Definitions
- the present invention relates 'to a dispenser device for discharging a quantity of a substance into a conduit wherein flows a fluid.
- the term substance as herein used encompasses liquids, creams, powders, emulsions and solutions.
- An object of this invention is to provide such a dispenser by means of which a chosen or random quantity of a substance can be discharged when desired into a conduit wherein flows a fluid, without interrupting said flow.
- Another object is to provide such a dispenser which is of economic yet rugged construction.
- a dispenser comprising a container having a bottom and a discharge outlet in, respectively at the level of, said bottom; a connection between said outlet and said fluid conduit; a displaceable closure means for said discharge outlet; connected to said closure means, an operating means extending at least partially outside of said container; and a'neck within said fluid conduit, upstreams of said connection with respect to the direction of flow of the fluid within said conduit.
- One particular field of application of such a dispenser is in conjunction with sanitary appliances, in homes, hospitals and so forth, i.e., to addpharmaceutical or cosmetical products to tub, seat bath, bidet or pool water feeds.
- FIG. 1 is a side elevation of a dispenser according to this invention, one half of which being shown in radial section;
- FIG. 2 is a radial section through another dispenser according to the invention.
- FIG. 3 is a partial top view according to arrow F, of FIG. 2;
- FIGS. 4 and 5 are cross-sections, respectively according to lines IV-lV and V-V of FIG. 2.
- the dispenser 1 allows to discharge a measured quantity of fluid contained therein to a conduit 2 wherein flows another fluid, in the direction as shown by arrows.
- the dispenser comprises a container 3, for instance cylindrical in shape, having a bottom 4 and a removable cover 5.
- a discharge outlet 6 is provided in bottom 4 and communicates with the inside of conduit 2 through a tapered connection 7 ending into a passage 8.
- a guide-sleeve 9 projects from the bottom 4 within said container 3, around the entrance to said discharge outlet 6.
- a series of parts 10 is provided in sleeve 9, close to bottom 4.
- An axially displaceable closure member 11 is slidably fitted into sleeve 9, said member having a cylindrical body 12 extended by a tapered part 13 terminated by a pin 14.
- the closure member 11 is fitted at one end of an operating rod 15, the other end 16 of which projecting outside'of the container, through said cover 5.
- a spring 17, acting on a projection 18 of the rod normally maintains the closure member 11 in its closure position, wherein said tapered connection 7 forms a seat for said tapered part 13 and said pin 14 extends through passage 8.
- a neck or venturi 118 is provided in conduit 2, close to passage 8 and upstreams thereof with respect of the direction of flow of the fluid therein.
- the sleeve 9 extends up to near the cover 5, whilst rod 15 is hollow and slidably fits into sleeve 9.
- a helical slit 22 (shown in dotted lines) is provided in the wall of said sleeve 9, extending from near the bottom 4 to near the top of the sleeve and around not more than 120 of its periphery.
- a slit 23 is similarly provided in the wall of hollow rod 15, said slit 23 having however an opposite slope to that of slit 22. Where these two slits cross each other, they define a passage 24 through which fluid can flow from container 3 into hollow rod 115 and hence, through passages 25 provided to that effect in closure member 111, into outlet 6 if rod 15 is raised as explained hereinafter.
- pin 14 The function of pin 14 is to prevent any risk of passage 8 becoming clogged, when for instance viscous or sticky fluids are to be dispensed but it is evident that such a pin could be omitted. It is also clear that closure member llll may be given any suitable shape such as hemispherical or conical.
- an operating means such as i.e., an electro-magnet
- time measuring means to control the duration of the discharge of fluid, emulsion, powder or solution, respectively the discharged quantity thereof.
- a dispenser for discharging a quantity of fluid into a fluid conduit having a neck comprising a container having a bottom and a discharge outlet in said bottom, a connection between said outlet and said fluid conduit, displaceable closure means for said discharge outlet, a sleeve surrounding the inner end of said outlet and projecting from said bottom, said sleeve forming a guide for said closure means, a cover for said container, said closure means having a closure member axially displaceable within said sleeve, a rod integral with said closure member, said rod extending through said container and projecting outside of said cover, and a spring urging said rod towards said bottom, said sleeve extending to the vicinity of said cover, a wall of said sleeve having a helical slit, said rod being hollow and having a helical slit through its wall the slope of which is opposite to that of the slit in said sleeve.
- a dispenser according to claim 1 wherein the upper end of said hollow rod projecting outside of said cover is provided with an operating means having one profiled surface in contact with a cam means on said cover, whereby rotating said operating means causes an axial displacement of said rod.
- a dispenser according to claim 3 wherein the outer face of said cover is provided with a scale indicating the volume of fluid discharged from the dispenser for given angular positions of said operating means the latter being provided with a reference means.
