United States Patent 3,347,410 MIXING ASSEMBLIES FOR APPLICATORS Gilbert Schwartzman, 20 Wilmot Circle, Scarsdale, NY. 10583 Filed Aug. 31, 1966, Ser. No. 576,429 8 Claims. (Cl. 222-80) This invention relates to mixing assemblies for an applicator, and has for its primary object the provision of a single package assembly for facilitating the separate shelf storage of two substances adapted to be thereafter mixed, and further facilitates the application of the mixture through a novel applicator head integrally connected by a bellows to a fitting for attachment to the neck of a container.
The present invention is especially adapted for use with two materials or substances which have an extended shelf life when not mixed, but which must be utilized relatively soon after mixture to prevent deterioration. Various cosmetics, medications, hair dyes, pigments, epoxy adhesives, polishes, cleansing solutions and the like have the foregoing characteristics. For example, conventional hair dyes employ a base material such as a peroxide solution or the like, with which a pigmented material or solution is mixed for immediate application on the hair. The color is determined by the make-up of the pigmented solution. If the pigmented material is mixed with the base and allowed to stand, the mixture may rapidly deteriorate and thus become unusable. It is often very messy to mix these solutions together using separate containers, and the present invention overcomes these difliculties by providing a unitary storage and mixing facility, but also has the additional advantage of providing for convenient application of the mixed fluid by providing for convenient flow of the mixed fluid onto the applicator surface.
One of the important objects of the invention resides in the provision of a stem integrally formed with the applicator head and bellows and so arranged as to open a sealing member to permit mixing of the materials upon depression of the applicator head and bellows.
Futher objects of the invention reside in several different types of novel sealing means adapted to be opened upon initial actuation of a stem to permit mixture of the substances. The sealing means may be in the form of a frangible plate or bottom portion of a retainer ring, a seal bonded or spin welded to the retainer ring, or a plug or container detachably secured to the retainer ring.
Another object of the invention resides in the provision of an applicator that permits the separate shelf storage of two substances of an unstable mixture and which facilitates the mixture of the two substances and further facilitates the application of the mixture immediately after mixing using a novel applicator head, all without removing the substances from the simple assembly comprising the present invention or requiring any exterior handling thereof.
The construction of this invention features an applicator for use with a container provided with a neck having an open, end and having a first substance disposed therein, the applicator comprising a retainer ring having a projecting portion for reception in said neck, and a portion overlying said open end. The applicator further including an outer fitting detachably engaging the outer surface of said neck, an applicator head having openings therethrough, a resilient bellows integral with said applicator head and said fitting and connecting said fitting to said applicator head. The projecting portion is provided at the lowermost end thereof with sealing means to hold a second substance within said retainer ring. A stem is integrally formed with and depends from said applicator head and is engageable with said sealing means upon depression of said applicator head and bellows to open said sealing means to permit the second substance to mix with the first substance.
Still further objects and features of this invention reside in the provision of an applicator which is simple and inexpensive to manufacture, easy to use, capable of metering fluid, such as hair coloring dyes and the like, of various viscosities in an eifective manner, and which is especially adapted for use in connection with cosmetics, medications, hair dyes and tints, polishes, and the like.
These, together with the various ancillary objects and features of the invention, which will become apparent as the following description proceeds, are attained by this applicator, preferred embodiments of which have been illustrated in the accompanying drawings, by way of example only, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a vertical sectional view tion constructed in accordance present invention;
FIG. 2 is a view similar to FIG. 1, but showing the applicator in a position during initial operation thereof for opening the sealing means;
FIG. 3 is a partial plan view showing the applicator head;
FIG. 4 is a view similar to FIG. 1, but of a modified embodiment of the applicator;
FIG. 5 is a vertical sectional view similar to FIG. 4 showing the applicator thereof during the stage of initial opening thereof;
FIG. 6 is a partial top plan view of the applicator illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5, and illustrating details of the applicator head;
FIG. 7 is a vertical the invention;
FIG. 8 is a horizontal sectional view taken along the plane of line 88 in FIG. 7;
FIG. 9 is a vertical sectional View of an additional modified embodiment of the invention; and,
FIG. 10 is a view of the embodiment of FIG. 10 showing the applicator after opening the sealing means.
With continuing reference to the accompanying drawing, wherein like reference numerals designate similar parts throughout the various views, reference numeral 10 is used to generally designate an embodiment of the applicator comprising the present invention. This applicator 10 includes a container 12 having a neck 11 provided with an open end 13 in which a retainer ring 14 is positioned. The retainer ring includes a projecting portion 15 designed to fit in the neck 11. Integrally formed with the projecting portion 15 is an overlying portion 16 which overlies the open end 13 and with which a fitting 18 is integrally formed. The fitting is snap fitted by means of a rib 20 seating in a groove 22 in the neck 11 or threadedly secured or otherwise secured to neck 11. A bellows 24 is also integrally formed with the fitting.
An applicator head 26 is disposed above and outwardly of the retainer ring 14 and the bellows 24 is integrally molded therewith. The bellows 24 are resilient and normally urge the application head 26 away from the retainer ring 14. The applicator head is provided with a plurality of bores 28 therethrough so that liquid material may pass there through onto the outer surface 30 of the applicator head.
As can be seen in FIG. 3, the bores the center of the applicator head 26 so that the stem 32 can be integrally molded with the applicator head 26 and depend from the center thereof. The bores 28 circumferentially surround the stem 32. The stem 32 may be provided with a pointed end 34.
The lowermost edge 36 of the projecting portion 15 has sealing means 38 spin welded, bonded, or otherwise secured thereto. The sealing means forms a sealing closure through an applicawith the concepts of the sectional view of another form of 28 are spaced from for the retaining ring and may be in the form of a frangible plastic sheet or the like.
Disposed in the container 12 is a first substance indicated at A, such as a liquid component of a hair dye or the like. A second substance B, such as a pigment, powder, or the like is sealed within the retainer ring 14 so that upon depression of the applicator head 26, the stem 32 will cause the sealing means 38 to be opened, as shown in FIG. 2, allowing the substance B to mix with the substance A. The initial actuation of the applicator head 26 will break the seal.
Use thereafter of the applicator allows for the mixed solutions to pass through the bores 28.
The bellows 24 performs the unusual multiple func tions of securely mounting the applicator head 26 and normally urges the applicator head 26 away from the retaining ring 14 and the stem 32 away from the sealing means 38 and provides for resiliently mounting the applicator head with the stem 32 serving as a limit or centering device.
A cap 58 is secured to the applicator by having its rib 52 snap fitted in a groove 54 provided in the fitting 18.
