Definitions

  • the invention relates to a metering dispenser according to the preamble of claim 1 for dispensing approximately spherical or spherical content bodies from a container, is attached to the opening of the dispenser.
  • the ingredients are preferably so-called globules containing a medicinal agent, without the invention being limited thereto.
  • Such contents are usually not exactly spherical and their size can vary within a considerable tolerance range.
  • globules may be present in a container filling in the size of about 1.8 to 2.5 mm or in another order of 3.4 to 4.0 mm.
  • the outer surface of such globules is generally not completely smooth, so that adjacent globules can "hook".
  • EP 0 393 573 A discloses a granulating dosing dispenser having a passageway whose internal cross-section is larger than the contents and an exit opening having an elongated shape in the relaxed state of the dosing dispenser, the width of which is smaller and whose length is greater than the contents of the dispenser a soft, elastic plastic and is deformable by applied pressure so that the outlet opening is larger than the contents of body.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a metering dispenser of the type considered, which is simple in construction and inexpensive to produce.
  • the metering dispenser according to the invention has a passage whose free inner cross-section is greater than the outer dimensions of the contents to be dispensed, and an outlet opening, which has an elongated shape in the relaxed state of Dosierspenders whose width is smaller and whose length is greater than the outer dimensions of the contents.
  • the dosing dispenser consists of an elastomer-like plastic and is deformable by laterally applied pressure so that the outlet opening is larger than the outer dimensions of the contents of body. In the relaxed state of the dosing dispenser remains between the inner wall of the actuating portion and the outer wall of the tubular portion, a free annular space.
  • the preferably oval outlet opening which initially retains the contents in the overhead position of the container, can be widened in the width direction so that the contents can fall out of the dispenser.
  • the tubular portion is preferably cut in the axial direction, so that it consists of at least two mutually movable webs. That is, at least two narrow strips are cut away from the wall of the tubular portion so as to provide through slots to the end of the tubular portion. These slots should face each other.
  • At least one retaining projection or retaining cam preferably two opposing retaining cams are formed, which have a distance from each other in the relaxed state of Dosierspenders, which is larger than the outer dimensions of the contents body.
  • the contents can pass through the one or two opposing retaining cams.
  • the dosing dispenser is compressed to widen the discharge opening, the clearance between the retention cams is reduced so that the passage of the contents is blocked.
  • this receiving space can also be sized if necessary so that it can accommodate a specific, fixed larger number of contents bodies, which are then also delivered reliably on actuation of the dosing dispenser. Of greatest practical importance, however, is the single tax.
  • the dosing dispenser an annular plug portion which is tightly inserted into the container opening, an annular lateral projection which rests on the upper edge of the container opening, and then has an actuating portion which projects beyond the container opening.
  • the actuating portion preferably has a cylindrical, approximately rectangular in plan shape.
  • two axially extending grooves are formed, which are preferably in a plane which the elongated , preferably oval outlet opening bisected in the width direction.
  • These squeezing grooves preferably have a flat U-shape.
  • V-shaped grooves are formed, which lie on a line which thus halves the outlet opening also in the width direction.
  • the passageway is formed by a tubular portion which in Distance from the outlet opening is attached to the inside of the actuating portion, wherein the preferably two retaining cams are formed at the outlet opening facing the end of the tubular portion.
  • the receiving space for a content body which thus has a slightly larger width than the passageway.
  • the metering dispenser is manufactured in one piece by injection molding.
  • the metering dispenser according to the invention in contrast to metering dispensers conventional type, which consist of several parts, particularly inexpensive to produce.
  • olefins come into consideration.
  • the dosing dispenser is no longer used, it is expediently covered by a cap screwed onto the container neck.
  • This cap has preferably on the inside of its upper end wall a central pin which protrudes in the attached state of the cap into the outlet opening of the dosing dispenser. As a result, a possibly in the outlet opening clamped content body is pushed back into the dosing dispenser.
  • the dosing dispenser 1 contains an in FIG. 1
  • the annular plug portion 2 has an outwardly curved peripheral wall, a so-called sealing olive, which ensures that the plug portion inserted into a container neck rests tightly against the inner wall of the container neck.
  • the annular projection 3 rests on the upper edge of the container opening.
  • an elongated outlet opening 6 is formed for contents of the container, not shown.
  • the outlet opening 6 has a width (in the direction of the arrow B in FIG. 2 ), which is smaller than the contents to be dispensed with the dispenser, and a length (direction of the arrow L in FIG. 2 ), which is larger than the content body.
  • the operating portion 4 has in plan view approximately a rectangular shape, the long sides 7 are convexly convex, while the short sides 8 have a concave curvature.
  • the convex longitudinal sides 7 have in the middle in each case a U-shaped squeezing groove 9, which extends up to the top and merges into a V-shaped squeezing groove 10 in the end wall 5, which is continuous with the outlet opening 6.
  • the outlet opening 6 takes such a shape that a body of contents can escape from the outlet opening 6.
  • a tubular section 11 extending in the axial direction of the metering dispenser is centrally attached to the inner wall of the actuation section 4.
  • two diametrically opposed projections or retaining cams 12 are integrally formed on the inner wall, whose clear distance is greater than the contents of the body so that they can pass the retaining cams 12 when the operating portion 4 is not compressed.
  • the two retaining cams 12 are arranged in the longitudinal direction of the outlet opening 6.
  • a pressure force is exerted on the sides 8 of the actuating portion 4, which deforms the outlet opening 6 so that the content body located in the receiving space 13 can escape, has the same time with the release of the outlet opening of the clearance between the retaining cam 12 so reduces that no subsequent body of content can pass through the two retaining cams 12. Therefore, the dosing dispenser 1 always gives only a single content body at each actuation.
  • the tubular portion 11 constituting the passageway for the contents body is cut in at least 2 peripheral portions which are movable relative to each other as the longitudinal slots pass to the lower end of the tubular portion 11.
  • the one-piece metering dispenser consists - as already mentioned above - of a rubber-like or elastomeric material and is produced by injection molding.
