- the object of the invention is therefore to improve a generic, lockable actuating device in such a way that it can be immediately recognized in each viewing direction whether the device is in the actuating position or in the locked position.
- the object of the invention is further to provide a simplification with regard to the locking or locking device for the protective cap.
- the invention solves this problem for a lockable actuating device of the aforementioned type in that the base body and the protective cap form a display device for the locked position and the ready position of the protective cap, the parts of the base body and the protective cap interacting in the sense of an indication of the operating state of the actuating device extend their entire circumference visibly and, depending on the respective rotational position of the protective cap, the blocking position in which the protective cap covers the dispensing opening and neither axially nor in is movable in a first direction of rotation, or the actuating position of the protective cap is visible, in which the protective cap with its passage opening is positioned in front of the dispensing opening of the base body and is axially movable for actuating the dispensing device of the container.
- the observer of a container equipped with this device can see from practically any observation position whether the actuation device is in the ready position for actuation of the dispensing device of the container or whether it is locked. Since the display of the operating state of the actuating device can be provided on the outside thereof and can also be recognized haptically, the actuating device is also of particular help for the visually impaired. Furthermore, additional locking means which impair economic production of the actuating device are generally unnecessary.
- the invention further provides that the lower, free edge of the cap shell has at least one projection and at least one recess, which extend axially and in the circumferential direction and are alternately arranged in the circumferential direction, and that the cylindrical outer wall of the base body is provided with an annular shoulder which has at least one projection and at least one recess which are complementary to the at least one projection and the at least one recess of the protective cap, such that in the ready position of the protective cap the at least one projection thereof is arranged opposite the at least one recess of the base body and vice versa, and in the locked position the at least one protrusion of the protective cap is opposite the at least one protrusion of the base body and the at least one recess of the protective cap is opposite the at least one recess of the base body.
- the projections and recesses can be circular segment, sinus triangular or trapezoidal.
- the free edge of the protective cap and an annular shoulder of the base body have a wave shape extending in the circumferential direction, the projections being formed by wave heads and the recesses being formed by wave troughs of the wave shape.
- Four projections and four recesses are preferably arranged on the circumference of the protective cap and the base body.
- the at least one protrusion of the protective cap in the blocking position should rest against the at least one protrusion of the base body as far as possible in order to ensure that the protective cap is properly locked in the blocking position.
- a first part of a latching device is provided on at least one projection of the protective cap and a second, complementary part of the latching device is provided in the locked position on at least one projection of the base body, so that the protective cap is positively locked is formed in the locked position and / or a stop against further rotation beyond the locked position.
- the first part of the locking device can be a round locking notch and the second part of the locking device can be a complementary, round locking cam.
- the second part of the latching device can be a trapezoidal or rectangular latching cam and the first part of the latching device can be a round latching lug and have a spaced stop surface, the latching cams being able to engage in a form-fitting manner between the two latter in the locked position of the protective cap.

- 14 and 18 in particular show that the outlet tube 150 extends freely between radially inward between two stiffening bases 160 of the base body 32 which project in the shape of a truncated cone and which are circular in section as far as the tube stub 40 to a width which approximately corresponds to the outer diameter of the tube stub 40 equivalent.
- the head plate 34 covers on the side facing away from the outlet pipe 150 over half of the cross section of the base body 32 up to the vicinity of the upper, circular edge of the base body 32.
- the head plate 34 of the base body 32 is fixed in its position by the flexible connection 158 of the front, lower end of the nozzle base 42 to the base body 32 and by the pipe socket 40 attached to the shaft of the dispenser of the container bendable downward when pressure is applied to the protective cap 50 to actuate the dispenser.
- the bendable end of the head plate 34 diametrically opposite the discharge opening 49 forms, together with a corresponding part inside the protective cap 50, a haptic adjusting device 122.
- one of the discharge openings 49 protrudes diametrically opposite edge 162 of the head plate 34 two flexible spring arms 164, 166 at a distance parallel to one another radially outward beyond the edge of the head plate 34.
- Their free front ends are, viewed in the plan according to FIG. 18, arranged at a certain distance, still to be explained, from the inner wall of the base body 32 and the protective cap 50.
- the outer edge of the head plate 34 is provided on both sides of these two spring arms 164, 166, ie in both directions of rotation of the protective cap 50, with cutouts 168, 170 extending in the circumferential direction of the head plate 34, so that the spring arms 164, 166 over the edge of these cutouts 164, 166 project freely.
- the two cutouts 168, 170 each extend in opposite circumferential directions over approximately 45 ° if, as in the present case, the base body 32 and the protective cap 50 are each provided with four projections 60, 62 and recesses 64, 66.
- the ends of the two cutouts 168, 170 are delimited by radially extending stop surfaces 172, 174.
- the protective cap 50 is provided on the inside with an adjusting lug 176 which extends in a central longitudinal plane of the protective cap 50 and which is diametrically opposite to the passage opening 52 in the protective cap 50.
- the alignment flag 176 is an integral part of the protective cap 50 and is firmly connected to the underside of the concave finger dent 138 and to the inner wall of the curved section 140 of the protective cap 50 below the finger dent 138.
- the adjusting lug 176 extends in the vertical direction up to the height of the underside of the head plate 34 in its unactuated position according to FIG. 15.
- the adjusting lug 176 extends radially inward over a distance that is greater than the distance that the free, Take radially outwardly projecting ends of the spring arms 164, 166 and the radially extending abutment surfaces 172, 174 at the ends of the cutouts 168, 170 in the head plate 34 opposite the inner wall of the protective cap 50.
- the adjusting flag 176 must bend the front, free end of one of the two spring arms 164, 166 laterally in order to be able to assume the middle position between the two spring arms 164, 166, which corresponds to the ready position of the protective cap 50.
- This process is haptically transmitted to the operator, ie the operator's hand feels and / or hears the adjustment flag 176 snapping between the two spring arms 164, 166.
- the use of this additional adjusting device for the protective cap 50 of a container closure is therefore particularly useful for containers, whose operation should also be possible for the visually and / or hearing impaired.
