Definitions

  • the invention relates to an arrangement for pouring flowable media according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • Conventional pouring arrangements on containers for storing and dispensing partial quantities of free-flowing media have a container body with a closable spout and an also closable filling opening. When closed, the container is sealingly closed, so that the medium in the container, regardless of the position of the container can not leak.
  • This type of containers is used, for example, as a refill for small tanks or as a container of concentrates or additives in which only a subset is removed from the container with each use.
  • a spout can be screwed or attached to the spout and if necessary, the refill opening is screwed on, so that air can flow into the container to allow a continuous pouring.
  • the spout is again removed from the pouring and supplied and sealed the container.
  • the handling of containers with such a pouring arrangement is complicated and involves the risk that the liquid may leak freely when tilting the unclosed container.
  • a movable bellows is used as a pouring tube for better adaptation to the respective position of the tank or container to be filled. Residual quantities of the filled medium remain in the grooves of the bellows.
  • the spout when detached from the container, can easily be lost.
  • a container in the form of a gasoline canister with a pouring arrangement which includes a spout with a spout valve, an actuating device for the spout valve, a spout arranged on the container, a venting valve and a closable filling opening.
  • the flexible spout screwed onto the spout is covered at its outer end, just like the vent valve when not in use, each with an end cap, which ensures that the container is sealed when not in use.
  • the control of the spout valve via a link with a push button, which also operates the vent valve, so that when the spout valve is open and the vent valve is open.
  • both the spout valve and the vent valve are closed.
  • the end caps are first unscrewed from the flexible spout and the vent valve. After that can be removed from the container metered by pressing the push button gasoline.
  • the disadvantage of this arrangement is that for securing and tightly closing the container end caps are unscrew.
  • small amounts of gasoline through the spout valve seep into the spout or through the vent valve in the caps, which can lead to contamination when unscrewing the cover from the spout or the vent valve:
  • the present invention has for its object to eliminate these disadvantages of known arrangements for pouring flowable media from a container. This object is solved by the features of patent claim 1.
  • the invention is based on the idea that with the inventive arrangement for pouring free-flowing media without mounting loose and additional parts, a container from the sealed and securely sealed can be placed in the ready state and back again.
  • the invention includes a spout valve, which can be selectively opened and closed by the user via an easy-to-use actuating mechanism and thus allows a controlled pouring.
  • a pivotally arranged on the container spout allows depending on the position of the pivoted spout by means of a locking device, the spout valve to lock or unlock. Locking the spout valve in the closed position prevents inadvertent opening of the spout valve.
  • the inventive arrangement includes a vent valve, which is also locked in the closed state.
  • a compression spring ensures that in the idle state, ie when the spout control is not actuated, the spout valve sealing the spout and the vent valve is also closed.
  • the inventive arrangement is used for pouring a variety of flowable media from a container.
  • the arrangement may be integrated in the container itself or in the lid of a container.
  • the flowable media may include, for example, detergents, lubricants, gasoline, windscreen washer fluid, antifreeze, building construction admixtures, and many others.
  • Flowable media are also fine-grained powders, granules and the like, which are kept airtight in containers and removed in small quantities from the container.
  • the equipped with the spout assembly container forms a storage and transport container, which is taken from time to time a subset of its contents. For the removal of a subset of the contents of the container, the spout is first pivoted away from the container in the spout position.
  • the spout valve is unlocked. Subsequently, the vent valve is unlocked and by pressing the spout control both the spout valve and the vent valve is opened and the Content can be poured out. The pouring is done in a controlled manner, without spilling any of the contents and without the user coming into contact with the contents of the container. As spout a tube with a smooth inner wall is used, so that no residues remain after the pouring in the spout. At the end of the removal, the spout control is released, whereby the compression spring closes both the spout valve and the vent valve, the spout is pivoted to the lock position and the vent valve is locked. Thus, the container is again sealed tight and secure. The interlocking of the spout valve and the aeration valve makes it impossible to inadvertently leak the flowable medium out of the container.
  • FIG. 1 shows a portable container 1 with an exemplary embodiment of the inventive pouring arrangement.
  • the essential components of this arrangement are a spout pivotally arranged on the spout 13 of the container 1 2 with a arranged inside the spout 2 spout valve and a lock of the spout valve, an actuator 9 with a push button for actuating the spout valve, a connecting member between the push button and the Spout valve and an integrated in the actuator 9, lockable vent valve.
  • a filling opening 5 which can be locked with a cover 6 is provided on the upper side of the container and a container handle 32.
  • the filling opening 5 is arranged on the container 1 in such a way that it lies lower than the upper container boundary.
  • the actuator 9 is disposed near the container handle 32, so that held with one hand, the container on the handle 32 and with the same hand the Push button 10 can be operated on the actuator 9.
  • the spout 2 is pivoted over the container 1 and is in the locked position. In this position, the spout valve is locked and the container 1 sealed.
  • FIG. 2 the components of the spout assembly are shown individually, wherein the spout 2 is cut in the region of the arranged in the interior of the spout 2 spout valve 3.
  • a flexible push rod 7 can be seen, which is guided in a channel 15 integrated in the container wall.
  • the push rod 7 may also be guided in channel and / or tubular structures, which may be formed as part of the container or separately introduced parts.
  • the push rod 7 may be, for example, a flexible, flexible metal or plastic rod whose length is adapted to the curved path of the channel in which it is guided, and extends from the actuating device 9 to the spout valve 3.
  • the connecting member 7 may also be composed of several individual elements.
  • FIG. 3 shows the container 1 with pivoted spout 2 ready for pouring, which means that in this position, the spout valve 3 unlocked but is still closed.
  • the push button 10 By pressing the push button 10, the push rod 7 is pressed along the channel 15 against the spout valve 3, which is thereby opened.
  • the spout 2 is pivotally mounted about an axis parallel to the spout 14 of the spout 13 extending axis about 180 ° from the locking position into the spout position. In the case of a container standing on the ground, this corresponds to an approximately horizontal pivoting process.
  • a swivel assembly on the spout 13 which allows a pivoting of the spout 2 extending in the vertical direction, wherein also locked in the locking position, the spout valve 3 and in the spout position of the spout 2, the spout valve 3 is unlocked.
  • spout 12 is rotatably arranged. This spout nozzle 12 has a slight bend or arcuate course. This allows the spout 2 with the spout 12 easier and easier to be inserted into the opening of a vessel or container to be filled.
  • a recess 16 can be seen at the top of the container 1, which serves to receive the spout tube 2 in the locked position.
  • the outer edge of the recess 16 is slightly increased and forms a parallel to the recess 16 extending rib 17.
  • the spout 2 When swiveling the spout 2 in the locked position, the spout 2 must be pressed with slight pressure on this rib 17 so that it finally in the recess 16 comes to rest easily. As a result, the spout 2 can not be unintentionally pivoted out of the locked position. The spout must be pushed over the rib 17 with a slight pressure for pivoting.
  • FIG. 4 shows a partial view of the spout 2 in the region of the spout 13 with closed and locked spout valve 3 in perspective shown in section.
  • a collar 14 on the spout 13 of the container 1 The collar 14 is integrated into the upper container wall of the container and has at its upper opening a circular constriction 18.
  • the inwardly directed surface 19 of this constriction 18 is conically tapered, such that the diameter of the opening tapers in the direction of the container.
  • This conical surface 19 forms the valve seat 19 for the spout valve 3.
  • a conical surface 19 and a concave surface 19 is conceivable, such as the inner surface of a spherical layer.
  • the spout 2 has a whistle-like shape. At its container-side end, the spout 2 opens into a cylindrical, top-closed and open-bottom cylindrical portion 21. This cylindrical portion 21 is placed on the collar 14 of the spout 13 and with this via a thread 20 in operative connection.
  • the valve cap of the spout valve 3 has a Gugelhupfform similar shape and has in the upper, outer edge region a radial circumferential groove 24 for receiving a sealing element 25.
  • the sealing element 25 rests against the valve seat 19 and closes off the opening of the spout 13 in a sealing manner.
  • the valve cap 3 itself forms the sealing element 25, namely, that it is made entirely or in the region of the valve seat of a dichtShem material, and thus allows the valve seat 19 a secure and sealing completion of the spout 13.
  • On the outer wall of the valve cap vertically extending bulges or ribs 38 are arranged, which center the valve cap when closing the valve 3 in the valve seat.
  • the top of the cylindrical portion 21 of the spout 2 has a plate-shaped recess 26.
  • the side wall 29 of the plate-shaped recess 26 presses against the upper edge of the spout valve 3 and thereby the valve seal 25 against the valve seat 19.
  • the interaction of the upper edge of the spout valve 3 with the plate-shaped recess 26 of the spout 2 form a locking device for the spout valve 3, which can not be lifted out of the valve seat 19 in the locked position.
  • FIG. 5 shows a partial view of the container 1 in the region of the spout 13 with closed and unlocked spout valve 3 in perspective shown in section.
  • the spout 2 is pivoted to the spout position, whereby the cylindrical portion 21 is raised to its highest position.
  • the plate-shaped recess 26,28,29 of the spout 2 is no longer on Valve pin 27 and at the top of the spout valve 3.
  • the spout valve is displaceable in the axial direction.
  • a helical compression spring 11 is arranged around the valve pin 27, which presses the spout valve 3 from the underside of the plate-shaped indentation 28 in the valve seat 19. As a result, the spout valve is unlocked but closed due to the compression spring 11.
  • the valve pin 27 has in the center on a direction of the container axially extending bore, which serves to receive the push rod 7.
  • FIG. 6 now shows a partial view of the spout 2 in the region of the spout 13 with unlocked and opened spout valve 3, shown in perspective in section.
  • the push rod 7 presses the spout valve 3 against the spring force of the compression spring 11 from the valve seat 19, so that the spout 13 is released and the flowable medium can flow out through the spout 2 with a corresponding inclination of the container.
  • FIG. 7 is the actuator 9 with the push button 10 for actuating the spout valve 3 with open vent valve 8, shown in perspective in section.
  • a cylindrical projection extending approximately parallel to the upper side of the container is integrated with the opening 34 in the container wall of the container 1.
  • the actuator 9 is placed or screwed sealingly.
  • This actuator 9 consists of a valve seat 30, a vent piston 31 and a push button 10.
  • the valve seat 30 has a constriction 35 with inwardly directed sealing surface 36.
  • the venting piston 31 has at its container-side end a diameter which corresponds approximately to the diameter of the cylindrical opening 34.
  • the diameter of the ventilation piston 31 tapers to the diameter of the constriction 35 in the socket 30.
  • the ventilation piston 31 is thereby guided in the inner wall of the opening 34 and in the constriction of the socket 30 and displaceable in the axial direction.
  • a radially extending groove is provided with a valve seal 33 for the vent valve 8.
  • This ventilation valve 8 results from the interaction of the ventilation piston 31 with the seal 33 and the constriction of the socket 30 with its sealing surface 36, which forms the valve seat for the vent valve 8.
  • a bore at the container end serves to receive the push rod. 7
  • FIG. 8 is the actuator 9 with the push button 10 for actuating the spout valve 3 with closed vent valve 8, shown in perspective in section.
  • the push rod 7 is pressed by the compression spring 11 in the spout valve 3 in the direction of the actuator 9.
  • the ventilation piston 31 is pressed with its seal 33 back against the sealing surface 36 in the constriction 35 of the socket 30, the valve seat and the container 1 sealed against the outside.
  • a locking device is provided on the actuator.
  • In the outer region of the socket extends an axially disposed groove which is intended to receive a cam 10 arranged on the push button.
  • the push button 10 is rotatable with the ventilation piston 31 about the longitudinal axis. Once the vent valve 8 is closed, the cam is outside the groove and the push button 10 can be rotated. However, an axial displacement of the push button 10 and the vent valve 8 is only possible if the push button is positioned or rotated so that the cam engages in the groove. This means that when the vent valve is closed, the push-button is turned to a locked position, which locks the vent valve.
  • the push button 10 Only when the push button 10 is rotated back into the position in which the cam engages in the groove, the push-button can be pressed and the valves actuated.
  • the push button 10 and the ventilation piston 31 are guided in a backdrop in the socket 30 of the ventilation body 31.
  • the push button 10 When the push button 10 is rotated from the open position into the blocking position, the latter displaces with the ventilation piston 31 in the axial direction in the direction away from the container, so that the seal 33 of the ventilation piston 31 is pulled against the valve seat 36 in the holder 30.
  • a ratchet is provided on the push button 10, which engages in the socket and on the one hand allows a concrete and predefined positioning of the push button 10, and on the other hand secures the push button 10 against unintentional rotation from the locked position.
  • the container is hermetically sealed by the locking of the spout valve 3 and the venting valve 8, so that neither of the filling medium through the spout valve 3 nor through the vent valve can escape from the container, nor that liquid can penetrate from the outside into the container.
  • the container 1 with the inventive arrangement for pouring flowable media is tightly sealed, so that even from an overturned container can flow out of its contents. Only when the valves are unlocked and opened by the push of a button can the container be emptied.
  • FIG. 9 Another embodiment of a container 1 with integrated spout assembly is in the FIG. 9 shown.
  • the essential components of this arrangement are again a spout 2 arranged pivotally on the spout 13 of the container 1, a spout valve arranged inside the spout 13 and a lock of the spout valve, an actuating device 9 with a pressure slide 10 'for actuating the spout valve, a connecting member between the spout Pressure lever 10 'and the spout valve, namely a push rod, and an integrated in the actuator 9, with the pressure slide 10' lockable vent valve.
  • a closable with a cover 6 filling opening 5 is provided at the top of a container side.
  • the container 1 has an upwardly tapering shape, so that the filling opening 5 in the projection of the base of the Container 1 is not surmounted. This has the advantage that the container bottom surface can be stored next to each other bordering the bottom surface.
  • a container handle 32 is integrated in the container.
  • the cavities of the container handles 32 are connected to the interior of the container 1, so that when filled and closed container 1, a sufficiently large gas cushion remains, which can accommodate the volume or pressure fluctuations in temperature changes.
