Multi-Phase Liquid Dispensing via Rotating Nozzle
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing personal cleansing products that combine cleansing and conditioning phases often fail to achieve consistent and uniform performance due to uneven dispensing of different phases from routine packaging, which is a challenge in providing a convenient, cost-effective, and aesthetically pleasing two-in-one product.
Innovation Solution
A composition and process for creating multiple liquid phase personal cleansing products where the phases are blended and dispensed in a consistent ratio, using a method that involves transferring predetermined amounts of liquid compositions to a combiner, blending them, and then transferring the blended product through a dispensing means to a container, ensuring visually distinct phases are evenly distributed and stable during use.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If dual-chamber packaging is used to separate cleansing and conditioning products, then product stability during storage is improved, but dispensing uniformity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The composition is segmented into multiple liquid phases that are visually distinctive and remain physically separate during storage. Each phase maintains its integrity within the single chamber packaging, allowing stable storage while enabling controlled dispensing of consistent doses of each phase
Solution Approach 2:
The invention transitions from spatial separation (dual-chamber packaging) to phase separation within a single chamber. Multiple liquid phases coexist in the same container space, using density and immiscibility differences to maintain separation during storage while allowing uniform dispensing
2Adaptability or versatility
If dual-chamber packaging is used, then simultaneous cleansing and conditioning is achieved, but packaging cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The invention merges multiple liquid phases into a single chamber packaging system. The composition contains multiple immiscible liquid phases (such as an aqueous phase and an oil phase) that remain separate during storage but can be simultaneously dispensed, eliminating the need for complex dual-chamber packaging while maintaining two-in-one functionality
Solution Approach 2:
The single chamber packaging system serves multiple functions: it stores multiple distinct liquid phases, maintains their separation during storage, and enables simultaneous dispensing of all phases. This universal packaging approach replaces complex specialized packaging systems
3Ease of operation
If multiple liquid phases are combined in routine packaging, then dispensing convenience is improved, but phase distribution uniformity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The invention creates local quality differences between phases through visual distinctiveness (color, transparency, or other visual properties). This allows consumers to easily observe and verify the presence and distribution of each phase during dispensing, ensuring uniform phase distribution while maintaining ease of use
Solution Approach 2:
The composition employs visually distinctive phases that differ in color, transparency, or other visual properties. This visual differentiation allows for easy observation of phase distribution during dispensing, ensuring uniform dosing of each phase while maintaining dispensing convenience

AI summary
A process for making multi-phase liquid compositions is disclosed. For example, a plurality of liquid phases can be placed in separate vessels equipped with supply lines. Predetermined amounts of each of the liquid phase can be transferred, via the supply lines, into a combiner that aligns each of the liquid phases. The liquid phases can be transferred from the combiner to a blender. A mixing element of the blender can blend the liquid phases together to produce a multi-phase liquid composition having a visually distinct pattern formed by the liquid phases. The multi-phase liquid phase composition can be transferred to an individual product container via a delivery nozzle. When said multi-phase liquid composition is transferred to said individual product container via said delivery nozzle, the individual product container can be rotated, via a rotating platform of a bottle holding device.
