Description

Dosing container

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present application refers to a dosing container that allows to supply the necessary quantity of product to a sponge, scouring pad, etc. It is applicable in the field of packaging manufacturing.

STATE OF THE ART

A large number of dosing containers are known, some of which have a manual pump to extract the content, liquid. However, they all understand the need to squeeze the hand pump with one hand, while using the other to receive the dosed liquid. That is, all hands are required to be available to remove the liquid from the container.

If the user is holding some kind of object or a person (a handicapped person, baby, ...), they must release it in order to continue with the treatment. It is often not possible, because the entire environment is full of objects (a sink) or because it is dangerous to stop holding the person.

There are wall feeders that comprise an infrared cell that detects a person's hand and then automatically doses. This solution is complex, expensive, requires power, and is not portable.

The applicant is not aware of any packaging similar to the invention.

BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The invention consists of a dosing container. Its different variants solve the problems outlined.

The packaging solves these problems, since it can be used with one hand, allowing automatic dosing with a sponge, scouring pad or similar, with which the liquid will be subsequently applied.

Furthermore, in preferred embodiments it also offers a place to properly deposit or store the sponge or scouring pad, so there is no risk of dirtying it with the external environment.

Finally, the dosage allows to control the quantity of liquid supplied, so that waste is reduced. For example, if used with children's soaps, the user can learn the amount necessary for cleaning.

The dosing container starts from a container that has a base and a mouth. A manual pump having a suction tube, as is known in the art, is located in the mouth. In addition, the pump has an outlet to a plate parallel to the base above the pump, aligned with the direction of activation of the pump. The container can be any shape, including attractive designs for children, or large sizes for professional use.

In preferred embodiments, the plate has a perimeter rim or reinforcing ribs on its lower part.

If the plate is smaller than the container section, it is possible to place a connectable lid with the container that covers the plate. This cover protects the plate from knocks and allows the sponge or sponge to be in position. If desired, the container can have a lateral fixing of a hook on the lid. This prevents loss and can create a hygienic space to place the sponge or scouring pad. For example, the hitch may be configured to fix the lid upside down.

The plate can also be attached to a cover, so that the scourer or sponge are stored and protected.

The varanes are visible in the memory.

MODES OF CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Next, an embodiment of the invention is briefly described, as an illustrative and non-limiting example thereof.

Containers of this type comprise a container (1) with an upper mouth and a manual pump (3) inserted in the mouth and with the suction tube (4) to the bottom of the container (1). Manual pressure in the activation direction (2) of the pump (3) causes the content of the container (1) to rise towards the outlet of the pump (3). The base (5) of the container (1) is flat.

In the embodiment of figure 1, the outlet of the pump (3) is a plate (6) parallel to the base (5) of the container (1) which, however, may have a perimeter rim (7) or ribs ( 8) lower reinforcement. The outlet of the pump (3) is at a midpoint of the plate (6), which does not have to correspond to the exact center.

That the error in the container is not revamped, but it is usually soap or a cleaning liquid that needs to be dosed on a sponge (9), scouring pad or cloth.

The user who wishes to soak the sponge (9), will place the sponge on the plate (6) and press vertically to extract the liquid and soak it (figure 2). Therefore, you did not need to hold the container with the other hand, which is available to hold the object or person on which you want to apply the liquid.

The assembly may have a cover (10) that covers the plate (6) in its entirety until it is connected and hooked on the perimeter of the container. For this, the plate (6) must be smaller than the horizontal section of the container (1) (figure 3). The plate (6) can also be foldable, in order to reduce its useful surface. In that case, the position parallel to the base (5) must be very stable.

The lid (10) can have a fixation (11) for a hook (12) on the wall of the container (1), generally in an inverted position (figure 4). In this way a space is defined to place the sponge (9) without the need to find a suitable clean place. If the cover (10) has an upper perimeter projection (not shown), the position need not be reversed. The storage position can have a drain hole to remove the liquid released by the sponge (9).

The plate (6) can have a separate cover (13) to place and store the sponge (9).

The material of the container and the other parts of the container will generally be plastic, for example PVC, polypropylene or polyethylene. Other materials are possible as long as they resist the chemical and mechanical conditions of the product.
