Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cartridge gun with an elongated receiving unit for a cartridge filled with the product to be dispensed, with a Dosing unit for the product to be dispensed and with a handle that is in Operating position across or at an angle to the elongated mounting unit extends outside.
  • Known cartridge pistols of this type are used for pressing out viscous ones Masses, e.g. B. jointing compounds used from cartridges.
  • Known Cartridge guns consist of the holding unit, the dosing unit and a handle firmly connected to the receiving unit.
  • the dosing unit has a displaceably mounted piston rod with a piston that opposes presses the movable bottom of an inserted cartridge so that the Contents of the cartridge are dispensed from the opening, which is the sliding Floor is opposite.
  • the handle is a movable, in general pivotable control element connected to the piston rod interacts. By manually pressing this control the piston rod and thus the piston is moved so that the bottom the cartridge is pushed towards the dosing opening of the cartridge and the contents the cartridge through this generally nozzle-like opening to the outside is pressed.
  • a disadvantage of the known cartridge guns is the space required. It can the piston rod are inserted into the receiving unit, but the crosswise or extending obliquely to the elongated receiving unit Handle takes up a lot of space. The space requirement leads to increased transport, Packaging and storage costs at the manufacturer and supplier. The space requirement too in the sales room is high. Finally, the user also needs a relatively large space for storing the unused cartridge gun.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object, the space required for one used cartridge gun of the type mentioned significantly reduce.
  • the handle In the rest position, the handle requires considerably less space than in the Operating position, so that the cartridge gun during transport, during packaging and considerable in terms of storage and presentation in the sales room takes up less space.
  • the handle is detachable with the other parts the cartridge gun is connected. A loss of individual parts the cartridge gun is avoided and the user friendliness is increased however suggested that the handle be pivotable with the receptacle and / or the dosing unit is connected. If the dosing unit has a sliding Has piston, it is also proposed that the handle about a pivot axis running transverse to the stroke direction of the piston is pivotable.
  • the handle is advantageous Embodiment of the invention can be locked at least in the operating position. If the receiving unit is a holder for receiving the dosing unit has, it is also advantageous if the handle cooperating with the bracket Has snap connection parts so that the handle on can be locked and unlocked easily.
  • the snap connection parts have two articulated arms. These articulated arms are preferably located on the handle in the area of the pivot axis.
  • the handle is in the operating position as well as lockable in the rest position. Even in the rest position the handle, the cartridge gun can be particularly easy in this case handle.
  • the bracket cooperate with the free end of the handle Has snap connection parts. These can, for example, in Form a projecting tab can be provided, behind which the end of the Handle can snap into place. This way are for snap connection no additional parts required on the handle.
  • the dosing unit cooperating with the piston Has braking device so that a cartridge gun simple from a design point of view is obtained with good dosing properties.
  • the braking device keeps the piston rod in its essence during the squeezing process Position when the operating lever is released to press again to start.
  • the braking device enables work to be interrupted a slight retraction of the piston rod to the cartridge piston to relieve pressure and thus prevent after-running.
  • the known complicated locking mechanisms can therefore be dispensed with, because the pistol automatically relaxes when work is interrupted.
  • the braking device is preferably present from at least partially closely enclosing the piston rod Part of the bracket.
  • the cartridge gun 1 shown in the figures has a receiving unit 2 for receiving a cartridge, a dosing unit 3 and one with the receiving unit 2 and the dosing unit 3 connected handle 4, this foldable from the rest position in FIG. 1 into the operating position according to FIG is.
  • the product to be dispensed e.g. B. the joint sealant is located in a cylindrical cartridge 10 with a sliding bottom, which the cartridge opening is opposite ( Figure 6).
  • the recording unit 2 has one Bracket 5 with an annular front 6, two carriers 7 and one the rear housing 8 for receiving the dosing unit 3. Die Bracket 5 encloses a space 9 for receiving the cartridge 10.
  • the metering unit 3 has a piston 11, which is displaceable at the end in the housing 8 mounted piston rod 12 is attached.
  • a drive plate 13 which can be tilted in a manner known per se (Figure 5), through the opening 14 of the piston rod 12 protrudes.
  • the opening 14 is slightly larger than the diameter of the piston rod 12, so that the drive plate 13 is freely displaceable along the piston rod 12 is.
  • the drive plate 13 is replaced by a compression spring 15 pressed at the back.
  • Control element 16 which on the underside of the drive plate 13th acts.
  • This control element 16 is part of an axis 18 pivotable operating lever 17, which by a torsion spring 19 in is held in a rest position.
  • a braking device 20 ( Figures 3 and 5), which consists of a on the piston rod 12 seated clamping plate and has an opening 21, the Diameter corresponds to the diameter of the piston rod 12.
  • the braking device 20 thereby exerts a frictional force on the piston rod at all times 12 on.
  • the frictional force is so low that it is easy is overcome when the operating lever 17 is operated and the piston rod 12 is pushed forward.
  • the frictional force is at least as great like the one exerted on the piston 11 by the movable cartridge base Force so that the piston 11 with the piston rod 12 does not move backwards moves when the operating lever 17 is released.
  • the cartridge gun can be simple and easy Pack and store in a manner as the handle 4 between a rest position and an operating position is movable.
  • the handle 4 foldable In the present example, the handle 4 foldable.
  • the handle 4 is about the same axis 18 as the operating lever 17 is pivotable.
  • the transverse to the stroke direction of the piston 11th extending pivot axis 18 is in extensions extending downward 22 of the housing 8 mounted ( Figure 5).
  • Figure 1 In the rest position ( Figure 1) is therefore the Handle 4 arranged next to and parallel to the elongated bracket 5.
  • the handle 4 can both in the rest position can also be locked in the operating position.
  • For locking in the rest position serves a projecting tab 23 on the underside of the bracket 5th ( Figures 1 and 3), the free end 24 of the handle 4 behind this tab 23 snaps into place.
  • Snap connection parts are used for locking in the operating position are located on the top of the handle 4 ( Figures 3 and 4).
  • the snap connection parts consist of two articulated arms 25, the ends 26 of which are hook-shaped are executed.
  • the articulated arms 25 are included the handle 4 is made in one piece from an elastic and flexible material, so that they are "articulated".
  • the hook-shaped ends 26 protrude through openings 27 in the rear wall of the housing 8 through where they hook behind cams 28.
  • the free ends 29 of the articulated arms 25 compressed in the direction of arrow P Figures 3 and 4
  • FIG. 8 shows some further advantageous details in a schematic representation a further embodiment of the cartridge gun according to the invention. For the sake of clarity, there are some parts in this drawing such as the compression spring 15 and the drive plate 13 omitted.
  • the clamping ring 20 is wider arranged at the front. It not only serves as a braking device, but grazes during operation also the abrasion caused by the notching of the drive plate 13 in the piston rod 12 is formed.
  • an oil-soaked ring 33 is provided on the piston rod 12. which ensures a thin oil film on the piston rod 12 during operation. To the the piston rod 12 is cleaned in this way. On the other hand, it becomes during storage or operation in a damp environment against corrosion protected. Due to the constant notching of the drive plate 13 in the usual piston rod 12 consisting of iron / steel is namely in humid environment very susceptible to corrosion or oxidation.
  • an opening 34 is provided on the top of the housing 8, in which is an unused cap 35 of the cartridge or not used outlet nozzle of the cartridge can be used so that the user she doesn't lose.
  • the handle could not only be swiveled, but also to others Be movably connected to the bracket.
  • the Handle can also be pivoted in a different direction than in the present example his. The handle could even be detachable with the rest of the cartridge gun be connected.
