Definitions

  • the invention relates to an adapter for a product dispenser and a product dispenser for dispensing a medium.
  • a dispenser for dispensing an adhesive or sealant from a pressure vessel via a valve has a lever for operating the valve.
  • the lever can be pivoted about a horizontal axis transversely to the longitudinal axis of a dispensing sleeve.
  • the actuating lever can be pivoted radially about a longitudinal axis of the dispensing sleeve for metering the medium.
  • a further dispenser for dispensing a medium from a pressure vessel is known.
  • a dispensing valve which is surrounded by a cap is provided on this container. This cap engages the pressure vessel.
  • An operating lever is provided on the cap. This operating lever is provided horizontally from a packaging position through a guide groove to the longitudinal axis of the valve on the pressure vessel. After being pulled out via a sliding guide, the actuating lever can be pivoted around a film hinge on the cap and the dispensing sleeve can be actuated.
  • Another dispenser for dispensing a medium from a pressure vessel via a dispensing valve with a lever.
  • the lever is provided on an adapter attachment for positioning on the container.
  • the lever can be moved into an actuating position along a displacement path which is inclined at an angle of 45 ° to the longitudinal axis of the adapter attachment in order to subsequently control a pivoting movement for dispensing the medium via the dispensing valve.
  • a product dispenser for dispensing a medium comprises a valve which closes a container opening of a pressure container for receiving a medium to be dispensed.
  • a Adapter provided, which has an actuating lever for controlling the valve.
  • the actuating lever is attached to the adapter via a swivel arrangement, the actuating lever being transferable from an initial position in which the valve is closed by a swivel movement into an active position in which the valve is actuated to dispense the medium.
  • This product dispenser for dispensing a medium from a pressure vessel.
  • This product dispenser comprises an actuating lever with a handle arranged thereon, which is positioned to rotate about a longitudinal axis of the valve dispensing opening.
  • a product discharge rate can be set continuously between a maximum rate and a minimum rate.
  • the operating lever can be swiveled towards the pressure vessel in order to dispense the valve into an active position for dispensing the medium depending on the set exit rate.
  • the invention is based on the object of proposing an adapter for a product dispenser and a product dispenser, in which an unintentional dispensing of the medium is prevented during transport.
  • an adapter for a product dispenser which can be fastened on both sides of a container opening of a pressure vessel.
  • the adapter has a pivot arrangement which pivots the actuating lever with the handle arranged thereon relative to the adapter base body, the actuating lever being moved from an unlocking position, in which the actuating lever is between the starting position in which the valve is closed, and an active position in which the Valve is open, can be pivoted, can be transferred into a locking position.
  • the pivot arrangement of the adapter is formed by a pivot axis and at least one elongated hole and the pivot axis in a first and a second End position can be arranged within the elongated hole.
  • the actuating lever can be arranged in two positions, namely a first end position, which preferably corresponds to the locking position, and in a second end position, which corresponds, for example, to the unlocking position, by a sliding movement.
  • a first end position which preferably corresponds to the locking position
  • a second end position which corresponds, for example, to the unlocking position
  • the sliding movement of the actuating lever is preferably guided by the pivot arrangement and the actuating lever is displaceable relative to an output sleeve on the adapter base body. This enables a simple and compact arrangement to be created.
  • the actuating lever can preferably be arranged in the locking position and in the unlocking position by a sliding movement.
  • the actuating lever with the handle arranged on it can thus be transferred in a simple manner from a secured position to an unlocked position in order to subsequently dispense the medium in a controlled manner by the user.
  • the elongated hole of the pivot arrangement preferably has an angled course, through which the handle can be arranged from the locking position into the unlocking position.
  • This angled course of the elongated hole has the advantage that the pivot axis does not slip when the actuating lever is pulled off / pivoted. This pivot axis is pulled down relative to the handle, and the handle cannot inadvertently slide forwards or backwards.
  • a greater distance from the adapter base body and the outer wall of the pressure vessel can be created. This allows additional space for operating the handle to move the valve from an initial position in which the valve is closed transfer an active position to the output of the medium.
  • the displacement movement of the actuating lever between the first and second end position preferably has a first displacement path, which is provided transversely or radially to the longitudinal axis of the valve opening of the pressure vessel or the adapter base body and a second, adjoining displacement path which is inclined with respect to the first displacement path .
  • This has the advantage that, in a locking position, the handle can be positioned close to or adjacent to an outer wall of the pressure vessel. In the unlocked position, the handle is a distance away from the outer wall of the pressure vessel and enables a pivoting movement to operate the valve and dispense the medium.
  • the actuating lever preferably has a stop which is provided pointing towards an adapter base body which can be positioned on the container opening. Opposite the stop, a projection arranged on the dispensing sleeve is preferably provided which points towards the actuating lever.

The actuating lever is blocked with respect to a pivoting movement away from the adapter base body by the projection which rests on the actuating element. In the opposite direction, a pivoting movement of the actuating lever towards the adapter base body is blocked by the stop on the actuation lever which rests on the adapter base body. In and against the one displacement direction essentially at right angles or transversely to the longitudinal axis of the container opening, on the other hand, the actuating lever can be simply released from this locking position.
  • the actuating lever is preferably held clamped in the locking position between the projection on the dispensing sleeve and the adapter base body. As a result, the locking position can be additionally secured.
  • the pivot axis when moving the pivot arrangement into a first end position, can be passed through a constriction in the at least one elongated hole, so that the pivot axis is positioned in a latching manner in the first end position.
  • the at least one elongated hole is provided on the actuation lever at an end of the actuating lever opposite the handle, which is connected to a pivot axis fixedly arranged on the adapter base body.
  • the pivot axis can also be provided on the actuating lever and the at least one elongated hole can be formed on the adapter base body.
  • the adapter preferably comprises the adapter base body with an output sleeve which is connected to the adapter base body via an elastic connection, in particular a membrane or a joint.
  • the dispensing sleeve can be moved towards the valve.
  • the adapter base body and the dispensing sleeve as well as an elastic connection arranged between them are preferably designed as an injection-molded part made of plastic.
  • the displaceable connection of the dispensing sleeve to the adapter base body which is preferably designed in the form of a ring, can thereby be designed in a simple manner.
  • the preferred one-piece design also enables simple handling.
  • an actuating element arranged on the actuating lever can engage a cam on the dispensing sleeve.
  • a pivoting movement of the handle can produce an axial displacement movement of the dispensing sleeve in the direction of the valve, by means of which the valve can be transferred into an active position for dispensing the medium.
  • the dispensing sleeve has, on an inner side in relation to the elastic connection of the dispensing sleeve to the adapter base body, a connection which engages the valve and, opposite or on an outside of the adapter base body, has a connector on which a grommet is attachable.
  • a flow channel can be formed in the adapter base body which transfers the medium flowing out of the valve via the dispensing sleeve into the spout for dispensing at the place of use.
  • a cap can preferably be placed on the adapter base body, which cap surrounds at least the pivoting arrangement of the adapter, the container opening and at least partially the actuating lever. This forms a protection against damage to the swivel arrangement.
  • the cap has a recess through which the actuating lever is led out so that the handle is arranged outside the cap.
  • a tamper-evident closure is preferably provided in the recess. This makes it possible to determine in a simple manner whether there is a still unopened product dispenser.
  • the tamper-evident closure on the cap is provided by at least one web-shaped connection in the exception.
