Definitions

• the present invention describes a portable dispenser suitable for generating a flow of liquid under pressure without using any energy source.
• metal containers oxidize by depositing particles at the bottom of the container.
• the document closest to the invention ES1098105 U describes a pressure fluid accumulation device.
• the device comprises a sealed container with a deformable bag.
• the deformable bag contains a pressure fluid and the container contains a pressure gas housed between the walls of the device and the deformable bag.
• the device described by ES1098105 U is suitable for obtaining a liquid flow rate without any energy source.
• the use of the device may produce contaminated liquids or water when the deformable bag is broken. If the deformable bag breaks the water would fall by gravity to the bottom of the device, being accumulated. The accumulated water will produce the proliferation of microorganisms. Upon refilling the device the clean water will be contaminated by the accumulated water.
• the device with ES1098105 U does not allow the replacement of the deformable bag.
• the problem solved by the present invention is to obtain a liquid flow rate without power supply and avoid contamination in the liquid.
• the solution found by the inventors is the dispenser described in the claims.
• the dispenser comprises a deformable bag that stores the pressure liquid and a pressure gas housed between the deformable bag and the wall of the dispenser.
• the dispenser is connected to a pressure gauge that measures the pressure in the deformable bag.
• the pressure gauge prevents contamination in the tank, because a break in the deformable bag will cause a pressure drop.
• the user can replace the membrane and clean the dispenser.
• the dispenser is a container with a threaded neck where the upper end of the deformable bag is trapped by the cap when the container is closed. This configuration optimizes the tightness of the container since the deformable bag acts as an O-ring.
• FIG. 1 illustrates the essential elements of the invention
• Figure 2 illustrates the preferred embodiment of the invention
• Figure 3 is a zenital view of the plug and deformable bag
• the invention described according to Figure 1 comprises a portable dispenser formed by a sealed container (1) comprising:
• the container has a pressure gauge (3) attached to measure the pressure inside the deformable bag.
• the invention comprises the dispenser described by ES1098105 U, but a pressure gauge has been coupled. The manometer allows to know if the deformable bag has been broken, by the pressure drop, avoiding the contamination of the bottom by the accumulation of the liquid.
• the container can be made of any material such as metal, fiberglass or plastics. Additionally, the dispenser can couple heating means, handles, covers and other means known to those skilled in the art.
• the dispenser is suitable for, for example, vehicles, utility vehicles, caravans, campsites, boats, humanitarian aid, etc.
• the dispenser is suitable for any liquid, especially for water.
• FIG. 2 shows the preferred embodiment of the invention.
• the container (1) has a threaded neck (6) that closes with a cap (7).
• the upper part of the deformable bag (4), according to figure 3, is trapped by a stopper (7) and the perimeter of the neck (6) acting as an O-ring.
• the plug comprises 3 holes in which the liquid outlet (8) with a diameter of 1 ⁇ 2 inch, the liquid inlet (9) with a diameter of 1 ⁇ 2 inch and the pressure gauge (3) with a diameter of 1 ⁇ 4 inch
• the container (1) is closed with the cap (7) and the deformable bag (4) acts as an O-ring.
• an air pressure of 0.3 bar is introduced into the assembly line in the volume created by the walls of the container (1) and the outside of the deformable bag (4).
• a liquid flow rate at a pressure of 3-4 bar is introduced through the liquid inlet.
• the pressure gauge will indicate this pressure inside the deformable bag (4) that stores the liquid. The pressure will decrease as the container is emptied. If the deformable bag (4) breaks, the pressure gauge (3) will detect a sudden drop in the Pressure.
• the deformable bag (4) can be easily replaced by opening the screw cap (7).
• the liquid outlets can be, for example, a flexo with stopcocks to regulate the flow of the outlet.
• the dispenser described allows to obtain a flow of liquid at 3-4 bars without an external energy source. Thus, for a 20 liter container, a constant flow rate is obtained for 7-10 minutes.
• the dispenser described is also suitable for raising the liquid to a minimum height of 3 meters.
• the container is made of high density polyethylene and is manufactured by blowing.
• the thickness of the walls is between 6-8 millimeters.
• the screw cap (7) is manufactured by injection with high density polyethylene.
• the use of high density polyethylene prevents corrosion of the containers and deformation of the containers due to pressure variations.
