Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Behälter zum Dosieren eines fließfähigen Stoffes, insbesondere eines Klebstoffes, wie Sekundenkleber.The invention relates to a container for dosing a flowable substance, in particular an adhesive, such as superglue.
Ein Behälter zum Dosieren für Klebstoffe ist beispielsweise aus der Druckschrift
Behälter zum Lagern von Klebstoffen sind entweder hinsichtlich ihrer Lagerfähigkeit oder ihrer Möglichkeit, den Klebstoff adäquat zu dosieren, problematisch.Storage containers for adhesives are problematic either in their shelf life or their ability to adequately dose the adhesive.
Um Klebstoffe, wie beispielsweise Sekundenkleber, über eine lange Zeit zu lagern, bedarf der Behälter häufig einer entsprechend dicken Umfangswand, um eine Diffusion durch die Umfangswand bzw. eine Wasserdampfdurchlässigkeit möglichst zu vermeiden. Um einen solchen Klebstoff mit wenig Kraftaufwand und präzise zu dosieren, wird aber eine dünne Umfangswand benötigt. Durch eine dünne Umfangswand können jedoch die oben beschriebenen Effekte (Diffusion/Wasserdampf-durchlässigkeit) auftreten.To store adhesives, such as superglue, over a long time, the container often requires a correspondingly thick peripheral wall in order to avoid diffusion through the peripheral wall or a water vapor permeability as possible. To dose such an adhesive with little effort and precise, but a thin peripheral wall is needed. By a thin peripheral wall, however, the effects described above (diffusion / water vapor permeability) can occur.
Der Erfindung liegt nun die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Behälter zum Dosieren eines fließfähigen Stoffes zu schaffen, der eine gute Lagerstabilität besitzt und der eine präzise Dosierbarkeit des Klebstoffes mit angemessenem manuellen Kraftaufwand ermöglicht.The invention is an object of the invention to provide a container for dosing a flowable material, which has a good storage stability and the one precise metering of the adhesive with appropriate manual effort allows.
Diese Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß durch den Behälter mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the container with the features of
Erfindungsgemäß wird ein Behälter zum Dosieren eines fließfähigen Stoffes, insbesondere eines Klebstoffes, wie Sekundenkleber, vorgeschlagen, umfassend einen Aufnahmekörper, welcher eine Umfangswand und eine in Längsrichtung des Aufnahmekörpers verlaufende Hauptachse aufweist. Der Boden des Aufnahmekörpers ist entweder von einem in ein offenes Ende des Aufnahmekörpers eingesetzten Stopfen oder von einer an die Umfangswand angeformten Stirnwand gebildet. An einer dem Aufnahmekörperboden abgewandten Stirnseite des Aufnahmekörpers ist eine Düse bzw. Dosierspitze zum Ausbringen eines fließfähigen Stoffes angeordnet, welche eine Austrittsöffnung aufweist. Der erfindungsgemäße Behälter zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass an der Umfangswand ein Hebel angeordnet ist, welcher sich entlang der Hauptachse erstreckt und der mit der Umfangswand einen spitzen Winkel einschließt, so dass ein schlitzartiger Zwischenraum ausgebildet ist.According to the invention, a container for dosing a flowable substance, in particular an adhesive, such as superglue, is proposed, comprising a receiving body, which has a peripheral wall and a main axis extending in the longitudinal direction of the receiving body. The bottom of the receiving body is formed either by a plug inserted into an open end of the receiving body or by an end wall formed on the peripheral wall. On a side facing away from the receiving body bottom end face of the receiving body, a nozzle or dosing tip for dispensing a flowable material is arranged, which has an outlet opening. The container according to the invention is characterized in that on the peripheral wall, a lever is arranged, which extends along the main axis and which forms an acute angle with the peripheral wall, so that a slot-like gap is formed.
Durch den erfindungsgemäßen Behälter ist es möglich, sowohl die erforderliche bzw. gewünschte Lagerstabilität des Klebstoffes, wie auch eine präzise Dosierbarkeit des Klebstoffes mit angemessenem Kraftaufwand zu gewährleisten. Die Lagerstabilität kann durch eine entsprechend dicke Umfangswand und/oder durch geeignete Materialauswahl erzielt werden. Die präzise Dosierbarkeit des Klebstoffes wird dadurch erreicht, dass an der Umfangswand der Hebel angeordnet ist, welcher mit angemessenem Kraftaufwand betätigt werden kann, um den fließfähigen Stoff aus dem Aufnahmekörper auszubringen. Zum Ausbringen des fließfähigen Stoffes wird der Hebel in Richtung des Aufnahmekörpers gedrückt. Durch das Betätigen des Hebels wird die Umfangswand des Aufnahmekörpers derart verformt, dass im Aufnahmekörper ein Überdruck entsteht und der fließfähige Stoff aus dem Aufnahmekörper ausgebracht werden kann.By the container according to the invention, it is possible to ensure both the required or desired storage stability of the adhesive, as well as a precise metering of the adhesive with an appropriate force. The storage stability can be achieved by a correspondingly thick peripheral wall and / or by suitable choice of material. The precise metering of the adhesive is achieved by arranging on the peripheral wall the lever which can be actuated with adequate force to expel the flowable substance from the receiving body. For discharging the flowable substance, the lever is pressed in the direction of the receiving body. By pressing the lever, the peripheral wall of the receiving body is deformed such that in the receiving body, an overpressure is created and the flowable material can be discharged from the receiving body.
Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Behälters nach der Erfindung verläuft der Hebel zumindest weitgehend über die Längserstreckung des Aufnahmekörpers. Ein Behälter mit einem derartig ausgeführten Hebel liegt besonders vorteilhaft in der Hand. Zudem macht es ein solcher Hebel möglich, den Aufnahmekörper lediglich bereichsweise zu komprimieren. Wird der Hebel im Bereich der Stirnseite betätigt, so wird hauptsächlich der stirnseitige Bereich des Aufnahmekörpers komprimiert. Wird der Hebel im Bereich des Aufnahmekörperbodens betätigt, so erfolgt die Komprimierung hauptsächlich im Bereich des Aufnahmekörperbodens. Wird der Hebel in seinem bezogen auf seine Längsrichtung mittleren Bereich betätigt, so wird der Aufnahmekörper im Wesentlichen im mittleren Bereich komprimiert.In a preferred embodiment of the container according to the invention, the lever extends at least substantially over the longitudinal extension of the receiving body. One Container with such a lever executed is particularly advantageous in the hand. In addition, such a lever makes it possible to compress the receiving body only partially. If the lever is actuated in the region of the end face, the frontal region of the receiving body is mainly compressed. If the lever is actuated in the region of the receiving body bottom, the compression takes place mainly in the area of the receiving body bottom. If the lever is actuated in its middle region relative to its longitudinal direction, the receiving body is compressed substantially in the middle region.
Bei einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Behälters nach der Erfindung ist zwischen dem Hebel und der Umfangswand mindestens ein Steg angeordnet, welcher quer zur Hauptachse verläuft und den schlitzartigen Zwischenraum durchgreift. Ein derartiger Steg überträgt eine in den Hebel eingebrachte Druckkraft in besonders vorteilhafter Weise auf den Aufnahmekörper und führt gegenüber einer Ausführung ohne Steg zu einer größeren Komprimierung des Aufnahmekörpers bei gleichem Krafteinsatz.In a further preferred embodiment of the container according to the invention, at least one web is arranged between the lever and the peripheral wall, which web extends transversely to the main axis and engages through the slot-like intermediate space. Such a web transmits a compressive force introduced into the lever in a particularly advantageous manner to the receiving body and leads compared to a version without web to a greater compression of the receiving body with the same use of force.
Bei einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Behälters nach der Erfindung ist die Umfangswand im Bereich des Steges verjüngt ausgebildet. Eine solche verjüngte oder dünner ausgebildete Umfangswand führt dazu, dass eine in den Hebel eingebrachte Druckkraft zu einer stärkeren Verformung der Umfangswand im Bereich des Steges führt. Dadurch ist dieser Bereich tiefer in den Aufnahmebehälter eindrückbar und führt somit dazu, dass bei einem einzigen Drückvorgang eine geeignete bzw. optimale Menge des fließfähigen Stoffes aus dem Aufnahmebehälter ausgebracht werden kann.In a further preferred embodiment of the container according to the invention, the peripheral wall is tapered in the region of the web. Such a tapered or thinner formed peripheral wall causes a pressure force introduced into the lever leads to a greater deformation of the peripheral wall in the region of the web. As a result, this area can be pushed deeper into the receptacle and thus leads to the fact that a suitable or optimum amount of the flowable substance can be dispensed from the receptacle in a single pressing operation.
Bei einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Behälters nach der Erfindung weist der Hebel in seinem Querschnitt einen Verlauf auf, der bezogen auf den Aufnahmekörper konvex ist bzw. bezogen auf die Achse des Behälters nach außen gekrümmt ist, so dass eine Längskante des Hebels, welche entlang der Hauptachse verläuft, von dem Aufnahmekörper abgewandt ist. Durch eine derartige Ausführung des Hebels wird die Hebelwirkung verstärkt. Die Längskante des Hebels ist von einem Ansatzbereich, über welchen der Hebel an die Umfangswand grenzt, so weit entfernt, dass der Hebel aufgrund der großen Hebelwirkung mit geringem Krafteinsatz gedrückt werden kann, um den Aufnahmebehälter zu komprimieren. Durch den konvexen bzw. bezogen auf die Behälterachse nach außen gekrümmten Verlauf des Hebels liegt dieser gut in der Hand und bietet eine gute Griffigkeit für die betätigenden Finger.In a further preferred embodiment of the container according to the invention, the lever in its cross section on a curve which is convex relative to the receiving body or is curved outwards relative to the axis of the container, so that a longitudinal edge of the lever, which along the Main axis extends, facing away from the receiving body. Such an embodiment of the lever enhances the leverage effect. The longitudinal edge of the lever is so far away from a shoulder area, by which the lever adjoins the circumferential wall, that the lever can be pressed with little force due to the great leverage effect in order to compress the receiving container. By the convex or related to the Container axis outwardly curved course of the lever this is good in the hand and provides a good grip for the actuated fingers.
Bei einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Behälters nach der Erfindung weist eine Hebelstirnseite, welche an einer der Dosierspitze abgewandte Seite des Hebels angeordnet ist, einen ebenen bzw. fluchtenden Verlauf mit einer Standfläche des Stopfens bzw. der Stirnwand auf. Eine derartige Ausführungsform ist bezüglich einer Standfestigkeit des Behälters besonders vorteilhaft. Das fluchtende Anordnen der Standfläche des Aufnahmekörperbodens und der Unterseite des Hebels führt zu einem sicheren und wackelfreien Stand des Behälters auf einem ebenen Untergrund. Der Aufnahmekörperboden kann von einer einstückig mit dem Aufnahmekörper gebildeten Stirnwand gebildet sein, die eine Standfläche bildet, oder von einem topfförmigem, in den Aufnahmekörper eingesetzten Stopfen gebildet sein, dessen Flansch oder Bodenplatte eine Standfläche bildet und mit der bodenseitigen Stirnseite des Hebels fluchtet. Wenn der Aufnahmekörperboden von einer einstückig angeformten Stirnwand gebildet ist, kann die Düse bzw. die Dosierspitze an der dem Boden abgewandten Stirnseite des Aufnahmekörpers nach der Befüllung mit dem fließfähigen Stoff aufgeprellt sein.In a further preferred embodiment of the container according to the invention, a lever end face, which is arranged on a side facing away from the metering tip of the lever, a flat or aligned course with a standing surface of the plug or the end wall. Such an embodiment is particularly advantageous with respect to a stability of the container. The flush arrangement of the footprint of the receiving body bottom and the underside of the lever leads to a secure and wobble-free state of the container on a flat surface. The receiving body bottom may be formed by an end wall integrally formed with the receiving body, which forms a standing surface, or be formed by a pot-shaped, inserted into the receiving body plug whose flange or bottom plate forms a base and is aligned with the bottom end side of the lever. If the receiving body bottom is formed by an integrally formed end wall, the nozzle or the dosing tip can be bounced on the side facing away from the bottom of the receiving body after filling with the flowable material.
Bei einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Behälters nach der Erfindung ist der Hebel als Vollkörper ausgeführt. Ein derartiger Hebel ist gegenüber einem Hebel als Hohlkörper massereicher, was sich besonders vorteilhaft hinsichtlich des Kraftaufwandes zur Komprimierung des Aufnahmekörpers auswirkt.In a further preferred embodiment of the container according to the invention, the lever is designed as a solid body. Such a lever is massive compared to a lever as a hollow body, which is particularly advantageous in terms of the force required to compress the receiving body.
Bei einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Behälters nach der Erfindung ist der Aufnahmekörper elastisch verformbar, so dass der Hebel federelastisch ausgebildet ist. Eine derartige Ausführungsform ist besonders vorteilhaft, wenn der Hebel wiederholt gedrückt werden soll. Bei einer federelastischen Ausführung stellt sich der Hebel nach einem Betätigungsvorgang zurück in seine Ausgangsposition, um von dort aus erneut betätigt bzw. gedrückt zu werden.In a further preferred embodiment of the container according to the invention, the receiving body is elastically deformable, so that the lever is resilient. Such an embodiment is particularly advantageous when the lever is to be pressed repeatedly. In a resilient design, the lever returns after an actuation operation back to its original position, to be operated from there again or pressed.
Bei einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Behälters nach der Erfindung ist der Aufnahmekörper zusammen mit dem Hebel einstückig nach einem Spritzgießverfahren hergestellt. Ein solches Verfahren ist besonders vorteilhaft, denn es ist sehr genau, so dass Toleranzen keine Rolle spielen und der Aufnahmekörper sehr formtreu ausgebildet werden kann. Denkbar ist es natürlich auch, den Behälter nach der Erfindung nach einem Spritzblasverfahren oder dergleichen zu fertigen.In a further preferred embodiment of the container according to the invention, the receiving body is manufactured together with the lever in one piece by an injection molding process. Such a method is particularly advantageous, because it is very accurate, so that tolerances play no role and the receiving body very true to form can be trained. It is also conceivable, of course, to manufacture the container according to the invention by an injection blow molding process or the like.
Weitere Vorteile und vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen des Gegenstandes der Erfindung sind der Beschreibung, der Zeichnung und den Ansprüchen entnehmbar.Further advantages and advantageous embodiments of the subject matter of the invention are the description, the drawings and the claims removable.
