Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pump device for a flowable, in particular pasty and / or liquid product and a dispenser with such a pump device.
  • the pump device and the dispenser are in particular for pumping or storing and dispensing a product for personal care and / or cleaning, for example intended for skin care.
  • the product can, for example, be pasty and consist of a paste or cream.
  • the product can also consist of a liquid, for example a liquid sunscreen or a liquid soap, all intermediate states between pasty and liquid being possible.
  • German utility model 8 518 670 discloses a dispenser for dispensing a toothpaste with two components, namely with a main component and with an additional substance used to form colored stripes.
  • the dispenser has a tubular container with a false ceiling and a jacket in which a piston is slidably guided. This forms the lower limit of a main storage containing the main component of the toothpaste.
  • the container also serves as a support for a pumping device which, above the false ceiling, has a dome-shaped pumping element connected to it, consisting of an elastically deformable membrane and provided in the central area of the dome with a thickening serving to reinforce it, which together with the false ceiling delimits a pumping chamber .
  • the false ceiling is provided with a pivoting valve flap that connects the main accumulator to the pump chamber Provide inlet valve.
  • the pump chamber is connected via an approximately horizontal passage and an outlet valve, which has a pivotable valve flap, to an outlet which is arranged next to the pump element at an edge point of the false ceiling and is formed by a connecting piece and is approximately rectangular in cross section. On both sides of the nozzle serving as an outlet there are two arched storage spaces for the additional substance.
  • Each of the two additional substance stores is each connected to the outlet hole delimited by the outlet connector via an opening in the side walls of the outlet connector.
  • Each of the two additional substance stores is limited at the bottom by an elastically deformable base, which is provided with two check valves each having a flap.
  • One of these two check valves enables paste to pass from the pumping chamber into the relevant additional substance store.
  • the other check valve in the bottom of each of the two additional substance stores connects the relevant additional substance store to the main store.
  • the additional substance is first filled into the two additional substance stores with a press through the main store and the check valves connecting these to the additional substance store.
  • the paste serving as the main component is then poured into the main reservoir from below and the latter is closed off with the piston.
  • a person uses the dispenser they temporarily press the dome-shaped pump organ against the resilience generated by its elasticity against the false ceiling of the container.
  • paste present in the pumping chamber is pressed into the outlet and through it outwards.
  • the check valves connecting the pump chamber to the additional substance stores are opened, so that paste from the pump chamber into the additional substance store is also opened is pressed into it. This paste then in turn presses the additional substance stored in the latter into the outlet.
  • the pump organ bulges again due to its elasticity, with paste being sucked into the pump chamber from the main store.
  • the dispenser known from the German utility model 8 518 670 has various disadvantages and would be particularly unsuitable for dispensing a product used for skin care.
  • the outlet consisting of a nozzle contains a relatively large amount of the pasty product which is exposed to air until the next time the dispenser is used.
  • air contact can have a very negative effect on products used for skin care and can also cause the outlet to become blocked as a result of the product drying out.
  • the users of pasty skin care products are used to removing them from a can or potty-shaped container with a finger, so that pushing the product out of a nozzle is undesirable and disadvantageous.
  • the mixing ratio of the two components can therefore change undesirably over the course of the donor's period of use. Because of the complicated way around the different corners of the product components pumped out of the different stores and because the piston is arranged below the paste present in the main store and when emptying the main store contrary to its own weight and especially from If the weight of the paste above it has to be shifted upwards, pumping out the product also requires a lot of force. Furthermore, the known dispenser is complicated and accordingly expensive.
  • the membrane tends to bulge depending on the pressure point not only on the pen but also on other points away from the pressure point, so that the volume of the pumping chamber may not decrease to the intended extent and accordingly not the intended one Amount of the product is pressed out of the pumping chamber and then sucked into the pumping chamber when the membrane is released.
  • the invention has for its object to overcome disadvantages of the known pumping devices and dispensers.
  • a pump device and a dispenser with an outlet hole which has only a small volume and enables a person to create the dispensed product with at least one finger similar to a can-shaped one, are to be created Wipe container.
  • the pumping device and the dispenser should allow the largest possible portion of the product to be dispensed and be able to be produced inexpensively.
  • the pump device can have only a single pump chamber.
  • the pump device can also have two or possibly even more pump chambers arranged next to one another, each of which is connected via an inlet valve to an associated memory of the dispenser for separate storage of various components of the product to be dispensed. These various components can be fed to the common outlet hole in a predetermined mixing ratio when the pumping gear of the pump device is actuated, and can be mixed with one another before and / or in this.
  • the disk connected to the membrane and together forming the outlet valve preferably covers at least that in a plan view of the membrane - ie in plan view most - ie at least 50% - and even better at least 60% or even at least 80% of the area of the or each pumping chamber.
  • the pumping chamber and the disk can have a circular outline.
  • the diameter of the disk can then preferably be at least 80% and for example even at least or approximately 90% of the inner diameter of the pump chamber.
  • At least one other disk may possibly be connected to the membrane.
  • the disk used to form the outlet valve can then be arranged, for example, eccentrically to the center of the membrane in an incision or in an opening on the other, larger side. In this case, the aforementioned conditions for the area covered by the disk and the diameter of the disk can then be met by the entirety of the disks connected to the membrane.
  • the or each disk connected to the membrane is preferably generally dimensionally stable and in particular at least at most of its side or surface facing the membrane - i.e. at least 50% of their surface area taken up in a plan view of the membrane and thus for example in the floor plan - stiffer than the membrane.
  • the or each disk is preferably even stiffer than the membrane everywhere - at least with the exception of at least one small disk section serving as a spring or flexible joint.
  • the disk should preferably be more rigid than the membrane, in particular in an area, against which the membrane rests when the outlet valve is closed and which, in a plan view of the membrane, encloses the outlet hole and / or valve hole thereof.

  • the plate 13a has on its upper side a groove 13f running along its edge and somewhat inside of it an axially upwardly projecting, hollow cylindrical, annular collar 13g, the edge of which is rounded on the outside.
  • a dimensionally stable retaining ring 15 is delimited on the outside and inside by a cylinder surface in each case and has a groove 15a on the outside and an extension 15b on the inside.
  • the upper, thicker end section of the retaining ring 15 is for the most part in the extension 5f and lies with the shoulder surface formed by its throat 15a on the shoulder surface formed by the extension 5f of the can 5.
  • the lower, thinner end portion of the retaining ring 15 protrudes into the throat 13f of the plate 13a.
  • the plate 13a is rigidly and tightly connected to the retaining ring 15, for example by ultrasonic welding, which in turn is rigidly and tightly connected to the casing 5b of the can 5, for example by ultrasonic welding.

With the latter and on the outer edge, the disc has an upwardly projecting, coaxial collar for sliding guiding and sealing of the piston.
  • the collar located at the outer edge is provided at its upper end with some incisions distributed over its circumference, which serve as air passages. In its initial position shown in FIG. 1, the piston can rest on the plate 13a with both collars.
  • a one-piece, soft, elastic body 25 has as its main component a disk-shaped membrane 25a which is flat in the undeformed state of rest and rests on the upper side of the plate 13a and has at least one valve hole and preferably several, for example two valve holes 25c.

  • the dispenser 1 also has a cover 41 with an internal thread 41c which can be screwed onto the external thread 5c of the can 5. When screwed on, the cover 41 closes the can 5 and thus the entire container 3 at least approximately gas-tight.

  • the parts used to form the solid wall of the container 3 - ie the can 5, the support 13, and the retaining ring 15 - and also the disk 35 and the cover 41 consist of reasonably hard and dimensionally stable, thermoplastic material.
  • These parts and in particular the support 13 and the disk 35 can be at least 1000 MPa and for example have a modulus of elasticity of at least 2000 MPa and contain, for example, polypropylene or polystyrene as the basic and main constituent or a copolymer of one of these plastics, such as polystyrene acrylonitrile.

  • the disk 35 is stiffer in the area of its entire side or surface facing the membrane than the membrane 33a and is therefore at least dimensionally stable in comparison to the latter.
  • the piston 17 consists of a plastic whose modulus of elasticity lies approximately between that of the parts forming the wall of the container and that of the membranes 25a, 33a and is, for example, approximately 600 to 1000 MPa.
  • the parts of the dispenser 1 are preferably all made by injection molding.
  • the essentially dimensionally stable body 13 and the essentially dimensionally stable disc 35 are first cast.
  • the soft, elastic bodies 25 and 33 forming the membranes 25a, 33a are poured onto the Support 13 or on the disc 35.

  • the pump member 31 consisting of the body 33 and the disk 35 can be clamped to the support 13 forming the plate 13a with the aid of the holding ring 15 and the holding ring 15 can be firmly connected to the plate 13a, for example by ultrasonic welding.
  • the cover 41 is screwed on.
  • the disk 35 When the pumping device 11 is in the idle state shown in FIG. 1, the disk 35 is parallel to the plate 13a and - when the dispenser is arranged upright - like this horizontally.
  • the membrane 25a then lies up to the collar 13g and thus in particular in the area of the plate 13a enclosed by the connection area 13d, so that the inlet valve 27 is closed.
  • the membrane 25a lies close to the surface of the disk 35 facing it and in particular to its surface area enclosed by the connection area 35d.
  • the cam 35a protrudes into the outlet and / or valve hole 33c, so that the outlet valve 37 is closed.
  • the membrane 33a can in particular be elastically deformed, namely bent and stretched, in an annular deformation region which is located between the outer boundary of the connecting means 33d and the cylindrical edge section 33h. If a person wants to remove pasty product from the dispenser, he first removes the cover 41, tears away the cover film covering the membrane 33a until the dispenser is used for the first time, and then presses on manually from the surroundings and from above, ie with at least one finger a pressure point of the diaphragm 33a located in the area of the pane 35 and next to the outlet and / or valve hole 33c - approximately at its center - on this.
  • said restoring force brings the inner part of the membrane 33a and the disk 35 back into the rest position, so that the pump organ returns to the idle state.
  • the inner pump part is depressed, the pasty product contained in the pump chamber is pressurized to open the outlet valve 37.
  • the area of the membrane 33a enclosed by the connecting means 33d in the floor plan is elastically deformed and bulges through the pasty product in the manner shown schematically in FIG.
