Definitions
- the invention relates to a dispenser according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the invention relates to a one-component dosing dispenser, with which a material or a component, in particular via an applicator arranged on the dosing dispenser can be discharged.
- 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 dosing dispensers generally have a dosing 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 optionally an applicator.
- the discharge is carried out by default usually via an actuator, such as a laterally mounted push button or a bottom side provided knob, when actuated by a arranged in the dispenser housing thrust gear,
- a threaded rod is rotated, which then advances successively as a result of a translational movement arranged at the lower end of the cartridge piston, 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 design and have proven themselves in practice.
- these dosing dispensers are used significantly for two-component dosing dispensers, in which two of the cartridges are used in a dispenser housing and in which a metered discharge of the materials received in the cartridge in predetermined or adjustable mixing ratios carried out via a bottom side arranged below the cartridges can.
- 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.
- a dosing dispenser is known ( DE 689 22 886 T2 ), in which a pin-like housing which accommodates all the elements of the dosing dispenser, is formed by a plurality of juxtaposed and interconnected individual elements, namely a lower housing body, arranged thereon and axially fixedly connected to the housing body sleeve, which is also rotatably mounted relative to the housing body , a pump housing fixed in the sleeve by latching / clips and a further housing body arranged thereon and connected to the pump housing by a latching and / or clip connection for receiving an applicator, so that the housing is made up of a plurality of different components, resulting in a more complex and manufacturing technology as well as the assembly forth disadvantageous structure results.
- the pump elements are accommodated, wherein the actuation of the pump is effected by an axially adjustable push-button, with which a cartridge for receiving the cosmetic material axially within the housing body is adjusted together with a pump element, so that a discharge of cosmetic material up to the applicator is possible.
- the dosing dispenser is constructed from a number of many individual elements, wherein in particular the housing is subdivided into a plurality of individual elements. This results in a total of a complex assembly and manufacturing due to the large number of components required, which must also be coordinated.
- a disadvantage which is particularly decisive for mass production, above all, is that the functionality of the dosing dispenser can only be tested after complete assembly of all components. If the dosing dispenser does not work, the completely assembled component is a reject part.
- Dosing dispensers are also known in the art (EP 1 547 694 A2 ), in which a ready-to-mount unit can be inserted into the housing of the dosing dispenser, wherein the ready-to-mount unit, which has a cartridge and a pre-pump unit, is also provided with an adjusting device which prevents in a blocking position that material is accidentally discharged, and in a functional position allows a discharge of material through the cartridge.
- dosing dispensers are known (US Pat. EP 357 456 A2 ), which are equipped with adjusting devices with multiple functional positions for different material discharge.
- these metering dispensers are complex in construction and formed of a plurality of individual components matched to each other, wherein the adjusting device is composed of a total of three components, namely a cylinder coupled to a cartridge of the pumping unit, a cylinder fixed to the housing, with another axially on Housing defined, but rotatably mounted cylinder cooperates, which have different members of the actuator to allow different material discharges.
- dosing dispensers are a comparatively slender elongated product in which different, different components are to be accommodated, namely, as a rule, pump unit comprising pump cylinder, piston and valve, applicator, cartridge for receiving the material to be discharged, Operating knob, cap and dispenser housing.
- pump unit comprising pump cylinder, piston and valve, applicator, cartridge for receiving the material to be discharged
- Operating knob, cap and dispenser housing it is important to put together these different components as possible space-saving and easy over various interfaces while still making the shape of the components in itself easier, so that they are inexpensive to manufacture by injection molding of plastic.
- a metering dispenser for the discharge of materials, in particular cream-like cosmetic material, an elongated, preferably pin-like dispenser housing, in which a along the axis of the dispenser housing displaceable cartridge is included as well as a pump unit, an applicator for the discharge of the material and an actuating device for the activation of the pump unit, which is formed according to the invention by a push button.
- a push button This is accommodated at one end of the housing and axially displaceable in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the housing, so that axially displaced by axial depression of the push button in the housing, the cartridge against the pump unit and pressed, so that it is activated for the purpose of material discharge.
- the housing of the dosing dispenser is characterized as a central supporting body for the direct and indirect mounting of all components of the dosing dispenser by the support body is suitably provided with appropriate interface configurations for receiving and holding the components of the dosing dispenser, such as pumping unit, applicator, Cover, push button and / or cartridge.
- suitable interface configurations are plug-fit fits, snap-in and / or clip connections, which can preferably be formed integrally on the components which are preferably produced by plastic injection molding without any great additional measures.
- the diameter ratios between the male component such as diameter of the receptacle of the pump housing and diameter of the receiving sleeve of the housing are designed according to fit, as well as in the case of a detent and / or clip connection of course locking recesses or detents complementary are provided to the locking formations on the housing and vice versa.
- the cartridge can be held on the housing so to speak captive by the pump unit by the pump unit snugly received in the housing and the cartridge is received via a latching and / or clip connection to the pump unit. Captive in the present sense meant a firm grip due to the composite, but due to the inherent elasticity of the plastic construction by appropriate pressure application, these compounds can also be solved again.
- the pump housing is provided as a ready-to-mount unit with the cartridge and in this unit all relevant components are present, which are required for the operation of the dosing dispenser.
- This unit can then be completely pre-assembled in the housing during assembly. This results in the great advantage that the functionality can be tested, so to speak, outside the final state of assembly, ie before the unit is arranged in the housing. If the composite of pump housing and cartridge does not work with the pumping elements accommodated therein, then this component represents a disposable part and not the entire completely assembled metering dispenser with the housing. It is advantageous that this unit can be arranged by press fit of the pump housing in a sleeve member of the housing.
- the pump housing is immersed with a sleeve in the sleeve part of the cartridge and is secured by a latching lug on a latching shoulder of the sleeve part.
- the cartridge is relative to the pump housing in Pre-assembled position of the unit already movable, so that a review of the operation of the unit is possible at any time before mounting in the housing.
- this arrangement also results in a very simple construction with comparatively few components, which naturally facilitates assembly and production.
- the push button is in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the housing shear resistant connected to the slidably received within the dispenser housing cartridge, in particular by suitable latching and / or clip connections, so that upon actuation of the push button and the cartridge is moved to activate the pumping unit.
- the applicator is expediently arranged at one end of the housing opposite the push-button and the pump unit and the cartridge are located between these units.
- the pump unit is designed so that it has a self-closing input valve, which is formed in particular by a sleeve made of rubber-elastic and / or flexible material. If a negative pressure builds up within the pump, the valve opens, for example by lifting the collar upwards from a piston arranged underneath and thereby forming an annular gap through which material can escape upwards in the direction of the applicator.
- the pump unit also has an outlet valve, which in turn is self-closing, a spring with a closing head is expediently provided in the pump housing, wherein the spring presses the closing head on an opening of the pump housing as a compression spring and thus closes the pump unit upwards.
- the closing head is formed by a ball, a conical or conical closing body. If the cartridge is moved in the direction of the pump unit as a result of push-button movement, a pressure builds up within the pump unit due to the material, which lifts the closing head from the opening for the purpose of discharging the material.
- the cartridge can be pushed back to its original position due to a further compression spring, so that the closing head moves automatically over the prestressed compression spring back towards the opening in the pump housing and thus the pump unit after is closed again in the direction of the applicator.
- a sleeve made of rubber-elastic or flexible material is suitable, which is arranged in a protruding from the cartridge sleeve and pressed by a sleeve of the pumping unit to the cartridge.
- the diameter of the sleeve and thus the inlet valve is greater than the diameter of the sleeve, which also also forms the annular chamber of the pump unit and thus the pump cylinder.
- the push button is coupled to the cartridge via a latching connection.
- the push button on a plug-in part, on which a latching lug is formed, which is engageable with a correspondingly undercut or complementarily formed latching recess or latching shoulder of the cartridge.
- the cartridge at its lower end and the push button associated with at least one further latching projection which engages in a provided on the inner wall of the housing axial chamber, which is designed as an annular chamber.
- the locking projection may also be formed on the push button, whereby the stroke movement of the cartridge and thus due to the shear-resistant coupling and the push button is limited upwards and downwards.
- the pump unit itself is formed with a pump housing, which is composed of an upper and a lower sleeve, wherein in the upper sleeve, a compression spring is received, which is provided with a closing head and the opening of a hollow piston of the pump housing closes, which is concentric within the located lower sleeve of the pump housing and immersed in a further sleeve, which is preferably received in a sleeve part of the cartridge by press or clamping fit.
- This accommodated on the cartridge sleeve into which the piston is immersed is coupled to the pump housing via a compression spring, which also acts indirectly on the cuff of the inlet valve.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Dosierspender gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Insbesondere betrifft die Erfindung einen Ein-Komponenten-Dosierspender, mit dem ein Material bzw. eine Komponente, insbesondere über einen am Dosierspender angeordneten Applikator ausgetragen werden kann.The invention relates to a dispenser according to the preamble of
Derartige Dosierspender sind in unterschiedlichsten Ausführungsformen seit Jahren in breitem Umfang auf dem Markt und werden vornehmlich für Kosmetika verwendet, um dosiert beispielsweise Cremes, Gele und dgl. auszugeben. Diese Dosierspender werden mehr und mehr auch für andere Anwendungsfälle genutzt, insbesondere im technischen Bereich, wie etwa für Klebemittel und dgl. Es handelt sich dabei um ein typisches Massenprodukt, bei dem es in besonderer Weise einerseits auf einen einfachen Aufbau und eine leichte Herstellbarkeit ankommt und andererseits dabei gleichzeitig auch ein gutes optisches Design erzielbar sein muss, insbesondere im Hauptanwendungsfall des Kosmetikbereiches. Wie der einschlägige Stand der Technik zeigt, ist es naturgemäß schwer, all diese Forderungen unter einen Hut zu bringen.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.
Bekannte Dosierspender weisen im allgemeinen ein Dosierspendergehäuse mit einer darin fest angeordneten Kartusche für die Aufnahme des auszutragenden Materials bzw. Komponente auf sowie eine vorgesetzte Pumpeneinheit und ggf. einen Applikator. Der Austrag erfolgt standardgemäß zumeist über ein Betätigungsglied, etwa einen seitlich angesetzten Druckknopf oder einen bodenseitig vorgesehenen Stellknopf, bei dessen Betätigung ein im Spendergehäuse angeordnetes Schubgetriebe, insbesondere eine Gewindestange, gedreht wird, welche dann infolge einer translatorischen Bewegung einen am unteren Ende der Kartusche angeordneten Kolben sukzessive vorschiebt, so dass das Material aus der Kartusche ausgetragen werden kann. Es liegt auf der Hand, dass hierdurch ein apparativer Aufwand erforderlich ist, der für ein Massenprodukt letztendlich abträglich ist. Ein Nachteil dieser Dosierspender besteht aber vor allem auch darin, dass die Handhabung nicht optimal ist, weil in der Regel die Dosierung durch manuelle Betätigung des Druckknopfs oder Stellknopfs erfolgt, dann aber ein Umsetzen des Dosierspenders in der Hand erforderlich ist, um die ausgetragene Materialmenge auf die zu behandelnde Fläche aufzugeben. Auch dies ist umständlich und nachteilhaft.Known dosing dispensers generally have a dosing 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 optionally an applicator. The discharge is carried out by default usually via an actuator, such as a laterally mounted push button or a bottom side provided knob, when actuated by a arranged in the dispenser housing thrust gear, In particular, a threaded rod is rotated, which then advances successively as a result of a translational movement arranged at the lower end of the cartridge piston, 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. But 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.
Schließlich sind Dosierspender bekannt (
Schließlich ist ein Dosierspender bekannt (
Innerhalb des Pumpengehäuses, der Hülse und des Gehäusekörpers sind die Pumpenelemente aufgenommen, wobei die Betätigung der Pumpe durch einen axial verstellbaren Druckknopf erfolgt, mit dem eine Kartusche für die Aufnahme des Kosmetikmaterials axial innerhalb des Gehäusekörpers zusammen mit einem Pumpenelement verstellt wird, so dass ein Austrag von Kosmetikmaterial nach oben hin zum Applikator möglich ist.Within the pump housing, the sleeve and the housing body, the pump elements are accommodated, wherein the actuation of the pump is effected by an axially adjustable push-button, with which a cartridge for receiving the cosmetic material axially within the housing body is adjusted together with a pump element, so that a discharge of cosmetic material up to the applicator is possible.
Der Dosierspender ist aus einer Reihe vieler Einzelelemente aufgebaut, wobei insbesondere das Gehäuse in eine Vielzahl von Einzelelementen untergliedert ist. Dadurch ergibt sich insgesamt eine aufwendige Montage und Herstellung infolge der Vielzahl der benötigten Bauelemente, die zudem aufeinander abgestimmt sein müssen. Ein Nachteil, der insbesondere für eine Massenfertigung ausschlaggebend ist, besteht vor allem ferner darin, dass die Funktionsfähigkeit des Dosierspenders erst nach vollendeter Montage aller Bauelemente getestet werden kann. Funktioniert der Dosierspender nicht, so ist das komplett montierte Bauteil ein Ausschussteil.The dosing dispenser is constructed from a number of many individual elements, wherein in particular the housing is subdivided into a plurality of individual elements. This results in a total of a complex assembly and manufacturing due to the large number of components required, which must also be coordinated. A disadvantage which is particularly decisive for mass production, above all, is that the functionality of the dosing dispenser can only be tested after complete assembly of all components. If the dosing dispenser does not work, the completely assembled component is a reject part.
Im Stand der Technik sind ferner Dosierspender bekannt (
Ferner sind Dosierspender bekannt (
Wie bereits eingangs ausgeführt gibt es Dosierspender in vielfältigen Konstruktionen, die aber in der Regel aus verschiedenen Gründen noch nicht zufriedenstellend sind. Dies beruht vor allem darauf, weil es sich bei Dosierspendern um ein vergleichsweise schlankes langgestrecktes Produkt handelt, in welchem verschiedene, unterschiedliche Bauteile unterzubringen sind, nämlich in der Regel Pumpeneinheit aus Pumpzylinder, Kolben und Ventil, Applikator, Kartusche für die Aufnahme des auszutragenden Materials, Betätigungsknopf, Kappe sowie Spendergehäuse. Hier kommt es darauf an, diese verschiedenen Bauteile möglichst platzsparend und einfach über diverse Schnittstellen zusammenzustellen und dabei gleichwohl die Form der Bauteile an sich einfacher zu gestalten, so dass sie preiswert aus Kunststoff durch Spritzgießen herstellbar sind. Dies ist sehr wesentlich für die Akzeptanz dieser Dosierspender, weil für den Fall, dass die Dosierspender diesen Kriterien nicht gerecht werden, eine erfolgreiche Absetzung dieser Produkte im Markt nicht möglich ist. Darüberhinaus muss zugleich eine einfache und zuverlässige Bedienweise des Dosierspenders gewährleistet werden. Ferner sollten Vorkehrungen getroffen werden, dass ein Materialaustrag nicht versehentlich durch unachtsames Aufbewahren oder Handling des Dosierspenders erfolgt. Darüber hinaus muss ein Austrag des Materials quantitativ möglichst exakt und gleichmäßig erfolgen und soll vor allem ein Materialnachlauf ausgeschlossen sowie ein unterschiedlicher Materialaustrag bei einfachem Aufbau des Dosierspenders möglich sein. Ferner ist auch ein vergleichsweise fester Verbund zwischen den Bauteilen zur Bildung eines stabilen Dosierspenders erforderlich, so dass die Handhabung eines solchen Dosierspenders in verlässlicher Weise gewährleistet werden kann. Zugleich muss die Handhabung des Dosierspenders aber auch einfach sein, was Greifbarkeit und Betätigung betrifft. Naturgemäß ist es schwierig, all diese Kriterien unter einen Hut zu bringen, was aber erfindungsgemäß gelöst werden soll.As already mentioned, there are metering dispensers in a variety of constructions, but these are generally unsatisfactory for various reasons. This is mainly because dosing dispensers are a comparatively slender elongated product in which different, different components are to be accommodated, namely, as a rule, pump unit comprising pump cylinder, piston and valve, applicator, cartridge for receiving the material to be discharged, Operating knob, cap and dispenser housing. Here it is important to put together these different components as possible space-saving and easy over various interfaces while still making the shape of the components in itself easier, so that they are inexpensive to manufacture by injection molding of plastic. This is very important for acceptance this dosing dispenser, because in the event that the dispensers do not meet these criteria, a successful deposition of these products in the market is not possible. In addition, at the same time a simple and reliable operation of the dosing dispenser must be guaranteed. Furthermore, precautions should be taken that material discharge is not accidentally caused by careless storage or handling of the dosing dispenser. In addition, a discharge of the material must be quantitatively as accurate and uniform as possible, and above all a material after-run should be excluded and a different material discharge with a simple design of the dosing dispenser be possible. Furthermore, a relatively strong bond between the components to form a stable dosing dispenser is required, so that the handling of such a dosing dispenser can be reliably ensured. At the same time, however, the handling of the dosing dispenser must also be simple in terms of tangibility and operation. Of course, it is difficult to bring all these criteria under a hat, but which should be solved according to the invention.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die im kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruchs 1 enthaltenen Merkmale gelöst, wobei zweckmäßige Weiterbildungen der Erfindung durch die Merkmale der Unteransprüche gekennzeichnet sind.This object is achieved by the features contained in the characterizing part of
Nach Maßgabe der Erfindung weist ein Dosierspender für den Austrag von Materialien, insbesondere cremeartigem Kosmetikmaterial, ein langgestrecktes, vorzugsweise stiftartiges Spendergehäuse auf, in welchem eine längs der Achse des Spendergehäuses verschiebliche Kartusche aufgenommen ist ebenso wie eine Pumpeneinheit, ein Applikator für den Austrag des Materials und eine Betätigungseinrichtung für die Aktivierung der Pumpeinheit, die erfindungsgemäß durch einen Druckknopf gebildet ist. Dieser ist an einem Gehäuseende aufgenommen und zwar axial verschieblich in Richtung Längsachse des Gehäuses, so dass durch axiales Eindrücken des Druckknopfes in das Gehäuse die Kartusche axial gegen die Pumpeneinheit verschoben und gedrückt wird, so dass diese zum Zwecke des Materialaustrags aktiviert wird. Durch diesen Aufbau ergibt sich eine einfache Betätigung des Dosierspenders, wobei für den Auftrag des Materials keine Umsetzung in der Hand erforderlich ist, vielmehr mit der Aufnahme des Spenders in der Hand der Druckknopf beispielsweise über den Daumen axial in das Gehäuse eingedrückt und der mit den anderen Fingern der Hand umklammerte Dosierspender dann geeignet auf die Haut des Benutzers angelegt werden kann, das Material dort aufzubringen.According to the invention, a metering dispenser for the discharge of materials, in particular cream-like cosmetic material, an elongated, preferably pin-like dispenser housing, in which a along the axis of the dispenser housing displaceable cartridge is included as well as a pump unit, an applicator for the discharge of the material and an actuating device for the activation of the pump unit, which is formed according to the invention by a push button. This is accommodated at one end of the housing and axially displaceable in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the housing, so that axially displaced by axial depression of the push button in the housing, the cartridge against the pump unit and pressed, so that it is activated for the purpose of material discharge. By this construction results in a simple operation of the dosing dispenser, wherein for the order of the material no implementation in the hand is required, but rather with the recording of the dispenser in the hand of the push button, for example, via the thumb axially pressed into the housing and the other Fingers of the hand clasped dosing dispenser then suitably applied to the skin of the user can apply the material there.
Durch diese axiale Bewegung des Druckknopfes ergibt sich auch eine sensitive Dosierung durch Betätigung des Druckknopfes über einen Finger der Hand, da ein kontrollierter Druckaufbau auf den Druckknopf und damit ein entsprechender Hub der Kartusche möglich und damit ein gewünschter exakter Dosierauftrag gewährleistet wird.By this axial movement of the push button also results in a sensitive dosage by pressing the push button on a finger of the hand, as a controlled pressure build-up on the Push button and thus a corresponding stroke of the cartridge possible and thus a desired exact Dosierauftrag is guaranteed.
Nach Maßgabe der Erfindung zeichnet sich das Gehäuse des Dosierspenders als ein zentraler Tragkörper für die direkte und indirekte Halterung aller Bauteile des Dosierspenders aus, indem der Tragkörper geeignet mit entsprechenden Schnittstellenkonfigurationen versehen ist für die Aufnahme und Halterung der Bauteile des Dosierspenders, wie Pumpeinheit, Applikator, Abdeckkappe, Druckknopf und/ oder Kartusche. Als Schnittstellenkonfigurationen eignen sich Steckpasssitze, Rast- und/ oder Clipsverbindungen, die an den vorzugsweise durch Kunststoff durch Spritzgießen hergestellten Bauteilen ohne große Zusatzmaßnahmen vorzugsweise einstückig ausgebildet werden können. Es versteht sich, dass im Falle eines Steckpasssitzes die Durchmesserverhältnisse zwischen dem aufzunehmenden Bauteil, etwa Durchmesser der Steckhülse des Pumpgehäuses und Durchmesser der Aufnahmehülse des Gehäuses entsprechend auf Passsitz ausgelegt sind, wie ebenso im Falle einer Rast- und/ oder Clipsverbindung selbstverständlich Rastausnehmungen oder Rastnasen komplementär zu den Rastausbildungen am Gehäuse vorgesehen sind und umgekehrt.According to the invention, the housing of the dosing dispenser is characterized as a central supporting body for the direct and indirect mounting of all components of the dosing dispenser by the support body is suitably provided with appropriate interface configurations for receiving and holding the components of the dosing dispenser, such as pumping unit, applicator, Cover, push button and / or cartridge. Suitable interface configurations are plug-fit fits, snap-in and / or clip connections, which can preferably be formed integrally on the components which are preferably produced by plastic injection molding without any great additional measures. It is understood that in the case of a male fit the diameter ratios between the male component, such as diameter of the receptacle of the pump housing and diameter of the receiving sleeve of the housing are designed according to fit, as well as in the case of a detent and / or clip connection of course locking recesses or detents complementary are provided to the locking formations on the housing and vice versa.
Nach Maßgabe der Erfindung kann die Kartusche über die Pumpeneinheit am Gehäuse sozusagen unverlierbar gehalten sein, indem die Pumpeinheit mit Passsitz im Gehäuse aufgenommen und die Kartusche über eine Rast- und/ oder Clipsverbindung an der Pumpeneinheit aufgenommen ist. Unverlierbar im vorliegenden Sinne bedeutete einen festen Halt infolge des Verbunds, wobei jedoch aufgrund der durch die Kunststoffbauweise innewohnende Elastizität durch entsprechende Druckaufbringung diese Verbindungen auch wieder gelöst werden können.According to the invention, the cartridge can be held on the housing so to speak captive by the pump unit by the pump unit snugly received in the housing and the cartridge is received via a latching and / or clip connection to the pump unit. Captive in the present sense meant a firm grip due to the composite, but due to the inherent elasticity of the plastic construction by appropriate pressure application, these compounds can also be solved again.
Nach Maßgabe der Erfindung ist das Pumpgehäuse als eine montagefertige Einheit mit der Kartusche vorgesehen und sind in dieser Einheit alle maßgeblichen Bauelemente vorhanden, die für die Funktionsweise des Dosierspenders erforderlich sind. Diese Einheit kann dann bei der Montage komplett vormontiert in das Gehäuse eingebaut werden. Dadurch ergibt sich der große Vorteil, dass die Funktionsweise sozusagen außerhalb des endgültigen Montagezustands, also vor Anordnung der Einheit in dem Gehäuse getestet werden kann. Funktioniert der Verbund aus Pumpengehäuse und Kartusche mit den darin aufgenommenen Pumpelementen nicht, dann stellt diese Komponente ein Wegwerfteil dar und nicht der gesamte komplett montierte Dosierspender mit dem Gehäuse. Hierbei ist es vorteilhaft, dass diese Einheit durch Presssitz des Pumpengehäuses in einem Hülsenelement des Gehäuses anordbar ist. Ferner ist es in diesem Zusammenhang zweckmäßig, dass das Pumpengehäuse mit einer Hülse in das Hülsenteil der Kartusche eintaucht und über eine Rastnase an einer Rastschulter des Hülsenteils gesichert ist. Dadurch ist die Kartusche relativ zum Pumpengehäuse in vormontierter Stellung der Einheit bereits bewegbar, so dass eine Überprüfung der Funktionsweise der Einheit jederzeit vor Montage im Gehäuse möglich ist. Insgesamt resultiert aus dieser Anordnung auch ein sehr einfacher Aufbau mit vergleichsweise wenigen Bauelementen, was die Montage und die Herstellung naturgemäß erleichtert.According to the invention, the pump housing is provided as a ready-to-mount unit with the cartridge and in this unit all relevant components are present, which are required for the operation of the dosing dispenser. This unit can then be completely pre-assembled in the housing during assembly. This results in the great advantage that the functionality can be tested, so to speak, outside the final state of assembly, ie before the unit is arranged in the housing. If the composite of pump housing and cartridge does not work with the pumping elements accommodated therein, then this component represents a disposable part and not the entire completely assembled metering dispenser with the housing. It is advantageous that this unit can be arranged by press fit of the pump housing in a sleeve member of the housing. Further, it is expedient in this context that the pump housing is immersed with a sleeve in the sleeve part of the cartridge and is secured by a latching lug on a latching shoulder of the sleeve part. As a result, the cartridge is relative to the pump housing in Pre-assembled position of the unit already movable, so that a review of the operation of the unit is possible at any time before mounting in the housing. Overall, this arrangement also results in a very simple construction with comparatively few components, which naturally facilitates assembly and production.
Zweckmäßigerweise ist der Druckknopf in Richtung der Längsachse des Gehäuses schubfest mit der verschieblich innerhalb des Spendergehäuses aufgenommenen Kartusche verbunden, insbesondere durch geeignete Rast- und/ oder Clipsverbindungen, so dass bei Betätigung des Druckknopfs auch die Kartusche bewegt wird, um die Pumpeinheit zu aktivieren.Conveniently, the push button is in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the housing shear resistant connected to the slidably received within the dispenser housing cartridge, in particular by suitable latching and / or clip connections, so that upon actuation of the push button and the cartridge is moved to activate the pumping unit.
Im Sinne der erfindungsgemäßen Tragkonstellation ist zweckmäßigerweise der Applikator an einem Ende des Gehäuses gegenüberliegend dem Druckknopf angeordnet und befinden sich die Pumpeinheit und die Kartusche zwischen diesen Baueinheiten.For the purposes of the supporting constellation according to the invention, the applicator is expediently arranged at one end of the housing opposite the push-button and the pump unit and the cartridge are located between these units.
Von Vorteil ist die Pumpeinheit so ausgebildet, dass sie ein selbstschließendes Eingangsventil aufweist, welche insbesondere durch eine Manschette aus gummielastischem und/ oder flexiblem Material gebildet ist. Baut sich innerhalb der Pumpe ein Unterdruck auf, dann öffnet sich das Ventil, indem beispielsweise die Manschette von einem darunter angeordneten Kolben nach oben hin abhebt und sich dadurch ein Ringspalt bildet, über den Material nach oben in Richtung Applikator austreten kann. Zweckmäßigerweise weist die Pumpeneinheit auch ein Auslassventil auf, welches wiederum selbstschließend ist, Hierzu ist im Pumpgehäuse zweckmäßigerweise eine Feder mit einem Schließkopf vorgesehen, wobei die Feder als Druckfeder den Schließkopf auf eine Öffnung des Pumpgehäuses drückt und damit die Pumpeinheit nach obenhin abschließt. Vorzugsweise ist der Schließkopf durch eine Kugel, einen kegel- oder konusförmigen Schließkörper gebildet. Wird die Kartusche infolge Druckknopfbewegung in Richtung Pumpeinheit bewegt, baut sich innerhalb der Pumpeinheit materialbedingt ein Druck auf, der den Schließkopf von der Öffnung zum Zwecke des Materialaustrags abhebt.Advantageously, the pump unit is designed so that it has a self-closing input valve, which is formed in particular by a sleeve made of rubber-elastic and / or flexible material. If a negative pressure builds up within the pump, the valve opens, for example by lifting the collar upwards from a piston arranged underneath and thereby forming an annular gap through which material can escape upwards in the direction of the applicator. Conveniently, the pump unit also has an outlet valve, which in turn is self-closing, a spring with a closing head is expediently provided in the pump housing, wherein the spring presses the closing head on an opening of the pump housing as a compression spring and thus closes the pump unit upwards. Preferably, the closing head is formed by a ball, a conical or conical closing body. If the cartridge is moved in the direction of the pump unit as a result of push-button movement, a pressure builds up within the pump unit due to the material, which lifts the closing head from the opening for the purpose of discharging the material.
Falls Material dann ausgetragen wurde und der Druckknopf nicht länger betätigt wird, kann die Kartusche aufgrund einer weiteren Druckfeder wieder in Ihre Ausgangsstellung gedrückt werden, so dass der Schließkopf automatisch über die vorgespannte Druckfeder wieder in Richtung auf die Öffnung im Pumpengehäuse fährt und damit die Pumpeneinheit nach oben in Richtung Applikator wieder geschlossen wird.If material was then discharged and the push button is no longer actuated, the cartridge can be pushed back to its original position due to a further compression spring, so that the closing head moves automatically over the prestressed compression spring back towards the opening in the pump housing and thus the pump unit after is closed again in the direction of the applicator.
Als Einlassventil eignet sich eine Manschette aus gummielastischem oder flexiblem Material, die in einer von der Kartusche vorstehenden Hülse angeordnet und über eine Hülse der Pumpeinheit an die Kartusche gedrückt wird. Hierbei ist der Durchmesser der Manschette und damit der des Einlassventils größer als der Durchmesser der Hülse, die überdies auch die Ringkammer der Pumpeinheit und damit den Pumpzylinder bildet.As an inlet valve, a sleeve made of rubber-elastic or flexible material is suitable, which is arranged in a protruding from the cartridge sleeve and pressed by a sleeve of the pumping unit to the cartridge. Here, the diameter of the sleeve and thus the inlet valve is greater than the diameter of the sleeve, which also also forms the annular chamber of the pump unit and thus the pump cylinder.
In zweckmäßiger Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist der Druckknopf mit der Kartusche über eine Rastverbindung gekoppelt. Hierzu weist der Druckknopf ein Steckteil auf, an dem eine Rastnase ausgebildet ist, die mit einer entsprechend hinterschnittenen oder komplementär ausgebildeten Rastausnehmung oder Rastschulter der Kartusche in Eingriff bringbar ist. Ferner weist zweckmäßigerweise die Kartusche an ihrem unteren und dem Druckknopf zugeordneten Ende mindestens einen weiteren Rastvorsprung auf, der in eine an der Innenwand des Gehäuses vorgesehene Axialkammer, die als Ringkammer ausgebildet ist, eingreift. Dadurch kann ein Herausfallen von Kartusche und/ oder Druckknopf in einfacher Weise behindert werden. Wahlweise kann der Rastvorsprung auch am Druckknopf ausgebildet sein, wodurch die Hubbewegung der Kartusche und damit infolge der schubfesten Kupplung auch die des Druckknopfs nach oben und nach unten hin begrenzt wird.In an expedient development of the invention, the push button is coupled to the cartridge via a latching connection. For this purpose, the push button on a plug-in part, on which a latching lug is formed, which is engageable with a correspondingly undercut or complementarily formed latching recess or latching shoulder of the cartridge. Further, expediently, the cartridge at its lower end and the push button associated with at least one further latching projection which engages in a provided on the inner wall of the housing axial chamber, which is designed as an annular chamber. As a result, falling out of the cartridge and / or push button can be hindered in a simple manner. Optionally, the locking projection may also be formed on the push button, whereby the stroke movement of the cartridge and thus due to the shear-resistant coupling and the push button is limited upwards and downwards.
Die Pumpeinheit selbst ist mit einem Pumpgehäuse ausgebildet, welches aus einer oberen und einer unteren Hülse aufgebaut ist, wobei in der oberen Hülse eine Druckfeder aufgenommen ist, die mit einem Schließkopf versehen ist und die Öffnung eines Hohlkolbens des Pumpgehäuses verschließt, welches sich konzentrisch innerhalb der unteren Hülse des Pumpgehäuses befindet und in eine weitere Hülse eintaucht, welche in einem Hülsenteil der Kartusche vorzugsweise durch Press- oder Klemmsitz aufgenommen ist. Diese an der Kartusche aufgenommene Hülse, in die der Kolben eintaucht ist mit dem Pumpgehäuse über eine Druckfeder gekoppelt, die indirekt auch auf die Manschette des Einlassventils einwirkt. Durch diesen Aufbau ergibt sich eine selbsttätige Schließung der Ventile, einerseits durch die flexible Ausbildung der Manschette, die zwischen der unteren Hülse und der Kartusche angeordnet ist. Die beiden Federn am Pumpgehäuse, die vorzugsweise als Druckfedern ausgebildet sind, führen einerseits die Kartusche zurück und drücken den Schließkopf des oberen Auslassventils in Schließstellung.The pump unit itself is formed with a pump housing, which is composed of an upper and a lower sleeve, wherein in the upper sleeve, a compression spring is received, which is provided with a closing head and the opening of a hollow piston of the pump housing closes, which is concentric within the located lower sleeve of the pump housing and immersed in a further sleeve, which is preferably received in a sleeve part of the cartridge by press or clamping fit. This accommodated on the cartridge sleeve into which the piston is immersed is coupled to the pump housing via a compression spring, which also acts indirectly on the cuff of the inlet valve. By this construction results in an automatic closure of the valves, on the one hand by the flexible design of the sleeve, which is arranged between the lower sleeve and the cartridge. The two springs on the pump housing, which are preferably designed as compression springs, on the one hand lead back the cartridge and press the closing head of the upper exhaust valve in the closed position.
Erfindungsgemäß ist der Dosierspender mit einer Stelleinrichtung versehen, die es erlaubt, den Spender in einer Sperrstellung zu verriegeln, ohne dass durch versehentliche Betätigung des Druckknopfs ein Materialaustrag erfolgen kann und in mindestens eine Funktionsposition zu überführen, in welcher bei Betätigung des Druckknopfs Material ausgetragen werden kann,und in mehrere Funktionspositionen, so dass ein unterschiedlich dosierter Materialaustrag über den Spender möglich ist, je nachdem in welche Funktionsposition der Spender eingestellt ist.According to the dosing dispenser is provided with an adjusting device which allows to lock the dispenser in a blocking position without material removal can take place by accidental operation of the push button and to transfer into at least one functional position in which material can be discharged upon actuation of the push button , and in several functional positions, so that a differently metered material discharge via the dispenser is possible, depending on which functional position the dispenser is set.
Erfindungsgemäß weist hierzu die Stelleinrichtung mindestens eine an der Kartusche, insbesondere an der vorstehenden Kartuschenhülse angeordnete und radial nach außen hin vorspringende Nase auf und ist an der Innenwand der die Kartusche aufnehmenden Gehäuses eine mit der Nase zusammenwirkende Anschlageinrichtung vorgesehen, so dass je nach Drehstellung der Kartusche die Anschlageinrichtung eine Hubstellung der Kartusche begrenzt. Darunter ist natürlich auch die Hubstellung 0 zu verstehen, was in der Sperrstellung erfolgt, da dann die Kartusche mit ihrer Nase gegen einen Anschlag der Anschlageinrichtung am Gehäuse anliegt, so dass der mit der Kartusche schubfest gekoppelte Druckknopf nicht eingedrückt werden kann, mithin kein Materialaustrag erfolgen kann. Durch eine Drehung des Druckknopfs bzw. der Kartusche kann dann ein Hub erfolgen, der nach einer weiteren Fortbildung der Erfindung infolge abgestufter Anschläge stufenartig dosiert sein kann. Hierbei ist je nach Ausbildung der Anschläge sogar eine stufenlose Dosierung möglich. Für die unterschiedliche Dosierung weist erfindungsgemäß die Anschlageinrichtung mehrere Anschläge auf, so dass neben der Sperrstellung der Kartusche ohne einen Hub mehrere unterschiedlich lange Hübe der Kartusche in Richtung auf die Pumpeneinheit ermöglicht sind. Anstelle einer Nase an der Kartusche können jedoch auch mehrere Nasen vorgesehen sein, wobei insbesondere die Ausbildung zweier diametral gegenüberliegender Nasen an der Kartusche, insbesondere an der von der Kartusche nach oben vorstehenden Hülse geeignet sind.According to the invention for this purpose, the adjusting device has at least one arranged on the cartridge, in particular on the protruding cartridge sleeve and radially outwardly projecting nose and is provided on the inner wall of the cartridge receiving housing a cooperating with the nose stop means, so that depending on the rotational position of the cartridge the stop device limits a stroke position of the cartridge. Including, of course, the stroke position to understand 0, which takes place in the locked position, since then the cartridge rests with its nose against a stop of the stopper on the housing, so that the push-button coupled to the cartridge push button can not be pressed, thus no material discharge done can. By a rotation of the push button or the cartridge, a stroke can then take place, which can be metered stepwise according to a further development of the invention as a result of graduated stops. Here, depending on the design of the attacks even a continuous metering possible. For the different dosage according to the invention, the stop device has several Stops on, so that in addition to the blocking position of the cartridge without a hub several different lengths strokes of the cartridge are made possible in the direction of the pump unit. Instead of a nose on the cartridge, however, several lugs may be provided, in particular the formation of two diametrically opposite lugs on the cartridge, in particular on the cartridge upwardly projecting sleeve are suitable.
Allerdings liegt im Rahmen der Erfindung auch die umgekehrte Anordnung, das heißt Ausbildung der Nase bzw. der Nasen am Gehäuse und die Ausbildung der Anschlageinrichtung an der Kartusche selbst.However, in the context of the invention, the reverse arrangement, that is training the nose or noses on the housing and the formation of the stop device on the cartridge itself.
Die jeweilige Einstellung in Sperrstellung oder Funktionsstellung erfolgt zweckmäßigerweise durch Drehung des Drehknopfes, welcher vorteilhaft drehfest mit der Kartusche über eine geeignete Kupplungseinrichtung, insbesondere Rastnaseneingriff, verbunden ist.The respective setting in blocking position or functional position is expediently carried out by rotation of the rotary knob, which is advantageously non-rotatably connected to the cartridge via a suitable coupling device, in particular latching nose engagement.
In besonders zweckmäßigerweise ist vorgesehen, dass die verschiedenen Stellpositionen des Drehknopfs und damit der Kartusche verrastbar sind, so dass sich eine exakte Einstellung der Sperrstellung oder der Funktionsstellung bzw. der Funktionsstellungen vornehmen lässt. Verrastung bedeutet hierbei, dass durch entsprechenden Drehdruck bzw. Drehmomentauftragung auf den Druckknopf die Rastposition zur Veränderung der Stellposition lösbar ist, so dass der Druckknopf und damit die Kartusche auf eine gewünschte andere Stellposition für einen gewünschten Hub einstellbar ist.In a particularly expedient manner, it is provided that the various setting positions of the rotary knob and thus of the cartridge can be latched, so that an exact adjustment of the blocking position or the functional position or the functional positions can be made. Locking in this case means that the latching position for changing the adjustment position can be released by appropriate rotational pressure or torque application to the push button, so that the push button and thus the cartridge is adjustable to a desired other position for a desired stroke.
Zum Zwecke dieser Verrastung sind zweckmäßigerweise Rastglieder am Druckknopf vorgesehen, insbesondere mit kugel-kalottenförmigen Rastvorsprüngen, wobei das Gehäuse im unteren Bereich komplementär entsprechende Rastausnehmungen aufweist, in welche die Rastglieder am Druckknopf eingreifen können. Infolge der Ausbildung der Bauteile des Dosierspenders, insbesondere des Gehäuses und der Kartusche sowie des Druckknopfes aus einem thermoplastischem Kunststoff durch Spritzgießen, lässt sich die unterschiedliche Einstellung in die Rastpositionen aufgrund der dem Material innewohnende Elastizität ohne weiteres durch entsprechenden Druck vornehmen.For the purpose of this latching locking members are expediently provided on the push button, in particular with ball dome-shaped locking projections, wherein the housing in the lower region complementary corresponding recesses, in which the locking members can engage the push button. As a result of the formation of the components of the metering dispenser, in particular of the housing and the cartridge and the push button of a thermoplastic material by injection molding, the different setting in the locking positions due to the inherent elasticity of the material can be easily made by appropriate pressure.

Der Dosierspender nach den
Die Kartusche für die Aufnahme des Materials ergibt sich in perspektivischer Ansicht aus
Das Pumpengehäuse 7 weist einen oberen Hülsenabschnitt 8 auf, in welchem eine zweckmäßigerweise ebenfalls aus Kunststoff gebildete Feder 9 aufgenommen ist, an deren unteren Ende ein Verschlussglied als Ventil 10 vorgesehen ist. Dieses kann bedarfsweise einstückig mit der Feder 9 ausgebildet sein und verschließt eine Öffnung 11 des Pumpengehäuses 7, an die sich ein nach unten erstreckender Hohlkolben anschließt, der vorzugsweise einstückiger Bestandteil des Pumpengehäuses 7 ist. Zweckmäßigerweise ist das Pumpengehäuse 7 mit seinem Hülsenabschnitt 8 mit Stecksitz an einem Hülsenelement 30 an einer vom Gehäuse 1 nach Innen vorstehenden Ringschulter aufgenommen und zwar vorzugsweise über einen Presssitz.The
Das Pumpengehäuse 7 weist ferner eine vorzugsweise einstückig angeformte und sich nach unten erstreckende Hülse 13 auf, die mit dem Hohlkolben 12 eine Ringkammer für die Aufnahme einer Druckfeder 14 begrenzt. Der Hohlkolben 12 taucht entsprechend den Darstellungen in den
Die Hülse 15 und der Ringflansch 16 sind in einem nach oben vorstehenden Hülsenteil 18 der Kartusche 4 angeordnet und zwar vorzugsweise mit Presssitz des Ringflansches 16 in der vorstehenden Kartuschenhülse 18 und liegen an einer Manschette 20 aus vorzugsweise gummielastischem Material an bzw. auf. Zweckmäßigerweise und hier handelt es sich um ein eigenständiges Konstruktionsprinzip, wird die Hülse 15 innerhalb des Hülsenteils 18 der Kartusche durch einen geeigneten Rastverbund gehalten, wie am Besten aus
In der dargestellten Variante nach den
Wie aus den
Wie aus den
Der Applikator 6 ist ebenfalls aus Kunststoff durch Spritzgießen hergestellt und an sich bekannter Bauart sowie mit Passsitz innerhalb einer sich nach oben erstreckenden Hülse 41 des Gehäuses 1 eingesteckt und in Folge des Passsitzes dort press gehalten. Darüber ist der Deckel 2 gestülpt und ebenfalls zweckmäßigerweise über einen Rast- und/ oder Clipsverbund gegenüber der nach oben vorspringenden Hülse 41 des Gehäuses 1 gehalten, wie aus den
Infolge dieses Aufbaus ergibt sich die Funktionsweise des Dosierspenders wie folgt:
Bei manuellem Eindrücken des Druckknopfes 3 in Richtung des Gehäuses 1 nach oben wird auch die Kartusche nach oben zur Pumpeinheit bewegt, wodurch auch die Hülse 15 innerhalb des Hülsenteils 18 der Kartusche zwangsweise nach oben fahrt und damit sich die durch diese Hülse 15 und den darin eintauchenden Hohlkolben 12 begrenzte Ringkammer 17sich volumenmäßig verkleinert, bzw. der Hohlkolben 12 sozusagen relativ in den Ringkammerraum bzw. Pumpzylinder 17 einfährt. Gleichzeitig wird die Feder 14 zusammengedrückt und unter Vorspannung gesetzt. Lässt man den Druckknopf 3 dann los, so wird in Folge der Federwirkung 14 die Kartusche und auch der Druckknopf 3 nach unten gefahren, wodurch sich zwangsläufig innerhalb der Ringkammer 17 ein Unterdruck aufbaut. Infolge des Unterdrucks öffnet sich die Manschette 20 und strömt somit Material aus der Kartusche 4 aus und dringt in die Ringkammer 17 ein. Bei erneuter Betätigung des Druckknopfes 3 nach oben und dadurch bedingten Verschieben der Kartusche 4 in Richtung des Applikators bzw. der Pumpeneinheit 5 baut sich ein Druck innerhalb der sich verkleinernden Ringkammer 17 auf, so dass schließlich die Federvorspannung der Feder 9 überwunden wird und der Schließkopf 10 der Feder sich von der Öffnung 11 abhebt, mithin das Ventil öffnet und das Material über die Öffnung 11 über den Hohlkolben 12 in Richtung Applikator nach außen ausgetragen wird. Durch diese Druckknopfbetätigung erfolgt ein Pumphub mit entsprechendem Materialaustrag. Wird der Druckknopf wieder losgelassen, fährt infolge der Federvorspannung die Kartusche nach unten und es baut sich wiederum einen Unterdruck in der Ringkammer 17 auf, die demnach wiederum mit Material aus der Kartusche gefüllt wird. Gleichzeitig fährt auch mit jedem Pumpenhub der Kolben 32 nach bis schließlich schlussendlich die Kartusche 4 vollständig geleert ist.As a result of this structure, the operation of the dosing dispenser follows as follows:
When manually pushing the
Das heißt, durch einfache Betätigung des Druckknopfes in Richtung der Längsachse des Spendergehäuses erfolgt ein dosierter Materialaustrag in zuverlässiger und sicherer Weise über den Applikator Um schließlich ein unbeabsichtigtes Betätigen des Druckknopfes 3 und damit einen versehentlichen Materialaustrag zu vermeiden, kann die Variante nach den
Korrespondierend mit den Nasen 44 sind, wie am Besten aus den
In der Darstellung nach
Wird allerdings der Druckknopf 3 um einen vorbestimmten Winkel in einer Richtung weg von der Anschlagschulter 47 der Wand 50 gedreht und damit auch die Kartusche 4 innerhalb des Gehäuses 1 infolge eines vorgesehenen Formschlusses bzw. Drehfestverbindung zwischen Druckknopf 3 und Kartusche 4 dann gelangen beide Nasen 44 aus Eingriff mit den Sperranschlägen, so dass in dieser Drehstellung des Knopfes und der Kartusche 4 der Druckknopf nach oben gedrückt und damit die Kartusche 4 nach oben gegen die Pumpeinheit 7 zum Zwecke des Materialaustrags gefahren werden kann. Für den drehfesten Verbund zwischen Kartusche und Druckknopf 3 eignet sich jede Eingriffsverbindung, wie etwa nach dem Feder/ Nut-Prinzip oder dergleichen.However, if the
Zweckmäßigerweise kann die Verriegelungsstellung und die Funktionsstellung, das heißt die Pumpstellung bzw. Hubstellung der Kartusche entsprechend am Spendergehäuse 1 von außen her für den Bediener angezeigt werden, was durch geeignete Mittel erfolgen kann, wie etwa eine Skalierung, ein Sichtfenster oder dergleichen.Conveniently, the locking position and the functional position, that is, the pumping or lifting position of the cartridge can be displayed according to the
Dadurch ist in einfacher Weise gewährleistet, dass eine unabsichtliche Betätigung des Dosierspenders nicht möglich ist, so dass eine zweckmäßige Sicherheitsmaßnahme gegen ein versehentliches Austragen des Materials gewährleistet ist.
Aus den
Selbstverständlich liegt es im Rahmen der Erfindung geeignete andere Festlegungen zwischen Drehknopf und Kartusche vorzunehmen ebenso wie beispielsweise auch eine umgekehrte Anordnung des Treppenaufbaus in Zusammenmerkung mit den Nasen 44 und der Kartusche möglich ist, das heißt die gestufte Treppenwand an der Kartusche und die Nasen 44 am Gehäuse, das heißt an dessen Innenwand, vorgesehen sein können. Selbstverständlich ist auch jede andere geeignete Betätigungseinrichtung für die Verriegelung und Überführung der Kartusche in die Funktionsstellung für den Materialaustrag möglich anstelle der beschriebenen Anschläge in Verbindung mit den Nasen 44.Of course, it is within the scope of the invention to make appropriate provisions between the knob and cartridge as well as, for example, a reverse arrangement of the stairway construction in conjunction with the
Die
Hierzu weist das Gehäuse 1 einen mehrfach abgestuften Treppenwandaufbau 58 mit mehreren Anschlägen 60, 62, 64 und 66 und entsprechenden seitlichen Anschlagsschultern 61, 63, 65 und 67 mit einer Wirkungsweise analog zu der bereits beschriebenen Variante auf, wie am Besten aus den
Dadurch ergeben sich unterschiedlich lange Hübe und damit unterschiedlich dosierte Auftragsmengen, so dass je nach Drehstellung des Druckknopfes 3 und der damit drehfest verbundenen Kartusche 4 eine Feindosierung entsprechend des Wunsches des Kunden möglich ist. Beispielsweise wäre es möglich, einen hundertprozentigen Hub, etwa entsprechender einer realen Ausführungsform eines Spenders mit einer Hublänge von 5mm vorzunehmen und dann schließlich einen Hub von 75%, 50% und beispielsweise 25%, je nach Drehstellung so dass sich entsprechend abgestuft geringere Auftragsmengen je nach Stellung der Anschlagnasen 44 gegenüber den Anschlagflächen 60 bis 66 ergeben.This results in different lengths of strokes and thus different amounts of application quantities, so that depending on the rotational position of the
Die Einstellung bzw. Ausrichtung der Nasen 44 auf die geeigneten Anschlagflächen 60 bis 66 erfolgt wiederum durch eine entsprechende Drehung des Drehknopfes 3, wobei die gewünschte Hubposition durch eine Skalierung oder dergleichen Kennzeichnungsmittel zweckmäßigerweise überdas Spendergehäuse angezeigt werden kann.The adjustment or alignment of the
Nach einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausgestaltung können die einzelnen Drehstellungen verrastet werden, wozu beispielsweise, wie in den
Ein entsprechendes Ausführungsbeispiel eines solchen Druckknopfes ist in den
Selbstverständlich sind die beschriebenen Bauteile und Konstruktionselemente nicht auf die hier beschriebene Pumpeneinheit beschränkt, vielmehr lassen sich diese auch bei anderen Pumpeinheiten verwirklichen. Obgleich das Gehäuse, die Kartusche und die weiteren zugehörigen Bauteile im Wesentlichen zylindrisch ausgeführt sind, insbesondere mit kreiszylindrischem Querschnitt, liegt es im Rahmen der Erfindung auch andere Querschnitte, etwa polygonale Querschnitte und eckige Profile zu verwenden. Im Ergebnis ergibt sich jedoch ein schlanker und bequem handhabbarer Dosierspender, der eine präzise Zumessung des auszutragenden Materials erlaubt und zwar bei gleichwohl sehr einfachen Bauteilen des Dosierspenders, die sich durch Steckverbindungen sehr schnell zum Dosierspender verbinden lassen.Of course, the components and construction elements described are not limited to the pump unit described here, but they can be realized in other pumping units. Although the housing, the cartridge and the other associated components are designed to be substantially cylindrical, in particular with a circular cylindrical cross-section, it is within the scope of the invention, other cross-sections, to use about polygonal cross-sections and polygonal profiles. As a result, however, results in a slim and easy to handle dosing dispenser, which allows a precise metering of the material to be discharged and although very simple components of the dosing dispenser, which can be very quickly connected by connectors to the dosing dispenser.

Vorteilhaft ist, dass die Bauteile des Dosierspenders aus Kunststoff durch Spritzgießen herstellbar sind und die vorgesehenen Sicherungsmaßnahmen bzw. Hubeinstellungen im Prinzip keine zusätzlichen Bauteile benötigen, vielmehr an den vorhandenen Grundbauteilen ohne Weiteres ausgebildet werden können. Dadurch ergibt sich auch ein für eine Massenfertigung derartiger Dosierspender vorteilhafter Aufbau. Zugleich ist eine einfache Montage der Bauteile zur Bildung des Dosierspenders gewährleistet.It is advantageous that the components of the metering dispenser made of plastic can be produced by injection molding and the proposed safety measures or stroke settings in principle require no additional components, but can be easily formed on the existing basic components. This also results in an advantageous for mass production of such dosing dispenser construction. At the same time a simple assembly of the components to form the Dosierspenders is guaranteed.
Tritt im Pumpenzylinder 42 ein Unterdruck auf, dann hebt sich der Rand der Manschettenöffnung 22 leicht nach oben hin an, d.h. wird nach oben hin gebogen, sodass zwischen dem Kolben 80 und der Manschettenöffnung 22 ein Ringspalt gebildet wird, der den Austrag des Materials aus der unter dem Kolben 80 angeordneten Kartusche über diesen Ringspalt nach oben hin zum Pumpenzylinder 42 ermöglicht.Occurs in the pump cylinder 42, a negative pressure, then the edge of the
Hierbei handelt es sich nur um eine zweckmäßige Ausbildung eines solchen Einlassventils, wobei es selbstverständlich ist, dass auch andere geeignete Ventilaufbauten Anwendung finden können. Insofern ist das dargestellte Ausführungsbeispiel keinesfalls einschränkend zu betrachten.This is only an expedient embodiment of such an inlet valve, it being understood that other suitable valve assemblies may be used. In this respect, the illustrated embodiment is by no means limiting.
