Definitions

  • the invention relates to a liquid dispenser for one in one Storage containers contain flowable medium, such as liquid soap od. Like. According to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a liquid dispenser is, for example, according to FR-A-2184086 known. What the liquid outlet channel and Internal closure relates, it is designed such that below its breechhead the breech body has a reduced diameter and radial ribs are arranged on this part are the several outlet channels axially oriented on the closure body limit. These channels form in the open position of the inner closure simultaneously the free inflow openings for the liquid soap from the storage container.
  • a such a container with such a closure works flawless, but is still in need of improvement, and with regard to the reusability of such containers, which are usually made of plastic and which, if known, so far and after emptying are simply thrown away.
  • the invention has for its object a liquid dispenser with its associated storage container of the generic type Art to improve in spite of the use an inner lock accessible for reuse can be made.
  • the inner closure can be easily for flushing and refilling with a simple auxiliary tool be pulled, which, provided with the appropriate thread, only with one or two courses in the open to the outside Screw in the sleeve to pull out the inner lock completely to be able to.
  • the embodiment according to claim 2 and following is preferred.
  • the aforementioned cork-like inner closure has the basic solution namely an internal thread.
  • the production such internal thread requires relatively complex Molds for injection molding to the relevant To be able to shape an object. Since it is the inner lock with this internal thread it is a mass article proved to be much more expedient that the inner closure is provided with an external thread and the holder with one with a smaller diameter in relation to its internal thread, with Spaced sleeve with the external thread of the inner closure adapted internal thread.
  • the effect of the automatic opening and closing of the inner lock is the same as with the basic one Solution, but the simple measure of arranging an external thread on the inner lock has the advantage that this part as Bulk items with much easier mold work producible and easier to mold from it, namely just like the external thread on the connection neck of the storage container.
  • the arrangement of two internal threads on the holder of the liquid dispenser or doseers is inevitable, on the other hand the liquid dispensers do not fall in large numbers and the effort required to do so is dependent on the cost seen here cheaper to cope with the dose than with the inner closure, which is a penny item should.
  • the upper edge of the sleeve is around a thread height arranged lower than the top of the holder and finally is centrally in the sleeve a star or in cross section cruciform, conical at the top and with respect to the Cross section of the liquid outlet channel in the inner closure slightly smaller alignment pin arranged the top Overhanging the edge of the holder.
  • liquid dispenser according to the invention is described below the graphic representation of exemplary embodiments explained in more detail.
  • the parts forming the liquid dispenser namely the liquid dispenser 4 and storage container 1 are only indicated by dashed lines, where the liquid dispenser consists of the one with a central opening pin 2 holder 3 of the bottle-shaped storage container 1 arranged overhead with an externally threaded 5 connecting neck 6 in which a cork-like inner closure 7 is arranged in the connection neck 6 from its closed position to the open position slidably mounted and on the inner closure 7 below his Closure head 8 at least one exempt in the open position Opening 9 is arranged, which in the holder 3 Liquid outlet channel 10 connects.
  • the liquid dispenser it is essential with reference to Fig.
  • FIGS. 2A, B and 3 differs from the above essentially only differs in that the thread 11 one the opening pin 2 forming sleeve 2 'of the holder 3 an internal thread and the thread 11 'of the inner closure 7 has a corresponding external thread is.
  • the threads 5, 5 ' have a pitch, compared to the threads 11, 11 'essentially by Is twice to three times larger.
  • the upper edge 12 of the sleeve 2 ' arranged lower by a thread pitch than the upper edge 13 of the holder 3.
  • the distance A between the sleeve 2 'and the holder 3 must be so dimensioned be that the connection neck 6 of the storage container 1 with Match between sleeve 2 'and holder 3 fits.
  • FIGS. 2, 3 it is advantageous to be centric in the sleeve 2 'a star-shaped or cross-shaped in cross section, conical at the upper end and in relation to the cross section of the liquid outlet channel 10 'in the inner closure 7 slightly smaller alignment pin 13 arranged, the overhangs the upper edge 13 of the holder 3. Since the inner lock 7 only sits with its locking head 7 'in the connecting neck 6, the always exactly coaxial fit to the connection neck 6 not always guaranteed is guaranteed, the alignment pin 13 with its as shown conical end when screwing in or already when placing the connection neck 6 an axial alignment of the Inner closure 7 and thus a functional intervention of the external thread 11 'into the internal thread 11 of the sleeve 2'.
  • the star-shaped or cross-shaped cross-sectional formation of the alignment pin 13 is necessary to make outlet passages for the liquid to create the in the open position (Fig. 2B) from the Storage container 1 through the exposed openings 9 in this Passages 14 arrives.
  • Such an alignment pin 13 is in the embodiment of Fig. 1A-1C not necessary because there the inner closure with axial ribs 15 guided centrally over a relatively large length is between which ribs 15 are in this embodiment the outlet passages 10 'are located.
