Definitions

  • the invention relates to a metering dispenser with the preamble features of claim 1.
  • a disadvantage of this Schleppkolbensystem is that the proper function makes high demands on the items and their handling.
  • the tow piston must reliably seal to the vessel wall and at the same time be able to move with as little force or negative pressure as possible. This is usually carried out with a sealing and a guide lip whose properties u.a. depend on the material used, diameter and geometry of wall thicknesses.
  • This system responds to leaks due to damage to the container wall or the malfunctioning piston, as in this case ambient air would be drawn into the container by the negative pressure of the pump instead of retightening the drag piston. If the frictional force for moving the piston is too high, no product can be sucked in by the pump due to the resulting negative pressure in the container.
  • the shape of the container is very limited and can technically make sense only round or possibly even oval. If the towing piston is inserted after filling the container, it is usually provided with a vent opening, which in turn must be closed by a plug and thus possibly an additional part. If solid particles are present in the substance, they can cause additional friction between the piston and the container wall and thus prevent the dosing dispenser from functioning.
  • a metering dispenser is provided for certain types of substances or components, namely for pasty substances, which adhere to the surface of the piston, which has a certain distance from the container wall and therefore forms a sealing film on the inner contour of the container.
  • the pasty substance should not dry out or oxidize in the air, so that this metering dispenser is preferably suitable for substances based on wax or fat, in particular for lip care products.
  • the pasty substance thus has a relatively low viscosity. Therefore, the piston requires no exact fit, but can be used with considerable play of about 1% in the container. Through this game (also referred to as a throw fit in mechanical engineering), the piston can be mounted quickly in the container, since now no longer provides the piston for the airtight seal against the ambient air, but adhering as a sealing pasty substance. Preferably, therefore, no volatile ingredients (eg, water, alcohol, etc.) should be present, as is the case with many lip care products in any case, so that no drying out of the substance or its components can take place.
  • no volatile ingredients eg, water, alcohol, etc.
  • the piston is not hindered in this "floating" principle by frictional forces during movement, as this always has a gap or gap to the vessel wall.
  • the pasty substance can therefore adhere well to the surface of the piston and is entrained by this when emptying the system. Due to the adhesion of the component to the container wall, the thus formed sealing film between piston and container wall upright.
  • a ball z. B. can be used as a purchased part, which preferably has a very low specific density and whose diameter is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the container.
  • the piston can take any other cross-sectional shapes of the container as well as angular shapes that are technically difficult to implement in a drag piston system that hermetically seals.
  • the piston Since the piston has no contact with the container, this does not require a sealing lip as in conventional systems and can thus be designed as a simple, solid or hollow body.
  • the tolerances between the outer diameter of the piston and the inner diameter of the container can be relatively large and thus unproblematic in the production.
  • the surface of container inner wall and piston are virtually irrelevant; Scratches and other injuries do not affect the function of the system.
  • the manufacture and assembly can be done much cheaper.
  • a gap width between the piston and the container wall is between 0.02 and 0.2 mm.
  • a small column width causes a small residual volume, since only a small amount of product in the height of the column width is not stripped off the piston and thus remains as residual volume in the container.
  • a very small column width in turn requires higher demands on the dimensional tolerances of container inner contour and piston outer contour.
  • the piston can also be carried out in liquid form in the form of a second filling onto the substance or component with a hardening mass, which then shrinks during curing, preferably by about 1 to 2%, in order to create a certain gap width.
  • Fig. 1 a dosing dispenser with container and pump unit
  • Fig. 2-6 various exemplary embodiments of the piston
  • Fig. 7 - 12 various examples of the shape of the container
  • a dosing dispenser 1 which generally consists of at least one container 1 for holding the substance or component, in particular in an oval or round extrusion mold, a piston 5 and a pump unit 10 inserted therein.
  • two or more such containers 1 may be provided with each associated piston and associated pump unit in a metering dispenser.
  • the adjustment of the mixture of the individual components in the containers 1 can take place by turning a setting element (not shown).
  • a fixed setting of the mixing ratio such. B. each 50%, sufficient.
  • the output of the component from the respective container 1 takes place here by the depression of the dosing dispenser head 2 of the pump unit 10 and the movement of the pump piston 4 coupled thereto.
  • the volume of the pump chamber 11 is reduced, so that the spring 8 of the exhaust valve is compressed by the resulting pressure and opens the ball 7 of the exhaust valve and the component from the dosing dispenser head 2 is promoted.
  • this is pushed back with the pump piston 4 through the pump spring 9 into the starting position, wherein the pump chamber 11 increases and the resulting negative pressure lifts the inlet valve 6, which is shown as a flexible membrane, in the middle and thus opens.
  • Fig.1 the initial state of the filled container 1 is shown, wherein the piston 5 is located at the open end side of the container 1.
  • the position of the piston 5 is thus on the surface of the product, the piston 5 being held in the position shown by the adhesion with the component.
  • the component or pasty substance is filled before assembly of the piston 5 through the open end of the container 1 and then the piston is placed on the pasty substance or inserted into the container 1, wherein the total ambient air between the piston 5 and substance through the Annular gap between the piston 5 and container 1 escapes and thus the piston 5 with the component or substance side facing the full contact with this.
  • a sealing film 5a forms in the annular gap 5a '(indicated here by a wavy line on the bottom left), so that the only loosely fitted piston 5 is perfectly sealed to the inner contour of the container 1.
  • Fig.2 - Fig.6 show various examples of embodiments of the piston 5 and are each shown in cooperation with the container 1, wherein the upper portion of the figures each have a lateral longitudinal section and the lower portion of the figures each have an associated cross section through the container 1 with piston 5.
  • Fig. 2 shows a piston 5, which consists of a loosely fitted sleeve which is closed to the component with a surface, wherein the sleeve together with the sealing film 5a in the annular gap 5a 'serves as a guide.
  • This piston has a relatively low intrinsic mass and therefore adheres very reliably to the component or pasty substance.
  • Figure 3 shows a piston 5, which consists of a solid round cylinder and has a sufficient cylindrical length in order to ensure a reliable guidance, which prevents tilting of the piston.
  • This piston 5 can be made very cheap as a section of an extrusion part, but has a relatively high intrinsic mass and therefore must adhere very reliably to the component. Again, the annular gap for forming the Abdichtfilms 5a can be seen.
  • Fig. 4 shows a piston 5 as a surface with attached guide ribs, which are arranged for example in a cross shape.
  • Fig. 5 again shows a ball as a piston 5, which is conveniently available as a purchased part.
  • the ball can be designed as a solid ball made of lightweight material or as a hollow ball in the manner of a small table tennis ball.
  • the container bottom arranged here above is advantageously designed in a hemispherical shape in order to minimize the residual volume.
  • Fig. 6 shows another example similar to the principle of Fig. 2 wherein the piston is adapted to the conical bottom of the container to minimize the residual volume.
  • FIG. 7 to FIG. 12 show by way of example various extrusion forms of the container 1, which can be carried out in principle in all conceivable, slim contours, preferably as an extrusion part.
