Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a device, for example a sampler packet, for delivering a composition, such as a cleansing cosmetic composition, in foam form.
  • Foamed cosmetic compositions can be generated by either propellant or mechanical driven pump mechanisms.
  • Mechanical pumps such as described in U.S. Patent 5,364,031 (Taniguchi et al.) force a cosmetic liquid composition through a pair of meshed screens. The screens entrap a predetermined amount of air within the cosmetic composition transforming the liquid into a foam. It would be highly desirable to obtain the same effect at lower costs. Pump mechanisms are normally expensive, prohibitively so when applied to small sampler packaging.
  • a composition such as a cleansing cosmetic composition
  • a mechanical pump it is an object of the present invention to provide a packet from which a composition, such as a cleansing cosmetic composition, can be delivered in foam form without the use of a mechanical pump.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a trial size packet from which a liquid product can be converted to a deep foaming liquid upon exit from the packet.
  • the present invention provides a foam-dispensing packet which comprises: a sealed pouch having at least one flexible wall, the pouch comprising an interior chamber and a channel communicating with the chamber for dispensing foam when the pouch is opened, a sponge disposed within the chamber, and a foamable fluid within the chamber, wherein the foamable fluid forms a foam when intermittent pressure is applied against the flexible wall thereby squeezing the sponge.
  • the present invention also provides a method for dispensing foam from packets.
  • This method comprises: opening a sealed pouch, wherein the pouch has at least one flexible wall, an interior chamber and a channel communicating with the interior chamber for dispensing foam therefrom, and disposed within the interior chamber a sponge and a foamable fluid; applying intermittent squeezing pressure against the at least one flexible wall; and collecting foam dispensed through the channel of the pouch.
  • Fig. 1 is a front perspective partial cross-sectional view of a packet according to the present invention.
  • Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view along line 2-2 of
  • the applicant has developed a packet for foaming liquid products which does not necessitate use of costly foaming screens or other traditional foaming mechanisms associated with dispensing containers.
  • the packets of the present invention are typically sample size.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates a sealed pouch 2 having at least one flexible wall 4 defining a major surface of the pouch.
  • An interior chamber 6 and a channel 8 are formed between walls of the pouch.
  • a sponge 10 and a foamable fluid 12 are contained within the interior chamber 6.
  • the sponge may either be open or closed cell. Closed cell sponges being preferred.
  • a sponge with reticulated structure can be employed, such sponges are available from the General Foam Corporation, Paramus, New Jersey.
  • the walls of the pouch may be formed of a flexible plastics material.
  • Suitable plastics materials include polya ide, polypropylene, polyethylene and polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate. Particularly useful are laminates of at least two different materials (foils) .
  • the laminate is a combination of a polyamide (nylon) and polyethylene.
  • a tear line 14 may be marked across a surface of an exterior wall of the pouch.
  • a scissor symbol may be printed near the tear line to instruct consumers on proper opening of the pouch.
  • a notch 16 may also be provided for assistance when opening the pouch.
  • the tear line 14 should traverse an area of the wall that defines the channel 8.
  • Fig. 2 illustrates seal 18.
  • the seal is a heat seal.
  • the seal closes one or more borders of the pouch.
  • the capacity of the pouch for foamable fluid is typically from about 15 to about 120 ml, preferably from about 30 to about 70 ml.
  • the foamable fluids used in the present invention generally contain a surfactant.
  • Suitable surfactants may be selected from anionic, nonionic, cationic, amphoteric and mixtures thereof.
  • Typical anionic surfactants are alkali metal salts of lauryl sulphate, lauryl ether sulphate, acyl isethionate, alkyl glyceryl ether sulphonate, alkyl sarcosinate and alkyl benzene sulphonate and mixtures of these.
  • Typical nonionic surfactants are C 12 -C 20 fatty alcohol and fatty acid alkoxylates, alkyl polyglycosides, methylglucamides and combinations of these.
  • Suitable cationic surfactants include cetrimonium chloride.
  • Suitable amphoteric surfactants include cocoamidopropylbetaine and cocolaurylamphoacetate and mixtures thereof.
  • the amount of surfactant is typically from about 0.5 to about 60%, more preferably from about 1 to about 20% by weight of the composition.
  • conditioning agents may be useful. These agents include volatile and nonvolatile silicones such as dimethicone and
  • Polymer JR natural oils and esters including petrolatum, sunflower seed oil, maleated soybean oil and isopropyl myristate.
  • the conditioning agents are typically present in an amount of from about 0.01 to about 20% by weight of the composition.
  • Humectants for moisturization may also be included. These are represented by polyols such as glycerin, polyethyleneglycol, polypropyleneglycol, butyleneglycol, propyleneglycol, sorbitan and mixtures thereof.
  • the humectants are typically present in an amount of from about 0.1 to about 50% by weight of the composition.
  • Solvents may also be present in the fluid compositions of this invention. Suitable solvents include water and monohydric Ci-C ⁇ alcohols. The amounts of solvent may range from about 1 to about 99%, optimally from about 40 to about 80% by weight of the composition.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un paquet de distribution de mousse muni d'un sachet scellé dont une paroi au moins est souple, ledit sachet comprenant une chambre interne et un canal servant à distribuer de la mousse depuis l'intérieur de cette chambre. Cette chambre contient une éponge et un fluide moussant. Lorsqu'on exerce une pression intermittente contre la paroi du sachet, pressant ainsi l'éponge, il se libère de la mousse du paquet ouvert.
