  • Generic discharge devices are well known from the prior art. They are used in particular for the discharge of pharmaceutical and cosmetic liquids. These are usually conveyed by operating an actuating handle of the discharge by a user using the pumping device.
  • deodorant scooters on whose outlet side a ball is mounted, which is rotated by rolling on the skin of a user. She wears a liquid film from an interior of the deodorant roller to the outside, where it is discharged by rolling on the skin of the user.
  • the object of the invention is to develop a generic discharge device to the effect that this allows a particularly comfortable and reliable way of discharging a medium on a surface, in particular on a skin area of a user.
  • this is achieved by providing at least one roll-off member rotatably mounted about a roll-off axis of rotation on the housing of a discharge device which is at least partially freely accessible on an outer side of the housing and which is coupled to the pumping device via a coupling mechanism. a rotational movement of the unrolling element causes a movement of the first pumping member and thereby a medium delivery by means of the pumping device.
  • a generic discharge device is preferably designed as a mobile device to be guided with one hand. This is intended with the at least one rolling member against a medium to be provided with the surface, in particular a skin area pressed. Starting from this pressed starting position, the discharge device is moved while maintaining a sufficient pressing force transversely to the extension of the Abrollgliedmosachse on said surface or skin area, wherein it comes to unroll the Abrollgliedes on the surface. This will cause the pumping device operated, which promotes the medium from the medium reservoir to the outlet opening, so that this medium is then discharged on said surface.
  • the dispensing device according to the invention is particularly advantageous for the elderly and for people with physical disabilities, as it allows the medium to be deployed on any part of the body and without restriction as to the orientation of the dispensing device.
  • the outlet opening is preferably slightly set back from the maximum radius of the unwinding member, preferably by 2 mm or less, in particular between 1 mm and 2 mm. This ensures that even in an overhead position the medium reaches the area to be provided with the medium.
  • This distance of 1 mm to 2 mm is particularly advantageous in connection with a wide outlet opening, preferably with a width of at least 15 mm, since it allows a strip of a defined thickness and a defined width to be applied to the skin, not a subsequent one Manual distribution by the user requires more. This is very useful, for example, in the application of cold wax.
  • the rolling member is preferably formed as a wheel. However, it can also be designed as a rotatable about the Abrollglied rotation axis ball.

  • a volume-variable medium reservoir in particular a medium reservoir such as a tube or a bag with a shape-flexible wall which adapts to the decreasing volume of media, or a medium reservoir with a drag piston.
  • Such designs with volume-variable medium reservoirs are advantageous because they do not absorb air over their entire life cycle and thus there is no danger that the pumping device sucks air instead of the medium in unfavorable orientation of the discharge.
  • the pump device is designed such that it sucks the medium from the medium reservoir by means of negative pressure or sets the medium in the medium reservoir under overpressure, so that a medium discharge is ensured reliably and independently of the orientation of the discharge.
  • the pumping device may be designed such that it directly encompasses the medium reservoir. In such an embodiment, the medium reservoir is thus reduced in volume in the course of rolling the Abrollgliedes to promote the medium to the outlet.
  • a design is preferred in which the pump device is designed separately and is arranged between the medium reservoir on the one hand and the outlet opening on the other hand.
  • the pump device has, with the first pump member, at least one pump member, which is designed to be movable relative to the housing.

  • it indirectly conveys the medium, it being possible for example to design it as a sliding shoe of a peristaltic pump.
  • the first pump member is rotatably mounted relative to the housing.
  • a greater structural flexibility is achieved when the rotatable first pump member is rotatably mounted about an axis deviating from the Abrollglied axis of rotation, which may for example be arranged parallel to the Abrollglied axis of rotation.
  • Such a rotatably mounted first pump member may be formed, for example, as a screw conveyor or in particular as part of a peristaltic pump whose delivery hose is squeezed together by means of the first pump member to push the medium in the hose in the direction of the outlet opening.
  • the first pump member may in particular also be designed to be translationally movable relative to the housing and / or to a second pump member of the pump apparatus.
  • This allows the design of the pump device as a piston pump, wherein the first pump member in such a case is preferably fixedly connected to the piston of this piston pump or forms.
  • An embodiment of the pumping device as a bellows pump can also be realized by a first pumping element that is movable in translation.
  • the pump device with the first and the second pump member together as a whole about a first pivot axis pivotally mounted on the housing, wherein the first pump member is mounted on a abrollglied mineral stationary and eccentric to the Abrollglied axis of rotation pivot axis pivotally mounted on the rolling member.
  • the pump device which is preferably designed as a piston pump, is thus pivotally mounted in its entirety in the housing.
  • the first pumping member and the second pumping member form the cylinder and the piston of the pumping device.
  • the coupling mechanism between the unwinding member and the first pumping member can be achieved in such a case, for example via a pivotally mounted on the first pumping member and pivotally eccentrically mounted on the unwinding connecting rod intermediate member.

  • this structure can be designed simply, if the guide track of the slide guide is provided directly on the rolling member, so that the guide track rotates together with the rolling member to the Abrollglied rotation axis.
  • the extension which is attached to the pump member and therefore only linearly movable relative to the housing, is translationally displaced by the varying spacing of the guide track of the guide track rotation axis and thus causes the pumping operation of the pumping device.
  • a coupling mechanism with slide guide forces both the Hubals and the return stroke of the first pump member, so that a return spring, in particular a metallic return spring, can be omitted.
  • the guide track which is subject to varying degrees of deviation from the guide track rotational axis, can have an eccentric circular shape with respect to the guide track.
  • Advantageous may also be more complex designs, in which the distance of the guide track from the guide track rotational axis has a plurality of minima and maxima, in particular two or three minima and maxima, since this can cause a 360 ° rotational movement of the guide track two, three or more pump strokes causes a piston pump.
  • the pumping chamber of the pumping device may be followed by a homogenisation chamber which receives part of the medium, preferably 50%, of it during the pumping stroke of the pumping device and which discharges this stored medium through the outlet opening during the return stroke. Even so, a quasi-continuous promotion of the medium can be achieved.

  • an inventive attachment works similar to the prescribed discharge device according to the invention.
  • the attachment does not itself have a pumping device and a medium reservoir, but is instead designed to be placed on a discharge device known per se, which contains these components.
  • the coupling mechanism is therefore not adapted to directly connect the rolling member with a part of the pumping device, but acts on the actuating portion, which in turn moves the pumping device of the coupled discharge and rests for this purpose, for example on an operating handle provided for manual operation of the discharge.
  • the attachment according to the invention can be used to easily modify conventional dispensing devices to dispense the medium stored in response to the unwinding of the unwinding member.

  • Fig. 1 shows a discharge device according to the invention in an overall view.
  • This discharge device has a medium reservoir 10, to which an assembly 20 is coupled, which in the manner explained below comprises the components which are required for discharging the medium from the medium reservoir 10.
  • the assembly 20 has a housing, on whose front side an outlet opening 23 is provided for the medium.
  • rolling members 30 are provided in openings 21 of the housing, which are mounted rotatably about a common axis of rotation 1 on the housing.
  • a pump device within the housing is operatively coupled to the roll-off members 30 such that rotation of the roll-off members 30 about the roll-off member rotation axis 1 causes discharge of the medium through the outlet opening 23, regardless of the orientation of the discharge device.
  • a closure flap 22 is provided, which is attached by means of a film hinge on the housing.
  • the illustrated dispensing device is provided for applying media to the skin of a user. It may be both cosmetic and pharmaceutical media.
  • the discharge device is pressed with its open end flap on the skin of the user with open flap 22 and then moved in one of the illustrated by the arrows 2 directions, in which case unwind the rolling members 30 on the skin of the user and thereby cause the discharge process.
  • Fig. 2 shows the assembly 20 and the media storage 10 in an exploded view.
  • the housing of the assembly 20 comprises two housing components 24, 26, which are firmly connected to each other by means of connecting means 25. Together, the housing components 24, 26 define a receiving space 27 in which the components described below are arranged.
  • These arranged in the receiving space 27 components initially include the previously mentioned Abrollglieder 30, which are mounted by means of a shaft member 32 and a receiving bore 26a for the axle 32 on the upper housing member 26 so that they through the openings 21 in the housing part 26 therethrough for the intended use according to protrude outside.
  • components 41, 42, 43, 45, 46 of a pump device 40 are included, the pump cylinder of which is formed by a cylinder section 47 attached to the housing component 24.
  • the components 41, 42, 43 form the piston of the pump device 40.
  • the components 45, 46 and the cylinder portion 47 form the piston cylinder together with inlet valve.
  • the medium reservoir 10 is formed in two parts and has a tow piston 12 used.
  • the medium reservoir 10 is shown in dashed lines. It can be seen that this includes the drag piston 12, which is displaced in the direction of arrow 3 upwards.
  • the region 14 above the drag piston 12 is filled with the medium to be discharged. In the course of the suction of the medium by the pumping device 40, the amount of media in the region 14 is reduced, so that due to the tightness of this region against incoming air of the tow piston 12 in the direction of the arrow 3 moves upward.
  • the component 41 is hollow-cylindrical and has at its lower and at its upper end support portions 41 b, 41 c, which are displaceable in hollow cylindrical regions of the housing components 24, 26 along the pumping direction 4.
  • the formed as a piston core member 42 is inserted and latched from below, wherein the locking portion 42a is formed in a manner not shown so that despite the inserted piston core 42 medium can flow into the hollow cylindrical member 41.
  • piston sleeve 43 On the piston core 42 made of an elastic material piston sleeve 43 is pushed, which is compared to the composite of the piston core 42 and the component 41 slidably limited to form an exhaust valve on the outside is the piston sleeve 43 sealingly against the inner wall of the cylinder portion 47 and defines a cylindrical pumping chamber 44 upwards.
  • a homogenization chamber 49 is bounded by the upper end 41 b and the outlet opening 23. The purpose of this homogenization chamber is described below with reference to Fig. 5a to 5d still explained.
  • the lower end of the pumping device 40 is formed by an inlet opening 48, which is closed during a discharge operation of the valve ball 45, which is pressed by an elastically deflectable arm of the pressed-in the lower end of the cylinder portion 47 member 46 in its closed position.
  • the Fig. 5a shows an initial state in which the piston 41, 42, 43 is in its upper end position, since the projections 41 a engage at this time in the part of the guide track 30 a, which is the Abrollglied axis of rotation 1 closest.
  • the pumping chamber 44 is already filled with medium at this time, continued movement of the unwinding member 30 in the direction of Clockwise, indicated by arrow 5, to the fact that the piston 41, 42, 43 is pressed in the direction of arrow 4a down. Due to the depressed in the valve seat valve ball 45, the medium from the pumping chamber 44 can not escape down.
  • the application of pharmaceutical or cosmetic liquids on the skin of a user is very easy, since the user must carry the discharge only under slight contact pressure on the skin. This causes a pumping operation of the pumping device 40. Since the medium reservoir 10 is formed with a drag piston 12 and thus always medium is present at the inlet 48 of the pumping device 40, it is also not to be feared that only air is sucked in by the pumping device 40. It therefore does not depend on the correct orientation of the discharge when the medium.
  • Fig. 6a and 6b show an alternative design.
  • a conventional discharge device 150 is used, which is supplemented by an attachment 120 according to the invention.
  • the conventional discharge device 150 has a medium reservoir 152. Furthermore, it comprises an internal and not shown pumping device. It has an actuating portion 154 with an outlet tube 156. The pumping device, not shown, can be actuated by this actuating portion 154 is pressed together with the outlet tube 156 in the direction of the arrow 4a down.
  • the attachment 120 with two housing parts 124, 126 is snapped into a corresponding groove 158 of the discharge device 150 by means of a snap-action device 124a.
  • the coupled state is in the Fig. 6b shown.
  • an actuating portion 141 of the attachment 120 designed as a hollow body rests on the actuating region 154 of the discharge device 150 and in this case comprises its outlet tube 156.
  • the operating portion 141 is formed similar to the piston member 41 of the embodiment of Fig. 1 to 5 , In the same way as described there, it has extensions 141a, which engage in a guide groove 130a of two rolling members 130 of the attachment 120. A rolling of the rolling members 130 about the Abrollglied axis of rotation 1 thus results in the article 120 of the embodiment of Fig. 6a and 6b to a translational vertical displacement of the component 141, wherein thereby in the coupled state of the actuating portion 154 and the outlet tube 156 of the discharge 150 in a lifting movement be offset in the direction of arrow 4, which leads to a discharge process.
  • the medium discharged thereby through the outlet pipe 156 penetrates at the lower end 141 b into the hollow cylindrical member 142 and leaves it at its upper end 141 c, to be subsequently discharged via the outlet opening 123.
  • Fig. 7 shows an assembly 220, the alternative to the assembly 20 of the Fig. 1 to 5 Can be used. These are distinguished by the fact that instead of the piston pump device 40, a hose pumping device 240 is used.
  • This peristaltic pumping device 240 has a pumping wheel 241, around which a pump hose 244 is connected, which connects an inlet 248 of the peristaltic pumping device 240 to an outlet opening 223. On the side facing away from the pump wheel 241, the pump hose 244 bears against a circular support surface 245.
  • the pumping wheel 241 has axially on both sides two rolling members 230, which are rotatably connected to the pumping wheel 241.
  • This design of the conveyor assembly 220 with a hose pump 240 allows a particularly simple and inexpensive construction of a discharge device according to the invention and an attachment according to the invention.
