Definitions

  • Known devices of the type mentioned have a container for holding a flowable content which is to be discharged as such in various ways, for example by spraying, atomizing or by producing foam.
  • the container has an insert fitted into the container neck and a cap screwed onto the container neck, the means, such as mixing chamber and distributor elements, and the conveying path to an outlet opening being specially designed for one of the aforementioned discharge types in the container insert and in the cap can be present.
  • a pump that can be operated by hand or by motor can also be provided to discharge the contents.
  • the invention was therefore based on the object of providing a device in which the parts interacting with a refill cam are arranged at a more suitable location and are designed in such a way that they are not exposed to any risk of their effectiveness being reduced by incorrect manipulation, for example by excessive force being exerted. This should be possible with little manufacturing effort.
  • This object is achieved by the features of the characterizing part of claim 1.
  • Preferred embodiments of the invention have the features of the dependent claims.
  • the container 1 shown in FIG. 1 only with its upper part has a container neck 2 which is provided with an external thread 3 and which carries a cap 5 provided with an internal thread 4 which can be screwed onto the external thread 3. With a so-called push-pull closure, the cap has no thread.
  • the cap 5 can be moved between a closed position according to FIG. 1 and an open position according to FIG. 2 by screwing in the axial direction.
  • the cap 5 also has an outlet opening 6, from which foam emerges in the present example when the container 1 made of flexible plastic material is compressed by hand according to FIG. 2, so that the air above the foamable liquid contained in the container 1 is below the effect of the resulting pressure with the liquid together creates foam.
  • Insert 7 relates, which is suitable for atomizing or spraying a liquid.
  • the Generate pressure to discharge the contents using a hand operated pump In the case of a container that cannot be compressed, the Generate pressure to discharge the contents using a hand operated pump.
  • the invention relates to any type of container, in the container neck 2 an insert 7 is arranged. In the case of a liquid container, this is connected to a riser pipe 8 for the liquid which extends into the interior of the container. If the contents are pasty, the riser is not required.
  • differently designed conveying paths are available for the different types of discharge by spraying or foaming. It is important that the insert has the same design on the outer circumference in each embodiment.
  • the area encircled in FIG. 2 is shown as a detail in FIG. 3 on a larger scale.
  • the externally essentially cylindrical insert 7 is fitted into the container neck 2 and has at the upper end an end flange 9 which projects radially outward beyond the container neck 2 and with which the insert 7 rests on the end face 10 of the container neck 2.
  • the otherwise cylindrical inside of the container neck 11 has a radially inwardly projecting bead 12 and the outside 13 of the insert 7 has a groove 14 which cooperates with the bead 12 and into which the bead 12 engages, so that this groove Bead connection 12, 14 forms a lock against pulling out of the insert 7 in the axial direction.
  • a cam 15 which is formed radially inwards in the direction of the container neck 2, is arranged on the inside of the screwable cap.
  • This so-called refill cam 15 engages behind the above End flange 9 of the insert 7, so that when the cap 5 is screwed in the opening direction, the insert 7 is carried along in the axial direction, the lock consisting of the bead 12 and the groove 14 being overcome because the plastic material used for all parts can yield resiliently .
  • the groove-bead connection 12, 14 in a container intended for reuse has a height, measured in the radial direction, of the bead 12 engaging in the groove 14, which is smaller than the corresponding radial height of the groove-bead.
  • Connection 12, 14 in a container to be excluded from reuse has a height, measured in the radial direction, of the bead 12 engaging in the groove 14, which is smaller than the corresponding radial height of the groove-bead.
  • This lock 12, 14 therefore acts only to a limited extent and, depending on the dimensioning of the bead 12, can be overcome if the insert 7 is intended for a container 1 which is to be refillable, for which purpose the insert 7 is removed from the container neck got to.
  • the lock cannot be overcome if a bead 12 with a larger dimension in the radial dimension is provided in a container which should not be refillable.
  • the difference in the dimensioning of the bead 12 is not very great, for example, in the case of a refillable container, the bead 12 stands 0.2 mm above the cylindrical inside of the container neck 11 inwards and, in the case of a non-refillable container, it projects 0.4 mm beyond this inside.
  • the bead 12 has an optionally differently sized diameter for two different types of containers 1, one of which can be refilled and the other cannot be refilled.
  • the lock formed by the groove-bead connection 12, 14 can only be overcome with the smaller-sized bead 12.
  • the cam 15 on the cap 5 is also designed such that it tears off in the presence of a larger-sized bead 12, so that the barrier formed by the bead 12 and the groove 14 cannot be overcome and the insert 7 thus remains in the container neck 2. The container can therefore not be refilled and, as the manufacturer intended, has become unusable.
  • a small annular bead 16 formed between the end flange 9 and the groove 14 on the insert 7 and pressed into the container neck 2 serves to achieve absolute tightness between the insert and the container neck, because the liquid contained in the container can get between them.
  • the bead 12 can also be formed on the insert 7 and the groove 14 reversed on the container neck 2. Every possible embodiment of such a lock guarantees that a container of the type described here is no longer used if this has to be excluded for one of the reasons mentioned at the beginning.
