Definitions
- the present invention relates to a high dosage dispensing device or "dispenser”, sealed both in the closed and in the open position.
- the device is applied to bottles containing products for hair and body care, soaps and pastes and food products. Because of the high dosage of the quantities dispensed (3 ⁇ 5 cc), the dispensing device according to the present invention is destined to have professional applications, and therefore presents particular characteristics of ruggedness and reliability.
- Dispensing devices of this kind suffer from the drawback whereby, if the dispensing device is forgotten open by the end user, the content of the bottle remains in contact with the atmosphere with the consequence that it oxidises. Moreover, if placed under a jet of water, as may occur for instance in a shower, the water itself may penetrate inside the bottle, compromising the integrity of the product contained therein, as shown in the patent EP-A-0757004.
- the object of the present invention therefore is to eliminate the aforementioned drawbacks.
- one of the main aims of the present invention is to allow the container whereon the dispensing device is applied to be sealed, both in the closed position and in the open position of the dispensing device.
- Another aim of the present invention is to reduce the number of its component parts, in particular of the sealing gaskets.
- a further aim of the present invention is to simplify assembly and avoid needless time wastage.
- Yet another aim of the present invention is to allow a dispensing device to be provided in pre-assembled form, to avoid needless mounting problems to the intermediate user.
- the invention solves the problem of providing a high dosage dispensing device or "dispenser”, sealed both in the closed and in the open position, having the features reported in the claims.
- the number 1 indicates a dispensing device body, the number 2 a related suction tube, 3 a ring nut to be applied to a bottle which is not shown, 4 a ball valve, 5 a spring loaded coaxially movable stem, provided with a plunger 6, and 7 a dispensing spout inserted at the top of the stem 5.
- the body 1 is connected at the bottom with the suction tube 2 through its tubular portion 10 and it further presents from the bottom upwards the ball valve 4.
- the body 1 is shaped in a first very tapered cone trunk portion 11 wherefrom it extends upward in a second, less tapered cone trunk portion 12.
- the seat of the ball valve 4 is obtained within the body 1 in the junction of the cone trunk portions 11 and 12.
- the cone trunk portion 12 are provided multiple longitudinal appendices 13, at least three, projecting inwards and elastically deformable, particularly in the related edges 131, to receive and retain a ball 40.
- the longitudinal appendices 13 present, at their rear, housings 130 shaped as circular sectors and able to receive a torsion helical spring 51 working in compression positioned between the body 1 and the stem 5 of the dispensing device, as shall be more readily apparent below.
- the body 1 presents a cylindrical section 14 for the sliding of the plunger 6 and at the top a terminal portion 15 with L shaped cross section comprising an upward-facing edge 150 projecting slightly outwards and a diameter disc 151.
- compensation windows such as those indicated with the number 16 and better shown in Figure 3.
- the bottle ring nut 3, of the screw type presents at its top a circular opening delimited by an upward-oriented lip 30.
- the edge 150 of the body 1 faces the lip 30 of the ring nut, whilst its diameter disc 151 rests against the top of the ring nut 3, from its inner side.
- annular cavity 31 (better shown in Figure 3) is formed, whose function is described hereafter.
- the stem 5 which is part of the movable equipment of the dispensing device according to the present invention, presents in its lower end a ferrule 50.
- a sealing element 8 To the ferrule 50 is applied a sealing element 8.
- the sealing element 8 has an ogive shape ending at the top with a curved collar 80.
- the collar 80 forms in the sealing element 8 an annular cavity oriented towards the ball valve 4. In the closed position shown in Figure 1 the collar 80 is set against the inner inclined wall of the second cone trunk portion 12 of the body 1, thereby creating an optimal seal for the fluid product located downstream of the ball valve 4.
- the collar 80 serves as a backstop on the stem 5 for the helical spring 51 and also, as shown in Figure 2, as a lower limit stop for the plunger 6.
- the plunger 6 is mounted slidingly on the stem 5 in a travel limited at the bottom by the collar 80 and at the top by a circumferential projection 52 of the stem 5.
- the plunger 6, whose transverse semi-section presents a butterfly shape, is also able to slide together with the stem 5 throughout the pumping stroke thereof, along the cylindrical section 14 of the body 1, limited at the top by a check sleeve 9.
- the check sleeve 9 is inserted slidingly onto the stem 5, before the insertion of the dispensing spout 7 on its top portion.
- the check sleeve 9 is provided with a top annular cuff 90 retained in the aforesaid annular cavity 31 formed between the lip 30 of the ring nut 3 and the edge 150 of the body 1, and with a lower "skirt".
- This disposition thanks to the interference between the cuff 90 and the edge 150 of the body, effects the seal between the body 1 and the ring nut 3.
- the check sleeve 9 also presents a threaded central portion 9 destined to be coupled by screwing onto a counter-threaded portion 70 of the dispensing spout 7.
- the aforesaid portions 91 and 70 because of the related forced coupling, form two front conical areas which effect the seal between the check sleeve 9 and the dispensing spout 7.
- the sealing disposition described hereafter is destined to seal bottle necks realised according to the FEA 33 and GCMI 33 standards, taking into account the dimensional tolerances thereof.
- the diameter disc 151 of the terminal portion 15 of the body 1 presents in its inner side, oriented towards the bottle mouth, not shown, inner and outer elastic projections 152 and 153, for bottle mouths of corresponding diameter.
- the adaptation of said elastic projections or lips 152 and 153, which are flexible, on the surface of the bottle mouth, effects an additional sealing function between pump and bottle.
- the conical threaded coupling between the aforesaid portions 70 and 91 provides a sufficient load to guarantee the seal between the dispensing spout 7 and the sleeve 9 due to the contact between the front conical surfaces, so that the fluid that enters into the body 1 from the compensation windows 16 cannot flow through outside the sleeve itself.
- the appendices 13 of the body 1 serve to limit the motion of the ball 40, and are to be bent during assembly.
- the appendices 13 are bent by the helical spring 51 when it is set in position, without requiring any specific tool.
- the spring 51 bears down on the top area of the appendices 13; then, when it is fitted, it slides on one of the edges 131 ( Figure 5) of appendix 13, bending the appendices 13 inwards.
- the edge 131 is destined to effect an interference that increases as the spring descends, thereby providing for low loads and simplified assembly operations.
- the sealing element 8 positioned on the ferrule 50 of the stem 5 is destined to centre the spring 51 during the fitting operations. Moreover, the spring is chosen with a wide diameter in order to contain any misalignments of the stem.
- the assembly formed by the body 1, by the ball valve 4, by the spring 51, by the stem 2, by the plunger 6 and by the check sleeve 9, being internal to the dispensing device, can be assembled beforehand, stored and shipped thereby allowing subsequent customisations linked with the marketing of the fluid product to be treated.
