[0001] The present invention concerns a multi-use dispenser bottle that can be used primarily
in the flower nursery and agricultural field for treating herbaceous, floricultural
and arboreous cultivations with phytosanitary products and fertilizers, and also for
dispensing products for home cleaning and sanitization and, in any case, suitable
for dispensing such products as spray or in nebulized form. The bottle is particularly
suitable for hobby and household use, but can also advantageously be employed for
professional purposes.
[0002] As is well known, the use of products of the aforementioned type presents various
degrees of risk for the operator and the environment, because the handling of these
substances can often prove polluting and harmful for health. For dispensing these
substances, be it at the amateur or professional level, there are available bottles
with spray dispensers of which the draw tube is immersed in the liquid to be dispensed
contained in the bottle. In this type of dispenser the bottle mouth serves not only
for attaching the dispenser device, but also for the possible operations of replenishing
the bottle after the removal of the dispenser device and for directly dosing the substance
contained in the bottle without spraying it, for example, when it is to be spread
over the ground.
[0003] Removing the dispenser device from the bottle is an operation that has to be performed
with a great deal of care, especially when the substances to be distributed are toxic,
because the draw tube of the dispenser device will drip dangerously and thus disperse
the substance in the environment or, worse still, contaminate the operator and other
persons who may be present.
[0004] The present invention therefore sets out to provide a multi-use dispenser bottle
that will minimize the pollution and contamination risks mentioned above.
[0005] Another object of the present invention is to provide a dispenser bottle of the aforementioned
type that will also make it possible to improve and facilitate the handling of the
substances to be distributed.
[0006] These objects are achieved with the multi-use dispenser bottle in accordance with
the present invention, which comprises a body suitable for containing the product
to be dispensed and having the characteristic that on said body there is arranged
a first bottle mouth provided with a removable stopper and a second bottle mouth to
which there is applied a spray-type dispenser device that draws the product from within
the body of the bottle.
[0007] The invention will now be illustrated in greater detail by the description about
to be given of a particular embodiment thereof, which is to be considered solely as
an example and not limitative in any way, said description making reference to the
attached drawings of which:
- figure 1 shows a perspective view of a dispenser bottle in accordance with the present
invention.
[0008] Referring to this figure, the reference number 1 generally indicates the dispenser
bottle in accordance with the present invention. The bottle consists of a container
body 2 having a capacity sufficient for containing an appropriate amount of the substance
to be dispensed and can be advantageously provided with a handle 3 formed as part
of said body 2.
[0009] At the top of body 2 there are provided two bottle-mouth openings 4 and 5. The first
bottle mouth 4 is provided with a removable stopper 6, while to the second bottle
mouth 5 there is applied a spray-type dispenser device of a known type, generically
indicated by the reference number 7.
[0010] With a view to making it possible for a single hand to both hold the bottle and operate
the dispenser device, the bottle mouth 5 bearing the dispenser device is situated
immediately above handle 3 of the bottle.
[0011] Since the bottle 1 is provided with two mouths, the dispenser device 7 no longer
has to be removed, thus eliminating the principal source of the pollution and contamination
risk, namely the dripping of the draw tube of the dispenser device after the latter
has been detached from the bottle. In fact, the presence of mouth 4 closed by stopper
6 makes it possible for the bottle to be replenished or recharged through said mouth
4 after stopper 6 has been removed and without having to use mouth 5 to which the
dispenser device 7 is attached. The same applies when the bottle contents have to
be diluted.
[0012] Furthermore, the bottle in accordance with the invention can be used both for dispensing
its contents by means of spraying through the dispenser device 7, or by dosing predetermined
amounts of liquid through mouth 4, and this once again without having to remove the
dispenser device 7.
[0013] It should also be noted that the dispenser in accordance with the present invention
also makes possible a significant saving of space, because the product to be dispensed
does not have to be kept in a separate receptacle, but can all be contained in the
same bottle and then poured from it whenever it is needed for other uses.
[0014] Variations and/or modifications can be brought to the dispenser bottle in accordance
with the present invention without for this reason departing from the scope of the
invention as defined by the claims hereinbelow.
1. A multi-use dispenser bottle comprising a body for containing the product to be dispensed
and characterized in that said body has a first bottle mouth provided with a removable stopper and a second
bottle mouth to which there is applied a spray-type dispenser device for drawing said
product from within said body.
2. A dispenser bottle according to claim 1, wherein a handle is formed in said body immediately
below the second bottle mouth to which said spray-type dispenser device is applied.
