Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for dispensing a liquid product, the device comprising a receiving body, a closure and fastening device and an adapter device.
- the invention relates to a kit comprising a device for dispensing a liquid product and an auxiliary.
- soap dispenser devices are known with which soap or other liquid or foam-shaped personal care products or cleaning agents can be dispensed to a user.
- These personal care products or cleaning agents are preferably referred to as liquid products and are later specified.
- devices are known in the commercial sector, for example in hotels, which comprise a container for the liquid product which can be compressed.
- the container is made of a material that has a certain elasticity, so that the compression causes the liquid product to be squeezed out of the container. If an opening is provided in the lower region of such a soap dispenser, the liquid product can leave the container through this opening and be dispensed into the hand of a user.
- a disadvantage of these soap dispensers which work with a squeeze or press mechanism, is that the container is touched, in particular over a large area, by different users when squeezing or squeezing. Contamination can stick to the outside of the container. If these contaminants contain pathogens, they can be transferred from a previous user to a later user.
- Another disadvantage is that a relatively large force is often required to compress the containers. This force may not be able to be applied by small children or the elderly, so that these groups of people may experience difficulties when using a soap dispenser based on a squeeze mechanism. In particular, practically all fingers of one hand are required when compressing the bottle, which is disadvantageous can be because it makes handling the bottle or the soap dispenser more difficult.
- the material from which the sgueeze container is made can become brittle and break at certain points or have damage due to the frequent compression and the loads to which the container is exposed due to temperature and moisture.
- Soap dispensers are also known from the prior art, in which the liquid product is also dispensed downwards and which have a pressure mechanism in the front area of the soap dispenser.
- the liquid product can also be dispensed via a lever or bracket attached to the lower area of the soap dispenser.
- These soap dispensers often have plastic boxes that form the soap dispenser or resemble vending machines. They are often placed on the walls next to vanities.
- a disadvantage of these soap dispensers is that the liquid product that is dispensed often falls onto the floor and thus leads to contamination on the floor of the bathroom or the toilet. Not only is this aesthetic, it can also pose a safety hazard if a person slips on the soap film. If the soap dispenser is attached above a washstand, this can be contaminated by dripping liquid product, which undesirably increases the cleaning effort by cleaning staff.
- the present invention seeks to provide a device for dispensing a liquid product, which does not have the shortcomings and disadvantages of conventional soap dispensers.
- the device to be provided should be particularly securely protected against manipulation, so that unauthorized third parties can not introduce foreign substances into the liquid product.
- the soap dispenser to be provided should be visually appealing and easy and intuitive to use. It should enable hygienic dispensing of the liquid product and space-saving attachment.
- the cleaning and maintenance of the soap dispenser to be provided should be easy and quick for the personnel provided for this purpose. This also applies in particular to the replacement of the soap container if the liquid product in the container only goes down. It would be desirable if the level inside the soap dispenser were easy for personnel to determine.
- a device for dispensing a liquid product comprising a receiving body, a closure and fastening device and an adapter device.
- the device is characterized in that the receiving body is constructed in several parts and comprises at least one inner container for receiving the liquid product and a two-part outer container, the outer container comprising an upper part and a lower part and being designed to receive the inner container, wherein the receiving body can be fastened to the adapter device with the closure and fastening device.
- the device of the outer container is formed at least in two parts, it also being preferred that the outer container comprises three, four, five or six components. without being limited to it.
- a lateral closure can also be provided on the outer container,
- the device is preferably a soap dispenser.
- the liquid product is preferably liquid soap; the device is also for dispensing shampoo, hair washing products, shower gel, conditioner for hair, hand sanitizer, sunscreen, massage or therapy oils, medical preparations, perfumes, room spray, water or water spray, body lotion, disinfectant, care and / or Cleaning products in liquid form are suitable, but are not limited to this.
- the named products are preferably also referred to as liquid products.
- the use of the term “soap dispenser” thus preferably represents an abbreviated name for a proposed liquid product dispenser.
- the proposed soap dispenser can also be dispensed in the food sector, for example for ketchup, mayonnaise or mustard, syrup, sauces, oils.
- the proposed soap dispenser in restaurants, public toilets, hotels, with airlines, in airplanes, on cruise ships, hospitals, office buildings, fitness studios, schools and / or daycare centers, without being restricted to this to be.
- the proposed soap dispenser advantageously combines an intuitive and easy-to-use pump mechanism with an attractive and high-quality exterior, in particular the multi-part receiving body with the inner container and the two-part outer container for economy.
- this last feature is preferably also referred to as an “inner refill cartridge”.
- the invention with its “invisible” anti-theft and tamper protection, represents an interesting alternative to known dispenser systems or other delivery options, such as portion packaging for personal care products, as used in some hotels.
- the wording that the outer container is formed in two parts should be understood in the sense of the invention in particular that the outer container comprises at least two components.
- the outer container comprises more than two, ie for example three, four, five or more components. It is particularly preferred in the sense of the invention that the lower part of the outer container itself is not designed as a container, but only forms a lower end plate of the outer container.
- the outer container then preferably comprises an upper part, which can be designed, for example, like the upper region of a bottle, and a lower part, which can be designed, for example, as a bottle bottom.
- Such a configuration should also be included in the sense of the invention by the term “multi-part outer container”.
- the lower part of the outer container is formed by a lower region of the adapter.
- the outer container comprises an upper part and a lower part, the lower part being formed by a component of the adapter device.
- the base or the platform can serve as the lower part of the outer container.
- the proposed structure of the soap dispenser has proven to be particularly advantageous because the use of an outer frame, which holds the soap dispenser, can be dispensed with.
- a frame is used in conventional soap dispensers that are used in the commercial sector, for example in hotels or cruise ships, to attach the soap dispenser to the wall.
- Such frames do not look nice on the one hand, on the other hand they give the user the undesirable impression of being seen as a potential thief.
- the proposed construction advantageously makes it possible for the soap dispenser to be fastened to a wall or a base without the optical impression-impairing fastening means, so that the user of the device is not given the impression of suspecting the soap dispenser or its contents want to steal.
- the formation or accumulation of mold or other contaminants is avoided by not using a frame.
- the proposed soap dispenser which does not require such a frame, does not negatively affect the overall visual impression of a bathroom.
- a particular advantage of the proposed soap dispenser is that it appears to be structurally particularly simple and elegant for the user, while the proposed structure with receiving body, closure and fastening device and adapter device means that the proposed soap dispenser has a number of disadvantages which are known in the prior art Technology described, does not have and instead proposes further improvements.
- the manipulation security of the proposed soap dispenser increased by the provision of a multi-part receiving body, which in particular comprises an inner and an outer container. This is because an unauthorized third party does not easily gain access to the inner container of the receptacle in which the liquid product is located.
- the present invention fulfills particularly high safety requirements with regard to manipulations and undesired contamination of the liquid product, without having extensive and optically impairing safety precautions.
- the receiving body is formed in several parts in the sense that the receiving body comprises at least one inner container and a two-part outer container.
- the receiving body preferably forms the lower region of the soap dispenser device, which in the sense of the invention is preferably also referred to as the “bottle” of the soap dispenser.
- the provision of an inner and an outer container, which together form a receiving body, is preferably referred to in the sense of the invention as a “bottle-in-bottle” system.
- Such "bottle-in-bottle” systems are not yet known in the field of commercial liquid product dispensers. It is very particularly preferred in the sense of the invention that the inner container is set up to receive the liquid product.
- the inner container is preferably configured to hold a volume of at least 100 ml of liquid product, particularly preferably of at least 300 ml.
- a volume of at least 100 ml of liquid product particularly preferably of at least 300 ml.
- bottle sizes with a capacity of 100 ml, 150 ml, 200 ml, 250 ml, 300 ml, 400 ml can be used , 500 ml, 1000 ml, 2000 ml or all larger, smaller and intermediate values may be preferred.
- the inner container is set up to hold a volume of, for example, 10 ml or volumes between 10 and 100 ml. This means that the inner container does not have to be replaced or refilled as often.
- the inner container is replaced when it is empty or the level of the liquid product approaches the bottom surface of the inner container.
- the empty or essentially empty container is preferably removed from the soap dispenser and replaced by another, preferably full, container.
- the inner container can include, for example, PET, PP, PE, PVC, aluminum composite materials.
- the inner container instead or in addition comprises or is formed from biodegradable materials such as cardboard, wood fibers or other plastic substitutes.
- the inner container is formed by a stable bottle.
- the inner container is formed by a bag-like structure.
- the inner container is designed as a disposable product, because the associated waste volume can be significantly reduced by a bag-like design. It is preferred in the sense of the invention that the inner container can be manufactured particularly cheaply as a disposable article due to its preferred provision, while the outer container, or its upper and lower part, can be of particularly high quality and visually appealing.
- the provision of the liquid product is particularly hygienic because - unlike conventional soap dispensers that are regularly refilled - no contaminants can get into the liquid product. Since the inner container can only be replaced by authorized personnel, for example housekeeping employees in a hotel, an airplane or on a cruise ship, it is also avoided that previous users are aware of the soap dispenser or its content, the liquid product willfully contaminate or manipulate. On the one hand, this increases the subjective feeling of security and cleanliness of the later users and, on the other hand, avoids that such occurrences actually occur.
- the proposed soap dispenser can in particular help to avoid legal damages or other lawsuits against the hotel operator or the airline using the proposed soap dispenser, since the risk of bodily harm and / or transmitted diseases from contamination and / or mold is particularly effectively reduced becomes.
- the invention is associated with the advantage that the customer, for example a hotel chain, an airline or a cruise operator, is bound to a particular manufacturer or provider because the customer the exchange containers filled with the liquid product must be obtained from the supplier.
- the closure and fastening device of the soap dispenser comprises means with which an undesired opening and / or replacement of the inner container by unauthorized persons is avoided.
- Authorized people are, in particular, those people who - as described above - work in housekeeping or are entrusted with the maintenance of the soap dispenser.
- They preferably have an aid by means of which the locking and fastening device can be released from a fastened state, so that first the upper part of the outer container can be detached from its lower part and then the inner container can be removed from the lower part of the outer container .
- This preferably enables an exchange of the inner container, which is, for example, empty, with a new inner container, which is, for example, filled with the liquid product.
- An aid can also be a lever or a lever effect in the sense of the invention, for example.
- the aid can, for example, be an additional means, such as a key, with which the locking and fastening device can be released from the outside.
- the aid is integrated in the device, for example if it is a lever for releasing the closure and fastening device.
- the closure and fastening device can comprise means with which undesired opening and / or replacement of the inner container by unauthorized persons is avoided.
- the preferred means can be, for example, so-called friction f / ' f means. These can be formed, for example, by a friction or toothed ring or friction surfaces, which are arranged in the preferably neck-shaped transition area between the container and the screw cap and, by their design, prevent unauthorized persons from opening and / or refilling the inner container.
- the friction f / ' f means can act mechanically, as described above, if they are formed, for example, by a ring gear or a friction surface. The occurrence of friction can also be achieved, for example, by gluing the components of the proposed soap dispenser.
- Another option for connecting the screw cap is a press Fit connection, in which the screw cap is preferably pressed onto the bottle neck from above and can then no longer be removed. This makes the closure tamper-proof ("tamper proo").
- the proposed soap dispenser further comprises an outer container formed at least in two parts.
- the two-part nature of the outer container is preferably expressed in that the outer container comprises an upper part and a lower part, which can preferably be inserted into one another.
- the upper part of the outer container may comprise a ring-shaped region in a lower region which has a somewhat smaller outer diameter than the rest of the upper part.
- the outer diameter of this ring-shaped region is somewhat smaller than the inner diameter of an upper region of the lower part of the outer container, so that there is a stable but still easily detachable connection between the upper part and the lower part of the outer container.
- the Aligned the outer and inner diameter of the upper part and the lower part of the outer container is preferably referred to in the sense of the invention as a corresponding design of the mentioned diameter to each other.
- the outer container is also adapted to accommodate the inner container.
- the inner container can be inserted into the lower part of the outer container, for example, and the combination of inner container and lower part can then be closed with the upper part, similar to a Russian matryoshka doll. It is preferred in the sense of the invention that the inner container is enclosed or enveloped by the outer container.
- the proposed soap dispenser includes a closure and Befest Trentsvor direction with which the container can be attached to an adapter device.
- the upper part of the closure and fastening device can be used to close the inner container in which the liquid product is present.
- the inner container is for example in its upper area similar to a bottle, such as a mineral water bottle, forms out.
- the upper region of the inner container comprises an opening through which the liquid product can be filled into the container.
- An outside thread or a friction fit or a press fit connection is preferably provided on an outside of this filling area.
- a Transition area of the closure and fastening device may be arranged, in particular a hollow cylindrical region of this transitional area. This can also be surrounded by a cover.
- a conventional pump mechanism can also be provided in the opening of the inner container, with which the liquid product can be conveyed upward or outward from the inner container. It can be preferred in the sense of the invention that the pump mechanism or its components and / or components are also set up to close the inner container, the upper region of the inner container preferably being surrounded by the region of the transition region which is formed in the manner of a hollow cylinder, whereby preferably a closure effect is achieved.
- the pump mechanism can essentially be of any desired design, with sensor-working mechanisms in particular being preferred in which the liquid product is automatically dispensed, for example, when a user's hand approaches the soap dispenser or the dispensing nozzle for the liquid product.
- the sensors used can be, for example, motion detectors, infrared and / or heat sensors.
- the closure and fastening device can be configured to connect the inner container and / or the outer container to the adapter device or to fix the inner container in the assembled outer container.
- the inner container can be used in the lower part and the upper part is first guided from above onto the inner container.
- the closure and fastening device can preferably serve to fix the upper part firmly on the lower part, so that the inner container is enclosed in the two-part outer container. The fixation is given before given by the interaction of the closure and fastening device with the adapter device.
- the lower part of the outer container can, for example, itself be connected with the adapter device.
- the device can have suitable fastening means or the lower part of the outer container can be fastened to the adapter device with a click or snap connection. It can also be preferred that the lower part of the outer container and adapter device are glued together.
- the receiving body can be fastened to the adapter device with the closure and fastening device. In the sense of the invention, this means that the receiving body can be fastened to the adapter device with the closure and fastening device. It is particularly preferred in the sense of the invention that the inner container and / or the outer container, which together form the receiving body, can be fastened to the adapter device with the closure and fastening device. This preferably means that the interaction of the adapter device and the closure and fastening device allows the two-part outer container to firmly close an inner container, the entire receiving body being held by the adapter device.
- the closure and fastening device comprises a first rail and a second rail, the rails having a bent end section in their lower region.
