Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container for dosing a flowable substance, in particular an adhesive, such as superglue.
  • a container for dosing for adhesives is for example from the document WO 2007/004203 A1 known and designed as an adhesive container. It consists of polyolefin, such as HDPE, and has along a major axis which extends in the longitudinal direction of the adhesive container, an elongated shape.
  • the adhesive container is formed of a peripheral wall having a concave portion extending along the major axis.
  • the bottom of the container is formed by an end wall, which is integral with the peripheral wall. At the end wall of the end facing away from the container, a second end face is arranged, which has a nozzle with an outlet opening for dispensing the adhesive.
  • the container 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.
  • 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.
  • a container for dosing a flowable substance in particular an adhesive, such as superglue, 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the peripheral wall is tapered in the region of the web.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • a longitudinal edge of the lever which along the Main axis extends, facing away from the receiving body.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the receiving body is elastically deformable, so that the lever is resilient.
  • the lever is particularly advantageous when the lever is to be pressed repeatedly.
  • the lever returns after an actuation operation back to its original position, to be operated from there again or pressed.
  • the receiving body is manufactured together with the lever in one piece by an injection molding process.
  • an injection molding process 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.
  • FIG. 1 A container for pouring a flowable substance produced by a syringe method is shown in FIG FIG. 1 shown in a perspective view.
  • the container comprises a receiving body 2, which has an approximately oval cross-section.
  • the receiving body 2 extends in its longitudinal direction along a main axis of the container and has a peripheral wall 4.
  • the receiving body 2 has at a bottom-side first end face an open end, in which a in FIG. 4 in isolation represented plug 12 can be used, which forms a receiving body bottom 6.
  • the plug 12 closes the receiving body 2 on the bottom side.
  • a metering tip 10 is integrally formed at a receiving body bottom 6 facing away from the second end face 8 of the receiving body 2.
  • the metering tip 10 has a sweeping longitudinal channel along the main axis, which connects the receiving body 2 with an outside area. At its top is the dosing tip 10 in the in FIG. 1 illustrated embodiment with an original closure 11 which is integrally formed on the dosing tip and an outlet opening 9 of the dosing tip 10 closes.
  • the original closure 11 For initial use of the container, the original closure 11 must be separated from the dispensing tip 10 to release a dispensing channel of the dispensing tip, wherein in the area between the dispensing tip 10 and the original closure 11 a notch is provided which facilitates separation of the original closure 11 of the dispensing tip 10 ,
  • a cap On the dosing tip 10, a cap (not shown) can be placed, which reversibly closes the discharge of the dosing tip 10 and thus prevents drying of a stored in the receiving body 2, flowable material.
  • a lever 14 is formed.
  • the lever 14 is designed as a solid body and extends substantially over the entire longitudinal extent of the receiving body 2 from the receiving body bottom 6 to almost the second end face 8.
  • the lever 14 closes with the peripheral wall 4 at an acute angle, so that a slot-like gap 16 is formed is.
  • the slot-like intermediate space 16 extends from the Aüf fortune moments 6 in the longitudinal direction along the main axis to the end face 8.
  • a web 18 is arranged between the lever 14 and the peripheral wall 4.
  • the web 18 extends transversely to the main axis and passes through the slot-like space 16.
  • the web 18 is fixedly connected to the lever 14 and the peripheral wall 4.
  • the peripheral wall 4 of the receiving body 2 in the region of the web 18 has a reduced thickness, so that a tapered portion 5 is formed.
  • the lever 14 with respect to the receiving body 2 has a convex or with respect to the receiving body 2 outwardly curved course, such as FIG. 3 shows.
  • the receiving body 2 produced by an injection molding process is designed elastically deformable such that the lever 14 is mounted resiliently.
  • the insertable into the open end of the receiving body 2 plug 12 after FIG. 4 has a cup-like shape.
  • the plug 12 comprises a region projecting into the receiving body 2 and a circumferential flange 24.
  • the flange 24 engages an edge of the peripheral wall 4 at the open end of the receiving body 2 and closes the receiving body 2 on the bottom side.
  • One of the second end face 8 of the receiving body 2 facing away from the end face of the flange 24 of the plug 12 used forms a base, on which the container can stand.
  • the base surface of the flange 24 is aligned with the second end face 8 of the receiving body 2 facing away from the lever.
