Definitions

This invention relates to a fluid dispenser of the kind which has an outside casing, an inner flexible fluid container and means for applying pressure on the fluid w container to expel the fluid through a valve mechanism.
the flexible container is disposed within a rigid casing.
Means are provided within the casing to apply continuous pressure on the container walls and the fluid therein.
a valve is provided on the mouth of the container which is activated whenever a fluid is to be dispensed.
the expelling force is provided by an elastomeric sleeve which surrounds the fluid container.
the container In order to insure that substantially all the contents of a container are removable, the container must have a shape which makes it possible to collapse the container completely, i.e. with substantially no internal space left.
bags were provided which were radially foldable so that in their collapsed state they formed a disc. However the disc still had a relatively large diameter and inherently some residue always remained inside it.
An alternate method consisted of using an elongated bag with an open end attached to a dispensing valve, a closed end, and a cylindrical wall therebetween in which pleats are provided so as to divide the walls into sections which can fold in on each other two-by-two.
An objective of the present invention is to provide a dispenser with means for collapsing the flexible bag contained therein in a controlled manner until substantially all the fluid disposed within the bag has been expelled.
Another objective is to provide a dispenser which is relatively inexpensive.
a further objective is to provide a method of making said dispenser.
a fluid dispenser comprises a tubular bag made of a flexible, substantially inexpandable material for containing the fluid to be dispensed, said bag having a mouth adapted to be secured to a valve mechanism, and having a plurality of axial, longitudinal pleats; and a resilient tubular member substantially surrounding said bag and capable of being expanded radially outward as said bag is filled with a pressurized fluid so as to provide sufficient external pressure on said bag to eject said pressurized fluid when said valve mechanism is selectively actuated.
the pleated bag is provided with a coating by suitable means such as by dipping into a suitable latex so that a thin, even coating is formed thereon except for the pleat valleys where adjacent walls are bridged by a bead.
a dispenser with a pressurized or barrier bag comprises a bag assembly 10 (see Figure 1) which is typically inserted in an enclosure 11.
the assembly ccmprises a tubular bag 12 with a closed bottom end 14 and a mouth 16.
a metal cap 18 is fitted over the mouth 16.
the cap has a central orifice 20 communicating with the interior of the cap.
a valve assembly 22 adapted to release pressurized fluid contained within the bag when activated through orifice 20.
Such a valve is described in the above-mentioned patent No. 4,387,833.
the bag is surrounded by a relatively thin and resilient coating,24 which conforms to the shape of the bag.
the coating is described more fully below.
the coated bag is disposed within an elastomeric member 26 which is commonly described as an energy tube.
the member 26 is essentially coextensive with bag 12.
the bag is first formed into the shape of a bottle as shown in Figure 2.
the bag is made of a flexible but substantially nonresilient material which is relatively inert so that it will not impart any taste or smell to its contents.
the bag may be made out of a plastic material such as nylon, polypropylene, polyester or SARANEX. The material may be formed into the shape shown in Figure 2 by blow molding or similar well-known methods in the art.
the bottle shaped bag is pleated into the shape shown in Figures 4 and 5.
the bag has a plurality of longitudinal or axial pleats defined by crests 28 separated by troughs or valleys 30. Since the bag is flexible it may be compressed radially until the inner walls 32 of each pleat 28 essentially contact or fold over each other. When the bag is compressed or folded in this manner the onlv empty space left in the bag is a relatively narrow tube 34 defined by troughs 30.
the pleated bag can be programmed or constrained to re-fold in a very precise and controlled manner after being filled with a product by enveloping it with a coating applied over the pleats.
a rubber latex coating is applied to the exterior surface of the bag.
the latex is chosen so that when it is applied to the bag, it forms a smooth, even, elastic coating on the bag with a bead or rib being generated to fill the bottom of the pleat valleys 30, as shown at 36 on Figure 6.
the size of the bead depends on the density and viscosity of the latex.
Latex formulations similar to those used for making different rubber products, such as balloons, surgical gloves, etc. are suitable. Some change in solids content and/or viscosity may be required but these techniques are well known to those in this industry.
the latex is a water based emulsion containing the rubber, filler etc. at room temperature.
the bag shaped as shown in Figure 4 is dipped into the bath and removed. After the excess latex drains off, the coated bags are dipped into a coagulant, drained, then dipped into water for rinsing and then are heated in an oven, at the maximum temperature which will not affect the container, to drive off the water and to form a solid continuous elastic surface coating on the bag.
the coating so formed has sufficient adhesion to the bag to withstand further handling.
the bag is now ready for the final assembly.
the valve assembly 22 and cap 20 are fitted over mouth 16 of the bag.
the elastomeric member 26 is then expanded and pulled over the bag into the position shown in Figure 1.
the inner diameter of member 26 is smaller than the outer diameter of the coated bag shown in Figure 4 so that the pleats of the bag are forced close together. During this later operation a vacuum may be applied to the bottle to draw in the pleats thereby making the assembly easier.
a fluid is fed under pressure into the bag forcing it to expand substantially into the shape of Figure 2.
Member 26 also expands.
the elastomeric member 26 applies sufficient force in the bag to keep it pressurized after it (the bag) has been disconnected from the pressurized fluid source.
the fluid may be dispensed by activating the valve assembly 22.
the ribs or beads of the coating disposed in the pleat valleys force the bag to regain its pleated shape in a smooth, orderly fashion so that extraneous creases are not formed, until the bag is reduced to its minimum or collapsed stage at which point essentially all the fluid contained therein has been removed.
Figure 8 shows a cross-sectional view of a bag with a 1.9gm nominal dry weight latex coating taken along lines 8-8 of Figure 7.
Figures 9 and 10 show the same view of a bag with a 5gm nominal dry weight latex coating and no coating respectively. These nominal weights refer to the dry weight of the latex for a nominal 7 fl. oz. container. Smaller and larger containers would have corresponding different weights.
FIG. 8 A comparison of Figures 8 and 10 shows that the bag without a coating was refolded in a haphazard manner so that in its final stage it still contains many voids and the pleats are not discernible.
the bag assembly of Figure 8 has been deformed into an ellipse but there are less voids than in Figure 10 and the pleats are readily identifiable.
Figure 9 shows that the bag having a 5g latex reforms into a configuration with the least number of voids and its pleats are folded evenly.
figures 8-10 show the effectiveness of the invention to control the refolding of the bag.
the coating has a relatively non-slip surface so that when the coated bag is disposed within the energy tube sufficient frictional forces develop between the bag and the tube to prevent the tube from slipping axially during its expansion and contraction.
slipping was found to be undesirable because if the tube slips axially some portions of it become more expanded than other portions and therefore during contractions the bags were subjected to uneven pressure.
slippage could also be prevented by roughing the outer surface of the bag, it has been found that such an operation also introduces undue stress in the structure of the bag thereby weakening it.
