Definitions

  • the invention relates to a dosing store for receiving and dispensing laundry treatment agents, in particular liquid laundry detergents, in a washing machine, a tumble dryer or the like, consisting of a container formed by a closure cap of a laundry treatment agent storage bottle and a lid provided with at least one laundry treatment agent dispensing opening, which opens at the storage bottle of the screwed-on closure cap can be detachably fastened to the closure cap in the storage position overlapping the cap base and can be arranged to form the dosing reservoir in a screwed position, which cooperates with the closure cap thread, at the end of the closure cap opposite the closure cap base to overlap the closure cap opening.
  • laundry treatment agents in particular liquid laundry detergents
  • Such a metering reservoir is known from EP-A 0 230 079 (FIG. 7), the closure cap forming an external thread in its cap bottom region, onto which the cover can be screwed with an edge that extends from it and has an internal thread. This corresponds to the storage position. If the position of use of the dosing reservoir is to be brought into order to place it in a washing drum of a washing machine filled with textiles, then after filling the closure cap unscrewed from the storage bottle, the lid has to be implemented in such a way that it then opens the external thread surrounding the cap opening is unscrewed. Then, however, the external thread adjacent to the cap base is exposed and can damage sensitive textiles during the washing process. Then the dosing quantity can never exceed the cap volume.
  • the invention is based on the object of designing a metering reservoir of the aforementioned type in such a way that, with the largest possible filling volume, small stack, high and large stacking stability, optimum use, in particular easy filling, is also possible beyond the volume of the closure cap.
  • the lid is designed as a pot which increases the storage volume of the metering storage device in the use position and is provided with an external thread and is held in its storage position in the adhesive seat with support in the cap base area on the closure cap and a funnel-shaped, inwardly directed Has lid bottom, which has the discharge opening in the funnel base.
  • a metering store of the type in question of increased utility value is specified.
  • the lid In the position of use, the lid is not only the component that closes the cap opening, but also the element that enlarges the mouth. The metered amount can thus be greater than the volume of the cap.
  • the lid is pot-shaped, it does not lead to a greater stack height.
  • the proven, non-self-releasing, known thread engagement between cover and closure cap can be generated.
  • the metering reservoir can be filled easily, namely through the funnel-shaped inwardly directed lid bottom, so that spilling the laundry treatment agent from the storage bottle is largely eliminated.
  • the discharge opening is also the filling opening. The metered amount can then reach the dispensing opening. With a lower dosage, it is quite possible to fill the cap before screwing on the lid.
  • Another advantage can be seen in the fact that the lid bottom directed in the shape of a funnel still leads to a stabilization of the lid, so that this benefits the great stacking stability.
  • cap base edge is supported on the inner wall of the pot in the storage position has a further effect on stability.
  • the loading forces when the storage bottles are stacked on top of one another are thus conducted into the pot wall and thus into the thread of the storage container. Deformations of the lid or pot are therefore reliably prevented.
  • the funnel opening edge is supported on the cap base in the storage position also has an effect on stability.
  • the cap base edge could also be supported on the inner wall of the pot at the same time, so that the total forces are distributed over a larger zone while achieving a lower specific surface load.
  • clamping webs extending in the direction of insertion are arranged on the inner wall of the pot. These fulfill a further function in that they serve at the same time to increase the storage volume, since the diameter of the pot or the lid is increased by the webs.
  • the clamping webs also have a further function in that they overlap the edge of the cap bottom in a stepped manner with their ends at the bottom of the pot. Then they serve at the same time to support the lid on the closure cap in the storage position and direct the corresponding loading forces into the cap wall.
  • the thread engagement between the closure cap and the cover is covered by the fact that the external thread of the pot can be screwed to the internal thread of the closure cap provided for screwing the closure cap onto the storage bottle. An additional thread can therefore be omitted, since the internal thread of the closure cap allows the pot to be screwed on in the position of use.
  • closure cap has a circular cylinder wall extending from the bottom of the closure cap. This is coming. very counter to the introduction of the loading forces acting on the closure cap in the storage position.
  • the closure cap obtains an optimal volume in that an annular collar protruding outwards extends from the circular cylinder wall and consists of a radial web and an axial web supporting the internal thread.
  • the circular cylinder wall has an extension that extends beyond the ring collar. On the one hand, this exerts a centering effect on the pot or lid. On the other hand, the extension can bring about a centering effect when the closure cap is placed on the storage container.
  • the pot has a barrel-shaped side wall, which merges smoothly into the funnel wall via a rounded section. This design leads to an edge-free design and to an increase in the stability of the pot in the stressed area.
  • the numeral 1 denotes a laundry treatment agent supply bottle. It can hold a liquid detergent, for example. At its upper end, the storage bottle 1 merges into a threaded connector 2, onto which a closure cap 3 is screwed.
  • the closure cap 3 has a closure cap base 4, which extends perpendicularly to the screwing direction and from which a circular cylinder wall 5 extends. At its screw-on end, this forms an outwardly projecting annular collar K, which in turn consists of a radial web 6 and an axial web 8 having an internal thread 7. The length of the axial web 8 corresponds to a multiple of that of the radial web 6.
  • the circular cylinder wall 5 continues into an extension 9 extending beyond the ring collar. The latter exerts a centering effect when the closure cap 3 is placed on the threaded connector 2 of the storage bottle 1. Through the extension 9 and the ring collar, an annular chamber 10 is produced, in which the threaded connector 2 is immersed.
  • the circular cylinder wall 5 In the area of the annular collar K, the circular cylinder wall 5 has a greater material thickness. Above the ring collar K - starting from the storage position - the wall thickness decreases beyond a radially inward ring step 11.
  • the inner wall 12 of the circular cylinder wall is continuously smooth up to the extension 9. As shown in FIG. 2, it widens slightly towards the cap opening 13.
  • the closure cap 3 is assigned a cover 14.
  • the latter is designed as a pot 15, which, when the closure cap 3 is screwed onto the storage bottle 1, can be detachably fastened into the cap base 4 overlapping the storage position according to FIG. 2.
  • the determination is made in the adhesive seat with support in the cap bottom area.
  • the pot 15 has a barrel-shaped side wall 16 which merges into a funnel wall 18 via a rounded section 17, as a result of which a funnel-shaped, inwardly directed lid base is formed.
  • the corresponding funnel base is provided with a central discharge opening 19. In the storage position illustrated in FIG. 2, the funnel opening edge 18 'is supported on the cap base 4.
  • the diameter of the discharge opening 19 corresponds approximately to the radius of the cap base 4, so that in the storage position and stacked packages receiving packets, the loading forces are introduced into a stable area of the cap 3, which forces in turn via the circular cylinder wall 5 from the thread engagement between the cap 3 and Threaded socket 2 are collected.
  • the barrel-shaped side wall 16 merges into a circular cylindrical section 22 at the end.
  • An external thread 23 is formed there, which is adapted to the internal thread 7 of the closure cap 3.
  • Adjacent to the external thread 23 is an outwardly pointing annular collar 24, which has a radially standing sealing surface 25.
  • the cover 14 is pulled out of its alkali covering the closure cap base 4. Then unscrew the cap 3 from the storage bottle 1 and bring it into a position turned through 180 °. This is followed by screwing on the lid 14, the external thread 23 of which engages with the internal thread 7 of the closure cap 3.
  • the extension 9 also produces a threading effect for the pot 15 or lid 14. The screwing-on movement is limited when the sealing surface 25 of the pot Collar 24 abuts against the facing end edge 26 of the ring collar K. A tight fit is achieved in this way.
  • the metering reservoir can then be filled, specifically through the discharge opening 19, which is facilitated by filling the funnel wall 18.
  • the dosing reservoir can either be held in the hand or placed with its cap base 4 on a flat lower surface.
  • the filling volume is now composed of the volume of the closure cap 3 and that of the lid 14.
  • sealing cap it is advisable to form the sealing cap from colored and the lid from translucent plastic. Corresponding metering marks, not shown, can be used to measure the quantity.
  • the dosing reservoir enriched with laundry treatment agent is to be placed in the washing drum of a washing machine in such a way that emptying takes place only during the washing process.
  • the second embodiment illustrated in FIG. 5 largely corresponds to the first embodiment.
  • the same parts therefore have the same reference numbers.
  • the clamping webs 27 continue to form a radially inwardly directed step 28 in ends 29 reaching up to the rounded section 17.
  • the clamping webs 27 with their steps 28 are placed on the cap edge 31, so that corresponding loading forces are passed directly over the cap edge 31 into the circular cylinder wall 5 of the closure cap.
  • the funnel opening edge 18 is then relieved and does not need to transmit any force. However, it would also be possible to let the funnel opening edge extend to the cap base 4, so that both the clamping webs 27 and the funnel opening edge come into support position.
  • the third embodiment shown in FIG. 6 also largely corresponds to the first.
  • the same reference numbers are in turn transmitted.
  • the cap base edge 31 is now supported directly on the inner wall 32 of the pot. This takes place in the area of the rounding section 17, which is followed by the funnel wall 18.
  • the funnel now has a smaller depth. However, it could also be higher.
