Definitions
- This invention relates to multiple cavity pump dispensing packages.
- U.S. Patent No. 5,289,949 there is disclosed a package comprising an upper housing on which a nozzle is snapped into position and a closure snapped onto the nozzle.
- the upper housing is slidably received in a lower housing which supports dual pistons such that when the upper housing is depressed dual streams of two materials are dispensed.
- a package is shown in the prior art.
- Such a package comprises a dispensing pump including an upper shroud with two integral cylinders, which slidably accommodate pistons fixed on a lower shroud.
- the cylinders contain the product which is to be dispensed.
- the upper shroud includes dual outlets extending laterally of the upper shroud with two passages connected to the two cylinders.
- a dual outlet assembly snaps into the upper shroud and has dual passages communicating with the dual outlets and extending laterally of the upper shroud.
- a nozzle snaps on the dual outlet assembly and engages the dual outlets.
- a cap is hinged to the nozzle. The cap is provided with a septum for maintaining the two products to be dispensed separate and are not intermixed when the cap is closed.
- inventions are to provide a multiple cavity dispensing package which is less complex, which uses a minimum number of parts, which is less costly to manufacture by using fewer molds, and which is easier to assemble.
- the multiple cavity dispensing package comprises a first hollow plastic body and a second hollow plastic body that interengage to define dual pump.
- the second plastic body is molded in one piece and includes an integral lateral nozzle with a cap integrally hinged thereto.
- the first plastic body includes integral pistons.
- the second plastic body includes integral cylinders, integral tubes extending through the integral nozzle.
- the cap includes dual sealing plugs which seals against the internal peripheral surfaces of the dual outlets of the nozzle.
- Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a multiple cavity dispensing package embodying the invention.
- Fig. 2 is an exploded perspective view, showing the cap in open position.
- Fig. 3 is a top plan view.
- Fig. 4 is a part sectional view taken along the line 4-4 in fig. 3.
- Fig. 5 is a sectional view taken along the line 5-5 in Fig. 4.
- Fig. 6 is a sectional view taken along the line 6-6 in Fig. 3.
- Fig. 7 is a fragmentary sectional view at the circle 7 in Fig. 4.
- Fig. 8 is a top plan view of the lower plastic body in Figs. 1 and 2.
- Fig. 9 is a fragmentary front elevational view on an enlarged scale with the cap in open position.
- Fig. 10 is a sectional view taken along the line 10-10 in Fig. 9.
- Fig. 11 is a part sectional elevational view similar to Fig. 4 showing a modified form of a multiple cavity dispensing packages.
- Fig. 12 is an elevational view of a portion of the package shown in Fig. 11.
- Fig. 13 is a sectional view taken along the line 13-13 in Fig. 12.
- Fig. 14 is a sectional elevational of the second lower part of the package shown in Figs. 12 and 13.
- the multiple cavity dispensing package 10 comprises a first upper hollow plastic body 12 and a second lower hollow plastic body 14 that interengage to define a dual pump.
- the first plastic body 12 is molded in one piece and includes an integral lateral nozzle 16 having dual outlets with a cap 18 integrally hinged by hinge 20 to body 12.
- the second plastic body 14 includes pistons 22.
- the first plastic body 12 includes integral cylinders 24 that define product chambers and integral outlets 26 extending through the integral nozzle 16.
- 5,020,694, 5,289,949 and 5,332,124 incorporated by reference, when product is placed in the cylinders and the first part 12 is depressed, the product is dispensed.
- the cap includes integral plug seals which engage the complementary inner surfaces of the outlets 26 in integral nozzle 16.
- the product to be dispensed is introduced into the cylinders 24, 24a and the body 12 and 14 are assembled.
- the cap 18, 18a is opened and the body 12, 12a is depressed to dispense the two products through the passages 26, 26a in nozzle 16, 16a.
