Definitions

  • the invention relates to a self-closing dispensing head for a pressure vessel with a dispensing valve for dispensing media, in particular viscose, self-foaming and / or gel-like products, wherein the dispensing head a closable by a closing element discharge opening, an opening mechanism through which in the assembled state, the dispensing valve of Pressure vessel can be opened, and having an opening into the discharge opening channel for the medium, wherein the channel has at least a first channel portion and a second channel portion and wherein actuated by pressure on an actuating element both the opening mechanism and designed as a movable closing piston closing element and the second channel portion relative to each other are moved so that the closing element is moved out with the release of a discharge opening from the discharge opening.
  • Pressure vessels with dispensing heads for eg shaving foams and gels of conventional design usually have a non-closable dispensing opening, so that it After use often comes to the fact that in spite of no longer activated actuators, the medium nachlaufs or nachCumt, resulting in unsightly residues in the output port, which dry out and contaminate the newly applied, fresh medium when reused. In addition, the discharge opening is often clogged due to dried and clumped residual medium.
  • a dispensing head for a medium in which the closing element is elastic.
  • An actuator acts in a shaft-like region in front of the dispensing head of the closing element on this and can cause a deflection of this shaft when actuated with the consequence that the dispensing head can be moved into the housing interior to release a dispensing opening.
  • the closing element is moved back into the dispensing opening with the consequence that still adhering medium residues are pressed into the dispensing opening and clog these or NachSumen is unavoidable.
  • a self-closing dispensing head for a pressure vessel with a dispensing valve for dispensing media, in particular viscous, self-foaming and / or gel-like products is known in which the dispensing head a closable by a closing element discharge opening, an opening mechanism through which the dispensing valve of the pressure vessel is opened in the assembled state can be and has a channel opening into the discharge opening for the medium.
  • the channel has at least a first channel portion and a second channel portion, wherein actuated by the pressure on an actuating element, both the opening mechanism and the locking member designed as a movable closing piston and the second channel portion relative are moved relative to each other such that the closing element is movable out of the dispensing opening while releasing a dispensing opening.
  • centering lugs are provided, being provided between individual centering flow through chambers for the medium, and on the side facing away from the dispensing opening end of the closing piston, an elastic spring portion is provided, which is bounded at the end by a standing with the actuator head piece.
  • the head piece in this case has a rounded cross-sectional configuration, wherein the actuating element slides during the opening and closing movement of the closing piston on the rounded head piece in the open or closed position and wherein the rounding of the head piece is adapted to the movement path of the actuating element.
  • Self-foaming or gel-like products can be applied relatively well with this self-closing dispensing head. In many applications, however, it can not be ruled out that re-foaming of the product takes place.
  • the self-closing dispensing head according to claim 1 is provided.
  • a self-closing dispensing head is created for a pressure vessel, with the very clean a medium and not, as conventionally rather spiral, but is straight forward.
  • This is due in particular to the fact that due to the provided centering lugs, which are supported in the second channel portion on the inner surfaces during the entire movement of the closing piston both during transfer to its open position as well as transfer to its closed position, relative positional deviations of the closing piston relative to housing parts safely avoided are, which means that over the prior art, no position inaccuracies during the closing process in the region of the outlet opening occur, so that the closing piston can be reproduced and accurately translated into its opening and closing position.
  • the centering lugs are preferably distributed over a peripheral portion evenly distributed on the closing piston. It has been found that, for example, four centering approaches, which are evenly distributed over the circumference, allow a positionally accurate movement and centering of the closing piston. It must be ensured that during the entire closing movement no tilting moments are possible over the length of the closing piston, so that the centering elements on the closing piston extend near its front end.
  • the front end can also have a cross-sectional widening, which extends over the circumference of the closing piston, so that it has an enlarged peripheral portion there, on which the centering elements are arranged. This also leads to an increase in the flow rate of the medium to be dispensed there.
  • a sealing element is injection molded, preferably via an inner central supply channel within the closing piston and perpendicular thereto, in the lateral surface of the closing piston opening feed lines.
  • a sealing material consists e.g. made of a plastic soft material such as e.g. TPE, silicone.
  • the closing piston may e.g. made of ABS, PP or POM material, each plastic hard materials.
  • the second channel portion has a valve seat into which the closing piston with the sealing element in its closed position is to be completely introduced.
  • a slight oblique orientation of the closing piston to the horizontal is taking a position, wherein an upper region of the output-side end of the closing piston is arranged at a distance to the Ausgabö Stammsende, but otherwise no longer protrudes beyond the housing of the dispensing head in the region of the dispensing opening.
  • the closing piston assumes a position in the valve seat that its front end is flush with the outer surface of the housing, so that product residues can be easily removed. This can very clean there still adhering material on the seal and the valve seat are returned to the side channel section.
  • the dispensing head which is preferably formed integrally with the pressure vessel, not shown.
  • This has a housing 2 and a not shown discharge valve for dispensing media, such as viscous, self-foaming and / or gel-like products.
  • This dispensing valve is associated with the inner container space in which the medium is filled, and can be operated by an opening mechanism.
  • the dispensing head has a dispensing opening in fluid communication with a first channel section 4 and a second channel section 5.
  • the second Channel section is associated with the designed as a closing piston closing element which dominates the discharge opening 3.
  • This closing piston is arranged relatively movably within the channel section 5, so that it moves out of its closed position (FIG. Fig. 1 ) in its open position ( Fig. 2 ) can be moved.
  • an actuating element 7 is provided, which from its rest position ( Fig. 1 ) Can be pressed into the operating position and thus can be pivoted. This actuator 7 simultaneously actuates the opening mechanism with which the dispensing valve can be opened.
  • 6.1 centering 6.2 are formed in the front region of the closing piston 6 at a portion 6.1, which are supported on the inner circumferential surfaces of the second channel section 5 in the housing.
  • a total of four centering 6.2 are distributed evenly distributed over the circumference.
  • a valve seat 3.1 is formed in the housing. This valve seat is associated with the front region of the closing piston 6, which is provided with a molded plastic soft material seal 8.
  • the front head section 6.4 of the closing piston 6 has a congruent design following the conical shape of the valve seat and is to be completely introduced into the valve seat, as shown in more detail Fig. 3 shows. It takes in the Fig. 3 apparent upper part a distance from the outlet opening 3 (the front end) a. Nevertheless, he is a total sunk arranged in the closed state, so that about the remaining Remaining quantities of the dispensed medium are to be wiped off with a finger swipe and then, with a simple rinsing process, the still accessible from the outside is also rinsed off the valve seat. This reliably avoids that residual quantities which can dry out and agglomerate remain in the area of the outlet opening 3. By the return movement of the closing piston out of his Fig. 4 apparent opening position in the closed position in Fig. 3 causes residual amounts remaining to be returned to the inner channel section 5.
  • the discharge opening 3 facing away from the end of the closing piston has a spring element 9 made of a plastic soft material, which is provided to the actuating element 7 out with a head 10, which has a rounded sliding surface 10.1.
  • the spring element 9 is at the same time a sealing element, so that the product mass can not leave the container there either.
  • the actuating element has a correspondingly congruent contact surface 7.1, which slides along this surface 10.1 in the course of the actuation, that is to say depression of the actuating element 7. Due to the rounding there are only relatively low frictional forces, which also means that no tilting moments are transmitted to the closing piston as in the prior art.
  • the desired near-horizontal position of the closing piston can be realized, although it is acted perpendicular to the actuating element. Due to the low frictional forces, the reduced tilting moments and the provided centering approaches 6.2, the closing piston is very precise position in the respective open or closed position to translate, resulting in an optimized sealing behavior and taking the closed position with superimposed recycling of the medium leads.
  • Fig. 8 is the inner channel 6.5 can be seen in the transverse channels 6.6 for molding the seal 8 and the spring element 9 open.
