Definitions

  • ABSTRACT bular side wall of the deformable member has a plurality of fold lines forming an array of alternately disposed trapeziums which define cavities in staggered formation whereby deformable member is expansible or contractable in a concertina fashion.
  • the present invention relates to dispensing containers, and in particular, dispensing containers in which the product initially received in the containers is discharged from the containers by the action of a propellant gas.
  • Dispensing containers are already known in which a propellant gas exerts pressure on a piston, slidable in the container, for discharging the product in the container.
  • the main drawback of these known containers is that the propellant gas often escapes between the piston and the cylinder, and as well as just escaping, can contaminate the product.
  • the partition is generally a member hermetically sealed to thewall of the container or the base of the container, the member being capable of distortion, being made of plastic or metallic material.
  • the member When the member is made of natural rubber or synthetic material, the fluid tightness of the member is not satisfactory.
  • the member When the member is metallic, it is necessary that its distortion can be ensured by a form of pleating allowing the sides to expand or contact in concertina fashion.
  • the pleating is made in the usual way, as by moulding, work hardening of the metal during moulding and forming cannot be avoided and can cause the metal to crack.
  • the smaller moulded diameters must still decrease, leading therefore to a restraint of metal on that circumference, while the longer diameters must increase. The metal is thus more solicited in that case than in a real folding.
  • An object of the present invention is the provision of a dispensing container of the type in which the product received in the container is discharged from the container-by the action of a propellant gas, which container has a member separating the product from the propellant gas, which member can be simply made, and operates by expansion or contraction in concertina fashion.
  • a container comprises a hollow outer body, a deformable member in the hollow outer body, the deformable member separating a product from a propellant gas which, when an outlet in the hollow body is opened, causes the deformable member to deform and force the product to discharge through the outlet, the deformable
  • the deformable member is attached to the hollow body adjacent the outlet, and is contracted in concertina fashion by expansion of the propellant gas between the base and the member, the expansion of the propellant gas causing the contraction of the member towards the outlet.
  • FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a container in which a metallic hollow member containing a propellant gas is received, the hollow member being in a contracted position, that is, the container is loaded with a product;
  • FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view similar to FIG. ll, except that hollow member is shown expanded, that is, when all the product is discharged from the container;
  • FIG. 3 is a crossl-sectional view of a container, in which a metallic hollow member is in a contracted position when all the product is discharged from the con-- tainer.
  • a dispensing container comprises a hollow cylindrical body 1 having a collar and a base 3, A deformable metallic hollow member 2 is arranged for sliding movement inside the cylindrical body 1. The member 2 is anchored to the base 3 of the cylindrical body I by an inturned part 2a of the base 3.
  • a propellant gas 5 is introduced into the space between the base 3 and the member 2 by a hole provided in the base 3 and closed by a seal 6. Some of the gas enters the member 2.
  • a product 4 to be distributed is introduced into the space between the inner surface of the body 1 and the face 20 of the member 2.
  • the product 4 is discharged through an outlet controlled by a valve 7.
  • the member 2, containing the propellant gas 5, expands little by little during the distribution of the product 4, that is, when the outlet is open.
  • the metallic hollow member 2 is arranged for sliding movement inside a hollow cylindrical body 1 and anchored to the cylindrical body 1 by a seam 9 engaging around an edge 2b of the member 2.
  • the propellant gas 5 is introduced in the space between the base 3 and the face 2c of the member 2 through an orifice provided in the bottom 3 and closed by a seal 6.
  • the product 4 to be distributed is introduced into the interior of the member 2 and is discharged through an outlet controlled by a valve 7.
  • the member 2, containing the product 4 to be distributed contracts little by little during the distribution of the product 4 that is, when the outlet is open.
  • the geometrical arrangement of the pleats on fold lines 8 on the tubular side wall of the member 2 predetermines the type of concertina-like deformation which the member 2 is caused to take.
  • the member 2 of both embodiments has a flexible thin metallic wall formed with fold lines 8 and 10.
  • the fold lines making a relief in an external direction are laid according to identical and adjacent hexagons, or losanges, and the fold lines which correspond to a cavity in the inner surextend along circumferential directions, perpendicularly to the axis of the member 2 but do not constitute continuous lines on a complete circumference and are spaced with alternately disposed fold lines 8, constituting endless peripheral lines each form a polygon.
  • a dispensing container for dispensing a product comprising: a hollow body having an outlet; means for controlling the opening and closing of the outlet; and a deformable member in the hollow body separating a product to be dispensed from the container and contained in a space between the inner surface of the hollow body and one side of the deformable member from a pressurized propellant gas contained in a space between the inner surface of the hollow body and an opposite side of the deformable member, the deformable member having a tubular sidewall in which are arranged a plurality of endless peripheral lines each composed of a plurality of alternately disposed alike rectilinear first fold lines and alike rectilinear second fold lines, said first fold lines being longer than said second fold lines and the first and second fold lines of each peripheral line being symmetrically staggered in relation to those of the adjacent peripheral lines, each point between adjacent first and second fold lines of one peripheral line being joined to a complementary point between adjacent first and second fold lines of each adjacent peripheral line by a rectilinear third

  • a dispensing container for dispensing a product comprising: a hollow cylindrical body having an outlet at one end and a base at the opposite end closing the body at said opposite end; means for controlling the opening and closing of the outlet; a hollow expansible member in the hollow body separating a product to be dispensed from the container and contained in a space between said one end of the hollow body and the expansible member from a pressurized propellant gas contained in a space between the base of the hollow body and the expansible member, the expansible member having a tubular side wall in which are arranged a plurality of endless peripheral lines each composed of a plurality of alternately disposed alike rectilinear first fold lines and alike rectilinear second fold lines, said first fold lines being longer than said second fold lines and the first and second fold lines of each peripheral line being symmetrically staggered in relation to those of the adjacent peripheral lines, each point between adjacent first and second fold lines of one peripheral line being joined to a complementary point between adjacent first and second fold lines of each adjacent peripheral line by a
