Abstract

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen selbstschließenden Ausgabekopf 1 für einen Druckbehälter mit einem Abgabeventil zur Abgabe von Medien, insbesondere viskosen, selbstschäumenden und/oder gelartigen Produkten, wobei der Ausgabekopf eine durch ein Schließelement verschließbare Ausgabeöffnung 3, einen Öffnungsmechanismus, durch welchen im montierten Zustand das Abgabeventil des Druckbehälters geöffnet werden kann und einen in die Ausgabeöffnung 3 mündenden Kanal für das Medium aufweist, wobei der Kanal einen ersten Kanalabschnitt 4 und einen zweiten Kanalabschnitt 5 aufweist und wobei durch Druck auf ein Betätigungselement 7 sowohl der Öffnungsmechanismus betätigbar als auch das Schließelement und der zweite Kanalabschnitt 5 relativ zueinander derart bewegt werden, daß die Ausgabeöffnung freiggebbar ist. Um die Ausgabeöffnung sicher schließen zu können ohne das Risiko, daß ein Rest von auszugebendem Medium dort verbleibt, ist vorgesehen, daß das Schließelement als beweglicher Schließkolben mit auf seiner Kolbenmantelfläche mit Abstand voneinander vorgesehenen und mit dem Schließkolben 6 bewegbaren Zentrieransätzen 6.2 ausgebildet ist, wobei zwischen einzelnen Zentrieransätzen 6.2 Durchströmräume 6.3 für das Medium vorgesehen sind.

The invention relates to a self-closing dispensing head 1 for a pressure vessel with a dispensing valve for dispensing media, in particular viscous, self-foaming and / or gelatinous products, wherein the dispensing head a closable by a closing element discharge opening 3, an opening mechanism through which in the assembled state Dispensing valve of the pressure vessel can be opened and has an opening into the discharge port 3 channel for the medium, wherein the channel has a first channel section 4 and a second channel section 5 and wherein actuated by pressure on an actuating element 7, both the opening mechanism and the closing element and the second channel section 5 are moved relative to each other such that the discharge opening is releasable. In order to close the discharge opening safely without the risk that a remnant medium to be dispensed there remains, it is provided that the closing element is designed as a movable closing piston with on its piston skirt surface spaced apart and movable with the closing piston 6 Zentrieransätzen 6.2, wherein between individual centering lugs 6.2 flow-through chambers 6.3 are provided for the medium.
