Definitions

• Double chamber canister for the production of dilute working solutions with
• the invention relates to a container with a container for storing a concentrate and a container for storing a working solution from a concentrate and a dilution liquid.
• a working solution is generally a dilute solution.
• the working solutions are prepared by the user so that he mixes a certain amount of concentrate with a corresponding amount of the diluent in accordance with the instructions for use.
• the working solutions prepared in large quantities in a mixing container are stored in the mixing container or in a separate container and transferred to small bottles for use.
• the production of larger quantities of working solution than are required for the acute application results from the fact that the setting of precise concentrations or the adherence to mixture specifications in larger quantities is easier to accomplish.
• a method was then used in which the mixture was simplified and made more controllable using an injector system.
• a predetermined amount of the diluent solution was transferred from an external concentrate container via a liquid jet pump or simply a water jet pump to a storage container for the working solution. From this storage container, the amount required for the current application can then be poured into application containers or bottles and thus used.
• a disadvantage of this constellation is that at least two containers with a large space requirement are required. For decanting and mixing, these must be connected with hoses, which takes up a considerable amount of space. This is complicated by the fact that very often several different concentrates or working solutions have to be kept in stock. There is also a particular risk of confusion, which arises especially when changing containers due to a large number of suction hoses.
• the invention is based on the technical problem of proposing a compact container system for the storage and mixing of use solutions from concentrates and diluents, which does not take up much space and is as easy to use as possible, and in which a risk of confusion is excluded.
• the invention solves this problem in that, in the case of a generic container, the two containers are designed as chambers of a canister, are connected to one another via a liquid jet pump and can be operated from one side, both the filling device of the concentrate chamber and the filling device of the use solution chamber being equipped with coded access control devices are.
• a double-chamber canister such a container avoids the previous disadvantages, since only one container is to be used for a use solution and the connection between the chambers is integrated. A risk of confusion for both the filling of coded as well as for the filling of working solution is excluded by coded access control devices.
• the operability from one side makes it possible to leave the container on a shelf with the operating side to the front and still be able to fill or refill the concentrate, to bring the dilution solution into the container via a connection of the liquid jet pump accessible from this side and the Prepare ready-to-use solution by mixing concentrate and diluent, and fill ready-to-use solutions in an application container.
• the two chambers of the container are partially arranged one above the other, which enables a particularly compact design.
• the arrangement of both the concentrate filling device and the liquid jet pump with suction pipe and mixture discharge in a single canister lid advantageously makes it possible to arrange the filling device for the concentrate and the pressure port for connecting the solvent supply in such a way that their operating functions do not interfere with one another .
• the provision of an overflow opening in the working solution chamber prevents the container from being endangered if the pump is not switched off in good time.
• valve prevents filling from containers that are not coded accordingly.
• the valve prevents the filling device from being used as a funnel for uncontrolled liquids if it is not used as intended.
• the water jet pump is designed for metered concentrate admixture, for example by providing a corresponding adjustable nozzle diameter, taking into account the concentrate viscosity and the desired mixing ratio. This allows compliance with even the most precise concentration specifications in a simple manner.
• Figure 1 shows a double chamber container in a sectional side view.
• FIG. 2 shows the double chamber container according to FIG. 1 in a front view

• FIG. 5a, b, c three exemplary embodiments for coding geometries.
• a container according to the invention is shown as a double chamber container in a sectional side view.
• the concentrate container 1 is at least partially above the
• a valve 20 can be seen which closes the lower access opening 16 to the concentrate chamber 1 and only opens it if it is activated by means of a product-specific coded opening device.
• a product-specific coded opening device can consist for example of pins which are arranged on the concentrate filling bottle 15 and are pushed through suitable openings 17. This situation will also be described later with reference to FIG. 3.
• Fig. 2 the double chamber container is shown in front view.
• the concentrate chamber 1 gives a view of the protruding working solution chamber 2 on both sides, which takes up the entire width of the canister below the concentrate chamber 1.
• the common cover 6, in which the filling device 3 and the water jet pump 5 are arranged, can be seen above the double-chamber container.
• This illustration clearly shows that the pressure connection 8 of the water jet pump 5 is easily accessible and operable from the front.
• Access to the outlet opening of the filling device 4 is covered by the sign 12.
• a triangular access opening 13, for example, is arranged in the forwardly inclined shield 12 and can only be passed through an appropriately shaped neck of an application container 14.
• the filling device 3 is shown in detail.
• the filling device 3 has the shape of a stepped cylindrical funnel, on the bottom of which a column 19 is arranged centrally.
• the outer contour of the column 19 and the openings 17 and 18 arranged inside and outside its jacket in the bottom of the funnel 3 correspond to a product-specific coding.
• the spout is designed according to this coding.
• the exact configuration of the column 19 in accordance with the code and the openings 17 and 18 is illustrated by the representation of the top view in FIG. 3b and the bottom view in FIG. 3c.
• the upper edge of the casing of the column 19 can be designed as a knife which cuts through a film or a correspondingly designed closure with which the concentrate filling bottle 15 can be closed. This cutting takes place automatically when a suitably coded bottle is put on.
• the closure of the concentrate filling bottle 15 is pushed through, the filling device 3 is displaced and the valve 20 is thereby opened in order to open the lower filling opening 16.
• the valve 20 is drawn as a spherical segment which opens from above at selective pressure. This can be seen in the illustration in FIG. 3a.
• the access protection for opening the filling device 4 which in this case consists of a sign 12 inclined at an angle of 45 degrees, in which a coded access opening 13 is provided.
• the use solution can also only be poured into application bottles 14 whose neck has a contour shaped according to the corresponding code, that is to say here a triangular one corresponding to the dimensions of the opening 13 here.
• FIG. 4a shows a hook-shaped projection 23 which is suitable for clamping the device to a correspondingly shaped part of a shelf in order to give the system an additional stability.
• a shield 12 in the form shown can be stuck in a simple manner over the neck of the filling device 4 without providing special fastening devices.
• FIG. 5 shows various exemplary embodiments for access codes, each of which has the central column 19, within which the filling openings 17, 18 are arranged in the bottom of the filling funnel 3.
• the neck of the concentrate fill bottle 15 must have a corresponding geometric shape to fit the column 19 such that the concentrate enters the interior of the column 19, through the fill opening 18 into the prechamber in front of the valve 20 and the lower access opening 16 to flow.
