Definitions

  • the invention relates to a dispenser with the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention is concerned with the task of specifying a reliable working donor.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the actuating part may be a dispenser head part.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • a return spring in the form of a bellows 9 is arranged on the outside of the pump chamber lower part.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • a dispensing tube 14 is formed which terminates in a dispensing mouth 15. This is directed to the side.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • an inlet valve 22 is further arranged, which is latched by a holding part 23 in the dispenser head lower part 4.
  • Both the inlet valve 22, as well as the outlet valve 20 are made of a soft plastic.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • valve disk 31 is sealingly connected to the receiving part 19 by means of an upper edge 33.
  • valve stem 34 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.
  • a downwardly directed mandrel 35 is further formed on the inside, which is aligned axially with the valve stem 34.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the dispenser head part 11 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.
