  • DE-A-0 342 651 B1 describes a manually operated metering pump with the features contained in the preamble of claim 1.
  • the ventability of a container equipped with such a pump provided by standard pumps of this known type encounters difficulties in those cases in which the medium to be dispensed contained in the container is highly viscous, e.g. Creams, and to protect against contact with the ambient air, to prevent the pump from malfunctioning and contamination of the medium by harmful germs or dirt particles contained in the air.
  • the invention has for its object to improve a dispensing package of the aforementioned type so that using standard pumps, which normally allow the ventilation of a container equipped with such a pump, the flowable medium contained in the container does not come into contact with air and become contaminated can, so that if necessary. the amount of preservatives for the flowable medium can also be reduced.
  • the invention solves this problem by the features contained in claim 1.
  • the invention is based on a dispensing package which consists of a metering pump and a container which is tightly connected to it and can be aerated by the pump.
  • the dispensing package includes a closure cap which can be attached to a neck of the container and a cylindrical wall which encloses an axial opening which is arranged above an inner flange.
  • a holder is provided for fastening the pump within an opening of the closure cap, the holder being able to be pressed by the closure cap with an outer flange against an annular seal on an outer end face of the container neck.
  • a pump housing has a pump cylinder which surrounds a pump chamber, the upper end of which has an opening and is provided with a dip tube nipple at the lower end.

  • an inlet valve and an outlet valve for the fluid medium of the pump are assigned.
  • a helical compression spring acts on the pump piston in the direction of its rest position.

  • the pump chamber 80 is completely closed.
  • the pressure within the pump chamber 80 is increased. However, this increase depends on the selection of the point at which the inner flange 210 is supported on the valve body 150. As long as the pressure in the pump chamber 80 increases, an axial, outward force is added to the friction between the sealing sleeve 190 and the supply nozzle 120.

  • the valve body 150 therefore moves away from the sealing sleeve 190, which remains due to the friction on the tubular feed connector 120.

  • the connecting channel 54 When the metering pump 20 is actuated, the connecting channel 54 therefore closes approximately at the same time as the sealing sleeve 190 is pushed onto the feed connector 120. However, when the pump piston 45 moves upward, the connection channel 54 opens before the sealing sleeve 190 separates from the supply nozzle 120. This creates a significantly lower vacuum in the pump chamber 80. As a result, air can penetrate, if at all, only to a small extent, even if the seal of the pump piston 45 with respect to the pump cylinder 43 is not completely guaranteed.
  • the lower sealing lip 103 is required to seal the pump piston 45, which is directed towards the container 26, so that the pressure prevailing in the pump chamber 80 increases the sealing effect during the dispensing of the flowable medium 29.
  • the two cooperating parts 150 and 190 of the inlet valve 66 therefore cooperate via the compression spring 240 and make it possible for the liquid medium 29 to be sucked into the pump chamber 80 during the actuation of the metering pump 20. If the pump chamber 80 is filled with air on the first pump stroke, the pressure in the pump chamber 80 does not increase to such an extent as the movable parts 45, 150, 190 in the pump housing 48 move downward that the outlet valve 162 could open.
  • the connecting channel 54 between the pump chamber 80 and the container 26 opens immediately at the start of the upward movement of the pump piston 45, so that air can spread out in the pump chamber 80, but is prevented from penetrating into the bag 28 by the seal 41. As the pump piston 45 moves upward further, the volume of the pump chamber 80 increases and therefore creates a vacuum, which leads to an accelerated filling of the pump chamber 80 with the liquid medium 29.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 contains the same pump 20 as the first embodiment described with reference to FIGS. 1, 2 and 5 to 7.
  • a different storage of the flowable medium 29 is provided in, for example, a bottle-shaped container 200 with a rigid wall, the bottom of which is formed by a drag piston 242, which rests axially displaceably and sealingly against the rigid, cylindrical inner wall 244 of the container 200.
  • the drag piston 242 is raised to an extent which approximately corresponds to the volume of the quantity of the liquid medium 29 discharged by the pump 20 equivalent.
  • the liquid medium 29 is sucked into the pump chamber 80 due to the suction pressure exerted by the pump 20. Since the rest of the construction of the pump 20 corresponds to that in connection with FIGS. 1, 2 and 5 has been described, reference is made to the above description of the pump 20.
  • the function of the dispensing package according to the invention can be described as follows: During the first pump stroke, the air present under the pump piston 45 is displaced into the bag 28 / container 200 and rises in the flowable medium 29 inside the bag after it emerges from the dip tube nipple 30 28 / container 200 above the level of the medium 29 upwards. At the same time, the pump piston 45 sucks air from the free atmosphere through the annular gap 23.
  • the passage channel between the sealing body 170 and the sealing sleeve 190 closes after a short stroke because of the pressure rising in the pump cylinder 43 and the frictional resistance to which the sealing sleeve 120 is subjected when it is pushed onto the tubular filler neck 120. If the pressure in the pump cylinder 43 continues to rise, the valve body 170 with the sealing sleeve 120 is lifted from its valve seat 158 in the piston shaft 47 against the pressure of the compression spring 240 with its sealing cone 162, so that the flowable medium 29 is dispensed through the dispensing head 90.
  • the Dispensing package described according to the invention due to the sealing of the pump housing 48 with respect to the container neck 21 through the seal 41, prevents air from entering and thus a deterioration in the quality of a liquid medium 29 contained in the bag 270 of the container 26 or in the container 200 itself, without it Further design changes to the pump 20 are required, which can be used in the event of a lack of sealing of the pump housing 48 with respect to the container neck 21 and the closure cap 22 for flowable media which are insensitive to contact with air. Furthermore, it is understood that the invention is not limited to the use of the standard pump described above, but can be used using any pumps which allow ventilation of the associated container and its flowable content, but can be converted for the purpose according to the invention.

L'invention concerne un emballage de distribution comprenant une pompe doseuse (40) et un contenant (26) qui est relié de façon hermétique à celle-ci et qui peut être ventilé par celle-ci. Cet emballage comprend par ailleurs un bouchon de fermeture (22) comportant une ouverture axiale, un élément de retenue (38) servant à fixer la pompe à l'intérieur de l'ouverture du bouchon de fermeture (22), un corps de pompe (48) comprenant un cylindre de pompe, un piston de pompe qui peut se déplacer de façon étanche dans la chambre de la pompe et qui est pourvu d'une tige de piston, un canal de sortie axial qui s'étend à travers la tige du piston et le piston de pompe et qui relie la chambre de la pompe à une ouverture de distribution ménagée dans la tête d'actionnement, une soupape d'admission et une soupape de refoulement pour la substance fluide, ainsi qu'un ressort de pression hélicoïdal qui sollicite le piston de pompe en direction de sa position de repos. L'invention se caractérise en ce que le volume du contenant renfermant la substance fluide peut être adapté en fonction de la diminution du volume de substance fluide distribuée à partir du contenant et en ce que le bord intérieur (52) du joint (41) placé entre la surface frontale (27) du col (21) du contenant (26) et la collerette extérieure (34) de l'élément de retenue (38) repose sur le côté extérieur du corps de pompe (48).
