Background

Generally, toothpaste is a pharmacological composite material that is placed on a toothbrush and used to clean and brighten teeth. Toothpastes are formed in the form of powders, creams, liquids, and the like. Toothpaste is formulated to aid in disinfection, tartar dissolution and odor reduction, and to aid in the treatment or prevention of cavities, alveolar pyorrhea and the like.

Toothpastes, which help clean teeth, are materials including main components such as calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, calcium sulfate, magnesium carbonate, and magnesium chloride, and help clean teeth mechanically. When the toothpaste is not properly sized, hard, and shaped, the toothpaste may damage the tooth surface. Therefore, the toothpaste is required to have a construction condition that the particle size is uniformly in the range of 1 μm to 2 μm, the shape is not too sharp, and the hardness has a 3 mohs hardness scale. In addition to the build conditions, small amounts of cleansing agents, flavors, dyes, disinfectants, tartar dissolvers, and reaction agents are mixed into the toothpaste.

As described above, since toothpaste having a high viscosity is generally stored in a soft toothpaste tube, when the stored toothpaste is used, a cap of the toothpaste tube is opened and then the toothpaste tube is manually squeezed to extrude a proper amount of toothpaste for use.

Referring to fig. 1 to 4, a high viscosity fluid refillable pump dispenser according to an embodiment of the present application includes a housing 10, a head 20, a guide unit 30, and an external unit 40.

The housing 10 stores contents such as toothpaste in an inner space thereof and extracts the contents to the outside. The housing 10 includes a storage section 11 and a pump section 13. The storage part 11 is formed in a hollow cylindrical shape and stores contents such as toothpaste in an inner space thereof. The pump portion 13 is pressed by the head 20 to perform a pumping operation and extract contents such as toothpaste stored in the storage portion 11. The structure of the pump portion 13 is a general pumping structure.

The head 20 is provided in the housing 10 so as to be elevated. The head 20 is lowered to press the pump portion 13 and discharge the contents stored in the storage portion 11 of the housing 10 through the discharge portion 22. The head 20 includes a head main body 21, a pump driving portion 23, a gate portion 25, and a head guide groove 27.

The head main body 21 includes a discharge portion 22 provided at one side thereof (left side in fig. 2), and the head main body 21 is formed in a disk shape and provided at an upper side of the guide unit 30.

The discharge section 22 is configured to discharge the content such as toothpaste extracted from the pump section 13 to the outside. The discharge portion 22 has a streamlined inner shape (see fig. 4). The discharge portion 22 is formed in a streamlined shape so that the hardened contents are not emitted to the front.

The pump driving portion 23 is formed to surround the outer surface of the pump portion 13 on one side (lower side in fig. 4) of the head main body 21 and is elevated to allow the pump portion 13 to perform a pumping operation. When the pump portion 13 performs a pumping operation by the operation of the pump driving portion 23, the contents stored in the storage portion 11 of the housing 10 are lifted and discharged to the outside through the discharge portion 22.

The door 25 is formed on one side (lower right side in fig. 2) of the head main body 21 and is open. When the head body 21 is rotated in the outer body 41 of the outer unit 40, the head body 21 is prevented from interference by the rib portion 43 of the outer unit 40 due to the gate portion 25 according to the position in which the discharge portion 22 is rotated in the exposed portion 45 of the outer unit 40. That is, the door portion 25 avoids interference of the rib portion 43 of the external unit 40 to allow the head main body 21 to be vertically raised.

The door portion 25 is formed at the lower side of the head main body 21 to be opened so as not to be exposed to the outside of the outer body 41 of the outer unit 40. The door portion 25 is not exposed to the outside of the external unit 40, so that it is possible to prevent external foreign substances from being introduced through the door portion 25.

The head guide groove 27 is formed in a groove shape in the outer surface of the head main body 21. The head guide groove 27 is formed to correspond to a protrusion 47 protruding from the outer body 41 of the outer unit 40 and is rotatably fitted to the protrusion 47. The head guide groove 27 can be rotatably fitted to the projection 47, and the head main body 21 can be smoothly rotated.

The guide unit 30 is installed between the housing 10 and the head 20 and guides the sliding of the outer unit 40. The guide unit 30 includes a guide body 31, a through hole 32, and a guide groove 33.

The guide body 31 is formed in a cylindrical shape and is mounted on the upper side of the storage part 11 of the housing 10. The through hole 32 passes through the center of the guide body 31 and allows the pump portion 13 provided on the upper side of the storage portion 11 to be exposed from the upper side of the guide body 31. The through hole 32 has a diameter that exposes the pump portion 13.

A thread is formed in an inner circumferential surface of the through-hole 32, and the thread of the through-hole 32 is screw-coupled with a thread formed in the coupling portion 15 of the housing 10. The housing 10 and the guide unit 30 are coupled to each other due to the screw coupling between the coupling portion 15 of the housing 10 and the through hole 32 of the guide unit 30, and when the housing 10 is replaced, the housing 10 is rotated to release the screw coupling between the coupling portion 15 and the through hole 32.

The guide groove 33 is vertically formed in a groove shape in the outer surface of the guide body 31. The rib portion 43 of the outer unit 40 may slide along the guide groove 33 and may rotate together with the outer unit 40. The guide grooves 33 are formed to each have a width larger than that of each rib section 43 so that the rib sections 43 can perform a sliding motion. In addition, the guide grooves 33 are formed in the guide body 31 such that the number of the guide grooves 33 is greater than or equal to the number of the rib portions 43.

The guide groove 33 is fitted on the rib portion 43 of the external unit 40. The coupling portion 15 is screw-coupled with the through hole 32 so that the housing 10 is fixed to the guide unit 30. The guide groove 33 is fitted on the rib portion 43, and the guide unit 30 is fixed on the outer unit 40, and when the housing 10 is rotated, the housing 10 is separated from the guide unit 30. The housing 10 separated from the guide unit 30 may be replaced with a new housing 10.

The outer unit 40 surrounds the housing 10 and the guide unit 30 and slides as the head 20 is raised. The outer unit 40 is disposed around the outer body 41, the rib portion 43, the exposed portion 45, and the protrusion 47.

The outer body 41 is disposed around the housing 10 and the guide unit 30 and the outer body 41 is formed in a hollow shape, the upper and lower portions of which are open. A plurality of ribs 43 protrude from the inner surface of the outer body 41 in the circumferential direction of the outer body 41. The rib 43 vertically slides along the guide groove 33 of the guide unit 30.

The exposed portion 45 is formed at one side (front side in fig. 2) of the outer body 41, is open, and allows the discharge portion 22 to be exposed to the outside of the outer body 41. The exposed portion 45 provides a space in which the discharge portion 22 can rotate in the outer body 41. The size of the exposing portion 45 is set according to the rotation range of the discharging portion 22.

A projection 47 projects from the inner surface of the outer body 41 in the circumferential direction, and the projection 47 is fitted into the head guide groove 27 of the head 20. The head guide groove 27 rotates along the projection 47.

The plurality of protrusions 47 are spaced apart from each other by a set distance on the inner surface of the outer body 41. The plurality of protrusions 47 may be spaced apart from each other on the inner surface of the outer body 41, thereby reducing material costs.

The operation of the high viscosity fluid refillable pump dispenser according to an embodiment of the present application will be described with reference to fig. 5 and 6.

Referring to fig. 5, when the user presses the head main body 21 of the head 20, the contents stored in the storage part 11 of the housing 10 are discharged to the outside through the discharge part 22 while the pump part 13 performs a pumping operation by the operation of the pump driving part 23.

In order to restrict the operation of the pump driving part 23 so that the contents stored in the storage part 11 of the housing 10 are not discharged, the discharge part 22 of the head main body 21 is rotated along the exposure part 45. In this case, the head main body 21 is smoothly raised due to the gate portion 25 formed in the head main body 21.

Referring to fig. 6, the head main body 21 is rotatable due to the coupling between the head guide groove 27 and the protrusion 47. When the discharge portion 22 is rotated along the exposure portion 45, since the head main body 21 is interfered by the rib portion 43, the rise of the head main body 21 is restricted, and the pump driving portion 23 is not operated. Therefore, the discharge of the content by the operation of the pump portion 13 is not performed through the discharge portion 22.

When the user desires to discharge the contents through the discharge part 22, the user returns the discharge part 22 to its original position. Therefore, the gate portion 25 prevents the head main body 21 from being interfered by the rib portion 43, so that the head main body 21 is smoothly raised.

According to the high viscosity fluid refillable pump dispenser of the present application, when the head 20 is operated, the head 20 is prevented from being interfered with by the rib portion 43 of the outer unit 40 due to the opened door portion 25. Accordingly, the head 20 is smoothly operated, thereby easily discharging the contents stored in the housing 10.

In addition, according to the present application, the rib part 43 and the guide groove 33 may be designed to be easily fitted to each other in the outer unit 40 and the guide unit 30. Therefore, when the contents stored in the housing 10 are used up, the housing 10 can be easily replaced with a new housing 10.

Furthermore, according to the present application, the external unit 40 may be designed to be coupled to the head 20. Thus, the external unit 40 may be moved simultaneously when the pump is operated.

According to the high viscosity fluid refillable pump dispenser of the present application, when the head is operated, the head is prevented from being interfered with by the rib portion of the external unit due to the opened door portion. Therefore, the head can be smoothly operated, thereby easily discharging the contents stored in the housing.

In addition, according to the present application, the rib portion and the guide groove are designed to be easily fitted to each other in the outer unit and the guide unit. Therefore, when the contents stored in the housing are used up, the housing can be easily replaced with a new one.

Furthermore, according to the present application, the external unit is designed to be coupled to the head. Thus, the external unit may be moved simultaneously when operating the pump.

While the embodiments have been provided for the purpose of illustrating the present application in conjunction with the drawings, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the embodiments are given by way of illustration only, and that various modifications and equivalent embodiments can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the application.
