Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Behälter zur Aufnahme und Abgabe eines Duftstoffes in den Behandlungsraum eines Haushaltgerätes. Des Weiteren betrifft die Erfindung ein Haushaltgerät mit einem solchen Behälter.The invention relates to a container for receiving and delivering a fragrance in the treatment room of a household appliance. Furthermore, the invention relates to a household appliance with such a container.
Bei Haushaltsgeräten ist es bekannt, dem Behandlungsraum einen Duftstoff zuzuführen. So wird beispielsweise bei einem Wäschetrockner die in der Trocknertrommel vorhandene Wäsche mit Duftstoff beaufschlagt. Hierzu ist aus der
Der Erfindung stellt sich das Problem, einen Behälter zur Aufnahme und Abgabe von Duftstoff zu offenbaren, welcher einfach und sicher im Handling ist. Des Weiteren soll ein Haushaltgerät mit einem solchen Behälter offenbart werden.The invention addresses the problem of disclosing a container for receiving and dispensing perfume, which is easy and safe to handle. Furthermore, a household appliance is to be disclosed with such a container.
Erfindungsgemäß wird dieses Problem durch einen Behälter mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst bzw. durch ein Haushaltgerät mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 13 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den nachfolgenden Unteransprüchen.According to the invention this problem is solved by a container with the features of
Die mit der Erfindung erreichbaren Vorteile ergeben sich dadurch, dass der Behälter einen Innenbehälter umfasst, welcher von einem in das Haushaltgerät einsetzbaren Außengehäuse aufnehmbar ist, und dass Innenbehälter und Außengehäuse relativ zueinander von einer Schließstellung in eine Duftstoffabgabestellung bewegbar sind. Auf diese Weise entsteht ein Dosiersystem, welches als Nachfüllgebinde in ein Haushaltgerät leicht eingesetzt werden kann, wobei sowohl während des Einsetzens als auch während des Aktivierens der Duftstoffabgabe die Gefahr eines Verschüttens von Duftstoff ausgeschlossen ist. Unterstützt wird dies dadurch, dass der Innenbehälter ein Fixiermittel besitzt, mittels dessen es bezüglich des Haushaltgerätes in einer dreh- und/oder ortsfesten Lage positionierbar ist. Der Innenbehälter kann eine Duftstoffabgabeöffnung besitzen, welche im in das Haushaltgerät eingesetzten Zustand wenigstens annähernd in der Zwölf-Uhr-Position angeordnet ist. Durch die vorbeschriebene Ausgestaltung wird gewährleistet, dass diese Öffnung in ihrer Position verbleibt und kein Duftstoff verschüttet werden kann. Vorteilhaft ist es auch, wenn der Innenbehälter zusätzlich zur Duftstoffabgabeöffnung eine Einfüllöffnung besitzt. Prinzipiell ist zwar auch eine Befüllung des Innenbehälters über die Duftstoffabgabeöffnung möglich, dort können allerdings Vorrichtungen zur Abgabe und Verteilung des Duftstoffs in die Umgebungsluft angeordnet sein, die eine Befüllung erschweren.The advantages achievable with the invention result from the fact that the container comprises an inner container which can be received by an outer housing which can be inserted into the household appliance, and in that the inner container and outer housing can be moved relative to one another from a closed position into a perfume dispensing position. This creates a Dosing system, which can be easily used as Nachfüllgebinde in a household appliance, both during the onset and during the activation of the fragrance delivery, the risk of spillage of perfume is excluded. This is supported by the fact that the inner container has a fixing means by means of which it can be positioned with respect to the household appliance in a rotational and / or stationary position. The inner container may have a perfume discharge port which is disposed at least approximately at the twelve o'clock position when inserted in the household appliance. The above-described embodiment ensures that this opening remains in its position and no fragrance can be spilled. It is also advantageous if the inner container has a filling opening in addition to the fragrance delivery opening. In principle, although a filling of the inner container via the fragrance delivery opening is possible, but there may be arranged devices for dispensing and distribution of the fragrance in the ambient air, which complicate a filling.
Ein zweckmäßiger und auch vom Anwender einfach montierbarer Aufbau ergibt sich, wenn der Innenbehälter und das Außengehäuse einen wenigstens annähernd zylindrischen Aufbau besitzen und der Innenbehälter im Außengehäuse lagerbar ist. Dabei ist es vorteilhaft, wenn der Innenbehälter im Außengehäuse in axialer Richtung verrastbar ist. Diese vorzugsweise unlösbare Fixierung kann bereits herstellerseitig vorgenommen werden. Es lässt sich dann in einfacher Weise bewerkstelligen, dass das Außengehäuse um den Innenbehälter von der Schließstellung in die Duftstoffabgabestellung drehbar ist. Hierdurch ergibt sich wiederum ein einfaches Handling. Es ist auch vorteilhaft, wenn das Außengehäuse und/oder der Innenbehälter Drehwinkelbegrenzungsmittel besitzen. Dann kann das Außengehäuse nicht von der Schließstellung über die Duftstoffabgabestellung hinaus gedreht werden, was eine Abgabe des Duftstoffs verhindern oder wenigstens verschlechtern würde. Ein einfacher Aufbau entsteht, wenn das Außengehäuse mit einer zylindrischen Wand den Innenbehälter umgreift, und wenn in der Wand eine Aussparung angeordnet ist, die in der Duftstoffabgabestellung mit der Duftstoffabgabeöffnung des Innenbehälters korrespondiert. Wenn die Drehwinkelbegrenzungsmittel derart wirken, dass die Öffnung nicht über die Einfüllöffnung drehbar ist, ergibt sich einerseits der vorbeschriebene Vorteil, dass eine verschlechterte Duftstoffabgabe verhindert wird, andererseits kann dadurch sichergestellt werden, dass der Anwender nicht an der Einfüllöffnung manipulieren kann.An expedient and easily mountable by the user construction results if the inner container and the outer housing have an at least approximately cylindrical structure and the inner container can be stored in the outer housing. It is advantageous if the inner container can be latched in the outer housing in the axial direction. This preferably insoluble fixation can already be made by the manufacturer. It can then be accomplished in a simple manner that the outer housing is rotatable about the inner container from the closed position to the fragrance delivery position. This in turn results in a simple handling. It is also advantageous if the outer housing and / or the inner container have rotational angle limiting means. Then, the outer housing can not be rotated from the closed position beyond the fragrance delivery position, which would prevent or at least degrade delivery of the fragrance. A simple structure arises when the outer housing with a cylindrical wall engages around the inner container, and when in the wall, a recess is arranged, which corresponds to the perfume discharge opening of the inner container in the perfume delivery position. If the rotation angle limiting means act such that the opening is not rotatable via the filling opening, on the one hand the advantage described above results that a deteriorated fragrance delivery is prevented, on the other hand it can be ensured that the user can not manipulate at the filling opening.
Um dem Anwender die Überführung des Außengehäuses sowohl in das Haushaltsgerät als auch in die Duftstoffabgabestellung zu erleichtern, ist in vorteilhafter Weise das Außengehäuse derart gestaltet, dass es eine ringförmige Handhabe aufweist, welche als Einschubbegrenzung fungiert.In order to facilitate the user's transfer of the outer housing in both the household appliance and in the fragrance delivery position, the outer housing is advantageously designed such that it has an annular handle, which acts as Einschubbegrenzung.
In einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform besitzen das Außengehäuse und/oder der Innenbehälter Mittel, die ein Einsetzen des vom Außengehäuse aufgenommenen Innenbehälters in das Haushaltgerät nur in der Schließstellung zulassen. Hierdurch wird gewährleistet, dass der Behälter zunächst einmal geschlossen ist. Eine Duftstoffabgabe muss aktiv vom Anwender freigegeben werden und kann nicht zufällig oder Aufgrund einer Unachtsamkeit erfolgen.In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the outer housing and / or the inner container have means which permit insertion of the inner container accommodated by the outer housing in the domestic appliance only in the closed position. This ensures that the container is initially closed. A fragrance delivery must be actively released by the user and can not be accidental or due to carelessness.
Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Haushaltgerät gemäß Anspruch 13 kann es zweckmäßig sein, wenn das Haushaltgerät eine Öffnung zur Aufnahme des Behälters besitzt, an deren Rand die ringförmige Handhabe im Betriebszustand der Duftstoffabgabevorrichtung anliegt. Die Öffnung kann Führungsmittel besitzen, welche die Fixiermittel des Innenbehälters formschlüssig aufnehmen. Insbesondere können die Fixiermittel als an einen Wandbereich des Innenbehälters angeformter Fuß und das Führungsmittel als Aufnahmenut ausgebildet sein.In the household appliance according to the invention according to claim 13, it may be expedient if the household appliance has an opening for receiving the container, at the edge of the annular handle rests in the operating state of the fragrance delivery device. The opening may have guide means which receive the fixing means of the inner container in a form-fitting manner. In particular, the fixing means can be designed as a foot formed on a wall region of the inner container and the guide means as a receiving groove.
