Abstract

The invention relates to a device (1) for receiving and discharging a spreadable material. Said device comprises a tubular receiving element (2) in which a piston-type element (18) provided with an inside thread (19), locked against rotation, and carrying the spreadable material is arranged in such a way that it can be displaced in the longitudinal direction from the bottom (7) of the tube of the receiving element (2) to the discharge end (3) and back. Said piston-type element can be displaced by an externally operable base-type twist grip (10) which is provided on the other end of the receiving element (2). Said twist grip (10) comprises a screw rod (15) which is rotatably positioned in a through hole (8) of the bottom (7) of the tube and is held in the axial direction. Said screw rod co-operates with the inside thread (19) of the piston-type element (18). The aim of the invention is to improve one such device in such a way that torsional stress of the rod (15) is also avoided during misoperation. To this end, the outside thread (16) of the screw rod (15) in the region adjacent to the bottom (7) of the tube merges into a thread-free region (17) of the rod (15), said thread-free region having a smaller outer diameter in relation to the inner diameter of the inside thread (19) of the piston-type element (18), in such a way that the rod (15) can slide through in the lowest position of the piston-type element (18) during further rotation in relation to the piston-type element (18).

Description

"Vorrichtung zur Abgabe eines streichfähigen Materials" "Device for dispensing a spreadable material"
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Abgabe eines streichfähigen (d.h. hochviskosen) Materials mit einem hülsenförmigen Aufnahmeelement, in welchem in Längsrichtung vom Hülsenboden des Aufnahmeelementes bis zum Abgabeende verschiebbar, verdrehsicher ein mit einem Innengewinde versehenes, das streichfähige Material tragendes, kolbenförmiges Element angeordnet ist, welches von einem von außen bedienbaren, am anderen Ende des Aufnahmeelementes vorgesehenen sockeiförmigen Drehgriff verschiebbar ist, wobei der Drehgriff eine in einer Durchtrittsöffnung des Hülsenbodens drehbar gelagerte und in Axialrichtung gehaltene Schraubspindel aufweist, die mit dem Innengewinde des kolbenförmigen Elementes zusammenwirkt.The invention relates to a device for dispensing a spreadable (ie highly viscous) material with a sleeve-shaped receiving element, in which a piston-shaped element which is provided with an internal thread and carries the brushable material and is arranged to be displaceable in the longitudinal direction from the sleeve bottom of the receiving element to the end of delivery is displaceable from an externally operable, sock-shaped rotary handle provided at the other end of the receiving element, the rotary handle having a screw spindle which is rotatably mounted in an opening in the base of the sleeve and held in the axial direction and which cooperates with the internal thread of the piston-shaped element.
Eine derartige Vorrichtung der Anmelderin ist seit langem bekannt, beispielsweise in der Ausgestaltung gemäß DE 195 01 213 C2. Ein solcher bekannter Klebestift weist eine zylindrische Hülse auf, deren offenes Abgabeende bei Nichtgebrauch zwecks Vermeidung des Austrocknens der in der Hülse befindlichen Klebemasse mit einer lösbaren Verschlusskappe versehen ist. Die Klebemasse innerhalb der Hülse ist in ein kolbenförmiges Element eingegossen und zusammen mit diesem in der Hülse verdrehsicher gehalten und in Längsrichtung in der Hülse in beide Richtungen verschiebbar angeordnet, wobei zur Verschiebung das kolbenförmige Element mit einer Innengewindebohrung versehen ist, in welche eine Schraubspindel eingreift, die sich über der gesamten Länge der Hülse und damit auch durch die Klebemasse hindurch erstreckt und endseitig einstückig in einen rändelmutterartigen sockeiförmigen Drehgriff übergeht, der am anderen Ende der Hülse drehbar gelagert ist und nach außen, also am Fuße der Hülse, aus dieser hervorsteht und eine Handhabung der Vorrichtung ermöglicht, indem bei festgehaltener Hülse mit dem Drehgriff in die eine oder andere Richtung gedreht wird, so dass das kolbenförmige Element und die damit verbundene Klebemasse gegenüber der Hülse in der einen oder anderen Richtung bewegt wird und entweder eine Klebstoffabgabe oder ein Wiedereinziehen der Klebstoffmasse in die Hülse ermöglicht.Such a device by the applicant has long been known, for example in the configuration according to DE 195 01 213 C2. Such a known glue stick has a cylindrical sleeve, the open discharge end of which is provided with a releasable closure cap when not in use in order to avoid drying out of the adhesive in the sleeve. The adhesive within the sleeve is poured into a piston-shaped element and is held together with it in the sleeve so that it cannot rotate and can be displaced in the longitudinal direction in the sleeve in both directions, the piston-shaped element being provided with an internally threaded bore for displacement in which a screw spindle engages. which extends over the entire length of the sleeve and thus also through the adhesive and ends integrally into a knurled nut-like sock-shaped rotary handle, which is rotatably mounted at the other end of the sleeve and protrudes outwards, i.e. at the foot of the sleeve, and one Handling of the device is made possible by turning the handle in one direction or the other while holding the sleeve, so that the piston-shaped element and the associated adhesive are moved relative to the sleeve in one direction or the other and either one Adhesive delivery or retraction of the adhesive mass in the sleeve allows.
Diese bekannte Vorrichtung hat sich seit langer Zeit bestens bewährt, da sie einen leicht zu handhabenden und gleichzeitig sehr stabilen Gegenstand zur Verfügung stellt. In der Praxis hat sich jedoch herausgestellt, dass bei unsachgemäßer Handhabung dann, wenn sich der Kolben in der untersten Stellung befindet, beim Weiterdrehen der Spindel die Spindel so stark torsionsbelastet wird, dass diese abbricht bzw. abreißt. Dies führt zu einer Zerstörung der Vorrichtung, diese ist nicht mehr funktionsfähig. Der gleiche ungewünschte Effekt kann unter Umständen auch vor dem Abfüllvorgang wäh rend der maschinellen Montage der Vorrichtung erfolgen, wenn das hülsenförmige Element vor der Abfüllung der streichfähigen Masse in die Vorrichtung in die unterste Position durch entsprechende Drehung der Spindel gebracht wird.This known device has proven itself for a long time since it provides an easy-to-use and at the same time very stable object. In practice, however, it has been found that if the piston is in the lowest position, if the piston is in the lowest position, the spindle will be subjected to such high torsional loads that it breaks off or breaks off. This leads to the destruction of the device, which is no longer functional. The same undesired effect can possibly also take place before the filling process during machine assembly of the device if the sleeve-shaped element is brought into the lowest position by appropriate rotation of the spindle before the spreadable mass is filled into the device.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine gattungsgemäße Vorrichtung so zu verbessern, dass eine Torsionsbelastung der Spindel auch bei Fehlbedienung und ein dadurch bedingter Spindelabriss zuverlässig vermieden wird.The object of the invention is to improve a generic device in such a way that a torsional load on the spindle, even when operated incorrectly, and a resulting spindle breakage are reliably avoided.
Diese Aufgabe wird mit einer Vorrichtung der eingangs bezeichneten Art erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass das Außengewinde der Schraubspindel im an den Hülsenboden angrenzenden Bereich in einen gewindefreien Bereich der Spindel übergeht, der einen gegenüber dem Innendurchmesser des Innengewindes des kolbenförmigen Elementes geringeren Außendurchmesser aufweist, derart, dass die Spindel in unterster Position des kolbenförmigen Elementes bei Weiterdrehung gegenüber dem kolbenförmigen Element durchrutschen kann.This object is achieved according to the invention with a device of the type mentioned at the outset in that the external thread of the screw spindle in the region adjoining the sleeve base merges into a thread-free region of the spindle which has a smaller external diameter than the internal diameter of the internal thread of the piston-shaped element, such that the spindle can slip in the lowest position of the piston-shaped element with further rotation relative to the piston-shaped element.
Da sich bei der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung das Außengewinde der Schraubspindel nicht mehr über der gesamten Höhe des Verschiebeweges des kolbenförmigen Elementes erstreckt, sondern es im untersten Bereich unter Ausbildung eines gewindefreien Bereiches mit geringerem Außendurchmesser fehlt, wird ermöglicht, dass sich in unterster Position des kolbenförmigen Elementes beim Weiterdrehen der Spindel die Spindel gegenüber dem kolbenförmigen Element durchrutschen kann. Dadurch wird die Spindel nicht mehr auf Torsion belastet und kann auch bei Fehlbedienung nicht abreißen, so dass die Vorrichtung insgesamt zuverlässig funktionsfähig bleibt.Since in the device according to the invention the external thread of the screw spindle no longer extends over the entire height of the displacement path of the piston-shaped element, but under it in the lowest region The formation of a thread-free area with a smaller outside diameter is made possible, so that in the lowest position of the piston-shaped element the spindle can slip relative to the piston-shaped element when the spindle is turned further. As a result, the spindle is no longer subjected to torsion and cannot tear off even when operated incorrectly, so that the device as a whole remains reliably functional.
Um zu vermeiden, dass das kolbenförmige Element bzw. dessen Innengewinde vollständig außer Kontakt mit dem Gewindebereich der Spindel gelangt, wenn sich das kolbenförmige Element in unterster Position befindet, ist vorgesehen, dass die Länge des gewindefreien Bereiches der Spindel geringer ist als die Länge des Innengewindes des kolbenförmigen Elementes. Wird die Spindel dann in anderer, umgekehrter Richtung gedreht, kann das kolbenförmige Element problemlos wieder zum Abgabeende hin verschoben werden, da es nicht vollständig außer Kontakt mit dem Außengewinde der Spindel gelangt.In order to avoid that the piston-shaped element or its internal thread comes completely out of contact with the threaded region of the spindle when the piston-shaped element is in the lowest position, it is provided that the length of the thread-free region of the spindle is less than the length of the internal thread of the piston-shaped element. If the spindle is then rotated in a different, reverse direction, the piston-shaped element can easily be pushed back towards the end of delivery, since it does not come completely out of contact with the external thread of the spindle.
Dabei hat sich als besonders bevorzugt herausgestellt, dass die Höhe des gewindefreien Bereiches der Spindel derart dimensioniert ist, dass in unterster Position des kolbenförmigen Elementes das Innengewinde des kolbenförmigen Elementes in Kontakt mit dem untersten Gewindegang der Spindel verbleibt. Bei dieser Gestaltung ist das freie Durchrutschen der Spindel gegenüber dem kolbenförmigen Element gewährleistet, andererseits ist ebenfalls gewährleistet, dass die Gewinde von Kolben und Spindel nicht vollständig außer Kontakt geraten.It has been found to be particularly preferred that the height of the thread-free area of the spindle is dimensioned such that in the lowest position of the piston-shaped element the internal thread of the piston-shaped element remains in contact with the lowest thread of the spindle. With this design, the free slipping of the spindle against the piston-shaped element is guaranteed, on the other hand it is also ensured that the threads of the piston and spindle do not come completely out of contact.
Die Erfindung ist nachstehend anhand der Zeichnung bei- spielhaft näher erläutert. Diese zeigt in:The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing. This shows in:
Fig. 1 einen Schnitt durch eine erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung undFig. 1 shows a section through an inventive device and
Fig. 2 in vereinfachter Darstellung den unteren Bereich der Spindel mit kolbenförmigem Element. Eine erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung zur Abgabe eines streichfähigen Materials ist in der Zeichnung allgemein mit 1 bezeichnet und beim Ausführungsbeispiel als Klebestift ausgebildet, d.h. bei dem Material handelt es sich um eine Klebstoffmasse. Die Vorrichtung kann selbstverständlich auch als Lippenpflegestift ausgebildet sein, auch andere Anwendungen sind ebenfalls möglich.Fig. 2 shows a simplified representation of the lower region of the spindle with a piston-shaped element. A device according to the invention for dispensing a spreadable material is generally designated 1 in the drawing and, in the exemplary embodiment, is designed as an adhesive stick, ie the material is an adhesive compound. The device can of course also be designed as a lip care stick, other applications are also possible.
Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung 1 weist zunächst ein hülsenförmiges Aufnahmeelement 2 auf, dessen oberes im Gebrauchszustand offenes Abgabeende mit 3 bezeichnet ist, im Bereich des Abgabeendes 3 ist außenseitig am hülsenförmigen Aufnahmeelement 2 eine Verjüngung 4 mit einer umlaufenden Rastwulst 5 vorgesehen, die dazu dient, eine abnehmbare Ver schlusskappe 6 rastend und dicht aufzusetzen.The device 1 according to the invention initially has a sleeve-shaped receiving element 2, the upper discharge end of which, when in use, is designated 3, in the region of the discharge end 3 a taper 4 with a circumferential locking bead 5 is provided on the outside on the sleeve-shaped receiving element, which serves for a removable Put cap 6 into place, snugly and tightly.
Das hülsenförmige Aufnahmeelement 2 weist an dem dem offenen Abgabeende 3 gegenüberliegenden Ende einen Hülsenboden 7 mit einer zentralen Durchtrittsöffnung 8 auf. Dabei weist der Hülsenboden 7 einen horizontalen Bodenbereich 7a und einen konisch verlaufenden, die Durchtrittsöffnung 8 begrenzenden Öffnungsbereich 7b auf, welcher in einen rohrförmigen, die Durchtrittsöffnung 8 umgebenden Bereich 9 übergeht.The sleeve-shaped receiving element 2 has a sleeve bottom 7 with a central passage opening 8 at the end opposite the open delivery end 3. The sleeve base 7 has a horizontal base area 7a and a conical opening area 7b delimiting the passage opening 8, which merges into a tubular area 9 surrounding the passage opening 8.
In der Durchtrittsöffnung 8 bzw. im rohrförmigen Bereich 9 des Hülsenbodens 7 ist ein sockeiförmiger Drehgriff 10 am Aufnahmeelement 2 zu lagern. Dazu weist der sockeiförmige Drehgriff 10 oberseitig einen Rohransatz 11 auf, welcher mit einer umlaufenden Rastnut 12 versehen ist, in welche eine umlaufende Rastwulst 13 des Hülsenbodens 7 eingreift, der die Durchtrittsöffnung 8 begrenzt. Ferner können zur weiteren Führung bzw. Lagerung des sockeiförmigen Drehgriffes 10 im rohrförmigen Bereich 9 Führungswülste 14 vorgesehen sein.A sock-shaped rotary handle 10 is to be mounted on the receiving element 2 in the passage opening 8 or in the tubular region 9 of the sleeve base 7. For this purpose, the sock-shaped rotary handle 10 has a tubular extension 11 on the upper side, which is provided with a circumferential locking groove 12 into which a circumferential locking bead 13 of the sleeve base 7 engages, which delimits the passage opening 8. Furthermore, guide beads 14 can be provided in the tubular region 9 for further guidance or storage of the sock-shaped rotary handle 10.
In der in Figur 1 dargestellten Lage ist der sockeiförmige Drehgriff 10 in axialer Richtung zwischen der Rastwulst 12 und dem freien Ende 9a des rohrförmigen Bereiches gehalten aber verdrehbar gelagert. Der Rohransatz 11 des sockeiförmigen Drehgriffes 10 geht in einen konisch verjüngten Bereich 14a über und mündet vorzugsweise einstückig in eine Schraubspindel 15, deren Länge in etwa der Höhe des Inneren des Aufnahmeelementes 2 entspricht. Die Schraubspindel 15 ist dabei mit einem Außengewinde 16 versehen, wobei jedoch erfindungswesentlich vorgesehen ist, dass zwischen dem mit einem Außengewinde 16 ausgerüsteten Bereich der Spindel 15 und dem verjüngten Bereich 14 des sockeiförmigen Drehgriffes 10 ein gewindefreier Bereich 17 der Spindel 15 besteht, dessen Außendurchmesser dem Innendurchmesser des Außengewindes 16 in etwa entspricht.In the position shown in FIG. 1, the sock-shaped rotary handle 10 is held in the axial direction between the latching bead 12 and the free end 9a of the tubular area, but is rotatably mounted. The tube extension 11 of the sock-shaped rotary handle 10 merges into a conically tapered region 14a and preferably opens in one piece into a screw spindle 15, the length of which corresponds approximately to the height of the interior of the receiving element 2. The screw spindle 15 is provided with an external thread 16, but it is essential to the invention that between the region of the spindle 15 equipped with an external thread 16 and the tapered region 14 of the sock-shaped rotary handle 10 there is a thread-free region 17 of the spindle 15, the outside diameter of which Internal diameter of the external thread 16 corresponds approximately.
Wenn der sockeiförmige Drehgriff 10 mit Spindel 15 im Aufnahmeelement 2 durch Einprellen montiert ist, wird ein kolbenförmiges Element 18, das mit einem Innengewinde 19 ausgerüstet ist, vom freien Abgabeende 3 her eingeführt und auf die Schraubspindel 15 aufgeschraubt. Dabei weist das kolbenförmige Element 18 außenseitig einen Vorsprung auf, der in eine sich über der Höhe des Aufnahmeelementes 2 erstreckenden Nut 20 eingreift, wodurch ein Verdrehschutz des kolbenförmigen Elementes 18 gegenüber dem Aufnahmeelement 2 erreicht wird. Durch Verdrehen der Schraubspindel 15 wird dadurch das kolbenförmige Element 18 in Längsrichtung gegenüber dem Aufnahmeelement 2 in der einen oder der anderen Richtung verschoben.When the sock-shaped rotary handle 10 with spindle 15 is mounted in the receiving element 2 by being pushed in, a piston-shaped element 18, which is equipped with an internal thread 19, is inserted from the free delivery end 3 and screwed onto the screw spindle 15. The piston-shaped element 18 has on the outside a projection which engages in a groove 20 which extends above the height of the receiving element 2, as a result of which the piston-shaped element 18 is prevented from rotating relative to the receiving element 2. By turning the screw spindle 15, the piston-shaped element 18 is thereby displaced in the longitudinal direction with respect to the receiving element 2 in one or the other direction.
Das kolbenförmige Element 18 weist innenseitig einen Aufnah mebereich 21 auf, welcher die nicht dargestellte Masse, beispielsweise Klebstoff, trägt.The piston-shaped element 18 has on the inside a recording area 21, which carries the mass, not shown, for example adhesive.
Wie aus den Figuren 1 und 2 erkennbar, ist der gewindefreie Bereich 17 der Spindel 15 von seiner Höhenerstreckung her so dimensioniert, dass die Spindel 15 in unterster Position des hülsenförmigen Elementes 18 bei Weiterdrehung gegenüber dem hülsenförmigen Element 18 durchrutschen kann. Dabei ist die Höhe des gewindefreien Bereiches 17 der Spindel 15 geringer als die Höhe des Innengewindes 19 des kolbenförmigen Elementes 18, vorzugsweise ist die Höhe des gewindefreien Bereiches 17 der Spindel 15 derart dimensioniert, dass in unterster Position des kolbenförmigen Elementes 18 das Innengewinde 19 des kolbenförmigen Elementes 18 in Kontakt mit dem untersten Gewindegang der Spindel 15 verbleibt.As can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2, the unthreaded area 17 of the spindle 15 is dimensioned in terms of its height so that the spindle 15 can slip through the sleeve-shaped element 18 in the lowest position of the sleeve-shaped element 18 as it continues to rotate. The height of the unthreaded area 17 of the spindle 15 is less than the height of the internal thread 19 of the piston-shaped element 18, preferably the height of the unthreaded area 17 of the spindle 15 is dimensioned such that in the lowest position of the piston-shaped element 18 the internal thread 19 of the piston-shaped element 18 remains in contact with the lowest thread of the spindle 15.
Wird nun durch Drehen des sockeiförmigen Drehgriffes 10 das kolbenförmige Element 18 in die unterste Position verdreht und bei Fehlbedienung die Spindel 15 in gleicher Richtung weitergedreht, kann die Spindel 15 gegenüber dem kolbenförmigen Element 18 frei durchrutschen, so dass sie nicht auf Torsion beansprucht wird und insbesondere nicht vom sockeiförmigen Drehgriff 10 abreißen kann.If, by turning the sock-shaped rotary handle 10, the piston-shaped element 18 is turned into the lowest position and, in the event of incorrect operation, the spindle 15 is rotated further in the same direction, the spindle 15 can slide freely relative to the piston-shaped element 18, so that it is not subjected to torsion and in particular cannot tear off the sock-shaped rotary handle 10.
Natürlich ist die Erfindung nicht auf das dargestellte Ausführungsbeispiel beschränkt. Weitere Ausgestaltungen sind möglich, ohne den Grundgedanken zu verlassen. So kann selbstverständlich der Hülsenboden 7 anders ausgestaltet sein, auch kann die Spindel 15 auf andere Weise gelagert sein, wesentlich ist allein, dass die Spindel 15 im unteren Bereich in der vorerwähnten Weise einen im wesentlichen gewindefreien Bereich 17 aufweist. Of course, the invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment. Further configurations are possible without leaving the basic idea. Thus, of course, the sleeve base 7 can be designed differently, and the spindle 15 can also be mounted in a different way, it is only important that the spindle 15 has a substantially thread-free region 17 in the lower region in the aforementioned manner.
