Description

  The present invention is a dispenser for automatically dispensing a semi-fluid medium, in particular a toothpaste cream, from a tube with a mouthpiece, comprising an opening, and at least one dispensing unit for the tube inside, A dispenser having a housing with a switch, a motor, a drive and a control unit, in which a brush is positioned for placing a semi-fluid medium in an opening, and its use.

  There are a wide variety of items that are routinely needed and used by multiple people in the home. Such articles, which are needed many times daily by all people living in the home and do not exist for each individual in the home, often cause recurring discrepancies. For example, a member of the family does not screw the toothpaste tube, so that the toothpaste paste reaches the sink. Alternatively, only another member of the family puts the toothpaste tube lid on. As a result, the toothpaste tube falls to the floor as soon as the next user grasps only the lid of the tube, and the toothpaste paste also flows out. Other families consider it particularly good that the tube can no longer be opened only with auxiliary means, thus screwing the tube firmly. Such an enumeration can be continued arbitrarily.

  In addition, people who are unable to grasp small items, for example, due to injury or illness, must also perform the necessary routine hygiene and body care.

  In order to overcome the daily requirements, several tube dispensing aids are already known from the prior art.

  Thus, from the prior art, for example, a toothpaste cream tube squeezer comprising a base plate defining an elongated chamber holding a toothpaste cream tube is known. In addition, the squeezer includes two longitudinal rails on either side of the chamber, a lateral groove that is moved along the longitudinal rail between two opposing ends of the chamber, and the two on the shaft. Two gears assembled near the opposite ends and each engaging a longitudinal rail. In addition, the toothpaste cream tube squeezer includes two buttons, each attached to two opposite ends of the shaft for manual rotation, two covers for guiding the movement of the gear, and an elongated chamber and over the cover Including a cover over the base plate. The toothpaste cream tube squeezer must be manually activated. If you rotate the button with your finger, you may injure your finger. Furthermore, such a structure of a toothpaste cream tube squeezer is not useful for people who have injured hands or who have pathological changes in their hands due to illness.

  From Patent Document 1, another configuration of a tube squeezer is known. The automatic tube squeezer includes a housing, a squeezing unit assembled in the housing, and a motor. In addition, a control metal strip useful for controlling the squeezing unit is assembled. An indicator lamp is also assembled in the through hole.

  From Patent Document 2, an apparatus for subdividing a toothpaste paste from a toothpaste paste tube is known. With this device, it is possible to easily carry the toothpaste paste onto the toothbrush implant using only one hand. This means that a clamp is provided to suspend the toothpaste paste tube by tightening the flat end, and a pair of rollers for receiving the flattened toothpaste paste tube into the roller gap It is provided in a carriage movable along the paste tube, and is achieved by the carriage being attached to a guide device and a drive device including a drive unit. In addition, a control device is provided, the control device detects a toothbrush beside the mouth piece, a sensor for connecting the drive device for forward movement, a time member for blocking the movement after a predetermined time And a switching member for connecting the driving device for the backward movement. The sensor then drives the drive when the toothbrush implant approaches the mouthpiece, so that the toothpaste paste flows out of the mouthpiece onto the toothbrush implant.

  The disadvantage of the device known from the prior art for subdividing the toothpaste paste from the toothpaste paste tube is that the toothbrush is used by the user to obtain a portion of the toothpaste on the brush implant. It must be placed more or less directly below the mouthpiece of the tube and removed, or the toothbrush can only be moved to that extent.

  The object of the present invention is therefore to automate the supply of the semi-fluid medium from the dispenser as much as possible.

  An object of the present invention is a dispenser comprising at least one drive device, in particular a gear, provided with at least one interlock on a positioning device for automatically conveying a brush from the opening in the direction of the mouthpiece of the tube. Solved by the dispenser being placed. The advantage in this case is that the brush only needs to be placed and is automatically conveyed from the opening to the mouthpiece of the tube, releasing the semi-fluid medium, so that the user does not have to worry about the correct positioning of the brush. Is known to be. This is because, in some cases, the semi-fluid medium may be positioned beside the brush head, and thus the entire dispenser device must be cleaned.

  The dispenser has a housing that includes a rear wall, a side wall pivotally attached to the rear wall, a bottom plate, and a cover plate, so that it is as smooth as possible, i.e., has almost no protrusions. Surface can be provided and thus only a small amount of dust can accumulate, or the surface structure can be easily cleaned. Further, the mechanism located within the housing is protected by the housing.

  The drive device for the transfer of the brush can comprise a plurality of gears, at least one of which can carry force transmission from other components of the dispenser in a coordinated manner, for example. , And such a force can be spent on conveying the brush.

  In order to create an interaction between the positioning device and the gear, three interlocks may be arranged on the gear at an angle of 120 ° to each other, so that the rotation of the gear causes the positioning device to move. Be made.

  In another configuration, the drive is designed to be height adjustable or electrically adjustable so that it can be easily adapted to the size or type of brush to be used each time. it can.

  Freewheel can be arranged. As a result, the subdivision mechanism / subdivision unit can be disconnected. The free wheel is required when the sub-roller moves upward when replacing the tube.

  Furthermore, the drive device comprises at least one further gear, one of these further gears being responsible for the transmission of force, in particular the transmission of the spindle force for driving the subdivision roller of the subdivision unit. It has become. Thereby, the supplied energy is optimally utilized. Furthermore, it has proved advantageous for the movements of the individual components of the dispenser, for example the positioning device and the subdivision rollers of the subdivision unit, to be coordinated and coordinated with one another.

  In another configuration, the positioning device comprises at least one brush box, guide means for moving the brush box, in particular a rail, and possibly a return element, in particular a spring, for repositioning the brush in the opening direction. This allows, on the one hand, the correct positioning of the brush with respect to the mouthpiece of the tube and also the movement of the positioning device in the direction towards the mouthpiece or from the mouthpiece The brush can be moved away, while the brush can be released again from the dispenser.

  Further, a protrusion for interacting with the interlock is arranged on the positioning device, particularly the brush box, so that the gear is moved forward by the interlock that interacts with the protrusion. The semi-fluid medium can be fed from the mouthpiece of the tube onto the brush implant of the brush.

  The brush box has a notch on the top side to allow the semi-fluid medium to push onto the brush head. Further, the upper side may be arranged at a predetermined interval from the side wall. This allows the semi-fluid medium to be applied without contact with the brush box and optionally removed from the brush box along with the brush or spatula.

  In another configuration of the invention, the brush box may have a pin on the lateral side facing the rear wall of the dispenser. Thereby, a switch can be operated for operation of a dispenser.

  Furthermore, the brush box is arranged in a guide means provided on the bottom plate, which, on the one hand, achieves a certain degree of stability by the bottom plate, so that the correct positioning of the brush box is achieved. On the other hand, it is easy to manufacture and inexpensive elements can be used, in particular by means of guides in the form of rails.

  The subdivision unit includes at least one spindle, in particular a threaded spindle, a subdivision roller, a tube holding wall, a clamp fixture and a position fixing element, thereby automatically and completely emptying the tube. The necessary stability is provided.

  In another configuration, the sub-roller is movably held on a threaded spindle, so that the sub-roller can move along the tube, the tube is pressed against the tube holding wall and thus The semi-fluid medium flows out of the mouthpiece of the tube.

  The subdividing roller can be stopped quietly and the pressure can be further reduced. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the semi-fluid medium from drooping from the tube after the subdividing roller is stationary.

  In the activated state, the dispenser tube is located between the tube holding wall and the subdivision roller, pressure is applied to the tube by the movement of the subdivision roller, and such movement is avoided by the tube holding wall. In this way, the semi-fluid medium is forced out through the mouth piece by avoiding pressure at the possible outlet points.

  Furthermore, in order to hold the tube in the end region opposite to the mouth piece, a clamp fixture is arranged on the tube holding wall, so that when force is applied by the subdivision roller The tube in the dispenser can be prevented from slipping down.

  In addition, a positioning element for the tube, and possibly an adapter for different mouthpieces of the tube, are arranged on the rear wall of the housing, so that force is applied to the tube. However, accurate positioning of the mouthpiece of the tube is guaranteed.

  In another configuration of the adapter, a ball valve is arranged so that the outflow of the semi-fluid medium from the tube can be controlled, thus contaminating the brush box or positioning device and thus the medium. Contamination of the entire dispenser due to accidental spillage can be avoided.

  At least one toothed belt wheel and possibly a toothed belt may be arranged in or on the cover plate, so that commercially available mechanical force transmission means can be used. it can.

  At least one toothed belt wheel interacts with at least one spindle of the subdivision unit and another one toothed belt wheel interacts with the motor so that the aforementioned force transmission can take place.

  Furthermore, at least one cover for the bottom plate and / or the cover plate is arranged, whereby the toothed belt wheel and the toothed belt are arranged protected in the dispenser.

  The cover plate and / or its cover may be provided with at least one opening for receiving at least one function control lamp, so that the dispenser is ready for work, for example whether it needs cleaning. Or at a glance which functions are available such as whether the tube must be refilled.

  Furthermore, an electronic control device is arranged on the rear wall, and at least one function control lamp and at least one switch are connected to the motor, whereby the entire structural unit of the dispenser is electronically driven. These structural units can be adjusted via the control unit.

  In another embodiment, the spring element is arranged along the vertical axis of the drive, which allows for different embodiments of the brush, for example an electrical or mechanical toothbrush. A dispenser can be provided.

  In a further configuration, a fork element is also arranged in the region of the drive, so that the brush or spatula is semi-finished by making a simple mechanical change in the position of the drive part. The program necessary for each brush to run the fluid medium is activated.

  The fork element is held by a holding device, in particular by a bearing, which makes it possible to move the gear to the end position and to fix it in place.

  In addition, a switch is arranged for actuating the fork element, so that the switching mode for the different brushes can be easily activated each time.

  It has proved advantageous that the dispenser can be used to supply toothpaste creams or shoe creams.

  The invention is explained in more detail below by means of an embodiment which is shown schematically and schematically in the drawing.

  As a precaution, in the embodiments described as being different, the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals or the same component parts. The disclosure contained in the entire description can be diverted to the same parts having the same reference numerals or the same component codes according to the meaning. Also, the description of the position selected in the description, for example, up, down, side, etc., relates to the drawings that are directly explained and illustrated, and when the position changes, it is diverted to a new position according to the meaning. can do. Furthermore, the individual features or combinations of features of the different embodiments shown and described can also be independent solutions of the invention or according to the invention.

  All numerical values relating to value ranges in the description should be understood to include any and all of these subranges together. For example, the numerical values 1 to 10 are such that all partial ranges starting from the lower limit value 1 and the upper limit value 10 are included together, i.e., all partial regions start with a lower limit value 1 and higher and with an upper limit value 10 or lower. It should be understood that it ends, for example 1 to 1.7, or 3.2 to 8.1, or 5.5 to 10.

  The present invention relates to a dispenser for the automatic supply of a semi-fluid medium. The semi-fluid medium may be, for example, toothpaste cream, toothpaste, shoe cream, shoe paste, pasty foodstuffs such as peanut butter and the like.

  The simplest view of a dispenser 1 according to the present invention is shown in FIG. The dispenser 1 has a housing 2 with an opening 3 that forms a cover for the internal mechanism of the dispenser 1. A brush or spatula can be pushed forward to receive the semi-fluid medium through this opening 3. Inside the housing 2, a subdivision unit 4, a driving device 5, a switch 6, and an electronic control unit 7 are arranged. Furthermore, a positioning device 8 comprising a plurality of components is shown.

  In addition to the opening 3, the housing 2 has a rear wall 9, and a left side wall 10 and a right side wall 11 that are pivotally attached to the rear wall 9. A cover plate 13 is disposed in the upper region 12, and a bottom plate 15 is disposed in the lower region 14. The bottom plate 15 fixes the position of the subdivision mechanism.

  The cover plate 13 or the bottom plate 15 may include one cover plate 16 or 17 respectively.

  FIG. 2 shows an exploded view of the upper region 12 of the dispenser 1, in particular the cover plate 13 with the cover plate 16.

  A plurality of toothed belt wheels 18 are arranged in the cover plate 13 or on the cover plate 13, and these toothed belt wheels 18 are coupled via a toothed belt 19. As shown in FIG. 2, three toothed belt wheels 18 connected via a toothed belt 19 may be arranged. However, in other embodiments, only two toothed belt wheels 18 or four or more toothed belt wheels 18 may be arranged. One of the toothed belt wheels 18 is coupled to a motor 20 that can be positioned below the cover plate 13 as shown in FIG. The motor 20 drives one of the toothed belt wheels 18. Via the toothed belt 19, energy is transmitted to another toothed belt wheel 18 and this drives, for example, another element, for example a part of the drive device 5.

  An opening 21 is disposed in the cover plate 13 or the cover 16. For example, function control lamps 22 may be disposed in these openings. Thus, for example, when the subdivision unit 4 reaches the lower end position, one function control lamp 22 can be activated. Such end positions can only be reached when the tube is empty. The components of the subdivision unit 4 then move upward again.

  When the upper end position is reached, another function control lamp 22 can be activated. In this case, it is signaled that the tube is empty and the subdivision unit 4 is ready to receive a new filled tube.

On the other hand, a further function control lamp 22 is lit during the subdivision process.
As soon as the tube is replaced, it is preferably possible to recreate the ready state by operating the subdivision mechanism once.

  Of course, one function control lamp 22 that signals the overall operation preparation completion state of the dispenser 1 may be arranged.

  Further, FIG. 2 shows a portion of the subdivision unit 4. In the case of the illustrated embodiment, the subdivision unit 4 has two spindles 23 and one subdivision roller 24. The spindle 23 is preferably formed as a threaded spindle, so that the subdivision roller 24 can be moved along the spindle 23 and thus the tubes are pressed together during the subdivision process. The subdivision roller 24 allows automatic feeding with pressure relief to prevent the semi-fluid medium from drooping from the tube.

  FIG. 3 shows in particular an exploded view of the positioning device 8. The positioning device 8 repositions at least one brush box 25, guide means 26, in particular a rail for guiding the brush box 25 and possibly a return element 27, in particular the brush box 25, in the direction of the opening 3 of the housing 2. And a spring for positioning.

  As shown in FIG. 3, a protrusion 28 is disposed in the brush box 25, and the protrusion is used to interact with the components of the drive device 5. The brush box 25 has a notch 43 on its upper side 44 through which the semi-fluid medium of the tube can reach directly onto the brush head or spatula. The notch 43 preferably has a dimension that is greater in its longitudinal extent than in its lateral extent. Furthermore, the upper side 44 of the brush box 25 can be arranged apart from the side wall 45 so that the semi-fluid medium pushed out of the tube onto the brush head or spatula does not touch the brush box 25.

  In the development of the invention, the brush box 25 can have bolts 46 or pins on its side facing the back wall 9 of the dispenser 1. The bolt 46 can activate the operation of the switch 6 by inserting a brush into the brush box 25, possibly via a spring member.

  Guide means 26 is disposed on the bottom plate 15. The brush box 25 is moved within the guide means 26.

  A fixing member 29 for the mouth piece of the tube is further arranged on the back wall 9. The fixing member 29 is used to accommodate a mouth piece of a tube having a semi-fluid medium. Different fixing members 29 for different tubes of semi-fluid medium can be arranged.

  Furthermore, adapters 30 for various mouth pieces of tubes can be arranged in the brush box 25. The adapter 30 interacts with the securing member 28 to close the tube.

  Further, FIG. 3 shows a tube holding wall 31 having a clip fixing member 32. The tube holding wall 31 is used as a pressing surface for the tube. The clip fixing member 32 is disposed on the tube holding wall and is used to hold the terminal region of the tube opposite to the mouth piece. In the driving state, the tube is disposed between the tube holding wall 31 and the subdividing roller 24 and pressed.

  FIG. 4 shows details of the driving device 5. The driving device 5 has a plurality of gears 33, and in this case, at least one interlocking member 34 is disposed on the gears 33. In the illustrated embodiment, three interlocking members 34 are arranged on the gear 33 at an angle of approximately 120 °.

  The drive device 5 has at least one other gear 35 in addition to the gear 33 having the interlock 34, and this gear is used for converting the force of the spindle 36 of the subdivision unit 4. The driving device 5 further has a free wheel 37, which is required when the subdividing roller 24 is displaced upward during tube replacement. In that case, the subdivision mechanism can be separated.

The drive device 5 can be height adjustable, in particular electrically adjustable.
In addition, FIG. 4 shows a switch 6 which is operated to activate the dispenser 1 when the brush is guided in the brush box 25 to the stopper. Thereby the subdivision process is activated.

  FIG. 5 shows a dispenser 1 according to the invention in section in the region of the opening 3. Guide means 26 is disposed on the bottom plate 15, and the brush box 25 is moved on the guide means. When the brush reaches the brush box 25 and is guided to the stopper, the switch 6 is activated and thus the entire subdivision process is activated. After the gear 33 is moved by the protrusion 28 of the brush box 25 that interacts with the interlock 34 of the gear 33 and the gear 33 rotates one third, the protrusion 28 of the brush box 25 causes the interlock 34 to move. pass. The return member 27 pulls the brush box 25 back to the initial position again.

  FIG. 5 further shows that the back wall 9 and the side walls 10, 11 can be linked via the joint link 38.

  FIG. 6 shows an alternative embodiment of the dispenser 1, in which case this alternative embodiment is an extension and can be used with various brushes, for example electrical or mechanical brushes. I am considering. In that case, the spring member 39 is arranged along the vertical axis of the gear 33 of the drive device 5. The spring member 39 is used to fix the gears 33, 35 in their respective positions according to whether they are mechanical brushes or electrical brushes, in particular toothbrushes.

  Furthermore, a fork-like member 40 is arranged, which moves the gears 33, 35 to the end position and fixes them there. In order to support the fork-like member 40, a bearing 41 is provided. Furthermore, the switch 42 can activate the activation of the subdivision process for the electric toothbrush.

The functional method of the dispenser 1 will be briefly described below.
The brush is inserted into the opening 3 in the brush box 25 up to the rear stopper. The subdivision process is then activated by the switch 6. In an alternative embodiment, the switch 6 can also be actuated by a bolt 46 arranged on the side of the brush box 25 facing the back wall 9 of the dispenser 1. The switch 6 operates the motor 20 via the control unit 7, and the motor drives the spindle 23 via the toothed belt 19 and the toothed belt disk 18. The subdividing roller 24 is moved downward by the rotation of the spindle 23. The tube located between the subdividing roller 24 and the tube holding wall 31 is compressed. Further, the rotational motion is transmitted to the gear 33 having the interlock 34 through the spindle 23 and the gear 35. A gear 33 having an interlock 34 moves the brush box 25 forward. After the gear 33 having the interlock 34 rotates by one third, the protrusion 28 of the brush box 25 passes through the interlock 34. The return mechanism 27 pulls the brush box 25 back to the initial position again.

  The functional method of the alternative embodiment is similar to the functional method described above. Of course, the fork-like member 40 may be moved to activate the subdivision process for the electric toothbrush. In that case, the gear 33 is removed from the drive coupling. At the same time, the switch 42 is connected. By the operation of the switch 42, a subdivision program corresponding to the electrical brush when the brush is inserted into the opening 3 is activated. For mechanical or electric toothbrushes, the actually adjusted subdivision type is displayed externally via a function control lamp 22, such as an LED.

  The embodiment shows a possible implementation variant of the dispenser 1, in which case it should be noted that the invention is limited to the implementation variant of the invention specifically shown. Rather, it is possible that various combinations of the individual implementation variants are possible with respect to each other, and these possibilities are based on the teachings for technical handling according to the specific invention. It is within the skill of a person skilled in the art working in the field. Accordingly, all possible implementation variants that are possible by combining the individual details of the implementation variants shown and described are also included in the scope of protection.
