DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Dispensing guns in preferred embodiments according to the present invention for dispensing a viscous liquid food material will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 22. Parts shown in FIGS. 1 to 22 like or corresponding to those of the foregoing conventional dispensing gun shown in FIGS. 23 to 24 are designated by the same reference characters and the description thereof will be omitted. And, in the following description, a direction in which the viscous liquid material is discharged is specified as a forward direction.

First Embodiment

A dispensing gun 100 in a first embodiment according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5.

Referring to FIG. 1, the dispensing gun 100 has a holding unit 1, which is the same as the previously described holding unit shown in FIG. 23.

A cartridge 20 for holding a pouch P is different from the cartridge 10 shown in FIG. 24. The cartridge 20 is built by putting an annular member 22 on a front end part of a cylindrical member 21 having the shape of a circular cylinder. The cylindrical member 21 and the annular member 22 are separate members as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. The cylindrical member 21 has a cylindrical body 21a and an inner flange 21b formed on the front end of the cylindrical body 21a. The flange 21b defines an opening 21c. The annular member 22 has a cylindrical part 22a put on the front end part of the cylindrical member 21, an externally threaded boss 22b protruding forward from the cylindrical part 22a, and a holding part 22c formed in the inner circumference of the externally threaded boss 22b. The holding part 22c defines a passage S for the viscous liquid food material to flow.

A cutting blade 13 has L-shaped end parts 13a on both sides, and a cutting part 13b having the shape of a chevron and protruding backward toward the pouch P. The cutting part 13b resembles a boomerang. The cutting part 13b has a sharp point 13c protruding backward toward the pouch P, and cutting edges 13d extending toward the end parts 13a from the point 13c and facing the pouch P. Front side surfaces of the cutting part 13b define a triangular void (space) 13e disposed adjacent to the passage S. The cutting blade 13 may be made of a metal, such as a stainless steel, or a resin, such as a hard polyethylene resin (PE) or a polyethylene terephthalate resin (PET).

A dividing member 30 has a main body 31 having the shape of a bottomed cylinder, and a flange 32 formed on the front end of the body 31. A communication opening 33 is formed coaxially with the main body 31 in the circular bottom wall of the main body 31. The dividing member 30 may be made of a metal, such as a stainless steel, or a resin, such as a hard polyethylene resin (PE) or a polyethylene terephthalate resin (PET).

A closing member 14 is a thin disk of a resin, such as a polyethylene resin or a polyamide resin. The closing member 14 is provided with three discharge openings 14a. Each of the discharge openings 14a is a combination of slits. As shown in FIG. 4, the discharge openings 14a lie radially outward the circumference of the communication opening 33, and the discharge openings 14a are disposed at the same radial distances, respectively, from the axis of the passage S.

The externally threaded boss 22b of the annular member 22 is inserted in an opening formed in the front end part 3b of a gun body 1. Then, the cutting blade 13, the dividing member 30 and the closing member 14 are fitted in the holding part 22c of the annular member 22. Then, an internally threaded part 23a of a fastening member 23 is screwed on the externally threaded part 22b to fasten the cutting blade 13, the dividing member 30 and the closing member 14 to the gun body 1.

When the cutting blade 13, the dividing member 30 and the closing member 14 are thus fastened to the gun body 1, the passage S defined by the externally threaded part 22b is divided into a first holding chamber S1 and a second holding chamber S2. The first holding chamber is behind the dividing member 30, i.e., on the side of the cutting blade 13, and the second holding chamber S2 is in front of the dividing member 30, i.e., on the side of the closing member 14 as shown in FIG. 5.

Since the cylindrical member 21 and the annular member 22 are separate members, a new pouch P filled up with the viscous liquid food material can be put on the gun body 1 by the steps of putting the pouch P on the cylindrical member 21, fitting the cylindrical member 21 in a concave holding part 4 of the gun body 1, and fitting a front end part of the cylindrical member 21 in the cylindrical part 22a of the annular member 22. Air remaining in spaces defined between the cylindrical member 21 and the annular member 22 escapes through a gap between the front end of the cylindrical member 21 and the annular member 22. Therefore, the viscous liquid food material remaining in the annular member 22 and the fastening member 23 will not be accidentally pushed forward by the pressure of air. Thus the viscous liquid food material will not accidentally leak from the dispensing gun 100.

After the viscous liquid food material contained in the pouch P has been exhausted, the empty pouch P and the cylindrical member 21 are separated together from the cylindrical part 22a of the annular member 22, and the empty pouch P can be easily removed from the cylindrical member 21. The inner circumference of the cylindrical member 21 is difficult for the viscous liquid food material to adhere and the inner circumference of the cylindrical member 21 can be easily cleaned even if the viscous liquid food material adheres thereto. Thus the dispensing gun 100 ensures sanitary work.

After the new pouch P has been loaded into the dispensing gun 100, a trigger 9 supported on the gun body 1 is squeezed to advance a piston 7. The piston 7 pushes the pouch P forward to press the front end part of the pouch P against the cutting edges 13d of the cutting blade 13. Thus an outlet trough which the viscous liquid food material is pushed out is formed in the front end part of the pouch P.

As shown in an enlarged view in FIG. 5, the sharp point 13c protruding backward toward the pouch P pierces the pouch P, and the circumference of the outlet of the pouch P lies around the void (space) 13e extending in front of the cutting part 13b. Therefore, the outlet through which the viscous liquid food material is pushed out will not close. Thus the viscous liquid food material contained in the pouch P can be surely pushed out of the pouch P.

In some cases, the outlet formed in the front end part of the pouch P is shifted toward one side of the cutting blade 13 when the pouch P is pressed repeatedly by the piston 7 and the pouch P is deformed. If the outlet is shifted, the flow of the viscous liquid food material pushed out through the outlet is caused to deviate radially outward as indicated by the large arrow A and the small arrow B in FIG. 5. However, the flow of the viscous liquid food material pushed out of the pouch P through the outlet is dammed temporarily by the dividing member 30 and is held temporarily in the first holding chamber S1. Thus the deviated flow of the viscous liquid food material is prevented from directly reaching the closing member 14.

When the pouch P is pressed repeatedly by the piston 7 to increase the pressure of the viscous liquid food material in the first holding chamber S1, the viscous liquid food material flows gradually through the communication opening 33 of the dividing member 30 from the first holding chamber S1 into the second holding chamber S2. Since the communication opening 33 of the dividing member 30 is aligned with the axis of the passage S, the viscous liquid food material flows coaxially with the passage S into the second holding chamber S2 and the flow of the viscous liquid food material will not deviate from the axis of the passage S.

A fixed amount of the viscous liquid food material is caused to flow through the communication opening 33 into the second holding chamber S2 each time the piston 7 is advanced by a predetermined distance. Each time the pressure of the viscous liquid food material contained in the pouch P is raised by pressing the pouch P by the piston 7, the viscous liquid food material is discharged through the discharge openings 14a of the closing member 14 in equal amounts simultaneously as indicated by the arrows E in FIG. 5.

The dividing member 30 of the dispensing gun 100 in the first embodiment is provided with the single communication opening 33 aligned with the passage S of the viscous liquid food material. The dispensing gun 100 may be provided with a dividing member 34 provided with an communication opening 35 having the shape of a grid as shown in FIG. 6 or a dividing member 36 having a communication opening 37 including a set of circular openings as shown in FIG. 7. The dimensions of the communication openings 35 and 37 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 should be determined such that the deviated flow of the viscous liquid food material as indicated by the arrows A and B in FIG. 5 can be dammed temporarily and the viscous liquid food material is held temporarily in the first holding chamber S1.

Modification of Dispensing Gun

Modifications of the dispensing gun 100 in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 12.

First Modification

A dispensing gun 110 in a first modification shown in FIG. 8 is provided with a dividing member 38 having a tapered central part 38a having the shape of a truncated circular cone protruding toward a cutting blade 13. The central part 38a has a bottom wall provided with a communication opening 38b. The dividing member 38 divides a passage S into a first holding chamber S1 and a second holding chamber S2. The first holding chamber is behind the dividing member 38, i.e., on the side of the cutting blade 13, and the second holding chamber S2 is in front of the dividing member 38, i.e., on the side of a closing member 14.

The deviated flow of the viscous liquid food material pushed out of a pouch P indicated by the arrows A and B is dammed temporarily by the dividing member 38, and is guided by the tapered surface of the central part 38a so as to reverse toward the pouch P, and then flows through the communication opening 38b into the second holding chamber S2. Thus the deviated flow of the viscous liquid food material can be surely guided toward the center of the central part 38a of the dividing member 38.

Second Modification

A dispensing gun 120 in a second modification shown in FIG. 9 is provided with a dividing member 39 having a cylindrical central part 39a having the shape of a bottomed cylinder protruding toward a cutting blade 13. The central part 39a has a bottom wall provided with a communication opening 39b. The dividing member 39 divides a passage S into a first holding chamber S1 and a second holding chamber S2. The first holding chamber is behind the dividing member 39, i.e., on the side of the cutting blade 13, and the second holding chamber S2 is in front of the dividing member 39, i.e., on the side of a closing member 14.

The deviated flow of the viscous liquid food material pushed out of a pouch P indicated by the arrows A and B is dammed temporarily by the dividing member 39, and is obstructed by the cylindrical side wall of the cylindrical central part 39a so as to reverse toward the pouch P, and then flows through the communication opening 39b into the second holding chamber S2. Thus the deviated flow of the viscous liquid food material can be surely guided toward the center of the central part 39a of the dividing member 39.

Third Modification

A dispensing gun 130 in a third modification shown in FIG. 10 is provided with a dividing member 40 having a cylindrical part having the shape of a bottomed cylinder protruding forward, i.e., a discharging direction. This part has a bottom wall 40a provided with a communication opening 40b.

The dispensing gun 130 is provided with a closing member 50 having a cylindrical part having a bottom wall 50a provided with three discharge openings.

The dividing member 40 divides a passage S into a first holding chamber S1 and a second holding chamber S2. The first holding chamber S1 is behind the dividing member 40, i.e., on the side of the cutting blade 13, and the second holding chamber S2 is in front of the dividing member 40, i.e., on the side of the closing member 50.

The first holding chamber S1 has a volume greater than those of the foregoing first holding chambers S1.

The deviated flow of the viscous liquid food material pushed out of a pouch P indicated by the arrows A and B is obstructed by the viscous liquid food material stored in the large first holding chamber S1 and hence cannot flow directly through the communication opening 40b into the second holding chamber S2.

Fourth Modification

A dispensing gun 140 in a fourth modification shown in FIG. 11 is provided with a dividing member 41 having a large, tapered central part 41a having the shape of a truncated circular cone protruding in a discharging direction. The central part 41a has a front end wall provided with a communication opening 41b coaxial with the passage S.

The dispensing gun 140 is provided with a closing member 51 having a cylindrical part protruding in a discharging direction and having a bottom wall 51a provided with three discharge openings.

The dividing member 41 divides a passage S into a first holding chamber S1 and a second holding chamber S2. The first holding chamber S1 is behind the dividing member 41, i.e., on the side of the cutting blade 13, and the second holding chamber S2 is in front of the dividing member 41, i.e., on the side of the closing member 51. The first holding chamber S1 has a volume greater than those of the foregoing first holding chambers S1.

The deviated flow of the viscous liquid food material pushed out of a pouch P indicated by the arrows A and B is obstructed by a large amount of the viscous liquid food material stored in the large first holding chamber S1. The viscous liquid food material stored in the first holding chamber S1 is guided by the tapered central part 41a toward the communication opening 41b formed coaxially with the passage S in the front end wall of the tapered central part 41a. Thus the deviated flow of the viscous liquid food material cannot flow directly through the communication opening 41b into the second holding chamber S2.

Fifth Modification

A dispensing gun 150 in a fifth modification will be described with reference to FIG. 12. In the dispensing gun 100 in the first embodiment, the cartridge 20 containing a pouch P and held in the holding unit 4 of the gun body 1 is built by putting the annular member 22 on the front end part of the cylindrical member 21 having the shape of a circular cylinder. The cylindrical member 21 and the annular member 22 are separate members.

On the contrary, the dispensing gun 150 in the fifth modification shown in FIG. 12 includes a cartridge 25 having a cylindrical body 25a and an externally threaded boss 25b. The cylindrical body 25a and the externally threaded boss 25b are integrally united. Preferably, a plurality of vent holes 25c are formed in a boundary part between the cylindrical body 25a and the externally threaded boss 25b. Air contained in the cartridge 25 flows out of the cartridge 25 through the vent holes 25b when a new pouch P fully filled with a viscous liquid food material is inserted into the cylindrical body 25a, so that the viscous liquid food material remaining around a dividing member 30 is not discharged by the pressure of the compressed air.

Modification of Cutting Blade

Cutting blades in modifications will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 to 17.

Each of the dispensing gun 100 in the first embodiment and the dispensing guns in the modifications of the dispensing gun 100 is provided with the cutting blade 13 having the shape of a boomerang. Dispensing guns according to the present invention may be provided with a cutting blade of any suitable shape, provided that the cutting blade can define a void (space) on the front side with respect to a discharging direction. When a void (space) extends on the front side of the cutting blade with respect to the discharging direction, the void (space) will not be entirely clogged up with a warped front end part of a pouch P pushed forward, and the viscous liquid food material pushed out of the pouch through an outlet formed in the front end part of the pouch P can flow through the void toward the discharge openings.

A cutting blade 60 shown in FIG. 13 has a cutting part 60a having the shape of a chevron and protruding backward with respect to the discharging direction. The cutting part 60a has a sharp, straight cutting edge 60b perpendicular to the axis of the passage S. A void (space) 60c is formed on the front side with respect to the discharging direction of the cutting edge 60b.

A cutting blade 61 shown in FIG. 14 has a trident cutting part 61a having three cutting edges 61b. A void (space) 61c is formed on the front side with respect to the discharging direction of the cutting edges 61b.

The cutting blades 60 and 61, similarly to the cutting blade 13, can form the void (space) in a central part of the passage S.

A cutting blade 62 shown in FIG. 15 has a straight cutting part 62a having a cutting edge 62c and extending perpendicular to the axis of the passage S, and opposite L-shaped end parts 62b. Thus the cutting blade 62 forms a void (space) 62d on the front side with respect to the discharging direction of the cutting edge 62c.

A cutting blade 63 shown in FIG. 16 has a cruciform cutting part 63a having four cutting edges 63c and extending perpendicular to the axis of the passage S, and four L-shaped end parts 63b. Thus a void (space) 63d is formed on the front side with respect to the discharging direction of the cutting edges 63c.

Each of the cutting blades 62 and 63 forms a void (space) extending along the diameter of the passage S.

A cutting blade 64 shown in FIG. 17 has a shape designed by modifying that of the cutting blade 60 shown in FIG. 13. The cutting blade 64 has an cutting part 64a protruding in the shape of a chevron toward the pouch P. The cutting part 64a has opposite arms obliquely extending from the pouch P, and a straight connecting part 64b extending perpendicular to the axis of the passage S and connecting the free ends of the opposite arms. A cutting edge 64c extending perpendicular to the axis of the passage S is formed in the back side with respect to the discharging direction of the straight connecting part 64b. Thus, a void (space) 64d is formed on the front side with respect to the discharging direction of the cutting edge 64c.

However, particularly desirable shape of the cutting blade is a boomerang-shape, which is formed by cutting out a chevron-shaped blank from a flat plate, and processing the blank to form the cutting blade 13 having a sharp point 13c protruding backward toward the pouch P and cutting edges 13d extending in opposite directions from the point 13c.

Because, when the boomerang-shaped cutting blade 13 is used, the sharp point 13c of the cutting blade 13 pierces the front end part of the pouch P and forms an opening in the front part when the pouch P is advanced in the cylindrical member 21 and pressed against the cutting blade 13. The triangular void (space) 13e is formed on the front side with respect to the discharging direction of the sharp point 13c, the opening formed in the front end part of the pouch P can open into the passage S for the viscous liquid food material formed in the annular member 22.

Thus the triangular void (space) 13e will not be entirely clogged when the pouch P is pushed forward by the piston 7. And, the viscous liquid food material contained in the pouch P and pushed out through the outlet formed in the front end part of the pouch P can flow forward though the triangular void (space) 13e.

Also, the sharp point 13c of the boomerang-shaped cutting blade 13 remains stuck in the opening formed in the front end part of the pouch P, the opening of the pouch P will not be dislocated relative to the axis of the passage S for the viscous liquid food material even if the pouch P is twisted in the cylindrical member 21. Thus the viscous liquid food material can be pushed out of the pouch P.

Second Embodiment

A dispensing gun 200 in a second embodiment according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 18.

The dispensing gun 200 employs the cutting blade 62 shown in FIG. 15.

Therefore, a dividing member 42 is formed as a flat plate disposed perpendicularly to the axis of the passage S and provided in its central part with a communication opening 42a.

A closing member 52 has the shape of a bottomed cylinder protruding in the discharging direction and having a bottom wall 52a provided with three discharge openings.

A first holding chamber S1 is formed on the side of the cutting blade 62 with respect to the dividing member 42, and a second holding chamber S2 is formed on the side of the closing member 52. Thus the deviated flow of the viscous liquid food material indicated by the arrows A and B can be prevented from directly flowing to the closing member 52.

Third Embodiment

A dispensing gun 300 in a third embodiment according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 19.

The dispensing gun 300 employs a cutting blade 65 having a chevron-shaped cutting part 65a protruding in the discharging direction. Two cutting edges 65b are formed in sides facing a pouch P, respectively, of the cutting part 65a. In the dispensing gun 300, voids (spaces) are formed on the back side of opposite end parts of the cutting blade 65, respectively.

Therefore, a dividing member 40 has the shape of a bottomed cylinder protruding toward a closing member 50 and having a bottom wall 40a provided with a communication opening 40b.

Also, the closing member 50 has the shape of a bottomed cylinder protruding in the discharging direction and having a bottom wall 50a provided with three discharge openings.

A first holding chamber S1 is formed on the side of the cutting blade 65 with respect to the dividing member 40, and a second holding chamber S2 is formed on the side of the closing member 50. Thus the deviated flow of the viscous liquid food material indicated by the arrows A and B can be prevented from directly flowing to the closing member 50.

Fourth Embodiment

A dispensing gun 400 in a fourth embodiment according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 20.

The dispensing gun 400 in the fourth embodiment employs a cutting blade 65 similar to that employed in the dispensing gun 300 in the third embodiment. The cutting blade 65 has a chevron-shaped cutting part 65a protruding in the discharging direction. Two cutting edges 65b are formed in sides facing a pouch P, respectively, of the cutting part 65a.

Therefore, a dividing member 41 has a tapered central part 41a protruding toward a closing member 51 and having a communication opening 41b provided at the end of the tapered central part 41a.

Also, the closing member 51 has the shape of a bottomed cylinder protruding in the discharging direction and having a bottom wall 51a provided with discharge openings.

A first holding chamber S1 is formed on the side of the cutting blade 65 with respect to the dividing member 41, and a second holding chamber S2 is formed on the side of the closing member 51.

The deviated flow of the viscous liquid food material indicated by the arrows A and B is guided by the tapered central part of the dividing member 41 toward the communication opening 41b formed in the bottom wall of the dividing member 41. Thus the deviated flow of the viscous liquid food material indicated by the arrows A and B can be prevented from directly flowing to the closing member 51.

Although the present invention has been described in terms of the dispensing guns in the preferred embodiment thereof, obviously many changes and variations are possible in the preferred embodiments and hence the present invention is not limited in its practical application to the preferred embodiments specifically described herein.

For example, although the closing member 14 included in the dispensing gun 100 in the first embodiment is provided with the three discharge openings 14a as shown in FIG. 4, the closing member 14 may be provided with more than three discharge openings.

Preferably, the four inside corners 71a of a sealed part surrounding a main body 71 of a pouch P containing a viscous liquid food material are diagonal to the sealed part as shown in FIG. 21 instead of perpendicular to the sealed part. Because, if the inside corners of the sealed part are perpendicular to the sealed part, corner parts 73a and 73b of the pouch protrude in corners when a main body 73 of the pouch is gripped to insert the pouch into the cartridge 20 of the dispensing gun. The corner parts 73a and 73b thus protruding in corners make it difficult to insert the pouch P into the cylindrical member 21.

It goes without saying that the dispensing guns in the preferred embodiments of the present invention are applicable not only to dispensing viscous liquid food materials in the kitchens of fast-food shops and public restaurants, but also to dispensing viscous liquid materials other than viscous liquid food materials.
