Abstract

A dosing bottle is made by injection molding a synthetic resin preform with a threaded neck finish portion and a body portion. The neck finish has an internal collar adjacent said lower end thereof. The preform is removed from the injection mold and inserted into the mold of a blow molding machine. The mold has a cavity with a body portion conforming to the desired configuration and dimensions for the body of the bottle and a neck portion closely conforming to the configuration and dimensioning of the neck portion of the preform. The preform is heated and inserted into the blow mold cavity with the neck finish portion of the preform being sealed from the body portion of the cavity. Air is introduced into the body portion of the preform to blow the body portion of the preform into conformity with the body cavity while precluding any distortion of the collar and of the neck finish.

Description

DOSING BOTTLE AND METHOD
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to dosing bottles for dispensing metered amounts of liquids stored therein.
Synthetic resin bottles are widely employed for storing various types of liquid.
Such a bottle may include a fitment which will function to deliver a metered amount of the contents, and such bottles are frequently referred to as dosing bottles.
Generally, such bottles involve a fitment which seals the neck finish of the bottle.
To ensure delivery of the proper volume of liquid, it is important that the fitment be precisely positioned in the neck finish. To provide greater control of the dimensioning, the preforms are injection molded with a controlled neck finish portion, and the fitment must be positioned within the neck finish to control volume.
When the preform is inserted into the stretch blow mold, air is introduced under pressure to cause the side walls to blow outwardly. The blowing pressure can produce distortion of the injection molded neck finish, and any distortion will produce some variation in the amount of liquid which is intended to be dispensed in metered doses.

Moreover, some prior art dosing bottles employ fairly complicated structures to seat the fitment.
Accordingly, it is the object of the present invention to provide a method for making a dosing bottle wherein the neck finish of the bottle is closely controlled and protected against deformation.
It is also an object to provide such a method which is adaptable to different dosing volumes.
Another object is to provide a novel dosing bottle wherein the fitment can be securely positioned by friction and the volume of the doses is repeatable.
A preform can be molded to very close high tolerances, particularly with respect to the neck finish portion. By the process of the present invention, the preform is placed in the blow mold and the neck finish is sealed about its periphery so that the pressurized air does not effect any distortion of the neck finish.
The volume to be dispensed can be varied by the selection of fitments of various dimensions. The fitment firmly seats on an internal shoulder of the neck finish and the fitment is pushed downwardly so that its periphery frictionally engages in the neck finish.
The process of assembly is thus fairly simple and reliable as to placement of the next finish and the volume thereabove.
Thus, it can be seen that the method of the present invention is one which can be practiced readily and reliably to produce a dosing bottle in which the fitment is securely
2 positioned within the neck finish, thus, ensuring the delivery of the desired volume of liquid in each dose.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It has now been found that the foregoing and related objects may be readily attained in a dosing bottle by injection molding a synthetic resin preform having a threaded neck finish portion and a body portion, the neck finish having an internal collar providing a peripheral shoulder adjacent the lower end thereof, and the preform is removed from the injection mold. A blow molding machine is provided with a blow mold having a cavity with a body portion conforming to the desired configuration and dimensions for the body of the bottle and a neck portion closely conforming to the configuration and dimensioning of the neck poi don of the preform. The preform is heated and inserted into the blow mold cavity. Air is introduced into the body portion of the preform to blow the body portion of the preform into conformity with the body cavity while precluding any distortion of the collar and of the neck finish.
Desirably, the blow mold includes separate elements seated in the mold cavity and abutting the neck finish to enable the preform internal collar and neck finish to remain free from any alteration during the blowing step. The mold around the preform neck finish extracts heat from the neck finish of the preform. There is included a step of inserting a fitment into the neck finish to firmly seat on the internal shoulder in the
3 neck finish of the blown bottle, and the preferred fitment is a cup-shaped dosing fitment with a peripheral flange firmly seating on the shoulder.
Desirably, the fitment has bosses on its exterior surface which are compressed upon its insertion into the bottle to enhance the frictional engagement. The resultant dosing bottle comprises a container having a body portion with a sidewall, a bottom wall, an elongated neck finish with at least one external collar adjacent the lower end thereof, and a shoulder portion extending between the sidewall and the neck finish; the neck finish having an internal collar providing a shoulder adjacent the lower end thereof. A generally cup-shaped dosing fitment has a flange which is seated on the shoulder and friction fit into and sealing the lower portion of the neck finish from the body portion. A tube is seated in the dosing fitment and extends upwardly of the dosing member, and the wall of the tube having an aperture therein above the dosing member. The bottle includes a cup-shaped closure engaged on the neck finish of the blown bottle.
Preferably, the fitment has bosses on its periphery which are compressed upon insertion into the bottle to increase the frictional engagement.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Turning first to Figure 1, therein illustrated is a dosing bottle embodying the present invention and comprised of the bottle generally designated by the numeral 10, the cap generally designated by the numeral 12, and the dosing fitment generally designated by the numeral 14. The bottle 10 has a base wall 16, a body 18, a neck finish 20 and a shoulder portion 22 extending upwardly from the peripheral wall of the body 18 to the neck finish 20.
The cap 12 has internal threads 24 which engage the external threads 26 on the neck finish 20 and there are two outwardly extending collars 28 on the peripheral surface of the neck finish 20.
As best seen in Figure 4, the neck finish 20 includes an internal collar 30 adjacent the lower end thereof which provides an upwardly disposed horizontal shoulder 32.
The fitment 14 is cup-shaped with a peripheral wall 36 having a collar 38 thereabout. A feed tube 40 is integrally molded and extends upwardly above the fitment 14. Diametrically opposed apertures in the tube 40 allow excess fluid to flow therethrough and back into the body of liquid in the bottle. On the exterior of the peripheral wall 36 are small bosses 44 when placed in the bottle.

When the fitment 14 is inserted into the bottle 10 and pushed downwardly, the collar 38 seats on the shoulder 32 and the bosses 44 are compressed to provide frictional engagement of the fitment 14.
In use, the bottle 10 is filled with the liquid to be dispensed.
Turning now to Figure 5, a mating pair of molds generally designated by the numeral 50 have a main cavity 52 and a neck finish cavity 54. Separate elements shown as inserts 56 seat the neck finish cavity 54 so that, when air is introduced to blow the body portion of the preform into conformity with the inner surface of the bottle 10, the neck finish is not distorted.
Outwardly extending collars, shown as external collars 28 on the neck finish of the preform seat in a preform transfer unit and the lower collar seats on the mold 50 to position the preform 34.
