Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pen-type dispenser according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention relates to a particular one-component dispenser with a material or a component, can be discharged via an applicator arranged on the dispenser.
  • Dosing dispensers of this type have been widely available on the market for many years in a wide variety of embodiments and are used primarily for cosmetics in order to dispense, for example, creams, gels and the like. These dosing dispensers are more and more used for other applications, especially in the technical field, such as for adhesives and the like. It is a typical mass product, in which it depends on a simple construction and ease of manufacture in a special way and On the other hand, at the same time a good optical design must be achievable, especially in the main application of the cosmetics sector. As the pertinent prior art shows, it is naturally difficult to reconcile all these demands.
  • Known metering dispensers generally have a metering dispenser housing with a cartridge fixedly arranged therein for receiving the material or component to be dispensed, as well as an upstream pump unit and possibly an applicator.
  • the discharge is carried out by default usually via an actuator, such as a laterally attached push button or a bottom side provided adjusting knob, the operation of a arranged in the dispenser housing thrust mechanism, in particular a threaded rod, is rotated, which then advances as a result of a translational movement arranged at the bottom of the cartridge piston successively, so that the material can be discharged from the cartridge. It is obvious that this requires an expenditure on equipment, which is ultimately detrimental to a mass product.
  • a disadvantage of this dispenser is mainly that the handling is not optimal, because usually the dosage is done by manual operation of the push button or adjusting knob, but then a conversion of the dispenser is required in the hand to the discharged amount of material abandon the area to be treated. Again, this is awkward and disadvantageous.
  • dosing dispensers are known ( DE 20 2010 009 751 U1 and DE 20 2010 011 248 U1 ), which are characterized by a compact and slim, especially pen-like design, have also proven in practice and from which the invention proceeds.
  • These dosing dispensers are also used for two-component dosing dispensers, in each of which two of the cartridges are used in a dispenser housing and in which a metered discharge of the materials received in the cartridge can be carried out in predetermined or adjustable mixing ratios via a control device arranged below the cartridges ,
  • These known cartridges are characterized by a cleverly constructed pump unit with a pump cylinder and a cooperating pump piston, between which a compression spring is arranged. The operation, ie the discharge of the components takes place in that the piston of the cartridge upstream pump unit is actuated.
  • dosing dispensers are known ( DE 100 32 976 A1 , especially there FIG. 4a ) in which a separate container is suspended within a dispenser housing and that at a serving for the discharge of the material pump unit.
  • the discharge takes place in that the container is moved in the direction of the pump unit.
  • the hinge mechanism has a hinge pin mounted on the dispenser housing, on which the pivot lever is mounted. The interior of the hinge pin projecting end of the lever is coupled to the pump unit, so that after pivoting operation of the pivot lever, the container is pushed upwards and the material is discharged.
  • This actuating mechanism is expensive and prone to failure after frequent use.
  • this joint mechanism results in a comparatively wide construction of the metering dispenser in the area of the pump unit, so that a slim, compact design can not be maintained.
  • the practice shows that due to the pivoting movement no feinstufig Exactly metered discharge of material is possible, but rather in each case a discharge corresponding to the complete pivoting process takes place.
  • a comparable construction of a dosing dispenser also results from the US 2007/0125799 A1 also requires a complex operating mechanism to move the separately received in the dispenser housing material container relative to the pumping unit for the purpose of discharging material. This structure requires a plurality of separate components, so that also results in both a complex and wide construction.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a metering dispenser for in particular the metered discharge of only one component or a material, which is characterized by simple construction, ease of manufacture and ease of use.
  • a metering dispenser for in particular the metered discharge of only one component or a material, which is characterized by simple construction, ease of manufacture and ease of use.
  • the components required for the operation of the dispenser allow the most compact design of the dispenser, in particular the actuator can be integrated substantially flush in the dispenser housing.
  • the dosing dispenser is characterized in that within the dispenser housing a component to be discharged or the material to be discharged receiving container is slidably mounted within the dispenser housing, in particular translationally in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the dispenser housing, and is correspondingly movable via an actuator, to thereby activate the pump unit. That is, the movement stroke of the container is decisive for the actuation of the pump unit for the purpose of metered material discharge.
  • any suitable pump unit can be used as the pump unit, in particular pump units as described in US Pat DE 20 2010 011 248 US or the DE 20 2010 009 751 U1 are described.
  • According to the invention is moved by the stroke of the container upon actuation of the actuator of the pump cylinder of the pumping unit in the direction of the pump piston, which results in that the pump chamber is reduced by the plunging pump piston. If material has already been metered into the pump chamber from the container, this material is introduced into a pump piston as a result of the pressure caused by the retracting piston Passage discharged from the pump unit, preferably to the outside via a superior applicator. Any conventional and suitable embodiment commonly used for such dispensers may be used for the applicator.
  • the actuation of the container for the purpose of activating the pump unit for the discharge of the material can be done by immediate manual access to the container, which can be manually moved up and down by finger pressure and thus. It is expedient to provide an opening for manual access in the dispenser housing. In this context, it is expedient to provide in the region of the container, which is aligned with the opening, a frictional increase training, such as ribbing, roughening, knobs or rubber coating and the like., Even in wet hands, a proper displacement of the To enable container for the purpose of activation of the pump.

  • the actuating member in the dispenser housing in such a way that it is either recessed inwards relative to the outer jacket of the dispenser or is advantageously flush with the outer jacket of the dispenser housing so that a compact and optically pleasing construction is achieved.
  • This has the advantage that the dosing dispenser builds extremely slim and can therefore be offered in a slim package and also in the handling of the dispenser and inadvertent accidental accidental discharge can usually be avoided.
  • this structure also has optical advantages, which is of extremely great importance for such a mass-produced product, in particular in the application of the cosmetics industry, because this does not disturb the slim design of a dispenser housing.

  • the mode of action of the dosing dispenser after the FIGS. 1 to 4 is hereby as follows: For this purpose, it is assumed that dosing processes have already taken place, so that the material to be discharged is already in the pump chamber bounded by the pumping chamber 34. If the slide element 12 is manually displaced upward again, the slide element translates with the container 24 latched over the recess 32 and the annular shoulder 30 and thus coupled, so that the container 24 moves along the axis 16 of the dispenser housing Fig. 3 is moved upward in the direction of the pumping unit 22.
  • the pump cylinder 34 is moved relative to the fixed held in the dispenser pump piston 38 upwards, so that as a result of this relative displacement, so to speak, the pump piston 38 moves into the pumping cylinder 34 and thus the volume of is reduced by the pump cylinder limiting pump chamber, with the result that the valve member 46 lifts off from the pump piston by the resulting pressure and the biasing spring 48 which acts on the valve member 46, is compressed. As a result, the material located in the pumping chamber is discharged in the direction of the applicator. If then the slider element 12 is released, then the pumping cylinder 34 is in the direction of view by the compression spring 44 Fig.
  • this also has the consequence that due to the reduction of the volume of the component within the container 24 and the piston 54 due to the adhesion to the surface of the container 24 located in the component simultaneously with the material discharge into the pump chamber 58 with drawn up accordingly or retraced.
  • the pumping space 58 is reduced again because the pumping cylinder 34 is moved upwards relative to the pumping piston 38 and then the valve member 46 opens as a result of the pressure built up in the pumping chamber 58, so that the component located in the pumping chamber 58 is pushed upwardly through the flow channel 50 to the outlet port 6 of the applicator.
  • a dosage of material is in this case possible until the piston 54 has migrated due to the emptying of the container 24 up to the end wall.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 show the slider element 12 with the handle recess 18 and an integrally formed on the slider element 12 annular sleeve 60.
  • the after FIGS. 5 and 6 but in particular circular cylindrical sleeve does not have to be closed all around. It can also have a separating gap extending over the length of the sleeve, so that the sleeve 60 can then be clipped onto the sleeve 28 of the container from the side.
