Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a new and improved pouring adapter insert for use on bottles for liquid products.
  • Bottles for dispensing liquids are frequently provided with a pouring adapter fitment located within the neck of the bottle, which influences the flow and prevents spilling and dripping of the contents.
  • Such fitments usually fit over and engage the edge of the neck of the bottle and have provisions for egress of liquid and inlet of air. They frequently have an annular pouring lip.
  • U.S. Patent 3.980.211 discloses a pouring adapter- closure assembly which regulates the flow of the liquid to avoid spurting and glugging. It has however been found that this kind of configuration is not regulating the flow in the same satisfactory way for liquids with different types of viscosity.
  • U.S. Patent 3.693.847 discloses a bottle cap and pouring fitment assembly, which pouring fitment is located inside the neck of the bottle. Here again, it has been found that this pouring fitment does not operate equally well with liquids of different viscosities.
  • the desired quantity of liquid can be dispensed in a sufficiently short time without spurting or glugging, if the liquid has a certain degree of viscosity. Dispensing of a given quantity in a short period of time may be desirable e.g. for metered dispensing of liquid detergents or softeners,
  • the insert can be provided with other functional features which are already known like an annular drip free pouring lip, or a disc-like bottom wall for surge control of the product.
  • the pouring adapter insert is preferably made of a resilient flexible material to facilitate easy insertion into the bottle neck and subsequent stable positioning in said bottle neck.
  • Pouring adapter insert 1 as shown in Fig. 2 presents a circular wall, the top part 3 of which is vertical whereas the lower part 4 is slightly tapered.
  • the bottom surface has a conical shape.
  • the top edge of the insert is equipped with an annular drip-free pouring lip 8. Slightly below this pouring lip 8 a peripheral horizontal flange 7 is provided to position the insert on the upper edge of the bottle neck.
  • the diameter of the pouring adapter insert is such that the vertical part 3 of the wall frictionally engages the interior of the bottle neck.
  • a certain number of slots 5 are foreseen in the tapered part 4 of the wall.
  • Figure 1 shows a top plan view of the same pouring adapter insert 1, whereby 7 indicates the peripheral positioning flange, 8 the peripheral drip-free pouring lip, 6 the conical bottom and 5 the slots foreseen in the tapered part 4 of the wall.
  • Figure 3 shows the pouring adapter insert of figure 2 frictionally engaging vertical bottle neck 2 and resting with flange 7 on the upper edge 9 of said vertical bottle neck 2.
  • the dimensions and number of slits is dependent on the quantity of liquid to be dispensed, the viscosity of the liquid to be dispensed and the speed at which this has to be achieved. It has, however, been found that, when the number of slits is at least 5, there is no orientation problem when inserting the pouring adapter insert into a bottle neck of a bottle not having a perfectly cylindrical shape.
  • the above described pouring adapter insert has been tested for dispensing a liquid having a viscosity ranging from 50 to 10 0 CPS.
  • the result to be reached was to have 37 cc delivered within 2 sec. without spurting or glugging and without the need for a measuring device. This was absolutely impossible without insert since the flow was dependent upon the user as no controlling means were provided.
  • the type of flow control device as described in the above U.S. patents 3,693,847 or 3,980,211 after having adapted the dimensions to the viscosity of the liquid to be dispensed, it was found that, in order to dispense the desired quantity, more than 2 sec. were required and some glugging still occurred when it was tried to dispense the liquid more rapidly. Testing the inserts with a transparent bottle neck clearly indicated that it was the way in which the incoming air was meeting the egressing liquid, that was creating the nlugging.
