Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an ampoule holder for producing an applicator, comprising a tubular ampoule holder accommodated in a handle housing.
  • ampoule holders are already known from the prior art.
  • Ampoules are used in numerous applications to store and distribute fluid or powdery substances, for example in the field of cosmetics or pharmaceuticals, in individual portions.
  • the advantage here is in particular that the content in the ampoule is encapsulated in the ampoule by fusing the ampoule access and thereby sealing the ampoule in a diffusion-tight manner, thereby minimizing external influences.
  • ampoules are made of glass, advantageously made of tubular glass.
  • breakable ampoules have a predetermined breaking point for this purpose, which is marked either with a breakable ring or a weak point and at which the material can easily be broken off.
  • ampoules can usually be opened by hand.
  • So-called ampoule breakers are available for a defined and as harmless as possible opening of the ampoule, which are placed against the predetermined breaking point and cause a break in the area of the predetermined breaking point by means of an azimuthal rotary movement, i.e. a rotary movement around a transverse axis of the ampoule. While the separated ampoule head remains in the ampoule breaker and can be removed from there later or falls out, the now opened ampoule can then be inserted into the ampoule holder.
  • the ampoule holder with the inserted ampoule can be supplemented with an applicator using a spray head or another removal head.
  • the present invention is based on the object of proposing an improved ampoule holder which facilitates the handling of the ampoule and avoids having to open the ampoule by hand for lack of tools.
  • an ampoule breaker is sensibly integrated into the ampule holder as a tool, so that it is always ensured that an ampule breaker is at hand in order to replace the ampule received in the ampule holder with a new one if necessary.
  • the ampoule holder is not only provided with a tubular ampoule receptacle but also with a tubular plug-in receptacle into which the head or spear of the closed ampoule can be inserted and broken off.
  • the ampoule holder has a handle housing in which both the ampoule receptacle and next to it, preferably parallel to it, the plug receptacle is inscribed as a tubular cavity, so that both the ampoule head and the opened receptacle can be inserted into the receptacle Ampoule can be made into the ampoule holder.
  • the plug-in receptacle is also kept smaller in diameter than the ampoule receptacle.
  • an ampoule holder is realized which is suitable both for opening and for accommodating the ampoule after opening.
  • the ampoule holder can be converted into an applicator in just a few simple steps.
  • the handle housing can be manufactured in one piece. This makes it sturdy, light and easy to use. In particular, such a one-piece production can be achieved with additive production, which enables the production of more complex shapes with areas that are otherwise difficult to access. This allows a material-saving construction as a hollow-chamber profile, so that a high compressive strength and torsional stiffness is guaranteed despite a small amount of material.
  • the plug-in receptacle of the ampoule holder can, with some advantage, be accessible from its bottom side and, in the area of the bottom side, have a break edge on the inner wall of the plug-in receptacle, which protrudes into the plug-in receptacle.
  • This breaking edge can be circumferentially in one piece, for example, or cover a section of the inner wall. Alternatively, it is also possible for the breaking edge to be distributed in segments around the inner circumference of the inner wall of the plug-in receptacle.
  • a screw thread can be assigned to the handle housing in the extension of the ampoule receptacle, to which a spray head can be detachably connected to the ampoule holder.
  • the ampoule can be held in a press fit, which is solely due to the shape of the ampoule holder.
  • a slotted thread that is to say a thread that is segmented by vertical material slots, a press fit can be produced while a cover is being screwed on, or here the spray head. In this case, the ampoule must first be brought into position and the spray head must then be screwed on to create a press fit.
  • this clamp fit which can be produced by simply plugging in without the screw connection, or by tightening the screw thread, represents the only holder of the ampoule in the ampoule holder
  • a passage is provided through which a capillary of the spray head can be pushed into the interior of the ampoule in order to convey product out of the ampoule and atomize it.
  • a bottom stop must be provided, which can be in the form of a flat bottom, a cross strut or a bottom-side narrowing of the ampoule receptacle. This allows the ampoule to be exchanged only after a possible spray head has been completely removed through its screw thread.
  • the bottom stop can be attached at different heights. In particular, it is intended to provide these in different ampoule adapters for ampoule sizes of 1 ml, 2 ml and 5 ml. This can also be achieved by a removable insert, which converts a deep bottom stop into a high bottom stop and fills part of the ampoule receptacle.
  • a plurality of clamping jaws distributed over the inner circumference can be assigned to the inside of the ampoule receptacle, which jaws can be in the form of material elevations distributed over the inner circumference of the ampoule receptacle, for example.
  • both the ampoule receptacle and the plug receptacle can be provided with an elongated hole.
  • the ampoule When the ampoule is inserted into the ampoule receptacle, it can be pushed back and forth through the elongated hole, for example with a finger, and thus remains easier to handle.
  • the handle housing is designed as an otherwise full-surface housing and as a result no access to the inserted ampoule is possible from other sides. Because the round ampoule is inserted into the ampoule holder and the likewise round ampoule holder is cut through the elongated hole, the ampoule protrudes with a curved section from the elongated hole. This allows it to be easily moved with one finger.
  • the plug-in receptacle can also have such an elongated hole, which is used essentially in the same way in order to convey the ampoule head out of the plug-in receptacle after it has been broken off.
  • this can be useful when the elongated hole is half-open, that is, opens into the insertion opening in the direction of the bottom side of the ampoule holder. This enables the ampoule or the ampoule head to be pushed out of the ampoule holder in one go.
  • At least the elongated hole which is provided in the ampoule receptacle is arranged in a recessed grip so that the elongated hole can be reached with the finger through the recessed grip despite a preferably central location in the handle housing.
  • the recessed grip allows a particularly good form fit between the finger and the ampoule protruding into the recessed grip.
  • a second recessed grip can preferably also be arranged on the opposite side of the handle housing.
  • the second recessed grip can be designed to be less deep, so that an overlap with the ampoule receptacle does not result in a second elongated hole, since this would reduce the stability of the handle housing.
  • FIG. 1 shows an ampoule holder 1, which has a handle housing 2 for producing an applicator.
  • the handle housing 2 is formed in the manner of a handy bottle, in the core of which an ampoule holder 7 is arranged. This is a tubular cavity into which an opened ampoule can be inserted.
  • the ampoule is held in a press fit in the ampoule receptacle 7, the opening of the ampoule pointing upwards in the direction of a screw thread 6.
  • the interior of the screw thread 6 communicates with the interior of the ampoule via a through opening on the bottom of the screw thread 6 or on the ceiling of the ampoule receptacle 7.
  • a capillary of a spray head can dip into a liquid held in the ampoule and deliver and atomize them upon actuation of the spray head.
  • the handle housing 2 which is round in its basic shape, has a recessed grip 4 on its front side, which is curved inward and thereby cuts the ampoule receptacle 7.
  • a half-open elongated hole 9 is formed in the sectional plane, via which a clamped ampoule can be pushed out of the ampoule holder after use with little effort and without tools.
  • the handle housing 2 is provided with a plug-in receptacle 11 parallel to the ampoule receptacle 7 with a reduced diameter compared to the ampoule receptacle 7, which in turn forms a half-open elongated hole 13 with the outer shell of the handle housing 2.
  • the plug-in receptacle 11 serves in this context as an ampoule breaker.
  • a closed ampoule is first inserted with its head into the plug-in receptacle 11.
  • the plug-in receptacle 11 is circular in diameter and is therefore suitable for receiving the ampoule head in itself.
  • the inner wall of the plug-in receptacle 11 has several break edges 14 distributed over its inner circumference, which, when the ampoule head is inserted through the insertion opening 12, lean against the ampoule neck, which forms a predetermined breaking point in the ampoule.
  • the ampoule While the ampoule, the outer wall of which protrudes from the inside into the concave recessed grip 4 via the elongated hole 9 when inserted, can be pushed out of the ampoule receptacle along the elongated hole 9 with the thumb if necessary, there is a second recessed grip on the opposite side of the handle housing 2 5 is provided, which, however, is cut straight in the present case and therefore does not reach as far as the ampoule receptacle.
  • An improved ampoule holder is thus described above, which facilitates the handling of the ampoule and avoids having to open the ampoule by hand for lack of tools.
