Embodiment Construction

[0041] overview.

[0042] figure 1 A personal preparing device 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention is shown in . The personal formulating device 10 is capable of producing customized formulas from a variety of ingredients. Device 10 generally includes a housing 12 , a plurality of pump assemblies 14a - d , a plurality of cartridges 16a - d , and a dispensing head 18 . In this embodiment, there is a separate pump assembly 14a-d for each cartridge 16a-d. This allows the contents of each cartridge 16a-d to be individually metered and dispensed by a dedicated pump assembly 14a-d. In this embodiment, each pump assembly 14a-d includes a progressive pump. Each progressive pump 14a - d may include a pump housing 30 housing a stator 32 and a rotor 34 . The stator 32 may include an integral flange seal 36 that positions the stator 32 within the pump housing 30 and seals the interface between adjacent portions of the pump housing 30 . The rotor 34 may include a ...

Abstract

A personal formulation device for mixing and dispensing customized formulations from ingredient reservoirs carried by the device. The device may include a plurality of miniaturized progressive pumps with a flexible coupling between the motor and the pump. The coupling may include a spring (40). The device may include a spacer sleeve (62) having an internal diameter tapered to closely follow the motion envelope of the spring (40). Each pump may include a retainer (60) that is threaded into the interior of the pump body (52) to retain the spacer sleeve (62) and the drive end (120) of the rotor (34). Each pump may include a stator with an integrated flange seal (36). The flange seal (36) may extend around the circumference of the stator and be sandwiched between portions of the pump body (52). The stator may have a noncircular shape that keys the stator within the pump body. The pump may include an optical metering system.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to formulation devices, and more particularly, to a portable formulation device capable of mixing and dispensing custom formulations from a number of different ingredients. Background technique [0002] There are a variety of devices on the market that are capable of producing custom blend formulations from various individual ingredients. For example, some hardware and home stores have custom paint mixing systems capable of producing custom paint products. As another example, some stores offering cosmetics have systems capable of producing custom blended cosmetics for customers. In some cases, the system includes an automated system for formulating the appropriate cosmetics. Automated systems of this nature for cosmetic formulation typically include an imaging system for capturing an image of the customer and a computer programmed to analyze the image and extract information from the image based on factors such as skin c...
