Definitions

  • the invention relates to a discharge head for a liquid dispenser for dispensing cosmetic liquids, in particular for a liquid dispenser designed as a sponge dispenser.
  • a generic discharge head has a base to be attached to a liquid storage with a coupling device, in particular in the manner of a thread or a latching coupling device, for coupling to the liquid storage. This is intended to attach to a correspondingly designed liquid storage in which the liquid is stored without pressure.
  • the discharge head further has an applicator section which, in the case of a sponge dispenser, is designed as a sponge carrier and has a sponge receptacle in which a sponge is arranged.
  • a sponge dispenser is known in which a discharge head as a whole is displaceable, thereby to actuate a pump of the sponge dispenser.
  • the sponge for actuation of a bottle-integrated pump or for opening a bottle-integrated aerosol valve of an associated pressure accumulator is displaced.
  • a sponge dispenser is known, which is placed on a compressed gas package with spray valve.
  • a dispenser is known in which a sponge is designed to be displaceable and depending on the position can be fed by external grooves with liquid from a liquid reservoir.
  • a sponge dispenser with two valves which together define a metering chamber and which can be opened or closed by pressing the sponge, so that a pre-metered amount of liquid is supplied to the sponge.
  • JP H04-279459 A of the WO 94/10056 A1
  • EP 127453 B1 of the EP 1346927 A2
  • EP 315513 A1 Systems are known with spools firmly integrated in the discharge head, in which by applying force to the sponge, a valve for supplying the sponge with liquid can be opened.
  • None of the known systems desirably combines the advantages of easy handling and continuous liquid supply of the sponge while at the same time effectively avoiding unwanted leaking liquid and low production costs.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a discharge head which is particularly suitable for sponge dispensers and which allows for a favorable production of a continuous and safe discharge of liquid through a sponge.
  • the sponge carrier is translationally guided relative to the base displaceable and has a hollow socket, within which a liquid channel is provided, which connects the liquid storage with the sponge recording.
  • This liquid channel is associated with an outlet valve, which can be opened by displacement of the sponge carrier in the direction of the base, so that liquid can flow freely from the liquid reservoir into the sponge recording to be absorbed by the sponge for the subsequent delivery, in particular on the skin of a user ,
  • the sponge carrier of such a discharge head according to the invention is displaceable as a whole in relation to the base and guided for this purpose translationally at the base. This displacement from a home position to a depressed position results in opening of the outlet valve so that the sponge can be supplied with fluid through the hollow tube.
  • the outlet valve which can be opened by moving the sponge carrier and the hollow nozzle, is the only valve between the liquid reservoir and the sponge. If it is opened by pressing the sponge carrier, the liquid can thus flow continuously with suitable orientation of the dispenser without further pressurization for sponge recording and feed there the sponge.
  • the liquid flow with which the sponge is fed depends on the degree of opening of the valve by pressing the sponge carrier and thus in a discharge head with a spring device described hereinafter by the pressing force and the inclination angle of the dispenser as a whole and can therefore be well dosed.
  • the sponge can be a sponge customary in the cosmetics sector, for example cellulose and / or cotton fibers.
  • the sponge is part of the sponge carrier and can be attached to this fixed and exchangeable for the end user.
  • the sponge can be received in a cup-shaped sponge recording and held here purely non-positively.
  • the provided in the hollow nozzle liquid channel preferably opens directly into the sponge recording.
  • the relative to the base as part of the sponge carrier movable hollow pipe with the integrated liquid channel creates the connection between the liquid storage and the sponge recording.
  • the hollow carrier extends beyond a sealing plane between the liquid reservoir and the discharge head and thus into the liquid reservoir up to this point, so that no further liquid-carrying components have to be provided.
  • the hollow neck is also preferably used for the movable attachment to the base, in particular in that it is fixed in a manner described below end to a spring device or sealing element or is positively secured captive to the base.
  • the hollow pipe can be constructed from two or more components, as will also be explained below.
  • the base or spring means provided on the base may have an aperture through which the hollow neck of the sponge carrier protrudes.
  • the sponge carrier on a side facing away from the sponge receiving end of the hollow stub having an expansion, which counteracts a form-fitting separation of base or spring means on the one hand and sponge carrier on the other.
  • attachment to the spring means of the hollow pipe is fixed to the opening of the spring means by means of the expansion.
  • the entire sponge carrier slidably attached to the base.
  • the sponge carrier may have two separate components, which are fixedly attached to each other and together form the hollow stub.
  • a first of the two components of the sponge carrier has the sponge receptacle and an outer sleeve of the hollow spout extending therefrom.
  • a second of the two components has the expansion.
  • the use of two components to form the hollow neck is also advantageous because it can be formed in a simple way between the two components of the inlet through which liquid can enter into the liquid channel.
  • the interior of the two components in particular the component forming the widening at the end of the hollow neck, can be designed as a partially slotted component, wherein the slot can form the liquid channel in the hollow neck.
  • the two components of the sponge carrier can be connected to one another by a latching connection, wherein in particular preferably the first component has the hollow stub and the second component has a latching portion which engages through the hollow stub and / or is locked within the hollow stub.
  • the said partially slotted construction is advantageous because this locking elements can be deflected at two sections of the slotted component for assembly purposes with little effort against each other.
  • the discharge head has a spring device by means of which the sponge carrier of the discharge head is force-biased away from the base.
  • the spring force of this spring device determines significantly with what force the sponge support must be depressed to open the exhaust valve.
  • here can find a soft springUse, which is already deflected at a force at which there is still no significant deformation of the sponge.
  • a particularly simple variant of a spring device provides that the spring device is designed as a simple helical spring which acts between the sponge carrier and the base and is arranged on the outside of the hollow neck. Since such a spring is not in fluid contact, it may be formed as a metal spring. But a design as a plastic spring is possible.
  • the spring device has an elastically deformable spring plate with a central elevation, which is fastened in an outer region to the base and is fastened in the region of the elevation on the sponge carrier, in particular on the hollow tube.
  • a spring is quite inexpensive and therefore suitable for a discharge head according to the invention, since no large displacement path of the sponge carrier relative to the base is required here.
  • a spring device in the form of a spring plate with survey also assume other functions.
  • such a spring device may be formed from a flexible, elastic plastic material, which at the same time is also suitable as a bottle seal and can furthermore also form a valve surface of the outlet valve. This will be explained below.
  • the spring device is preferably made of a different plastic than the base, but may be formed integrally with the base by means of multi-component injection molding.
  • an opening in the spring plate is provided in the region of the survey, is passed through the liquid for sponge recording.
  • This opening can serve in particular the attachment of the hollow stub in the above manner.
  • the discharge head can have a ventilation duct, by means of which compensation air can flow into the liquid reservoir after removal of liquid from an environment.
  • a waiver of a separate ventilation duct is possible because air can pass through the sponge and the liquid channel into the liquid storage. It has been found, however, that it can be beneficial to deliver fluid across the sponge when the inflow of air is through a separate path.
  • the provision of a separate ventilation channel is also advantageous in order to prevent the formation of a negative pressure in the liquid reservoir due to the liquid-reduced air permeability of the sponge, which makes it difficult to supply the sponge with liquid.
  • the ventilation duct does not have to be completely separated from the fluid path.
  • a partial section of the ventilation channel between a sponge-facing surface of the sponge receptacle and the sponge may be provided, in particular by a groove introduced into the surface and / or the sponge.
  • Such a groove preferably extends from an edge region of the sponge receptacle to the liquid channel in the hollow stub. It is particularly easy to produce as a groove in the sponge recording.
  • a section of the ventilation duct is formed by the fluid duct.
  • the ventilation channel is formed in the region of the outlet valve together with the liquid path, so that the outlet valve prevents both the inflow of liquid into the liquid channel and the aeration of the liquid reservoir.
  • the ventilation duct has a greater length from an ambient-side inlet to a liquid-storage-side outlet than the liquid channel from the liquid-storage-side inlet to the sponge-side outlet.
  • a comparatively hard sponge can be used, in particular a sponge made of a material which is offered under the trade name POREX and / or from a porous plastic material.
  • the sponge may have a Shore hardness A of at least 40, preferably of at least 60, in particular preferably of at least 80.
  • Such a sponge allows by its inherent stability a particularly targeted discharge of liquid.
  • the sponge is slanted at an application side in sections relative to a displacement direction of the sponge carrier, preferably at least 50% the application side is inclined at a uniform angle, in particular preferably inclined so that a normal vector on the application side forms an angle between 10 ° and 30 ° with the displacement direction of the sponge carrier.
  • the sponge may be particularly designed in terms of its shape.
  • a shape may be provided which deviates from a circular shape and a rectangular shape, in particular preferably an elliptical shape, a polygonal shape or the shape of a heart or another motif.
  • a design can serve for aesthetic purposes.
  • the shaping can also favor the particularly targeted application.
  • a discharge head of the type mentioned which has a base and an applicator, in particular in the form of a sponge carrier, which is translationally guided relative to the base displaced.
  • the applicator section has a hollow stub, within which a liquid channel is provided, by means of which the applicator section can be supplied with liquid from the liquid accumulator.
  • At least one outlet valve for interrupting the supply of liquid to the applicator section is assigned to the liquid channel.
  • the discharge head has an integral sealing component on the coupling device, which has a circumferential bottle sealing section which seals a contact area between the base and liquid reservoir with respect to an environment when the liquid reservoir is coupled and is virtually clamped between the base and the liquid reservoir.
  • This sealing component has an inner sealing portion which interacts with the hollow stub in such a way that a sliding sealing surface on the inner sealing portion cooperates with an outer side of the hollow stub such that no liquid flows between the sliding sealing surface and the outer side of the hollow stub when the hollow stub is translationally moved relative to the inner sealing portion can, and / or that a hollow body provided on the valve body surface in an end position of the applicator so abuts a valve sealing surface of the inner sealing portion, so that in this way the supply channel is interrupted.
  • This second aspect of the invention is preferably implemented together with the first aspect, wherein said one-piece sealing member is identical to the spring device with spring plate or at the same time forms a seal for the hollow socket.
  • a discharge head according to the second aspect of the invention is preferably also formed with a sponge carrier with sponge as the applicator section, but in principle can also be designed for a different type of application, for example in the manner of a cosmetic pen dispenser.
  • the above to the first aspect of the invention mentioned details can be realized together or in isolation in the case of a discharge head according to this second aspect of the invention with a sponge carrier with sponge.
  • the special feature of the invention according to the second aspect of the invention lies in the fact that the sealing component, which ensures the dense attachment of the discharge head to the liquid reservoir by means of a bottle sealing section, performs further functions, so that the discharge head can make do with few components.
  • These additional functions may include, in particular, that an inner sealing portion of the sealing member abuts by means of the sliding sealing surface provided there on the outside of the hollow neck and thus prevents the unwanted escape of liquid here, when the hollow pipe is displaced relative to the base.
  • the inner sealing portion of the sealing member may form a valve sealing surface against which, in the closed state of the exhaust valve, a valve body surface of the hollow nozzle abuts, thereby closing the exhaust valve.
  • the hollow neck at one end to a widening, on which the valve body surface is provided. If the hollow nozzle is displaced with the valve body surface, this valve body surface can thereby be lifted off the valve sealing surface of the inner sealing segment, so that a gap is created between valve sealing surface and valve body surface, through which the liquid can flow into the hollow nozzle.
  • the sealing member may be configured in such a configuration as a simple and flat sealing ring whose outer diameter are adjusted according to the dimensions of the base and the liquid reservoir and whose inner diameter of the outer dimensions of the hollow neck and its expansion are determined.
  • the hollow pipe is attached to the inner sealing portion of the sealing component and this inner sealing portion of the sealing component for this purpose has a rising above the plane of the bottle seal portion sealing structure, which defines an interior.
  • the valve body surface on the hollow pipe is provided on a valve portion of the hollow nozzle, which is arranged in said, defined by the sealing structure, interior space.
  • valve body surface lifts off from the stationary sealing component, but that the sealing component undergoes a partial deformation, namely in the area of the sealing structure rising above the bottle seal portion.
  • This is preferably dome-shaped, wherein in the closed state of the outlet valve, the valve body surface rests against the hollow socket inside of this preferably dome-like structure. The displacement of the hollow neck results in a deformation of the sealing structure, through which the walls lose contact with the valve body surface, so that liquid can flow into the hollow neck.
  • the invention also relates to a liquid dispenser for dispensing cosmetic liquids.
  • This liquid dispenser has a liquid reservoir with a coupling nozzle for decoupling to a discharge head, and a discharge head with a coupling device for coupling to the liquid storage.
  • This discharge head is designed according to the above description and therefore particularly preferably designed as a discharge head with sponge carrier and sponge.
