Definitions

  • the invention relates to a dispenser, in particular as a dosing dispenser for the administration of a semi-solid or liquid substance, such as liquid soap or a cleaning or care foam.
  • the generic dispenser has a housing which is mountable with a housing rear wall to a wall and is covered by a cover pivotally connected to the housing rear wall. Behind the cover is the reservoir containing the substance and having a metering valve for the controlled release of the substance.
  • the housing has a container receptacle for receiving the storage container into which the storage container can be inserted in an insertion direction.
  • a valve element By a lifting movement of a valve element, a predetermined amount of the substance can then be dispensed, wherein the valve element is opened or closed via an actuating device arranged on the housing, which is capable of transmitting an actuating force to the valve element via at least one pressure element.
  • the dispenser has, in particular, coupling means arranged on the housing, which produce a positive connection between valve element and the actuating device directly or indirectly at least in the direction of the movement of the valve element.
  • These coupling means are formed by at least one retaining edge and at least one, the holder edge at least partially with a driving receptacle engaging driver and formed such that upon insertion of the reservoir in the direction of insertion of the retaining edge engages with the driving receptacle.
  • Dispensers of this type are known from DE 27 27 679 B2.
  • the housing In these dispensers, however, the housing must be folded forward and the reservoir are then inserted into the unfolded cover, so that they can then be folded back together with the reservoir.
  • These donors in addition to the fact that the comparatively large load burdens the mechanics of the cover, the further disadvantage that the reservoir can only be used when the cover is held with one hand and with the other hand, the reservoir is used. Furthermore, the cover must always be firmly closed to the housing to prevent it from opening automatically.
  • EP 0 650 687 B1 or EP 0703 831 B1 discloses further dispensers in which, for example, a reservoir is inserted into the housing for refilling the substance.
  • the housing has a clamping connection; which receives the reservoir with a downwardly facing removal opening.
  • a clamping connection one of a arranged on a wall base plate of the housing at right angles protruding holding carrier is used, which is arranged between the metering valve and the reservoir.
  • the actuator is arranged as a pivotable "push" button below the metering valve and connected to the housing.
  • the coupling means formed by resilient locking tongues against a laterally outwardly projecting edge of the metering valve.
  • the actuating device is provided, for example, with a "push” button extending at right angles to the rear, so that pushing in the "push” button causes an upward movement of the region projecting at right angles to the rear.
  • a piston of the metering valve is moved upward, thereby simultaneously substance is delivered.
  • the piston is lowered again and an outlet reservoir arranged in the piston refills with substance.
  • the reset of the "push” button in the starting position is effected for example via a return spring.
  • the known dispensers are able to reliably indicate substance, they nevertheless have the disadvantage that upon first actuation, the resilient tongues of the coupling means have to grip the outwardly projecting flange of the metering valve. During this first initial movement, the metering valve is inoperative and mechanical detent noises occur instead on.
  • the locking elements are slightly bent, so that either the locking position is canceled or the locking tongues are arranged perpendicular to the upper side of the flange, so that the displacement of the locking tongues as a result of the upward movement of the metering valve not can realize more.
  • the dispenser would be without function due to the clamping of the locking tongues.
  • a dispenser of the type mentioned is known. Also, this dispenser has a receptacle for the reservoir, which is formed by a arranged in the region of the transition between the metering valve and the reservoir groove / tongue connection.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a dispenser in which the reservoir is easy to use with a one-hand operation and a safe Operation without the impression of an initial malfunction allows.
  • the coupling means have a threading aid, which is formed by a narrowing in the direction of insertion feed, which leads the retaining edge during the insertion movement of the reservoir into the driving receptacle.
  • the coupling means are activated by the insertion of the reservoir into the housing and the associated relative movement between the housing and the reservoir in the insertion direction, that is, the positive connection between the driver and retaining edge is already realized by the insertion.
  • the housing has a corresponding holder, in particular a support plate extending forwards from the rear wall into which the storage container is inserted.
  • the threading aid ensures that during the insertion movement of the retaining edge of the metering valve is captured and threaded into the driver.
  • the threading aid is designed as a component that forms a narrowing in the direction of the driver gap with the support plate or even such a gap, wherein the retaining edge is guided during the insertion movement in the gap.
  • the inventive design of the dispenser not only the reservoir can be easily used with one hand, it can also be avoided that the impression of malfunction occurs because the valve is already in the first en pressing in the operating position and not just a locking movement upstream must become.
  • the coupling means are immediately after insertion of the reservoir in engagement.
  • a single actuation of the actuating device activates the metering valve, that is to say that substance from the newly inserted full storage container is sucked into the valve body. If such an initial filling is not necessary if, for example, the chamber of the metering valve is already filled at the factory, the dispenser is then ready for use immediately after filling. Compared to the known dispensers, at least one empty movement is therefore required to activate the valve.
  • the retaining edge is formed by a laterally projecting from the metering outward edge.
  • This can be, for example, an all-round flange.
  • This flange is at one area arranged the valve, which must be moved up and down when the function of the valve.
  • this may be, for example, a portion of the metering valve associated with the piston.
  • the retaining edge can also be arranged circumferentially around the wall of this pressure reservoir.
  • the driving receptacle is arranged in the housing so that it is movable together with the actuating device.
  • a known "push” button is also used here, which has a vertically arranged handle and a right angle protruding therefrom in the direction of the rear wall of the functional area.
  • the driving receptacle can then be arranged at the top of the functional receptacle.
  • Essential for the function of the takeaway recording is the fact that this is able to transmit forces in both upward and downward movements of the actuator forces on the retaining edge.
  • the driving receptacle will be formed as a slot into which the retaining edge engages when inserting the reservoir in the insertion direction.
  • the functional components are preferably designed to be cylindrical, because they are produced approximately in the blow-molding process.
  • the functional elements of the metering device are preferably formed as cylindrical components, as it is also here in the plastic parts, which are very cheap to produce as a cylinder without manufacturing problems.
  • the retaining edge will be formed as a circumferential annular flange.
  • the driving receptacle surrounds the entire retaining edge with the exception of the front region. This leads to an annular take-up recording, which can also take over the function of the clamping action and the holding action for the reservoir at the same time. In this way, by simply inserting the reservoir into the driving receptacle of the reservoir can be fixed and, if a pressure element for transmitting a holding force in the vertical direction is present, ensure the function of the metering device.
  • a moving with the actuator receiving fork is used, in which facilitates the threading of the retaining edge.
  • This may mean in one embodiment that the upper part of the driving receptacle is formed by the receiving fork. The lower part is then formed by the base plate of the actuating button arranged at right angles to the rear wall of the housing.
  • the base plate preferably has a passage through which the metering valve can be inserted, wherein subsequently the entire reservoir can be pushed back towards the rear wall of the housing.
  • the passage for the metering valve is preferably slot-shaped or slot-like.
  • the receiving fork has to facilitate the threading preferably forward expanding bracket, between which the retaining edge can be adjusted.
  • the stirrups can be angled upwards, so that a precise guiding of the retaining edge into the later end position is made possible.
  • either the yoke of the receiving fork are resilient or it is provided an elastic clamping fork, which is provided in addition to the receiving fork on the base plate of the actuator.
  • This elastic pick-up fork or spring-loaded fork can provide the required mechanical stability while providing a latching function that holds the hopper securely in the use position.
  • the actuating key is usually pivotable about a horizontal axis and thus moves the base plate not only upwards, but on a circular path upwards, usually results in a small force component, which directed away from the rear wall of the housing acts on the reservoir from below.
  • This extra force component can be easily absorbed by a metallic or sturdy plastic fork. For this reason, it may be useful to provide a metallic clamping fork in addition to the design of the actuating button and the receiving fork.
  • the receiving fork can be integrally connected to the base plate of the "push" button.
  • both parts are preferably produced as injection-molded parts.
  • a metallic receiving fork can also be connected via plug or rivet connections with the base plate.
  • the retaining edge can also project inward and the metering valve have a circumferential groove.
  • the retaining edge may be formed by the receiving fork, which is inserted into the groove with only a slight play.
  • the actuating device is connected to the metering valve exclusively via the receiving fork or the receiving fork in conjunction with the clamping fork, for example.
  • the metering valve itself can be particularly easily formed as a balloon valve having a Ansaugreservoir, is compressed by the movement of the actuator in a first direction in the direction of the rear wall of the housing. As a result, substance is expelled from the balloon valve, by the following Backward movement in the second direction away from the rear wall of the housing then substance is sucked out of the reservoir again. At the same time small residues of substance at the dispensing nozzle are sucked back into the balloon. Membranes on both sides of the balloon cause a leak, so that dripping of the metering valve is avoided.
  • the Ansaugreservoir and the reservoir can be easily made from a single plastic component that can be produced, for example, in the blow molding process.
  • a tube below the reservoir is reduced by appropriate shaping so far in diameter that results in a short or longer inflow channel between the two volumes, the suction reservoir on the one hand and the reservoir on the other
  • the suction reservoir itself may take various forms, depending on the use of the material, bellows-like compression regions may be provided, or the suction reservoir is formed as a spherical volume which is easily compressible via the actuator with sideways migration of the conversion region.
  • FIG. 1 shows a dispenser which has a housing 1 into which a storage container 2 can be inserted in an inlet direction E.
  • the storage container may contain a semi-solid or a liquid substance, in particular detergents or home care agents.
  • the substance can be removed via a metering valve 3, which can be manually or electrically actuated.
  • an actuator 4 is provided, which is drawn here as a manual device.
  • a manual operating force applied by the operator is hereby transmitted to the valve element via a pressure element.
  • the metering valve 2 can be designed so that it can deliver a defined amount of a liquid agent, it can also be designed as a foam valve, so that the substance is foamed by the operation.
  • the actuator 4 To actuate the metering valve 3, the actuator 4 must be able to move an element of the metering valve 3 back and forth relative to the reservoir 2. This assumes that a part of the metering valve 3 is guided in the vertical direction in the actuator 4.
  • the embodiment shown has coupling means which are activated upon insertion of the storage container into the housing 1.
  • a retaining edge 5 is provided which cooperates with a driving receptacle of a driver 6. This requires that when inserting the reservoir 2 in the housing 1, the retaining edge 5 slides under the driver 6 and so encloses the side of the metering valve 3 projecting retaining edge 5 together with the top of the actuator 4.
  • the actuating device 4 is set in motion by applying a manual pressure force in the first actuating direction R 1 , in the embodiment shown, a pressure force is exerted on the valve region lying below the metering valve 3. Since the retaining edge 5 is held positively in the vertical direction, this causes the lower portion of the metering valve, which is movable in the metering valve 3, to be pushed upwards and then pulled down again in the second actuating direction R 2 when the push button is subsequently spring-returned. By this lifting movement, the substance is first sucked from the reservoir 2 into a gap of the metering valve 3.
  • Figure 2 shows the area of the receiving fork 6 and the clamping fork 8 from above.
  • the driver 7 (not visible here) is formed by the upper side of the pushbutton used as the actuator 4 and the underside of the receiving hub 6, wherein the retaining edge 5 is here a laterally projecting from the metering valve 3 not shown flange.
  • the diaphragm valves alternatively, of course, other configurations can be used, effect when pressing the push button, a closure in the upper transition region to the reservoir 2 and an opening in the lower area to push out the contents of the balloon from this down can. In return springs of the push button then the lower valve is closed, so that the negative pressure for suction of the substance can build up.
  • metering valve 3 The described embodiments of the metering valve 3 are to be regarded exclusively as exemplary embodiments. Other valves may be used in connection with the invention.
