Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for the metered application of liquid correction agents, paints or similar liquids according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a device of this type is from the US patent 3,902,8l5 known.
  • the outlet opening for the liquid at the top of the housing is closed by a shaft-shaped valve member which is pressed axially forward into the closed position by a compression spring.
  • the actuating means provided in the housing of the device has two spread-apart leaf springs which are supported with their front end on the inner wall of the housing and with their rear end on the valve member. The two leaf springs can be pressed together by two pushbuttons which are arranged diametrically in the housing wall, as a result of which the valve member is moved backwards and frees the outlet opening for the liquid.
  • an additional elastic hose is provided to seal the storage space provided in the housing for the liquid, which is arranged between the push buttons and the leaf springs.
  • the additional hose required for sealing makes assembly and sealing of the device difficult.
  • the actuating means consisting of pushbuttons and leaf springs is complicated in construction and therefore complex to manufacture and assemble.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a device of the type mentioned that is simpler and made up of a few parts and is therefore less expensive to manufacture and assemble and seal.
  • the housing has a continuously closed wall, so that the housing itself can form the storage space for the liquid without additional complex sealing measures.
  • the actuating means is arranged in the interior of the closed housing and can be actuated from the outside in that the housing is designed to be elastically deformable in the region of the actuating means.
  • the actuating means is expediently designed to be rotationally symmetrical and can be deformed by radial pressure at any two essentially diametrical points. The device can therefore be detected in any rotational position and it is sufficient to press the device in the region of the elastically deformable housing shell between two fingers in order to move the valve member and to open the outlet opening for the liquid.
  • the actuating means is designed as a membrane plate, which is held under the spring force on an annular seat and engages over this seat with a bent edge which lies against the inside of the deformable housing jacket.
  • the membrane plate is connected to the valve member. If a radial pressure is exerted on the edge of the membrane plate at diametrical points, the membrane plate bulges against the spring force and lifts off the seat. This pulls the valve member back and releases the outlet opening.
  • the membrane plate and the seat separate the storage space of the housing from the tip with the outlet opening. If there is overpressure in the storage room, e.g. due to an increase in temperature in the storage room or due to a decrease in the outside air pressure at a higher altitude, this overpressure also pushes the membrane plate onto the seat and creates a stronger seal between the storage room and the top of the device. This overpressure also causes the membrane plate to bulge slightly towards the tip, as a result of which the valve member is pressed into the outlet opening of the tip with increased axial pressure and the sealing effect is also increased there. An unintentional leakage of the liquid in the event of an overpressure in the liquid and an overpressure in the storage space is thereby reliably avoided.
  • the actuating means is designed as a radially deformable projection which is arranged coaxially in the housing.
  • a coaxial cone engages in this projection Valve member is arranged. If the projection is deformed by a diametrically exerted radial pressure, it pushes it backwards together with the valve member due to the wedge effect of the cone, so that the outlet opening is released.
  • the projection can be formed from axially parallel tongues which are arranged distributed over a circumference. These ribs allow easy deformability in the radial direction.
  • the projection can also be a radially deformable closed cylinder jacket, the cone preferably having a closed conical jacket surface.
  • the cylindrical projection and the cone also form a second additional seal between the storage space and the tip of the device. This seal is also reinforced if there is overpressure in the storage room. The overpressure acting on the cone also presses the valve member more strongly against the outlet opening, so that the seal is also reinforced there.
  • the device consists of a few individual parts that are easy to manufacture from plastic and can be easily assembled.
  • the device has a housing 10 in the form of a writing instrument, which encloses a storage space 12 for a liquid to be dispensed, for example a liquid correction agent.
  • the housing l0 At its front end, the housing l0 has a tip l4 in which there is an outlet opening l6 for the liquid.
  • the tip l4 goes with one radial shoulder in the larger diameter of the housing l0, so that a cover cap l8 can be placed on the tip l4, the outer circumference of which is flush with the outer circumference of the housing l0.
  • housing l0 At the tip l4 there is an axial section of the housing l0, which is designed as an elastically deformable housing jacket 20 with a smaller wall thickness.
  • the housing jacket 20 with a smaller wall thickness is sealingly fitted onto the subsequent housing 10 with a larger wall thickness.
  • a cylindrical extension 22 extends coaxially into the housing shell 20.
  • the cylindrical extension 22 is at a radial distance from the housing shell 20.
  • the cylindrical extension 22 With its free inner end, the cylindrical extension 22 forms an annular seat 24 for a circular disk-shaped membrane plate 26 which is designed as a closed plate and is elastically deformable.
  • the membrane plate 26 projects over the seat 24 with an edge 28.
  • the edge 28 is bent against the plane of the membrane plate 26 so that it engages in the radial space between the cylindrical extension 22 and the housing jacket 20 and abuts the housing jacket 20 from the inside.
  • a valve member 30 is formed in the center of the membrane plate 26 in the form of a rigid shaft, which projects into the tip, is axially guided there and seals the outlet opening l6 with a conical surface formed on its tip.
  • a conical compression spring 32 is supported with its front End with a small diameter centrally on the membrane plate 26 and with its rear end with a large diameter from a shoulder of the housing l0, which is formed by the front edge of the housing part with greater wall thickness.
  • the part of the housing 10 with a larger wall thickness, the tip 14 with the cylindrical extension 22 and the thinned housing jacket 20, and the membrane plate with the valve member 30 are each one-piece plastic injection-molded parts.
  • the entire device is composed of these three plastic injection molded parts and the helical compression spring 32, which preferably also consists of plastic. This results in simple manufacture and assembly.
  • the helical compression spring 32 presses on the membrane plate 26 and holds it against the seat 24. Due to the pressure of the helical compression spring 32 acting centrally on the elastically deformable membrane plate 26, the valve member 30, which is formed centrally on the membrane plate 26, is pressed with its conical tip into the outlet opening l6 so that it is tightly closed. If the housing jacket 20 is radially compressed in the area of the membrane plate 26 at two diametrical points, the edge 28 is pressed together at these points and the membrane plate 26 bulges out against the pressure of the helical compression spring 32 along a line which runs perpendicular to the connecting line of the pressure points. Due to this bulging of the membrane plate 26, the valve member 30 is withdrawn axially from the outlet opening 16, so that this outlet opening is released and the liquid from the tip 14 is expelled can kick.
  • the cylindrical extension 22 is formed with a closed outer surface and the membrane plate 26 is a closed plate, then the cylindrical extension 22 and the membrane plate 26 sealingly seated against the seat 24 under the pressure of the helical compression spring 32 make the storage space l2, which holds the liquid contains, closed against the tip l4 with the outlet opening l6. This results in a second seal in addition to the sealing of the outlet opening 16 by the valve member 30.
  • An overpressure prevailing in the storage space 12 acts in the same way as the helical compression spring 32 on the diaphragm plate 26 and reinforces its sealing against the seat 24 and the sealing of the outlet opening 16 by the valve member 30.
  • Figure 2 shows the front end of a second embodiment of the device.
  • This embodiment essentially corresponds to the embodiment of FIG. 1.
  • the liquid does not emerge directly at the outlet opening 16 of the tip 14, but reaches it into a brush 34 attached to the tip 14.
  • the liquid can be applied by means of the brush 34, as is preferred, for example, when applying nail polish.
  • FIG. 2 also shows slight deviations from the embodiment of FIG. 1 in the design of the individual parts.
  • the tip l4 and the cylindrical extension 22 with the seat 24 are formed as one part, while the thinned housing jacket 20 is an integral part of the entire housing l0. Accordingly, the helical compression spring 32 is supported on an internally molded bead of the housing l0.
  • the cover cap l8 is also pushed over the thinned housing jacket 20 in order to avoid inadvertently pressing the housing jacket 20 together. This is important, for example, if the device is used to apply nack polish and is kept in the handbag.
  • the device in the embodiment in FIG. 2 corresponds to the embodiment in FIG. 1, so that the same reference numbers are used and reference can be made to the description there.
  • the tip 14 is formed in one piece with the thinned housing jacket 20, which is fitted onto the rear part of the housing 10 with a greater wall thickness.
  • the outlet opening 16 is closed by the shaft-shaped valve member 30 that has a cone 36 which widens towards the rear at its rear end points.
  • An insert 38 is inserted into the tip 14, which axially guides the valve member 30 and has a projection projecting rearward into the housing.
  • This projection is formed by ribs 40, which are arranged on a circumference and, starting from the insert 38, project axially parallel into the space enclosed by the thinned housing jacket 20.
  • the ribs 40 At their free ends, the ribs 40 have a radially outwardly bent edge 42 which bears against the inside of the thinned deformable housing jacket 20. In this way, the ribs 40 can be bent inwards by radial pressure against the housing jacket 20.
  • the cone 36 is under the pressure of the helical compression spring 32 with its conical surface in contact with the bending edge of the ribs 40, at which the ribs 40 merge into the edge 42.
  • the helical compression spring 32 presses the cone 36 forward, as a result of which the ribs 40 are pressed outward and the valve member 30 sits with its conical tip under pressure in the outlet opening 16. If diametrically arranged ribs 40 are radially compressed from the outside, the cone 36 is pushed axially backwards against the pressure of the helical compression spring 32 by the wedge action of its conical surface, so that the valve member 30 releases the outlet opening l6 and the liquid can escape.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 show a modified embodiment of the device of FIGS. 3 and 4.
  • the embodiment of FIGS. 5 and 6 differs from the embodiment of FIGS. 3 and 4 only in that the coaxially deformable projection used by means of the insert 38 is not formed by ribs, but by a closed cylinder jacket.
  • the wall thickness of the cylinder jacket 44 is selected so that it can be deformed by radial pressure against its outwardly bent edge 42.
  • the cone 36 with the valve member 30 can be displaced axially backwards by diametrical pressure against the edge 40 of the cylinder jacket 44 in order to open the outlet opening 16.
  • the closed cylinder jacket 44 and the closed cone 36 seated on its bending edge form a completely sealing partition between the storage space l2 and the tip 14.
  • the sealing pressure of the cone 36 against the bending edge of the cylinder jacket 44 and the sealing pressure of the valve member simultaneously 30 can be increased in the outlet opening l6.
