the invention will now be described in more detail in its preferred embodiments with reference to the drawings . the described processes may be modified in minor details without departing from the concept of the present invention . as used throughout this description , ranges are used as a shorthand for describing each and every value that is within the range . any value within the range can be selected as the terminus of the range . additionally , the terms in - line mixer and static mixer refer to the same type of mixer . this invention relates to a method and apparatus for filling into a container a multi - component composition in a diffuse pattern where the components have at least one visually discernable different characteristic . more particularly the invention relates to the filling of a transparent to translucent container with such a composition that has a diffuse pattern to produce a container and product that has a unique appearance to the exterior of the container . the present process will produce containers filled with two or more components in a diffuse pattern design . in one embodiment this has been likened to a sand art type of design resulting from the filling of containers with two or more non - newtonian structured and viscous liquids that exhibit visually distinct attributes , one from the other . the precise patterns and the intensity of the patterns are the result of the process parameters in the filling of the containers . the process parameters include the rheology of the first and the second non - newtonian structured liquids , the amount of each of the first component and of the second component , the input pressure of the first component and the second component , the dimensions of the mixing chamber , the flow rate through the mixing chamber , the dimensions of the mixing chamber exit conduit , the presence , number and orientation of static mixers , the shape of the container , and the degree and rate of oscillation of the container . there will be a varying degree of mixing of the first component and the second component from the input of each into the mixing chamber to the exit of the mixing chamber output conduit . the container is rotated at least 90 degrees in the first direction and at least 90 degrees in the second direction , preferably at least about 180 degrees in the first direction and at least about 180 degrees in the second direction . the container can be at an angle of 0 degree to about 15 degrees to an exit conduit from the mixing chamber during filling . the container support will maintain the container at the angle of 0 degree to about 15 degrees . the container also can be subject to a vibration during filling . the mixing chamber exit conduit extends within the container at the initiation of the filling of the container and is separated from the container during the filling of the container by one of the filler exit conduit being withdrawn from the container or the container being withdrawn from the filler exit conduit . the filler exit conduit , or the container , is withdrawn at a rate of about 2 mm to about 10 mm per second . in one embodiment , one or more mesh screens can be disposed at the outlet of the exit conduit . if using more than one mesh screen , the angle of one screen relative to another screen can be varied at an angle greater than 0 to less than 180 °. the mesh can be made from any material . the material should be strong enough to minimize deformation when material flows through the mesh . the openings in the mesh can be any desired size or shape . mixing elements in the mixing chamber can be part of a mixing element unit , the mixing element unit can be a static mixer having from 1 to 10 mixing elements , and preferable about 2 to 7 mixing elements . the mixing element unit has an upper first element , the upper first element having a top surface with side surfaces tapering downwardly from the top surface , the first component and the second component having a common interface , the common interface upon contact with the first upper element top surface being at an angle of 0 degrees to 90 degrees to the first upper element top surface . the common interface upon contact with the first upper element top surface preferably being at an angle of about 25 degrees to about 75 degrees to the first upper element top surface . either the first component or the second component is fed first into the mixing chamber at an angle of 0 degrees to about 90 degrees to the axis of the mixing chamber . fig1 is a layout diagram of one embodiment of the filling apparatus . in fig1 a container 15 is at an early stage of being filled with a product 30 . there are two separate components needed to produce the product 30 in the container 15 . these are a first component 10 and a second component 20 . the first component 10 and the second component 20 are visually distinct from each other . the first component 10 is fed into a flow meter 16 through a flow meter input conduit 18 . the first component exits the flow meter 16 through a flow meter exit conduit 14 to a valve 17 . the first component 10 flows from the valve 17 through a first component input conduit 12 to a mixing chamber input conduit 19 . at the same time , the second component 20 is fed into a second flow meter 26 through a second flow meter input conduit 28 . the second component 20 exits the second flow meter 26 through the second flow meter exit conduit 24 to a second valve 27 . the second component 20 flows from the second valve 27 through a second component input conduit 23 to the mixing chamber input conduit 19 and then into a mixing chamber 22 . the first component 10 and the second component 20 combine in the mixing chamber input conduit 19 and in the mixing chamber 22 . in this embodiment , the first and second component 10 , 20 undergo a more limited mixing than in a second embodiment discussed in more detail below . the mixing is more limited because the non - newtonian rheology of the components 10 , 20 in this embodiment does not require the use of in - line mixers . the now at least partially mixed first component 10 and second component 20 flow as partially mixed product 29 through a mixing chamber exit conduit 25 and exit as the product 30 into the container 15 . the container 15 is positioned on a rotatable support 13 . the container 15 is rotated in a first direction and then in a second direction while the container 15 is being filled with the product 30 . an oscillating motion is imparted to the container 15 . concurrently , the mixing chamber exit conduit 25 is raised from the container 15 as the level 33 of the product rises in the container 15 . as an alternative to raising the mixing chamber exit conduit 25 , the support 13 can be lowered . it is preferred that the exit opening 31 of the mixing chamber exit conduit 25 be maintained above the level 33 of the product 30 in container 15 during the filling of the container 15 . fig2 shows the layout diagram of fig1 with the container 30 substantially filled . all parts of the filling apparatus remain the same . the difference is that the mixing chamber exit conduit 25 has been raised within the container 15 during the filling operation to maintain the end of the exit opening 31 of the mixing chamber exit conduit 25 above the level 33 of product 30 in container 15 . the container on the rotatable support 13 can be rotated in a first direction through at least 90 degrees , and then in a second direction through at least 90 degrees . in order to get the present random pattern designs the containers are first rotated in a first direction and then in a second direction in an oscillating motion . the oscillations of a rotation in a first direction and then in a second direction are limited only by the flow rate of the first component 10 and second component 20 mixture into the container 15 to fill the container 15 . during this process the mixing chamber exit conduit end opening 31 of is maintained above fill level of the product 30 in the container 15 . this is accomplished by either raising the mixing chamber conduit 25 upward or by lowering the container support 13 . it is preferred to raise the mixing chamber exit conduit 25 . the rate of rise of the mixing chamber exit , conduit 25 and the number and speed of the oscillations of the container 15 will determine the random pattern that is formed of the first component and second component mixture 30 in the container 15 . the oscillations usually will be through about 120 degrees to about 480 degrees and will comprise about 1 oscillation to about 10 oscillations and preferably about 2 to 7 oscillations to fill a container 15 . the mixing chamber exit conduit 25 will be separated from the container 15 at a rate of about 1 . 5 mm per second to about 7 . 5 mm per second . also shown in fig1 and 2 is the flow of the first component 10 and the second component 20 into the mixing chamber input conduit 19 at different points . here the first component 10 is shown as flowing into the mixing chamber input conduit 19 above the point that the second component 20 flows into the mixing chamber input conduit 19 . however , the flows of the first component 10 and the second component 20 into mixing chamber input conduit 19 may be reversed . fig3 is an embodiment of the filling apparatus of fig1 but with mixing element unit 21 in the mixing chamber 22 . the mixing element unit 21 contains a plurality of mixing elements . the mixing element 21 may be a static mixer . the mixing element unit 21 may contain about 2 to 10 mixing elements . fig9 shows a mixing element unit having six mixing elements . fig4 is an embodiment of the apparatus of fig3 where there is a mixing element unit 21 in the mixing chamber 22 . the other elements shown in fig4 are essentially the same as those of fig2 . to avoid redundancy , the description of the remaining elements of fig4 will not be repeated . fig5 shows an embodiment similar to that of fig3 and 4 except that the first component conduit 12 and the second component conduit 23 deliver the first component and the second component into the mixing chamber input conduit 19 at the same point . the two streams will simultaneously meet and flow through the mixing chamber input conduit 19 and into the mixing chamber 22 . the mixing primarily will occur in the mixing chamber 22 upon contact with the mixing element unit 21 . fig6 shows an embodiment similar to that of fig5 , except that the container 15 is tilted at an angle to the mixing chamber exit conduit 29 as it is being rotated and filled . the angling may be at an angle of about 3 degrees to about 20 to the exit 31 of the mixing chamber exit conduit 25 . this tilting of the container 15 during filling also can be utilized in the embodiments of fig1 and 2 . fig7 discloses an embodiment similar to that of fig3 and 4 . in fig7 , the support 11 includes a device to vibrate the base 13 and thereby vibrate the container 15 . the vibration may occur while the base 13 is being rotated . the result is that the container 15 is being vibrated while the container 15 is being oscillated and filled with the first component and the second component to produce random pattern mixture 30 . this also is applicable to the embodiment of fig1 and 2 . of course , the vibration and oscillation do not have to occur at the same time . additionally , it is not required that the container 15 be oscillated in this embodiment of the invention . the vibration of the base 13 and the container 15 during the filling of the container will cause the pattern of the product 30 in the container 15 to become more diffuse and will promote product 30 as it exits mixing chamber exit conduit 25 to flow away from mixing chamber exit conduit 25 to parts of the container that are more distant from the mixing chamber exit conduit 25 . this will be useful in filling non - circular containers such as oval containers that have an elliptical cross - section . it also will be useful in the filling of non - axial containers . these are containers that are not symmetrical around the axis of the container formed through the container fill and dispensing opening . both the amplitude and the frequency of the vibrations will depend on the particular formulations . fig8 a , 8 b and 8 c illustrate the different angles at which the first component 10 and the second component 20 may be delivered into the mixing chamber input conduit 19 . in fig8 a , the first component conduit 12 and second component conduit 23 are at a 180 degree orientation , one to the other , at the same point in the mixing chamber input conduit 19 , as shown in fig5 and 6 . in fig8 b , the first component conduit 12 and second component conduit 23 are at a 90 degree orientation , one to the other at the input to mixing chamber input conduit 19 . in fig8 c , the first component conduit 12 and second component conduit 21 are at a 45 degree angle orientation , one to the other , at the input to mixing chamber input conduit 19 . essentially , the first component conduit 12 and second component conduit 23 may intersect the mixing chamber input conduit 19 at any angle , as well as each at any point in the mixing chamber 22 . in addition there may be a 0 degree orientation by the first component conduit 12 and the second component conduit 23 being , in a coaxial orientation or a side by side orientation . in a coaxial orientation one will be within the other . fig9 discloses a static mixing element unit 21 which is mounted in mixing chamber 22 . this static mixing element unit 21 has a top surface 35 that is 90 degrees to the axis of the static mixing element unit 21 and to the central vertical axis of the static mixer chamber 22 . this static mixer 21 has six mixing elements , upper mixing elements 37 a and 37 b , middle mixing elements 38 a and 38 h and lower mixing elements 39 a and 39 h . each of the six mixing elements 37 a , 37 b , 38 a , 38 b , 39 a , 39 b has a top surface , each top surface is aligned at the same angle relative to the central axis of the static mixer chamber 22 . the invention is not so limited , however , and each mixing element may be rotated about the central vertical axis of the static mixer chamber 22 . the central vertical axis of the static mixer chamber is labeled as a - a in fig7 . in the present process , a wide range of known static mixing element units may be used . this includes those set out in u . s . pat . no . 3 , 991 , 129 ( daniels ); u . s . pat . no . 3 , 999 , 592 ( kopp et al . ); u . s . pat . no . 5 , 053 , 141 ( laiho ); u . s . pat . no . 4 , 093 , 188 ( horner ) and u . s . pat . no . 5 , 575 , 409 ( gruenderman ). the static mixing element usually will be of an alloy that is inert to the components to be mixed and may be of polymeric materials . fig1 illustrates the flow into mixing chamber input conduit 19 . this shows the mixing chamber input conduit 19 of fig3 with an equal amount of first component 10 and second component 20 and the interface 32 of first component 10 and the second component 20 . fig1 a shows this view of fig1 with a content of about 75 % first component 10 and 25 % second component 20 . fig1 shows the first component 10 and the second component 20 flows of fig3 contacting the top surface 35 of the mixing element unit 21 . the first component 10 and second component 20 have a common interface 32 . the common interface 32 contacts the top surface 35 of the mixing element unit 21 at a 0 degree angle . fig1 a shows the first component 10 and the second component 20 flows of fig1 contacting the top surface 35 of the static mixer 21 , where there is a content of about 75 % first component 10 and 25 % second component 20 . the common interface 32 is offset from the top surface 35 of the mixing element unit 21 . the common interface 32 and the top surface 35 are parallel with each other and therefore there is a 0 degree angle between the common interface 32 and the top surface 35 upon contact between the first component 10 and the second component 20 with the top surface 35 . fig1 shows the first component 10 and the second component 20 flows contacting the top surface 35 of the mixing element unit at about a 45 degree contact angle . the common interface 32 contacts the top surface 35 of the mixing element unit 21 at about a 45 degree angle . the interface fig1 a shows the first component 10 and the second component flows of fig1 contacting the top surface 35 of the mixing element unit where there is a content of about 75 % first component 10 and 25 % second component 20 . the common interface 32 is offset from the center of the top surface 35 of the mixing element unit 21 . the common interface 32 and the top surface 35 intersect with each other at a 45 degree angle . thus , in fig1 a the contact between the common interface 32 and the top surface 35 is at about 45 degrees . fig1 shows the first component 10 and the second component 20 flows contacting the top surface 35 of the mixing element unit at a 90 degree contact angle . the common interface 32 contacts the top surface 35 of the mixing element unit 21 at about a 45 degree angle . fig1 a shows the first component 10 and the second component 20 flows of fig1 contacting the top surface 35 of the mixing element unit where there is a content of about 75 % first component 10 and 25 % second component 20 . the common interface 32 and the top surface 35 intersect with each other at a 90 degree angle . thus , in fig1 a the contact between the common interface 32 and the top surface 35 is at about 90 degrees . the volume of the first component 10 to the volume of the second component 20 , one to the other , can be in a ratio of 20 / 80 to 80 / 20 . the diffuse design of the product that results will vary depending upon the ratio of the content of the first component 10 to the second component 20 . also the color or the first component 10 and the second component 20 may vary . however , the objective usually will be to use contrasting colors so as to make the diffuse design more vibrant and visible . a useful pairing of two components is to have one white and the other a color . with color matching the variations are essentially unlimited . further there can be more than two components fed into the mixing chamber . there can be three or more components , and in addition , particles or capsules may be included . this will provide a wider range of diffuse patterns to products . fig1 discloses the front elevation view a container 40 containing a product 30 having a random pattern 42 of components . the container 40 has a closure 44 . fig1 discloses the rear elevation view of container 40 with a random pattern 46 to the product 30 . it is seen that the design may differ from the front to the rear of the container . also depicted by the solid lines and the dashed lines is the difference in the texture and the density of the diffuse designs that are produced using the present process . the container 15 may be of essentially any shape , size or material construction . the only restriction is that the container 15 should be at least partially transparent , thus including container 15 being translucent , since the diffuse design should be at least partially visible through the container surfaces . since the products will primarily be consumer product - sized , the containers will contain about 250 ml to about 2 liters of product and may be constructed of polyethylene , clarified polypropylene , polyethylene terephthalate and polyvinyl chloride . the following is an example of a formulation that may be used in the present process to produce diffuse patterns in the final composition . the amounts are in weight percent based on the active weight of the material . the above formula is used to make both the first component 10 and the second component 20 compositions . the difference is that in the second component 20 pigment is added in the range of 0 . 07 to 0 . 1 . in this way second component 20 will have a color different from that of first component 10 . the amount of pigment added will determine the intensity of the colors in the diffuse patterns . first component 10 and second component 20 will be in a percent weight ratio of about 80 / 20 . however , the invention is not so limited and the ratio may be modified . in the process to make the product of fig1 and 15 , the process discussed with the apparatus of fig3 was used . the in - line mixer 21 had six mixing elements . the first composition 10 and the second composition 20 were in a ratio by percentage of 80 / 20 . the first component 10 is fed into flow meter input conduit 18 to flow meter 16 . from flow meter 16 first component 10 flows to valve 17 through conduit 14 . from the valve 17 the first component 10 flows through first component input conduit 12 to mixing chamber input conduit 19 . the second component 20 flows through flow meter conduit 28 to flow meter 26 . from flow meter 26 the second component flows through conduit 24 to valve 27 . from valve 27 the second component flows through second component input conduit 23 to mixing chamber input conduit 19 to join the first component 10 . the first component is pumped at a pressure of about 50 psi and the second component is pumped at a pressure of about 30 psi , the pressure will vary depending upon the viscosity of the components 10 , 20 and the desired fill rate . both the first component and the second component flow into and through mixing chamber 22 , which contains mixing element unit with three static mixers , and exits into mixing chamber exit conduit 25 . the bottle is a 230 ml or 450 ml oval bottle and it is rotated first in a clockwise direction to about 270 degrees and then in a counterclockwise direction to about 270 degrees while raising the mixing chamber exit conduit at 3 . 4 to 4 . 6 cm / sec . when the container is full , it is capped and then replaced with an empty container . the above process was repeated two to five times and produced differing diffuse patterns with a sand art appearance .
