Definitions

  • the invention relates to a discharge device for a preferably liquid or powdery medium according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Generic discharge devices are well known from the prior art. They serve, in particular, for dispensing pharmaceutical media which are present in liquid form in the media reservoir.
  • EP 1051262 B1 To prevent in a storage state in which a discharge of the medium is not yet intended to prevent unwanted discharge of the medium, it is from the EP 1051262 B1 known to provide a cap over the discharge opening.
  • the document EP 1051262 B1 discloses moreover that the cap can also be used at the same time to prevent unwanted actuation of the actuating handle.
  • the actuating handle is characterized compared to the housing only then movable when the protective cap has been removed.
  • a child-resistant discharge device with a housing on which a sliding block is provided in the region of a discharge opening.
  • the dispensing device has a cap which has a special shape for co-operating with the sliding block in order to aggravate the handling of children.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an alternative design available, with an unwanted operation, especially an operation by children playing, effectively prevented.
  • this protective cap is designed such that it covers the actuating handle in a manner against access from the outside, that a force application of the actuating handle in an actuating direction is not possible, as long as the cap was not removed.
  • the protective cap completely covers the actuating handle for this purpose.
  • only the actuating handle itself is preferably covered by the protective cover, without any further components, in particular the discharge opening, being covered with become.
  • the protective cover can thereby be made small and inexpensive. This design is particularly advantageous in discharge devices in which the actuating handle and the discharge opening are arranged on opposite sides of the discharge device. Another advantage is that existing concepts of discharge devices can be added to the protective covers according to the invention for the actuating handle particularly simple.
  • the protective cover is coupled in the storage state with the housing, wherein the housing in the context of this invention comprises all mutually stationary and relative to the discharge opening stationary parts of the discharge device.
  • the protective cover In the case of a protective cap on the actuating handle is ensured by the protective cover, that an unintentional actuation of the actuating handle is avoided. With an embodiment in which the protective cover is child-resistant coupled with the housing, it is also achieved that an operation is prevented by playing children. Only after removal of the protective cover, the actuating handle can be moved relative to the housing to effect a discharge process.
  • the latter is preferably designed such that no medium can pass through the discharge opening to an environment when the protective cap is attached. Even if, in a design with the protective cap on the discharge opening an operation, for example, by playing children, it is nevertheless ensured that the children do not get in contact with the medium.
  • the decoupling functional portion is part of the discharge device, but can be moved relative to the housing and the protective cover become.
  • the functional portion is formed, for example, as a separate component, which is supplied in a set with the discharge device.
  • the functional portion is such that it is firmly connected to a relative to the housing and the actuating handle separate further component of the discharge.
  • This function section is brought for the purpose of decoupling the protective cover from the housing in a designated position in which it causes the decoupling of the protective cover from the housing.
  • the functional section preferably serves for releasing a latching connection between the protective cover and the housing.
  • the use of the functional section is similar to using a key to open a lock. Such an embodiment is easy to handle for an adult patient, while children are overwhelmed mostly by the use of a function section acting as a key and therefore can not convert the discharge into a use state in which the actuating handle or the discharge opening are freely accessible the cover and the housing in the storage state is designed such that the decoupling is possible solely with the functional sections belonging to the discharge device and without additional tool not belonging to the discharge device.
  • the coupling device is preferably arranged inaccessible within the housing.
  • at least one first recess is provided on the housing, into which the functional portion for the purpose of decoupling can be inserted.
  • the arrangement of the coupling device at an inaccessible location within the housing an immediate decoupling of the coupling means is prevented without using the functional portion.
  • the coupling means are also protected from view, so that the operation is not immediately apparent. This makes it difficult for children without using the Functional section to transfer the discharge in a use state.
  • the coupling device is designed such that it can only be decoupled by the engagement of at least two functional sections, wherein at least two first recesses are provided in the housing into which the functional sections for the purpose of decoupling can be inserted.
  • these are preferably part of a one-piece, in particular one-piece, common component, so that the relative position of the functional sections relative to one another is thereby established. This makes it easier to use the intended intended function sections to transfer the discharge in a decoupled state, since the functional sections can be handled together.
  • the functional section or the functional sections are preferably designed as elongate elements, which in particular preferably have a length in the insertion direction into the corresponding recesses of at least 3 mm, so that the decoupling can not be achieved by fingernails or the like.
  • the first recess or the first recesses are formed such that a tool-free reaching the coupling device is not possible, wherein the first recess or the first recesses for this preferably have a free diameter of at most 6 mm.
  • the recesses may for this purpose have either one for fingers, especially children's fingers, unsuitable shape or unsuitable size. Particularly advantageous is a design in which the cross-sectional area of the first recess has a minimum free diameter of not more than 6 mm, in particular not more than 4 mm. These measurements prevent the fingers of children's hands from passing through the recesses. According to a particularly preferred shape of the recesses, these are slot-shaped and preferably have a slot width of less than 4 mm, in particular less than 3 mm.
  • the functional section or the functional sections are provided on a cap which covers the application opening or the actuating handle in the storage state of the discharge device.
  • the functional sections are thus provided on a cap covering the discharge opening.
  • the functional sections are provided on a cap covering the actuating handle.
  • the functional sections thus need not be supplied as separate components with the discharge device, but instead are provided on the said cap, in particular integrally formed. The intended use in this embodiment provides that the cap is removed from the discharge device and is again brought into operative connection with the discharge device in a different orientation predetermined by the corresponding recesses and / or the coupling device in order to decouple the coupling device.
  • the functional section or the functional sections are arranged in the storage state of the discharge in a second recess or second recesses of the housing. This leads, on the one hand, to the fact that the functional sections are not visible in an aesthetically advantageous manner even in the storage state, and, on the other hand, that the functional sections also have an advantageous effect in the storage state by securing the cap on the housing.
  • the functional sections each have a latching lug or latching edge, which cooperate with corresponding latching means on the housing in the fitted state of the cap, so that removal of the cap is made more difficult and / or unintentional falling off of the cap is prevented.
  • locking means represent a particularly simple form of a tool device not or hardly decoupled coupling device.
  • they are for example by appropriate bevels on the locking lugs particularly suitable to be decoupled by a translationally insertable function section.
  • the locking lugs are provided on the protective cover and cooperate in the storage state with a housing-fixed locking edge to achieve the coupled state.
  • FIGS. 1a to 1e show an embodiment 10 of a discharge device according to the invention in a transition from a storage state of FIG. 1a in a state of use of Figure 1e ,
  • the discharge device 10 is closed by a cap 70 and a protective cover 50.
  • the cap 70 covers a nasal olive 20 with a discharge opening 22.
  • the protective cover 50 covers an actuating handle 40.
  • both the actuating handle 40 and the outlet opening 22 are not accessible, so that it is prevented that children get to the stored in the discharge device 10 medium.
  • the protective cap 70 is removed.
  • two extensions 72 are provided at a lower edge of the cap 70, which are pulled out during removal from the housing-side recesses 24 and serve in the further course of the transfer function sections 72 for decoupling the protective cover 50.
  • These functional sections 72 wear in the storage condition of FIG. 1a fixing the cap 70 on the housing 12 at.
  • cap 70 as in FIG. 1b can be solved by simply pulling off the housing, the protective cover 50 is initially blocked by a locking mechanism still shown in the further and not detachable from the housing 12.
  • the cap 70 is placed after its separation from the housing 12 again on the housing 12, wherein this is done in a rotated state by 90 °, so that the functional portions 72 do not engage in their original recesses 24, but instead, in other 90 spaced from these recesses 24 other recesses 26th
  • FIG. 2 shows the structure of the discharge device described in a sectional view. It is an intermediate state between the phase of Figure 1c and the phase of Figure 1d shown, in which the decoupling of the protective cover 50 has not yet been achieved by the functional portions 72, but imminent.
  • the housing 12 next to the nose olive 20 has a finger rest 14 and a guide channel 16, wherein in the guide channel 16, a media storage 30 for the purpose of stipulateaustrags by means of the actuating handle 40 in the direction of the nose olive 26 is displaced.
  • the coupling of the protective cover 50 with the housing 12 is realized by locking lugs 52 on lugs of the protective cover 50, which are fixed to an inwardly facing housing-fixed stop ring 18 by Schuschnappung. It can be seen that a non-destructive release of the protective cover 50 due to this latching is not possible by simply removing the protective cover 50. Instead, the previously for Figure 1d described functional portions 72 pushed through the openings 26 in the region of the finger rest 14 until they come into contact with the detents 52 of the protective cover 50. Since these locking lugs 52 each have an inclined surface 52a, the functional extensions 72 can slide along these latching lugs 52, being bent inwards in the direction of the arrows 6. In this inwardly bent state, the locking lugs 52 are no longer in engagement with the retaining ring 18, so that a removal of the protective cover 50, as in Figure 1d , is possible.
  • the functionality of the cap 70 and the protective cover 50 is reversed.
  • the am Housing coupled protective cover is provided over the discharge opening in this alternative design.
  • the previously arranged over the actuating handle cap must be removed and rotated by 90 ° again in the direction of the actuating handle kraftbeetzschlagt so that arranged on the cap functional portions indent the corresponding recesses on the bottom and thereby the protective cover decouple from the housing over the discharge opening, so that it can be subsequently removed.
