Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for dispensing flowable media, which are arranged in a container with a hose having a valve device made of elastically deformable material, with a stationary pressure part and a pivotable lever having a pressure surface for compressing a lever arranged between the pressure part and the surface Hose section with opening of the valve device and delivery of the medium in the hose.
  • EP 0 045 830 and 0 329 532 describe soap dispensers which have disadvantages comparable to those of the soap dispenser mentioned at the outset.
  • the dispenser according to EP 0 045 830 can also be used for granular material.
  • the invention has for its object to further develop the generic device without undue design effort so that the medium can be delivered to the desired location on the hand of the user.
  • the object is achieved in that the outlet of the hose is connected to a pivotable portion of the lever.
  • the invention is at least achieved when the outlet has a fixed position with respect to the hand of the user, regardless of whether the user holds the lever or pivots. This ensures with a properly adjusted device that the medium is preferably dispensed onto the user's palm.
  • the outlet of the hose is arranged in the lower region of the lever is.
  • the holding device comprises an actuating device with a holding section, the distance from the lever of which can be continuously adjusted and thereby locked.
  • the task of the holding device is to arrange the end of the hose with respect to the lever so that it can follow the movements of the lever. If the device is intended in particular for adults, then the distance between the outlet and the lever should be chosen larger, while for devices for children, if it is to be used, for example, in schools and kindergartens, the distance is chosen to be smaller.
  • the adjusting device has a sleeve that holds the outlet, the distance from which can be changed by means of a screw. It is particularly expedient here if the valve device is held by the sleeve.
  • the container regularly consists of a plastic bag which is welded and in which the medium is housed. The bag can be accommodated in the housing of the device, the hose defining the lower end of the bag and being firmly connected to the lever.
  • the pressure surface is part of a pressure body articulated on the lever.
  • This pressure body can be resiliently mounted on the lever.
  • An advantage of this measure is that only a certain pressure can be exerted on the hose, which, however, is less than the maximum spring pressure of the pressure body. If bags made of a thin-walled plastic are selected, the hose could be damaged if an inappropriately high pressure is exerted on this part of the bag.
  • Another expedient embodiment provides that the pressure part is part of a plate body, the relative position of which can be changed with respect to the lever. As a result, the pressure section can be provided as a means for determining the amount of medium to be dispensed.
  • the hose and the container are made in one piece and are made of the same material. This has the advantage that the emptied bag can be unhooked and replaced with a new one. In the context of this inventive concept, it is particularly expedient if the upper end of the hose is held by a carrier of the device.
  • FIG. 1 to 7 show a device for dispensing flowable media, for example soap, cleaning agent or the like, which are arranged in a container 10 with a valve 14 having a hose 14 made of elastically deformable material.
  • the device consists of a base body 8 and a housing 40 which can be detachably connected to the base body 8 by means of holding devices (not shown).
  • the base body 8 can be firmly connected to a wall 46 and has a support 42 with hooks 44 in the upper region.
  • the hooks 44 carry the container 10, which is designed as a bag and in which the medium 22 is accommodated.
  • the medium 22 can be liquid, pasty or also granular.
  • the lower end of the container 10 runs out into the hose 14, which carries a ring 6 in the transition region, which is supported on a support 32 of the base body 8.
  • the support 32 has a fuse 30 to ensure that the hose 14 does not come loose from the support 32 by itself.
  • the lever 20 is also articulated to this support 32 and carries a pressure surface 18 in the form of an articulated plate.
  • the hinge point 26 of the pressure surface 18 is arranged in the central region of the lever, while the other end of the body has a compression spring 24, by means of which the force acting on the hose 14 can be partially regulated.
  • the pressure section 16 is also formed by a plate which can be connected to the base body 8 in an articulated or fixed manner, but whose angle of inclination can be adjusted by means of a screw 23.
  • the angle of inclination ⁇ of the pressure section 16 It depends on the angle of inclination ⁇ of the pressure section 16 how much of the medium in the hose 14 is squeezed out.
  • the angle of inclination ⁇ is defined by the straight lines 13 and 15 which intersect above the lever 20. It can be set from 0 ° to 45 °, infinitely. Larger angles can also be set, but they are of less importance.
  • a holding device 36 In the area of the actuating section 2 of the lever 20, a holding device 36 is provided which holds the valve device 12 in place.
  • the outlet 48 of the hose 14 is located on the bottom side of the holding device 36.
  • the base body 8 has recesses 39 for the base body 8 engaging hook 43 and recesses 37 for the positioning body 41.
  • the vertical long sides of the base body 8 have incisions 33 and 35 in the upper and in the lower area, which can be detachably connected to projections of the housing 40.
  • the actuating section 2 has a rectangular recess 27 into which a projection 25 of the holding device 36 can be inserted.
  • the container 10 has in its upper, facing away from the hose 14 egg ne reinforcement section 9, which ensures that the container does not sag when e.g. is half full.
  • the device shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 shows that the base body 8 has two hooks 44, into which the container 10, which has two circular eyes 50, can be hung. In the lower area of the container 10, two eyes 52 are also provided, into which two mandrels 54 can be inserted.
  • the container 10 is therefore fixed at the end, so that the movement of the lever 20 has no effect on its position within the housing.
  • the lever 20 is designed in the form of a bracket with two legs 56 and 58, which have the actuating section 2 in their lower region. The legs 56 and 58 can be pivoted about the axis 60 and can assume the positions shown in FIGS. 5 to 7.
  • the legs 56 and 58 are cranked in their upper third in order to be able to attach the pivot axis 60 as far as possible in the region of the longitudinal central axis 62 of the hose.
  • the device can be made of plastic, the parts being able to be produced by injection molding.
  • valve device 12 which is preferably designed as a pressure relief valve. Which valve is used for which medium can be determined experimentally and then used will.
  • a pressure relief valve can expediently be used, while a slit diaphragm valve can advantageously be used in the case of granular material.
  • the lever 20 carries an adjusting device 3 which is vertically adjustable in the direction of the double arrow 21.
  • An approximately central and vertically extending slot 17 is formed in the lever 20 and is crossed by the head 19 with the rivet 19.
  • the rivet connects the actuating device 3 to the lever 20.
  • the actuating device is approximately U-shaped in cross-section, and its legs 45 and 47 have a plurality of steps 5 and 7, by means of which the distance of the pressure section 16 from the pressure surface 18 can be determined. If little medium is to be pressed out of the hose 14, the pressure section 16 is supported on the lowest step 5, while in the other case it is supported on the upper step 7.
  • the actuating device is easily accessible and can be actuated without the device having to be disassembled.
  • the advantages achieved by the invention are in particular that the user only comes into contact with the medium when he actuates the lever 20.
  • the hose 14 which is mechanically stressed when the lever 20 is actuated, is also replaced. Wear and inoperability of the lever can hardly be considered here, as it is clearly higher strength and hardness than the hose.
  • the hose is mechanically stressed, its damage is out of the question since it is replaced after a limited number of times the medium has been removed.
