Definitions

  • This invention relates to material dispensers of the type including a container having a mouth or neck, an elongated applicator that can be inserted and withdrawn through the container neck for picking up and transporting a quantity of material from the container, and a wiper associated with the neck for removing excess material from the applicator as the applicator is withdrawn through the neck.
  • the invention is specifically directed to dispensers of such type having new and improved means for retaining the wiper in the neck.
  • the dispensers that are the subject of the invention are adapted to hold a small amount of material for direct end-use application.
  • a typical applicator for such dispensers is a brush or similar material conveying/applying head carried on a stem or shaft projecting from a holder, which the user manipulates to apply the material.
  • material herein refers to materials that can be picked up by the applicator, as exemplified by substances which are themselves liquid or incorporate a liquid vehicle, e.g. liquid and pasty cosmetic substances such as mascara.
  • the invention is directed to dispensers for liquid or pasty cosmetic materials, especially mascara, to which detailed reference will be made herein for purposes of specific illustration.
  • a conventional mascara dispenser includes a container with an externally threaded neck for receiving an internally threaded container cap.
  • the cap also serves as the applicator holder used to manipulate the brush or other applicator head.
  • the applicator head is immersed in the mascara.
  • the applicator shaft and head are withdrawn through the neck, transporting a quantity of the mascara for immediate application to the user's eyelashes.
  • a flexible wiper is mounted in the dispenser neck to engage the applicator head as the applicator is withdrawn from the dispenser.
  • This flexible wiper removes excess material from the head and/or the shaft allowing the excess material to fall back or flow back into the container.
  • a typical or preferred form of wiper includes an elastic annular lip disposed in the container neck in surrounding relation to the path of the applicator through the neck. Such a wiper is shaped and dimensioned to engage the applicator snugly and conformingly as the applicator is withdrawn through the neck.
  • the wiper may also include a sealing portion disposed at the upper end of the neck for cooperating with the cap to provide a fluid-tight closure of the container.
  • the wiper is commonly an open-ended tubular element insertable in the container neck and defining a central passage in which the lip is formed. At its upper end, this wiper element includes an outwardly projecting annular sealing flange for overlying the rim of the neck to constitute the aforementioned sealing portion engageable by the cap.
  • the wiper element is advantageously a unitary body molded of a suitable elastomer, with an outer diameter dimensioned for a snug fit within the container neck, and may be assembled with the container by insertion into the neck.
  • the retaining flange arrangement is attended with various problems. It is difficult to assemble the wiper element with the container when the wiper element has an outwardly projecting flange adjacent its lower end. Moreover, in the production of containers by the usual injection molding techniques, the internal radius at the neck shoulder is not highly controllable, so that there may be considerable variation in this dimension from container to container; as a result, in at least some containers, the retaining flange may not have sufficient engagement with the container interior to prevent dislodgement of the wiper element. The inherent flexibility of this flange (necessary to enable initial insertion) also limits its effectiveness as a retainer.
  • the invention provides a material dispenser comprising wiper-retaining means.
  • the present invention in a first aspect, broadly contemplates the provision of a liquid material dispenser including a container for holding a liquid material, the container having a generally tubular neck; an applicator having a head insertable into and withdrawable from the container through the neck for carrying a quantity of the liquid material out of the container; and wiper means for removing excess liquid material from the head as the head is withdrawn from the container through the neck, the wiper means comprising a generally tubular element disposed in the neck and defining a central passage within which the applicator head is insertable and withdrawable through the neck as aforesaid, and having a lip disposed in said passage for engaging and wiping the applicator head; wherein the improvement comprises means, comprising a sleeve disposed in closely surrounding relation to the wiper element within the neck and having an interference fit with the wiper element and the neck, for retaining the wiper element within the neck against dislodgement by forces exerted by the applicator head on the wiper element when the applicator head
  • the neck has an upper rim
  • the wiper element has upper and lower extremities and an outwardly projecting annular flange at its upper extremity for overlying the rim, the sleeve being disposed below the flange.
  • the wiper element has an outwardly projecting shoulder adjacent its lower extremity and the sleeve has upper and lower ends respectively engageable with the flange and the shoulder for preventing axial displacement of the sleeve relative to the wiper element.
  • the wiper element is conveniently or preferably resiliently deformable such that its lower extremity and the shoulder are insertable into the sleeve through the upper end of the sleeve, and, upon passage of the shoulder entirely through the sleeve and beyond the lower end thereof, the shoulder resiles outwardly to engage the lower end of the sleeve.
  • the sleeve bears at least one outwardly projecting barb for engaging an internal wall portion of the container neck for preventing upward movement of the sleeve relative to the neck.
  • the sleeve is provided with at least two such barbs, spaced apart around the sleeve.
  • Each barb can be made resiliently deformable to permit insertion of the sleeve into the neck through the rim of the neck; advantageously, each barb is formed by cutting and striking out a tab portion of the sleeve such that the tab portion has a free upper edge.
  • the upper end of said sleeve can be formed with an outwardly projecting flange extending between the flange of the wiper element and the rim of the neck.
  • this sleeve flange slopes radially downwardly and outwardly.
  • the sleeve is harder than the neck and the wiper.
  • the container is a molded plastic body
  • the wiper element is a molded elastomeric body
  • the sleeve is fabricated of metal.
  • the invention in a particularly important specific sense is embodied in dispensers for mascara.
  • the invention contemplates the provision of a wiper device for use in a liquid material dispenser of the above-described type, including the foregoing retaining means comprising a sleeve disposed in closely surrounding relation to a wiper element and insertable therewith in the neck of the dispenser container, the sleeve having an interference fit with the wiper and the neck.
  • the invention provides the use in a liquid material dispenser comprising a tubular wiper element disposed in the dispenser neck of retaining means between the wiper element and the dispenser neck and having an interference-fit therewith to retain the wiper element in the dispenser neck, the retaining means optionally comprising one barb, or two or more peripherally spaced barbs, to engage the dispenser neck whereby to resist removal of the retaining means from the dispenser neck, and the wiper element and the retaining means optionally comprising opposed abutment surfaces to resist relative axial movement of the wiper element and the retaining means.
  • the invention includes a wiper element retainer for use in a liquid material dispenser comprising a tubular sleeve adapted to be disposed between the wiper element and the dispenser neck in an interference fit therewith.
  • the invention will be described as embodied in a mascara dispenser of a type sold for personal use, with the contained mascara being applied directly to the user's eyelashes. It will be appreciated, however, that in its broader aspects the invention is also applicable to dispensers for other cosmetic materials, and indeed to dispensers for materials other than cosmetics, wherein the material container includes a wiping element mounted in its neck for removing excess material from a brush or other applicator head as the head is withdrawn from the container.
  • a conventional mascara dispenser of a type in which an embodiment of the present invention may be incorporated includes a generally cylindrical container 10 for holding a body of mascara 11 .
  • a hollow cylindrical neck 12 At the top of the container there is provided an opening or mouth in the form of a hollow cylindrical neck 12 , extending upwardly from an annular shoulder 12a and having a rim 12b at its upper extremity.
  • the neck bears an external thread 14 for mating engagement with an internal thread (not shown) formed in a cap 16 which seats on the neck to close the container.
  • the container 10 (including the neck) is a unitary, injection-molded plastic bottle, self-sustaining in shape and relatively rigid; the cap may also be a rigid molded plastic body, and may have an external metal sheath.
  • a rigid rod or stem 18 is secured to (or formed integrally with) and extends downwardly from the interior of the cap, coaxially therewith, so as to be inserted through the neck 12 into the interior of the container when the cap is seated on the neck.
  • the stem 18 carries an applicator head comprising a brush 20 for picking up, transporting and applying mascara from the body 11 .
  • the brush as shown, is a conventional mascara brush constituted of an array of laterally projecting bristles gripped in a twisted wire core which is mounted in and extends downwardly from the distal extremity of the stem 18 so that the brush is located in the lower part of the container when the cap is seated on the neck 12 .
  • the cap, stem and brush together constitute the applicator of the mascara dispenser.
  • the brush and stem can be withdrawn and inserted through the neck 12 with the cap 16 serving as a handle for the applicator.
  • the cap 16 serving as a handle for the applicator.
  • the cap When the cap is in the closed position, the brush and at least the lower part of the stem are immersed in the mascara 11 at the bottom of the container.
  • a quantity of the mascara is picked up and carried out of the container by the brush for application as desired. Almost always, the amount of mascara in the container is sufficient for multiple applications, the applicator being reinserted in the container as needed to pick up additional mascara.
  • the cap is retightened on the neck for storage until the next series of multiple successive applications.
  • the dispenser is provided with a wiper 22 defining a central through passage 23 .
  • This wiper is a generally tubular, open-ended, unitary molded element fabricated of an elastomer and having at its upper extremity an outwardly projecting annular flange 24 overlying and seating on the upper rim 12b of the neck while the lower extremity 22a extends into the container below the shoulder 12 a.
  • the flange 24 serves both to retain the wiper positively against downward movement through the neck beyond its intended position, and to constitute a sealing seat engageable by the cap 16 , i.e. when the cap is fully screwed onto the container neck, for assured liquid-tight closure of the container.
  • the wiper element is initially assembled with the container 10 by simply inserting the wiper element into the neck 12 in the illustrated orientation.
  • an annular internal lip 26 Disposed in the passage 23 , and formed integrally with the wiper element, is an annular internal lip 26 dimensioned to engage and wipe the bristles of the brush 20 each time the brush is withdrawn from the container 10 .
  • the lip is sufficiently flexible and elastic to permit the brush to pass in either an upward or a downward direction; as the brush, loaded with mascara from the body 11 , passes the lip in an upward direction, the lip removes excess mascara from the rod and brush, and this removed excess drips or falls from the lip back down into the interior of the container.
  • FIG. 1 One such retaining expedient of the prior art is illustrated in FIG. 1.
  • This expedient comprises an outwardly projecting annular retaining flange 28 formed on the body of the wiper element 22 adjacent the lower extremity of the latter element, in such position as to underlie the shoulder 12a and engage the inner top surface of the container 10 when the wiper element is fully inserted in the neck 12 , i.e., when the sealing flange 24 seats on the rim 12a of the neck.
  • the retaining flange 28 functions properly, it and the flange 24 cooperatively lock the wiper element in the neck 12 against substantial vertical movement in either direction.
  • the retaining flange 28 In order to enable initial insertion of the wiper element into the neck during assembly of the dispenser, the retaining flange 28 must be sufficiently flexible to deform or fold up so that it can pass downwardly through the neck before emerging below the shoulder 12a and opening out into its illustrated unstressed configuration. Although the properties of the elastomer constituting the wiper element facilitate such deformation, the wiper-inserting operation is unavoidably hindered to some extent by the presence of this flange. Moreover, the requisite flexibility of the flange 28 detracts from its ability to resist upwardly-directed force acting on the wiper when the brush, while being withdrawn from the container, engages the lip 26 .
  • flange 28 as a retainer are exacerbated by variations, from container to container, in the radius of shoulder 12a , inherent in the injection-molding operation by which the containers are produced; these variations affect the effective area of engagement of the flange 28 with the inner top surface of the container so that, in at least some containers, a flange 28 of given dimensions will not engage the container adequately to hold the wiper in place.
  • the present invention in the embodiment now to be described, may be incorporated in a container of the type shown in FIG. 1 in place of the flange 28 . That is to say, the invention eliminates the provision of flange 28 together with its hindrance to assembly of the wiper and container. At the same time, the invention affords superior effectiveness of retention of the wiper element in the container neck, and does so in a way that is not dependent on the radius dimension of the shoulder 12a , so that ordinary manufacturing variations in that radius are tolerable.
  • FIG. 2 A wiping device 30 embodying the invention, and suitable for use in the dispenser of FIG. 1 in place of the above-described wiper 22 , is shown in FIG. 2.
  • This device includes a wiper element 32 which is generally similar to the element 22 of FIG. 1 in being a unitary, tubular, open-ended, molded elastomeric element dimensioned to be insertable within the neck 12 coaxially therewith; in having a central through passage 33 , an outwardly projecting annular sealing flange 34 at its upper extremity for overlying the rim of the container neck, and an annular wiping lip 36 within the passage 33 for engaging the rod and brush 20 each time the rod and brush are withdrawn from or inserted in the container, and for wiping excess mascara from the brush and rod as the brush and rod are thus withdrawn; and in having a vertical extent such that, in its inserted position in the neck, its lower extremity 32a projects below the neck shoulder 12a .
  • the device 30 of FIG. 2 further includes an open-ended and generally cylindrical retaining sleeve 40 which, in assembled condition, closely laterally surrounds the cylindrical exterior side wall of the wiper element 32 in coaxial relation thereto.
  • the sleeve 40 is harder than either the elastomeric wiper element 32 or the plastic container neck 12 ; in the described embodiment, sleeve 40 is fabricated of metal.
  • the relative dimensions and configurations of the wiper element 32 and sleeve 40 are such as to provide an interference fit between the sleeve and wiper element in the assembled condition represented in FIG. 2.
  • the sleeve 40 is formed with an outwardly projecting annular flange 42 that preferably slopes radially outwardly and downwardly.
  • the undersurface of the wiper flange 34 seats on the sleeve flange 42 , and may be provided with a complementary radially outward and downward slope to ensure a suitably close fit.
  • the vertical dimension of the sleeve 40 is such that when the flanges 34 and 42 are in engagement, the sleeve surrounds the wiper element 32 for most of the vertical extent of that element, with the lower end 44 of the sleeve disposed at a level near but somewhat above the lower extremity 32a of the wiper.
  • a narrow upwardly-facing annular outward offset or shoulder 46 is formed on the outer surface of the wiper element, to abut and engage the lower end edge 44a of the sleeve for positively preventing upward movement of the wiper element relative to the sleeve.
  • the sleeve-edge-abutting surface of the shoulder 46 is preferably oriented horizontally, i.e. at 90° to the vertical cylindrical side surfaces of the sleeve and wiper element, so as to provide an assured positive stop against any such relative upward movement of the wiper element.
  • the sleeve 40 is so formed that an interference fit is also achieved between the sleeve and the neck 12 when the sleeve is inserted into the neck.
  • the flange 42 interferes with the rim of the neck to prevent downward movement of the sleeve into the neck beyond its intended position.
  • the outer diameter of the sleeve is selected to provide a snug fit within the neck.
  • one or more flexible barbs 48 are formed in the sleeve, intermediate the flange 42 and the sleeve lower end 44 , so as to project outwardly and upwardly from the external surface of the sleeve, for engaging and cutting or biting into the internal wall of the neck to prevent upward displacement of the sleeve (and hence of the wiper element) relative to the neck.
  • each of the barbs 48 is an upwardly and outwardly opening tab cut in and struck slightly outwardly from the side wall of the sleeve at a level spaced below flange 42 and above lower end 44 .
  • Each tab is thus an integral portion of the sleeve side wall, joined thereto at the lower end of the tab and separated from the wall along the sides and top of the tab, such that the tab has a free horizontal sharp upper edge 50 .
  • each tab is bent (struck out) so that the sharp tab edge 50 protrudes slightly radially outwardly beyond the vertical cylindrical outer surface of the sleeve.
  • they are positioned at spaced apart locations around the periphery of the sleeve; in the embodiment shown, there are two such tabs or barbs 48 , spaced 180° apart around the sleeve.
  • the device 30 is assembled by inserting the lower extremity of the elastomeric wiper element 32 into the upper end of the sleeve 40 and pushing the wiper element downwardly through the sleeve until the shoulder 46 of the wiper element emerges below the lower end edge 44a of the sleeve.
  • the outer diameter of shoulder 46 is greater than the internal diameter of the sleeve, but as this difference in diameters is small (typically corresponding to little more than twice the thickness of the sleeve wall) and the wiper is a hollow elastomeric element, the shoulder portion of the wiper element can readily be compressed sufficiently to pass downwardly through the sleeve with little difficulty.
  • the device 30 is now ready to be inserted or mounted in the neck 12 of a container 10 , which may be identical to the container 10 of FIG. 1.
  • the device 30 is inserted downwardly into the container neck until the sleeve flange 42 seats against the rim 12b of the neck as shown in FIG. 2.
  • This insertion again, is performed without difficulty, as the wiper element shoulder 46 protrudes at most only slightly outwardly beyond the sleeve, and the tabs or barbs 48 are deformed or compressed into substantially flush relation with the cylindrical sleeve surface during downward movement of the sleeve into the neck.
  • the container After the wiper, sleeve and container have been assembled as described, and the container has been filled with mascara and supplied with a cap and applicator of the type shown in FIG. 1, the container is ready for use. Withdrawal of the brush 20 upwardly past the wiper lip exerts an upward force on the wiper element 30 and thus on the sleeve 40 , but since the tabs or barbs 48 are biased outwardly (against the inner wall of the neck), such upward force tends to cause the sharp upper edges 50 of the tabs to cut or bite into the wall of the neck, as best seen in FIG. 7. Thereby, the tabs or barbs positively restrain the sleeve and wiper element against any substantial displacement or upward movement relative to the neck, anchoring the wiper firmly in place.
  • the interference fit between wiper and sleeve and between sleeve and neck effectively retains the sleeve against undesired withdrawal from the neck, but still allows simple insertion of the wiper into the sleeve and of the sleeve into the neck.
  • the sleeve-neck interference fit is achieved by inserting the sleeve into the neck. As the sleeve is inserted, the barb or group of barbs is or are compressed by the inner surface of the neck, allowing the sleeve to slide along the neck. However, this sliding is only possible in the insertion direction because withdrawing motion of the sleeve (i.e. in the direction opposed to the insertion direction) will cause the sharp edge of each barb to cut into the interior surface of the neck and thereby prevent further withdrawal.
  • the repeated insertions and withdrawals of the applicator are prevented from dislocating the wiper.
  • the applicator engages the lip, causing a downward force to be exerted on the wiper.
  • the downward force presses the wiper flange 34 against the sleeve flange 42 , causing the latter in turn to press against the neck rim 12b , maintaining the seating of the wiper in the neck.between the three elements.
  • an upward force is exerted on the wiper when the applicator comes into contact with the wiper lip.
  • the sleeve 40 is fabricated of 0.010 inch gauge aluminum alloy (using the alloy identified by the designation 3005 of the Aluminum Association), with an anodized finish.
  • the cylindrical sleeve has an inner diameter of 0.242 inch, an outer diameter of 0.262 inch, and a diameter of 0.280 to 0.290 inch measured between the extreme outward protrusion of the opposed barbs 48 .
  • the maximum extent of unstressed radial outward protrusion of each barb edge beyond the adjacent cylindrical outer sleeve wall is about 0.09 to 0.14 inch.
  • Each tab or barb 48 has a top edge 50 that is 0.050 inch wide (measured horizontally) and side edges 0.050 inch high (measured vertically).
  • the sleeve is 0.430 inch long, and the barb top edges 50 are spaced 0.136 inch below the upper end of the sleeve.
  • the outer diameter of the top flange 42 is 0.301 inch; the flange slopes downwardly and outwardly at an angle of 12°.
  • the overall length of the elastomeric wiper element 30 is 0.617 inch.
