Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Reinigungsmittel-Spender.The invention relates to a detergent dispenser.

Bei einem solchen Reinigungsmittel kann es sich beispielsweise um ein Gel handeln, das eine pastöse Form aufweist und beispielsweise durch einen Applikator an die Innenseite einer Toilettenschüssel angebracht werden kann, um so eine Reinigung oder Desinfektion der Toilette zu erreichen. Ein derartiger Applikator bzw. eine derartige Dosiervorrichtung ist bekannt aus EP 2361850 B1 .Such a cleaning agent may, for example, be a gel which has a paste-like form and can be attached, for example by an applicator, to the inside of a toilet bowl so as to achieve a cleaning or disinfection of the toilet. Such an applicator or such a metering device is known from EP 2361850 B1 ,

Nachteilig an einer derartigen Dosiervorrichtung ist, dass durch sie lediglich ein einziges Reinigungsmittel verwendet werden kann. Somit wird dieses einzige Reinigungsmittel auch nur eine einzige Farbe aufweisen können.A disadvantage of such a metering device is that only a single cleaning agent can be used by it. Thus, this single detergent will also have a single color.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen Reinigungsmittelspender bereitzustellen, durch den beim Applizieren des Reinigungsmittels ein besonderer optischer Effekt beim Benutzer hervorgerufen werden kann.The object of the invention is to provide a detergent dispenser, by the application of the cleaning agent, a special visual effect can be caused in the user.

Die Lösung der Aufgabe erfolgt erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1.The object is achieved according to the invention by the features of claim 1.

Der erfindungsgemäße Reinigungsmittelspender weist mindestens zwei Aufnahmezylinder auf, die jeweils mit einem unterschiedlichen Reinigungsmittel gefüllt sind. Bevorzugt sind mindestens zwei Aufnahmezylinder mit jeweils einem Reinigungsmittel mit unterschiedlicher Farbe gefüllt.The detergent dispenser according to the invention has at least two receiving cylinders which are each filled with a different cleaning agent. Preferably, at least two receiving cylinders are each filled with a cleaning agent of different color.

Die Aufnahmezylinder weisen je ein offenes Ende und eine diesem gegenüber liegende Ausgabeöffnung zur Ausgabe der Reinigungsmittels auf.The receiving cylinder each have an open end and a discharge opening opposite thereto for dispensing the cleaning agent.

Der erfindungsgemäße Reinigungsmittelspender weist ferner mindestens zwei Kolben zum axialen Einführen in das erste offene Ende jeweils eines Aufnahmezylinders auf. Beim Einführen der mindestens zwei Kolben in die mindestens zwei Aufnahmezylinder erfolgt ein Verdrängen des in dem jeweiligen Aufnahmezylinder befindlichen Reinigungsmittels und ein Herauspressen des Reinigungsmittels aus der Ausgabeöffnung.The detergent dispenser according to the invention further comprises at least two pistons for axial insertion into the first open end of a respective receiving cylinder. When the at least two pistons are inserted into the at least two receiving cylinders, the cleaning agent located in the respective receiving cylinder is displaced and the cleaning agent is forced out of the dispensing opening.

Erfindungsgemäß weist der Reinigungsmittelspender ein sich in distaler Richtung in seinem Querschnitt verjüngendes Konfusorelement auf, das distal der Ausgabeöffnungen der Aufnahmezylinder angeordnet ist. Ferner weist der Reinigungsmittelspender eine sich hieran distal anschließende im Querschnitt zylindrische Ausgabedüse zur Ausgabe des Reinigungsmittels auf. Ein Element, das erfindungsgemäß distal angeordnet sein soll, befindet sich in Fließrichtung des Reinigungsmittels hinter einem proximal angeordneten Element. Die zylindrische Ausgabedüse ist somit das am weitesten distal angeordnete Element des erfindungsgemäßen Reinigungsmittelspenders.According to the invention, the detergent dispenser has a confuser element which tapers in the distal direction in its cross-section and which is arranged distally of the dispensing openings of the receiving cylinder. Furthermore, the detergent dispenser has a dispensing nozzle, which adjoins this in a distal direction in a cross-section and is cylindrical, for dispensing the cleaning agent. An element which according to the invention is to be arranged distally is located behind a proximally arranged element in the direction of flow of the cleaning agent. The cylindrical dispensing nozzle is thus the most distal element of the detergent dispenser according to the invention.

Erfindungsgemäß ist es somit möglich, in den mindestens zwei Aufnahmezylindern Reinigungsmittel mit unterschiedlichen Farben oder auch unterschiedlichen Reinigungseigenschaften aufzunehmen. Beispielsweise kann eines der Reinigungsmittel vorwiegend eine Reinigungswirkung aufweisen, während ein anderes Reinigungsmittel vorwiegend eine Duftwirkung entfalten kann. Somit ist es möglich, mindestens zwei verschiedene Reinigungsmittel, die zum Beispiel unterschiedliche Farben und/oder unterschiedliche Reinigungungs-/Dufteigenschaften aufweisen mit einem einzigen Appliziervorgang mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Reinigungsmittelspender zu applizieren. Das Vorsehen von mehreren Spendern, um Reinigungsmittel mit verschiedenen Eigenschaften zu applizieren ist nicht notwendig. Auch kann mit einem einzigen Appliziervorgang ein besonderer optischer Effekt erreicht werden.According to the invention it is thus possible to include in the at least two receiving cylinders detergent with different colors or different cleaning properties. For example, one of the cleaning agents may predominantly have a cleaning effect, while another cleaning agent may develop a predominantly odor effect. Thus, it is possible to have at least two different cleaning agents, which, for example, different colors and / or different cleaning / fragrance properties have to apply with a single application process with the detergent dispenser according to the invention. The provision of multiple dispensers to apply detergents with different properties is not necessary. Also, a single optical effect can be achieved with a single application.

Dieser besondere optische Effekt besteht darin, dass die mindestens zwei unterschiedlichen Reinigungsmittel die zylindrische Ausgabedüse ebenfalls in zylindrischer Form verlassen werden und somit beispielsweise die Form eines Strangprofils aufweisen können, wenn sie auf einen Gegenstand, beispielsweise die Innenseite einer Toilettenschüssel appliziert werden. Hierdurch lassen sich interessante optische Effekte erzielen. Beispielsweise kann durch eine Kombination von Reinigungsmittel mit gewissen Farben eine bestimmte Wirkung beim Benutzer erzielt werden, da ein Benutzer verschiedene Farben von Reinigungsmitteln mit unterschiedlichen Eigenschaften assoziiert und gewisse Farbkombinationen somit als besonders positiv wahrgenommen werden und somit verkaufsfördernd sein können. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung ist es möglich, derartige Farbkombinationen mit einem einzigen Reinigungsspender zu applizieren.This particular optical effect consists in that the at least two different cleaning agents also leave the cylindrical dispensing nozzle in a cylindrical shape and thus can, for example, have the shape of an extruded profile when applied to an object, for example the inside of a toilet bowl. As a result, interesting optical effects can be achieved. For example, a combination of detergents with certain colors may provide a certain user effect, since a user associates different colors of detergents with different properties, and thus certain color combinations may be perceived as being particularly positive and thus promoting sales. By the device according to the invention it is possible to apply such color combinations with a single cleaning dispenser.

Ein wesentlicher Vorteil des erfindungsgemäßen Reinigungsmittelspenders ist, dass es möglich ist, das Reinigungsmittel in einer genau definierten geometrischen Form zu applizieren, unabhängig davon, wie viel Reinigungsmittel aus der zylindrischen Ausgabedüse herausgepresst wird. Wird beispielsweise eine größere Menge an Reinigungsmittel aus der zylindrischen Ausgabedüse herausgepresst, so führt dies lediglich dazu, dass die Länge des herausgepressten Reinigungsmittelstrangprofils vergrößert wird. Die grundsätzlichen geometrischen Eigenschaften des Strangprofils bleiben jedoch erhalten.A significant advantage of the detergent dispenser according to the invention is that it is possible to apply the detergent in a well-defined geometric shape, regardless of how much detergent is pressed out of the cylindrical dispensing nozzle. If, for example, a larger amount of cleaning agent is pressed out of the cylindrical dispensing nozzle, this merely results in that the length of the extruded detergent extruded profile is increased. However, the basic geometric properties of the extruded profile are retained.

Das erfindungsgemäße Konfusorelement dient dazu einen Übergang zu schaffen zwischen dem relativ großen Gesamtquerschnitt der mindestens zwei Aufnahmezylinder und dem verglichen hierzu kleineren Querschnitt der zylindrischen Ausgabedüse. Hierzu ist das sich verjüngende Konfusorelement zwischen den Aufnahmezylindern und der zylindrischen Ausgabedüse angeordnet und verjüngt sich somit beginnend an seinem proximalen Ende vom Gesamtquerschnitt aller Aufnahmezylinder zu seinem distalen Ende hin bis hin zum Querschnitt der zylindrischen Ausgabedüse.The confuser element according to the invention serves to create a transition between the relatively large overall cross section of the at least two receiving cylinders and the compared to this smaller cross section of the cylindrical dispensing nozzle. For this purpose, the tapered Konfusorelement between the receiving cylinders and the cylindrical dispensing nozzle is arranged and thus tapers, starting at its proximal end of the total cross section of all receiving cylinder to its distal end through to the cross section of the cylindrical dispensing nozzle.

Es ist wichtig, dass die Ausgabedüse einen zylindrischen Querschnitt aufweist, um eine unkontrolliertes Vermischen der unterschiedlichen Reinigungsmittel, die aus den mindestens zwei Aufnahmezylindern in den Konfusor treten, zu verhindern und anstelle dessen zu erreichen, dass die verschiedenen Reinigungsmittel klar voneinander getrennt in einem in seinen geometrischen Eigenschaften klar definierten Strangprofil aus der Ausgabedüse heraustreten. Nur so können die besonderen optischen Eigenschaften des Reinigungsmittel-Strangs erreicht werden.It is important that the dispensing nozzle has a cylindrical cross-section to prevent uncontrolled mixing of the different detergents entering the confuser from the at least two receiving cylinders, and instead to cause the various detergents to be clearly separated from one another in one geometric properties clearly defined extruded profile emerge from the dispensing nozzle. Only in this way can the special optical properties of the cleaning agent strand be achieved.

Es ist bevorzugt, dass der sich verjüngende Teil des Konfusors eine minimale axiale Länge von 2 mm aufweist.It is preferable that the tapered part of the confuser has a minimum axial length of 2 mm.

Weiterhin ist es bevorzugt, dass die zylindrische Ausgabedüse eine minimale axiale Länge von mindestens 2 mm aufweist.Furthermore, it is preferred that the cylindrical dispensing nozzle has a minimum axial length of at least 2 mm.

Es ist ferner bevorzugt, dass der Konfusor und die zylindrische Ausgabedüse einstückig ausgebildet sind. Weiterhin können sie von den Aufnahmezylindern abnehmbar sein. Hierzu kann beispielsweise das Konfusorelement beispielsweise an seinem proximalen Ende einen umlaufenden Befestigungsansatz aufweisen, der beispielsweise mit Hilfe einer Rastvorrichtung formschlüssig mit dem distalen Ende der Aufnahmezylinder verbunden wird. Durch die abnehmbare Ausgestaltung des Konfusorelements und der Düse ist es beispielsweise möglich die Aufnahmezylinder im Produktionsprozess von ihrem distalen Ende aus zu befüllen. Beim Befüllvorgang können somit die Kolben bereits in die Zylinder eingeführt sein. Es ist bevorzugt, dass die in den mindestens zwei Aufnahmezylindern befindlichen unterschiedlichen Reinigungsmittel vor ihrem Eintritt in das Konfusorelement keinen Kontakt zueinander haben. Hierdurch ist es möglich eine besonders klar definierte Trennung der insbesondere unterschiedlich farbigen Reinigungsmittel im applizierten Reinigungsmittel-Strang zu erreichen. Anders ausgedrückt ist es möglich zu verhindern, dass sich die Reinigungsmittel im ausgegebenen Strang vermischen.It is further preferred that the confuser and the cylindrical dispensing nozzle are integrally formed. Furthermore, they may be removable from the receiving cylinders. For this purpose, for example, the Konfusorelement have, for example, at its proximal end a circumferential attachment approach, which is positively connected, for example by means of a locking device with the distal end of the receiving cylinder. Due to the removable configuration of the Konfusorelements and the nozzle, it is possible, for example, the receiving cylinder in To fill the production process from its distal end. During the filling process, the pistons can thus already be introduced into the cylinders. It is preferred that the different cleaning agents located in the at least two receiving cylinders have no contact with one another before they enter the confuser element. This makes it possible to achieve a particularly well-defined separation of the particular differently colored cleaning agent in the applied detergent strand. In other words, it is possible to prevent the detergents from mixing in the dispensed strand.

Es ist weiterhin bevorzugt, dass die zylindrische Ausgabedüse einen in einer ersten Ebene symmetrischen Querschnitt und einen in einer zur ersten Ebene senkrecht angeordneten zweiten Ebene einen asymmetrischen Querschnitt aufweist.It is furthermore preferred for the cylindrical dispensing nozzle to have an asymmetrical cross section in a first plane and a second plane arranged perpendicular to the first plane to have an asymmetrical cross section.

Grundsätzlich ist es möglich durch die abnehmbare Ausgestaltung des Konfusorelements und der Ausgabedüse verschiedene geometrische Ausgestaltungen für eine Ausgabedüse vorzusehen. Wichtig ist hierbei lediglich, dass die Ausgabe einen zylindrischen Querschnitt aufweist, wobei es sich nicht um einen kreiszylindrischen Querschnitt handeln muss. Durch die verschiedenen geometrischen Ausgestaltungen der zylindrischen Ausgabedüse können Strangprofile mit unterschiedlichen Formen realisiert werden.In principle, it is possible to provide various geometric configurations for an ejection nozzle by virtue of the detachable configuration of the confuser element and the dispensing nozzle. It is only important here that the output has a cylindrical cross section, which does not have to be a circular cylindrical cross section. Due to the various geometric configurations of the cylindrical dispensing nozzle extruded profiles can be realized with different shapes.

Es ist weiterhin bevorzugt, dass das Volumen der Aufnahmezylinder jeweils zwischen 20 ml und 100 ml beträgt.It is further preferred that the volume of the receiving cylinder is in each case between 20 ml and 100 ml.

Weiterhin ist es bevorzugt, dass die Reinigungsmittel pastös ausgebildet sind und eine Viskosität von 20.000 bis 60.000 mPas aufweisen.Furthermore, it is preferred that the cleaning agents are pasty and have a viscosity of 20,000 to 60,000 mPas.

Im Folgenden werden bevorzugte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung anhand von Figuren erläutert.In the following, preferred embodiments of the invention will be explained with reference to figures.

In einer in Fig. 1a dargestellten Ausführungsform weist der Reinigungsmittelspender 10 drei Aufnahmezylinder 12a - 12c auf, die jeweils mit einem unterschiedlichen Reinigungsmittel gefüllt sind. Die Aufnahmezylinder weisen je ein offenes Ende und eine diesem gegenüber liegende Ausgabeöffnung zu Ausgabe des Reinigungsmittels auf.In an in Fig. 1a In the embodiment shown, the detergent dispenser 10 has three receiving cylinders 12a-12c, each of which is filled with a different cleaning agent. The receiving cylinders each have an open end and a discharge opening opposite thereto for dispensing the cleaning agent.

Es sind drei Kolben 14a - 14c zum axialen Einführen in das erste offene Ende jeweils eines Aufnahmezylinders 12a - 12c vorgesehen. Beim Einführen der drei Kolben 14a - 14c in die drei Aufnahmezylinder 12a - 12c erfolgt ein Verdrängen des in dem jeweiligen Aufnahmezylinder befindlichen Reinigungsmittels und ein Herauspressen des Reinigungsmittels aus der Ausgabeöffnung.There are three pistons 14a-14c for axial insertion into the first open end of each receiving cylinder 12a-12c. When the three pistons 14a-14c are introduced into the three receiving cylinders 12a-12c, the cleaning agent located in the respective receiving cylinder is displaced and the cleaning agent is forced out of the dispensing opening.

Distal der Aufnahmeöffnungen der Aufnahmezylinder 12a - 12c ist ein sich in seinem Querschnitt verjüngendes Konfusorelement 16 angeordnet. Dieses kann beispielsweise mittels eine Befestigungsstegs 16a formschlüssig beispielsweise mittels einer Rastlippe mit dem distalen Ende der Aufnahmezylinder 12a - 12c verbunden sein. Das Konfusorelement 16 ist somit gegenüber den Aufnahmezylindern 12a bis 12c abnehmbar ausgebildet. Distal des Konfusorelements 16 schließt sich die zylindrische Ausgabedüse 18 an. Diese weist in der Ausgestaltung gemäß Fig. 1a einen relativ zur ersten Ebene A symmetrischen Querschnitt auf. Relativ zur Ebene B ist dagegen der Querschnitt der zylindrischen Ausgabeöffnung 18 nicht symmetrisch.Distal to the receiving openings of the receiving cylinder 12a - 12c is a tapered in its cross-section Konfusorelement 16 is arranged. This can be connected, for example, by means of a fastening web 16a in a form-fitting manner, for example by means of a locking lip, with the distal end of the receiving cylinders 12a-12c. The Confusor element 16 is thus designed to be removable relative to the receiving cylinders 12a to 12c. Distal of Konfusorelements 16, the cylindrical dispensing nozzle 18 connects. This has in the embodiment according to Fig. 1a a symmetrical relative to the first plane A cross-section. In contrast to the plane B, however, the cross section of the cylindrical dispensing opening 18 is not symmetrical.

Die drei Kolben 14a - 14c sind an ihrem proximalen Ende durch einen Steg miteinander verbunden, so dass sie gemeinsam und gleichmäßig in die Aufnahmezylinder 12a bis 12c hineingedrückt werden können. In Fig. 1b ist erkennbar, wie sich das Konfusorelement 16 in distaler Richtung verjüngt bis es den kleineren Querschnitt der Ausgabedüse 18 erreicht hat. Die Verjüngung des Konfusorelements 16 kann auch in Fig. 1c in der Seitenansicht nachvollzogen werden.The three pistons 14a-14c are connected at their proximal end by a web so that they can be pushed together and uniformly into the receiving cylinders 12a to 12c. In Fig. 1b It can be seen how the Konfusorelement 16 tapers in the distal direction until it has reached the smaller cross section of the dispensing nozzle 18. The taper of Konfusorelements 16 can also in Fig. 1c be followed in the side view.

In der Ausführungsform gemäß der Fign. 2a bis 3c weist der erfindungsgemäße Reinigungsmittel-Spender 10 zwei Aufnahmezylinder 12a, 12b auf, in die jeweils ein Kolben 14a, 14b eingeführt wird. Auch hier ist wieder ein Konfusorelement 16 vorgesehen, an dessen distalem Ende sich eine zylindrische Ausgabedüse 18 anschließt. Diese weist eine andere geometrische Form auf als die zylindrische Ausgabedüse 18 der ersten Ausführungsform gemäß Fign. 1a bis 1c.In the embodiment according to the FIGS. 2a to 3c The inventive detergent dispenser 10 has two receiving cylinders 12a, 12b, into each of which a piston 14a, 14b is inserted. Again, a confuser element 16 is provided, at the distal end of which a cylindrical dispensing nozzle 18 connects. This has a different geometric shape than the cylindrical dispensing nozzle 18 of the first embodiment according to FIGS. 1a to 1c ,
