Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a container according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the dispensing of the contents is controlled by moisture during the washing process.
  • a membrane is arranged over a dispensing opening of a container, which is dissolved by the moisture, be it the filling material or washing water, after appropriate protective measures have been taken to activate the container, with which the premature dissolution or softening of the membrane mentioned is prevented becomes.
  • Another aim of the technique described in this US patent is to dispense the contents after a predetermined period of time during which the container is subjected to the washing process.
  • the dissolution time of the membrane mentioned is used, and the explanations given above show that a time delay which is only halfway controlled can hardly be realized, for example because of the previously prevailing, undetermined initial conditions with regard to the ambient humidity.
  • the membrane mentioned once exposed, is extremely sensitive to selective mechanical loads in the washing process and is likely to break open before its scheduled dissolution time if the items are subjected to specific loads.
  • outlets which have been opened beforehand are provided on a container.
  • Expenditures that are already open at the time the container is inserted involve the risk that the contents, in particular the liquid detergent, will flow out before the actual washing process begins and in high concentration will contact the laundry undesirably early. As with laundry as laundry, this can give rise to stains, or the product that is dispensed early can flow to the drain before it has even had an effect.
  • This is a container for dispensing a filling, in particular of liquid detergent, into the laundry during a machine washing process known with two mutually displaceable housing parts which are displaceable against each other.
  • the first housing part has an opening which is surrounded by a sealing lip.
  • the previously known container has a control section, namely the filler pipe, which is connected to the sealing lip in such a way that the opening on the first housing part surrounded by said sealing lip is released or blocked by moving the control section with respect to the sealing lip as a dispensing opening for the filling material, wherein the control section in one displacement position of the housing parts blocks the opening surrounded by the sealing lip and can release it in the other.
  • a control section namely the filler pipe
  • the control section is formed by a central tube section which, on the one hand, passes through the opening on the first housing part and, with its opposite end, also surrounds a central region facing it on the second housing part.
  • the poppet-type sealing seats between the pipe section according to DE-U and the housing parts only allow a very limited flow cross-section as a discharge opening for the filling material. Furthermore, in the case of a container of this type which is to be produced in large numbers, the aspect of how many parts are to be produced is of not negligible importance.
  • the present invention aims to remedy the disadvantages mentioned. This is achieved according to the characterizing part of claim 1.
  • the container according to the invention working according to the method according to the invention, comprises a lower container part 1 and a lid part 2.
  • the inner wall 8 i of the pot 3 has radial ones Openings 5, which lie above a pot base 6, which forms the end of the inner wall 8 i of the pot 3.
  • About a pot edge 7, the inner wall 8 i continues into a downwardly projecting outer wall 8 a , which is guided axially displaceably in an annular channel 9 in the base part 4.
  • the illustrated openings, 5-closing relative position of the cover part 2 and lower part 1 is a terminal bead 11 of the outer wall 8a on a bead 10 on the outer, the annular channel 9 forming wall 12a of the base portion 4 at, whereby the lid part 2 is secured against further extension or detachment.
  • the cover part 2 is, as mentioned, slidably axially in the directions shown by x in FIG. 3 and y in FIG. 4.
  • the force K xy required for this is determined at least primarily by the friction of the edge bead 11 in the channel 9.
  • the inner wall 12 i of the ring channel 9 on the base part 4 continues into a radially inwardly extending ring flange 13, which has a sealing lip 14 at the end, which lies against the inside of the inner wall 8 i of the pot 3.
  • this sealing lip 14 lies approximately at the height of the pot base 6 and thus the openings 5 above the sealing lip, so that through these openings 5 the passage from the interior of the container through the central space of the pot 3 is blocked.
  • the pot 3 is moved into the position according to FIG. 4, at least one axial section of the openings 5 comes to lie below the sealing lip 14, which means through this opening section a flow from the inside of the container into the central space of the pot 3 and thus into the environment is opened.
  • the container In this position of the two container parts 1 and 3, the container can be filled by pouring into the central arch of the pot 3. In this position, the container also empties when it is swung back and forth by the circulating movements of a washing machine drum. Wash water is also run in, which means that the fill and wash water are continuously exchanged.
  • the force which must act in the direction y according to FIG. 4 between the pot 3 and the lower part 1 of the container in order to cause an axial displacement of the two parts 1, 3 is caused by the frictional relationships between the outer wall 8 a of the pot 3 and the bead 10 and the walls 12 a , 12 i of the channel 9 with bead 11 fixed.
  • These frictional relationships can be predefined in such a way that only certain force effects during the washing process lead to an opening displacement y of the two parts 1, 3, in particular that force effects due to wet laundry only trigger the displacement mentioned.
  • the channel 9 is designed to vary with the azimuthal angle ⁇ or the roughness of the channel walls and / or the wall 8 a is varied azimuthally, then by turning accordingly 5, the bead segments 11 s are screwed into more or less wide areas of the channel 9 with respect to the base part 1 about the container axis A according to FIG. 5, with which the friction conditions can be adjusted. In this way it can be set at which forces during the washing process the opening movement of pot 3 with respect to base part 1 of the container is to take place.
  • a delay time which, starting from the first occurrence of the force necessary for the displacement, determines how long it takes until a partial, then finally a complete opening of the openings 5 has taken place.
  • an inclined surface 16 is machined in the interior of the inner wall 8 i on its upper region, which adjoins the pot edge 7, which is brought into engagement with an inclined surface 15 on the base part 4 when the pot 3 is rotated accordingly about the container axis A, and only then when the two movable container parts 3, 1 are in the position shown in FIG. 4.
  • the two parts 3 and 4 and thus 3 and 1 are pushed apart.
  • Control inclined surfaces 15 and 16 on the base part 4 and the pot 3 are shown schematically.
  • Control surface body 17 is trapezoidal, so there is also the possibility of rotating the pot 3 in such a way that the control surface body 17 associated with it comes to rest on the upper side 18 of the trapezoidal control body on part 4, the two parts 3 and 4 to be locked against engagement.
  • grip grooves 20 are incorporated. If one rotates the pot 3 in the position shown in FIG. 4 by engaging in these grip grooves 20, as mentioned, the inclined surfaces 15 and 16 engage one another (FIG. 6), with which the pot 3 is pushed outward (in the x direction) becomes.
