Abstract
The present invention relates to a dispensing container, comprising: an elongate frame with a first end and a second and; and an elongate reservoir extending between the first end and the second end of the frame; wherein the reservoir comprises: a foldable wall which is connected at a first end thereof to the frame close to the first end of the frame for rotation around a longitudinal axis of the frame by means of an operating element, and which is connected non-rotatably to the frame at a second end thereof; and a dispensing opening close to the first end of the frame.
Claims22
A dispensing container, the dispensing container comprising:
- an elongate frame with a first end and a second end;
- and
- an elongate reservoir extending between the first end and the second end of the frame, wherein the elongate reservoir comprises:
- a dispensing opening close to the first end of the frame;
- and
- a closing element displaceable between a closing position and an open position relative to the dispensing opening, wherein:
- in the closing position the closing element closes the dispensing opening of the reservoir;
- in the open position the dispensing opening is clear of the closing element;
- and
- the closing element is connected to an operating element and the frame via a movement-transmitting connecting construction;
- wherein
- the movement-transmitting connecting construction is adapted such that:
- in the closing position of the closing element a displacement of the closing element from the closing position to the open position is associated with a rotation of the operating element around the longitudinal axis of the frame in the dispensing direction;
- in the open position of the closing element a displacement of the closing element from the open position to the closing position is associated with a rotation of the operating element around the longitudinal axis of the frame in the direction opposite to the dispensing direction;
- and
- in the open position of the closing element a displacement of the closing element from the open position to the closing position is disassociated from a rotation of the operating element around the longitudinal axis of the frame in the dispensing direction;
- wherein the movement-transmitting connecting construction comprises:
- a screw connection with which the closing element is connected to the operating element, the screw connection being adapted such that a rotation of the operating element around the longitudinal axis of the frame relative to the closing element results in a displacement of the closing element along the longitudinal axis of the frame.
A closing element for use with a dispensing container comprising an elongate frame with a first end and a second end, an elongate reservoir extending between the first end and the second end of the frame and a dispensing opening close to the first end of the frame, wherein the closing element is displaceable between a closing position and an open position relative to the dispensing opening, wherein:
- in the closing position the closing element closes the dispensing opening of the reservoir;
- in the open position the dispensing opening is clear of the closing element;
- and
- the closing element is connected to an operating element and the frame via a movement-transmitting connecting construction;
- wherein
- the movement-transmitting connecting construction is adapted such that:
- in the closing position of the closing element a displacement of the closing element from the closing position to the open position is associated with a rotation of the operating element around the longitudinal axis of the frame in the dispensing direction;
- in the open position of the closing element a displacement of the closing element from the open position to the closing position is associated with a rotation of the operating element around the longitudinal axis of the frame in the direction opposite to the dispensing direction;
- and
- in the open position of the closing element a displacement of the closing element from the open position to the closing position is disassociated from a rotation of the operating element around the longitudinal axis of the frame in the dispensing direction;
- wherein the movement-transmitting connecting construction comprises:
- a screw connection with which the closing element is connected to the operating element, the screw connection being adapted such that a rotation of the operating element around the longitudinal axis of the frame relative to the closing element results in a displacement of the closing element along the longitudinal axis of the frame.
