Definitions

  • the invention relates to a two-chamber metering dispenser for liquid and / or paste-like media with two juxtaposed in parallel position containers made of plastic, which are each provided with a hand-operated metering pump and with a full circumference of its inner surface tight-fitting follower piston.
  • the chambers in which the metered dispensed media are located have a cross-sectional shape, which favor the dense concerns of the trailing piston on the entire circumference of the inner surface.
  • the storage chambers are each cylindrical, wherein the Panels according to DE 42 12 413 and DE 41 20 644 are each used in the form of separate containers in a receiving housing, the head is provided with a two-medium metering pump or two each associated with a container metering pump, which can be actuated by a common actuator.
  • the two other cited documents relate to two-chamber metering dispensers in which the cylindrical storage chambers are arranged concentrically with each other, wherein the follower piston of the larger storage chamber sealingly abuts both the cylindrical inner surface of the peripheral wall and on the cylindrical outer surface of the smaller reservoir.
  • the concentric arrangement of the two reservoirs has the disadvantage that not both can have the same cross-sectional shape.
  • the juxtaposition of the two cylindrical reservoir is disadvantageous, as between the two reservoir receiving pump housing, which advantageously has an elongated-round shape, and the two cylindrical reservoirs, relatively large unused space volumes are present, each between the parallel Side walls and the curves of the reservoir are.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a two-chamber metering dispenser of the type mentioned, in which on the one hand the given by the outer mold cavity volume is optimally utilized by the two containers and on the other hand, the inner surfaces of the container walls ensure a tight concern their trailing piston sure.
  • the two containers have a common, in cross-section form elliptical outer shell and are separated by two symmetrically to the short ellipse axis against each other curved middle walls.
  • the design of the snap connections according to claim 5 ensures a hand on the one hand technically easily manageable shape of the snap connection elements and on the other hand a good durable connection between the two individual chambers.
  • joining results in an outer shell, which forms a virtually jointless and stepless overall area in the region of the abutting edges.
  • the snap connection can be stabilized or made insoluble in connection with ratchet teeth.
  • 1 and 2 serves for the separate dispensing of two different liquid or paste-type or gel-like media. It consists of two juxtaposed in parallel position containers 2 and 3 made of plastic, which are each provided with a hand-operated metering pump 4 and 5 and with a respectively on the entire circumference of its inner surface 6 and 7 tight-fitting follower piston 8 and 9, which also are made of plastic.
  • the two containers 2 and 3 form a common, in cross-section at least approximately elliptical, composed of circular arc outer shell 10, and they are separated by two symmetrically to the short ellipse axis 12 mutually arched center walls 14 and 15 from each other.
  • the two middle walls 14 and 15 are connected to form two symmetrical to the long ellipse axis 13 cavities 17 and 18 by a central connecting web 19.
  • the radii of curvature R of the congruent and mirror image of each other arranged center walls 14 and 15 correspond approximately to the length a of the long ellipse axis 13 of the common outer shell 10.
  • the ends of the middle walls 14 and 15 are connected by curves 16 einstükkig with the outer shell 10 whose Radii of curvature R1 should not fall below 3 mm, so that the lip-like Sealing edges 25 of the identical follower piston 8 and 9 can also tight in the region of these curves 16.
  • the two follower pistons 8 and 9 consist in a known manner of hollow bodies with one of the cross-sectional shape of the container 2 and 3 adapted basic shape and with a closed, trapezoidal in cross-section formed radial wall 26th
  • a planar ring section 27 of the radial wall 26 the circumferential, self-contained sealing lip 25 is arranged, while at the opposite end of the hollow body a conically shaped guide edge 28 is provided.
  • the two metering pumps 4 and 5 are respectively arranged on the upper end walls 21 and 22 of the two containers 2 and 3, wherein their movable, hood-like actuators 23 and 24 are guided in each case in integrally mounted ring walls 31 and 32 respectively.
  • the two containers 2 and 3 each having a central wall 14 or 15, consist of two identically shaped, separate individual bodies, which are joined together by snap connections 35 and 36 without joints.
  • a self-contained outer shell 10 as shown in Fig. 6 and also in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2 is the case.
  • the two diametrically opposite snap connections 35 and 36 consist, as best seen in Fig. 7a, each of a coupling strip 40 which is integrally formed on the inside of a wall portion 41 which in the assembled state with the other container 2 and 3 each half of the cavity located between the middle walls 17 and 18 respectively bridge or bridge and which are each provided with a lying in the plane of the common central axis 39 end face 42.
  • the coupling strip 40 protrudes laterally beyond this common central axis 39 and is externally provided with a radially outwardly projecting latching or locking tooth 43, which expediently extends over the entire length or height of the container 2 or 3 and thus appears as a rib, which has the shape of a latching or locking tooth.
  • the two containers 2 and 3 made as individual parts have an absolutely identical cross-sectional shape in all details, i. it is therefore one and the same part that exists twice.
  • the container 3 is rotated relative to the container 2 only by 180 °, so that in each case the integrally formed on the two wall sections 41 and 46 snap connection elements can be positively joined together.
  • a support bar 48 is formed within the Schmidt- or Gegensperr leopards 45 on the wall portion 46, at which the coupling strip 40th radially supported. Obtained in this way two very stable locking connections, in particular, if instead of locking teeth locking teeth 43 and 45 are provided which form a permanent connection.
  • the Gegenrast- or Gegensperr leopard 45 can extend over the entire length or height of the container 2 and 3 and thus appear as a locking or locking rib in the cross-sectional shape of a latching or locking tooth.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 While in the embodiment of FIGS. 5 and 6, the two containers 2 and 3, as in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2, respectively provided with upper end walls 50 and 51, on which two equal metering pumps 4 sit, can according to FIGS. 8 and 9 a pump head 55 with two equal metering pumps 56 and 57 are placed on the two assembled containers 2 and 3, which in this case have no upper end walls.
  • the two containers 2 and 3 are provided at their upper ends with the wall thickness inwardly offset wall portions 59 and 60, the sealed by an annular wall 58 which has the same cross-sectional shape as the common outer shell 10 enclosed are.
  • This annular wall 58 is part of a common end wall 53, on which the two metering pumps 56 and 57 are arranged.
  • a hood-shaped actuator 61 is provided, which has two discharge openings 62 and 63 in adjacent arrangement. These discharge openings 62 and 63 are connected by delivery channels 64 and 65 with the metering pumps 56 and 57 in conjunction so that at each pump stroke of the actuator 61 from both containers 2 and 3 at the same time the media contained therein can be dispensed dosed.
  • annular wall extension 58 In order to secure the annular wall extension 58 in a simple manner and at the same time sealingly connect with the inwardly offset wall sections 59 and 60 of the two containers 2 and 3, it is expedient also locking elements z. B. in the form of annular ribs 65 and 66, which engage in corresponding annular grooves of the wall sections 59 and 60 or vice versa.
