Definitions

  • the invention relates to a dispenser for pasty masses with a housing in which a piston which can only be displaced in the emptying direction and can be supported in the opposite direction by a ratchet against the inner wall of the housing is arranged and which is used to displace a portion of the mass to be dispensed by one stroke each Compressible push button has or can be depressed head part, the push button being arranged laterally next to the head part and this having a central valve which can be opened or closed by actuating the push button.
  • a dispenser of this type is known from EP 0 282 791 B1.
  • a portion of the mass to be dispensed is displaced from the contents of the housing by a stroke of the pushbutton with simultaneous opening of a valve arranged centrally in the head part and emerges from a concave wall of the head part designed as an application surface.
  • a vacuum is created in the level column below the head part that straightens up again, which pulls the piston in the direction of emptying.
  • the portion of pasty mass displaced by actuating the deformable head part is added for the next dispensing operation.
  • the known dispenser is consequently filled with the dispenser head pointing downward.
  • the initial area of the housing inner wall is designed with longitudinal grooves so that air trapped between the piston and the filling material can escape.
  • a dispenser for pasty masses is also known, with a piston which is displaceably arranged in the dispenser housing, migrates in the discharge direction and is blocked in the opposite direction, and with a pushbutton actuation on a bellows-type compressible head piece, with this a pull rod penetrating the piston is coupled.
  • the pull rod is coupled to the piston with the interposition of an axial free passage in the head piece.
  • the headpiece has a channel-shaped dispenser mouthpiece opening, the mouth of which can be closed with a stopper for storage. This stopper is removed when the dispenser is opened, after which the mouthpiece opening remains unlocked for further withdrawals.
  • the invention has for its object to further develop and improve a dispenser for pasty masses of the type mentioned in such a way that the disadvantages and difficulties mentioned are overcome and in particular none subsequent leakage of mass can take place after actuation, that the displaced portion of mass is safely brought in without damage, even from small air pockets, and that the dispenser can be manufactured and assembled inexpensively using simple structural means.
  • valve and the piston are coupled by a pull rod axially penetrating the housing and cooperate with each other with each stroke of the push button.
  • the valve is opened when the pushbutton is actuated and on the other hand a predetermined portion of mass is brought out of the valve opening through the opened valve and made available.
  • the valve closes, and the head part, which straightens up again to its relaxed shape, pulls the piston so far over the pull rod that it replenishes the dispensed mass regardless of a more or less large suction.
  • the clearance of the tie rod connection in the head part produces a shorter stroke of the piston compared to a relatively larger actuation stroke when the shape of the head part changes.
  • the Tension rod in the head part has a holder in the form of a perforated radial disc, with which it is gripped in a guide cylinder of the head part with little axial clearance from the lower edge of the guide cylinder and is held so that it can be clipped in, and with its end part with the interposition of an internal locking mechanism present on the piston crown the piston can be coupled.
  • the pull rod can thus be clipped into the guide cylinder and inserted through the piston without any assembly effort.
  • the dispenser for pasty masses shown in FIG. 1 has a housing (1) in which a piston (30) is arranged, which can only be moved in the emptying direction and supported in the opposite direction by a locking mechanism (31) against the inner wall (2) of the housing (1) is.
  • the latter has elastic sealing lips (34) that seal in both directions on its outer circumference in the usual way.
  • the dispenser has a head part (3) which can be pressed together or depressed by a stroke of a pushbutton (4), the pushbutton (4) being arranged laterally next to the head part (3) and pressing the pushbutton (4) openable or closable, in the middle arranged shut-off valve (5).
  • the head part (3) can be covered by a cap (23) which can be assigned to the dispenser.
  • the valve (5) and the piston (30) are coupled by means of a pull rod (25) which axially penetrates the housing (1) and cooperates with each other when the pushbutton (4) is lifted.
  • the interaction is achieved in that the pull rod (25) is held by a holder (26) in the form of a perforated radial disk in a guide cylinder (6) of the valve body (7) with little axial clearance and with its, the piston (30) facing End part (28) with the interposition of a locking mechanism (32) present on the piston crown (33) is non-positively coupled to the piston (30).
  • the housing cover (18) is pressed down and displaces a predetermined portion of the filling compound in the direction of the closing valve (5).
  • the housing cover (18) is designed to be very elastic in the manner of a membrane with a relatively thin wall thickness, so that it yields under the pressure of the pushbutton (4) and practically performs a "pump stroke".
  • the valve mechanism is activated and the valve (5) opens by the head part (3) connected to the housing cover (18) with the funnel-shaped discharge (19) and the discharge tube (12) arranged thereon within the cap (11) of the Applicator (10), as can be seen from the enlarged representation of Figures 1a and 3, slides down in the direction of arrow (24) and thereby releases the valve plug (14) from its closed position in the valve opening (8) and releases it.
  • the housing (1) forms a neck (9) with a reduced diameter on the upper area, which receives the applicator (10), said neck having a cylindrical cap (11) which is provided with a valve opening (8) and can be opened downwards, in which a tube (12), which first extends upward from the head part (3) and forms part of the valve (5), slides axially displaceably and carries a valve plug (14) at its tip on star-shaped arms (13).
  • the tube (12) is designed with an annular, elastic sealing bead (50), as is better can be seen from Figure 3. This seal could alternatively be formed with a highly elastic sealing lip or with an O-ring.
  • the applicator (10) has a lateral opening (15) within which the pushbutton (4) is arranged, said pushbutton (4) being movably articulated on the gusset-like ribs (16) formed inside the applicator (10). Furthermore, the pushbutton (4) has on its outside a stop bead (17) designed as a stroke limiting element. This sits on the outer edge of the recess (15) and in this way limits the stroke. This prevents the housing cover (18) from being deformed too much and thus being overstretched or overstressed.
  • the pull rod (25) protrudes into the discharge (19) and is thus extended upwards over the holder (26). At the extended end it carries a centering plate (27). This has a valve function, by pressing the Housing cover (18) first reduced an annular gap with respect to the discharge (19) and then blocked, whereby the amount of filling material escaping during the working stroke of the key (4) is limited.
  • the centering plate (27) and the pull rod (25) are each designed as an independent molded part and the two parts can be joined together by plugging on. The assembly of both parts - as is common in the mass production of small parts - can then be carried out inexpensively using automatic assembly machines.
  • the dispenser has an advantageous embodiment in that the pull rod (25) is provided with a corrugation (29) in an area just below the neck (9) of the housing (1). If the piston (30) slides over this corrugation (29) shortly before the final emptying, a clicking noise is caused, which indicates that the dispenser is about to be emptied.
  • the very advantageous embodiment shown in Figure 1 also provides that the housing (1) with stand base (20), storage cylinder (21), neck (9), cover (18) and head part (3) consists in one piece of medium-hard thermoplastic material. This simplifies assembly, reduces the number of parts belonging to the dispenser assembly and enables very economical production in large quantities.
  • the more highly stressed elements of the dispenser such as the piston (30), applicator (10), pushbutton (4), assignable cap (23) and the pull rod (25), on the other hand, can consist of a comparatively hard thermoplastic material.
  • Figure 1a shows the top of the dispenser in an enlarged view, from which the assignments of the aforementioned elements can be seen better. All elements are provided with reference numerals corresponding to FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 2 shows the dispenser in a side view, from which the shape of the applicator (10), which can be recognized, for example, by a transparent cap, can be seen.
  • valve plug (14) which tapers conically at both ends, is suitable for achieving a hermetic seal of the valve opening (8) with a low axial sealing force.
  • the valve plug (14) is moved downward and releases the valve opening (8).
  • the valve arrangement is uncomplicated, expedient and suitable for inexpensive manufacture.
  • FIG 4 shows a slightly different embodiment of the dispenser.
  • the housing (1) is open at the top and forms an annular groove (35) with an inward diameter and open at the top and a collar (36) with a clip groove (37) on the outside.
  • the head part (3) has a dome-shaped attachment (38) which can be inserted into the annular groove (35) and has a flange (39) which overlaps the annular groove (35) and which is separated from an inner flange (40) of the collar (36).
  • clip-on applicator (10) is held.
  • This version also shows a corrugation (29) on the piston rod (25).
  • the head part of the piston (30) is Dome-shaped in accordance with the dome-shaped design of the attachment (38) in a compatible design, whereby an almost complete emptying of the filling content of the dispenser is achieved.
  • the remaining elements of the head part (3) with the valve body (7) and further elements correspond to the design and arrangement according to FIG. 1.
  • Figure 5 shows a section of the plane (VV) in Fig. 4, the tie rod holder (26) in the form of a perforated disc within the guide cylinder (6), the arrangement of the push button (4) and the applicator (10) and also the housing with the open annular groove (35) only partially indicated for reasons of clarity.
  • Figure 6 shows a side view of a dispenser with the cap removed and a double push button (4 ', 4'') designed as a child safety device.
  • the element (4 '') in the part (4 ') is axially telescopically displaced against the pressure of a spring in the locked state, as shown in FIG. 6, and lies on the edge (47) of the opening (15) of the applicator (10). In this state, it is not possible to depress the actuation button (4 ', 4'') for the working stroke. For this purpose, the part (4 '') must be pushed telescopically into the part (4 ') against the pressure of a return spring in the direction of the arrow (48).
  • Figure 10 shows another version of the child lock.
  • the dispenser has a locking ring (46) on the housing (1). This is designed in cooperation with the push button (4) so that it only releases the push button (4) in a certain position and recognizable by markings (44) if they match.
