Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Spender für rieselfähige Produkte wie Granulate bzw. Pellets mit einem das Produkt aufnehmenden Vorratsbehälter mit einem Hals und einer daran anordenbaren Austragseinrichtung mit einem Spenderorgan.The invention relates to a dispenser for pourable products such as granules or pellets with a product receiving reservoir with a neck and an attachable thereto discharge with a donor organ.
Bekannte Spender für rieselfähige Produkte wie Salz- oder Pfefferstreuer besitzen üblicherweise keine Einrichtung zum Dosieren des Streugutes. Das Dosieren wird der Geschicklichkeit und Handhabung des Benutzers überlassen. Andererseits sind beim Stand der Technik beispielsweise aus dem Straßenwetterdienst sogenannte Drehteller - Streuvorrichtungen für Granulate bzw. Pellets oder Salz mit dosierbaren Austragsvorrichtungen sowie Zellenradschleusen bekannt. Weiterhin sind speziell in der Medizin Dosierspender für Pillen oder Tabletten bekannt, die bei Betätigung jeweils nur eine Pille oder Tablette austragen und bevorzugt für Einhandbedienung ausgebildet sind.Known dispensers for free-flowing products such as salt or pepper shakers usually have no means for metering the material to be spread. The dosing is left to the skill and handling of the user. On the other hand, in the prior art, for example, from the road weather service so-called turntable - scattering devices for granules or pellets or salt with metered discharge devices and rotary valves are known. Furthermore, dosing dispensers for pills or tablets are known, especially in medicine, which discharge only one pill or tablet when actuated and are preferably designed for one-hand operation.
Aus der amerikanischen Patentschrift 4,832,235 ist eine kompakte Messvorrichtung für Würzmittel bekannt, um unterschiedliche Volumina des Würzmittels aus einem Vorratsbehälter austragen zu können. Hierzu enthält die zylinderförmig ausgebildete Messvorrichtung, die am Hals des Vorratsbehälters befestigt ist, verschiedene Röhren unterschiedlicher Durchmesser. Diese Röhren können durch Drehung um eine zentrale Achse einzeln in eine Füllposition und nach ihrer Füllung durch eine weitere Drehung zu einer zur Füllposition seitlich versetzten Ausgangsposition gebracht werden.From US Pat. No. 4,832,235 a compact measuring device for seasoning is known in order to be able to discharge different volumes of the seasoning from a storage container. For this purpose, the cylinder-shaped measuring device, which is attached to the neck of the reservoir, different tubes of different diameters. These tubes can be brought by rotation about a central axis individually in a filling position and after its filling by a further rotation to a laterally offset to the filling position starting position.
Auf medizinisch-therapeutischem oder hygienischem Gebiet werden gelegentlich rieselfähige Produkte eingesetzt, wie beispielsweise Abführprodukte in Form von Kömchen bzw. Pellets. Im Gegensatz zu einzeln dosierten Produkten in Form von Pillen, Tabletten oder folienförmigen Darreichungsformen sind solche rieselfähigen medizinischen Produkte für den Anwender nur schwierig zu dosieren. Gelegentlich werden einzeln dosierte pulverförmige Wirkstoffträger in einer Primärverpackung aus gefaltetem Papier in vorbestimmter Anzahl in einer Sekundärverpackung von der Pharmaindustrie geliefert. Nachteile solcher Darreichungsformen sind der verpackungstechnische Aufwand, der Anfall an Wegwerfmaterial und umständliche Handhabung.In the medical-therapeutic or hygienic field, free-flowing products are occasionally used, such as, for example, laxative products in the form of granules or pellets. In contrast to single dosed products in the form of pills, tablets or foil-like dosage forms Such free-flowing medical products are difficult for the user to dose. Occasionally, discrete dosed powdered drug carriers are delivered in a primary folded paper package in a predetermined number in a secondary package from the pharmaceutical industry. Disadvantages of such dosage forms are the packaging-technical effort, the accumulation of disposable material and cumbersome handling.
Der Erfindung Liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Spender für rieselfähige Produkte wie Granulate bzw. Pellets der eingangs genannten Art anzugeben, der bei möglichst unkompliziertem Aufbau und probLemLoser Bedienbarkeit auch portionsweise dosierbare Einzelchargen des rieselfähigen Produktes austrägt, und zwar mit hoher volumetrischer Genauigkeit. Andererseits soll auch der Austrag von rieselfähigen Produkten ohne Dosierung im Streuverfahren möglich sein.The invention has for its object to provide a dispenser for pourable products such as granules or pellets of the type mentioned, which also discharges batchwise metered individual batches of free-flowing product with the simplest possible structure and probLemLoser operability, with high volumetric accuracy. On the other hand, the discharge of free-flowing products without dosage in the scattering process should be possible.

Der in Figur 1 dargestellte Spender für rieselfähige Produkte wie Granulate oder Pellets weist einen spenderseitigen Bereich eines das Produkt aufnehmenden Vorratsbehälters (1) mit einem Hals (2) auf, an dem eine Austragseinrichtung (10) mit einem Spenderorgan (30) anordenbar ist. Die Austragseinrichtung (10) umfaßt ein am Hals (2) des Behälters (1) mit einem Kragen (16) anbringbares Gehäuse (11) mit wenigstens einer behälterseitigen Einlauföffnung (12) und wenigstens einer relativ zur Durchlaufrichtung seitlich dazu versetzten spenderseitigen Auslauföffnung (13). Innerhalb des Gehäuses (11) ist das damit zusammenwirkene Spenderorgan (30) mit wenigstens einer Dosierkammer (31) drehbar angeordnet.The dispenser for free-flowing products such as granules or pellets shown in FIG. 1 has a dispenser-side area a storage container (1) accommodating the product, having a neck (2) on which a discharge device (10) can be arranged with a dispensing member (30). The discharge device (10) comprises a housing (11) which can be attached to the neck (2) of the container (1) with a collar (16) having at least one container-side inlet opening (12) and at least one dispenser-side outlet opening (13) offset laterally relative to the passage direction. , Within the housing (11), the cooperating donor member (30) with at least one metering chamber (31) is rotatably arranged.
Obwohl eine Positionsverschiebung des Spenderorgans (30) bei der gezeigten Ausführungsform durch eine Drehbewegung um die Mittelachse (x-x) das bevorzugte Konstruktionsprinzip darstellt, soll mit der Erfindung grundsätzlich nicht ausgeschlossen sein, daß ein Spenderorgan mit Dosierkammern auch durch lineares Verschieben in einem entsprechend ausgebildeten Gehäuse zwischen einer Einiaufposition einer Kammer und einer dazu versetzten Austragsposition der Kammer verwirklicht werden kann.Although a positional shift of the donor member (30) in the embodiment shown by a rotational movement about the central axis (xx) represents the preferred design principle, should not be ruled out with the invention in principle that a donor organ with metering chambers by linear displacement in a correspondingly shaped housing between a Einiaufposition a chamber and a staggered discharge position of the chamber can be realized.
An der Außenfläche des Spenderorgans (30) ist eine Verschlußkappe (32) angeklipst und durch eine Arretierung (21) mit dieser undrehbar verbunden. Im Innenbereich der Verschlußkappe (32) ist ein Auffangbehälter (20) ausgbildet, dessen Auffangvolumina mit Teilstrichen (33) angegeben sind.On the outer surface of the donor member (30) a closure cap (32) is clipped and connected by a lock (21) with this non-rotatable. In the interior of the closure cap (32) a collecting container (20) is ausgebildet, the collection volumes are indicated by graduated lines (33).
Um die einzelnen Dosiersteltungen des Spenderorgans (30) handfühlbar zu machen, ist zwischen dem Spenderorgan (30) und der zentralen Hülse (18) bzw. dem Klipsstift (19) des austragsseitigen Gehäuseteils (41) wenigstens ein Rastnocken (22) angeordnet.To make the individual Dosiersteltungen of the donor member (30) hand-feelable, at least one locking cam (22) is arranged between the donor member (30) and the central sleeve (18) or the Klipsstift (19) of the discharge-side housing part (41).
Aus der Zusammenschau der Figuren 1 bis 3 geht hervor, daß das Gehäuse (11) bevorzugt kreisförmig ist und zwei das Spenderorgan (30) oben und unten abdeckbare, zu dessen Achse (x-x) quergerichtete Gehäuseteile (40, 41) aufweist.From the combination of Figures 1 to 3 it is apparent that the housing (11) is preferably circular and two the donor member (30) top and bottom coverable, with its axis (x-x) transversely directed housing parts (40, 41).
Dazu zeigen die Figuren 2 und 3, ebenso wie die Figur 5, daß das Spenderorgan (30) - ebenso wie die Gehäuseteile (40 bzw. 41) - bevorzugt in vier Quadranten (I-IV) einteilbar sind und von diesen - in Umfangsrichtung des Gehäuses (11) gesehen -
- Quadrant (I) einen ersten Sektor "Ruhestellung" und einen zweiten Sektor "Einlauf",
- Quadrant (II) einen ersten Sektor "Ruhestellung" und einen zweiten Sektor "Auslauf",
- Quadrant (III) einen ersten Sektor "Ruhestellung" und einen zweiten Sektor "Einlauf",
- Quadrant (IV) einen ersten Sektor "Ruhestellung" und einen zweiten Sektor "Auslauf"
- Quadrant (I) a first sector "rest position" and a second sector "inlet",
- Quadrant (II) a first sector "resting position" and a second sector "outlet",
- Quadrant (III) a first sector "rest position" and a second sector "inlet",
- Quadrant (IV) a first sector "resting position" and a second sector "outlet"
aufweist. Von diesen sind die Quadranten (I bis IV) der beiden Gehäuseteile (40, 41) des Gehäuses (11) jeweils um einen Winkelbetrag gegeneinander versetzt angeordnet. Infolge dieses Versatzes in Gehäuse-Umfangsrichtung erreicht jede Kammer (31) des Spenderorgans (30) entweder eine Einlaufposition oder eine Entleerungsposition, bzw. dazwischen eine Ruheposition, in welcher sie an beiden Enden abgeschlossen ist.having. Of these, the quadrants (I to IV) of the two housing parts (40, 41) of the housing (11) are offset from one another by an angular amount in each case. As a result of this offset in the housing circumferential direction reaches each chamber (31) of the donor member (30) either an inlet position or a discharge position, or between a rest position in which it is completed at both ends.
Das Spenderorgan (30, Fig. 2) weist beispielsweise vier Dosierkammern (31) auf, jeweils in 90°-Position, und ist dazwischen in 45°-Positionen jeweils für eine Ruheposition geschlossen ausgebildet. Das Gehäuseteil (41) unterhalb des Spenderorgans (30) - im Gegensatz zu diesem mit dem Gehäuseteil (40) undrehbar verbunden - besitzt gemäß Fig. 3 bevorzugt zwei Auslauföffnungen (13a, 13b), wogegen - mit dünnen gestrichelten Linien angedeutet - im Gehäuseteil (40) in 90°-Position dazwischenliegend - zwei Einlauföffnungen (12a und 12b) angeordnet sind.The donor member (30, Fig. 2) has four, for example Dosage chambers (31), in each case in the 90 ° position, and is formed therebetween in 45 ° positions each closed for a rest position. The housing part (41) below the dispensing member (30) - in contrast to this with the housing part (40) non-rotatably - has shown in FIG. 3 preferably two outlet openings (13a, 13b), whereas - indicated by thin dashed lines - in the housing part ( 40) in the 90 ° position therebetween - two inlet openings (12a and 12b) are arranged.
Wie aus den Figuren 1 sowie 4 bis 6 zu ersehen ist, besteht das Gehäuse (11) aus den beiden Gehäuseteilen (40, 41), von welchen der behälterseitige Gehäuseteil (40) mit einem den Hals (2) des Behälters (1) umschließenden Kragen (16) und mit Mitteln zum Aufklipsen ausgebildet ist sowie mit einer sich gegen den austragsseitigen Gehäuseteil (41) öffnenden zentralen Hülse (18), in die ein am Gehäuseteil (41) vorhandener Klipsvorsprung (19) undrehbar einklipsbar ist.As can be seen from Figures 1 and 4 to 6, the housing (11) consists of the two housing parts (40, 41), of which the container-side housing part (40) with a neck (2) of the container (1) enclosing Collar (16) and is formed with means for clipping and with a against the discharge side housing part (41) opening central sleeve (18) into which a on the housing part (41) existing clip projection (19) is non-rotatably clipped.
Aus der Darstellung der Figuren 2 bis 5 geht hervor, daß entsprechend dem Spenderorgan (30) das Gehäuse (11) ebenfalls in kompatible Quadranten (I bis IV) seiner Gehäuseteile (40, 41) unterteilbar und in wenigstens je einem dieser Quadranten (I-IV) entweder eine Einlauföffnung (12a, 12b) des Gehäuseteils (40) oder im Gehäuseteil (41) wenigstens eine Auslauföffnung (13a, 13b) angeordnet ist, deren Konturen bevorzugt mit der Kontur einer Dosierkammer (31) übereinstimmen.From the illustration of FIGS. 2 to 5 it can be seen that, corresponding to the dispensing
Der Spender nach der Erfindung eignet sich zum dosierenden Spenden rieselfähiger Produkte mit sehr exakter volumetrischer Dosierung. Seine Funktion bzw. Handhabung kann wie folgt kurz beschrieben werden:The dispenser according to the invention is suitable for metering dispensing free-flowing products with very precise volumetric dosage. Its function or handling can be brief as follows to be discribed:
In Gebrauchsbereitschaft steht der Spender auf dem Boden seines Vorratsbehälters (1), wobei dann die Austragseinrichtung (10) nach oben zeigt. Der Vorratsbehälter (1) enthält eine beliebige Menge rieselfähigen Gutes wie Granulat. Pellets oder Körnchen.In readiness for use, the dispenser stands on the bottom of its reservoir (1), in which case the discharge device (10) points upwards. The reservoir (1) contains any amount of free-flowing material such as granules. Pellets or granules.
Zur Entnahme einer dosierten Menge rieselfähigen Gutes wird der Spender in die Hand genommen und mit der Austragseinrichtung (10) nach unten gewendet. Sodann wird - vorausgesetzt, das Spenderorgan (30) befand sich in VerschLußposition - dieses gegen Leichten Widerstand des Rastnockens (22) in Füllstellung gedreht, wobei in deckungsgleicher Position der Kammern (31) mit den Einlauföffnungen (12a, 12b) des Gehäuseteils (40) diese mit rieselfähigem Gut gefüllt werden. Bei einer weiteren Drehung um 45° gegen fühlbar geringen Widerstand der Rastnocken (22) gelangen die Kammern (31) des Spenderorgans (30) zunächst über die Ruhestellung, bei der sie oben und unten abgedeckt sind und kein Ein- oder Austrag von rieselfähigem Produkt stattfindet, in die in Fig. 2 gezeigte Auslauf-Stellung zweier Kammern (31), deckungsgleich mit den Auslaßöffnungen (13a, 13b, Fig. 3), wobei sich der Inhalt der Kammern in den Aufnahmebehälter (20) der Verschlußkappe (32) entleert. Dabei wird ein exakt abgemessener Volumenbetrag des rieselfähigen Gutes in den Aufnahmebehälter (20) eingetragen. Dessen volumetrische Menge ist nun an den Teilstrichen (33) ablesbar.To remove a metered quantity of free-flowing material, the dispenser is taken in the hand and turned downwards with the discharge device (10). Then - assuming the donor member (30) was in VerschLußposition - this turned against light resistance of the locking cam (22) in the filling position, wherein in congruent position of the chambers (31) with the inlet openings (12a, 12b) of the housing part (40) These are filled with free-flowing material. In a further rotation by 45 ° against sensibly low resistance of the locking cam (22) enter the chambers (31) of the donor member (30) initially on the rest position, in which they are covered at the top and bottom and no input or discharge of free-flowing product takes place , in the outlet position of two chambers (31) shown in Fig. 2, congruent with the outlet openings (13a, 13b, Fig. 3), wherein the contents of the chambers in the receptacle (20) of the closure cap (32) emptied. In this case, a precisely measured volume of the free-flowing material is introduced into the receptacle (20). Its volumetric quantity can now be read off the divisions (33).
In einer alternativen Ausführung des Spenders kann der Gehäuseteil (41) in seinem ersten oder dritten Quadranten (I oder III) entsprechend einer Darstellung in Fig. 5 eine zusätztiche, mit einer Einlauföffnung (12) des Gehäuseteils (40) Lagemäßig in übereinstimmung bringbare Auslauföffnung (14) aufweisen, die im Zusammenwirken miteinander einen freien Durchgang ausbilden. Bei einer entsprechenden Drehstellung des Spenderorgans (30) kann dabei der Spender als Streuvorrichtung ohne Dosierung verwendet werden.In an alternative embodiment of the dispenser, the housing part (41) in its first or third quadrant (I or III) according to a representation in Fig. 5 a Zusatztiche, with an inlet opening (12) of the housing part (40) in terms of position in accordance matchable outlet opening (14), which form a free passage in cooperation with each other. At a corresponding rotational position of the donor member (30), the dispenser can be used as a spreader without dosing.
