained inside a cartridge 1 like the previously described one. The portable automatic batching device 100 according to the present invention therefore comprises at least one drum 101 radially equipped with a plurality of seats 103, each one of such seats 103 being adapted to house at least one of such cartridges 1, such drum 101 being preferably coupled with at least one internal hub 105 and being rotating, preferably related to such hub 105, around a rotation axis R-R under the action of suitable first actuating means made, for example, as at least one electric motor 107 integral with such hub 105 and rotating such drum 101 around such rotation axis R-R.
The portable automatic batching device 100 according to the present invention further comprises pushing means 109 adapted to exert, upon a command from suitable second actuating means, a thrusting force P on the external containing envelope 3 of one of such cartridges 1 arranged in a suitable position by the rotation of the drum 105 around the rotation axis R-R, and to take the related delivery head 9 in its delivery position. In particular, the pushing means are composed of at least one pressing member 111 taken to slide by the second actuating means 113 along an axis parallel with such rotation axis R-R to exert the thrusting force P on the cartridge 1, and in particular on the related external containing envelope 3, when arranged by the drum 101 in a suitable position.
The portable automatic batching device 100 according to the present invention further comprises at least one housing 115 adapted to house a mixing container of the dyeing compound (not shown) inside which the dyeing component delivered by the cartridge 1 is poured.
The first actuating means are then adapted to rotate, upon a command, the drum 101 around the rotation axis R-R to take at least one of the cartridges 1 (for example the one enclosed by dashed box A of Figure 3) in a delivery position so that its own external containing envelope 3 is coaxially corresponding with the pressing member 111 and its own delivery head 9 corresponds to the housing 115 to be able to deliver the dyeing component contained inside the flexible container 5 through the delivery nozzle 11 inside the mixing container of the dyeing compound, for example a nail enamel, once such pressing member 111 exerts the thrusting force P on the external containing envelope 3. Obviously, the portable automatic batching device 100 according to the present invention further comprises electric supplying means: for example, such means comprise supply batteries 117, for example of the rechargeable type, in order to avoid the more uncomfortable type of supply through mains cables.
Moreover, the portable automatic batching device 100 according to the present invention comprises managing means adapted to control the operation of such actuating means 107, 113: in particular, depending on a formulation of dyeing compound to make by mixing one or more dyeing components, each one of which is contained inside a respective cartridge 1 arranged on the drum 101, the managing means are adapted to drive the operation of the first actuating means 107 to rotate the drum 101 in order to sequentially take the cartridges 1 containing the dyeing components, required by the formulation, in the delivery position to deliver every time such component inside the mixing container of the dyeing compound arranged in the housing 115. Moreover, the managing means are adapted to control the operation of the second actuating means 113 in order to apply the necessary thrusting force P for delivering the amount of dyeing component required by the formulation of the desired dyeing compound.
Preferably, each cartridge 1 can be equipped with suitable recognizing means, such as for example a RFID label arranged on its related external containing envelope 3, adapted to identify at least the type of dyeing component contained inside the related flexible container 5 and cooperating with related reading means of such recognizing means so that the managing means are able to know the exact position of each dyeing component around the drum 101.
Obviously, all above operations, and in particular the check, every time, of the dyeing component to be delivered and its related amount could be manually driven by a user through suitable control means which allow directly controlling the operation of the actuating means 107, 113.
Alternatively, in order to make the operation del batching device 100 according to the present invention completely automatic, such batching device 100 can comprise at least storage means, composed of at least one database, adapted to store at least one formulation of a dyeing compound desired by the user and cooperating with such managing means to automatically make the dyeing compound depending on such formulation. Obviously, the control means can comprise input and selecting means which allow a user to select the desired formulation among a possible plurality of such formulations stored in such storage means and, possibly, modify such formulation at will.
In addition, the batching device 100 according to the present invention can comprise connecting means, for example through a USB outlet, a Bluetooth connection, etc., to at least one device capable of being connected to the web, for example a personal computer, a smartphone, etc., through which the above formulations can be found and downloaded, for example when available on suitable on-line sites, and store such formulations in the storage means of the batching device 100.
Additionally or alternatively, the same batching device 100 could be equipped with web interface means, cooperating with the managing means and/or the storage means, which allow an Internet connection to such on-line sites to directly find and download the desired formulations in the storage means without needing to interpose such web-connectable device.
