  • the bottle may contain a cleaning formulation.
  • a mono block metal alloy mould is prepared comprising a central protuberance and a plurality of protuberances arranged in one or more rings, distanced from and concentric with the central protuberance, the central protuberance and plurality of protuberances having an average diameter ranging from approximately 0.3 mm to approximately 0.5 mm.
  • the dispensing cap is injection moulded using the mono-block metal alloy mould.
  • the disclosed methods may include one or more of the following aspects:
  • each plurality of protuberances being angled away from vertical
  • Figure 1 shows a perspective view of one embodiment of the disclosed dispensing cap 1 with a lid 5, and
  • Figure 2 shows a perspective view of one embodiment of the mould 20 used to produce the dispensing cap 1 of Figure 1. Description of Preferred Embodiments
  • a dispensing cap comprising a central nozzle and a plurality of other nozzles arranged in one or more rings, distanced from and concentric with the central nozzle.
  • the central nozzle dispenses in vertical angle.
  • each ring is angled away from the vertical.
  • Each successive ring is preferably angled more from the vertical.
  • the angle of the nozzles of each ring may define an angle from the vertical.
  • the dispense angle of the or each ring can be varied and hence change the cone as required.
  • the dispensing cap has two concentric rings.
  • Each ring may have up to 10 nozzles.
  • Nozzle sizes vary, having an average diameter between approximately 0.35 to approximately 0.4mm, primarily due to angled tips/ processing /shrinkage. As the diameter of the nozzle may increase from its top to bottom, the average diameter of the nozzle is used for reference herein and is an average of the inner and outer diameters of the nozzle. As used herein, any and all ranges are inclusive of their endpoints. As used herein, the terms “about” or “approximately” mean ⁇ 10%.
  • central nozzle and inner ring have an average diameter of about 0.3 to about 0.35mm.
  • the outer ring (where present) has nozzle size of about 0.4mm.
  • the overall cap diameter (in the area containing the nozzles) may range from approximately 13 mm to approximately 20 mm, and is preferably about 15mm.
  • the nozzle section is raised relative to the remainder of the cap.
  • the cap comprises a plastics material, such as polyethylene or the homopolymer, random copolymer, or block copolymer of polypropylene or combinations thereof. More preferably, the cap comprises the homopolymer, random copolymer, or block copolymer of polypropylene.
  • the cap is used for a bottle, wherein the bottle generally contains a cleaning formulation.
  • the cap preferably includes a section suitable for attachment to a bottle; e.g. such as screw threads suitable for engaging complementary threads on a bottle.
  • the cap has a lid (such as a hinged lid).
  • the lid is preferably designed to shut off all nozzles, when in a closed position.
  • the bottle is preferably employed for cleaning vertical surfaces such as bathrooms, lavatories, showers as well as mopping floors & other horizontal surfaces.
  • Figure 1 shows a perspective view of one embodiment of the disclosed dispensing cap 1 with a lid 5.
  • the dispensing cap 1 comprises a central nozzle 2 and a plurality of other nozzles arranged in two rings 3 and 4, distanced from and concentric with the central nozzles 2.
  • the nozzles of the rings 3 and 4 are successively angled away from the vertical.
  • the dispensing cap 1 includes a landing 7 having a width w.
  • Width w may range from approximately 10 mm to approximately 20 mm. In Figure 1, width w is approximately 15 mm. As shown in Figure 1, landing 7 includes 20 nozzles; 1 central nozzle 2, 7 nozzles in ring 3, and 12 nozzles in ring 4.
  • width w of landing 7 may vary and permit fewer or more nozzles without departing from the teachings herein.
  • the dispensing cap 1 has an associated lid 5 which connects to the dispensing cap 1 via a hinge 6. Locking mechanism 11a and lib permit the lid to remain securely closed.
  • dispensing cap 1 includes 4 steps 10 that raises the landing 7 and nozzles relative to the remainder of the cap 1.
  • steps 10 that raises the landing 7 and nozzles relative to the remainder of the cap 1.
  • the dispensing cap 1 may be designed with more or fewer steps 10 without departing from the teachings herein.
  • Dispensing cap further includes a skirt 8 and edge 9. Skirt 8 and edge 9 permit the dispensing cap 1 to connect with a bottle (not shown).
  • a cleaning method for a vertical hard surface comprising the discharge of a cleaning formulation from a container which includes a dispensing cap according to a first aspect of the invention.
  • a principle advantage is that the discharge of the cleaning composition has been found to be highly focussed onto the surface being cleaned: very little of the cleaning composition fails to reach or is cast off from the surface being cleaned.
  • a third aspect of the invention there is provided a method of forming a dispensing cap according to the first aspect of the invention wherein the forming process includes a mono-block design.
  • Figure 2 shows a perspective view of one embodiment of the mould 20 used to produce the dispensing cap 1 of Figure 1.
  • the mould 20 includes a vertical protuberance 2a used to produce the central nozzle 2 of dispensing cap 1.
  • the mould 20 includes a ring of 7 angled protuberances 3a used to produce the nozzles of ring 3 of dispensing cap 1.
  • the mould 20 includes a ring of 13 angled protuberances 4a used to produce the nozzles of ring 4 of dispensing cap 1.
  • the mould 20 may include fewer or more nozzles without departing from the teachings herein.
  • mould 20 of Figure 2 is provided for exemplary purposes only and does not exactly match the dispensing cap 1 of Figure 1 because it produces less steps 10.
  • the mould 20 may be produced from a metal alloy block using a CNC machine (Computer Numerical Control).
  • the dispensing cap 1 may be produced by injection moulding using the mono-block metal alloy mould 20. Once the plastic cools, the dispensing cap 1 is removed from the mould 2.
  • process efficiancy increases when multiple moulds 20 are used simultaneously. For example, some injection moulding processes may use 9 moulds 20 while others may use 26.
  • the use of the mono-block mould 20 design has been found to solve the prior art issues.
  • the mono-block of steel can be easily maintained /replaced when required.
  • the mould 20 permits manufacture of a 1-piece dispensing cap 1 having a landing with a diameter ranging from approximately 13 nm to approximately 20 nm and multiple nozzles having an average diameter ranging from approximately 0.3 mm to approximately 0.5 mm.
  • the use of the mono-block design has been found to be advantageous.
  • a principle advantage is that the dispensing caps can be formed quickly and in large numbers without the risk of frequent pin breakage / moulding down times and the need for frequent maintenance too. This reduces the overall cost of the cap.
  • this method does not include pins, which have been commonly used in prior art moulds to form the nozzles in such dispensing caps. Due to the size of the nozzles in the dispensing caps, these pins (although generally formed of metal) are fragile and frequently break / need replacing. The mono-block forming process solves this issue.
