Definitions
- the invention relates to a color marking with integrated spray protection for aerosol cans with attachable spray head.
- Aerosol cans with attachable spray heads are widely known in the prior art. They are used both in the technical field, for example for construction foams and lacquers, in the artistic field, for example for paints, in the cosmetic field, for example for deodorants, hair sprays or shaving foams, or in the medical field, for example for spray dressings or disinfectants.
- the spray device of aerosol cans must be regularly protected against unauthorized or unintended actuation by a spray protection device.
- a safety device is intended on the one hand to prevent unintentional spraying by inadvertently pressing the spray head, but on the other hand to prevent unauthorized spraying, for example as a test before purchase.
- Unauthorized spraying prior to purchase not only leads to the environment being disturbed or destroyed, for example by smells or colors, but also to the fact that appropriately used products can no longer be sold because they are no longer new and filled accordingly.
- the financial damage thus includes, in addition to the repair, the replacement of the product used.
- the potential buyer should be able to use appropriate measures to distinguish a used from an unused product. This can be done, for example, in a simple manner in that the release of the spray safety device leaves an easily recognizable trace and is irreversible, at least in relation to the original state.
- the US 3,606,106 B proposes, for example, to extend the spray head towards the valve plate by means of a spacer element which is detachably fastened to the spray head in such a way that it is impossible to press the spray head without the irreversible release of the spacer element beforehand.
- the EP 0 945 366 B1 describes a spray safety device in which a support arrangement is connected to the valve plate in a non-positive or positive manner by pressing or gluing in such a way that movement of the spray head for actuating the spray valve is blocked by the latter.
- the support arrangement can only be detached from the valve plate with great effort.
- the DE 20 2006 017 045 U1 discloses a spray protection device, the body of which has a central bore for receiving the riser pipe and which can be inserted into the interior of the spray head in a positive and / or non-positive manner.
- Another known problem is to provide the aerosol cans, especially if they are filled with lacquers, economically sensible with a color marking corresponding to the can contents.
- the aim is to produce an aerosol can including the lid and label uniformly for all possible colors and to be able to retrospectively attach a color marking, if necessary.
- a disadvantage of the prior art is that the previously known solutions for spray protection and color marking have to be installed in two separate steps during production.
- Another object of the present invention is to offer a spray fuse, the removal of which leaves irreversible traces and thus serves to identify prior use, but which can be used again at any time to secure the spray head again.
- a color marking according to the invention with integrated spray protection for aerosol spray cans comprises at least one essentially ring-shaped outer element and one substantially ring-shaped inner element.
- the elements are arranged concentrically to one another and releasably connected to one another via at least one connecting element.
- the ring-shaped outer element essentially serves for attachment and for color marking and comprises a ring body, an inner opening, one inner diameter and an outer diameter.
- the annular outer element can be positively or non-positively connected to the dome of an aerosol spray can. The connection can be made at the transition between the valve plate and the dome.
- the diameter of the inner opening of the annular outer element is larger than the outer diameter of the valve plate but smaller than the outer diameter of the dome of the can.
- the annular outer element comprises at least one latching element which projects into the inner opening and which reduces the diameter of the inner opening in such a way that the diameter of the inner opening of the annular outer element is at least in the region of the latching element so much smaller than the outer diameter of the valve plate, that the ring-shaped outer element can be slipped over the valve plate and the latching element engages below the outer seam between the valve plate and the dome.
- the annular outer element can be snapped between the valve plate and the dome.
- a plurality of snap-in elements are preferred, in particular three to five snap-in elements, and embodiments are also conceivable in which the snap-in element is designed as a continuous inner projection.
- the annular outer element comprises a bridging element.
- the bridging element connects to the inner opening of the ring-shaped outer element and is essentially hollow-cylindrical.
- the diameter of the inner opening of the bridging element is essentially identical to the diameter of the inner opening of the annular outer element.
- the bridging element essentially bridges the height of the crimped edge of the valve plate.
- the annular outer element with the bridging element is preferably manufactured without transition and forms a part of it him the ring body, but there are also conceivable embodiments that are connected in a manner known to those skilled in the art.
- the latching elements can alternatively also extend from the inside of the bridging element and protrude into the inner opening of the bridging element in the manner described above.
- the annular outer element is pushed so far over the outer edge of the valve plate until the at least one latching element engages under the edge.
- the ring-shaped inner element essentially serves as a spray protection. It is separably connected to the annular outer element via at least one connecting element.
- the inner element can, but does not have to be able to be inserted into the valve plate in a form-fitting or non-positive manner, since the hold essentially takes place via the connecting elements with the outer element or through the attached spray head.
- the inner element is essentially shaped such that it can be inserted into the valve plate and can accommodate the spray head.
- the ring-shaped inner element is shaped essentially as a hollow cylinder with an inner and an outer diameter and with a first and a second end.
- the inner diameter of the hollow cylinder is larger than the outer diameter of the spray head and the outer diameter of the hollow cylinder is smaller than the inner diameter of the valve disk.
- the first, lower end of the annular inner element comprises a spacer element which is fixedly connected to the inner element.
- the inner element and the spacer element are preferably manufactured in one piece.
- the spacer element is suitable for blocking the trigger path of the spray head for actuating the spray valve in such a way that it is impossible to actuate the spray head successfully without first removing the spacer element and / or the annular inner element.
- the spacer can be made from individual struts or in the form of a washer as a continuous inward projection.
- the second, upper end of the annular inner element comprises a substantially horizontally outwardly extending, continuous projection which at least partially projects over the upper edge of the valve plate in the direction of the outer annular element and thus the gap between the inner and the outer annular Element reduced at least at these points.
- the annular inner element is separably connected to the annular outer element via at least one connecting element.
- An embodiment is preferred in which the second end of the inner element and the upper end of the bridging element end on a level just above the valve plate, so that the connecting elements only bridge a minimally wide gap between these two elements.
- the connecting elements correspondingly extend from the upper end of the outer element to the projection of the inner element.
- connection elements can also include predetermined breaking points for easier separation.
- the two elements are connected to one another essentially continuously above the upper valve plate edge, for example by a further widening of the previously described projection at the upper end of the inner element, which then serves as a connecting element and connects the inner and outer annular element to one another.
- the projection can then be provided, for example, with a line of weakness or perforation between the two ring-shaped elements for easier separation.
- the inner element can comprise a tab or a simple projection, for example as an extension of the already existing projection, at its upper end.
- the annular elements are in any case connected to one another and can be mounted on the spray can in one piece, preferably by latching below the valve plate.
- a one-piece production of the color marking according to the invention with integrated spray protection is preferred, even if embodiments are conceivable in which parts of the color marking according to the invention with integrated spray protection can be manufactured individually and then joined together.
- embodiments are also conceivable in which the shape of the inner element is essentially reduced to the shape of a washer, the outer diameter of which is smaller than the inner diameter of the valve plate and the diameter of the inner opening allows insertion into the valve plate.
- the thickness of a correspondingly reduced inner element then corresponds to the length of the trigger path of the spray head to be blocked.
- the connecting elements are guided essentially from the outer edge of the inner element to the outer element.
- these connecting elements can also be seen as a reduction in the section of the inner element previously described as a hollow cylinder.
- the ring-shaped outer element can also be designed very flexibly.
- the shape of this outer element can range from a sleeve that more or less completely covers the dome of the spray can to a rather narrow ring, which is essentially only used for fastening.
- the outer element also serves for the color marking
- a more cuff-shaped configuration of the outer element in the sense of good recognition of the color marking is preferred.
- the individual design of the cuff in the functional framework in particular not when the outer element is attached essentially by means of the bridging element by snapping in below the valve plate.
- the color marking according to the invention with spray protection is essentially installed by attaching it to the spray can, in particular on the dome of the can, while the spray head is not mounted. After installation, the spray head can be attached to the can and in particular to the spray insert without fear of the triggering of the spray valve being triggered since the spray safety device is already installed.
- the spray safety device is removed by disassembling the spray head and then separating the inner element from the outer element and removing it from the valve plate.
- the spray head can then be used again.
- the spray can is now ready for use. Even if the inner element has been separated from the outer element, it does not lose its functionality as a spray safety device and can be used again at any time to protect the spray by removing the spray head again, inserting the spray safety device and then plugging the spray head back on. Since the connection elements are absolutely destroyed when the spray fuse, i.e. the separation of the inner element from the outer element, is removed for the first time, a new spray can must be distinguished externally from a used spray can based on the undamaged connection elements, in which the connection elements are destroyed.
- Figure 1 shows a top view of a preferred embodiment of the color marking according to the invention with integrated spray protection 1 with an annular outer element 2 and an annular inner element 3, the inner element 3 serving essentially as a spray protection and the outer element 2 serving essentially as a color marking and attachment means ,
- the outer element 2 is subdivided into an outer sleeve 7 and an inner bridging element 6.
- the sleeve 7 essentially covers the dome of the spray can and serves as a colored marking for identifying the content in the can and in particular its color .
- Their design is correspondingly flexible in the functional framework and almost free in terms of both the surface design and the edge design, in particular of the outer edge, since the outer edge in the illustrated embodiment has no function as an attachment means and can also be used decoratively.
- the bridging element 6 primarily serves to bridge the height of the valve plate from the dome of the can to the upper edge of the valve plate.
- the at least one connecting element 4 runs between the outer 2 and inner element 3 from the upper edge of the bridging element 6.
- the ring-shaped inner element 3 essentially serves as a spray safety device. It is essentially of a hollow cylindrical shape and is suitable for receiving the spray head. At the lower edge of the inner element 3 there is a spacer element 5, which is suitable for blocking the triggering path of the spray head for actuating the valve in such a way that the spray head can be actuated successfully without the prior removal of the annular element is not possible.
- the spacer element 5 and the inner element 3 are preferably manufactured in one piece.
- the upper edge of the inner element 3 can comprise an essentially horizontally outward projection which at least partially covers the upper edge of the valve plate. As a result, the gap between outer 2 and inner element 3 is reduced at the corresponding points.
- the outer 2 and inner element 3 are connected to one another via at least one connecting element 4, in the preferred embodiment shown via three connecting elements 4.
- the connecting elements 4 extend from the upper edge of the bridging element 6 to the outer edge of the projection 3a of the inner element 3.
- the inner element 3 can have a separation aid 8, preferably at the upper edge.
- the separation aid 8 can be designed, for example, as an extension of the projection 3a or as a tab.
- FIG 2 shows the underside of the preferred embodiment according to Figure 1 ,
- the spacer element 5 can be seen, which blocks the triggering path of the spray head in such a way that the spray valve cannot be triggered by the spray head.

- the stability of the annular outer element 2 can be increased by stiffening elements 10.
- FIG 3 shows a cross section through a preferred embodiment of the color marking according to the invention with integrated spray fuse 1 mounted on the dome 12 of a spray can 14.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Farbmarkierung mit integrierter Sprühsicherung für Aerosoldosen mit aufsteckbarem Sprühkopf.The invention relates to a color marking with integrated spray protection for aerosol cans with attachable spray head.
Aerosoldosen mit aufsteckbarem Sprühkopf sind im Stand der Technik umfangreich bekannt. Sie finden ihre Verwendung sowohl im technischen Bereich, beispielsweise für Bauschäume und Lacke, im künstlerischen Bereich, beispielsweise für Farben, im kosmetischen Bereich, beispielsweise für Deodorants, Haarsprays oder Rasierschäume, oder auch im medizinischen Bereich, beispielsweise für Sprühverbände oder Desinfektionsmittel.Aerosol cans with attachable spray heads are widely known in the prior art. They are used both in the technical field, for example for construction foams and lacquers, in the artistic field, for example for paints, in the cosmetic field, for example for deodorants, hair sprays or shaving foams, or in the medical field, for example for spray dressings or disinfectants.
Die Sprühvorrichtung von Aerosoldosen muss dabei regelmäßig durch eine Sprühsicherung gegen unberechtigtes oder auch unbeabsichtigtes Betätigen geschützt werden. Solch eine Sprühsicherung soll einerseits ein unbeabsichtigtes Sprühen durch ein versehentliches Drücken des Sprühkopfes verhindern, andererseits soll aber auch gerade das unberechtigte Sprühen, beispielsweise als Test vor dem Kauf, verhindert werden. So führt das unberechtigte Sprühen vor dem Kauf nicht nur dazu, dass die Umgebung beispielsweise durch Gerüche oder Farben gestört oder zerstört wird, sondern auch dazu, dass entsprechend benutzte Produkte nicht weiter verkauft werden können, da sie nicht mehr neu und entsprechend gefüllt sind. Der finanzielle Schaden schließt somit gegebenenfalls neben der Instandsetzung auch die Wiederbeschaffung des benutzten Produkts ein.The spray device of aerosol cans must be regularly protected against unauthorized or unintended actuation by a spray protection device. Such a safety device is intended on the one hand to prevent unintentional spraying by inadvertently pressing the spray head, but on the other hand to prevent unauthorized spraying, for example as a test before purchase. Unauthorized spraying prior to purchase not only leads to the environment being disturbed or destroyed, for example by smells or colors, but also to the fact that appropriately used products can no longer be sold because they are no longer new and filled accordingly. The financial damage thus includes, in addition to the repair, the replacement of the product used.
Nicht zuletzt soll es dem potentiellen Käufer durch entsprechende Maßnahmen möglich sein, ein benutztes von einem unbenutzten Produkt zu unterscheiden. Dies kann beispielsweise in einfacher Weise dadurch erfolgen, dass das Lösen der Sprühsicherung eine leicht zu erkennende Spur hinterlässt und irreversibel zumindest bezogen auf den ursprünglichen Zustand ist.Last but not least, the potential buyer should be able to use appropriate measures to distinguish a used from an unused product. This can be done, for example, in a simple manner in that the release of the spray safety device leaves an easily recognizable trace and is irreversible, at least in relation to the original state.
Zur Lösung dieses bekannten Problems werden im Stand der Technik unterschiedliche Lösungsvorschläge unterbreitet. Die

Ein weiteres bekanntes Problem besteht darin, die Aerosoldosen, vor allem sofern sie mit Lacken befüllt sind, wirtschaftlich sinnvoll mit einer dem Doseninhalt entsprechenden Farbmarkierung auszustatten. Ziel dabei ist es, eine Aerosoldose inklusive Deckel und Etikett einheitlich für alle möglichen Farben herzustellen und eine Farbmarkierung nachträglich gegebenenfalls auch reversibel anbringen zu können.Another known problem is to provide the aerosol cans, especially if they are filled with lacquers, economically sensible with a color marking corresponding to the can contents. The aim is to produce an aerosol can including the lid and label uniformly for all possible colors and to be able to retrospectively attach a color marking, if necessary.
Entsprechende Lösungen sind im Stand der Technik vor allem in Form von Ringmanschetten (auch als Donut bezeichnet) bekannt, die in der Regel an einer Stelle des Doms der Aerosoldose befestigt oder eingespannt werden. Solche Lösungen beschreiben beispielsweise die
Nachteilig am Stand der Technik ist, dass die vorbekannten Lösungen für Sprühsicherungen und Farbmarkierung im Laufe der Produktion in zwei separaten Schritten montiert werden müssen.A disadvantage of the prior art is that the previously known solutions for spray protection and color marking have to be installed in two separate steps during production.
Insofern ist es Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein alternatives System anzubieten, das die erwähnten Nachteile nicht besitzt und das zugleich als Farbmarkierung und als Sprühsicherung dient.In this respect, it is the object of the present invention to offer an alternative system which does not have the disadvantages mentioned and which also serves as a color marking and as a spray protection.
Auch ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung, dass das entsprechende System in einem Schritt als ein Werkstück einfach montierbar ist.It is also an object of the invention that the corresponding system can be easily assembled as a workpiece in one step.
Eine weitere Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine Sprühsicherung anzubieten, deren Entfernen irreversible Spuren hinterlässt und so zur Kennzeichnung einer Vorbenutzung dient, die jedoch zur erneuten Sicherung des Sprühkopfes jederzeit wieder einsetzbar ist.Another object of the present invention is to offer a spray fuse, the removal of which leaves irreversible traces and thus serves to identify prior use, but which can be used again at any time to secure the spray head again.
Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch eine Erfindung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind jeweils Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche. Es ist darauf hinzuweisen, dass die in den Ansprüchen einzeln aufgeführten Merkmale auch in beliebiger und technologisch sinnvoller Weise miteinander kombiniert werden können und somit weitere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung aufzeigen.This object is achieved by an invention with the features of claim 1. Advantageous refinements are the subject of the dependent claims. It should be pointed out that the features listed individually in the claims can also be combined with one another in any desired and technologically sensible manner and thus show further refinements of the invention.
Eine erfindungsgemäße Farbmarkierung mit integrierter Sprühsicherung für Aerosol-Sprühdosen umfasst zumindest ein im Wesentlichen ringförmiges äußeres und ein im Wesentlichen ringförmiges inneres Element. Die Elemente sind konzentrisch zueinander angeordnet und über zumindest ein Verbindungselement lösbar miteinander verbunden.A color marking according to the invention with integrated spray protection for aerosol spray cans comprises at least one essentially ring-shaped outer element and one substantially ring-shaped inner element. The elements are arranged concentrically to one another and releasably connected to one another via at least one connecting element.
Das ringförmige äußere Element dient im Wesentlichen zur Anbringung und zur Farbmarkierung und umfasst einen Ringkörper, eine innere Öffnung, einen inneren Durchmesser und einen äußeren Durchmesser. Das ringförmige äußere Element ist form- oder kraftschlüssig mit dem Dom einer Aerosol-Sprühdose verbindbar. Die Verbindung kann an dem Übergang zwischen Ventilteller und Dom erfolgen.The ring-shaped outer element essentially serves for attachment and for color marking and comprises a ring body, an inner opening, one inner diameter and an outer diameter. The annular outer element can be positively or non-positively connected to the dome of an aerosol spray can. The connection can be made at the transition between the valve plate and the dome.
Der Durchmesser der inneren Öffnung des ringförmigen äußeren Elements ist bei dieser bevorzugten Ausführungsform größer als der äußere Durchmesser des Ventiltellers jedoch kleiner als der äußere Durchmesser des Doms der Dose. Dabei umfasst das ringförmige äußere Element zumindest ein Einrastelement, das in die innere Öffnung ragt und das den Durchmesser der inneren Öffnung derart verkleinert, dass der Durchmesser der inneren Öffnung des ringförmigen äußeren Elements zumindest in dem Bereich des Einrastelements so viel kleiner ist als der äußere Durchmesser des Ventiltellers, dass das ringförmige äußere Element über den Ventilteller stülpbar ist und das Einrastelement unterhalb der außen liegenden Naht zwischen Ventilteller und Dom einrastet. Hierdurch ist das ringförmige äußere Element zwischen Ventilteller und Dom einrastbar. Bevorzugt sind bei dieser Ausführungsform eine Vielzahl von Einrastelementen, insbesondere drei bis fünf Einrastelemente, wobei auch Ausführungsformen denkbar sind, bei denen das Einrastelement als durchgängiger innerer Vorsprung ausgeführt ist.In this preferred embodiment, the diameter of the inner opening of the annular outer element is larger than the outer diameter of the valve plate but smaller than the outer diameter of the dome of the can. In this case, the annular outer element comprises at least one latching element which projects into the inner opening and which reduces the diameter of the inner opening in such a way that the diameter of the inner opening of the annular outer element is at least in the region of the latching element so much smaller than the outer diameter of the valve plate, that the ring-shaped outer element can be slipped over the valve plate and the latching element engages below the outer seam between the valve plate and the dome. As a result, the annular outer element can be snapped between the valve plate and the dome. In this embodiment, a plurality of snap-in elements are preferred, in particular three to five snap-in elements, and embodiments are also conceivable in which the snap-in element is designed as a continuous inner projection.
In einer weiterhin bevorzugten Ausführungsform umfasst das ringförmige äußere Element ein Überbrückungselement. Das Überbrückungselement schließt an die innere Öffnung des ringförmigen äußeren Elements an und ist im Wesentlichen hohlzylinderförmig ausgebildet. Dabei ist der Durchmesser der inneren Öffnung des Überbrückungselements im Wesentlichen identisch mit dem Durchmesser der inneren Öffnung des ringförmigen äußeren Elements. Das Überbrückungselement überbrückt im Wesentlichen die Höhe des gecrimpten Randes des Ventiltellers. Bevorzugt ist das ringförmige äußere Element mit dem Überbrückungselement übergangslos gefertigt und bildet mit ihm zusammen den Ringkörper, es sind jedoch auch zusammengesetzte Ausführungsformen denkbar, die in einer dem Fachmann bekannten Weise verbunden werden.In a further preferred embodiment, the annular outer element comprises a bridging element. The bridging element connects to the inner opening of the ring-shaped outer element and is essentially hollow-cylindrical. The diameter of the inner opening of the bridging element is essentially identical to the diameter of the inner opening of the annular outer element. The bridging element essentially bridges the height of the crimped edge of the valve plate. The annular outer element with the bridging element is preferably manufactured without transition and forms a part of it him the ring body, but there are also conceivable embodiments that are connected in a manner known to those skilled in the art.
Die Einrastelemente können bei dieser Ausführungsform mit Überbrückungselement alternativ auch von der Innenseite des Überbrückungselements ausgehen und in vorbeschriebener Art in die innere Öffnung des Überbrückungselements ragen. In diesem Fall wird das ringförmige äußere Element so weit über den außen liegenden Rand des Ventiltellers geschoben, bis das mindestens eine Einrastelement unter dem Rand einrastet.In this embodiment with a bridging element, the latching elements can alternatively also extend from the inside of the bridging element and protrude into the inner opening of the bridging element in the manner described above. In this case, the annular outer element is pushed so far over the outer edge of the valve plate until the at least one latching element engages under the edge.
Das ringförmige innere Element dient im Wesentlichen als Sprühsicherung. Es ist über zumindest ein Verbindungselement mit dem ringförmigen äußeren Element trennbar verbunden. Das innere Element kann, muss aber nicht form- oder kraftschlüssig in den Ventilteller einbringbar sein, da der Halt im Wesentlichen über die Verbindungselemente mit dem äußeren Element beziehungsweise durch den aufgesteckten Sprühkopf erfolgt.The ring-shaped inner element essentially serves as a spray protection. It is separably connected to the annular outer element via at least one connecting element. The inner element can, but does not have to be able to be inserted into the valve plate in a form-fitting or non-positive manner, since the hold essentially takes place via the connecting elements with the outer element or through the attached spray head.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist das innere Element im Wesentlichen so geformt, dass es in den Ventilteller einbringbar ist und den Sprühkopf aufnehmen kann. Dazu ist das ringförmige innere Element im Wesentlichen hohlzylindrisch geformt mit einem inneren und einem äußeren Durchmesser und mit einem ersten und einem zweiten Ende. Der innere Durchmesser des Hohlzylinders ist größer als der äußere Durchmesser des Sprühkopfs und der äußere Durchmesser des Hohlzylinders ist kleiner als der innere Durchmesser des Ventiltellers.In a preferred embodiment, the inner element is essentially shaped such that it can be inserted into the valve plate and can accommodate the spray head. For this purpose, the ring-shaped inner element is shaped essentially as a hollow cylinder with an inner and an outer diameter and with a first and a second end. The inner diameter of the hollow cylinder is larger than the outer diameter of the spray head and the outer diameter of the hollow cylinder is smaller than the inner diameter of the valve disk.
Das erste, untere Ende des ringförmigen inneren Elements umfasst ein Abstandselement, das fest mit dem inneren Element verbunden ist. Bevorzugt sind das innere Element und das Abstandselement einstückig gefertigt. Das Abstandselement ist geeignet, den Auslöseweg des Sprühkopfs zur Betätigung des Sprühventils derart zu blockieren, dass ein erfolgreiches Betätigen des Sprühkopfs ohne das vorherige Entfernen des Abstandselements und/oder des ringförmigen inneren Elements unmöglich ist. Das Abstandselement kann aus einzelnen Streben oder auch in der Art einer Unterlegscheibe als durchgehender nach innen weisender Vorsprung ausgeformt sein.The first, lower end of the annular inner element comprises a spacer element which is fixedly connected to the inner element. The inner element and the spacer element are preferably manufactured in one piece. The spacer element is suitable for blocking the trigger path of the spray head for actuating the spray valve in such a way that it is impossible to actuate the spray head successfully without first removing the spacer element and / or the annular inner element. The spacer can be made from individual struts or in the form of a washer as a continuous inward projection.
Das zweite, obere Ende des ringförmigen inneren Elements umfasst in einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform einen im Wesentlichen waagerecht nach außen weisenden durchgängigen Vorsprung, der den oberen Rand des Ventiltellers zumindest teilweise in Richtung des äußeren ringförmigen Elements überragt und so die Lücke zwischen dem inneren und dem äußeren ringförmigen Element zumindest an diesen Stellen verkleinert. Das ringförmige innere Element ist über zumindest ein Verbindungselement trennbar mit dem ringförmigen äußeren Element verbunden. Bevorzugt ist eine Ausführungsform, bei der das zweite Ende des inneren Elements und das obere Ende des Überbrückungselements auf einer Ebene knapp oberhalb des Ventiltellers enden, sodass durch die Verbindungselemente nur eine minimal weite Lücke zwischen diesen beiden Elementen zu überbrücken ist. Die Verbindungselemente reichen entsprechend vom oberen Ende des äußeren Elements bis zum Vorsprung des inneren Elements.In a preferred embodiment, the second, upper end of the annular inner element comprises a substantially horizontally outwardly extending, continuous projection which at least partially projects over the upper edge of the valve plate in the direction of the outer annular element and thus the gap between the inner and the outer annular Element reduced at least at these points. The annular inner element is separably connected to the annular outer element via at least one connecting element. An embodiment is preferred in which the second end of the inner element and the upper end of the bridging element end on a level just above the valve plate, so that the connecting elements only bridge a minimally wide gap between these two elements. The connecting elements correspondingly extend from the upper end of the outer element to the projection of the inner element.
Bevorzugt ist eine Ausführungsform mit einer Vielzahl von Verbindungselementen, insbesondere mit drei bis fünf Verbindungselementen. Die Verbindungselemente können zudem Sollbruchstellen zur leichteren Trennung umfassen. Denkbar sind auch Ausführungsformen, bei denen beide Elemente oberhalb des oberen Ventiltellerrandes im Wesentlichen durchgängig miteinander verbunden sind, beispielsweise durch eine weitere Verbreiterung des zuvor beschriebenen Vorsprungs am oberen Ende des inneren Elements, der dann als Verbindungselement dient und inneres und äußeres ringförmiges Element miteinander verbindet. Der Vorsprung kann dann zur leichteren Trennung beispielsweise mit einer Schwächungslinie oder Perforation zwischen den beiden ringförmigen Elementen versehen sein.An embodiment with a plurality of connecting elements, in particular with three to five connecting elements, is preferred. The connecting elements can also include predetermined breaking points for easier separation. Embodiments are also conceivable in which the two elements are connected to one another essentially continuously above the upper valve plate edge, for example by a further widening of the previously described projection at the upper end of the inner element, which then serves as a connecting element and connects the inner and outer annular element to one another. The projection can then be provided, for example, with a line of weakness or perforation between the two ring-shaped elements for easier separation.
Zur einfacheren Trennung des inneren Elements vom äußeren Element kann das innere Element eine Lasche oder einen einfachen Vorsprung, beispielsweise als Erweiterung des bereits vorhandenen Vorsprungs, an seinem oberen Ende umfassen.To simplify the separation of the inner element from the outer element, the inner element can comprise a tab or a simple projection, for example as an extension of the already existing projection, at its upper end.
Wesentlich für den Erfindungsgedanken ist neben der Wiederverwendbarkeit des inneren ringförmigen Elements als Sprühsicherung, dass die ringförmigen Elemente in jedem Fall miteinander verbunden sind und in einem Stück auf die Sprühdose montiert werden können, vorzugsweise durch Einrasten unterhalb des Ventiltellers. Zu bevorzugen ist für alle Ausführungsformen eine einstückige Fertigung der erfindungsgemäßen Farbmarkierung mit integrierter Sprühsicherung, auch wenn Ausführungsformen denkbar sind, bei denen Teile der erfindungsgemäßen Farbmarkierung mit integrierter Sprühsicherung einzeln gefertigt und anschließend zusammengefügt werden können.In addition to the reusability of the inner annular element as a spray protection, it is essential for the inventive concept that the annular elements are in any case connected to one another and can be mounted on the spray can in one piece, preferably by latching below the valve plate. For all embodiments, a one-piece production of the color marking according to the invention with integrated spray protection is preferred, even if embodiments are conceivable in which parts of the color marking according to the invention with integrated spray protection can be manufactured individually and then joined together.
Es sind dem Erfindungsgedanken folgend auch Ausführungsformen denkbar, bei denen die Form des inneren Elements im Wesentlichen auf die Form einer Unterlegscheibe reduziert wird, deren äußerer Durchmesser kleiner ist als der innere Durchmesser des Ventiltellers und deren Durchmesser der inneren Öffnung das Einbringen in den Ventilteller ermöglicht. Die Dicke eines entsprechend reduzierten inneren Elements entspricht dann der Länge des zu blockierenden Auslösewegs des Sprühkopfs. Entsprechend werden die Verbindungselemente im Wesentlichen vom äußeren Rand des inneren Elements bis hin zum äußeren Element geführt. Insofern können diese Verbindungselemente auch als Reduzierung des zuvor als Hohlzylinder beschriebenen Abschnitts des inneren Elements gesehen werden.According to the idea of the invention, embodiments are also conceivable in which the shape of the inner element is essentially reduced to the shape of a washer, the outer diameter of which is smaller than the inner diameter of the valve plate and the diameter of the inner opening allows insertion into the valve plate. The thickness of a correspondingly reduced inner element then corresponds to the length of the trigger path of the spray head to be blocked. Accordingly, the connecting elements are guided essentially from the outer edge of the inner element to the outer element. In this respect, these connecting elements can also be seen as a reduction in the section of the inner element previously described as a hollow cylinder.
Ebenso ist das ringförmige äußere Element individuell sehr flexibel gestaltbar. So kann die Ausformung dieses äußeren Elements von einer Manschette, die den Dom der Sprühdose mehr oder weniger komplett abdeckt, bis hin zu einem eher schmalen Ring, der im Wesentlichen nur der Befestigung dient, reichen.The ring-shaped outer element can also be designed very flexibly. The shape of this outer element can range from a sleeve that more or less completely covers the dome of the spray can to a rather narrow ring, which is essentially only used for fastening.
Da das äußere Element erfindungsgemäß auch der Farbmarkierung dient, ist eine eher manschettenförmige Ausgestaltung des äußeren Elements im Sinne einer guten Erkennbarkeit der Farbmarkierung zu bevorzugen. Der individuellen Ausgestaltung der Manschette sind dann im funktionellen Rahmen jedoch kaum Grenzen zu setzen, insbesondere dann nicht, wenn die Anbringung des äußeren Elements im Wesentlichen über das Überbrückungselement durch Einrasten unterhalb des Ventiltellers erfolgt.Since, according to the invention, the outer element also serves for the color marking, a more cuff-shaped configuration of the outer element in the sense of good recognition of the color marking is preferred. However, there are hardly any limits to the individual design of the cuff in the functional framework, in particular not when the outer element is attached essentially by means of the bridging element by snapping in below the valve plate.
Die Montage der erfindungsgemäßen Farbmarkierung mit Sprühsicherung erfolgt im Wesentlichen, indem diese auf der Sprühdose insbesondere auf dem Dom der Dose angebracht wird, während der Sprühkopf nicht montiert ist. Der Sprühkopf kann nach erfolgter Montage auf der Dose und insbesondere auf dem Sprüheinsatz angebracht werden, ohne dass durch die Befestigung ein Auslösen des Sprühventils befürchtet werden muss, da die Sprühsicherung bereits montiert ist.The color marking according to the invention with spray protection is essentially installed by attaching it to the spray can, in particular on the dome of the can, while the spray head is not mounted. After installation, the spray head can be attached to the can and in particular to the spray insert without fear of the triggering of the spray valve being triggered since the spray safety device is already installed.
Die Entfernung der Sprühsicherung erfolgt, indem der Sprühkopf demontiert wird und anschließend das innere Element vom äußeren Element getrennt und aus dem Ventilteller entfernt wird. Anschließend kann der Sprühkopf wieder eingesetzt werden. Die Sprühdose ist nun einsatzbereit. Auch wenn das innere Element vom äußeren Element getrennt wurde, verliert es nicht seine Funktionalität als Sprühsicherung und kann jederzeit wieder zur Sprühsicherung eingesetzt werden, indem der Sprühkopf wieder entfernt, die Sprühsicherung eingesetzt und der Sprühkopf anschließend wieder aufgesteckt wird. Da bei der erstmaligen Entfernung der Sprühsicherung, also der Trennung des inneren Elements vom äußeren Element, unbedingt die Verbindungselemente zerstört werden, ist eine neue Sprühdose anhand der unbeschädigten Verbindungselemente bereits äußerlich von einer benutzten Sprühdose zu unterscheiden, bei der die Verbindungselemente zerstört sind.The spray safety device is removed by disassembling the spray head and then separating the inner element from the outer element and removing it from the valve plate. The spray head can then be used again. The spray can is now ready for use. Even if the inner element has been separated from the outer element, it does not lose its functionality as a spray safety device and can be used again at any time to protect the spray by removing the spray head again, inserting the spray safety device and then plugging the spray head back on. Since the connection elements are absolutely destroyed when the spray fuse, i.e. the separation of the inner element from the outer element, is removed for the first time, a new spray can must be distinguished externally from a used spray can based on the undamaged connection elements, in which the connection elements are destroyed.
