System for dosed dispensing of a fluid and method of manufacturing
The invention relates to a system ( 1 ) for dosed dispensing of a fluid, comprising a contain ( 2 ) for the fluid and a dispensing device connected therewith, wherein the container comprises a form-retaining outer container ( 5 ) and a flexible inner container ( 4 ) connected therewith, wherein a space to be brought into fluid communication with the ambient atmosphere can be developed between the inner and outer containers ( 5, 4 ), and wherein the dispensing device includes a housing and/or frame of which at least a part is integrally formed with the container. The invention further relates to a method of manufacturing a system for dosed dispensing of a fluid.
1. A system for dosed dispensing of a fluid, comprising a container for the fluid and a dispensing device connected therewith, wherein the container comprises a form-retaining outer container and a flexible inner container connected therewith, wherein a space to be brought into fluid communication with the ambient atmosphere can be developed between the inner and outer containers, and wherein the dispensing device comprises a shroud which is integrally formed with the inner container and a moveable part comprising a biasing member integrally formed with the outer container.
2. The fluid dispensing system according to claim 1 , wherein the inner and outer container are mutually connected at or near a neck of the container, and at least one of the inner or outer containers extends beyond the neck to form the integrated shroud of the dispensing device.
3. The fluid dispensing system according claim 1 , wherein a non-integrated part of the dispensing device is mechanically fastened to the shroud which is integrally formed with the container.
4. The fluid dispensing system according to claim 1 , wherein the outer container comprises PET and the inner container comprises a polyolefin, in particular PE or PP.
5. The fluid dispensing system according to claim 1 , wherein the container is formed by:
injection moulding followed by blow moulding; or
co-extrusion followed by blow moulding.
