(a) Technical Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a container having an inner and outer layer together with an upper and lower diaphragm to provide a container with constant amount, isolation, anti-reverse flow delivery.
(b) Description of the Prior Art
Conventional tubular container such as container for toothpaste, cream, chemical agent, emulsifier, etc as shown in
The drawbacks of the conventional tubular containers are as follows:
(2) Due to the fact that the delivery of the contents is by a squeezing action and controlling by squeezing is rather difficult and therefore the contents that delivered are normally either too little or too much.
As for aluminum material tubular container, the drawbacks are that:
In view of the above drawbacks, it is an object of the present invention to provide a double-layered fluid container, which mitigates the above drawbacks.
An aspect of the present invention is to provide a double-layered fluid container including an enclosure and a cap, characterized in that the enclosure including an inner and outer layer and the inner layer being an inner pocket with elasticity and the outer layer being an outer-layered container which can be restored after the container is depressed or squeezed, and an end opening of the inner-layered pocket being connected to form as a unit, the upper and lower end of the outer-layered container is divided into a top and bottom diaphragm slot so that the top and bottom diaphragm are respectively mounted to the slot thereof to form alternating switching operation, the upper diaphragm is a netted hole layer and the lower diaphragm is an outlet layer, and the lower diaphragm slot is a netted-hole slot, and the lower layer is an inlet layer such that the upper and lower diaphragm having an isolation slot is restorable within the slot.
An object of the present invention is to provide a double-layered fluid container, which can prohibit air from entering the container to oxidize the contents in the container.
Yet a further object of the present invention is to provide a double-layered fluid container, wherein the container will restore to its original shape after a squeezing action to the container.
Still a further object of the present invention is to provide a double-layered fluid container, wherein the contents in the container can be smoothly delivered by squeezing even when the contents are ended soon.
The foregoing object and summary provide only a brief introduction to the present invention. To fully appreciate these and other objects of the present invention as well as the invention itself, all of which will become apparent to those skilled in the art, the following detailed description of the invention and the claims should be read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Throughout the specification and drawings identical reference numerals refer to identical or similar parts.
Many other advantages and features of the present invention will become manifest to those versed in the art upon making reference to the detailed description and the accompanying sheets of drawings in which a preferred structural embodiment incorporating the principles of the present invention is shown by way of illustrative example.
The following descriptions are of exemplary embodiments only, and are not intended to limit the scope, applicability or configuration of the invention in any way. Rather, the following description provides a convenient illustration for implementing exemplary embodiments of the invention. Various changes to the described embodiments may be made in the function and arrangement of the elements described without departing from the scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.

As shown in
The upper diaphragm 15 and the lower diaphragm 16 are slightly reciprocated when the contents are depressed or released. When the contents are depressed (or squeezed), the contents push upward and push the upper diaphragm 15 to open and the contents are delivered from the isolation slot 151 via the netted-hole layer 171. When the depress action is removed, the internal suction causes the upper diaphragm 15 to adhere the outlet layer 172 to close the hole, prohibiting air from coming into the enclosure to contact with the contents.
When the upper diaphragm 15 is opening and closing as a result of squeezing action, the lower diaphragm also provides the similar but opposite closing and opening action. When a squeezing action is implanted, the lower diaphragm 16 automatically closes, and the outer-layered enclosure is provided with a proportional internal pressure, and therefore, the lower diaphragm 16 is at a closing state. When the squeezing action is released, the outer-layered enclosure 14 and the delivery of the contents of the enclosure cause a slight suction and lower diaphragm 16 moves upward so that an opening state is formed. Air enters to fill the space of the discharged contents. Thus, the contents will gradually be used up with this process. Thus, the present invention provides a constant quality delivery of contents and isolating external air from entering.
It will be understood that each of the elements described above, or two or more together may also find a useful application in other types of methods differing from the type described above.
While certain novel features of this invention have been shown and described and are pointed out in the annexed claim, it is not intended to be limited to the details above, since it will be understood that various omissions, modifications, substitutions and changes in the forms and details of the device illustrated and in its operation can be made by those skilled in the art without departing in any way from the spirit of the present invention.
