Definitions

  • the invention relates to a liquid dispenser which has a liquid storage with a main liquid and an additional medium which is mixed in the course of the discharge of the liquid with the main liquid.
  • main liquid and the additional medium may be mixed as two components only immediately before the discharge, because the effect of the mixed liquid would be reduced if the additional medium would be held already mixed with the main liquid.
  • additional medium should allow it to spend an individual mixture based on the same main liquid, so with the same liquid dispenser optionally different mixtures with the addition of different additional media to produce and spend.
  • a dispenser which has a mixing chamber which can be screwed on for the purpose of introducing an additional medium.
  • a discharge head in which an additional medium is used in a kind of tablet form to deliver an additional medium when flowing through with liquid.
  • a discharge head which has a receiving space into which an additional medium in a kind of tablet form can be used.
  • the object of the invention is to develop a generic liquid dispenser to the effect that in an easy and hygienic way an additional medium of the main liquid can be added and the possibility is given to also use different optional media.
  • a liquid dispenser for this purpose, which has a liquid reservoir filled with a main liquid, wherein the liquid reservoir is designed either as an accumulator and has a switching valve, by means of which the main liquid can be conveyed from the liquid storage to a storage outlet, or is designed as a non-pressurized liquid storage and a conveying device, by means of which the main liquid can be conveyed from the liquid storage to a storage outlet.
  • the liquid dispenser on a discharge head, which has a discharge opening.
  • a discharge channel connects the storage outlet of the liquid storage, that is a channel section of the liquid storage tank beyond the shadow valve or the delivery device with the discharge opening.
  • the discharge head is depressible for actuating the switching valve or the conveyor.
  • the main liquid is discharged at the storage outlet of the liquid storage, flows into the discharge channel of the discharge head to its discharge opening, from where the delivery takes place.
  • the liquid dispenser has an exchangeable exchange unit which, in a functional state, forms the discharge channel at least in sections.
  • This exchange unit comprises a mixing chamber in which an additional medium is arranged.
  • the mixing chamber is intentionally flowed through in a discharge of the main liquid, which flows through an inlet into the mixing chamber, mixed in the mixing chamber with the powdery, solid or liquid additional medium and flows through the inlet separated from the outlet again from the mixing chamber.
  • the mixing chamber is thus arranged in the discharge channel in such a way that the inlet communicates with the storage outlet and the outlet is communicatively connected to the discharge opening.
  • the exchange unit has closures in a storage state before use by the end user at the inlet and at the outlet, by means of which the mixing chamber is sealed liquid-tight in a storage state. These closures are opened as intended during the preparation or use of the liquid dispenser. Until then, however, they isolate the additional medium in the mixing chamber on the side of the inlet and the outlet of the mixing chamber with respect to an environment, so that neither leaking or the like nor a short-term deterioration of the medium due to ambient air contact is to be feared.
  • the liquid storage with the switching valve or the conveyor and the storage outlet of the liquid storage are provided for multiple use with multiple exchange units, so that the liquid volume of the main liquid is at least twice as large as the volume of the additional medium or in particular the additional liquid in the mixing chamber.
  • the volume is between 100 ml and 500 ml.
  • the storage outlet is designed as an outlet.
  • the exchange unit is provided for coupling thereto, wherein it is designed for this purpose as a complete discharge head and has a coupling connection, which is designed for coupling to the outlet nozzle. This creates a communicating connection with the inlet of the mixing chamber.
  • the exchange unit is designed such that it comprises the entire discharge channel from the coupling connection to the discharge opening, wherein the mixing chamber is provided between the coupling connection and the discharge opening.
  • the two closures associated with the outlet and the inlet of the mixing chamber may, in such a configuration, be provided directly at the discharge opening and at the coupling connection, so that the discharge channel as a whole forms the insulated mixing chamber.
  • the entire discharge head is exchanged as a replacement unit.
  • the closures are closed.
  • the inlet-side closure is opened.
  • the outlet-side closure is then also opened.
  • the complete replacement of the discharge head ensures a very high degree of hygiene, as all fluid-carrying parts that carry the mixture of main liquid and additional medium, be replaced.
  • the attachment of the exchange unit forming discharge head is very simple and intuitive, since it is a pure placement of the discharge head.
  • the discharge head is basically intended for reuse and is occasionally connected to a replacement unit.
  • a discharge head has in some such variants on a receiving space, which is designed to receive the exchange unit.
  • the exchange unit is designed such that, when it is inserted into the receiving space, it assumes a desired position in which the mouth of the supply channel section comes into communicating connection with the inlet of the mixing chamber of the exchange unit.
  • the main liquid flows from the storage outlet into a supply channel section of the discharge channel, which opens into the receiving space of the discharge head.
  • the exchange unit is positioned and secured by force or form fit.
  • the supply channel section abuts flush with the inlet or an inlet channel, so that the liquid does not get into an intermediate region between walls of the receiving space and outer walls of the exchange unit and thus remains clean for reusability.
  • the receiving space has an opening element which is arranged and adapted to the exchange unit such that the closure at the inlet of the mixing chamber or the closure at the outlet of the mixing chamber open destructively by introducing the replacement unit into the receiving space or closing a closing element closing the receiving space becomes.
  • opening element comes in the course of insertion with one of the closures in mechanical contact and opens this closure hereby.
  • the opening element is pointed or sharp-edged, so that it can puncture or cut the lock as it were.
  • the opening element is preferably made of plastic, but may also be metallic.
  • the closure can be, in particular, a thin-walled surface section molded directly onto the housing of the replacement unit or a separate thin-walled and / or film-like surface section.
  • the receiving space can be configured as a receiving space completely insulating the exchange unit.
  • the discharge head has a closing element which delimits the receiving space and which is movable between a closed position and an open position relative to a base component of the discharge head.
  • the receiving space may be formed as a receiving shaft open at least on one side by an outer side of the discharge head, into which the exchange unit can be inserted in an insertion direction.
  • the reusable part of the discharge head does not need a mutually movable part as the above-mentioned closing element.
  • the shaft may be aligned for insertion opposite to the discharge direction of the discharge opening, in particular in a design in which the discharge opening is provided on the exchange unit.
  • the shaft can be designed for insertion of the replacement unit in the discharge direction, wherein in a particular design of the shaft may be formed as a continuous shaft, in which the insertion of the exchange unit is provided in the discharge. The exchange unit can then protrude through the shaft and directly have the discharge opening.
  • the insertion direction is not aligned parallel to the actuation direction, so that accidental actuation during insertion is unlikely.
  • the liquid dispenser has a discharge head, which has an outside connection piece for coupling the exchange unit.
  • the exchange unit is therefore mounted on the outside of the intended for reuse discharge head, which makes the attachment very simple.
  • the exchange unit and the connecting piece are frictionally or non-positively cooperatively configured, so that the exchange unit can be snapped against a slight resistance to the housing of the discharge head and removable after use.
  • the connecting piece itself is designed for use as a discharge opening and is additionally provided that the exchange unit has a discharge opening which communicates with the outlet of the mixing chamber in the exchange unit.
  • This design makes it possible to use the discharge head with and without exchange unit.
  • Embodiments in which the discharge opening is part of the exchange unit are also possible and expedient for other types of exchange units.
  • Such designs have in common that the replacement of the exchange unit also leads to the replacement of all parts that have come into contact with the additional medium.
  • Such a design is therefore particularly useful for applications in which different varieties of additional medium are used as intended or usually with the same liquid dispenser.
  • the liquid dispenser has a discharge head which has a coupling nozzle facing the liquid storage at the discharge channel pointing in the direction of the liquid store.
  • the exchange unit also has a coupling connection, which is designed to be coupled to said coupling connection of the discharge head, wherein the exchange unit-side coupling connection is communicatively connected to the outlet of the mixing chamber.
  • the exchange unit has an inlet connection, which is designed to communicate with the storage outlet of the liquid storage.
  • the exchange unit is inserted between the discharge head provided for reuse and the liquid storage, wherein the outlet is connected to the coupling nozzle of the discharge head and the inlet is connected to the storage outlet.
  • the discharge head is withdrawn and then the spent exchange unit deducted from the discharge head or the storage outlet.
  • a new exchange unit is plugged onto the discharge head or the liquid storage and the discharge head and the liquid storage are reassembled with exchange unit arranged therebetween.
  • a design is considered particularly advantageous in which the mixing chamber of the Exchange unit is limited at least partially and preferably based on the area for the most part of Folienwandungen.
  • Such a replacement unit is particularly inexpensive to manufacture.
  • the foil wall can have a simple plastic wall.
  • an advantage is a composite of film layers, which together ensure that the additional medium is stored resistant to aging. Depending on the nature of the additional medium different, possibly also metallic film layers may be appropriate.
  • the exchange unit has a rigid section.
  • the exchange unit is then constructed as a kind of composite unit of a flexible bag-like portion and a rigid portion adjacent to the flexible portion.
  • the exchange unit and in particular its rigid portion are preferably adapted to the receiving space such that the rigid portion is positively fixed in a defined position on the receiving space. This facilitates insertion of the replacement unit and ensures accurate orientation as required for opening the closure associated with the inlet and / or outlet.
  • the rigid section is penetrated in a particularly advantageous variant on the inlet side or outlet side of the discharge channel.
  • the outlet channel on the inlet or outlet side is thus also precisely positioned by the positioning of the rigid section in the receiving space, which serves to connect to discharge head side portions of the discharge channel or precisely position the discharge opening as part of the rigid section.
  • closures in the form of switching valves which are spent during commissioning in a stable opening state.
  • the replacement unit has two subunits which are displaceable against each other once for the purpose of activation, wherein the closure at the inlet and / or at the outlet of the mixing chamber is designed as a sliding valve, which by the relative movement in the course of activation is opened.
  • a pressure surface for transferring the valve, in particular the said slide valve, into an open state, is preferably provided on an outer side of the exchange unit, in particular preferably on an outer side of the exchange unit designed as a discharge, a pressure surface, by means of which the subunits can be moved against each other. This makes it immediately apparent from the replacement unit whether it has already been used or is still unexploited.
  • the pressure surface can also coincide with an actuating surface of the discharge head, so that a uniform movement opens the exchange unit and triggers the discharge process.
  • the closure at the inlet and / or at the outlet of the mixing chamber can be configured with a release liner.
  • a release liner usually has an adhesive side, with which it is glued on a perforated from the discharge channel on the inlet side or outlet side surface.
  • the release liner further comprises a free portion which does not adhere to the surface and therefore can be easily grasped for the purpose of releasing the release liner.
  • closures provide a closure surface which is destroyed in the course of placing the exchange unit on the storage outlet or the connecting piece by an opening element.
  • the opening element which is preferably configured at least partially sharp-edged, is arranged in the installed or mounted state of the replacement unit where previously the closure surface of the replacement unit was arranged. During the movement of the exchange unit into the intended position, the opening element therefore comes into contact with the closure surface and punctures, tears or breaks them.
  • a closure surface provided for destruction may preferably be formed with local weakenings in order to ensure a defined bursting.
  • opening element in the receiving space of the receiving space and the exchange unit are formed with respect to their outer shape such that upon insertion of the exchange unit in the receiving space, an elastic stress in walls of the receiving space and / or the exchange unit is generated, which discharges during continued insertion such in that as a result the opening element is pressed against the closure surface and destroys it.
  • closure surface which limits the mixing chamber of the exchange unit on the side of the inlet or the outlet, provides that the closure surface is designed so that it can be opened destructively by means of an opening pressure which is less than that of the pressure accumulator or can be generated by the conveyor pressure. The pressure from the accumulator or the conveyor is therefore sufficient to destroy the closure surface as intended.
  • Such a closure surface can therefore remain intact until the liquid dispenser is first actuated with a previously unused exchange unit. However, as soon as pressurized liquid presses against the closure surface from the side of the liquid reservoir, it is destroyed, so that the liquid can pass.
  • the maximum fluid pressure depends solely on the structural design of the accumulator and the pressure ex works built pressure.
  • the maximum pressure may be dependent on the actuating force.
  • said closure surface is preferably such that it is destructible upon depression of the discharge head with a constant 20 Newton, preferably already at a constant 10 Newton.
  • the invention relates primarily in the manner described to a liquid dispenser of the type mentioned, comprising the reusable unit comprising the liquid storage and possibly a reusable discharge head, and a replacement unit with said closures, the closures are still intact in the delivery state and only by the end user be opened.
  • Such a dispenser is preferably intended to be used successively with a plurality of identical exchange units with the same or different additional media.
  • the invention therefore also relates to a corresponding set which describes the liquid dispenser of the described Type and at least one additional exchange unit comprises, so that at least two identical exchange units are part of the set.
  • the replacement units to supplement a previously acquired liquid dispenser can be purchased separately or several separately, so that the separate exchange units of the type described individually or in sets of at least two exchange units are understood as part of the invention.
  • Preferred applications of a liquid dispenser according to the invention are, in particular, skin and hair care.
  • the main fluid in the fluid reservoir is a skin cream or lotion, in particular for facial care.
  • the replacement units can then be used to individualize the skin cream according to the personal needs of the skin, for example, with active ingredients that specifically treat various effects of skin aging, such as wrinkles, uneven skin, or enlarged skin pores.
  • a similar purpose is served by the use of replacement units which are felt with a tanning medium in varying amounts or efficacy to achieve a mild change rather than a very short-term in a tanning cream treatment.
