Abstract

The dispenser (1) has a pump chamber (25) with a movable upper pump chamber part (8) and a fixed lower pump chamber part (6), where the chamber parts are movable relative to one another for a pumping process. An outlet valve (20) is arranged on the pump chamber, and a mandrel (35) moves the outlet valve into a release position before beginning the pumping process. A dispenser head part (11) acts on the upper pump chamber part, and the mandrel is connected with the dispenser head part. The mandrel moves the upper pump chamber part from a final pumping position into a starting pumping position.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Spender mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffes des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a dispenser with the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Derartige Spender sind bereits in vielfältiger Ausgestaltung bekannt geworden. Es wird beispielsweise auf die EP 520315 A1 verwiesen.Such dispensers have already become known in various designs. It is for example on the EP 520315 A1 directed.

Weiter ist zum Stand der Technik auf die US 2008/0093386 A1 zu verweisen.
Bei dem hieraus bekannten Spender erfolgt die Rückstellung des Pumpkammeroberteils durch eine zwischen dem Einlassventil und dem Auslassventil wirkende Feder. Das Steuerteil liegt auf dem als Kugel ausgebildeten Auslassventil lediglich auf und wirkt nicht mit dem Pumpkammeroberteil zusammen.
Next is the state of the art on the US 2008/0093386 A1 to refer.
In the dispenser known therefrom, the return of the pump chamber upper part takes place by means of a spring acting between the inlet valve and the outlet valve. The control part rests only on the exhaust valve designed as a ball and does not interact with the pump chamber upper part.

Darüber hinaus ist zum Stand der Technik auf die US 2006/0237483 A1 und die US 2001/0054623 A1 zu verweisen.In addition, the state of the art on the US 2006/0237483 A1 and the US 2001/0054623 A1 to refer.

Ausgehend von dem zunächst genannten Stand der Technik beschäftigt sich die Erfindung mit der Aufgabe, einen zuverlässig arbeitenden Spender anzugeben.Based on the first mentioned prior art, the invention is concerned with the task of specifying a reliable working donor.

Diese Aufgabe ist beim Gegenstand des Anspruches 1 gelöst, wobei darauf abgestellt ist, dass das Pumpkammeroberteil vermittels des Steuerteils aus einer Pump-Endstellung in eine Pump-Anfangsstellung durch Zurückschleppen zurück verlagerbar ist. Dies ist dann vorteilhaft, wenn eine Rückstellfeder, die bevorzugt in dem Spender vorgesehen ist, um die Pumpkammerteile nach einem Zusammenfahren wieder auseinander zu bewegen, nicht auf das Pumpkammeroberteil einwirkt, sondern auf das Spenderteil, welches das Steuerteil aufweist, also etwa auf ein Spenderkopfteil. Vermittels des Steuerteils, das insoweit an das Pumpkammeroberteil zuggekoppelt sein kann, kann dann hierüber nach einem Zusammenfahren der Kammerteile zur Durchführung einer Pumpbewegung das Zurückfahren des Pumpkammeroberteils bewirkt werden.This object is achieved in the subject matter of claim 1, wherein it is based on the fact that the pumping chamber upper part is displaceable back by means of the control part from a pump end position to a pump starting position by dragging back. This is advantageous if a return spring, which is preferably provided in the dispenser to move the pump chamber parts apart again after a collapse, does not act on the pump chamber upper part, but on the dispenser part, which has the control part, that is approximately on a dispenser head part. By means of the Control parts, which can be zuggekoppelt in this respect to the pumping chamber upper part, can then be effected here by a collapse of the chamber parts to carry out a pumping movement, the return of the pump chamber shell.

Bei diesem Spender wird das Auslassventil nicht wie üblich durch die Masse selbst verlagert, sondern muss zunächst aktiv in eine Freigabestellung verlagert werden. Diese Verlagerung in die Freigabestellung muss vorgeschaltet zu jedem Pumpvorgang erfolgen. Dies beinhaltet zugleich, dass ansonsten, nach Beendigung des Pumpvorganges, das Auslassventil sich in der Sperrstellung befindet. Es ist eine zwangsläufige Abfolge bei der Durchführung eines Pumpvorganges gegeben, dass erst, zu Beginn des Pumpvorganges, das Auslassventil über einen besonderen Vorgang in eine Freigabestellung zu verlagern ist. Eine Erschütterung des Spenders insgesamt oder eine nur leichte Berührung eines grundsätzlich zur Durchführung eines Pumpvorganges an dem Spender zu betätigenden Teils führt noch nicht zu einem Masseaustritt.In this dispenser, the exhaust valve is not displaced as usual by the mass itself, but must first be actively shifted to a release position. This shift to the release position must be made upstream of each pumping operation. This also means that otherwise, after completion of the pumping operation, the outlet valve is in the blocking position. There is an inevitable sequence in the implementation of a pumping process given that only at the beginning of the pumping operation, the exhaust valve is to be relocated via a special process in a release position. A vibration of the donor in total or only a light touch of a basically to perform a pumping operation on the dispenser to be actuated part does not lead to a mass leak.

Es ist besonders bevorzugt, dass für eine Einwirkung auf das Pumpkammeroberteil ein Betätigungsteil vorgesehen ist und das Steuerteil mit dem Betätigungsteil verbunden ist. Die Einwirkung auf das Betätigungsteil bewirkt damit zugleich - und auch zunächst, vor Durchführung des Pumpvorganges -, eine Einwirkung auf das Auslassventil. Ein besonderer Betätigungsvorgang ist nicht erforderlich. Für den Benutzer braucht diese voreilende Einwirkung auf das Auslassventil gar nicht in Erscheinung zu treten.It is particularly preferred that an actuating part is provided for acting on the pump chamber upper part and the control part is connected to the actuating part. The action on the actuating part thus causes at the same time - and also first, before the pumping process is carried out - an effect on the outlet valve. A special operation is not required. For the user, this leading effect on the exhaust valve need not appear at all.

Weiterhin kann das Betätigungsteil ein Spenderkopfteil sein. Zur Benutzung wird das Spenderkopfteil heruntergedrückt und hierbei dann bevorzugt zunächst die Aussteuerung des Auslassventils in die Freigabestellung bewirkt und im Weiteren dann der Pumpvorgang, d.h. das Ausbringen der Masse aus einer Spendemündung des Spenders.Furthermore, the actuating part may be a dispenser head part. For use, the dispenser head portion is depressed and this then preferably first causes the modulation of the exhaust valve in the release position and then the pumping process, ie the discharge of the mass from a donor mouth of the donor.

Besonders bevorzugt ist, dass das Steuerteil als mit dem Betätigungsteil verbundener Dorn ausgebildet ist. Hiermit lässt sich in einfacher Weise, insbesondere wenn, wie bevorzugt, der Dorn sich vertikal erstreckt, die Betätigungskraft auf das Auslassventil übertragen. Es ist auch eine raumsparende Gestaltung erreicht. Es ist auch bevorzugt, dass das Steuerteil noch nicht bei erster Bewegung des Betätigungsteils auf das Auslassventil einwirkt, sondern dass ein Leerhub vorgeschaltet ist. Dies wird beispielsweise ereicht durch ein Abstandsmaß zwischen der Spitze des beispielsweise Dorns und dem Auslassventil.It is particularly preferred that the control part is formed as a mandrel connected to the actuating part. This makes it possible in a simple manner, in particular if, as is preferred, the mandrel extends vertically, to transmit the actuating force to the outlet valve. It is also a space-saving design achieved. It is also preferred that the control part does not yet act on the outlet valve during the first movement of the actuating part, but that an idle stroke is arranged upstream. This is achieved, for example, by a distance measure between the tip of the example mandrel and the outlet valve.

Weiter bevorzugt kann das Auslassventil in dem gegenüber einem bevorzugt feststehend ausgebildeten Pumpkammerunterteil bevorzugt beweglich ausgebildeten Pumpkammeroberteil angeordnet sein. Das Auslassventil ist damit unmittelbar zugeordnet dem Spenderkopfteil, was entsprechend günstig ist, wenn dieses zugleich als das Betätigungsteil ausgebildet ist.More preferably, the outlet valve can be arranged in the pump chamber upper part, which is preferably designed to be movable relative to a preferably fixed pump chamber lower part. The outlet valve is thus directly associated with the dispenser head part, which is correspondingly favorable, if this is also formed as the actuating part.

Das Auslassventil ist in weiterer Einzelheit bevorzugt so gestaltet, dass es ohne die Verlagerung in die Auslassstellung bei einer Bewegung der Pumpkammerteile zueinander durch in der Pumpkammer unter Druck befindliche Masse in seine Verschlussstellung gedrückt wird, Es verschließt also nicht nur, solange es nicht angesteuert ist, die Pumpkammer, sondern ein etwa sich darin, etwa auf Grund von Erschütterungen, aufbauender Druck verstärkt zugleich noch die Verschlusswirkung des Auslassventils.The outlet valve is preferably designed in a further detail so that it is pressed without displacement into the outlet position in a movement of the pump chamber parts to each other by in the pumping chamber under pressure mass in its closed position, so it not only closes, as long as is not driven, the pumping chamber, but approximately in it, for example, due to shocks, building up pressure at the same time reinforces the closing action of the exhaust valve.

In weiterer Einzelheit ist bevorzugt, dass das Auslassventil einen Ventilteller aufweist und einen Ventil-Schaft, wobei der Ventil-Schaft von dem Ventilteller in Ausgaberichtung weisend angeordnet ist.In further detail, it is preferred that the outlet valve has a valve disk and a valve stem, wherein the valve stem is arranged facing away from the valve disk in the discharge direction.

Nachstehend ist die Erfindung weiter anhand der beigefügten Zeichnung erläutert, die aber lediglich ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung darstellt. Hierbei zeigt:

Dargestellt und beschrieben ist zunächst mit Bezug zu Fig. 1 ein Spender 1, der zur Ausgabe von fließfähigen bis pastösen Massen vorgesehen ist, beispielsweise Cremes kosmetischer Art oder aber auch beispielsweise zur Ausgabe von Zahnpasta.Shown and described is first with reference to Fig. 1 a dispenser 1, which is provided for dispensing flowable to pasty masses, for example creams of a cosmetic nature or else, for example, for dispensing toothpaste.

Der Spender 1 weist einen Spenderkopf 2 auf, der bei der Darstellung in Fig. 1 von einer Schutzkappe 3 überfangen ist. Die Schutzkappe 3 ist mittels an einem Spenderkopfunterteil 4 ausgebildeten Rastwülsten 5 an dem Spenderkopf rastgehaltert.The dispenser 1 has a dispensing head 2, which in the illustration in Fig. 1 is covered by a protective cap 3. The cap 3 is by means of a Spenderkopfunterteil 4 trained Rastwülsten 5 rastgehaltert on the dispenser head.

Das Spenderkopfunterteil 4 bildet zugleich einteilig das Pumpkammerunterteil 6 aus, das aus einem nach oben offenen Zylinderabschnitt besteht. Der Zylinderabschnitt weist oberseitig nach innen gerichtete Überfangvorsprünge 7 auf, welche die Rückhubbewegung des Pumpkammeroberteils 8, wie noch zu erläutern ist, begrenzen.The dispenser head lower part 4 also forms in one piece the pump chamber lower part 6, which consists of an upwardly open cylinder section. The cylinder portion has upper-side inwardly directed overlapping projections 7, which limit the return stroke movement of the pump chamber upper part 8, as will be explained later.

Außenseitig an dem Pumpkammerunterteil 6 ist eine Rückstellfeder in Form eines Federbalges 9 angeordnet. Mit einem Fußbereich 10 liegt der Federbalg 9 außenseitig an dem Pumpkammerunterteil an. Oberseitig stützt er sich an einer Unterseite eines Spenderkopfteils 11 ab.On the outside of the pump chamber lower part 6, a return spring in the form of a bellows 9 is arranged. With a foot region 10, the bellows 9 is located on the outside of the pump chamber lower part. On the upper side it is supported on an underside of a dispenser head part 11.

Das Spenderkopfteil 11 ist innenseitig eines an dem Spenderkopfunterteil 4 konzentrisch zu dem Pumpkammerunterteil 6 ausgebildeten Führungsabschnittes 12 geführt. Dieser Führungsabschnitt 12 weist zur Ausfahrbegrenzung, in grundsätzlich gleicher Weise wie das Pumpkammerunterteil 6, nach innen ragende Vorsprünge 13 auf, die auch als umlaufende Kante ausgebildet sein können.The dispenser head part 11 is guided on the inside of a guide section 12 formed concentrically with the pump chamber lower part 6 on the dispenser head lower part 4. This guide portion 12 has the Ausfahrbegrenzung, in basically the same way as the pumping chamber lower part 6, inwardly projecting projections 13, which may also be formed as a peripheral edge.

In dem Spenderkopfteil 11 ist ein Ausgaberöhrchen 14 ausgebildet, das in einer Spendemündung 15 ausläuft. Diese ist seitlich gerichtet.In the dispenser head part 11, a dispensing tube 14 is formed which terminates in a dispensing mouth 15. This is directed to the side.

Das Spenderkopfteil 11 weist weiter innenseitig, auch innen zu dem oberen Bereich des Pumpenbalges 9, einen zylindrischen Führungsabschnitt 16 auf, in dem das Pumpkammeroberteil 17 geführt ist.The dispenser head part 11 has further on the inside, also inside to the upper portion of the pump bellows 9, a cylindrical guide portion 16 in which the pumping chamber upper part 17 is guided.

Das Pumpkammeroberteil 17 setzt sich im Einzelnen aus einem Kolbenteil 18, einem Aufnahmeteil 19 und dem zwischen dem Kolbenteil 18 und dem Aufnahmeteil 19 gefassten Auslassventil 20 zusammen.The pump chamber upper part 17 is composed in detail of a piston part 18, a receiving part 19 and the exhaust valve 20 which is held between the piston part 18 and the receiving part 19.

Das Kolbenteil 18 weist unterseitig einen Kolbenabschnitt 21 auf, der innenseitig des Zylinderabschnittes des Pumpkammerunterteils 6 teleskopierbar angeordnet ist.The piston part 18 has on its underside a piston portion 21 which is arranged telescopically on the inside of the cylinder portion of the pump chamber lower part 6.

In dem Spenderkopfunterteil 4 ist weiterhin ein Einlassventil 22 angeordnet, das durch ein Halteteil 23 in dem Spenderkopfunterteil 4 rastgehaltert ist.In the dispenser head lower part 4, an inlet valve 22 is further arranged, which is latched by a holding part 23 in the dispenser head lower part 4.

Sowohl das Einlassventil 22, wie auch das Auslassventil 20 bestehen aus einem Weichkunststoff. Hierbei ist bei dem Einlassventil 22 ein Ventilteller 24 vorgesehen, der bei Unterdruck, d.h. bei Rückhubbewegung des Pumpkammeroberteils 8 (Fig. 3) in der Pumpkammer 25 von der durch das Rastteil gebildeten Ventilgegenfläche 26 abhebt und Masse aus dem Vorratsraum 27 in die Pumpkammer eintreten lässt. Der Ventilteller 22 ist über im Einzelnen nicht dargestellte Verbindungsarme mit einem Montageabschnitt 28 des Einlassventils 22 verbunden.Both the inlet valve 22, as well as the outlet valve 20 are made of a soft plastic. In this case, a valve plate 24 is provided in the inlet valve 22, which at negative pressure, ie upon return stroke movement of the pump chamber upper part 8 (FIG. Fig. 3 ) in the pumping chamber 25 lifts off from the valve counter-area 26 formed by the latching part and allows mass to enter from the storage space 27 into the pumping chamber. The valve disk 22 is connected to a mounting portion 28 of the inlet valve 22 via connecting arms, not shown in detail.

Das Auslassventil 20 weist gleichfalls einen zylinderförmigen Montageabschnitt 29 auf, der innenseitig des Aufnahmeteils 19 angeordnet ist. Er ist zugleich von dem Kolbenteil 18 unten und innen überfasst.The outlet valve 20 also has a cylindrical mounting portion 29, which is arranged on the inside of the receiving part 19. He is also covered by the piston part 18 below and inside.

In dem Montageabschnitt 29, der über einen Verjüngungsabschnitt 30 in einen Ventilteller 31 übergeht, sind, beim Ausführungsbeispiel in dem Verjüngungsabschnitt 30, Durchgangswege 32 für die Masse vorgesehen. Der Ventilteller 31 liegt vermittels eines oberen Randes 33 an dem Aufnahmeteil 19 dichtend an. Mittels eines an den Ventilteller 31 angeformten Ventil-Schaftes 34 ragt er in einen oberen verjüngten Zylinderabschnitt des Aufnahmeteils 19 ein.In the mounting portion 29, which merges via a taper portion 30 in a valve plate 31, are provided in the embodiment in the taper portion 30, passageways 32 for the mass. The valve disk 31 is sealingly connected to the receiving part 19 by means of an upper edge 33. By means of an integrally formed on the valve plate 31 valve stem 34 he projects into an upper tapered cylinder portion of the receiving part 19 a.

An dem Spenderkopfteil 11 ist weiterhin innenseitig ein nach unten gerichteter Dorn 35 ausgebildet, der axial mit dem Ventil-Schaft 34 fluchtet. In der unbetätigten Stellung gemäß Fig. 1 ist der Dorn 35 mit vertikalem Abstand hinsichtlich seines freien Endes zu dem oberen freien Ende des Ventil-Schaftes 34 angeordnet. Das erbringt beim Niederdrücken des Spenderkopfteils 11 einen entsprechenden Weg, dem noch keine Einwirkung auf das Auslassventil 20 zugeordnet ist.On the dispenser head part 11, a downwardly directed mandrel 35 is further formed on the inside, which is aligned axially with the valve stem 34. In the unconfirmed position according to Fig. 1 the mandrel 35 is arranged at a vertical distance with respect to its free end to the upper free end of the valve stem 34. This results in depressing the dispenser head part 11 a corresponding way, which is still associated with no influence on the exhaust valve 20.

Der Dorn 35 besitzt unterseitig eine wulstartige Verdickung 36, die ein Herausziehen aus der Durchgangsbohrung 37 in dem Aufnahmeteil 19, durch welches sich der Dorn 35 hindurcherstreckt, hindert. Zugleich ermöglicht dies das Zurückziehen des Pumpkammeroberteils nach einer Niederdrückung, wie weiter unten noch beschrieben.The mandrel 35 has a bead-like thickening 36 on the underside, which prevents withdrawal from the through hole 37 in the receiving part 19, through which the mandrel 35 extends therethrough. At the same time this allows the retraction of the pump chamber upper part after a depression, as further described below.

Bei einer Betätigung des Spenders durch Drücken auf das Spenderkopfteil 11 fährt zunächst bei Einfederung des Pumpbalges 9 das Spenderkopfteil 11 nach unten bis die Stirnfläche des Dorns 35 mit der zugewandten Stirnfläche des Ventil-Schaftes 34 in Berührung kommt. Bei einem Fortsetzen des Hubes drückt das Spenderkopfteil 11 vermittels des Dorns 35 und des Ventil-Schaftes 34 das Auslassventil nach unten, derart, dass der Ventilteller 31 einen Durchlass aus der Pumpkammer 25 in das Ausgaberöhrchen 24 freigibt. Das Niederdrücken des Auslassventils ist begrenzt durch eine Anschlagstellung des Führungsabschnittes 16 an einer zugeordneten äußeren Schulter 38 des Aufnahmeteils 19, siehe Fig. 2. Wenn der vorgenannte Anschlag erreicht ist, erfolgt im Weiteren, bei weiterem Niederdrücken des Spenderkopfteils 11, eine Verkleinerung der Pumpkammer 25 und damit einhergehend ein Austrag von Masse aus der Pumpkammer 25 durch das Spenderöhrchen 14 und die Mündung 15.Upon actuation of the dispenser by pressing on the dispenser head part 11, the dispenser head part 11 first moves downward when the pump bellows 9 is deflected, until the end face of the mandrel 35 comes into contact with the facing end face of the valve shaft 34. As the stroke continues, the dispenser head portion 11 pushes the outlet valve downwardly by means of the spike 35 and the valve stem 34, such that the valve disc 31 releases a passageway from the pumping chamber 25 into the dispensing tube 24. The depression of the outlet valve is limited by a stop position of the guide portion 16 on an associated outer shoulder 38 of the receiving part 19, see Fig. 2 , If the abovementioned stop is reached, a further reduction of the pumping head part 11, a reduction of the pumping chamber 25 and concomitantly a discharge of mass from the pumping chamber 25 through the dispensing tube 14 and the mouth 15.

Wenn der Betätigungsdruck von dem Spenderkopfteil 11 genommen wird, fährt das Spenderkopfteil 11 zufolge der Federwirkung des Pumpenbalges 9 zurück in Richtung seiner Ausgangsstellung gemäß Fig. 1. Ein solcher Zustand ist in Fig. 3 dargestellt Hierbei ist auf Grund der Kopplung des Domes 35 mit dem Aufnahmeteil 19 ein Zurückschleppen des Pumpkammeroberteils in die Ausgangsstellung gemäß Fig. 1 verbunden. Der Rückhub ist begrenzt durch ein Anschlagen des Pumpkammeroberteils 17 bzw. des Kolbenteils 18, konkret des Kolbenabschnittes 21, an dem Überfangvorsprung 7 bzw. der auf das Spenderoberteil 11 wirkenden Hubbegrenzung durch den Vorsprung 13.When the actuation pressure is taken from the dispenser head part 11, the dispenser head part 11 moves back according to the spring action of the pump bellows 9 in the direction of its initial position according to Fig. 1 , Such a condition is in Fig. 3 In this case, due to the coupling of the dome 35 with the receiving part 19, a drag back of the pump chamber upper part in the starting position according to Fig. 1 connected. The return stroke is limited by abutment of the pump chamber upper part 17 or of the piston part 18, specifically of the piston portion 21, on the overlapping projection 7 or the stroke limit acting on the dispenser top 11 by the projection 13.
