摘要:
An elevator/threaded shaft dispensing package (1) for a solid stick-form product (51) and a refill cartridge (50) therefor. The package has a refill cartridge designed to telescope into a reusable base (10). The base is tubular and has a threaded shaft (15) axially oriented therein through a central aperture (14) at its bottom (13) where it is connected to a hand wheel (16). The cartridge holds the product in its tubular body (52) which preferably has a non-circular cross section. A push plate (60) is disposed in the bottom of the cartridge and the top of the cartridge preferably has a downwardly extending annular collar (70) on its exterior. The package has a telescoping elevator system (30) disposed therein comprising a platform (32) which abuts against the push plate and an internally threaded neck (31) below said platform. The internally threaded neck receives the threaded shaft in threaded telescoping relation. When the hand wheel is turned in a predetermined direction the elevator system advances towards the top, pushing the product in the cartridge up and out of the package so the consumer can have access. The package is provided with a means to reset the elevator to its lowermost position when it is in its uppermost position without manually rotating the hand wheel. The cartridge can be provided with a means to seal its top and bottom so it can be sold as a separate unit.
摘要:
Emballage (1) à système de levage par rotation, destiné à un déodorant et comprend un élément d'étanchéité particulier (31, 32, 61) qui empêche toute fuite du produit, que ce soit dans son état fondu ou volatil, au cours de la fabrication, de l'expédition ou du stockage, en maintenant la totalité du produit dans le dispositif de levage (30) ou au-dessus de celui-ci. L'emballage préféré (1) présente un corps (5) de section ovale ou circulaire, pourvu d'un sommet ouvert et d'une base fermée (12). La base (12) comporte une ouverture centrale conçue pour recevoir une broche (19) pourvue d'un axe fileté (20) disposé à l'intérieur du corps (5), et d'un disque ou d'une roue à molette (22) disposé à l'extérieur du corps (5). Egalement disposé à l'intérieur du corps (5) de l'emballage, se trouve le dispositif de levage (30) pourvu d'un moyeu central fileté (35) qui est en contact avec l'axe fileté (20). Le pourtour du dispositif de levage (30) est hermétiquement fermé le long de la surface interne (6) du corps (5) de l'emballage (1). Un élément d'étanchéité additionnel (61) est prévu au niveau de l'interface entre le moyeu et l'axe fileté lorsque le dispositif de levage (30) est en position complètement abaissée. Le dispositif de levage (30) comprend un réservoir (55) destiné à recevoir un produit fondu au cours du procédé de remplissage. Les éléments d'étanchéité (31, 32, 61) sont placés de telle façon que l'écoulement d'air et de produit fondu vers les réservoirs (55) n'est possible qu'à travers le sommet de l'emballage. La capacité volumétrique est au moins égale au volume de l'espace entre la ligne de remplissage de l'emballage (1), lorsque celui-ci est rempli à la verticale du produit sous forme fondue ou liquide, et la surface interne d'un élément de profilage (73) utilisé pour façonner le sommet du produit. On décrit également un procédé de remplissage/retournement utilisé pour fabriquer un produit cosmétique du type en forme de bâtonnet au moyen de l'emballage (1) décrit ci-dessus.
摘要:
A swivel up package (1) for a deodorant or antiperspirant having specialized sealing (31, 32, 61) which prevents leakage of product, in either its molten or volatile state, during manufacture, shipment and storage by containing all of the product within or above the elevator (30). The preferred package (1) has a body (5) of an oval or circular cross-section with an open top and a closed bottom (12). The bottom (12) has a centralized aperture adapted to receive a spindle (19) having a screw shaft (20) disposed within the body (5) and a dial or handwheel (22) disposed outside the body (5). Also disposed within the body (5) of the package (1) is the elevator (30) having a threaded central hub (35) that is in engagement with the screw shaft (20). The periphery of the elevator (30) is sealed along the internal surface (6) of the body (5) of the package (1). Further sealing (61) is provided between the hub/threaded shaft (20) interface when the elevator (30) is in its lowermost position. The elevator (30) has a reservoir (55) to receive molten product during the fill process. The seals (31, 32, 61) are such that flow of air and molten product to the reservoirs (55) is possible only through the top of the package. The volumetric capacity is at least as great as the volume intermediate the fill line of the package (1), filled in its upright condition with the product in a molten or liquid form, and the inner surface (85) of a forming means (73) used to shape the top of the product. There is also provided a fill/invert process for manufacturing a cosmetic stick-type product using the package (1) described above.
摘要:
The present invention relates to improved product dispensers for various spreadable products, including fluids, suspensions, lotions, creams, emulsions, and gels. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the dispenser is in the form of an improved roll-on type applicator (10) with an enlarged application/distribution surface in the form of a dome (50) with an aperture (51) for exposing a portion of the rotating element (40). As product is expressed from the gap between the element and dome, it follows the surface of the element into contact with the desired surface and is thereby applied to this surface. Excess product not applied to the desired surface by the element either follows the element surface through the gap between the element and the dome back into the container or is sheared from the element surface by the edge of the aperture in the dome. This sheared-off product flows onto the dome surface or contacts other parts of the desired receiving surface and is distributed by the application/distribution surface of the dome, which functions both as a secondary applicator for this undistributed product and as a primary distributor for evening out the total product distribution on the desired surface, thus providing an improved means for uniformly applying and distributing product dispensed by the rotating element. The resulting roll-on applicator enables the product to be more easily applied in a consistent, less messy fashion, and the simplicity of the package construction equates to a very user-friendly package which is cost effective to produce and reliable in operation.

The present invention relates to improved product dispensers for various products, including solids, gels, semi-solids, and other substantially solid products. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the dispenser (10) is in the form of an improved twist-up type dispenser with an application/distribution surface in the form of a mesh applicator head (50) for covering the exposed end of a solid stick of product. The dispenser includes a force-limiting mechanism (36, 72) to limit the force exerted by the product on the mesh applicator head (50) during pre-loading to prevent extrusion of the product. The dispenser further includes a force-maintaining (70) mechanism to maintain the surface of the product in continuous intimate contact with the mesh applicator head during the application process. The surface of the product exposed via the apertures (51) is sheared off in conventional fashion, and the mesh provides for a more even distribution of the product than conventional solid stick-type dispensers. The resulting dispenser provides application and distribution properties superior to current solid-stick dispensers and enables the products to be more easily applied in a consistent, less messy fashion.
