Benefits of technology

The present invention is a two-piece mechanical design of a ball-housing that reduces leak performance. The design provides a tight seal and easy assembly of the ball within the housing. A donut-shaped protrusion is also provided to ensure complete seating of the ball on the seat at the bottom of the ball-housing, shutting off liquid flow into the ball-housing from the bottle. Overall, the invention eliminates undesired leaks and improves the efficiency of the ball-housing.

Problems solved by technology

The exaggerated bead on the bottle will “catch” the tamper evident band, causing it to break away from the rest of the closure.
However, such tamper evident bands are not available for roll-on applicators today.
For example, in a beauty parlor, or a high-end service center where the display of tampered bottles of expensive ingredients may create a negative response for a customer, or generate unavoidable questions about the aged nature of the contents.

Embodiment Construction

[0031]The following description supplies specific details with a view to provide a thorough understanding. A skilled artisan would understand that the apparatus design can be implemented without using these specific details. The apparatus can be practiced by modifying the illustrated apparatus and can be used conjunctively with other apparatus conventionally used in the industry. For example, the description below focuses on a two piece roller ball housing, one can use more than two piece housing that can provide additional flexibility in movement of the ball.

[0032]Improvement in Roller Ball Housing

[0033]FIG. 1 illustrates the inventive two piece construction of the roller ball housing 1. The roller ball housing 1 is made up of two parts—a ball receptacle 2 and a ball retainer 3. The ball receptacle 2 is typically fitted into the mouth of a liquid container bottle 41 at its distal end. There are four protrusions 9 on the outer surface of distal end of the ball receptacle 2 which all...

Abstract

Several improvements on roller ball applicators on glass bottles have been described. A unique mechanical design of the roller ball housing to obtain minimal leak of the bottle ingredients is described. Also described is a hidden tamper evident band.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent 62 / 593,412 filed on Dec. 1, 2017 which is incorporated by reference herein.BACKGROUNDField of Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a roller ball applicator dispenser device, and more particularly, relates to two aspects of the dispenser device.[0003]In a first aspect, it relates to an improvement in the mechanical design of the roller ball housing of the applicator and in a second aspect provides a novel tamper evident band system in-built in the cap of the roll-on the applicator.Description of Related Arts[0004]Improvement in Roller Ball Housing[0005]Roller ball applicators have been used in many applications in the art to dispense water-like to viscous liquids from small bottles.[0006]The manner of application is to manually invert the roller ball applicator with its bottle and apply the liquid in the bottle with a rolling motion of the ball on a substrate. The l...
