Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to the use of means, such as dispenser devices, for coating or treatment of surfaces or objects with potentially hazardous products, such as liquid nano technology coating products or vinyl make-up products. More specifically the invention relates to methods for applying such product on surfaces, for instance on windscreens or other window portions of an automobile, on tiles in bathrooms or kitchens or on any other surfaces where such coatings may be used as well as methods for applying vinyl make-up on surfaces of components, such as dashboards etc. in automobiles. The invention furthermore relates to dispensing devises for such coating or application.
  • Nano particle coating material used for coating of windscreens, tiles etc. is traditionally applied by spraying directly on the windscreen, tile or other surface and subsequent polishing with a suitable piece of fabric.
  • such material can be applied to a suitable piece of fabric at the manufacturer and enclosed in a hermetically sealing package, for instance of metal coated foil to maintain the fluid intact. Prior to the use the package is broken and the fabric is used for applying the fluid to the surface in question.
  • vinyl make-up for cleansing and coating various surfaces for instance in an automobile is typically sprayed on the surface to be treated.
  • the present invention relates generally to the use of dispensing means for application of products that are potentially hazardous to human beings or that may cause problems for the environment on surfaces, objects etc. that are to be treated or coated with such products. More specifically, the present invention relates to the use of dispensing means for applying nano technology coating products or vinyl make-up on surfaces, objects etc. to be treated/coated with such products.
  • use of said dispensing means reduces the potential risks to persons or generally to the environment caused by for instance spraying such products onto surfaces or objects, or caused by using a fabric provided with said product to apply said product to a surface or object.
  • Applying such products by spraying is hazardous due to the risk of minute particles being transported through the human air passages to the lungs or due to the risk of such particles unintentionally coming in contact with for instance skin portions of the body. At least the latter may also - and even to a larger extend - result from the application of such products using a fabric moistened with the product.
  • the present invention is not limited to the treatment of surfaces or components in automobiles, bathrooms and kitchens, but that the use, method and devices according to the invention may be used for any surface that may be treated with the mentioned materials and indeed with any material that may pose health problems for persons applying such materials or problems for the environment.
  • the present invention relates to a coating or application method for potentially hazardous or environmentally harmful liquid products comprising the steps of: providing a container for containing said liquid product; providing an absorbing body that can absorb said liquid product; providing fluid communication between said container and said absorbing body, whereby an amount of said liquid product can flow from said container to said absorbing body;
  • Specifically said potentially hazardous or environmentally harmful liquid products comprise a nano technology coating product or a vinyl make-up product.
  • the present invention relates to a dispensing device for applying said potentially hazardous or environmentally harmful liquid products, such as a nano technology coating for instance on a windscreen or other window portions of an automobile and/or for applying vinyl make-up on portions of for instance an automobile, the device comprising a container for containing said liquid product, such as a liquid nano technology coating product or vinyl make-up and an absorbing body, where the device furthermore comprises a fluid passage allowing said liquid product, such as a nano technology coating product or vinyl make-up to flow from said container to said absorbing body, when the dispensing device is being used or is about to be used.
  • said liquid product such as a nano technology coating product or vinyl make-up
  • said container is formed as a handle portion of the dispensing device, by which the dispensing device is held by the user during application of material, such as nano technology coating material or vinyl make-up to surfaces etc. that are to be treated or coated herewith.
  • the handle can either be made of a rigid material or can be made at least partially compressible, whereby the liquid material in the hollow interior of the handle portion can be forced out of the handle portion and into the absorbing body.
  • the absorbing body now at least partly filled with the material to be applied, is brought into contact with the surfaces to be treated or coated with the material, and the absorbing body is moved over these surfaces, preferably during application of a slight pressure on the absorbing body, whereby the liquid material is squeezed out of the absorbing body and unto the surface that is in contact with the absorbing body.
  • fluid communication from the container or handle portion to the absorbing body is controlled by appropriate valve means that can be activated when pressure is applied to the absorbing body.
  • valve means that can be activated when pressure is applied to the absorbing body.
  • a specific example of such valve means is given in the detailed description of the invention, but the invention is not limited to the application of the shown valve means or for that matter to the presence of valve means at all for controlling fluid flow from the container/handle to the absorbing body.
  • the method according to the invention is carried out using an integrated unit comprising said container and said absorbing body, such that said fluid communication is only provided when said material, such as liquid nano technology coating product or vinyl make-up is applied on, or to be applied on, said surface portions.
  • said material such as liquid nano technology coating product or vinyl make-up is applied on, or to be applied on, said surface portions.
  • said fluid communication is established by activation of valve means provided in a fluid passage leading from said container to said absorbing body.
  • liquid nano technology coating product or vinyl make-up can be forced from said container to said absorbing body by applying a pressure on the container.
  • the container could be made at least partially compressible, although forcing the product out of the container could also be effected by other means.
  • the container can be formed as a handle upon which the absorbing body is provided and said pressure can be applied by the hand of the person applying said liquid nano technology coating product or vinyl make-up to the chosen surface portions.
  • the dispensing device and method according to the present invention may also beneficially be applied in connection with other products than the nano technology coating and vinyl make-up products described in this specification.
  • a dispensing device and method according to the invention the potentially hazardous spray application of such materials is avoided. Furthermore, these materials are largely prevented from coming in contact with the hands and other external as well as internal parts of the user.
  • the dispensing device according to the invention may according to one alternative be pre-filled at the manufacturer with the liquid product, such as a nano technology coating product or vinyl make-up and afterwards closed without the user being able to open the container and re-fill the particular material. After emptying the container the dispensing device is then discarded and a new purchased.
  • the dispensing device can comprise a separate container portion and a separate dispenser portion that can be releasably attached to each other, whereby the container, when empty, can be refilled with the particular material.

  • Figure 5(a) and (b) show a third embodiment of a dispensing device according to the invention.
  • FIG 1 there is thus shown a schematic, cross sectional view of a first embodiment of a dispensing device according to the invention.
  • the device generally designated by reference numeral 1 , comprises a hollow handle portion 2 with an inner volume 3 for containing the nano particle material or vinyl make-up to be applied to a surface.
  • the handle portion is terminated by the dispenser, which basically comprises support member 9, which in the shown embodiment is formed as a substantially planar disc, although other shapes would be possible.
  • the support member is provided with a tubular portion 8 formed for releasable and sealing insertion into a corresponding tubular portion 7 provided at the upper end region of the handle portion.
  • a valve means purely schematically indicated at reference numeral 10 in figure 1 , can be activated by means of a rod 11 , extending from the valve means and a certain distance into the absorbing body 12.
  • the rod 11 may only extend partly through the absorbing body 12, although it may also extend totally through the absorbing body 12, with a distal end (i.e. opposite the valve means) being substantially flush with the upper surface 21 of the absorbing body 12.
  • valve means When the valve means is activated a fluid passage is provided between the volume 3 in the hollow handle portion 2, through the tubular portion 8 and the valve means and into the absorbing body 12, which can hence absorb a liquid product present in the hollow interior of the handle portion.
  • a pressure is applied on the upper surface 21 of the absorbing member 12 (towards the support member 9) the valve means opens and provides fluid communication between the internal volume 3 of the handle portion 2 and the absorbing body 12.
  • the handle portion can either be made of a rigid material or it can alternatively be made of a suitable flexible material, whereby the handle portion may be at least to some extend compressible, whereby fluid in the interior volume may be pressed out of the interior volume of the handle portion, provided the valve is open.
  • the dispensing device can be provided with a protective cap 13, protecting the absorbing body 12.
