Definitions

  • the invention relates to a discharge device for preferably liquid media with a housing, with an actuating handle, which is relatively movable relative to the housing, and with a conveyor, which is designed, in response to movement of the actuating handle relative to the housing medium through a discharge opening through to the outside.
  • a locking device is provided, by means of which the relative mobility of the actuating handle relative to the housing can be limited.
  • Discharge devices for media in particular for liquid media, are well known both for pharmaceutical and for cosmetic purposes. See also US 2006/138176 as nightly state of the art.
  • the discharge devices are usually such that they are directly provided with a reservoir for the medium from which the medium is discharged when the actuating handle is manually displaced, for example, is pushed down.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a particularly advantageous locking device, which offers a flexible design and / or combines a convenient handling with low production costs.
  • a generic discharge device whose locking device comprises the following components.
  • the locking device has at least one pawl which is movable along a defined pawl direction between a release position in which it does not obstruct the movement of the actuating handle, and a blocking position in which it limits the movement of the actuating handle relative to the housing.
  • a locking handle which is movable in response to a manual application of force along a defined locking handle direction different from the pawl direction.
  • At least one push member is provided for coupling the locking handle and the pawl, wherein this push member is hinged to the locking handle on the one hand and on the pawl on the other hand, so that a force applied to the locking handle, the pawl from the locked position to the release position and / or from the release position in the Locked position transferred.
  • the pawl is to be understood as meaning a component which interacts with the actuating handle in the blocking position such that it blocks the path of the actuating handle to be treaded during the actuation.
  • the locking handle is a relative one to the housing movable component, which can be indirectly acted upon indirectly by a flexible protective cover or directly by an operator force. This application of force is transmitted to the pawl by means of the push member.
  • the direction of movement, which is designed for the locking handle differs from the direction of movement, which is designed for the pawl, so that a flexible arrangement of the locking handle can be realized even with a predetermined position and / or direction of movement of the pawl.
  • the movement paths of the pawl under the locking handle are each rectilinear movement paths whose directions enclose an angle of more than 45 °, preferably of 90 °.
  • both the direction of movement of the pawl and the locking handle are aligned orthogonal to the actuating direction of the actuating handle.
  • the pawl is arranged such that it is manually kraftbeaufschlagbar, which can be transferred from the blocking position into the release position and / or from the release position into the locked position by a force applied to the pawl.
  • the pawl itself is an additional locking handle. It is either directly or indirectly by a flexible protective cover through kraftbeaufschlagbar.
  • pawls are provided which are connected via a respective thrust member with the locking handle, wherein the pawls are preferably designed for movement in opposite directions.
  • the application of force to the locking handle via two different thrust members leads to a displacement of two different pawls that move independently and preferably in different, in particular in opposite, directions. This allows the achievement of a particularly secure blocking state, as this can be done for example on opposite sides of the actuating handle blocking.
  • two locking handles are provided, both via a respective thrust member with the pawl are connected, wherein the locking handles are preferably designed for movement in opposite directions.
  • the pawl is subjected to force simultaneously by two push members, which are each connected to a locking handle.
  • the design with two, preferably oppositely arranged, locking handles allows a particularly convenient operation, since the two locking handles can be pressed towards each other with thumb and forefinger to transfer the pawl in the release position or the locked position.
  • a design in which both two locking handles and two pawls are provided, wherein between each locking handle and each pawl is provided in each case a push member.
  • Such a design combines the advantages mentioned above, which can be adjusted with two locking handles and two pawls. Furthermore, a particularly good management of the locking handles and pawls is achieved, since these are each connected via two push links with the other locking handles / pawls.
  • all four push members have an identical length, so that they together form a rhombus whose vertices are formed by the pawls and locking handles. It is particularly preferred if the medium for the purpose of the discharge is passed through a channel which is arranged within the rectangle formed by the thrust members. With such a design, the locking device takes up little additional space, so that very compact discharge devices are possible.
  • the pawl and / or the locking handle are guided in guides.
  • These guides can be formed in the simplest case as simple grooves in which on the pawl or locking handle molded sliding blocks are movable.
  • the guides give the direction of movement of the pawl or
  • Locking handle before.
  • the guide tracks or grooves are preferably provided fixed to the housing.
  • a locking member or a locking handle which is connected by two push members with two locking handles or locking members, can also be dispensed with a guide, since already ensure the two push members sufficient guidance.
  • connection of the pawl or the locking handle with the thrust member may be provided that the thrust member forms a separate component, which ensures the relative movement between the locking handle / pawl and the pusher member by a hinge with a pin and a corresponding recess.
  • a cost-effective alternative to the design with multi-part joints it represents when a one-piece, deformable component is provided, which comprises a plurality of push members and / or one push member or more push members on the one hand and a locking handle and / or a pawl on the other.
  • a one-piece, deformable component which comprises a plurality of push members and / or one push member or more push members on the one hand and a locking handle and / or a pawl on the other.
  • four together forming a diamond push members may be provided as an integral component, which is deformed in the course of the transfer of the locking device in the locked state or in the release state in the region of the corners.
  • the one-piece part in the intended intended for deformation areas for example in the corner regions of a one-piece diamond, tapers, for example in the form of film hinges.
  • a special design of the discharge device provides that the locking member permanently subjected to force in the direction of its blocking position is, for example, by a spring force. With such a design, the blocking state thus automatically sets when a manual application of force to the locking handle is not present. This prevents that after using the discharge is forgotten to convert them back into their locked state.
  • the locking device is formed bistable, so that without manual application of force the locking member remains in the blocking position or the release position. In such a configuration, there is thus no automatic transfer of the locking member in its blocking position. Instead, the condition achieved by manual application of force is maintained.
  • the whereabouts of the locking member in the release position or the blocking position is realized in the simplest case by static friction, for example in the region of a guide track or guide groove.
  • an additional holding means is preferably provided, which is designed such that it requires in the meantime an increased manual application of force when transferring the pawl into the release position or the blocking position.
  • a holding means such as a cam
  • said cam which is preferably provided elastically deflectable on the housing and engages in the locking position of the locking member in a locking member associated with the recess.
  • the locking means between the actuating handle and the housing is arranged, wherein between the housing and the actuating handle a flexible and preferably annular protective surface is provided which shields the barrier device at least in sections to the outside.
  • This protective surface protects the locking device and prevents objects that can penetrate the locking device, which could interfere with proper functioning.
  • the force required to achieve the release state and the lock state manual loading of the locking handle and possibly the pawl is carried out in such an embodiment by the flexible outer surface, preferably on the outer surface markings are provided which illustrate the position pawls and / or the locking handle.
  • the Fig. 1a and 1b illustrate the structure of the discharge.
  • the discharge device 10 has a housing 12 into which a pump dispenser 14 with a pumping device 16 is inserted.
  • the pumping device 16 is designed such that it can be actuated by pushing down a nozzle 18 and, in response, delivers medium out of a reservoir of the pump dispenser 14 through the nozzle 18 to the outside.
  • Attached to the nozzle 18 is an actuating handle 20, which comprises an outlet channel 22, through which the medium is passed on to the exit opening 24 from the nozzle 18.
  • a flexible annular wall 26 is provided, whose lower end is fixed to the housing 12 and whose upper end is attached to the actuating handle 20. This annular wall 26 protects a locking device 30, which is arranged between the housing 12 and the actuating handle 20.
  • the locking device 30 is particularly based on the Fig. 1b clearly visible.
  • the locking device 30 has two locking handles 40, which are arranged opposite one another on the sides of the discharge device within the flexible annular wall 26. Offset by 90 ° to these locking handle 40, two pawls 50 are provided, which are also arranged in the edge region of the discharge protected by the flexible annular wall 26.
  • the locking handles 40 and the pawls 50 each have a radially extending guide pin 42, 52. These guide pins 42, 52 are provided in groove-like guides 44, 54, which are provided fixed to the housing.
  • All four locking handles 40 and pawls 50 are each movable only in the radial direction and straight.
  • a total of four push members 62 are provided, which together form a diamond 60.
  • the guide pins 42, 52 of the locking handles 40 and pawls 50 are integrally connected to the corner portions of this rhombus 60. As a result, an active coupling between the locking handle 40 and the pawls 50 is achieved. This active coupling is based on the Fig. 2a to 3b explained in more detail.
  • Fig. 2a and 2b show the locked state of the discharge.
  • Fig. 2a shows a view from above with remote actuating handle 20.
  • the pawls 50 are in an outer distal end position and are located on the annular wall 26 directly. Since due to this distal end position and the two pawls 50 associated corner points 64 of the rhombus 60 are maximally spaced, take the other two corner points 66 of the rhombus 60 their minimum spaced position.
  • the pawls 50 are pressed through the annular wall 26 toward each other in the direction of the arrows 2. Due to the active coupling via the rhombus 60, this causes the corner points 66 to be increasingly spaced apart in the direction of the arrows 4 and thus the locking handles 40 to be pushed away from one another.
  • the achievable state is in the Fig. 3a and 3b shown.
  • this release state now the locking handles 40 and the corner points 66 are maximally spaced apart, while the pawls 50 are in a proximal relative to the central axis of the device inner end position.
  • an operation can be carried out because the ribs 28 no longer come into contact with the pawls 50 displaced inwardly upon depression of the actuating handle 20.
  • the flexible annular wall 26 is compressed to allow the movement of the handle 20 in the direction of the housing 12.
  • the locking handles 40, the pawls 50, the guide pins 42, 52 and the diamond 60 with the four push members 62 form a one-piece plastic component, which is a particular low-priced and easy to install way of designing represents.
  • FIG. 4a and 4b an alternative embodiment is shown, which is only with regard to details of the embodiment of the Fig. 1 to 3 different.
  • This second embodiment is in Fig. 4a in the locked state and in Fig. 4b shown in the release state.
  • the retaining cam 55 lead to a stabilization in the locked state of Fig. 4a because a movement of the pawls 50 in the direction of the release state of Fig. 4b
  • a movement of the pawls 50 in the direction of the release state of Fig. 4b can be done only by a slight deflection of the side surfaces of the guide 54 through the guide pins 52.
  • This deflection is in Fig. 4b shown.
  • a similar stabilization of the state is achieved by the retaining cam 45 on the guide 44.
  • a movement of the locking handle 40 in the direction of the blocking position, ie in the direction 6 inwards, is only possible if sufficient force is applied to the side surfaces of the guide 44 together with the locking cams attached thereto 45 to deflect outward.
  • This deflected state of the retaining cam 45 is in Fig. 4a shown.
  • each offset by 90 ° further ribs are provided, which are less far from the nozzle 18. These further ribs cooperate with the locking handles 40 to the effect that in the locked state, in the Fig. 2a, 2b is shown, a blockage takes place both in the region of the pawls 50 and the locking handle 40.
  • Fig. 1a to 4b illustrated embodiments are characterized by the intended rhombus 60 by a particularly safe operation. In alternative embodiments, however, fewer than the four push members 62 may be provided, which together form the diamond 60.
  • the basic functionality in an embodiment with only one locking handle 40 and only one pawl 50, connected by a pusher member 62, accessible.
  • a middle way represents a design in which two pawls, but only one locking handle, or two locking handles, but only one pawl, are provided.
