Definitions

  • the invention is directed to a dosing pen for by painting a surface Product mass donating pen with the features according to the preamble of Claim 1.
  • a dosing pen for one is Brushing a surface known product dispensing pen.
  • the dosing pen has a container which is used to hold it one, preferably spreadable, product mass, which over a with a Piston cooperating threaded spindle in, out of and into the container is movable.
  • a Piston cooperating threaded spindle is a rotatable actuator connected, which is preferably designed in the form of a knurled nut.
  • the Container which holds a, preferably spreadable, product mass is provided, is designed as a sleeve with a closed bottom, in the a pin rotatable about its longitudinal axis is inserted by means of a snap connection is, which extends over the entire longitudinal axis of the sleeve beyond one Side of the snap connection as a threaded spindle and beyond the other side of the Snap connection formed outside of the sleeve as a hand-operated knurled nut is.
  • the known dosing pens are mainly made of plastic, making the Properties of the product mass, e.g. B. adhesive, obtained over a long period of time remains.
  • a dosing pen with the features of the preamble of claim 1 is from DE-U-92 01 987.0 known.
  • the outer container which for reasons of stability has a relatively large wall thickness, one except for a central opening closed bottom with the same wall thickness as the container jacket.
  • the Actuator which is integrally connected to the threaded spindle, is with the bottom of the container rotatable via the central bottom opening, but axially securely connected.
  • the invention has for its object the plastic content in a metering pen to reduce according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the container has no bottom has that the container and the actuating element via a, preferably annular, Snap or snap connection are connected to each other and that the Wall thickness of the sleeve between 0.1 and 1 mm, preferably between 0.3 and 0.4 mm, lies.
  • the sleeve is preferably made of polypropylene or high density polyethylene, this material is also known as HDPE.
  • the proportion of plastic in a dosing pen and thus the environmental impact of plastic waste can be further reduced if according to another advantageous Further training the container from a renewable, compostable raw material consists.
  • the container can be based on starch derivatives or cellulose derivatives getting produced.
  • the sleeve at least on the one End is firmly connected to the container, in particular glued.
  • the Actuating element with at least one extension formed in a container has circumferential groove-engaging projection or lugs.
  • the extension can be designed to be elastic so that the projection or the lugs snap into the groove is made possible.
  • extension with the projection or the noses is integrally formed. This has the advantage that the extension and the Lugs or the projection can be produced in one manufacturing step.
  • the actuating element can have an extension, the extension and the Containers each have a circumferential groove, which are opposite and between which a common, preferably circular in cross section, Guide element is arranged.
  • This embodiment has the advantage that Container by rotation of the actuator due to friction between Container and projection or locking lugs are not subject to wear.
  • the metering pin designated overall by 12 in FIG. 1, comprises a hollow cylindrical one Container 1 made from a renewable, compostable raw material.
  • a sleeve 2 is arranged with a bottom 3.
  • the sleeve 2 is made from a plastic.
  • the metering pin 12 can optionally with a Cap 13 are closed.
  • the sleeve 2 receives a shaped body, not shown, which consists of a spreadable product mass exists.
  • the sleeve 2 is secured against rotation with the Container 1 connected.
  • Threaded spindle 5 is provided, which engages in a piston 4.
  • the piston 4 has a continuous threaded bore 13 into which the thread of the threaded spindle 5 engages.
  • the piston 4 is arranged such that it cannot rotate in the sleeve 2 this z. B. is described in DE 41 16 581 A1, to the full reference is taken.
  • the threaded spindle 5 extends through the bottom of the sleeve 2.
  • a through opening is formed in the bottom 3, into which a seal 14 is introduced, which surrounds the shaft of the threaded spindle 5.
  • the spindle is a Is part of the container.
  • the opening for the Spindle generated when the refill cartridge is placed on the spindle. The Spindle penetrates the bottom 3 of the sleeve 2.
  • the end of the threaded spindle 5 is by means of a snap connection 15 with a Actuator 6 connected.
  • the actuating element 6 can be act a knurled nut.
  • the snap connection 15 is designed so that in End region of the threaded spindle 5, the cross section of the threaded spindle widening bead 16 is applied, which engages in a chamber 17.
  • the chamber 17 can be reached via a channel 18 with elastic walls 19.
  • a circumferential extension 7 is formed on the actuating element 6.
  • a circumferential groove 9 is formed on the inside of the sleeve 1, into which a Guide element 11 is introduced. This guide element 11 engages in an Extension 7 formed groove 10.
  • FIG. 2 shows a second exemplary embodiment of a dosing pen.
  • the Actuating element 6 in this embodiment is provided with a plurality of extensions 7 provided, which have outwardly facing lugs 8.
  • the lugs 8 engage a groove 9 formed in the container 1.
  • Each nose 8 is with an insertion bevel 20 for easier insertion of the extensions 7 into the container 1.
  • the further construction of the metering pin corresponds to that shown in FIG. 1 Embodiment.
