Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a metering device for attachment to a container, which has a bottom and a container neck formed above a container shoulder on which a closure with Aufgusstülle can be placed, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such dosing devices are also required in particular for adhesives, cyanoacrylates superglue or anaerobic adhesives and sealants. These are offered in bottle-shaped container, all of these adhesives and sealants are dispensed dosed only in very small quantities and, accordingly, the containers, namely plastic bottles, are relatively small. For metered delivery from a corresponding spout, the container must be easily squeezed. Especially adhesives and sealants are often viscous or low viscous and therefore do not flow out by themselves. At the same time, however, certain adhesives must be stored in such a way that practically no access of oxygen can take place. This requires that the plastic bottles must be made of HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) and this material is correspondingly hard. This complicates the dosage by pressure on the container.
  • HDPE High Density Polyethylene
  • the container in order to still allow a reasonable dosable adhesive delivery, the container must be provided with a metering device.
  • a much cheaper variant shows the WO-2004/013009-A ,
  • a simple, inexpensive metering device is shown by means of which a dropwise delivery of a liquid can be achieved.
  • the document shows a variety of embodiments, but here is only one embodiment of importance, in which a loop-shaped, parallel to the bottle longitudinal axis aligned plastic loop is proposed, in which the container neck is passed through this loop.
  • the loop is separated in the bottom area of the bottle and is here at the bottom of the bottle, then runs the shell wall fitting up to the neck, runs on the container shoulder overlying the bottle and then runs on the diametrically opposite bottle wall area in a certain molded kink downward.
  • closure 3 is adapted to the purpose in order to be able to dose the smallest possible quantity delivery correctly. Accordingly, the closure 3 is designed opening in a dispensing spout. Again, since the configuration of the closure for the invention is not essential, but can be optimized only for the use of adhesive delivery, therefore, is not discussed here on the exact configuration of the closure 3.
  • the metering device 1 consists essentially of two parts, namely on the one hand a container adapted to the ring 10 and a ring 10 connected to the lever 11, the extends from the ring 10 in the direction of the container neck 23 and, as in the Figures 1-3 shown, may be integrally connected to the ring 10.
  • the ring 10 may in principle be relatively thick-walled and also have a different shape from the round shape, if the bottom of the container 2 has a different shape from the round shape.
  • the ring 10 must be designed so that it can be plugged onto the container 2, in particular in the region of its bottom 20, onto the container.
  • the container 2 has an oval bottom, so of course, the ring 10 must have a correspondingly oval shape.
  • the container 2 is circular cylindrical and, accordingly, the ring is circular cylindrical.
  • the container 2 Since in the selected embodiment, the container 2 has practically the shape of a pin and thus the bottom 20 would form only a relatively small footprint, the ring 10 is designed double-walled here, the inner ring wall 12 directly form and locks in the region of the bottom of the container 2 surrounds.
  • the outer ring wall 13 can Of course also curly designed to run outward.
  • the lever 11 is integrally formed on the outer annular wall 13.
  • the outer ring wall 13 has in the region from above to relatively close to the lower edge of the side of the lever 11 on both sides lateral recesses 14. This allows the lever 11 to pivot over a certain deformation of the outer ring wall 13. This pivoting is increased by directly on the ring 13, a spring plate 15 is formed, which merges directly into the lever 11.
  • the spring plate 15 extends from the connection point 16 approximately parallel to a tangential plane of the jacket wall up to a first kink 17.
  • 3 elevated stiffening ribs 18 are provided in the region of the kink.
  • the two outer stiffening ribs 18 extend in alignment with the circumferential side wall 19 of the lever 11.
  • the side wall 19 extends over the entire length of the lever 11 on its sides and front end sides along.
  • the lever 11 is thus provided with a directed towards the container 2 circumferential wall, which serves to stiffen the lever.
  • the stiffening of the lever is thus, with the exception of the spring plate, everywhere present so that the lever 11 is rigid in itself, with the exception of the area which belongs to the spring plate 15.
  • the lever 11 is also provided with a handle extension 110 which rests on the jacket wall 21 of the container 2.
  • the pusher extension 110 may, in principle, be mounted anywhere on the lever 11, but this is preferably arranged approximately in the middle between the attachment point 16 and the lever end 111.
  • the presser extension 110 is formed in the example shown here on a central reinforcing rib 112, which is integrally formed between the peripheral jacket walls 19 on the lever bottom side. While the elevated stiffening ribs 18 point away from the shell wall of the container, at least the one middle stiffening rib 112 extends on the underside of the lever and is directed towards the container 2.
  • the container 2 is provided in the area near the floor with a recess 24, which here has the shape of a circumferential constriction.
  • spring tongues 113 engage, which makes it impossible to remove the metering device 1 from the container 2.
  • stiffening ribs 18 and 112 extend in planes that are parallel to the longitudinal axis of the container.
  • the stiffening ribs can be arbitrarily long in principle, but they should advantageously not extend beyond the center of the spring plate 15 away, so that the spring plate 15 is not completely stiffened, but has a range which is able to serve the intended deformation. This deformable area actually forms a hinge-free joint.
  • the metering device 1 can be realized extremely inexpensively and can thus be designed as a disposable element which is delivered directly from the factory to the container. It is of course quite desirable that this disposable dosing device is not abused for other purposes.
  • the jacket wall 21 of the container 2 can be provided with an annular bead 25 which makes it impossible to remove the metering device in the direction of the container neck.
  • the containers 2 are usually blown from plastic and these blown containers have certain tolerances with respect to the diameter, it may be useful to the ring 10 and in particular if the ring 10 is designed double-walled, the inner annular wall 12 with arranged at regular intervals bulges 124 provided that allow a certain elastic deformation of the ring and at the same time makes room for the deformed shell wall 21 in the ground-near region 20. If such bulges 124 are provided, it is also preferable to arrange the interlocking means 113, which are usually designed as spring tongues, in these bulges 124.
