  • the pump stroke of the dispensing tube and the attached atomizer cap is in the Practice about 7 mm to 8 mm.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a device for atomizing a cosmetic, or the like. Liquid that is permanently leak-proof and functionally reliable, in particular with a lateral load on the discharge valve associated with the pump when starting from the prior art mentioned Operation of the pump is avoided.
  • the atomizer cap is fixedly mounted on the container in the device according to the invention.
  • the dispensing tube and thus the pump are actuated by a separate actuating member which is pivotally mounted in the atomizer cap.
  • the device according to the invention no longer has the increased risk of leakage between the dispensing tube and the pump body. Can also by lateral loading of the delivery tube no longer affects the function of the pump.
  • the actuating member is preferably connected in one piece to the discharge channel, at the free end of which the atomizing nozzle is arranged.
  • the discharge channel and the actuating member accordingly form a unitary unit which is placed inside the atomizer cap, in a predetermined assignment to the delivery tube of the pump.
  • the lever of the actuating member is increased relative to the axially movable delivery tube, with the result that it can be moved into the pump body or container with less effort, with appropriate atomization of the liquid pressed out of the pump chamber.
  • this measure enables finer metering of the liquid emerging from the atomizer nozzle.
  • the features of claim 11 provide an advantageous connection between the actuator on the one hand and Discharge channel including atomizer nozzle on the other hand, which on the one hand is easy to manufacture and on the other hand extremely flexible and reliable.
  • Liquid from a container 1 comprises an atomizer cap 7, which is mounted on the free or outer end of a dispensing tube 6, which as an active part of a a pump opening 3 mounted pump 3 against the action of an elastic element arranged within the pump body 4, namely helical compression spring 5 is axially movable into the pump body 4.
  • the atomizer cap 7 is at the outer end of the said delivery tube 6 mounted in such a way that the fluid channel 8 of the dispensing tube 6 opens into a discharge channel 9 which extends approximately transversely thereto and is formed within the atomizer cap 7 and at the free end of which an atomizer nozzle 10 is arranged.
  • the atomizer cap 7 is fixedly mounted on the container 1, namely on the upper container edge 30, with a clamped fixation on the upper container edge 30.
  • the atomizer cap 7 comprises an actuating member 11, which is connected in one piece to the discharge channel 9, in such a way that when the actuating member 11 is actuated, the dispensing tube 6 can be moved into the pump body 4 with corresponding entrainment of the discharge channel 9 (arrow 31 in FIG. 4) .
  • the aforementioned discharge channel 9 is supported and guided axially movably on the inside 12 of the atomizer cap 7 facing the atomizer nozzle 10 on the one hand and on an inside of the atomizer cap 7 approximately above the dispensing tube 6, namely, integrally formed projection 13.
  • the last-mentioned projection 13 is formed by two axial ribs arranged diametrically to the central axis 15 of the dispensing tube 6, which are encompassed on the sides facing the atomizer nozzle by a web 16 which is integrally formed on the discharge channel 9 and is approximately U-shaped in cross-section, forming an axial guide.
  • two axially extending side guide ribs 17 are arranged, namely integrally formed, at a distance from one another, between which the end of the discharge channel on the atomizer nozzle side is axially displaceably guided.
  • the atomizer cap 7 has a preferably axially extending opening 14 in the region of the atomizer nozzle 10 such that the atomizer nozzle 10 is in any possible axial position relative to the permanently attached atomizer cap 7, which is brought about by the actuating member 11 or is freely accessible relative to the container 1 or container liquid can escape through the atomizing nozzle in any axial position.
  • the said side guide ribs 17 are preferably arranged on both sides of the through opening 14 in the atomizer cap 7.
  • the actuating member 11 is articulated in the area below the atomizer nozzle 10 on the inside 12 of the atomizer cap 7.
  • the actuating member 11, starting from an actuating button 18 which is formed diametrically to the atomizing nozzle 10, has two spaced-apart side cheeks 19, the ends 20 of which are inserted into complementary receptacles 21 to form a hinge-like articulated connection from below or on the container side, said ends 20 of the side cheeks 19 being held in these receptacles 21 by the helical compression spring 5 which is arranged inside the pump body 4 and which dispenses the discharge tube 6 and accordingly the discharge channel 9 together with the actuating member 11 from the pump body 4.
  • the bending elastic tabs 22 urging the actuating member 11 into the starting position are deformed when pressure is exerted on the actuating button 18 of the actuating member 11 and corresponding movement of the actuating member 11 downwards or towards the container 1 according to FIG. 4, namely with the support of the aforementioned nose-like projections 29.
  • the actuating member 11 or the associated actuating button 18 is released, the actuating member 11 moves back into the starting position according to FIG. 3 on the one hand by the reshaping of the tabs 22 and on the other hand by the helical compression spring 5 arranged inside the pump body 4 3, the return movement of the actuating member 11 is limited by the upper end wall 33 of the atomizer cap 7. 3 and 4 can be seen very nicely, the discharge channel 9 moves when the actuating member 11 is actuated upwards or downwards while maintaining its direction.
  • the discharge channel 9 thus exactly follows the axial movement of the delivery tube 6.
  • the receptacles 21 for the ends 20 on the atomizer nozzle side of the side cheeks 19 assigned to the actuating member 11 are on the lower or the container 1 facing sides of two approximately at a distance from the said side cheeks 19 extending support strips 23 formed on the inside 12 of the atomizer cap 7, in the form of recesses.
  • laterally outwardly extending pins 24 can be hooked on the atomizer nozzle-side ends 20 of the side cheeks 19, forming the hinge-like articulated connection.
  • the recesses 21 are replaced by C-shaped or U-shaped receiving openings.
  • the central axis 15 of the dispensing tube 6 and thus the pump 3 is offset from the area of the central container axis 25 in the direction of the atomizing nozzle 10.
  • the effective lever arm between the dispensing tube 6 and the actuating button 18 is thus enlarged, as a result of which a finer dosage is possible with less effort.
  • connection between the actuating member 11 and the discharge channel 9 is formed by a flexible connecting tab 26 which, starting from the discharge tube-side end of the discharge channel 9, slopes downwards or towards the container 1 towards an inside of the actuating member 11, namely in the region of the end of the atomizer nozzle
  • Operating button 18 integrally formed reinforcing rib 27 extends.
  • the connection of the connecting strap 26 to the reinforcing rib 27 takes place in the lower region thereof, as clearly shown in FIGS. 1, 3 and 4.
  • the reinforcing rib 27 extends in the area below the actuation button 18 in a plane which is defined by the two central axes 15 and 25 of the dispensing tube 6 and the container 1 (see FIG. 5). 5, the two support strips 23 are each formed on the two outer sides of the side cheeks 19.
  • the container 1 with the atomizer cap 7 represents an approximately cuboid-shaped object. It is equally conceivable that the container together To form the atomizer cap in cross section or in plan view in a circular cylindrical or oval shape.
  • the pump 3 is a conventional pump, a detailed description thereof is omitted here.
  • the arrangement of a riser tube 28 at the end of the pump body on the inside of the container is also known. The same applies to the attachment of the pump body 4 to the edge of the container opening by means of a crimped sheet metal ring 34.
  • the meaning of the described device lies in the integral design of the discharge channel and the actuating member and their arrangement within an atomizer cap in exact association with the dispensing tube, which is the active pump actuating element.
  • the arrangement and design of the actuator 11 is such that a maximum lever arm is effective on the delivery tube, with the result that an exact dosage is possible with little finger pressure. A more uniform atomization can also be achieved in this way.
