Description
Eine Vorrichtung zum Zuführen von Toner ist z.B. aus der EP-B-152 415 bekannt. Diese bekannte Vorrichtung besteht aus einer Flasche mit auf den Flaschenhals aufgesiegelter Folie. Die Folie wird beim Einsetzen der Flasche in einen Einfüllstutzen über einen Teil des Umfangs aufgeschnitten, so dass sich der Inhalt der Flasche über den Einfüllstutzen in einen Vorratsbehälter der Kopiermaschine ergiesst.A device for supplying toner is known, for example, from EP-B-152 415. This known device consists of a bottle with foil sealed onto the bottle neck. When the bottle is inserted into a filler neck, the foil is cut open over part of its circumference so that the contents of the bottle pour out through the filler neck into a storage container of the copier machine.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art derart auszubilden, dass sie vor dem Abnehmen aus der Kopiermaschine verschliessbar ist, damit Verschmutzungen durch verbliebene Tonerreste im Behälter vermieden werden. Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmalskombination der Ansprüche gelöst.The present invention is based on the object of designing a device of the type mentioned at the beginning in such a way that it can be closed before being removed from the copier so that contamination by remaining toner residues in the container is avoided. This object is achieved by the combination of features of the claims.
Nachfolgend wird ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung anhand der Zeichnungen erläutert. Darin zeigt:An embodiment of the invention is explained below with reference to the drawings, in which:

Schnitte längs den Linien III-III bzw. IV-IV in Figur 2.Sections along lines III-III and IV-IV in Figure 2.
Die Vorrichtung besteht aus einem flaschenförmigen Behälter 1, auf dessen Hals 2 ein Verschlusskopf 3 aufgeschraubt ist, einem Verschluss 4 sowie einer zwischen Kopf 3 und Verschluss 4 eingesetzten Flachdichtung 5 und einem Dichtring 6, der den Kopf 3 gegen den Behälter 1 abdichtet. Der Kopf 3 hat eine dem Behälter 1 zugewandte, dachförmige Erhebung 10, die einen Trichter bildet, und zwei sich diametral gegenüberliegende annäherndThe device consists of a bottle-shaped container 1, onto the neck 2 of which a closure head 3 is screwed, a closure 4 and a flat seal 5 inserted between the head 3 and closure 4 and a sealing ring 6 which seals the head 3 against the container 1. The head 3 has a roof-shaped elevation 10 facing the container 1, which forms a funnel, and two diametrically opposed, approximately
viertelkreissegmentförmige Öffnungen 11 sowie drei sich über etwas mehr als 90° in Umfangsrichtung erstreckende, in einer gemeinsamen Radialebene angeordnete Schlitze 12.quarter-circle segment-shaped openings 11 and three slots 12 extending over slightly more than 90° in the circumferential direction and arranged in a common radial plane.
Die Dichtung 5 und eine Stirnwand 13 des Verschlusses 4 haben ebenfalls je zwei diametral gegenüberliegende Öffnungen 14, 15 von gleicher Umrissform wie die Öffnung 11 aber etwas grösseren Abmessungen. Die Scheibe 5 besteht aus abriebfestem und gleitfähigem Schaumgummi und ist auf die Wand 13 aufgeklebt. Vom Verschluss 4 stehen oben drei gleichmässig über den Umfang verteilte Nocken 16 ab, deren Oberseite keilförmig verjüngt ist. Die Nocken 16 sind in die Schlitze 12 eingerastet. Der untere, plattenförmige Fuss 20 des Verschlusses 4 hat jeweils einen von vier gezeichneten, abstehenden F.arbkodiernocken 21 . Der betreffende Nocken 21 wird mittels Einsätzen im Spritzgiesswerkzeug am Verschluss 4 angeformt. Die Nocken 21 stellen sicher, dass die Vorrichtung nur auf die passende Öffnung für die betreffende Farbe an der Kopiermaschine eingesetzt werden kann. Auf der einen Seite des Fusses 20 steht ein Rastnocken 22 ab. Auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite ist ein Schieber 23 zum Sichern der Vorrichtung in der Kopiermaschine eingesetzt. Der Schieber 23 besteht aus einem in eine rechteckige Öffnung 24 eingeschobenen, quaderför— migen Schieberteil 25 mit einer vorstehenden Rastnase 26 sowie einem Betätigungsteil 27, der durch ein Langloch 28 im Fuss 20 durchgesteckt und mit zwei hakenförmigen, federnden Zungen 29 in eine entsprechende Öffnung 30 des Teils 25 eingerastet ist. Damit ist der Schieber 23 unlösbar im Fuss 20 gehalten. Der Teil 27 überragt die Oberseite 31 des Fusses.The seal 5 and a front wall 13 of the closure 4 also each have two diametrically opposed openings 14, 15 of the same outline as the opening 11 but slightly larger dimensions. The disc 5 is made of abrasion-resistant and slippery foam rubber and is glued to the wall 13. Three cams 16, evenly distributed over the circumference, protrude from the top of the closure 4, the top of which is tapered in a wedge shape. The cams 16 are engaged in the slots 12. The lower, plate-shaped foot 20 of the closure 4 has one of four drawn, protruding color-coding cams 21. The relevant cam 21 is molded onto the closure 4 using inserts in the injection mold. The cams 21 ensure that the device can only be inserted into the appropriate opening for the relevant color on the copying machine. On one side of the foot 20, a locking cam 22 protrudes. On the opposite side, a slider 23 is inserted to secure the device in the copying machine. The slider 23 consists of a cuboid-shaped slider part 25 inserted into a rectangular opening 24 with a protruding locking lug 26 and an actuating part 27 which is pushed through an elongated hole 28 in the foot 20 and is locked into a corresponding opening 30 in the part 25 with two hook-shaped, spring-loaded tongues 29. The slider 23 is thus held indetachably in the foot 20. The part 27 protrudes above the top 31 of the foot.
Die Entleerung des Toners in die Maschine erfolgt über eine Drehung des Behälters 1 um 90°, so dass die Öffnungen 11, 14, 15 fluchten. Vor dem Abnehmen der Vorrichtung von der Maschine wird der Behälter 1 wieder in die Ausgangsstellung zurückgedreht. Die beiden Drehstellungen sind durch Anschlag der Nocken 16 an den Enden der Schlitze 12 definiert. Die Vorrichtung ermöglicht eine einfache Handhabung und ein Abdichten vor dem Entfernen von der Maschine. Dadurch kann die Verschmutzung durch Resttoner vermieden werden.The toner is emptied into the machine by rotating the container 1 by 90° so that the openings 11, 14, 15 are aligned. Before removing the device from the machine, the container 1 is rotated back to its original position. The two rotational positions are defined by the stops of the cams 16 at the ends of the slots 12. The device enables easy handling and sealing before removal from the machine. This can prevent contamination from residual toner.
