Problems solved by technology

However, when replacing the spout with a valve in certain types of "top up" bottles that are typically sold with a spout (such as most laundry products), the difference may not be easily noticed by the user
The user may even think the bottle is defective, as the valve has an invisible opening

Embodiment Construction

[0015] 1. Top-up container assembly

[0016] In a first embodiment, the invention relates to a top-up container assembly (1) comprising a container (20) and a dispensing cap (30). By "top-up" is meant that the container assembly has top and bottom surfaces. When the container assembly is placed on a horizontal plane, at least a portion of the bottom surface is in contact with that horizontal plane. The top surface of the container assembly is located away from the bottom surface and does not touch the horizontal plane when the container assembly is placed on that horizontal surface.

[0017] The container (20) of the present invention may be a bottle or a stand-up pouch. Where the container is a bottle, it is preferably a squeeze bottle with flexible walls. The container has a bottom surface (22) and a top surface (21) located remote from said bottom surface (22), and an opening (23) on said top surface (21). At least a portion of said bottom surface (22) is in contact wit...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a top-up container assembly (1) comprising a bottle (20) having a bottom surface (22), and a top surface (21) having an opening located away from said bottom surface (22); and a dispensing cap (30) attached to said top surface (21) of said bottle (20), said dispensing cap (30) comprising a housing (31) and a valve (32), wherein at least a portion of said housing (31) is transparent and / or translucent, and wherein said valve (32) is visually distinctive from said housing (31), to enable a user of said top-up container assembly (1) to see the valve (32) through the housing (31). The present invention also relates to the use of a dispensing cap (30) for dispensing a dishwashing cleaning composition, to a dishwashing cleaning product, and to a method of cleaning dishware.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to a top-up container assembly including a dispensing cap with a valve, and a dishwashing cleaning product including the top-up container assembly. Background of the invention [0002] Plastic bottles comprising spouts for dispensing liquid or viscous compositions are well known in the art, especially in the field of dishwashing cleaning products. These bottles are typically so-called "top-up" bottles. To dispense the composition, the user typically needs to uncap the bottle to expose the spout, and then dispense the composition by squeezing the bottle. One problem with the use of a spout is that, due to the opening of the spout, the product can flow out when the bottle is inverted, even if the bottle is not squeezed. Another problem is that it is difficult to control the amount of product dispensed from the bottle. Another problem is that it is prone to mess. Bottles with spouts are prone to spilling product around...
