Definitions

  • the invention relates to a protective cap for a dispenser and a dispensing device, comprising a dispenser for dispensing pharmaceutical and / or cosmetic liquids.
  • a dispenser for dispensing pharmaceutical and / or cosmetic liquids.
  • Such a dispenser comprises a liquid reservoir and an outlet opening through which the liquid can be discharged into a surrounding atmosphere, as well as the protective cap.
  • the liquid reservoir liquid will be promoted for discharge in the direction of the outlet opening, which can be done via many different mechanisms.
  • the liquid reservoir may be formed as a squeeze bottle, the content of which can be pressurized by deformation of the walls. Also, a separate pumping device is used.
  • Dispensers with generic protective caps are known from the prior art, for example DE 10 2011 086 755 A1 known.
  • the dispenser comprises an outlet channel and a pressure-dependent opening or manually operable outlet valve arranged in the outlet channel, the outlet valve closing the outlet channel in the closed state.
  • the outlet valve divides the outlet channel into a first partial section and a second partial section, wherein the second partial section extends adjacent to the outlet opening in the direction of the liquid reservoir.
  • the second portion corresponds to a drop formation surface at the exit opening.
  • the exhaust valve results in that after closing it no liquid, which has passed into a portion of the outlet channel on a side facing away from the liquid reservoir side of the outlet valve or which is left in the vicinity of the outlet opening outside the outlet channel, sucked back into the dispenser can be. A possible contamination of the contents of the liquid reservoir by liquid residues that have been sucked back is thereby prevented. The residual liquid therefore remains in an externally accessible area. Upon contact with the atmosphere, the residual liquid dries quickly.
  • EP 0 816 283 A1 and EP 0 339 336 A1 describe examples of protective caps with openings on the ceiling, which are closed by means of removable seal to protect their cap interior against contamination from the outside.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a protective cap for a dispenser, which allows rapid drying and in which the problem of penetration of microorganisms is mitigated into the protective cap.
  • the object of the invention is further to provide a discharge device comprising a dispenser with a corresponding protective cap available.
  • a protective cap for a dispenser for dispensing pharmaceutical and / or cosmetic liquids having a liquid reservoir and an outlet opening through which the liquid can be dispensed into a surrounding atmosphere, and wherein the protective cap is at least a vent opening for communicating an interior with an external environment, and on the cap an irreversibly removable, the at least one vent opening covering the sealing element is arranged, through which the at least one vent opening before a first use air and is sealed germ-tight.
  • the sealing element is formed as molded on the protective cap Abziehlasche.

  • the sealing element is formed as molded on the protective cap Abziehlasche.
  • the sealing element By means of the sealing element, germ introduction into an interior of the protective cap via the at least one ventilation opening is prevented from being used for the first time, without having to take special precautions for storage, transport, etc. for this purpose. In other words, it is prevented by the sealing element that deposit before the first use during storage, during transport, etc. over time on the dispenser and in the interior of the cap germs. Before or after a first use, the sealing element is removed to allow for a subsequent use, a rapid drying of the residual liquid. Due to a short time of use of the donor is a possible possible germ entry after receiving the first use usually not critical.
  • germs are understood as meaning all microbial pathogens, in particular bacteria and viruses.
  • a germ-free and airtight closure is a seal in which the leak rate is less than or equal to 10 -6 mbar l / s when the dispenser is stored under normal or standard conditions.
  • a check of the germ-tightness takes place, for example, according to DIN 58953.
  • the sealing element is designed such that the requirements of the standards DIN EN ISO 11607 and / or DIN EN ISO 11868 are met.
  • the dispenser is particularly suitable for unpreserved ophthalmics.
  • the dispenser has an outlet channel, which connects the liquid reservoir to the outlet opening, and a pressure-dependent opening or manually operable outlet valve, wherein the outlet valve is arranged in the outlet channel and closes the outlet channel in a closed state.
  • the outlet valve prevents penetration of germs into the liquid reservoir.
  • the outlet valve is preferably a pressure-dependent opening outlet valve, which is opened by pressurizing the liquid in the liquid reservoir or a partial charge removed therefrom and automatically closes again as soon as the corresponding overpressure relative to the environment is eliminated. In principle, however, other types of valves can be used here.
  • the liquid in the liquid reservoir is permanently under pressure and the handling of the dispenser via a handle, whose manual operation opens the outlet valve.
  • the outlet valve prevents a sucked back liquid in the liquid reservoir.
  • the at least one ventilation opening on the protective cap causes a rapid drying of this residual liquid.
  • the pull tab is an integral part of the protective cap with this produced. Additional assembly or other manufacturing steps can thus be omitted.
  • the pull tab is coupled in one embodiment with a tamper-evident seal, so that a particularly simple handling for a user is given.
  • the protective cap comprises a cylindrical portion and a lid portion connected thereto, wherein the at least one ventilation opening is provided on the cylindrical portion and / or on the lid portion.
  • the cylindrical portion has in one embodiment on its inner wall a latching geometry for latching with the dispenser and / or a clamping area contacting the dispenser. If the at least one ventilation opening is provided on the cylindrical section, the area of the ventilation opening preferably does not coincide with the area of the latching geometry or the clamping area.
  • the ventilation openings are arranged in a region which is arranged in use of the protective cap substantially in the region of the outlet opening of the dispenser.

Subsequently, walls of the container body 20 are compressed to the liquid 4 in the liquid reservoir 21 with to pressurize. This pressure causes opening of the exhaust valve 25. More specifically, as soon as the fluid pressure in a portion of the exhaust passage 23 upstream of the exhaust valve 25 is sufficiently high, the valve body 27 is displaced by this pressure against the force of the return spring 26 and provides the path for the liquid in Direction of the outlet opening 24 free.
