Definitions

  • the invention relates to a metering device with a pumping device and an actuating handle associated with the pumping device, wherein the actuating handle is manufactured as a separate component and attached to the pumping device and wherein on a component of the pumping device, a protective cap enclosing at least one discharge opening is releasably securable.
  • actuating handles are integrally formed on a corresponding housing part of the pumping device. This is in particular on the DE 33 15 334 A1 referenced, from which the one-piece molding of an actuating handle on a housing body designed as a nose olive is known.
  • a discharge device in which a handle is designed as a separate component. This handle and a cap of the discharge are dimensioned so that the handle must be firmly connected before fitting the cap with the discharge.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a metering device of the type mentioned, which has a reduced production cost.
  • the protective cap is adapted to the shape of the actuating handle so that the handle can be attached to the pumping device even when the protective cap is fastened. This makes it possible to mount the actuating handle as the last component on the pumping device. It is not necessary to remove the protective cap from the pumping device before mounting the actuating handle.
  • the final assembly can in particular also be carried out by the user, so that it is possible to pack the actuating handle in the unassembled state of the metering device, so that a smaller packing volume can be achieved as a result.
  • the manufacturer of the metering device does not have to do the assembly himself.
  • the actuating handle is attached by means of a latching connection to the pump device.
  • the locking connection is designed as a permanent connection.
  • This type of connection between actuating handle and pumping device allows a simple, especially tool-free installation, for example by the user. At the same time, however, it is suitable to transmit sufficient forces of the actuating handle on the pumping device. Due to the non-releasability of the connection between the actuating handle and the pumping device, it is possible to have both an actuating force in the sense of effecting a discharge stroke and a force acting in the opposite direction of force Force to initiate. So it's not just a discharge stroke manually generated, but also a return stroke. At the same time, the production of the non-detachable connection also provides protection against subsequent manipulation.
  • the shaped body in which the actuating handle is formed as the media storage at least partially surrounding moldings.
  • the shaped body has a substantially cylindrical basic shape.
  • the shaped body deviates from the basic cylindrical shape, for. B. a relief structure or instead of the purely cylindrical basic shape in cross-section oval or elliptical basic shape.
  • one of the end faces of the cylindrical basic shape may be open.
  • the one end face opposite the other end face may be formed at least substantially closed and have an opening for placement on the pumping device.
  • the outer shape of a metering device can be determined at least partially by the actuating handle. It is thereby changed in a simple manner, without having to change anything in the construction of the metering device, the pumping device or their shape.
  • the separation of functional components and the actuation handle that is decisive for the design is advantageous, so that different actuation handles for the same functional device can optionally be used.
  • Only the already separately mountable actuating handle is designed in different ways. The changes in the design can affect both the color and the shape. Thus, different colorations are possible, whereby metering devices for different people or with different content are distinguishable from each other. Multi-component injection molded parts with different haptic designs can be used particularly advantageously.
  • a discharge stroke is already carried out when placing the actuating handle.
  • a discharge stroke can unconsciously already be generated when placing the handle, whereby the number of further strokes that are required for priming is reduced.
  • the priming is the filling of the pumping chamber of the pumping device with medium from the media reservoir, to ensure that actually takes place a stipulateaustrag in the desired dosage through the discharge opening.

  • the receiving part 2b similar to the embodiment of FIG Fig. 2 to 4 is designed separately to a closure lid 1b.
  • the closure lid 1b is designed as a crimping lid, which can be placed on a corresponding container neck of a media store.
  • the placement of the receiving part 2b together with the closure lid 1b designed as a crimp lid takes place with the interposition of an unspecified, circumferential elastic seal.
  • the actuating handle 20b has a cup-shaped protective extension 22b, which is pulled down over the closure lid 1b designed as a crimping lid, so that the protective extension 22b axially covers a crimping region of the closure lid 1b designed as a crimping lid.
  • a release of the closure lid 1b is avoided by a corresponding container neck of a media storage, as soon as the actuating handle 20b on the outer pump housing part 8b of the pumping device as shown and described Fig. 1 is locked.
  • the separately produced actuating handle is only mounted on the pump housing part 8b when the closure lid 1b is crimped onto a corresponding container neck of a media reservoir. Because with already aufgerasteter actuating handle 22b no crimping would be possible.
