Abstract
A container for a substance to be sprayed, wherein the container comprises a reservoir for the substance, wherein the container is provided with operable spraying means connected to the reservoir for spraying the substance, wherein the spraying means (3, 4, 13, 14) are provided with at least two spaced apart outflow openings (7, 8; 17, 18, 18′) which can be brought into fluid communication (2; 12) with the reservoir (1; 11) for spraying the substance in at least two spray beams (B1, B2; B 11, 11′, B12) to surroundings. The invention further relates to a cap evidently destined for such a container. Additionally, the invention relates to a method for manufacturing such a container.
Claims20
An apparatus for spraying a substance into an interior area of a shoe, the apparatus comprising:
- a container providing a reservoir for the substance and an outlet channel;
- a sprayer coupled to the container and having:
- a spray former;
- at least one outflow opening in a first horizontal direction that can be brought into fluid communication with the reservoir for generating a first spray pattern;
- and
- at least one outflow opening in a second horizontal direction that can be brought into fluid communication with the reservoir for generating a second spray pattern;
- a pair of guidewalls extending outward from the at least one outflow opening in the first horizontal direction and the at least one outflow opening in the second horizontal direction, the pair of guidewalls being substantially planar and diverging from each other as the guidewalls extend outward;
- wherein the at least one outflow opening in the first horizontal direction and the at least one outflow opening in the second horizontal direction are spaced apart from each other so that the first and second spray patterns are in substantially opposite horizontal spraying directions;
- and
- wherein the at least one outflow opening in the first horizontal direction and the at least one outflow opening in the second horizontal direction differ from each other in at least one of a cross section and a dimension in order to create different spray patterns in the substantially opposite spray directions.
An apparatus for spraying a substance into an interior area of a shoe, the apparatus comprising:
- a container providing a reservoir for the substance and an outlet channel;
- a sprayer coupled to the container and having an atomizer, a first outflow opening, and a second outflow opening;
- and
- a first guidewall and a second guidewall extending outward from the first outflow opening, the first and second guidewalls diverging from each other as they extend from the first outflow opening, wherein the first guidewall and the second guidewall are substantially planar;
- wherein the first outflow opening can be brought into fluid communication with the reservoir for spraying the substance in a first spray beam, and the second outflow opening can be brought into fluid communication with the reservoir for spraying the substance in a second spray beam;
- wherein the first and second outflow openings are spaced apart from each other so that the first and second spray beams have different spraying directions.
An apparatus for spraying a substance into an interior area of a shoe, the apparatus comprising:
- a container providing a reservoir for the substance and an outlet channel;
- a sprayer coupled to the container and having:
- a spray former;
- only one first outflow opening in a first substantially horizontal direction that can be brought into fluid communication with the reservoir for generating a first spray beam;
- and
- only one second outflow opening in a second substantially horizontal direction that can be brought into fluid communication with the reservoir for generating a second spray beam, the second substantially horizontal direction being substantially opposite the first substantially horizontal direction;
- a plurality of guidewalls extending outward from the first and second outflow openings, the plurality of guidewalls comprising a first substantially planar guidewall and a second substantially planar guidewall extending outward from the first outflow opening, the first and second guidewalls diverging from each other as they extend from the first outflow opening;
- wherein the first outflow opening and the second outflow opening differ from each other in at least one of a cross section and a dimension.
