Definitions

  • Discharge device for flowable media, with a serving for storing fluid media container having a base portion and a subsequent neckline with a container opening at the one, a mouth region with at least one outlet port for flowable medium having applicator for transporting medium from Media container is arranged to the outside, wherein a closure cap is provided, which is releasably held in a closed position via locking means on the discharge and coupled to the applicator, that on the cap and the applicator associated and cooperating in the closed position sealing means sealing the mouth region of the Applicator is done.
  • a discharge device for flowable media of this kind is for example from the DE 698 22 360 T2 known.
  • the applicator designated as an attachment is placed on the container opening of the media container, wherein a part of the applicator encloses the outside of the medium container.
  • the applicator in turn is made in two parts, wherein a porous insert is provided, passes through the flowable medium selectively to the outside.
  • a closure cap which is fixed on the applicator via locking means. Due to the on the media container patch applicator on which then turn the cap is placed, the discharge has a relatively large overall height.
  • a discharge device in which an annular bead is provided on the inside of the media container.
  • This bead also serves as a stop for the applicator to be inserted into the media container as well as a sealing surface between the applicator and the media container.
  • the cap is also placed on the applicator.
  • the container opening must therefore be designed to be relatively large, whereby the container wall is formed in the region of the container opening is relatively thin-walled, so as not to let the width dimension become too large.
  • the free end or the edge of the media container is very susceptible to cracking and breakage.
  • the bead must be made with high tolerance to achieve a sufficiently reliable seal between the applicator and media container.
  • the object is to provide a discharge device for flowable media of the type mentioned above, which is characterized by a small size and yet allows a simple seal with attached cap.
  • the discharge device according to the invention for flowable media is characterized in that the locking means on the one hand on an inner side of the cap and on the other hand, are arranged in a filling direction of flowable medium below the container opening, on the outside of the neck portion of the media container.
  • the cap is therefore not locked on the applicator but on the media container itself.
  • the overall height of the discharge device compared to the aforementioned prior art DE 698 22 360 T2 lower.
  • the discharge device according to the invention can thus be made much more compact overall. With the same height as in the prior art, the media container so be higher due to the more compact arrangement of cap and applicator, creating more storage volume for flowable medium is available.
  • the locking means are formed by an annular locking bead and an annular locking undercut, behind which the locking bead can be latched snapping.
  • the closure formed between the closure cap and the neck portion on the media container can thus be realized by a simple snap-in connection that can be produced at low cost.
  • the locking bead is located on the inside of the closure cap, while the Locking undercut is formed on the media container.
  • the locking bead is formed on the outside of the neck part and the locking undercut on the inside of the closure cap.
  • annular sealing seat in the closed position or locking position of the closure cap to the sealing seat sealingly fitting annular sealing sleeve.
  • sealing seat on the applicator and the sealing sleeve on the inside of the cap is particularly preferred.
  • the annular sealing seat is formed as a sealing groove in which the sealing sleeve is sealingly received in the closed position of the closure cap.
  • the neck portion of the media container has a smaller diameter relative to the base part, wherein the closure cap does not protrude beyond the outer circumference of the base part in the closing position.
  • the closure cap has a diameter which substantially corresponds to the diameter of the media container.
  • the cap has a cylindrical shape, with a cylindrical shell portion, which essentially forms a projection-free transition in the closed position with the outer circumference.
  • a good stackability of adjacent discharge devices is achieved, since adjacent discharge devices can then be placed against each other in parallel.
  • the closure cap were to protrude beyond the circumference or diameter of the media container, only an oblique juxtaposition would be possible, as a result of which storage space would be lost.
  • the applicator can be made concave at the mouth region.
  • a plurality of grid-shaped outlet openings are provided.
  • the outlet openings are aligned with each other so that a rapid drop formation is possible.
  • a rapid and optimal droplet formation is generated.
  • the applicator is designed to be free of applicator sections enclosing the holding section, wherein it has a fastening portion which is fixed in a fixed position with a press fit without further fastening means on the inside of the container wall surrounding the container opening.
  • the applicator can thus be easily attached to the media container, in which case only the muzzle tolerance of the container opening and the manufacturing tolerance of the applicator is decisive for the secure fit of the applicator.
  • the applicator does not increase the diameter of the discharge device, as is the case for example in the aforementioned prior art, in which a part of the applicator encloses the container wall of the medium container.
  • the attachment section in the inserted into the media container state of the applicator does not protrude far into the space enclosed by the base of the interior of the media container.
  • the media container made of glass while applicator and cap made of plastic.
  • the discharge device according to the invention offers the only economically viable glass solution. It is easy to manufacture and 100% economical.
  • the above-mentioned internal prior art is not suitable as a glass solution, since the production, in particular due to the formation of the bead, is expensive and produces much breakage during manufacture.
  • FIGS. 1 to 4 show a first embodiment of the discharge device 11 according to the invention for flowable media.
  • the discharge device 11 has a medium container 12 for storing fluid media.
  • the media container 12 is made of glass - then the discharge could also be referred to as a vial - or alternatively of plastic material, such as polypropylene. In the case of a media container 12 made of plastic, this can be produced by means of plastic injection molding.
  • the media container 12 has a base portion 13 with a bottom 14, wherein integrally connected to the base portion 13 at the opposite side of the bottom 14 a neck portion 15, at the upper end of a container opening 16 is provided.
  • the front end of the neck portion 15 forms an annular end surface 17.
  • the container opening 16 surrounding container wall is initially configured relatively thick-walled, thereby forming a support portion 19.
  • In filling direction 18 behind the support portion 19th decreases the diameter of the neck portion 15 again, whereby a locking undercut 20 is formed, which is part of the locking means described in more detail below.
  • a liquid such as an eau de toilette, such as Eau de perfume or Eau de Toilette, or a sterile liquid such as liquid pharmaceuticals, etc.
  • eau de toilette such as Eau de perfume or Eau de Toilette
  • sterile liquid such as liquid pharmaceuticals, etc.
  • an applicator 21 for transporting liquid from the media container 12 is arranged to the outside.
  • the applicator 21 is made of plastic material, such as polypropylene or polyethylene.
  • the applicator 21 is produced by means of plastic injection molding.
  • the applicator 21 has a fastening part 22 whose outer diameter is adapted to the diameter of the container opening 16 in such a way that the applicator 21 is fixed in a fixed position with interference fit without further fastening means on the inner wall of the container wall 16 surrounding container wall.
  • the attachment part 22 does not protrude far into the interior of the media container 12 enclosed by the base part. As a result, a good and fast emptying is possible.
  • the attachment section 22 of the applicator 21 is followed by a mouth portion 23, which protrudes from the container opening 16 in the attached state.
  • the outer diameter of the mouth portion 23 is thus greater than the diameter of the container opening 16.
  • the upper end of the mouth portion 23 forms a front portion 24, on the outside of which there is a mouth region 25 with a plurality of outlet openings 26.
  • the outlet orifices 26 are arranged in a grid, for example, if a Cartesian cordonate system is used as the basis, exit orifices 26 can be provided in each case in one of the quadrants, wherein additionally an exit orifice extending through the zero point is provided. However, the number and the arrangement of the outlet openings 26 is freely variable.
  • the exit ports 26 each correspond to a wall of the end portion 24 passing through the outlet channel 27 with a lesser Diameter.
  • the liquid to be dispensed can therefore pass via the respective outlet channels 27 to the outlet openings 26 and from there to the surface of the end section 24. Due to the concave configuration of the mouth region 25 and the characteristic arrangement of the outlet openings, liquid can collect in the center of the mouth region 25, where a drop then forms. It is hereby allows a quick drop formation.
  • the mouth region 25 is surrounded by an annular sealing seat in the form of a sealing groove 28, which is part of the sealing means.
  • the sealing groove has two spaced apart substantially mutually parallel groove flanks 29a, 29b and a groove bottom, which may optionally be provided with a bead-like elevation 30.
  • the lateral surface 31 of the mouth portion 23 may be configured concave.
  • the end portion 24 of the mouth portion 23 opposite a stop portion 32 is formed, which is provided with an annular stop surface 33 which is supported on the annular end face 17 of the neck portion 15 of the media container 12.
  • an annular gap 34 may be provided in the radial direction further inside the stop part 32.
  • the discharge device 11 further comprises a closure cap 35, which is releasably held in a closing or locking position via locking means on the discharge device 11 and is coupled to the applicator 21, that on the closure cap 35 and the applicator 21 associated and cooperating in the closed position sealing means a sealing of the mouth region 25 of the applicator 21 takes place.
  • the cap 35 is suitably made of plastic material, such as polypropylene.
  • the cap 35 is also manufactured by means of plastic injection molding.
  • the closure cap 35 has a cylindrical shell portion 36, on the inside of which there is an annular locking bead 37 which, like the locking undercut 20 on the media container 12, is part of the locking means.
  • the cylindrical shell portion 36 is closed at one end by a lid portion 38, on the inside of which an annular sealing sleeve 39 is located, wherein the sealing sleeve 39 is integrally formed on the lid portion 38.
  • the annular sealing sleeve 39 like the sealing groove 28 present on the applicator 21, is part of the sealing means.
  • the annular sealing sleeve 39 dips into the sealing groove 28, whereby the mouth region 25 of the applicator 21 is sealed liquid-tight.
  • the outside of the lid portion 38 is configured concave according to the first embodiment.
  • FIG. 5 shows a second embodiment of the discharge device 11 according to the invention, which differs from the first embodiment described above in that instead of an annular sealing groove 28 on the applicator 21, an annular sealing seat 40 is formed on the lateral surface of the mouth portion 23 of the applicator 21, to which the radially on the cap 35 designed sealing sleeve 39 applies liquid-tight.
  • a further sealing sleeve 41 is arranged on the closure cap 35, which rests on the outside of the end portion 24 of the mouth portion 23 of the applicator 21 and the mouth region 25 outlined.
  • a second liquid-tight seal is realized.
  • the outside of the lid portion 38 of the cap 35 is formed flat.
  • FIG. 6 a third embodiment of the discharge device 11 according to the invention is shown, which differs from the second embodiment described above in that the shell portion 36 of the cap 35 is designed convex. Again, two coaxial with each other annular sealing sleeves 39, 41 are provided in a similar manner to the second embodiment described above.
  • the cap 35 is placed on the neck portion 15 of the media container 12 and further pressed down until the annular locking bead 37 snaps behind the annular locking undercut 20 on the neck portion 15.
  • the annular sealing sleeve 39 is tensioned according to the first embodiment in the annular sealing groove 28, whereby a liquid-tight seal by the pair-contacting groove flanks 29a, 29b on the sealing groove and the sleeve flanks of the sealing sleeve 39 and optionally the bead-like elevation 30 with the end face of the sealing sleeve 39 is achieved.
  • the applicator 21 only protrudes over the neck portion 15 of the media container 12 with a small overall height and the closure cap 35 is not locked on the applicator 21, but also on the neck portion 15, a relatively compact design is realized, so that compared to the prior art at the same height more storage volume through a larger design media container 12 is available stands.
  • the production of the media container 12 made of glass is unproblematic, since here the neck portion 15 in the region of the container opening 16 can be made relatively thick-walled and thereby the risk of breakage or cracking is reduced in this area.
