Definitions

  • the invention relates generally to containers for dispensing pesticides. More particularly, the invention relates to spray bottles for application of aqueous pesticides.
  • a convenient application method is to dispense a dilute aqueous formulation of the desired pesticide using a container with as trigger-style pump spray nozzle.
  • trigger actuated pump sprayers One drawback of trigger actuated pump sprayers is that when the bottle is not gripped properly during normal operation, an operator may be exposed to the liquid emanating from the spray nozzle and/or the spray target intended by the operator is missed.
  • Capsules of concentrated active ingredients in pre-dosed quantities combined with screw closure caps for containers can be used to reduce these risks.
  • the user would need to exchange the trigger spray screw cap with the capsule cap to add the pesticide concentrate to the container, and then exchange back to the trigger spray screw cap to begin spraying. These cap exchange steps may increase the risk of unintended user exposure to the pesticide.
  • US2008083779 discloses a pesticide trigger spray container assembly having an opening to accommodate a removable product cartridge that are stored in a sidewall recess.
  • this container configuration can be cumbersome to easily grip and balance the container when filling, mixing and dispensing a pesticide. If a user fails to hold the container correctly, the user may be exposed to the liquid product inside the container, or such liquid may be mistakenly spilled.
  • a pesticide trigger spray container assembly having a configuration which reduces the risk of operator exposure to pesticides or chemicals during filling, mixing, or dispensing. It also is desirable to provide a container with a more comfortable and ergonomic grip.
  • the technical solution of the present invention provides a pesticide bottle having two openings with threaded necks and hexagonally configured sidewalls.
  • the top neck opening of the bottle is matched with a trigger actuated, pump spray device having a threaded cap for screw attachment to the bottle.
  • the side neck opening is matched with a pesticide dispenser in the form of a screw closure cap containing a capsule with a pre-dosed quantity of concentrated pesticide.
  • the sidewalls of the bottle are disposed in a hexagonal configuration wherein 4 sidewalls have a convex exterior surface, and two sidewalls have a flat exterior surface and which sidewalls are ergonomically arranged to facilitate easy gripping and handling during filling, mixing, and spraying or dispensing a pesticide or chemical product.
  • both the trigger spray cap and the cap containing a capsule with a pre-dosed quantity of concentrated pesticide are attached when the empty bottle is provided to a consumer operator.
  • a consumer operator can prepare a diluted aqueous pesticide spray solution at the time of application with reduced risk as the bottle is easily gripped and handled and can be filled with an appropriate amount of water and concentrated pesticide with simplified measuring, decanting and dispensing steps as compared to conventional trigger spray bottles.

  • the invention relates to a pesticide product bottle comprising: (1) a bottle body having a top wall, a bottom wall and six sidewalls defining therein a hollow space for containing a liquid and wherein the sidewalls present a hexagonal configuration wherein 4 sidewalls have a convex exterior surface and two sidewalls have a flat exterior surface; (2) a top opening with a threaded neck that is centrally disposed on top wall for accommodating a trigger sprayer; and (3) a side opening with a threaded neck located on the upper portion of a convex side wall for accommodating a pesticide dispenser cap; wherein the axis of the side opening is at an acute angle to the axis of the top opening.
  • a trigger actuated pump sprayer bottle 1 is described that reduces the risk of pesticide exposure to an operator of such sprayer.
  • the body of bottle or container 1 has eight walls consisting of a top wall 20 (fig. 5), a bottom wall 22 (fig. 6) and six sidewalls 24, 26, 28, 30, 32 and 34 so that the sidewalls present a hexagonal configuration.
  • the sidewalls 24 and 30 have a flat exterior surface and sidewalls 26, 28, 32 and 34 have a convex exterior surface.
  • the sidewalls are disposed in an irregular hexagonal configuration having two opposed major sides 24 and 30 that both have a flat exterior surface and four minor sides 26, 28, 32, and 34 that each have a convex exterior surface.
  • the opposed major sides 24 and 30 are parallel to each other but not coextensive.
  • the opposed minor sides 28 and 34 are parallel to each other but not coextensive.
  • the opposed minor sides 26 and 32 are parallel to each other but not coextensive.
  • the major side 24 is at an obtuse angle to minor side 26 and at an acute angle to minor side 34.
  • the major side 30 is at an obtuse angle to minor side 32 and at an acute angle to minor side 28.
  • the major sides have a flat exterior surface
  • the minor sides have a curved or convex exterior surface (with adjacent ends curving inwardly toward the top and bottom respectively).
  • the bottle 1 is dimensioned with a width of about 80 cm (from corner to corner of adjacent minor sides), a length of about 153 cm (from far corner to far corner of opposed major sides) and a height from bottom to top of about 143 cm (203 cm from bottom to height of top opening).
  • the width of the bottle 1 is such that the bottle can be comfortably and firmly gripped by an end user. Referring again to Figs.
  • the bottle 1 has a top opening 14 that is centrally disposed on top wall 20 (fig. 5) and a side opening 36 located on the upper portion of side wall 34 (fig.2).
  • the axis B of the side opening 36 is at an acute angle to the axis A of the top opening 14.

  • the pump sprayer 40 may be coupled to a threaded cap 41 for mounting the sprayer 40 to the top threaded neck 10 of bottle 1 (as shown in Figs. 7b, 8).
  • the aqueous spray solution is drawn up from the bottle 1 by pumping action via a siphon tube and is sprayed via an adjustable nozzle at a target selected by the user.
  • the bottle 1 also is typically associated with a standard dispenser cap 42 having a threaded plastic screw closure 43 with a capsule 44 containing a concentrate pesticide formulation.
  • the capsule cap 42 can be provided in a number on configurations (as shown, for example, in W012048922).
  • Fig. 7b depicts a cap 42 with the top removed to view internal components of one possible configuration.
  • Fig. 7c depicts a cap 42 associated with bottle 1 and having a closed top covering such as a flexible convex membrane.
  • a pressure plate at the top of the capsule 44 activates a piercing member which ruptures a blister pack containing a pre-measured amount of the pesticide concentrate (such as a liquid, solid, one or more tablets, flowing powder or granulated form).
  • the pesticide concentrate is then released into the bottle which preferably already contains or will be filled to contain dilution water via top opening 14.
  • the assembled configuration of bottle 1 with both trigger pump sprayer 40, cap 41 and a pesticide dispenser cap 42 is shown.
  • This configuration reduces risk to the operator during preparation of the dilute aqueous pesticide spray solution where: the trigger spray cap can be removed/replaced to fill the bottle with an appropriate amount of dilution water (optionally using 500ml/1000ml measurement lines) and the pre-measured amount of the pesticide concentrate is separately added to the bottle 1 from the dispenser cap 42.
  • the foregoing spray bottle with pesticide concentrate dispenser can facilitate a method of applying a dilute aqueous pesticide spray solution to a target pest comprising removing the trigger spray cap 40 from the bottle 1 , filling the bottle with an appropriate amount of dilution water, replacing the trigger spray cap and adding a pre-measured amount of the pesticide concentrate to the bottle using the dispenser cap 42.
