Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Spender für Hygienepapiere oder dgl., insbesondere für feuchte Toilettentücher, bestehend aus einem einseitig offenen Behälter und einem lösbar über eine Rastverbindung mit dem Behälter verbindbaren Verschluss.The invention relates to a dispenser for hygiene paper or the like, in particular for moist toilet towels, consisting of a container open on one side and a closure which can be detachably connected to the container via a snap-in connection.

Hygienepapiere, insbesondere gefaltete feuchte Toilettentücher (z.B. "Hakle feucht"), werden in Verpackungen vertrieben, die aus einem oben offenen Behälter bestehen, der mit einem auf dem Rand des Behälters aufsetzbaren Dekkel verschlossen wird. Da dieser Verschluss nicht luftdicht ist, wird der Behälter nach dem Befüllen zusätzlich mit einer Siegelfolie aus Metall oder Kunststoff luftdicht verschlossen, die vor der ersten Entnahme eines Toilettentuches oder dgl. entfernt werden muss. Nach dem Entfernen der Siegelfolie können die feuchten Toilettentücher jedoch schnell austrocknen, weil der bekannte Deckel nicht ausreichend dicht verschließt. Auch ist das Öffnen der Verpackung recht mühsam, da hierfür der Deckel von dem Behälter abgenommen werden muss, was nur mit beiden Händen möglich ist. Dazu ist der Behälter mit einer Hand zu fassen, während mit der anderen Hand der Deckel abgenommen werden kann. Vor der Entnahme von Tüchern muss der Deckel dann abgelegt werden, um die zweite Hand frei zu haben.Hygiene papers, especially folded wet toilet towels (e.g. "Hakle moist "), are distributed in packaging made from an open container consist of a lid that can be placed on the edge of the container is closed. Since this closure is not airtight, the container becomes after filling with a sealing foil made of metal or plastic hermetically sealed before the first removal of a toilet towel or Like. Must be removed. After removing the sealing film, the However, dry toilet towels dry out quickly because of the well-known lid not sufficiently sealed. Opening the packaging is also right tedious, since the lid has to be removed from the container for this, which is only possible with both hands. To do this, the container is closed with one hand grasp while the lid can be removed with the other hand. The cover must then be removed before the towels can be removed to have a second hand free.

Es ist daher bereits eine Feuchthaltebox bekannt, die einen Deckel aufweist, der gelenkig mit dem Behälter der Feuchthaltebox verbunden ist und den Behälter wesentlich besser verschließt als der Deckel der oben beschriebenen Verpackung. Die Feuchthaltebox dient als Aufbewahrungsbehälter für die sich in der oben beschriebenen Verpackung befindlichen Hygienetücher. Dazu wird die Verpackung, nachdem die Siegelfolie und der aufgesetzte Deckel entfernt worden sind, in die Feuchthaltebox eingesetzt. Sind die Hygienetücher oder dgl. verbraucht, wird deren Verpackung weggeworfen und es wird eine neue Verpackung (Nachfüllpackung) in die Feuchthaltebox eingesetzt. In der Feuchthaltebox bewahren die Tücher in der Verpackung zwar länger ihre Feuchtigkeit, weil der Deckel der Feuchthaltebox deren Behälter relativ gut abschließt, es werden jedoch zwei Behälter benötigt, was als unbequem angesehen wird und was für den Fall, dass die als Aufbewahrungsbehälter dienende Feuchthaltebox zusammen mit der Nachfüllpackung entsorgt wird, dem Umweltschutzgedanken zuwiderläuft.A moisturizing box is therefore already known, which has a lid, which is articulated to the container of the moisturizing box and the The container closes much better than the lid of the one described above Packaging. The moisturizing box serves as a storage container for the hygiene wipes in the packaging described above. This will the packaging after removing the sealing film and the attached lid have been inserted into the moisturizing box. Are the hygiene wipes or the like used, their packaging is thrown away and it becomes a new one Packaging (refill pack) inserted in the moisturizing box. In the The moisturizing box keeps the wipes in their packaging longer Moisture because the lid of the moisturizing box has a relatively good container completes, but two containers are needed, which is uncomfortable is viewed and what happens if that as a storage container serving moisturizing box is disposed of together with the refill, runs counter to the idea of environmental protection.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, einen Spender für Hygienepapiere oder dgl. der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, der günstig herzustellen und einfach handhabbar ist, und der auch nach dem ersten Öffnen eine hohe Luftdichtigkeit aufweist.The object of the present invention is therefore a dispenser for hygienic paper or the like. To create the type mentioned, the cheap to manufacture and easy to handle, even after the first opening has a high level of airtightness.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß im Wesentlichen dadurch gelöst, dass der Verschluss für den Behälter des Spenders aus einem Rahmen und einem daran angelenkten Deckel besteht, wobei der Rahmen über eine Rastverbindung lösbar auf dem Behälter aufsetzbar ist und die Rahmenöffnung durch den Deckel in der Weise verschließbar ist, dass der Deckel über eine weitere Rastverbindung lösbar auf dem Rahmen befestigbar ist. Der Verschluss lässt sich also mittels des Rahmens auf dem Rand eines Behälters befestigen, wobei das Öffnen des Behälters durch Lösen der weiteren Rastverbindung zwischen dem Rahmen und dem Deckel und Aufklappen des Deckels erfolgt, wodurch der Inhalt des Behälters freigegeben wird. Da der Deckel des Verschlusses gelenkig an dem Rahmen befestigt ist, ist es nicht notwendig, zum Öffnen des Behälters die zweite Hand hinzuzunehmen. Das Öffnen und Schließen des Spenders wird damit deutlich vereinfacht und ein Benutzer kann mit der freien Hand problemlos Tücher aus dem Spender entnehmen. Der so geschaffene Verschluss stellt einen wiederverwendbaren Deckel für einen Spender für gefaltete Hygienepapiere, insbesondere für feuchte Toilettentücher, dar, dessen Behälter als Nachfüllpackung ausgebildet sein kann.According to the invention, this object is essentially achieved in that the closure for the container of the dispenser from a frame and one there is hinged lid, the frame over a Snap connection is releasably attachable to the container and the frame opening can be closed by the lid in such a way that the lid has a further locking connection is releasably attachable to the frame. The closure can be attached to the edge of a container using the frame, wherein the opening of the container by loosening the further locking connection between the frame and the lid and opening the lid, thereby releasing the contents of the container. Since the lid of the Fastener is hinged to the frame, it is not necessary use your second hand to open the container. The opening and Closing the dispenser is thus significantly simplified and a user can easily remove wipes from the dispenser with your free hand. The way created closure provides a reusable lid for one Dispenser for folded hygienic paper, especially for moist toilet towels, represents, the container can be designed as a refill.

Vorzugsweise sind an dem Rahmen und dem Deckel auf einander zugewandten Seiten Dichtlippen ausgebildet, wobei die Innenkontur der Dichtlippe des Deckels im Wesentlichen passgenau der Außenkontur der Dichtlippe des Rahmens entspricht. Wird der Deckel nun auf dem Rahmen geschlossen, so liegen diese Dichtlippen dicht aneinander an, so dass der Deckel annähernd luftdicht auf dem Rahmen aufsitzt. Ein Austrocknen der in dem Spender enthaltenen Tücher kann auf diese Weise auch nach dem Entfernen einer ggf. vorhandenen Siegelfolie nach der ersten Entnahme eines Tuches weitestgehend vermieden werden.Preferably are on the frame and the lid on each other facing sides formed sealing lips, the inner contour of the Sealing lip of the cover essentially fits the outer contour of the Sealing lip of the frame corresponds. The lid is now on the frame closed, these sealing lips lie close together so that the Lid sits almost airtight on the frame. A drying out of the the wipes contained in the donor can also be used in this way Remove any existing sealing film after the first removal of a Cloth are largely avoided.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist an dem Frontbereich des Deckels ein Rücksprung ausgebildet, der im geschlossenen Zustand des Deckels mit einem entsprechenden Rücksprung an der umlaufenden Dichtlippe des Rahmens in einen lösbaren Eingriff tritt und einen deformierbaren Bereich des Rahmens freilässt. Dieser deformierbare Bereich des Rahmens ist als Tastbereich gestaltet, wobei die Rastverbindung zwischen dem Rahmen und dem Deckel in dem durch den Tastbereich und den Rücksprung definierten Bereich der Dichtlippen vorgesehen ist. Der deformierbare Tastbereich ist so ausgebildet, dass er bei einer Verformung unter Druck die Rastverbindung zwischen dem Deckel und dem Rahmen löst. Zum Öffnen des Spenders ist es also nicht mehr notwendig, den Deckel mit beiden Händen abzunehmen, sondern ein einfacher Druck mit einem Finger auf den deformierbaren Tastbereich des Rahmens genügt, um die Rastverbindung zwischen dem Rahmen und dem Deckel zu lösen. Die Handhabbarkeit des Spenders kann damit deutlich verbessert und somit die Entnahme von Produkten aus dem Spender erleichtert werden.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention is on the front area the lid formed a recess, which in the closed state of Cover with a corresponding recess on the circumferential sealing lip the frame engages in a releasable manner and a deformable area of the frame. This deformable area of the frame is a tactile area designed, the locking connection between the frame and the Cover in the area defined by the sensing area and the return the sealing lips is provided. The deformable sensing area is like this trained that the locking connection when deformed under pressure between the lid and the frame. It is to open the dispenser no longer necessary to remove the lid with both hands, but a simple push with a finger on the deformable Touch range of the frame is sufficient to the snap connection between the Loosen the frame and the cover. The dispenser can be handled thus significantly improved and thus the removal of products from the Donors will be relieved.

In Weiterbildung dieses Erfindungsgedankens ist vorgesehen, dass zwischen dem Rahmen und dem Deckel ein elastisches Element vorgesehen ist, das den Deckel relativ zu dem Rahmen in seine geöffnete Stellung beaufschlagt. Ein derartiges elastisches Element kann bspw. eine Torsionsfeder, ein Schaumstoffelement oder ein elastischer Streifen sein, das im geschlossenen Zustand des Deckels im Vergleich zu seiner Normalposition aufeinandergebogen und damit unter Spannung gesetzt ist. In a further development of this inventive concept it is provided that between the frame and the lid an elastic element is provided, which Lid relative to the frame in its open position. On Such an elastic element can be, for example, a torsion spring or a foam element or be an elastic strip that when closed of the lid compared to its normal position and bent so that it is under tension.

Als besonders einfach hat es sich erwiesen, zwischen dem Deckel und dem Rahmen erfindungsgemäß einen Streifen aus Gummi oder Kunststoff vorzusehen, der so mit dem Rahmen und dem Deckel verbunden ist, dass der Streifen bei geschlossenem Deckel gespannt wird. Die elastische Rückstellkraft des Streifens bewirkt dann bei freigegebener Rastverbindung zwischen Deckel und Rahmen, dass der Deckel in seine geöffnete Stellung verschwenkt. Ein Benutzer muss also lediglich die Rastverbindung zwischen dem Deckel und dem Rahmen lösen und der Deckel öffnet sich über das elastische Element automatisch. Der Inhalt des Spenders kann dann leicht entnommen werden, wobei der Verschluss mit einer Hand bedient werden kann.It has proven to be particularly simple, between the lid and the Frame according to the invention to provide a strip of rubber or plastic, which is connected to the frame and the cover so that the strip is tensioned with the lid closed. The elastic restoring force of the Strip then causes when the snap connection between the cover and Frame that the lid swings into its open position. One user So only the snap connection between the lid and the Release the frame and the lid opens automatically via the elastic element. The contents of the donor can then be easily removed, with the Closure can be operated with one hand.

Erfindungsgemäß ist der Behälter mit dem Verschluss über eine Rastverbindung lösbar verbunden. Auf diese Weise kann der Verschluss von dem Behälter abgenommen und der Verschluss nach dem Leeren des Behälters auf einen neuen Behälter (Nachfüllpackung) aufgesetzt werden.According to the invention, the container with the closure is over a Snap connection releasably connected. In this way the closure of removed from the container and the closure after emptying the Container to be placed on a new container (refill pack).

Die Rastverbindung zwischen dem Behälter und dem Verschluss wird vorzugsweise über einen Flansch gebildet, der umlaufend an dem oberen Rand des Behälters ausgebildet ist, und einen Wulst, der an der Innenseite des Rahmens des Verschlusses umlaufend ausgebildet ist. Wird der Verschluss nun mit dem Rahmen auf dem Behälter aufgebracht, kann der innen an dem Rahmen ausgebildete Wulst über den Flansch des Behälters schnappen und den Verschluss annähernd luftdicht mit dem Behälter verbinden. Der erfindungsgemäße Verschluss ist damit wiederverwendbar.The snap connection between the container and the closure is preferred formed by a flange that runs all the way around the upper edge of the Container is formed, and a bead on the inside of the frame of the closure is formed all around. If the closure is now with the Frame applied to the container, can be formed on the inside of the frame Snap the bead over the flange of the container and the closure connect to the container almost airtight. The closure according to the invention is therefore reusable.

Auf der Oberseite des Deckels kann erfindungsgemäß ein zumindest teilweise umlaufender Steg ausgebildet sein, dessen Innenkontur im Wesentlichen der Außenkontur des Bodens des Behälters entspricht. Auf diese Weise lassen sich erfindungsgemäße Spender zu Transport- und Aufbewahrungszwecken gut aufeinanderstapeln.According to the invention, an at least partially on the top of the lid circumferential web be formed, the inner contour of which essentially Outer contour of the bottom of the container corresponds. This way Stack the dispenser according to the invention well for transport and storage purposes.

Weiterhin kann an dem Verschluss oder dem Behälter eine Befestigungseinrichtung zur Halterung des Spenders an einer Wand vorgesehen sein. Furthermore, a fastening device can be attached to the closure or the container be provided for holding the dispenser on a wall.

Der Behälter des erfindungsgemäßen Spenders ist vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff gefertigt. Dem Verwendungszweck entsprechend weist der Behälter eine annähernd kubische Form auf. Die Aufbewahrung von feuchten Toilettentüchern ist dadurch in dem Behälter besonders gut möglich. Aus Gründen der besseren Handhabbarkeit und/oder aus optischen Gründen können die Seitenwände des Behälters, insbesondere die Vorderwand gewölbt ausgebildet sein. Die Innenabmessungen des Behälters sind vorzugsweise größer bemessen als der zur Aufbewahrung der Tücher benötigte Raum. Dadurch wird das Herausnehmen der einzelnen Tücher erleichtert.The container of the dispenser according to the invention is preferably made of Made of plastic. The container points to the intended use an approximately cubic shape. The storage of moist Toilet towels are particularly well possible in the container. Out For reasons of better handling and / or for optical reasons can the side walls of the container, in particular the front wall curved be trained. The inside dimensions of the container are preferred larger than the space needed to store the towels. This makes it easier to remove the individual wipes.

Auch der Verschluss des Spenders ist vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff hergestellt. Bei einer einstückigen Ausbildung des Verschlusses kann die gelenkige Verbindung zwischen Deckel und Rahmen als Filmscharnier ausgebildet sein. Der Deckel und der Rahmen können jedoch auch zwei- oder mehrstückig gefertigt sein und dann zu dem Verschluss zusammengefügt werden. Zur Ausbildung eines Gelenks zwischen dem Rahmen und dem Deckel oder zur Versteifung des Rahmens und/oder des Deckels können auch Versteifungsstege aus Kunststoff oder Metall in dem Verschluss vorgesehen sein.The closure of the dispenser is also preferably made of plastic. With an integral design of the closure, the articulated connection be formed as a film hinge between the lid and frame. The However, the lid and the frame can also be made in two or more pieces be and then put together to the closure. For training a hinge between the frame and the lid or for stiffening the frame and / or the cover can also be made of stiffening webs Plastic or metal can be provided in the closure.

Die Dichtlippe 8 des Deckels 4 ist etwas größer als die Dichtlippe 7 des Rahmens 3 dimensioniert, so dass bei einem Schließen des Deckels 4 auf dem Rahmen 3 die Dichtlippe 8 die Dichtlippe 7 umgreift und diese passgenau aneinander anliegen.A circumferential sealing lip 7 is formed on the frame 3 of the closure 2. There is also a circumferential one on the cover 4 of the closure 2 Sealing lip 8 is provided. The sealing lip 8 of the lid 4 is slightly larger than that Sealing lip 7 of the frame 3 dimensioned so that when the Cover 4 on the frame 3, the sealing lip 8 engages around the sealing lip 7 and these fit snugly against each other.

Im vorderen Bereich 9 des Deckels 4 ist ein Rücksprung 10 vorgesehen, der bei geschlossenem Deckel 4 einen deformierbaren Bereich 11 des Rahmens 3 freilässt. Der deformierbare Bereich 11 wird von einem dem Rücksprung 10 entsprechenden Rücksprung 12 in der umlaufenden Dichtlippe 7 am Rahmen 3 gebildet. Bei geschlossenem Deckel 4 liegen die beiden Rücksprünge 10 und 12 unter Spannung aneinander an und bilden damit eine zweite Rastverbindung. Wird auf den deformierbaren Tastbereich 11 ein Druck ausgeübt, gelangt der Rastvorsprung 13 am Rahmen 3 außer Eingriff mit dem Rastvorsprung 10 am Deckel 4, so dass der eingerastete Deckel freigegeben wird.In the front area 9 of the cover 4, a recess 10 is provided, which at closed lid 4 leaves a deformable area 11 of the frame 3. The deformable area 11 is of a corresponding to the recess 10 Recess 12 formed in the circumferential sealing lip 7 on the frame 3. When the cover 4 is closed, the two recesses 10 and 12 are located to each other under tension and thus form a second locking connection. If pressure is exerted on the deformable sensing area 11, the pressure is applied Locking projection 13 on the frame 3 out of engagement with the locking projection 10 on Cover 4 so that the locked cover is released.

An der Innenseite des Rahmens 3 ist umlaufend ein Wulst 12 ausgebildet, dessen Innenkontur annähernd der Außenkontur des Flansches 5 des Behälters 1 entspricht. Diese sorgen bei geschlossenem Deckel für einen weitgehend luftdichten Verschluss des Spenders.On the inside of the frame 3, a bead 12 is formed all around, the Inner contour approximately the outer contour of the flange 5 of the container 1 equivalent. When the lid is closed, these ensure a largely airtight seal Closure of the donor.

Wird der Verschluss 2 mit dem Rahmen 3 auf den Behälter 1 aufgesetzt, schnappt der Wulst 12 des Rahmens 3 über den Flansch 5 des Behälters 1 und bildet so die erste lösbare Rastverbindung, mit der der Verschluss 2 auf dem Behälter 1 befestigbar ist. Da der Wulst 12 den Flansch 5 allseitig umgreift, wird durch die Rastverbindung eine weitgehend luftdichte Verbindung zwischen dem Verschluss 2 und dem Behälter 1 hergestellt. Ein Entweichen von Feuchtigkeit aus dem Behälter kann über die Rastverbindung 13 damit nahezu ausgeschlossen werden.If the closure 2 with the frame 3 is placed on the container 1, the bead 12 of the frame 3 snaps over the flange 5 of the container 1 and thus forms the first releasable locking connection with which the closure 2 on the Container 1 is attachable. Since the bead 12 encompasses the flange 5 on all sides a largely airtight connection between the Closure 2 and the container 1 made. An escape of moisture can be almost excluded from the container via the locking connection 13 become.

Der Rahmen 3 und der Deckel 4 des Verschlusses 2 sind über ein Filmscharnier 14 gelenkig miteinander verbunden. Außerdem ist zwischen dem Deckel 4 und dem Rahmen 3 des Verschlusses 2 ein als Kunststoffstreifen 15 ausgebildetes elastisches Element vorgesehen. Der Kunststoffstreifen 15 ist dabei so zwischen dem Deckel 4 und dem Rahmen 3 angeordnet, dass der Streifen 15 sich bei geöffnetem Deckel 4 im Wesentlichen in einer Ebene erstreckt. Wird nun der Deckel 4 relativ zu dem Rahmen 3 verschwenkt, um den Deckel 4 zu schließen, wird der Kunststoffstreifen 15 umgebogen und dabei gespannt. Bei geschlossenem Deckel 4 beaufschlagt der Streifen 15 daher den Rahmen 3 und den Deckel 4 so zueinander, dass sich der Deckel 4, sobald er aus seiner Rastverbindung freigegeben wird, von selbst öffnet.The frame 3 and the lid 4 of the closure 2 are over one Film hinge 14 hinged together. Also, between that Cover 4 and the frame 3 of the closure 2 as a plastic strip 15 trained elastic element provided. The plastic strip 15 is arranged between the lid 4 and the frame 3 so that the Strip 15 is essentially in one plane when the cover 4 is open extends. If the cover 4 is now pivoted relative to the frame 3 to the To close the lid 4, the plastic strip 15 is bent and thereby curious; excited. When the cover 4 is closed, the strip 15 therefore acts on the Frame 3 and the lid 4 to each other so that the lid 4, as soon as it is released from its latching connection, opens by itself.

In dem durch die Rücksprünge 10 und 12 und den deformierbaren Tastbereich 11 definierten Bereich der Dichtlippen 7 und 8 des Rahmens 3 und des Deckels 4 wird, wie bereits ausgeführt, eine weitere Rastverbindung gebildet. Diese Rastverbindung hält den Deckel 4 gegen die Rückstellkraft des Kunststoffstreifens 15 geschlossen, so dass durch die dicht aneinander anliegenden Dichtlippen 7 und 8 des Rahmens 3 und des Deckels 4 ein annähernd luftdichtes Verschließen des Verschlusses 2 ermöglicht wird.In the by the recesses 10 and 12 and the deformable sensing area 11 defined area of the sealing lips 7 and 8 of the frame 3 and the lid 4, as already stated, a further latching connection is formed. This Snap connection holds the cover 4 against the restoring force of the plastic strip 15 closed, so that through the sealing lips close together 7 and 8 of the frame 3 and the lid 4 an almost airtight closure of the closure 2 is made possible.

Wird nun Druck auf den deformierbaren Tastbereich 11 des Rahmens 3 ausgeübt, so wird die Rastverbindung zwischen dem Deckel 4 und dem Rahmen 3 freigegeben. Unter der Rückstellkraft des elastischen Kunststoffstreifens 15 schwenkt der Deckel 4 damit in seine in Figur 2 gezeigte geöffnete Position.If pressure is now exerted on the deformable sensing area 11 of the frame 3, the locking connection between the cover 4 and the frame 3 Approved. Under the restoring force of the elastic plastic strip 15 the cover 4 thus pivots into its open position shown in FIG.

Weiterhin ist an der Oberseite des Deckels 4 ein zumindest teilweise umlaufender Steg 16 ausgebildet. Dieser Steg 16 weist eine Innenkontur auf, die im Wesentlichen der Außenkontur des Bodens des Behälters 1 entspricht. Zu Transport- oder Lagerzwecken können auf diese Weise mehrere erfindungsgemäße Spender aufeinander gestapelt werden. Furthermore, there is an at least partially circumferential at the top of the cover 4 Web 16 formed. This web 16 has an inner contour that is essentially corresponds to the outer contour of the bottom of the container 1. To transport or storage purposes can in this way several according to the invention Dispensers are stacked on top of each other.
