Definitions

  • the invention relates to a dispensing device for flowable preparations according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the flowable preparation is contained in a container and is discharged from it by spraying, atomizing or by generating foam.
  • An insert fitted into the neck of the container and a screwed-on cap have specially designed means such as distributor elements and a mixing chamber and the conveying path to the outlet opening for one of the aforementioned types of discharge.
  • a dispensing device of this type is known, for example, from EP-A-0 133 983.
  • the insert specially designed for spraying or foaming which must be stuck in the container neck when the container is in use, must be removable therefrom.
  • the outlet opening is designed for spraying or for discharging the foam in the screw cap and the conveying path extends from the insert present in the container neck into this screw cap, the screw cap that is only to be refilled for refilling the container can be used with the aid of an inside on the Screw cap designed so-called refill cam, which engages under the insert edge slightly protruding outwards at the top of the container neck, to push the insert out of the container neck upwards.
  • the present invention was based on the object of providing a simple and inexpensive to produce dispensing device for flowable preparations, in which the container can be refilled and, for this purpose, the part closing the container on the one hand for use of the container even with overhead handling sits tightly enough and can be removed by hand.
  • the dispensing device comprises a container 1, of which only the part 2 designed as an articulated neck and the adjoining container neck 3 are shown in FIGS. 1-4.
  • a container 1 of which only the part 2 designed as an articulated neck and the adjoining container neck 3 are shown in FIGS. 1-4.
  • circumferential bending lines 4 are formed in the plastic material of the container starting from one side at different angles of inclination, which allow the entire container neck to be bent to one side, which is suitable for various applications, in particular when holding the container overhead Advantage is.
  • the principle is shown in Fig. 19.
  • the container neck 3 has an external thread 5 in the central part, which serves to screw on a screw cap 7 provided with an internal thread 6 (FIGS. 3 and 4).
  • a head piece 8 is placed on the container neck 3 above the thread 5.
  • the head piece 8 closes off the neck of the container and has two slot nozzles 9 as the outlet opening.
  • the outlet opening can also be designed differently: instead of the two slot nozzles 9 slightly inclined to the central axis of the container 1, for example a slot nozzle running essentially transversely to the central axis, a round or oval Nozzle or a nozzle forming a U-shaped slot can be provided, the cross section of the outlet opening being always the same regardless of the shape of the nozzle.
  • the head piece 8 is shown in axial section.
  • a groove-bead connection 10 is provided, specifically a circumferential bead 10 a is formed on the inside of the container neck 3, which extends into a circumferential groove 10 formed on a cylindrical part 11 of the head piece 8 b intervenes. Due to the sufficiently resilient plastic material of the parts, the tongue and groove connection engages when the headpiece is placed on the neck of the container and then sits firmly.
  • the head piece is expediently placed in the screw cap when it is put on and is taken along when the latter is unscrewed until the Headpiece snaps into place.
  • the groove 10 b and the bead 10 a are best seen.
  • the head piece 8 shown as an individual part in FIGS. 5-7 has the already mentioned cylindrical part 11 with the circumferential groove 10 b and a cylindrical part 12 of larger diameter which is integrally connected to it, as well as an integrally connected to the cylindrical part 11 and in Diameter smaller cup-shaped part 13, which projects beyond the two cylindrical parts 11 and 12 and has on its outer surface the two slot nozzles 9 or a differently shaped nozzle, as described above. All mentioned parts of the head piece 8 form a one-piece molded part. In the case of the head piece 8 placed on the container neck 3, the outer cylindrical part 12 encloses the container neck 3 on the outside.
  • a first inclined plane 15 is used, which is subsequently formed on the container neck 3 above the thread 5 and can best be seen in FIG. 8, and a further inclined plane 16, which is on the inside on the outer cylindrical part 12 of the head piece 8 is formed and which cooperates with the inclined plane 15.
  • the inclined planes 15 and 16 are each formed as a circumferential spiral, the inclined planes like the flanks one Threads lie on each other. It is also apparent from the figures mentioned that the inclined planes formed as a spiral extend over 360 degrees. The means that the starting point of the helix and the end point of the helix lie one above the other on a vertical line and this line coincides with the center line of the container 1 in FIGS. 1 and 3. This applies to the inclined plane 15 on the container neck 3 as well as for the inclined plane 16 on the head piece 8.
  • the two surfaces 17 and 18 form a stop for a rotational position of the head piece 8, in which the groove-bead connection 10 assumes the position preventing the axial mobility. Since the screw thread 5, 6 and the two coils 15, 16 have the same pitch, the head piece 8 can be brought into the correct position for the engagement of the groove-bead connection 10 by means of the screw cap 7.
  • the above-described dispensing device for a flowable medium is particularly advantageous if the outlet opening in the head piece is formed by the two relatively narrow slot nozzles 9, which are formed at a distance from one another, so that an angular region is irradiated with the emerging liquid.
  • the advantage is that the narrow slot nozzles consume significantly less liquid than is the case with the liquid containers of this type known to date.
  • a flat jet is generated by this slot nozzle, which is particularly due to the fact that the cup-shaped part 13 in the area of each slot nozzle 9 has an inwardly reinforced wall thickness, such as is particularly evident from FIGS. 5 and 7, so that the liquid jet is guided by this rib-like wall reinforcement.
  • the cup-shaped part 13 of the head piece 8 is enclosed by two sealing lips 7a projecting downwards on the screw cap 7 when the cap is screwed onto the container.
  • the principle with respect to holding the head piece on the container neck with the aid of a groove-bead connection and with respect to releasing the head piece with the help of inclined planes designed as a helix are exactly the same as in the first embodiment.
  • this embodiment is intended for discharging foam which is formed in the container when it is dispensed by foaming the contents by means of air pressure.
  • the head piece 8 which is otherwise of identical design, additionally has an insert 20 in the cup-shaped part 13, into which a riser pipe 21 opens, which extends through the container 1 to close to the bottom thereof, as can be seen in FIG. 19.
  • the container 1 has a support surface 30 projecting approximately into the center of the container, against which the riser pipe 21 bears in order to hold it approximately in the center of the container.
  • the special shape of the container 1 with a support surface 30 can be seen in FIGS. 13-18.
  • FIG. 16 shows a cross section through the container along the line BB in FIG. 13. From FIG. 16 it can be seen that the support surface 30 for the riser pipe 21 is formed by a constriction 31 of the container, ie in a section of the container are opposite one another Opposing wall parts of the container are shaped so that they lie opposite each other in the middle of the container.
  • the dispenser also has a child safety device to prevent the screw cap 7 from being easily unscrewed.
  • the container neck 3 below the thread 5 is not cylindrical but oval and has two cams 35 on the outside in the area with the larger diameter opposite one another with an inclined run-up slope.
  • the screw cap 7 has on the inside opposite each other a tooth 36 which, when the cap is screwed on, travels behind it due to the run-up slope of the cam, so that the screw cap can only be unscrewed when it is pressed together in a direction offset by 90 ° to the teeth to move the teeth away from the stop position against the cams so that the screw cap can then be turned.
