Description
Die in Haushalt und Büro vielseitig anwendbaren Klebstoffe in Form von aus einem schützenden Außengehäuse herausdrehbaren Stiften sind an ihrem einen Ende in eine Haltevorrichtung eingegossen. Diese kann beispielsweise aus einer auch als "Körbchen" bezeichneten Mutter bestehen, welche hohl ausgebildet ist, um die Klebstoffmasse aufzunehmen und diese beim Erstarren mittels an der Außenwand der Mutter angebrachter, ringförmiger Halterillen zu verankern. Außerdem weist die erwähnte Mutter eine zentrale zylindrische Ausnehmung auf, welche innenseitig über ein Gewinde verfügt, das in eine Gewindespindel eingreift, wodurch sich der Klebestift zum Gebrauch aus dem schützenden Außengehäuse heraus- und nach Gebrauch wieder hineindrehen läßt, so daß einem Austrocknen der Gelstruktur der Klebemasse entgegengewirkt wird.The versatile adhesives in home and office Form of rotatable from a protective outer housing Pins are at one end in a holder cast. This can also, for example, from a "Basket" designated mother exist, which are hollow is to take up the adhesive mass and this at Freeze by means of anchor ring-shaped retaining grooves. In addition, the mentioned mother on a central cylindrical recess, which has a thread on the inside that fits into a Threaded spindle engages, causing the glue stick to Use out of the protective outer casing and after Let use screw in again, so that drying out the gel structure of the adhesive is counteracted.
Alternativ kann die Haltevorrichtung auch auf der Seite der Klebemasse einseitig mit Borsten besetzt sein, deren Zwischenraume mit der Klebstoffmasse ausgegossen sind, so daß diese durch die infolge der großen Oberfläche der Borsten entstehenden Adhäsionskräfte in der Haltevorrichtung fixiert wird. Alternatively, the holding device can also be on the side of the Adhesive be covered on one side with bristles, the Spaces are poured out with the adhesive mass, so that this due to the large surface area of the bristles arising adhesion forces fixed in the holding device becomes.
Je mehr Klebstoff verbraucht worden ist, desto weiter muß die Mutter mit eingesetztem Klebestift heraus- und anschließend wieder hineingedreht werden.The more adhesive has been used, the further the Remove the nut with the glue stick inserted and then be screwed back in.
Wenn die Klebstoffmasse vollständig verbraucht ist, so muß das komplette Außengehäuse des Klebestiftes zusammen mit der Gewindespindel und der Haltevorrichtung entsorgt werden, da eine Erneuerung der Klebstoffmasse bei den handelsüblichen Ausführungsformen derartiger Klebestifte nicht vorgesehen ist.If the adhesive mass is completely used up, it must the complete outer casing of the glue stick together with the Threaded spindle and the holding device can be disposed of because a renewal of the adhesive mass in the commercial ones Embodiments of such glue sticks are not provided is.
Als wesentliche Nachteile derartiger bekannter Klebestifte sollten insbesondere folgende Aspekte Erwähnung finden:The main disadvantages of such known glue sticks The following aspects should be mentioned in particular:
Nach vollständigem Verbrauch der Klebemasse muß jeweils das komplette Außengehäuse des Klebestiftes zusammen mit der Gewindespindel und der Haltevorrichtung entsorgt werden, da, wie erwähnt, eine Erneuerung der Klebstoffmasse bei den dem oben wiedergegebenen Stand der Technik entsprechenden Ausführungsformen derartiger Klebestifte nicht vorgesehen ist. Da indes derartige handelsübliche Klebestifte aus Gebrauchskunststoffen wie Polyethylen, Polypropylen oder Polystyrol bestehen, ist die Notwendigkeit dieser Totalentsorgung nicht nur ein beachtlicher Kostenfaktor, der den Endverbraucher erheblich belastet, sondern darüberhinaus ist eine derartige Praxis natürlich auch ökologisch keineswegs unproblematisch.After complete consumption of the adhesive, that must be done complete outer casing of the glue stick together with the Threaded spindle and the holding device are disposed of, because as mentioned, a renewal of the adhesive mass in the Embodiments corresponding to the prior art reproduced above such glue sticks is not provided. There however, such commercial glue sticks made of consumer plastics such as polyethylene, polypropylene or polystyrene exist, the need for this total disposal is not just a considerable cost factor affecting the end user considerably burdened, but moreover is such Practice, of course, is by no means environmentally unproblematic.

The holding device (1) is covered with bristles (3), by means of which the adhesive is fixed in the holding device (1). The holding device (1) is connected to the cartridge sleeve (8) by means of six thin plastic ribs (4) such that the holding device (1) and the cartridge sleeve (8) together form a single molded part. In the refill cartridge, three guide webs (5) are attached in an arrangement that corresponds to the arrangement of the corresponding guide webs (12) in the original glue stick sleeve (14) (cf. FIG. 5). The locking lug (2) (see also FIG. 2) attached to the foot end (16) of the holding device (1) ensures that the three grooves (9) of the holding device (1) are always aligned at the beginning of the refilling process in such a way that they are exactly over the guide bars (12) in the original glue stick sleeve (14). The holding device (1) has a central internal thread (6) into which the threaded spindle (13) of the original glue stick sleeve (14) can engage after the refill cartridge has been placed on the original glue stick sleeve (14) (cf. also Fig. 5 ). At the upper and lower end of the cartridge sleeve (8) there is an annular surface (7) which serves to seal the two ends of the refill cartridge with the aid of sealing foils to be attached to it. The stop (10) in cooperation with the stop (11) in the foot part of the original glue stick (14) (see FIG. 5) prevents the threaded spindle (13) of the original glue stick (14), or the central internal thread (6) when the holding device (1) is in the lowest possible position. Two stops (10) and two stops (11) are advantageously provided. Fig. 2 shows a plan view of the cartridge sleeve (8) according to the invention, or a holding device (1) according to the invention. In particular, the locking lug (2) is shown, which ensures that the three grooves (9) of the holding device (1) at the beginning of Refill process are always aligned so that they are exactly over the guide bars (12) in the sleeve of the original glue stick (14), as well as the six plastic ribs (4) already mentioned in the figure, designed as predetermined breaking points, and also the guide bars (5) which correspond to the corresponding guide webs (12) in the original glue stick sleeve (14).
FIG. 3 shows a detailed view of the
Fig. 4 shows an elevation view of the refill cartridge according to the invention in the long shot and a corresponding floor plan. In particular, the guide webs (5), the arrangement of which corresponds to the corresponding arrangement of the guide webs (12) in the original glue stick sleeve (14), and the stop 10 (cf. the markings "C" in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 ), in cooperation with the stop (11) in the foot part of the original glue stick (14) (see Fig. 5) the overtightening of the threaded spindle (13) of the original glue stick (14), or the central internal thread (6 ) of the holding device (1) is prevented when the holding device (1) is in the lowest position. In addition, the two ring surfaces (7) are shown, each of which is formed at the upper and lower end of the cartridge sleeve (8) and which are used to seal the two ends of the refill cartridge with the aid of sealing foils to be attached thereto.
Fig. 5 shows an elevation of the cartridge sleeve (8) according to the invention placed on an original glue stick (14) and the corresponding floor plan. The central threaded spindle (13) of the original glue stick sleeve (14) engages in the internal thread (6) of the holding device (1), causing the plastic ribs (4) (see FIGS. 1 and 2) to break and the holding device (1 ) is released for displacements in the vertical direction, which can be made by turning the threaded spindle (13). The original glue stick (14) can thus be refilled with the adhesive to be removed from the cartridge sleeve (8) and used further, the stick-like adhesive being firmly anchored in the holding device (1).
Figure 6 shows the transport insert with a central pin (15) which engages from the foot part (16) of the refill cartridge sleeve (8) according to the invention in the central recess of the holding device (1), so that the central pin has a central recess in the filling of the adhesive Adhesive forms, into which the rotating spindle can run from the original sleeve to be refilled.
