DE19536156A1 - Dispenser for sticky foodstuffs, e.g. honey - Google Patents

Abstract

The dispenser uses a conventional jar with a screw cap in which the food is stored. The cap is removed and replaced by a fixture (4) into which the jar is mounted upside down. The dispensing hole in the fixture is closed with a flap (7) which can be pivoted clear of the hole. To facilitate the flow of the viscous nutrient in the jar, the space above the nutrient is connected to atmosphere by a central tube (8). The tube is normally closed by a valve (9) which can be operated by a spring loaded lever (12).

Description

The invention relates to a from a vessel Removable cap existing metering device tion, as a so-called dispenser for viscous Food, especially honey.  

A hygienically shielding honey jar Dosing dispenser is for example from DE-AS 21 31 209 known in the form of a special ge barrel, always to be from a storage container fill and when in use only in its use is able to bring.

The particular ones for the breakfast buffet Disadvantages resulting from power companies if possible using the original containers to eliminate is the task of the present Er finding.

This task is solved by the characteristic Features of claim 1; advantageous Ausge events and developments of the invention Content of the subclaims and in the drawings largely shown schematically.

Show it:

Fig. 1 the new donor in honey Ge need location in longitudinal section;

Fig. 2 shows an alternative embodiment to Fig. 1,

FIG. 3 is a further alternative,

Fig. 4 is a design example of the honey outlet as a plan view in section and

Fig. 5 shows a stand for the new dispenser in side view.

The illustration in Fig. 1 shows a commercially available honey jar 1 in the reverse position, that is to say with the top of the container bottom 1 a shown position, in which chem on the conventional screw thread 1 b, thus not shown, of the original cover, not shown, a specially designed metering module 4 with identical thread 1 b, outflow opening 5 and this sealing rotary slide closure 7 , 7 a, 7 b is placed. So that the honey or any other viscous food can flow freely when opening the slide 7 or a different type of closure, a pressure compensation element "D" is also integrated into the metering module 4 , which in the present case from the pressure compensation tube which can be closed at the end via a sealing cone 9 8 exists and the air afterflow is effected via a rocker arm 12 which is seated in a holder 13 on the outside of the metering module 4 and is operatively connected via an actuator 10 against the pressure of a closing spring 11 with the sealing cone.

As an alternative to this, according to FIGS. 2 and 3, the assignment of the pressure compensation element to the tank bottom is also conceivably approximately in the form of a valve body 14 , which can be hygienically closed by a rotatable cap 15 ; Here, however, a special derglas 2 with a corresponding bottom opening 2 c is required, which comes from the manufacturer by means of a zipper or the like.

In the context of the new solution, according to FIG. 3, there is also the variant of the formation of the honey jar 3 with two end caps 20 , the egg ner of which is then replaced by the metering module 4 when used analogously to the technical teaching of the invention and the other one in FIG. 2 shown from Ven tilkörper 14 and cap 15 existing pressure compensation element "D" can contain or get put on.

In Fig. 4 is ultimately still indicated a stand of 16 with special holder 17 for the respective glass 1 or 2 or 3 in its position of use on a table 19 or the like. Incl. The sensible assignment of a drip tray 18 as a standing area.
