Universal rollerball assembly for use with essential oils

Abstract

A rollerball assembly configured to fit on typical bottle thread, having a secure easy-fit cap and manufactured using materials which resist chemical compounds found in many essential oils.

1 . A rollerball assembly comprising,
 a base fitment configured to be threaded onto a bottle,
 the base fitment having,
 a rollerball socket,
 a ball fitted into the rollerball socket, 
 
 at least two guide ramps formed as part of a helix on an outside surface of the base fitment,
 the at least two guide ramps terminating in a capture area, 
 
 
   a cap,
 the cap having,
 at least two locking pins, 
 a compression gasket fitted inside of the cap, 
 
 the cap configured to be fitted over the base fitment,
 the at least two locking pins configured to move down the at least two guide ramps and into the capture area, 
 the compression gasket sealing the rollerball socket, and, 
 the compression gasket biasing the locking pins into capture area. 
 
   
     
     
         2 . The rollerball assembly of  claim 1  wherein the base fitment comprises a material resistant to D-limonene and L-limonene. 
     
     
         3 . The rollerball assembly of  claim 2  wherein the resistant material is one of Delrin® acetal M590, Delrin® acetal M90, and Delrin® 900. 
     
     
         4 . The rollerball assembly of  claim 2  wherein the resistant material is nylon 66 containing thirty percent fiberglass. 
     
     
         5 . The rollerball assembly of  claim 2  wherein the resistant material is a fluorinated plastic. 
     
     
         6 . The rollerball assembly of  claim 2  wherein the resistant material is one of a fiberglass filled copolymer and a fiberglass filed monopolymer. 
     
     
         7 . The rollerball assembly of  claim 1  wherein the compression gasket comprises a material resistant to D-limonene and L-limonene. 
     
     
         8 . The rollerball assembly of  claim 7  wherein the resistant material is one of Viton®, Teflon® and fluorosilicone. 
     
     
         9 . An assembly for distribution of essential oil comprising,
 an distribution mechanism,
 the distribution mechanism configured to attach to a bottle neck, 
   a cap configured to fixedly attach over the distribution mechanism, and,
 the cap including a seal assembly. 
   
     
     
         10 . The assembly of  claim 9  wherein the distribution mechanism is a rollerball assembly comprising a material resistant to D-limonene and L-limonene. 
     
     
         11 . The rollerball assembly of  claim 10  wherein the resistant material is one of Delrin® acetal M590, Delrin® acetal M90, and Delrin® 900. 
     
     
         12 . The rollerball assembly of  claim 10  wherein the resistant material is nylon 66 containing thirty percent fiberglass. 
     
     
         13 . The rollerball assembly of  claim 10  wherein the resistant material is a fluorinated plastic. 
     
     
         14 . The rollerball assembly of  claim 10  wherein the resistant material is one of a fiberglass filled copolymer and a fiberglass filed monopolymer. 
     
     
         15 . The assembly of  claim 9  wherein the distribution mechanism is a plug having a reducing orifice,
 the plug comprising a material resistant to D-limonene and L-limonene. 
 
     
     
         16 . The assembly of  claim 9  wherein the seal assembly comprises a material resistant to D-limonene and L-limonene. 
     
     
         17 . The assembly of  claim 16  wherein the resistant material is one of Viton®, Teflon® and fluorosilicone.
