Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cream dispenser for dispensing liquid onto the skin of a user, that is to say for topical use.
  • Such dispensers are used in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical fields.
  • Generic and inventive cream dispensers are usually designed as tube dispensers and comprise, in addition to the usually one-piece tube body, as well as a plastic discharge head attached to it with a discharge opening.
  • the discharge head In order to avoid drying out and / or to improve erectability, the discharge head has a hinged cover which covers a discharge opening in the closed state.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a cream dispenser that can be produced inexpensively and that is characterized by its haptically pleasant operation with regard to the opening of the hinged lid.
  • a cream dispenser for dispensing liquid on the skin of a user which dispenser has a liquid reservoir with an outlet connection and a discharge head with an outlet channel and a discharge opening at the end of the outlet channel.
  • the discharge head comprises an outlet valve with a valve pressure chamber, through the internal pressure of which the outlet valve can be opened.
  • a cream dispenser according to the invention is designed to dispense liquids of higher viscosity, that is to say cream-like or gel-like substances.
  • the liquid reservoir of a dispenser according to the invention is accordingly filled with such a liquid, which can be purely cosmetic or purely pharmaceutically effective liquids or a mixed form with cosmetic and pharmaceutical purpose.
  • the discharge head comprises in particular two components, namely an inner component and an outer component.
  • the outer component has an end wall which is penetrated by the outlet channel and in which the and discharge opening is provided.
  • the inner component comprises a connecting piece, which extends in a main direction of extent, for connection to the outer connecting piece of the liquid reservoir. It also has a valve surface which is arranged opposite an inlet of the outlet channel, the valve surface and the inlet of the outlet channel jointly forming the said outlet valve and being coordinated with one another in such a way that the outlet valve is opened and closed by relative displacement of the valve surface and the outlet channel to one another can.
  • the inner component and the outer component are firmly and sealingly connected to one another to form a valve pressure chamber along a circumferential fastening area on an inside of a lateral surface of the outer component.
  • the inner component and the outer component thus jointly define a valve pressure chamber into which liquid from the liquid reservoir, in particular the tube, is pressed.
  • the increasing pressure leads to a spacing of the opposing walls on the side of the inner component and the outer component and thus causes the valve to open.
  • the cream can now escape in a dosed manner through the discharge opening in the front wall. In particular, it therefore preferably reaches a flat outside of the end wall, from where it is applied to the user's skin.
  • the named outside is therefore preferably free of sharp edges, since this is perceived as unpleasant in skin contact.
  • the discharge head has a hinged cover which, in a closed state, covers the discharge opening and which is provided with a hinge on one side and, opposite to this, is designed with a first latching edge for a closing attachment to the outer component.
  • the hinged cover is preferably a one-piece part of the outer component, its essentially non-movable Part together with the inner component forms a base of the discharge head and onto which the hinged cover can be molded in one piece as a movable part.
  • a release button is provided on the non-movable part of the outer component, which is provided with a second locking edge which, when the hinged cover is closed, engages with the first locking edge on the hinged cover and can be released from this locking by pressing the release button so that the hinged cover can be opened.
  • the fastening area in which the inner component is fastened to the outer component, is arranged at the level of the release button in relation to the main extension direction, so that the release button is displaced in the direction of the fastening area when it is actuated.
  • the ability to press the release button is limited in a defined manner.
  • This area of the discharge head has a high level of stability, since the inner component and the outer component are connected to one another in it.
  • the mechanical coupling means as such stiffen this area.
  • the construction of the inner component and its choice of material can ensure a particularly stable structure.
  • the release button can therefore only be pressed in to a limited extent until it is pressed against the stable fastening area and cannot be moved any further. This clear limitation of mobility is perceived as pleasant to the touch and reduces the risk of the release button being accidentally canceled.
  • the outer component and the inner component are preferably tightly connected by a snap connection.
  • one of the components, in particular the outer component has a circumferential groove into which a circumferential web of the other component, in particular an outer edge of the inner component, is snapped tightly and tightly.
  • the inner component preferably has a ring section extending transversely to the main direction of extent, the outer circumference of which is firmly and tightly connected to the outer component in the fastening area.
  • This ring section has a radial direction of extent which is directed opposite to the pressing force acting on the release button and thus has a particularly good stiffening effect.
  • the outer component is preferably made of rather soft plastic, since this is advantageous for the function of the joint, for the deformability of the release button and for the flexibility of the end wall, which is perceived as pleasant.
  • the inner component can be made of a more rigid and less elastic material than the outer component. This facilitates assembly and at the same time improves the rigidity of the fastening area.
  • the inner component has, at least in the region of its ring section, a greater wall thickness than an end wall of the outer component that delimits the valve pressure chamber together with the inner component. This also promotes the flexibility of the end wall and the rigidity of the fastening area.
  • the inner component preferably has an essentially flat surface section from which the connecting piece rises on one side and the outer area of which forms the said ring section.
  • the surface section is preferably provided on the inside of the connecting piece with the valve surface and at least one fluid opening.
  • the inner component thus preferably has a basically flat shape from which only the connection piece and, if applicable, a structure that forms the valve surface of the inner component rises.
  • the release button can in particular be designed as a release tongue which is formed elastically on one side on the outer component and at the distal end of which the latching edge is provided. It is preferably provided that the release button is separated from the surrounding surface of the outer component by a slot. This separation by a slot with only one-sided connection of the release button to an at least partially surrounding jacket wall enables easy pressing. However, there is no need to fear that the release button will break off due to the stop in the fastening area.
  • the hinged lid is preferably shaped or provided with such a hinge that it is under pretension in the closed state and automatically when the release button is pressed pops up.
  • a preload is advantageous, on the one hand, because the release button alone is sufficient to bring the dispenser into a ready-to-dispense state without the hinged cover having to be manually moved to its end position, in particular preferably pivoted by 180 °.
  • the preload is still advantageous, however, since it keeps the latching connection between the hinged cover and the release button under tension. Despite the intended ease of movement of the release button as such, an unintentional depression of the release button is thus prevented.
  • the hinge for connecting the hinged cover is preferably designed in such a way that it is under tension in the closed state, which is relaxed in the course of opening.
  • the hinged cover it is also particularly advantageous for the hinged cover to spring open reliably and independently if it is in contact with the front wall of the outer component under tension in the area of contact.
  • the fact that the inside of the hinged cover rests against the end wall of the outer component is already advantageous for closing the discharge opening.
  • a tension present in the end wall or the hinged cover as a result also promotes opening in the manner described.
  • the hinged lid can have a cover surface that covers the end wall of the outer component, is curved in the direction of the discharge opening and thereby rests against the end wall surrounding the discharge opening in the closed state under prestress.
  • the aforementioned cover surface has a size which preferably exceeds that of the end wall.
  • the cover surface is preferably free of additional structures such as elevations or depressions and thus deviates from a completely flat shape only because of the curvature in the direction of the discharge opening. This makes it easy to remove liquid residues from the inside.
  • the cover surface is preferably adjoined by a circumferential jacket surface on which the joint and the latching edge on the hinged cover are provided.
  • the fastening area which promotes the stability of the discharge head in the above-mentioned manner, is formed in relation to the main direction of extent by the area in which the inner component and the inner side of the outer component lie against one another and thereby create a solid and liquid-tight connection.
  • the release button preferably extends in relation to the main direction of extent on both sides of this fastening area, that is to say, coming from the direction of the liquid reservoir, beyond the fastening area.
  • the end of the release button pointing away from the liquid reservoir and / or the latching edge on the release button only extend up to the fastening area, but not beyond it.
  • the discharge head can have a hinged cover which, in a closed state, covers the discharge opening and the end wall and which is pivotably linked to the base by means of a joint.
  • a hinged cover which, in a closed state, covers the discharge opening and the end wall and which is pivotably linked to the base by means of a joint.
  • On the base and on the hinged cover mutually opposing locking edges are provided, by means of which the hinged cover can be locked to the base in the closed state.
  • the latching edge and the joint are offset from one another on the base with respect to the main direction of extent, so that the latching device on the hinged lid in the fully pivoted state is further away from the discharge opening in relation to the main direction of extension than when the hinged lid is closed.
  • the hinged cover can preferably be pivoted between the closed position and the maximum pivoted position by approximately 180 ° (+/- 20 °). Its specialty lies in the fact that the joint and in particular the pivot axis defined by the joint on the one hand and the latching edge for latching on the base on the other hand are offset relative to one another in relation to the main direction of extent.
  • This offset leads to the locking edge of the hinged cover being set back particularly far from an end wall of the base when the hinged cover is opened. This is advantageous for comfortable use, since the cream that was initially applied to the front wall of the base can be applied from here to the skin of a user, thereby reducing the risk that the comparatively sharp-edged locking edge of the lid inadvertently also falls into place Skin contact.
  • the latching device on the base and the joint are preferably arranged offset from one another by at least 3 mm, preferably by at least 5 mm, in relation to the main direction of extent.
  • the distance to an end of a lateral surface of the discharge head pointing in this direction is preferably 5 mm or less.
  • the locking edge of the base is as far away from the liquid reservoir as possible in relation to the main direction of extent. It is considered advantageous if the locking edge is set back only slightly, in particular by less than 3 mm, with respect to the outer surface of the end wall. However, the distance should not be less than 1 mm if possible so that the locking edge of the base does not come into skin contact when the cream is applied to the skin.
  • a support edge is provided on both sides of the outside of the outer component, on which a peripheral surface of the hinged cover rests in the closed state.
  • the support edges are designed as edges rising steadily from the joint to the locking device.
  • the figures illustrate the structure of a cream dispenser according to the invention.
  • Fig. 1 shows the cream dispenser 10 in the delivery state.
  • the cream dispenser 10 comprises a liquid reservoir 12, which in the present case is designed as a tube and is thus provided for actuation by manually applying pressure to the outer surfaces.
  • a liquid reservoir 12 which in the present case is designed as a tube and is thus provided for actuation by manually applying pressure to the outer surfaces.
  • other concepts are also fundamental conceivable, for example with a displaceable piston which is pushed into the liquid reservoir at the end in order to convey liquid out of it.
  • a discharge head 20 is attached to the liquid reservoir 12, for example by means of a threaded connection or a snap connection.
  • the discharge head has a base that remains essentially immovable in relation to the liquid reservoir during operation, as well as a hinged cover 60 which, when closed, covers a discharge opening 44 and can be unlocked and opened by means of a release button 48.
  • Fig. 2 shows the individual components of the cream dispenser 10.
  • the liquid reservoir 12 is in the state of FIG Fig. 2 still in the unfilled state and is therefore not yet closed at its lower end opposite an outlet connector 14.
  • the discharge head 20 has two components 30, 40, namely an inner component 30 and an outer component 40.
  • the inner component is formed with thicker walls and / or made of stiffer material and forms the less deformable of the two components 30, 40.
  • the inner component 30 is firmly connected to the outer component 40 in the assembled state. It also has a connection piece 32 which is designed for coupling to the outlet connection 14 of the liquid reservoir 12 by means of the aforementioned threaded connection or a snap connection.
  • FIGS 3 and 3A show the discharge head 20 in the ready-to-use, open state.
  • the outer component 40 has a jacket wall 46 to which an end wall 49 adjoins at the end.
  • This end wall 49 is penetrated by the outlet channel 42, which opens into the discharge opening 44.
  • Said end wall 49 is almost flat on the outside and is only slightly concave. The outside is free of elevations or depressions on the outside, so that cream previously applied to the front wall can be applied from here to the skin.
  • the jacket wall 46 is provided with a slot 47 in the area of the release button, which separates the release button 48 laterally and upwards from the surrounding wall and thus allows the release button 48 to move freely.
  • the inner component 30 is connected to the outer component 40 to jointly form a valve pressure chamber 52.
  • an outer edge in the area of the outer circumference 36A of an annular section 36 of the inner component 30 is latched into a groove on the inside of the jacket wall 46 of the outer component 40.
  • This contact area forms the fastening area 46A in the sense of the invention.
  • the connection of the outer component 40 and the inner component 30 in the fastening area 46A is intended to be non-detachable and tight. Liquid that reaches the valve pressure chamber 52 from the liquid reservoir through liquid openings 33 in the inner component 30 can therefore only exit through the discharge opening 44.
  • the outlet channel 42 which penetrates the end wall 49, and a valve surface 34 on a conical section-shaped elevation, which is provided centrally on the inner component 30, together form an outlet valve 50 which is closed by the slightly pretensioned shape of the end wall 49 in the idle state. If the liquid in the liquid reservoir 12 is pressurized, in particular by compressing the tube, the pressurized liquid reaches the valve pressure chamber 52 and leads to a deformation of the end wall 49 to the outside. The outlet valve 50 is thereby opened and the liquid can reach the outside of the end wall 49. If a sufficient amount of liquid has been applied to the end wall 49, it can be applied to the skin directly from there.
  • the discharge head 20 has a hinged cover 60.
  • this is designed as a one-piece part of the outer component and is connected to it by means of a one-piece joint 62 in the manner of a film hinge.
  • a multi-part design is also possible.
  • the hinged cover 60 has a slightly concavely curved cover surface 64, the inside of which is larger than the end wall 49 of the discharge head.
  • the inside is surrounded by an approximately cylindrical jacket surface and on the inside thereof does not have any elevations that extend beyond the arched basic shape. This means that cream residues can easily be removed here.
  • the already described release button 48 is provided for opening the hinged cover 60.
  • a latching edge 48A on the distal, upper end of the release button is latched with a corresponding latching edge 66 on the hinged cover 60. Since the cover is pretensioned in the area of its cover surface 64, the latching is quite firm in the closed state and unintentional pressing of the release button 48 and opening of the hinged cover are not to be feared. Nevertheless, this is possible in a simple and haptically pleasant manner with manual and voluntary actuation.
  • the release button 48 is cut free on three sides through the slots 47 and can thus be easily pressed in. Pressing the release button 48 too far is avoided by the fact that it is in the position shown in FIG Figure 3A strikes the outside of the fastening area 46A, as illustrated by dashed lines.
  • the hinged cover pops open. Due to the pre-tensioning in the area of the cover surface 64 as well as a suitable pre-tensioned design of the joint, it can be achieved in the ideal case that the open state of the Fig. 3 is achieved in that the hinged cover is pivoted by about 180 °.
  • Fig. 3 illustrates the relative arrangement of the latching edges 48A, 66 on the one hand and the joint 62 on the other hand.
  • the joint 62 In relation to the main direction of extent 2 and the closed state, the joint 62 is significantly closer to the liquid reservoir 12, in the perspective of FIG Fig. 3 so arranged further down than the latching edges 48A, 66.
  • the offset which is approximately 6 mm in relation to the main direction of extent, leads to the fact that in the open state the latching edge 66 is more than twice as far, in this case about 13 mm, from the plane of Outside of the end wall 49 is spaced apart.
