Definitions

  • the invention relates to a dispenser for dispensing a product from a container reservoir, in particular from a pressure vessel.
  • a dispenser for example, viscous materials, in particular sealants and building materials such as silicone, or acrylic-containing compounds are issued.
  • viscous materials in particular sealants and building materials such as silicone, or acrylic-containing compounds are issued.
  • the output of these masses from a propellant contained and therefore pressurized container via the actuation of a Ventilmechanismusses.
  • a generic donor is in EP 1516 830 shown.
  • the DE 600 15 798 T2 discloses such a dispenser with a pressurized product chamber containing the viscous material.
  • a tilting valve is provided, to which a rotatable nozzle arrangement with a nozzle connects.
  • a lever pivotally attached to the product chamber acts on the nozzle assembly upon application of force by the user to open the tilt valve to dispense the viscous material.
  • the nozzle assembly can be rotated relative to its longitudinal axis and to the lever. In this case, a change of the bearing surface of the lever is achieved. This change optionally results in an open position of the dispenser where the force applied to the lever allows material to be dispensed through the valve. Or to a closed position, where no material issue is possible.
  • This system has many disadvantages. For example, only a choice between an open and a closed position of the nozzle assembly is possible. An adjustability of the product flow through the nozzle assembly is not provided. Another disadvantage is the complicated structure of the system and the associated high production costs. In addition, activation and deactivation of the system via a rotation of the nozzle assembly by 90 ° relative to the lever and the product chamber are possible. This is not easy to understand by a user, especially in a first-time application. Another major disadvantage is the lack of the possibility for one-handed operation of such a donor. The user must always guide the product chamber with one hand and rotate the nozzle assembly to activate the dispenser with the other hand so that full one-handed operation is excluded.
  • the nozzle belongs to the nozzle arrangement and thus to the triggering mechanism. Replacement of the nozzle or a cleaning is not provided. In addition, the user may injure himself by pinching the components such as the lever and the nozzle assembly, which are engaged with each other at work. Safe work can not be guaranteed with such a system.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide an improved dispenser, which eliminates the above-mentioned disadvantages and in particular ensures an improved adjustability of the product flow.
  • the basic idea of the invention is to use a dispenser for dispensing a product, comprising a container with a container axis, a valve, a nozzle connected to the valve via connecting means, an attachment, a lever with an engaging area for the user and an actuator a support portion providing an engagement point for the lever, the lever being pivotable about a fixed axis with respect to the attachment for actuation of the valve over the point of engagement, the actuator being rotatable relative to the lever, attachment and nozzle about the container axis in that the point of engagement for the lever is axially displaceable with respect to the container axis in order to change the effective lever travel for actuating the valve.
  • a substantially cylindrical container is used.
  • the valve is preferably arranged coaxially with the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical container on this and communicates with the cavity of the container.
  • the attachment is provided on the same side of the container as the valve and so firmly connected to the container, that an axial displacement of the attachment with respect to the longitudinal axis of the container is impossible.
  • the article has a storage possibility with a pivot axis about which the lever can be pivoted.
  • the lever is designed such that it has on one side of the attack area for the user and is pivotally mounted on the other side of the essay.
  • the valve between the bearing of the lever and the attack area is arranged on the container.
  • the user can exercise by pivoting the lever force on the valve and open this for dispensing the product from the container.
  • a support region is provided on the actuator, which provides points of attack for the lever for transmitting the force applied by the user.
  • the valve preferably has a radially projecting collar or similar transmission means so that the force applied by the user via the lever and the actuator can be transmitted to the valve.
  • the force applied by the user pushes the valve towards the container until it opens. In this way product mass can be dispensed from the container.
  • the effective lever travel is the way by which the lever moves the valve. If the lever travel is sufficient, the valve opens and the material in the container is exhausted.
  • the lever Due to the rotatable mounting of the actuator preferably with respect to the container axis and a correspondingly shaped support region, the lever is provided with a rotation of the actuator modified attack points available.
  • the support region is designed in such a way that the points of attack provided by the support region for the lever are displaced axially with respect to the container axis during a rotation of the actuator.
  • the actuator provided variable attack points on the support area.
  • Due to the fixed pivotal mounting of the lever on the attachment causes axial displacement of the attack points on the rotation of the actuator pivoting of the lever, whereby the effective lever travel for actuating the valve via the lever can be varied.
  • the lever used is preferably designed angled.
  • the attack region of the lever in the idle state in which no product output via the valve, preferably extend substantially parallel to the container axis.
  • the lever and / or the attack area are preferably against the outer wall of the container.
  • a force on the valve is preferably not exerted in this rest position.
  • the used for supporting area of the actuator is designed such that for the lever, a first rest position is provided, which corresponds to the above-described rest position of the lever.
  • the attack points of the lever can be axially offset with respect to the axis of the container in the direction of the latter.
  • This offset of the point of attack of the lever causes a tilting or pivoting of the lever about the pivotable mounting on the attachment. Due to the preferably angled design of the lever, the angle between the attack region of the lever and container outer wall is increased in this pivoting of the lever. So can be changed by rotation of the actuator relative to the essay of the angle between attack area and container outer wall.
  • the user can exert force on it, which leads to a movement of the attack area in the direction of the outer wall of the container. Due to the angled design of the lever described above, this results in a force of the lever on the attack points of the actuator on the valve and to press the valve towards the container.
  • the effective lever travel of the lever is the way the lever is able to push the valve towards the container. This is greater in the preferred design, the greater the angle between the attack area and the outer wall of the container.
  • the lever's adjustable attack points can disable the entire system by not providing enough effective lever travel to open the valve. An unintentional output of the product is avoided, for example.
  • the above-described arrangement of Abstütz Anlagenkeit on the opposite side of the attack area allows the user ergonomic handling. As a rule, such a dispenser is operated with one hand. This encloses the Use the dispenser by hand in the force grip so that the container is enclosed by the thumb and fingers. This handle ensures safe guidance of the dispenser during application of the product.
  • the output of the product is made either by the force of the fingers or the thumb on the attack area of the lever.
  • the rotation of the actuator relative to the attachment the user can very easily perform by means of one or more fingers of the same hand.
  • the one-handed operation The user is not only allowed to activate or deactivate the dispenser while guiding the dispenser in the power grip. Rather, it is also possible, for example, to regulate the volume flow during the dispensing of material via the adjustable points of attack via the actuator.
  • the user grips the system as described above activates the system via the actuator, exerts force on the attack area of the lever and thus applies the material. If the user needs an increased or reduced volume flow during the material application, he can regulate this by turning the actuator during the application process. An interruption of the job and an associated demolition of the product bead on the substrate are not necessary.
  • the possibility of one-hand operation ensures that the user can use his second hand for correction work or additional tools. It is also ensured that the user with his free hand, for example, on a ladder or scaffolding, as they are often found on construction sites, ensures that accidents at work can be avoided.
  • a further advantage is the use of an attachment connected to the container, which surrounds the portion of the valve projecting from the container in regions with a side wall, wherein openings in the side wall for the lever and / or for actuating the actuator are provided.
  • This side wall protects the valve and the moving parts and in particular the power transmission mechanism of the dispenser from external influences.
  • the user is prevented from being injured as a result of pinching, as the force-transmitting component areas that communicate with each other during work, such as the lever and the actuator as well as the valve, are covered by the side wall of the attachment.
  • the advantage here is the use of a cap, which can be connected to the essay. The cap provides further protection by covering the valve and transfer mechanism in addition to the side wall of the attachment.
  • the cap preferably has an opening through which, for example, a nozzle for dispensing the material with can be connected to the valve, can be passed through.
  • the side wall surrounds the valve such that only one opening is provided, through which the lever protrudes.
  • the user can exert force on the valve for dispensing the product from the container via the attack area of the lever protruding from the space enclosed by the side wall of the cap.
  • Another embodiment provides an additional opening in the side wall for actuating the actuator. It is also conceivable a similar opening through which only one actuator provided on the actuating means to support the rotation protrudes.
  • the opening is preferably provided in such a slot-shaped in the direction of rotation of the actuator in the side wall that a rotation is possible without any problem.
  • the user can be provided with a starting point and an end point from which one or up to which a rotation of the actuator is possible.
  • Another advantage is the use of locking points on the essay, which represent single rotary sections for the actuator.
  • the material to be dispensed adapted attack points on the support region, which are achieved at a certain angle of rotation of the actuator relative to the essay are provided. The user thus receives a dispenser that is easy to use since presets are provided by the detent points for possible product output quantities.
  • the supports on the attachment are preferably substantially parallel to the container axis away from the container.
  • two opposing supports are provided, wherein the lever is mounted between the supports.
  • the supports may have openings in which engage corresponding projections of the lever in order to ensure a pivotable mounting.
  • the supports have the lever facing projections which engage in openings on the lever.
  • the use of a separate axis, which runs through holes through the supports and the lever conceivable.
  • lever which surrounds the valve, wherein pressure areas are integrally formed on the lever to support the lever at the points of attack on the support area.
  • the molded and preferably projecting pressure areas allow a secure engagement of the lever at the points of attack and ensure a safe power transmission in the operation of the dispenser and in the output of the product.
  • the lever has an opening through which the valve is guided.
  • the pressure ranges can be on both sides of the valve be formed opposite. This ensures good power transmission of the lever to the valve.
  • Another advantage of using a lever with molded pressure areas is such a structure of the dispenser that the attack line, which extends through the points of attack of the pressure ranges of the lever at the support area, substantially parallel to the axis of rotation of the lever.
  • Such a structure prevents torsion of the lever upon application of force by the user in product dispensing.
  • a dispenser with higher strength and thus for safer and more reliable work is thus provided.
  • the part of the lever opposite the engagement area is supported via the rotatable mounting, for example on the supports of the attachment.
  • the force essentially acts away from the container. Due to the parallel course of the attack line to the axis of rotation both bearing points, for example, both supports of the essay with the same force applied. If the naval deviate, a bearing point of the lever would be more heavily loaded and destroyed, for example, due to material fatigue. This would result in irreparable damage and the donor's failure.
  • Another advantage is the use of an actuator having an opening through which the valve passes.
  • the actuator is designed such that it surrounds the valve.
  • valves are used which have a hollow-cylindrical outlet channel.
  • a circumferential collar protruding from the lateral surface is usually provided, via which force can be exerted on the valve for dispensing the product.
  • an actuator having an opening through which the valve passes is the equipment of the valve with connecting means for attaching, for example, a nozzle or other accessory to the valve for dispensing the product in the container, the opening of the valve Actuator is dimensioned such that the actuator is not engaged with the nozzle or the other auxiliary component.
  • Angled nozzles are used in many applications. If the user twisted the actuator engaged with the nozzle, the nozzle would twist to an unfavorable position for the user and the product application. By avoiding the engagement of the actuator and the nozzle, this is prevented. In addition, it is avoided that the actuator and the nozzle tilt, so that a rotation of the actuator or a replacement of the nozzle is impossible.
  • Another advantage is the use of an actuator with an opening, wherein with respect to the opening at least two opposite support areas are provided for the lever, which in Substantially part-circular arranged around the axis of rotation of the actuator. These support areas are preferably arranged in the vicinity of the opening through which the valve passes. This provides the lever with two opposing points of attack relative to the opening. A one-sided load of the actuator and consequently a unilateral force on the valve and a possible tilting or blocking of the components is prevented.

  • a Stellrampe 21 which divides the support portion 22 in different stages.
  • the user would thus be provided with a dispenser 1 which has predefined, preferably predetermined, product and / or nozzle geometry adjusted flow rates for product dispensing. These stages are available for certain effective lever paths of the lever 10 for actuating the valve 2 via the lever 10. It is conceivable here, for example, the use of two stages for a rest position and an activation position. This is particularly useful for laymen and beginners who would be overwhelmed with a regulation of the flow rate of the product.
  • the adjustment ramps 21 can be designed asymmetrically. This may mean, for example, that the support regions 22 of both adjustment ramps 21 are divided into steps, but the steps of the support region 22 of an adjustment ramp 21 are phased, the steps of the support region 22 of the second adjustment ramp 21 having sharp edges.
  • an actuator 20 with such adjustment ramps 21, a good sliding of the lever 10 over the individual phased stages of a support region 22 can be made possible.
  • the sharp-edged steps of the other support area 22 allow a secure fit of the lever 10 for a safe application of force via the lever 10 to the valve. 2
