Definitions

  • This invention relates to a container for delivering doses of predetermined volume of a particulate product, e.g. a powdered or granular product such as laundry powder.
  • a particulate product e.g. a powdered or granular product such as laundry powder.
  • the invention was devised to provide a means for dispensing doses, each of a predetermined volume, of laundry powder from an enclosure such as a box containing a supply of the powder, but the invention has general application to the dispensing or delivering of constant-volume doses, samples or charges of powdered or granular products which are flowable including, e.g. granulated sugar, chocolate powder etc.
  • a container for delivering doses of a particulate product comprising an enclosure for holding the product, a first internal wall extending upwardly from a base of the enclosure so as to define, with a confronting wall of the enclosure, a chamber having a volume corresponding to a predetermined volumetric dose of the particulate product, a second internal wall extending downwardly from the top of the enclosure into the chamber and defining, with the confronting wall, a duct for dispensing each dose from the chamber, the enclosure having, in the region of the upper end of the duct, a formation for providing an outlet at the upper end of the duct, in use the container being tipped from a normal upright position to dispense, from the chamber and through the duct, a dose of predetermined volume of the particulate product, subsequent reinstatement of the container to the normal upright position causing the chamber to be refilled with particulate product ready for the dispensing of the subsequent dose.
  • the first wall terminates at an upper edge and
  • the enclosure may be a box of cuboid shape, for example made of cardboard or plastics, with the first wall and the second wall being parallel to one another and to the confronting wall defining one side of the box, the second wall being closer to the confronting wall than the first wall.
  • the enclosure may be made from a blank which is cut to the required shape, creased, folded and glued, in a manner suitable for mass production.
  • the volume of the chamber and hence the size of the dose may be regulated so that a container may be produced to deliver a dose of any desired size.
  • a typical dose size is usually in the range 7Og to 12Og.
  • the formation comprises a tab which is rupturable to provide the duct outlet.
  • the tab may be disposed at or adjacent to the top of the confronting side wall of the box, and the perimeter of the tab may be defined partially by a line of weakening and partially by a hinge line, the line of weakening being ruptured and the tab being pushed into the upper end of the duct, with attendant folding about the hinge line, to form the outlet.
  • the tab may be dimensioned so that when it is pushed inwardly into the duct to open the outlet the tab engages the second wall, this engagement holding the tab in a position which maintains the outlet open.
  • the formation defining the outlet may be provided with a closure which is capable of closing the outlet between the delivery of successive doses.
  • the invention provides package with an automatic dosing system, characterised in that it consists of a container of basically rectangular shape wherein there is configured, in the thickness sense and adjacent to one of its sides, a flattened duct extending from the surface of the package to a reservoir or chamber defined at the bottom of the package, broader than the said duct and having an upper opening, the mouth whereof having a slightly inclined rim; and in that an outlet for the dosed product, located in the side of the package extending throughout its thickness, in communication with the flattened duct in its upper part, is initially sealed by a cap or tab delimited by an upper crease and lateral and lower perforations, such that it may be detached along the perforations and folded by means of the crease inside the flattened duct; and in that the height of the cap exceeds the thickness of the flattened duct, such that, when the said cap is folded inside the flattened duct, it is pressed against the wall of the latter, being automatically held in this position.

  • the container comprises a cardboard box 1 of cuboid shape having a height of 255 mm, a width of 170 mm and a depth of 60 mm.
  • a first vertical internal wall 10, 70 mm high extends upwardly from a base of the box into the internal volume thereof. This wall 10 is parallel to a vertical confronting side wall 12 of the box, being spaced 50 mm therefrom, spans the vertical front and back walls of the box and terminates in an upper edge spaced above the base of the box by a distance of about one third of the overall height of the box.
  • This second internal wall 13 is parallel both to the adjacent confronting vertical side wall 12 of the box and to the first vertical wall 10.
  • the second internal wall 13 is closer to the confronting side wall 12 than is the first internal wall 10 and the second vertical wall 13 terminates in a horizontal lower edge which is slightly lower (5 mm) than the upper edge of the first wall 10.
  • the space between the first internal wall 10 and the confronting surface of the side wall 12 defines a chamber 3.
  • the entrance 4 to the chamber 3 is inclined as a result of the lower edge of the wall 13 projecting into the chamber 3 and being at a lower level than the upper edge of the first wall 10.
  • the vertically elongated space between the second wall 13 and the confronting side wall 12 defines a duct 2 the lower end of which communicates with the chamber 3.
  • the side wall 12 has a rectangular tab 6 the rectangular perimeter of which is defined by a horizontal crease or fold 7 along the upper horizontal side of the rectangle and three perforated lines 8 of weakness along the three remaining sides of the rectangle.
  • the box 1 is formed from a cardboard blank by folding, creasing and the adhesion of tabs in a known manner.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un récipient en forme de boîte (1) qui comprend une quantité de produit en particules, tel que de la poudre à lessive (9). La boîte (1) est munie de parois internes (10, 13) de façon qu'une chambre (3) d'un volume prédéterminé soit définie entre la première paroi (10) et la paroi latérale opposée (12) de la boîte et un conduit (2) est défini entre la seconde paroi (13) et la paroi latérale (12) de la boîte. La partie supérieure de la paroi latérale (12) de la boîte est pourvue d'une languette (6) qui peut être poussée vers l'intérieur afin de former une sortie (5) pour l'extrémité supérieure du conduit (2). Lorsque la boîte (1) est inclinée, le volume prédéterminé de poudre contenu dans la chambre (3) s'écoule le long du conduit (2) et est distribué à travers la sortie. Lorsque la boîte reprend sa position verticale normale la chambre (3) est automatiquement remplie de poudre et la boîte est prête à distribuer la prochaine dose de volume prédéterminé.
