Definitions

  • the invention relates to a stick-shaped device for applying a liquid to a surface with a liquid receiving container and a container associated with the applicator gun, on the outside on the side facing away from the container, a liquid-permeable applicator body is coaxially attached, the liquid is supplied from the container ,
  • the object of the invention is to improve a device of the type mentioned so that with a small volume storage for the application liquid, the device by hand is easily and safely palpable. Moreover, it is an object of the invention to increase the functional reliability and handling accuracy with a simple design and manufacture.
  • the outer diameter of the container is 1/3 to 2/3 of the outer diameter of the applicator head and that the container protrudes outwardly uncovered coaxial with the applicator head.
  • the outer diameter of the container is 1/3 to 2/3 of the outer diameter of the applicator head and that the container is surrounded on the outside by a cup-shaped cover coaxial whose outer diameter is equal to or less than the outer diameter of the applicator head, wherein there is an empty annulus between the container and the cap as a free space.
  • the device can thus also contain small amounts of an active ingredient and is still handy.
  • the shape of the container is independent of the shape of the cap and thus can be arbitrary and thus easy and inexpensive to manufacture. But even the outer shape of the cap can be independent of the shape of the container, so that the outside of the cap can be designed arbitrarily. Thus, the outer shape of the cap can be designed so that it is adapted to the type of application liquid, so that it is already apparent from the outside, which application liquid releases the device. So z. B. the level of concentration of the active ingredient can be detected by the shape and / or color of the cap.
  • the liquid is disinfectant for application to the skin of a human or animal. It is also suggested that the container extends within the cap over most of the cap interior.
  • the cap Since the shape of the cap does not have to depend on the size and shape of the container, the cap can be a round, oval, triangular or have square-shaped cross-section with rounded longitudinal edges and in particular convex sides.
  • a further advantageous outer design of the cap is given when the cap tapers with increasing distance from the applicator head.
  • the cap is not only shapely, but also good to grab by hand.
  • the cap has grip recesses on the outside.
  • the application body is formed by a sponge, a non-woven fabric or a brush.
  • the applicator head has two relatively rotatable coaxial disc parts, each having a passageway for the liquid form and the passageway of the first disc part is closed by a closure, in particular a membrane and the second disc part has an opening part, in particular a cutting edge, through which the closure is in particular to open the membrane, wherein the two disc parts are connected to each other by a thread and mating thread, through which the disk parts approach each other during relative rotation.
  • a closure in particular a membrane
  • the second disc part has an opening part, in particular a cutting edge, through which the closure is in particular to open the membrane, wherein the two disc parts are connected to each other by a thread and mating thread, through which the disk parts approach each other during relative rotation.
  • the first disc part forms the top of the container. It is also advantageous if, after the rotation and the opening of the closure, in particular the membrane, the two Disc parts are locked together inseparably. This ensures that after opening the first time, the passageway is not accidentally closed again.
  • the actuation of the first-time opening is facilitated if the rotatable disk part has a grippy annular outer side. It is also proposed that the permissible direction of rotation for opening the closure is displayed on the outside of the rotatable disk part, so that the type of handling is easily recognizable to the user.
  • a metering valve be arranged as a surge brake within the application head in the through-channel.
  • the metering valve may be formed by a coaxial insert part, which has a metering part, which partially closes the through-channel and opposes a resistance to the liquid flow. It is also advantageous if the metering part is movable by an increasing fluid flow in a direction in which the metering valve is opened further.
  • the applicator body has a triangular shape with rounded corners and in particular convex sides in a cross section to which the device longitudinal axis is perpendicular.
  • the pen-shaped applicator for liquids has an applicator head 1, which is designed cup-shaped, with a circular flat disc part 2, at the front of a job body 3 is fixed and a central coaxial through-channel 4 bridged in the applicator head 1.
  • the disk-shaped, circular applicator body 3 has a constant thickness D and consists of an open-pore sponge, a non-woven fabric or a brush to distribute the emerging from the channel 4 liquid over its width and deliver its front when the applicator body 3 with its front pressed on a surface and painted over it.
  • a coaxial pipe socket 5 is formed, which forms the passageway 4.
  • the nozzle 5 forms cutting elements 6 in order to be able to cut a membrane 7 of the container when it is rotated relative to a container 8.
  • a coaxial cylindrical wall 11 is formed on the outer edge of the disc part 2, whose size H is about twice as large as the height of the sleeve 10 and the neck of the fifth
  • the application body 3 is covered by a protective cap 12 which partially overlaps the wall 11 and forms a protected space in which the applicator body 3 lies.
  • the container 8 has an originally cylindrical outer wall, the lower edge 14 is compressed to form a straight band and thus closed. At the top, the applicator head 1 end facing the container 8 is closed by a circular end wall 15 which is disc-shaped with its circular outer edge coaxial rests in the applicator head 1 and is fixed on the inside of the wall 11.
  • the wall 15 forms a coaxial nozzle 17 which faces the applicator body 3 and which engages sealingly in the bushing 10 with an externally projecting annular region 18.
  • the nozzle 17 is closed by the membrane 7, which has an annular coaxial thin point 19.
  • the applicator body 3 facing annular end of the nozzle 17 is sealingly against the outside of the sealing ring 9.
  • the wall 11 of the applicator head 1 forms on the outside a handle ring 20 which can be detected by hand and by the applicator head 1 relative to the container 8 and its wall 15 is rotatable.
  • the outer edge of the wall 15 moves in an internal thread of the wall 11, so that by the rotational movement of the handle ring 20 and the wall 11 relative to the container 8 and the wall 15 of the applicator head 1 moves axially relative to the wall 15 and thus the cutting element.
  • 6 presses on the membrane 7 to open the membrane and thus the nozzle 17. After opening the nozzle 17 remains sealingly in contact with the sealing ring 9, so that the passage 4 is sealingly connected to the passage 20 of the nozzle 17 and the liquid from the container 8 can penetrate into the applicator body 3, without being able to escape laterally.
  • a cap 22 is arranged coaxially and secured with its upper edge 23 on the inside of the wall 11, wherein the upper edge 23 between the wall and a lower, on the outside of the wall 15 projecting annular integrally formed edge 24 rests.
  • the cap 22 against the wall 15 and the container 8 is non-rotatable and rotatable relative to the wall 11 of the applicator head 1, so that by an external grasping the cap 22 of the container 8 can be held while the applicator head 1 rotates about the handle ring 20 becomes.
  • the cap 22 surrounds the container 8 so far that between the container and cap, there is a free space 25 which is sealed to the outside so far that a pressure on the outside of the cap increases the pressure within the container 8.
  • the outer diameter A1 of the container 8 is in this case one third to two thirds of the outer diameter A2 of the applicator head or the cap 22, when the applicator head and cap have approximately the same outer diameter.
  • the container 8 extends within the cap 22 over the greater part in its length and the cap 22 may have a round, oval, triangular or quadrangular cross section with rounded longitudinal edges and in particular convex sides.
  • the cap 22 may have a variety of shapes and in one embodiment, the cap tapers with increasing distance from the applicator head. So that the cap 22 can be gripped particularly easily, it has in one embodiment outside recessed grips. In the same way, the handle ring 20 may have outside recessed grids or corrugations or strung areas. So that the user knows in which direction he should turn the handle ring 20, arrows are mounted on this outside, indicating the direction of rotation.
  • a metering valve 26 is mounted within the applicator head in the passage 4, which has a coaxial insertion part 27 which partially closes the passageway 4 to set a resistance to the liquid flow and thus serve as a surge brake.
  • the metering part by a increasing fluid flow to be movable in a direction in which the metering valve is opened further.
  • the insert part 27 has wing-shaped parts 28, which form the resistance for the liquid and are limited by the liquid are bendable in order to achieve a further opening of the metering valve.
  • the applicator body 3 can also have another shape, in particular a triangular shape or an arrow shape, in order to be able to apply the application agent, which is preferably disinfectant, particularly precisely to the skin of a human or an animal.
  • the application agent which is preferably disinfectant, particularly precisely to the skin of a human or an animal.
  • the in the 6 and 7 illustrated third embodiment differs from the previously described in that the container 8 is not covered on the outside by a cap and thus is freely visible. Furthermore, in all embodiments, the protective cap 12 may be missing.
