Definitions

  • This invention relates to the field of apparatus for dispensing fluids and tissues. In some aspects it also relates to the field of dispensing, holding and recharging kitchen towel rolls in a manner that also allows convenient dispensing of a cleaning fluid.
  • Fluid dispensers are well known and can be provided in a variety of forms and shapes.
  • fluid cleaners are in most instances dispensed from spray bottles.
  • the spray bottles can include a spray head, a pump, a reservoir formed by the hollow body of the bottle and a dispensing nozzle.
  • the fluid is moved by the action of the pump from the reservoir through the spray head and expelled from the spray nozzle.
  • the pump is manually operated by the user.
  • Dispensers for tissue are known and used in many households. Most common dispensers are dispensers for toilet paper rolls that are affixed to a wall. Other dispensers especially those for kitchen towel rolls are provided as stand alone vertical dispensers onto which a roll of kitchen towels is inserted.
  • Combined dispensers have been described as apparatuses intended to dispense both a cleaning fluid and paper towels. Such dispensers are for example described in patent US6644563B2 issued to Kirk Preston. Some combined dispensers are also commercially available such as those sold by Spraybottles Inc, St Cloud, Florida, USA, under the name “Spray 'N Towel” and those sold by Hobby Club USA, 10771 Monte Vista, Ontario, California 91762 , USA, under the name "Spray Mate”.
  • dispensers allow a roll of tissue to be inserted around an extension, which extension is also a part of an axial reservoir for cleaning fluid.
  • the upper (proximal) part of the reservoir engages to a dispensing head connected to a pump comprised therein.
  • a tube extends from the pump to the bottom (distal end) of the reservoir. It allows the fluid present at the bottom of the reservoir, for example when the reservoir is almost empty, to be efficiently pumped.
  • the reservoir further comprises a hollow lower part that is of larger diameter than the axial part and forms a base for the dispenser. Refilling of the cleaning fluid is achieved by removing the dispensing head from the reservoir and filling the reservoir through its orifice.
  • the recharging of the dispenser with a new tissue roll is operated in a similar way by removing the dispensing head and inserting a new roll around the axial reservoir.
  • the speed of consumption of the fluid is typically different from the speed of consumption of the tissue roll.
  • the fluid and the tissue roll need to be replaced at a different frequency.
  • some cleaning fluid is often present in the dispensing head and/or in the tube. It can drip on the new tissue roll being placed resulting in inconvenience for the user and in a waste of tissue.
  • the dispenser is intended to be held by the user with one hand while the fluid is being dispensed.
  • the user usually needs to take a variety of positions in order to achieve efficiently his or her cleaning job.
  • the conventional dispensers have a wide base, it can be difficult to obtain an efficient dispensing, especially when the fluid is at low level in the reservoir, as the tube may not be in contact with the remaining fluid at the bottom of the reservoir in all positions.
  • a dispenser dispensing both a fluid and a tissue roll that allows the tissue roll to be replaced without being contaminated by the fluid.
  • a dispenser that can dispense a fluid in all positions and regardless the level of fluid in the dispenser, and which dispensing is not hindered by the movements of the user when using the dispenser.
  • the invention relates to a fluid dispenser also useful as a tissue roll dispenser for tissue roll having an axial void space, comprising a dispensing head, a base and a hollow body.
  • the dispensing head comprises a pump.
  • the pump is configured to pump a fluid via a tube out of the hollow body and to dispense it through the dispensing head.
  • the hollow body has a proximal end a distal closed end and comprises a longitudinal dimension and perpendicular thereto a maximum cross section dimension.
  • the proximal end is connected to the dispensing head.
  • the hollow body is selected to at least partially fit inside the axial void space of a tissue roll such as to enable the rotation of the tissue roll around the hollow body.
  • the base is disposed at the distal closed end of the hollow body and provides a substantially stable stand for the fluid dispenser.
  • the dispenser of the invention is characterized in that the hollow body is detachable from the base such as to release the distal closed end and to allow the insertion of the distal closed end into the axial void space of a tissue roll.
  • the dispenser of the invention prevents the tissue from being contaminated by the fluid during the placement of the tissue roll.
  • the distal closed end of the hollow body has a relatively narrow cross section dimension, not exceeding the diameter of the axial void space of a corresponding tissue roll.
  • the tube is kept in contact with the fluid over a variety of positions and regardless the level of fluid in the hollow body. This facilitates the use of the dispenser in all positions, even at low fluid level, and brings convenience and dispensing efficiency.
