Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Sprühdose mit einem Dosenkörper zur Aufnahme des Sprühguts, wobei dem Dosenkörper eine Sprüheinrichtung für das Sprühgut und ein Farberkennungselement zur Anzeige der Farbe des Sprühguts zugeordnet ist, und einem Deckel zum Schutz der Sprüheinrichtung.The invention relates to a spray can with a can body for receiving the Sprühguts, wherein the can body is assigned a spraying device for the Sprühgut and a color detection element for displaying the color of the Sprühguts, and a lid for protecting the spray.

Sprühdosen der eingangs genannten Art sind seit langem aus der Praxis bekannt und existieren in den unterschiedlichsten Ausführungsformen. Dabei ist der Dosenkörper meist zylinderförmig ausgestaltet, wobei die Sprüheinrichtung an einer der Grundflächen des Zylinders angeordnet ist. Die Sprüheinrichtung ist meist durch einen Sprühkopf mit einem Sprühventil gebildet. Der Deckel ist häufig ebenfalls im Wesentlichen zylinderförmig ausgebildet, wobei eine Grundfläche des Zylinders weggelassen ist, um an den Dosenkörper im Bereich der Sprüheinrichtung anzukoppeln.Spray cans of the type mentioned are long known from practice and exist in a variety of embodiments. In this case, the can body is usually designed cylindrical, wherein the spray is arranged on one of the base surfaces of the cylinder. The spray is usually formed by a spray head with a spray valve. The lid is also often substantially cylindrical in shape with a base of the cylinder omitted to couple to the can body in the area of the sprayer.

Sprühdosen der eingangs genannten Art werden häufig zum Versprühen von farbigen Lacken verwendet. Zur Erkennung des Farbtons des im Dosenkörper aufgenommenen Lacks ist häufig entweder der Deckel entsprechend der aufgenommenen Lackfarbe vollständig eingefärbt oder ein Teil des Dosenkörpers entsprechend lackiert. Hierdurch ist beispielsweise beim Kauf der Sprühdose der Farbton des im Dosenkörper aufgenommenen Lacks sicher bestimmbar.Spray cans of the type mentioned are often used for spraying colored paints. To detect the color of the paint absorbed in the can body is often either the lid completely colored according to the recorded paint or a part of the can body painted accordingly. As a result, for example, when purchasing the spray can the color of the recorded in the can body paint safely determined.

Aus der DE 20 39 314 B ist eine Sprühdose mit allen Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Patentanspruchs 1 bekannt. Bei der bekannten Sprühdose ist auf dem Dom eine Farbschicht entsprechend der Farbe des Lackinhalts der Dose aufgebracht. Diese Signalfarbschicht dient als Farberkennungselement zur Anzeige der Farbe des Sprühguts.From DE 20 39 314 B a spray can with all features of the preamble of claim 1 is known. In the known aerosol can on the dome a color layer is applied according to the color of the paint content of the can. This signal color layer serves as a color recognition element for displaying the color of the spray material.

Des Weiteren ist aus der ES 1 039 242 U ebenfalls eine Sprühdose mit allen Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Patentanspruchs 1 bekannt. Die aus der Entgegenhaltung bekannte Sprühdose weist ebenfalls am Dom der Sprühdose ein Farberkennungselement zur Anzeige der Farbe des Sprühguts auf.Furthermore, from EP 1 039 242 U also a spray can with all features of the preamble of claim 1 is known. The aerosol can known from the citation also has a color recognition element on the dome of the aerosol for displaying the color of the spray material.

Bei den bekannten Sprühdosen ist problematisch, dass aufgrund der Anzeige des Farbtons des Lacks entweder mit einem vollständig eingefärbten Deckel oder mit einem lackierten Bereich auf dem Dosenkörper entweder der Deckel oder der Dosenkörper individuell für jeden Farbton hergestellt werden muss. Je mehr Farben ein Hersteller anbietet, desto mehr individuelle Dosenkörper und/oder Deckel sind durch den Hersteller zu produzieren. Dies ist einerseits zeitaufwendig bei der Herstellung, da die Dosenkörper oder die Deckel individuell erzeugt werden müssen, und auch bei der Lagerhaltung sehr aufwendig, da eine Lagerung mit farblicher Ordnung der Dosenkörper oder Deckel erforderlich ist. In jedem Fall sind hohe Herstellungskosten bei den herkömmlichen Sprühdosen die Folge.In the known spray cans is problematic that due to the display of the color of the paint either with a completely colored lid or with a painted area on the can body either the lid or the can body must be made individually for each color. The more colors a manufacturer offers, the more individual can bodies and / or lids are to be produced by the manufacturer. This is time consuming on the one hand in the production, since the can body or the lid must be created individually, and also very expensive in storage, since storage with color order of the can body or lid is required. In any case, high production costs in the conventional spray cans result.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Sprühdose der eingangs genannten Art derart auszugestalten und weiterzubilden, dass eine vereinfachte Herstellung mit reduzierten Kosten mit konstruktiv einfachen Mitteln erreicht ist.The present invention is therefore the object of a spray can of the type mentioned in such a way and further, that a simplified production with reduced costs is achieved with simple design means.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die voranstehende Aufgabe durch eine Sprühdose mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Danach ist die in Rede stehende Sprühdose derart ausgebildet, dass das Farberkennungselement dem Dosenkörper reversibel zugeordnet ist, dass das Farberkennungselement als ringartiger Außenmantel einer hohlen Kugelschicht oder eines hohlen Kegelstumpfs mit jeweils einem oberen kleineren und einem unteren größeren Durchgang ausgebildet ist und dass der Außenmantel mit dem Außenrand des unteren Durchgangs formschlüssig an dem inneren Umfang eines im oberen Bereich des Dosenkörpers ausgebildeten, ringartigen Falzes oder Dichtfalzes angeordnet ist.According to the invention the above object is achieved by a spray can with the features of claim 1. Thereafter, the spray can in question is formed such that the color detection element is reversibly associated with the can body that the color detection element is designed as a ring-like outer shell of a hollow spherical layer or a hollow truncated cone, each with an upper smaller and a lower major passage and that the outer shell with the Outer edge of the lower passage is positively arranged on the inner periphery of a formed in the upper region of the can body, annular fold or Dichtfalzes.

In erfindungsgemäßer Weise ist zunächst erkannt worden, dass es zur korrekten Anzeige der Farbe des Sprühguts nicht erforderlich ist, den Deckel oder den Dosenkörper einzufärben. Bei der Herstellung der Sprühdosen kann für jede Farbe des Sprühguts der gleiche ursprüngliche Dosenkörper und Deckel verwendet werden. Eine nach Farben sortierte Lagerung der Dosenkörper und Deckel - insbesondere vor der Befüllung des Dosenkörpers - ist nicht mehr erforderlich. Die Zuordnung des Farberkennungselements kann beispielsweise ganz am Ende des Herstellungs- bzw. Befüllungsprozesses der Sprühdose erfolgen.In accordance with the invention, it has first been recognized that it is not necessary for the correct display of the color of the spray material to color the cover or the can body. In the production of the spray cans the same original can body and lid can be used for each color of Sprühguts. A sorted by color storage of the can body and lid - especially before filling the can body - is no longer necessary. The assignment the color recognition element can be done, for example, at the very end of the production or filling process of the spray can.

Durch die reversible Zuordnung des Farberkennungselements zum Dosenkörper ist ermöglicht, dass das Farberkennungselement bei einer versehentlich unrichtigen Zuordnung zu dem Dosenkörper wieder entfernt werden und ein korrektes Farberkennungselement zugeordnet werden kann.The reversible assignment of the color recognition element to the can body makes it possible that the color recognition element can be removed in the event of an accidentally incorrect assignment to the can body and a correct color recognition element can be assigned.

Der Außenmantel könnte derart dem Dosenkörper zugeordnet oder derart auf dem Dosenkörper angeordnet werden, dass die Sprüheinrichtung quasi aus dem oberen kleineren Durchgang herausragt. Mit anderen Worten wäre die Sprüheinrichtung in diesem Fall von dem Außenmantel umgeben. Ein derartiger Außenmantel weist eine relativ große Farberkennungsfläche auf, was die Farberkennung insgesamt vereinfacht.The outer sheath could be assigned to the can body or arranged on the can body in such a way that the spraying device virtually protrudes from the upper smaller passage. In other words, in this case, the spray device would be surrounded by the outer jacket. Such an outer shell has a relatively large color detection surface, which simplifies the overall color detection.

Im Hinblick auf eine besonders deutliche und sichere Anzeige der Farbe des Sprühguts könnte das Farberkennungselement zumindest bereichsweise mit dem Sprühgut versehen oder lackiert sein. Damit ist die Originalfarbe des Sprühguts auf dem Farberkennungselement aufgebracht.With regard to a particularly clear and reliable indication of the color of Sprühguts the color detection element could be at least partially provided with the sprayed or painted. Thus, the original color of Sprühguts is applied to the color detection element.

Insbesondere bei einer Anordnung des Farberkennungselements im Bereich der Sprüheinrichtung könnte der Deckel zumindest bereichsweise im Wesentlichen transparent ausgebildet sein. Hierdurch ist auch bei geschlossenem Deckel und damit vom Deckel überdecktem Farberkennungselement die Identifizierung der Farbe des Sprühguts durch ein Blicken durch den Deckel hindurch möglich.In particular, in the case of an arrangement of the color recognition element in the region of the spraying device, the cover could at least partially be made substantially transparent. As a result, the identification of the color of the Sprühguts by looking through the lid is also possible with the lid closed and thus covered by the cover color recognition element.

Im Konkreten könnte das Farberkennungselement als Ring ausgebildet sein. Ein derartiger Ring könnte beispielsweise um die Sprüheinrichtung herum angeordnet werden, was eine Farberkennung aus quasi allen Blickrichtungen ermöglichen könnte. Der Ring könnte je nach Erfordernis offen oder geschlossen ausgebildet sein, wobei ein offener Ring meist einfacher vom Dosenkörper entfembar ist.Specifically, the color recognition element could be formed as a ring. Such a ring could, for example, be arranged around the spraying device, which could enable color recognition from virtually all viewing directions. The ring could be open or closed as required, with an open ring usually being more easily removable from the can body.

Der obige Außenmantel weist eine vorgebbare Materialdicke auf, die auf den jeweiligen Anwendungsfall abzustellen ist. Insbesondere bei einer nicht zu dicken Ausgestaltung des Außenmantels könnte der Außenmantel eine gewisse Elastizität aufweisen. Hierbei bietet sich als Material für den Außenmaterial insbesondere ein Kunststoff an. Aufgrund einer vorhandenen Elastizität könnte der Außenmantel mit Bereichen des Dosenkörpers eine wechselseitige Klemmwirkung bereitstellen, die zu einer sicheren Zuordnung des Farberkennungselements zu dem Dosenkörper beiträgt. Mit anderen Worten ist dann ein unbeabsichtigtes Lösen des Farberkennungselements von dem Dosenkörper weitestgehend vermieden.The above outer sheath has a predefinable material thickness, which is to be turned off on the respective application. In particular, in a not too thick configuration of the outer sheath, the outer sheath could have a certain elasticity. In this case, offers as a material for the outer material, in particular a plastic. Due to existing elasticity, the outer sheath could provide areas of the can body with a mutual clamping action that contributes to a secure association of the color detection element to the can body. In other words, unintentional release of the color recognition element from the can body is largely avoided.

Sprühdosen für Farben bzw. Lacke weisen meist einen Dichtfalz auf, der letztendlich direkt um die Sprüheinrichtung ringartig ausgebildet ist. Hierdurch wird eine Abdichtung zwischen dem Dosenkörper und der Sprüheinrichtung erreicht, die meist als separates Element an dem Dosenkörper befestigt wird. Des Weiteren kann eine herkömmliche Sprühdose einen weiteren Falz oder Dichtfalz aufweisen, der im oberen Bereich des Dosenkörpers ausgebildet ist und letztendlich auch als Verstärkung dient. Im Hinblick auf eine besonders einfache Zuordnung des Au-ßenmantels zu dem Dosenkörper könnte der innere Rand des oberen Durchgangs des Außenmantels - sich nach innen erweiternd - angeschrägt sein. Beim Zuordnen des Außenmantels zu dem Dosenkörper rutscht der Außenmantel aufgrund der Anschrägung somit einfacher über den ringartigen Dichtfalz zwischen Sprüheinrichtung und Dosenkörper.Spray cans for paints or varnishes usually have a sealing fold, which is finally formed ring-like directly around the spray. As a result, a seal between the can body and the spray is achieved, which is usually attached as a separate element to the can body. Furthermore, a conventional spray can have a further fold or sealing fold, which is formed in the upper region of the can body and ultimately serves as a reinforcement. With regard to a particularly simple assignment of the outer sheath to the can body, the inner edge of the upper passage of the outer sheath - could be bevelled - widening inwardly. When assigning the outer jacket to the can body, the outer shell thus slips easier due to the bevel on the annular sealing fold between the spray and can body.

Ebenfalls im Hinblick auf ein vereinfachtes Zuordnen oder Anordnen des Außenmantels zu oder an dem Dosenkörper könnte der Außenmantel im Bereich des Außenrands des unteren Durchgangs - zum unteren Durchgang oder zu seinem freien Ende hin - sich verjüngend angespitzt sein. Eine derartige im Außenbereich des Außenmantels vorgesehene Anspitzung des Außenmantels quasi in Richtung seiner inneren Achse vereinfacht ein Entlangführen oder Entlangrutschen des Außenmantels entlang dem ringartigen Falz oder Dichtfalz im oberen Bereich des Dosenkörpers.Also with regard to a simplified allocation or arrangement of the outer shell to or on the can body, the outer shell in the region of the outer edge of the lower passage - to the lower passage or to its free end - tapered be sharpened. Such provided in the outer region of the outer shell tapering of the outer sheath quasi in the direction of its inner axis simplifies Entlangführen or slipping along the outer sheath along the annular fold or Dichtfalz in the upper region of the can body.

Zur Erzeugung einer besonders sicheren Klemmwirkung zwischen Außenmantel und ringartigem Dichtfalz im Bereich der Sprüheinrichtung könnte der Innendurchmesser des oberen Durchgangs geringfügig kleiner sein als der Außendurchmesser des um die Sprüheinrichtung ausgebildeten, ringartigen Dichtfalzes des Dosenkörpers. Zum Anordnen des Außenmantels um den Dichtfalz bzw. entlang dem Dichtfalz ist dabei eine gewisse Kraft aufzuwenden, die den oberen Durchgang geringfügig elastisch dehnt, um einen sicheren Sitz an dem Dichtfalz oder einen sicheren Sitz unterhalb des Dichtfalzes nach Einnehmen des ursprünglichen ungedehnten Zustands des oberen Durchgangs zu erreichen. Im letztgenannten Fall müsste der Dichtfalz einen Bereich mit geringerem Außendurchmesser aufweisen. Alternativ zu einem derartigen geringeren Außendurchmesser könnte der Außenmantel soweit entlang dem Dichtfalz geführt werden, bis der Außenmantel quasi unterhalb des Dichtfalzes in einem Bereich geringeren Durchmessers ankommt.To produce a particularly secure clamping action between outer shell and ring-like sealing fold in the area of the spraying device, the inner diameter could of the upper passage to be slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the formed around the spray, ring-like Dichtfalzes the can body. In order to place the outer sheath around the sealing fold or along the sealing fold, a certain amount of force is needed to stretch the upper passage slightly elastically to ensure a secure fit on the sealing fold or a secure fit below the sealing fold after assuming the original unstretched state of the upper passage to reach. In the latter case, the sealing fold would have to have a region with a smaller outside diameter. As an alternative to such a smaller outer diameter, the outer sheath could be guided along the sealing fold until the outer sheath arrives quasi below the sealing fold in a region of smaller diameter.

Der Außendurchmesser des Außenmantels könnte im Bereich des unteren Durchgangs geringfügig größer sein als der Innendurchmesser des im oberen Bereich des Dosenkörpers ausgebildeten, ringartigen Falzes oder Dichtfalzes des Dosenkörpers. Hierdurch könnte wiederum eine Klemmwirkung aufgrund einer Elastizität des Außenmantels im Bereich des Falzes oder Dichtfalzes erreicht werden. Dies hätte eine besonders sichere Anordnung des Außenmantels am Dosenkörper zur Folge.The outer diameter of the outer sheath could be slightly larger in the region of the lower passage than the inner diameter of the formed in the upper region of the can body, annular fold or Dichtfalzes the can body. In this way, in turn, a clamping action could be achieved due to an elasticity of the outer sheath in the region of the fold or sealing fold. This would result in a particularly secure arrangement of the outer jacket on the can body.

Der Außenmantel könnte sich letztendlich vom Dichtfalz um die Sprüheinrichtung bis zum Falz oder Dichtfalz im oberen Bereich des Dosenkörpers erstrecken.The outer jacket could ultimately extend from the sealing fold around the spraying device to the fold or sealing fold in the upper region of the can body.

Sowohl im Hinblick auf eine sichere Anordnung des Deckels auf dem Dosenkörper als auch im Hinblick auf eine einfache Zusammenfügung des Deckels mit dem Farberkennungselement könnte der Deckel elastisch ausgebildet sein. Dabei könnte der Deckel insbesondere aus Kunststoff ausgebildet sein.Both with regard to a secure arrangement of the lid on the can body as well as in terms of a simple assembly of the lid with the color detection element of the lid could be formed elastically. In this case, the lid could be formed in particular of plastic.

Fig. 1 zeigt in einer schematischen Seitenansicht das Ausführungsbeispiel einer erfindungsgemäßen Sprühdose. Die Sprühdose weist einen Dosenkörper 1 zur Aufnahme des Sprühguts auf, wobei dem Dosenkörper 1 eine Sprüheinrichtung 2 für das Sprühgut zugeordnet ist. Des Weiteren weist die Sprühdose einen Deckel 3 zum Schutz der Sprüheinrichtung 2 auf. Im Hinblick auf eine vereinfachte Herstellung mit reduzierten Kosten ist die Sprühdose derart ausgestaltet, dass dem Dosenkörper 1 oder dem Deckel 3 ein Farberkennungselement 4 zur Anzeige der Farbe des Sprühguts zugeordnet ist.Fig. 1 shows a schematic side view of the embodiment of a spray can according to the invention. The spray can has a can body 1 for receiving the spray material, wherein the can body 1 is assigned a spraying device 2 for the spray material. Furthermore, the spray can has a cover 3 for protecting the spray device 2. With a view to a simplified production with reduced costs, the spray can is designed such that the can body 1 or the cover 3 is associated with a color detection element 4 for displaying the color of Sprühguts.

Das Farberkennungselement 4 ist zumindest in seinem Außenbereich mit dem Sprühgut lackiert, so dass sich letztendlich auf dem Farberkennungselement 4 dasselbe Sprühgut bzw. derselbe Lack befindet wie in dem Dosenkörper 1. Der Deckel 3 ist transparent ausgebildet, so dass das Farberkennungselement 4 auch bei geschlossenem Deckel 3 von außen sichtbar ist.The color recognition element 4 is painted with the spray material, at least in its outer area, so that ultimately the same spray material or the same paint is located on the color detection element 4 as in the can body 1. The lid 3 is transparent, so that the color detection element 4 even with the lid closed 3 is visible from the outside.

Das Farberkennungselement 4 ist dem Dosenkörper 1 reversibel zugeordnet. Das Farberkennungselement 4 ist letztendlich als geschlossener Ring ausgebildet, wobei das Farberkennungselement 4 genauer gesagt als ringartiger Außenmantel 5 einer hohlen Kugelschicht mit jeweils einem oberen kleineren und einem unteren größeren Durchgang 6 und 7 ausgebildet ist. Mit anderen Worten ist das Farberkennungselement 4 schalenartig ausgebildet.The color recognition element 4 is reversibly associated with the can body 1. The color recognition element 4 is finally formed as a closed ring, wherein the color recognition element 4 is more precisely formed as a ring-like outer shell 5 a hollow spherical layer, each having an upper smaller and a lower major passage 6 and 7. In other words, the color recognition element 4 is dish-shaped.

Der Außenmantel 5 ist elastisch aus Kunststoff ausgebildet, so dass ein einfaches Anordnen des Außenmantels 5 auf dem Dosenkörper 1 ermöglicht ist. Der innere Rand 8 des oberen Durchgangs 6 ist sich nach innen erweiternd angeschrägt. Des Weiteren ist der Außenmantel 5 im Bereich des Außenrands 9 des unteren Durchgangs 7 sich verjüngend angespitzt. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass der Außenmantel 5 einfacher an einem Dichtfalz 10 und an einem Dichtfalz 11 des Dosenkörpers entlanggleiten kann, wenn der Außenmantel 5 auf den Dosenkörper 1 aufgesetzt wird. Der Dichtfalz 10 bildet dabei den Übergang vom oberen Teil des Dosenkörpers 1 zur Sprüheinrichtung 2. Der Dichtfalz 11 bildet den Übergang von dem zylinderförmigen Mantel des Dosenkörpers 1 zum oftmals konisch ausgebildeten oberen Teil des Dosenkörpers 1.The outer jacket 5 is elastically formed from plastic, so that a simple arrangement of the outer jacket 5 on the can body 1 is made possible. The inner edge 8 of the upper passage 6 is tapered inwardly widening. Furthermore, the outer jacket 5 is sharply tapered in the region of the outer edge 9 of the lower passage 7. This has the advantage that the outer jacket 5 can slide along a sealing fold 10 and a sealing fold 11 of the can body more easily when the outer jacket 5 is placed on the can body 1. The sealing fold 10 forms the transition from the upper part of the can body 1 to the spray 2. The sealing fold 11 forms the transition from the cylindrical shell of the can body 1 to the often conical upper part of the can body. 1

Der Innendurchmesser des oberen Durchgangs 6 ist geringfügig kleiner als der Außendurchmesser des ringartigen Dichtfalzes 10. D. h., dass der Außenmantel 5 nach seiner Anordnung auf dem Dosenkörper 1 quasi unterhalb des Dichtfalzes 10 in einem verengten Bereich unterhalb des Dichtfalzes 10 eingerastet ist.The inner diameter of the upper passage 6 is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the ring-like Dichtfalzes 10. D. h. That the outer jacket 5 is snapped after its arrangement on the can body 1 almost below the Dichtfalzes 10 in a narrowed region below the Dichtfalzes 10.

Der Außenmantel 5 liegt mit dem Außenrand 9 des unteren Durchgangs 7 quasi formschlüssig an dem inneren Umfang des Dichtfalzes 11 des Dosenkörpers an. Hierzu könnte der Außendurchmesser des Außenmantels 5 im Bereich des unteren Durchgangs 7 geringfügig größer ausgebildet sein als der Innendurchmesser des Dichtfalzes 11. Damit wäre quasi ein Anschmiegen des Außenmantels 5 am inneren Umfang des Dichtfalzes 11 realisiert.The outer jacket 5 is connected to the outer edge 9 of the lower passage 7 quasi form-fitting manner on the inner circumference of the sealing fold 11 of the can body. For this purpose, the outer diameter of the outer jacket 5 in the region of the lower passage 7 could be made slightly larger than the inner diameter of the sealing fold 11. This would almost a snuggling of the outer jacket 5 on the inner circumference of the sealing fold 11 realized.

Der Außenmantel 5 erstreckt sich im Wesentlichen von dem oberen Dichtfalz 10 zu dem unteren Dichtfalz 11.The outer jacket 5 extends substantially from the upper sealing fold 10 to the lower sealing fold 11.

Der Deckel 3 weist Ausnehmungen 12, die sein Teil von der Erfindung sind, für ein Farberkennungselement 4 auf. Insoweit könnte auch dem Deckel 3 ein Farberkennungselement 4 zugeordnet werden. Im Konkreten sind die Außnehmungen 12 in Auflagestegen 13 des Deckels 3 ausgebildet, die zur Auflage auf dem Dosenkörper 1 dienen. Der Deckel 3 ist ebenfalls elastisch und aus Kunststoff ausgebildet.The cover 3 has recesses 12, which are part of the invention, for a color recognition element 4. In that regard, the lid 3, a color detection element 4 could be assigned. Specifically, the recesses 12 are formed in support webs 13 of the lid 3, which serve to rest on the can body 1. The lid 3 is also elastic and made of plastic.

Die Fig. 2 bis 4 zeigen das als Außenmantel 5 ausgebildete Farberkennungselement 4 in einer schematischen Seitenansicht, in einer schematischen Draufsicht sowie in einer perspektivischen Ansicht, jeweils vergrößert. Dabei sind der obere Durchgang 6 und der untere Durchgang 7 besonders gut erkennbar.FIGS. 2 to 4 show the color recognition element 4 embodied as an outer jacket 5 in a schematic side view, in a schematic plan view and in a perspective view, in each case enlarged. In this case, the upper passage 6 and the lower passage 7 are particularly clearly visible.
