Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Spender für Seife, Schaumseife, oder dergleichen, mit einem Spendergehäuse, mit einer an der Unterseite des Spendergehäuses angeordneten Austrittsöffnung für die Seifenabgabe, und mit einem beleuchtbaren Ring als Positionierhilfe für die Hand.The invention relates to a dispenser for soap, foam soap, or the like, with a dispenser housing, with a disposed on the underside of the dispenser housing outlet opening for the soap dispensing, and with an illuminated ring as a positioning aid for the hand.

Ein derartiger Spender nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 ist beispielsweise in der US 5,255,822 beschrieben. Diese zeigt einen Seifenspender, dessen Gehäuse unten eine zylindrische, nach vorne offene Kammer aufweist, in die die zu waschende Hand eingeführt werden kann. Diese wird von einem Infrarotsensor erkannt, und durch eine motorisch betriebene Pumpe wird eine Portion Seife in die sich unter der Austrittsdüse befindliche Hand abgegeben. Die zylindrische Kammer ist aus einem transparenten lichtleitenden Material und deren Boden wird von hinten beleuchtet, wodurch der vorderseitige Rand der Einführöffnung für die Hand als beleuchteter Ring erscheint. In der Kammer ist auch eine Tropfschale angeordnet, um nachtropfende Seife aufzufangen.Such a dispenser according to the preamble of claim 1 is for example in the US 5,255,822 described. This shows a soap dispenser, the housing has at the bottom a cylindrical, open-front chamber into which the hand to be washed can be inserted. This is detected by an infrared sensor, and a motor-driven pump dispenses a serving of soap into the hand below the outlet nozzle. The cylindrical chamber is made of a transparent photoconductive material and its bottom is illuminated from behind, whereby the front edge of the insertion opening for the hand appears as an illuminated ring. The chamber also has a drip tray to catch dripping soap.

Aus der DE 20 2006 004 399 ist eine Fluidarmatur mit Farbgebungseinrichtung bekannt. Die Armatur ist zur Abgabe verschiedener Fluide (Desinfektionsmittel, Seife, Wasser) an einem Waschbecken montiert. Vorratsbehälter für das Desinfektionsmittel, und die Seife, der Wasseranschluss sowie eine Steuerungseinheit sind unter dem Waschbecken angeordnet. Die Armatur hat einen nach unten gerichteten Auslauf, dem mehrere verschiedenfarbige Leuchtelemente zugeordnet sind. Mittels diesen wird dem Benutzer optisch zusätzlich mitgeteilt, welches Fluid gerade durch den Auslauf abgegeben wird. Die genaue Stelle der Anordnung der Leuchtelemente kann unterschiedlich sein, beispielsweise am Auslaufrohr außen, um den Fluidstrahl von außen zu beleuchten, bzw. innerhalb des Auslaufrohres, um den Fluidstrahl von innen zu beleuchten. Eine ringförmige Anordnung rund um die Auslausöffnung ist nicht gezeigt.From the DE 20 2006 004 399 is a fluid fitting with coloring device known. The faucet is mounted on a sink for dispensing various fluids (disinfectant, soap, water). Storage container for the disinfectant, and the soap, the water connection and a control unit are arranged under the sink. The fitting has a downwardly directed outlet, which are assigned to several different colored lighting elements. By means of this, the user is additionally informed optically, which fluid is being dispensed through the outlet. The exact location of the arrangement of the lighting elements may be different, for example, on the outside of the outlet pipe to illuminate the fluid jet from the outside, or within the outlet pipe to illuminate the fluid jet from the inside. An annular arrangement around the exhaust port is not shown.

Zur Materialeinsparung und zur Erzielung einer niederen Bauhöhe schlägt nun die Erfindung bei einem Spender der eingangs genannten Art vor, dass die Austrittsöffnung an der Unterseite des Spendergehäuses nahe dem vorderen Rand vorgesehen ist, und der beleuchtbare Ring am Rand der Gehäuseunterseite rund um die Austrittsöffnung angeordnet ist, sodass die Beleuchtung auch von oben schräg erkennbar ist. Der Ring ist bevorzugt auch als Betriebszustandsanzeige bzw. als Anzeige für fällige Servicemaßnahmen einsetzbar. Für diese bevorzugte Anwendung kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Ring in zumindest zwei unterschiedlichen Farben beleuchtbar ist.To save material and to achieve a low overall height, the invention proposes now in a dispenser of the type mentioned that the outlet opening at the bottom of the dispenser housing near the front edge is provided, and the illuminable ring is arranged at the edge of the housing bottom around the outlet opening, so that the illumination is also obliquely recognizable from above. The ring can also be used as an operating status display or as an indication of service measures due. For this preferred application it can be provided that the ring can be illuminated in at least two different colors.

Nachstehend wird nun die Erfindung an Hand der Figur der beiliegenden Zeichnung näher beschrieben, ohne darauf beschränkt zu sein. Diese zeigt eine Ansicht eines Spenders schräg von unten. Der Spender weist ein meist längliches Gehäuse 1 für eine hängende Montage nahe einem Waschtisch oder dergleichen auf, an dessen Unterseite nahe dem vorderen Rand eine Austrittsöffnung 2 vorgesehen ist, durch die eine Portion Seife, Seifenschaum oder dergleichen abgegeben werden kann. Die Bedienung kann in beliebiger Weise erfolgen, es ist für die Erfindung unwesentlich, ob sie berührungslos durch Annäherung der Hand an einen Sensor oder durch Betätigung eines Hebels, Druckknopfs oder dergleichen erfolgt. Die Austrittsöffnung 2 ist von einem beleuchtbaren Ring 3 umgeben, der die Positionierung der Hand erleichtert, da sie aus der üblichen Position und Haltung eines Benützers nicht direkt gesehen werden kann. Der Ring 3 ist daher am Rand der Gehäuseunterseite angeordnet, sodass die Beleuchtung auch von schräg oben erkennbar ist.Hereinafter, the invention will be described in more detail with reference to the figure of the accompanying drawings, without being limited thereto. This shows a view of a donor obliquely from below. The dispenser has a generally elongated housing 1 for hanging mounting near a vanity or the like, on the underside of which near the front edge an outlet opening 2 is provided through which a serving of soap, soap foam or the like can be dispensed. The operation can be done in any way, it is immaterial to the invention, whether it is done without contact by approaching the hand to a sensor or by operating a lever, push button or the like. The outlet opening 2 is surrounded by an illuminable ring 3, which facilitates the positioning of the hand, since it can not be seen directly from the usual position and attitude of a user. The ring 3 is therefore arranged on the edge of the housing bottom, so that the illumination is also visible from diagonally above.

Der Ring kann in zumindest zwei unterschiedlichen Farben beleuchtbar sein und damit eine Betriebszustandsanzeige (beispielsweise grün) oder eine Anzeige für Servicemaßnahmen (beispielsweise rot) wie zum Beispiel das Erfordernis einer Nachfüllung, bzw. eines Batterientausches bilden.The ring may be illuminable in at least two different colors and thus form an operating status indicator (eg, green) or a service action indicator (eg, red) such as the need for refill or battery replacement.
