Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Spender für flüssige bis pastöse Massen, mit einer Pumpkammer und einem Ausgaberöhrchen, wobei das Ausgaberöhrchen im Zuge einer Pumpbewegung zwischen einer Ruhestellung und einer Spendestellung bewegt wird, und eine Ausgabeöffnung des Ausgaberöhrchens in der Ruhestellung von einem mit dem Spender verbundenen Abdeckteil überdeckt ist.The invention relates to a dispenser for liquid to pasty masses, comprising a pumping chamber and a dispensing tube, wherein the dispensing tube is moved in the course of a pumping movement between a rest position and a dispensing position, and an outlet opening of the dispensing tube in the rest position of a connected to the dispenser Cover is covered.
Derartige Spender sind in verschiedener Hinsicht bekannt geworden. Es wird bspw. auf die
Es besteht ein Bedürfnis, einen derartigen Spender bei einfacher Betätigbarkeit vorteilhaft auszubilden.There is a need to advantageously design such a dispenser with ease of operation.
Hieraus ergibt sich die Aufgabenstellung, einen Spender für flüssige bis pastöse Massen der angegebenen Art so weiterzubilden, dass er günstig bedienbar ist und eine für den Benutzer vorteilhafte Spende- und Ruhekonfiguration gegeben ist.This results in the task to develop a dispenser for liquid to pasty masses of the specified type so that it is easy to use and is advantageous for the user donation and rest configuration.
Diese Aufgabe ist nach einem ersten Erfindungsgedanken bei einem Spender gelöst, bei welchem darauf abgestellt ist, dass zumindest ein Teil des Ausgaberöhrchens im Zuge einer Pumpbetätigung in einer Richtung senkrecht zur Pumpbewegung unter Überfahren der Bewegungsbahn des relativ zu dem Ausgaberöhrchen zugleich bewegten Abdeckteils bewegt wird. Dadurch, dass das Ausgaberöhrchen senkrecht oder jedenfalls zumindest teilweise senkrecht zur Pumpbewegung im Zuge der Pumpbetätigung bewegt wird, kann es eine vorragende bzw. zurückgenommene Stellung einnehmen. Das Überfahren der Bewegungsbahn des Abdeckteils, das absolut gesehen, zufolge der Relativbewegung zu dem Ausgaberöhrchen, wenn dieses zudem vertikal bewegt ist, auch stillstehend ausgebildet sein kann, ermöglicht es, das Ausgaberöhrchen in Vorlage zu dem Abdeckteil zu bewegen oder es in einer zweiten Stellung hinter dem Abdeckteil anzuordnen. Es bietet sich an, das Ausgaberöhrchen in der Ruhestellung hinter dem Abdeckteil anzuordnen. Insbesondere die Ausgabeöffnung selbst kann damit in der Ruhestellung der Sicht entzogen sein. Es lässt sich eine Spendekonfiguration und eine Ruhekonfiguration erreichen. Diese können für den Benutzer deutlich unterschiedlich sein. Insbesondere kann in der Ruhekonfiguration das Ausgaberöhrchen, zumindest in dessen freiem Endbereich, der die Ausgabeöffnung aufweist, abgedeckt sein. Dagegen kann es in der Spendekonfiguration freigelegt und zugleich vorragend sein.This object is achieved according to a first idea of the invention in a dispenser, which is geared to that at least a portion of the dispensing tube is moved in the course of a pumping operation in a direction perpendicular to the pumping movement while traversing the path of movement relative to the dispensing tube simultaneously moving cover. Because the dispensing tube is moved perpendicularly or at least partially perpendicular to the pumping movement in the course of the pumping operation, it can assume a protruding or withdrawn position. The crossing of the Trajectory of the cover member, which in absolute terms, according to the relative movement to the dispensing tube, when this is also moved vertically, may also be stationary, allows to move the dispensing tube in the template to the cover or to arrange it in a second position behind the cover , It is advisable to arrange the dispensing tube in the rest position behind the cover. In particular, the discharge opening itself can thus be withdrawn in the rest position of the view. It is possible to achieve a donor configuration and a resting configuration. These can be significantly different for the user. In particular, in the rest configuration, the dispensing tube may be covered, at least in its free end region, which has the dispensing opening. In contrast, it can be exposed in the donor configuration and at the same time be outstanding.
Im Hinblick auf eine zentrale Achse des Spenders, insbesondere auch bei einer bevorzugt im Wesentlichen zylindrischen Gestaltung des Spenders, ist die Bewegung oder ggf. die Bewegungskomponente des Ausgaberöhrchens senkrecht zur Pumpbewegung eine Bewegung vorwiegend oder ausschließlich in Richtung einer Radialen zu der genannten Längsachse.With regard to a central axis of the dispenser, in particular also in a preferably substantially cylindrical design of the dispenser, the movement or possibly the movement component of the dispensing tube perpendicular to the pumping movement is a movement predominantly or exclusively in the direction of a radial to said longitudinal axis.
Alternativ zu dem zunächst beschriebenen Konzept kann das Ausgaberöhrchen auch nur eine Bewegung auf die Bewegungsbahn des Abdeckteils zu durchführen, ohne diese zu überfahren bzw. nur wenig zu überfahren, so dass in der Spendestellung nicht ein Teil nach außen über das Abdeckteil vorragt.As an alternative to the concept described above, the dispensing tube can also perform only a movement on the movement path of the cover without overtravel or overrun, so that in the dispensing position, no part protrudes outwardly beyond the cover.
Eine weitere Lehre der Erfindung betrifft die Anordnung des Abdeckteils. Bevorzugt nur in Kombination mit einem oder mit mehreren Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1, gegebenenfalls auch mit weiteren Merkmalen des Anspruches 1. Insbesondere betrifft diese Lehre die Zuordnung des Abdeckteils zu einem Spender-Wandteil. Insofern ist bevorzugt, dass das Abdeckteil nach innen versetzt zu dem Spender-Wandteil angeordnet ist, dass in dem Spender-Wandteil zugeordnet zu dem Abdeckteil eine fensterartige Öffnung ausgebildet ist, dass sich das Abdeckteil in der Ruhestellung in Überdeckung zu der Öffnung befindet und dass das Abdeckteil in der Spendestellung die Öffnung zumindest teilweise freigibt und zumindest ein Teil des Ausgaberöhrchens in der oder zugeordnet zu der Öffnung zur Ausgabe von Masse durch die Öffnung freiliegt. Das Ausgaberöhrchen ist in der Ruhestellung visierartig verschlossen. Dies wird durch das Abdeckteil erreicht, das in der Ruhestellung zugleich eine fensterartige Öffnung in dem Spender-Wandteil abdeckt. Hierdurch ist bevorzugt der Blick nach innen in den Spender vollständig gehindert. In der Spendestellung kann das Ausgaberöhrchen, dessen vordere Spitze, welche die Ausgabeöffnung aufweist, entweder durch die fensterartige Öffnung nach vorne vorragend angeordnet sein oder sich in der fensterartigen Öffnung befinden bzw. dahinter zurückstehen. Jedenfalls ist der Weg für die Masse durch die fensterartige Öffnung gegeben.Another teaching of the invention relates to the arrangement of the cover. Preferably only in combination with one or more features of the preamble of
Zur Spendebetätigung und auch zur Bewegung des Ausgaberöhrchens ist bei den beschriebenen Ausführungsformen bevorzugt nur eine einzige Spendebetätigung erforderlich, nämlich eine für derartige Spender auch übliche ledigliche Druckbetätigung in im Wesentlichen vertikaler Richtung. Es bedarf bspw. keiner (zusätzlichen) Drehbewegung durch den Benutzer von einem Spenderteil relativ zu einem anderen Spenderteil.For dispensing operation and also for movement of the dispensing tube, preferably only a single dispensing operation is required in the embodiments described, namely a single pressure actuation which is also usual for such dispensers in a substantially vertical direction. For example, it does not require any (additional) rotational movement by the user from one dispenser part relative to another dispenser part.
Es ist bevorzugt, dass die Bewegung des Ausgaberöhrchens eine Verschwenkbewegung ist. Im Zuge der Pumpbetätigung wird in diesem Fall zumindest ein Teil des Ausgaberöhrchens verschwenkt. Eine Verschwenkachse verläuft hierbei weiter bevorzugt senkrecht zu der Pumpbewegung bzw. in der Regel dann auch bevorzugt senkrecht zu der genannten Mittelachse des Spenders. Bevorzugt verschwenkt das gesamte Ausgaberöhrchen.It is preferred that the movement of the delivery tube is a pivoting movement. In the course of the pumping operation, in this case at least a part of the dispensing tube is pivoted. A pivot axis in this case further preferably perpendicular to the pumping movement or as a rule then also preferably perpendicular to said central axis of the dispenser. Preferably, the entire dispensing tube pivots.
In weiterer Einzelheit, gegebenenfalls aber auch unabhängig von der genannten Verschwenkbewegung, kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Ausgaberöhrchen einen abgeknickten Verlauf aufweist. Im Falle des Verschwenkens kann die Schwenkachse im Bereich oder endseitig eines sich im Wesentlichen senkrecht erstreckenden Abschnitts, bspw. bezogen auf die Ruhestellung des Ausgaberöhrchens, befinden.In further detail, but optionally also independently of the said pivoting movement, it can be provided that the dispensing tube has a bent course. In the case of pivoting, the pivot axis may be located in the region or at the end of a substantially vertically extending section, for example in relation to the rest position of the delivery tube.
Weiterhin ist auch bevorzugt, dass ein Betätigungsteil, auf das zur Durchführung einer Pumpbewegung einwirkbar ist bzw. auf welches zur Durchführung der Pumpbewegung vom Benutzer einzuwirken ist, zur Bewegung des Ausgaberöhrchens mit diesem zusammenwirkt. Das Betätigungsteil kann entweder unmittelbar zur Druck-Anlage auf das Ausgaberöhrchen kommen und/oder es kann eine Kulisse aufweisen, in welcher ein bspw. kulissensteinartig gebildeter Fortsatz des Ausgaberöhrchens geführt ist. Das Abdeckteil ist bevorzugt eine Spenderkappe oder ein Teil der Spenderkappe, weiter bevorzugt kann es bspw. durch einen oder zwei Finger eines Benutzers zur Druckbetätigung beaufschlagbar sein.Furthermore, it is also preferred that an actuating part, which can be acted on to carry out a pumping movement or which is to be acted on by the user for carrying out the pumping movement, cooperates with the latter for movement of the dispensing tube. The actuating part can come either directly to the pressure system on the dispensing tube and / or it may have a backdrop in which an example. Kulissensteinartig formed extension of the dispenser tube is guided. The cover member is preferably a dispenser cap or a part of the dispenser cap, more preferably it may for example be acted upon by one or two fingers of a user for printing operation.
Das Abdeckteil wird weiter bevorzugt im Zuge einer Pumpbetätigung vorrangig oder allein in vertikaler Richtung bewegt.The cover part is further preferably moved in the course of a pumping operation primarily or solely in the vertical direction.
Das Abdeckteil kann Teil einer Abdeckwand sein. Diese Abdeckwand kann auch feststehend vorgesehen sein, so dass sich das Ausgaberöhrchen im Zuge der Pumpbetätigung nur relativ zu diesem feststehenden Abdeckteil bzw. der Abdeckwand bewegt.The cover part may be part of a cover wall. This cover wall can also be provided fixed, so that the dispensing tube only moves in the course of the pumping operation relative to this fixed cover part or the cover wall.
Das Abdeckteil kann auch Teil des Betätigungsteils sein. Es wird dann mit diesem zusammen bewegt. Hierzu kann in vertikaler Richtung zwischen einem oberen Ende des Abdeckteils und einer Unterkante eines bspw. plattenförmigen Bereiches des Betätigungsteils ein Freiraum vorgesehen sein, durch den sich das Ausgaberöhrchen bzw. ein Teil desselben im Zuge der Pumpbewegung nach radial außen bewegen kann.The cover can also be part of the operating part. It is then moved together with this. For this purpose, a free space can be provided in the vertical direction between an upper end of the cover and a lower edge of an example. Plate-shaped portion of the operating part, through which the dispensing tube or a part thereof can move radially outward in the course of the pumping movement.
Im Hinblick auf die mögliche Schwenkbewegung des Ausgaberöhrchens kann dieses einen Teil eines Schwenkgelenkes ausbilden. Etwa eine kugelabschnittsartige Verdickung, die in einem entsprechenden Pfannenteil, das dann an einem oder mehreren weiteren Teilen des Spenders ausgebildet sein kann, einliegt.With regard to the possible pivoting movement of the delivery tube, it can form part of a pivoting joint. For example, a spherical segment-like thickening, which rests in a corresponding socket part, which can then be formed on one or more further parts of the dispenser.
Insbesondere kann ein weiterer Teil des Schwenkgelenks in einem Kolben-Einsetzteil ausgebildet sein oder in einem Teil, das unmittelbar den Pumpkolben ausbildet.In particular, a further part of the pivot joint may be formed in a piston insertion part or in a part which directly forms the pump piston.
Im Falle einer Kulissensteuerung der Bewegung des Ausgaberöhrchens, kann die Kulisse auch in einem feststehenden Teil des Spenders ausgebildet sein. In diesem Fall wird das Ausgaberöhrchen, bspw. druckbewegt durch das Betätigungsteil, in der Kulisse im Zuge einer Pumpbetätigung bewegt.In the case of a gate control of the movement of the dispensing tube, the gate can also be formed in a stationary part of the dispenser. In this case, the dispensing tube, for example. Pressure moved by the actuating member, moves in the backdrop in the course of a pumping operation.
Das Abdeckteil, das unmittelbar das Ausgaberöhrchen, jedenfalls bevorzugt im Hinblick auf die Ausgabeöffnung, in Ruhestellung der Sicht eines Benutzers, zumindest teilweise, entzieht, kann auch zumindest teilweise von einem Spender-Wandteil abgedeckt sein. Dieses Spender-Wandteil ist dann bevorzugt feststehend bezüglich des Spenders insgesamt vorgesehen.The cover part which directly extracts the dispensing tube, in any case preferably with respect to the dispensing opening, in the rest position of a user's view, at least partially, can also be at least partially covered by a dispenser wall part. This donor wall portion is then preferably fixed with respect to the donor as a whole.
Bevorzugt ist auch, dass das Spender-Wandteil und das Abdeckteil in einem Querschnitt seitlich versetzt zueinander vorgesehen sind.It is also preferable that the dispenser wall part and the cover part are provided laterally offset from one another in a cross section.
Die Einwirkung auf das Ausgaberöhrchen im Zuge einer Pumpbewegung kann auch unmittelbar in eine Pumpbewegung eines Pumpkolbens umgesetzt sein.The action on the delivery tube in the course of a pumping movement can also be converted directly into a pumping movement of a pump piston.
Nachstehend ist die Erfindung weiter anhand der beigefügten Zeichnung erläutert, die aber lediglich Ausführungsbeispiele darstellt. Ein Teil, das nur bezogen auf eines der Ausführungsbeispiele erläutert ist, und bei einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel aufgrund der dort herausgestellten Besonderheit nicht gerade durch ein anderes Teil ersetzt ist, ist damit auch für dieses weitere Ausführungsbeispiel als jedenfalls mögliches vorhandenes Teil beschrieben.

Der Spender 1 weist weiter eine Pumpkammer 9 auf, die aus einem beim Ausführungsbeispiel feststehenden Wandungsteil 10 und einem darin beweglichen Pumpkolben 11 begrenzt ist. In dem Wandungsteil 10 ist zugeordnet dem Vorratsraum 3 ein Einlassventil 12 ausgebildet. Beim Ausführungsbeispiel besteht das Einlassventil 12 aus einem Membranteil 13, das mittels eines Stopfenteils 14 in dem Wandungsteil 10 gehaltert ist. In Überdeckung zu dem Membranteil 13 sind in dem Wandungsteil 10 eine oder mehrere Durchlassöffnungen 15 ausgebildet. Bei einer Rückstellbewegung des Pumpkolbens 11 ergibt sich eine Ansaugung von Masse aus dem Vorratsraum 3, die zufolge eines flexiblen Wegbiegens des Membranteils 13 durch die Durchlassöffnungen 15 in die Pumpkammer 9 eintreten kann.The
In dem Pumpkolben 11 sind weitere Durchlassöffnungen 16 ausgebildet, die in gleicher Weise von einem weiteren Membranteil 17 überdeckt sind. Das Membranteil 17 ist durch das Kolben-Einsatzteil 18 gehaltert. Das Membranteil 17 bildet zusammen mit den Durchlassöffnungen 16 ein Auslassventil der Pumpkammer 9. Das Kolben-Einsatzteil 18 weist zur Halterung einen Druckabschnitt 19 auf, der, wie beim Ausführungsbeispiel bevorzugt, zentral auf das Membranteil 17 einwirkt. Seitlich hierzu sind in dem Kolben-Einsatzteil 18 Durchlassöffnungen 20 ausgebildet, um der Masse den Weg zu dem Ausgaberöhrchen 6 zu ermöglichen.
