Description

Dispenser for flowable media

The invention relates to a container for receiving and dispensing flowable media.

In particular, during soldering in connection with installation or Plenglereiarbeiten the solder joint before and during the soldering process must always be treated with special means to eliminate dirt or oxide layers and thus to ensure a clean and firm solder joint. In this case, different soldering water are usually used for various materials to be soldered, such as copper, galvanized steel sheet or stainless steel. In addition to the actual soldering water, which may consist of various acids or dissolved salts, also soldering grease and solder pastes are used. Whenever soldering water is mentioned below, this term includes all substances suitable for the pretreatment of solder joints.

So far, soldering water is mainly stored in bottle-like containers with screw cap and applied usually with the help of brushes on the pretreated body. This has the disadvantage that you need both hands to apply the soldering water, since you first have to screw on the container, then dip the brush, treat the solder joint and finally close the container again. For these activities you need two hands. This is very annoying under normal circumstances, as you have to put the blowtorch aside and thereby lose time. Under unfavorable working conditions, such as on a crooked roof, where z. B. Spengler often need to solder, even more serious disadvantages are added, such. For example, the aspect of poor security when forced to use both hands at the same time. In addition, by the known method almost inevitably splash, when the brush is dipped in the soldering water tank and pulled out again. The splashes leave annoying stains and can lead to serious injuries if they reach the eye of the user or other persons. In addition, there is a risk, especially on sloping roofs, that the soldering water tank tips over and its acidic content damages the roof. To prevent this at least partially, the container must be screwed after each use again, but this costs valuable working time.

In almost all areas of the economy, such as in the painting trade, hairdressing, medicine, cosmetics, etc., are flowable media such as cosmetics, personal care products, paints, paints, acids, alkalis, solvents, roasting solvents, adhesives, pastes, detergents, disinfectants or drugs on

Surfaces, devices, three-dimensional bodies, the human body or applied to animals. So far, these media are mainly stored in bottle-like containers with screw cap and applied usually with the help of brushes on the site to be treated. This has the disadvantage that you need both hands to apply the medium, since you first have to unscrew the container to then immerse the brush, to treat the appropriate place or area and finally to close the container again. This is not only very time consuming, but there is also often a risk of injury, since it is partly corrosive liquids. Furthermore, there is the danger that clothing pieces, for example, with colors, adhesives, paints, cosmetics, etc. are polluted. In addition, the correct dosage of the amount of media to be applied with the known application techniques is almost impossible. This can especially in the medical field or in the cosmetics sector be disadvantageous, especially since the media are sometimes very expensive.

The invention is based on the object of specifying a container that is simple, quick and safe to handle.

According to the invention this object is achieved in that the container is provided in the region of an outlet opening with a brush designed as a means of application for applying the flowable medium.

The inventive compound of, for example, a soldering water container and application agent creates a compact Lötwasserspender that is one-handed operation and thus allows easy and safe handling. Correspondingly, a color dispenser, a cosmetic dispenser, shaving gel dispenser, etc. is also produced. The application agent, which is designed as a brush, is particularly suitable for passing the flowable medium.

In the simplest conceivable embodiment, the flowable medium, in particular the soldering liquid, the paint, etc. passes through the container by simply tilting the container. In this case, the application means is preferably attached to the container such that it at least largely covers the outlet opening and thus prevents undesired escape of the flowable medium, in particular of the soldering water, from the container.

It is particularly advantageous if the outlet opening is a small, preferably centric, opening in the container below the application means. This variant is especially suitable for viscous media. Advantageously, the container is additionally equipped with a metering device which facilitates the metering of a desired amount of the flowable medium, in particular the soldering water.

In a preferred embodiment, the metering device consists of an overpressure valve, which is preferably in operative connection with the application agent. The user can thus easily press the application means against the site to be treated, in particular the solder joint, wherein the pressure relief valve is opened via the operative connection. In this case, the flowable medium, in particular soldering water emerges, which passes either directly or indirectly via the application means on the solder joint.

Of course, instead of the operative connection between the application means and the overpressure valve, the overpressure valve can be actuated manually by the user. For this purpose, either an operating lever or a button can be provided. But it is also possible to design the container elastic, so that it is deformable under the pressure of the user's hand while opening the pressure valve.

In an alternative embodiment, the metering device can also consist of a pump, through which the flowable medium, in particular the soldering water, is pumped onto the application agent or directly onto the site to be treated, in particular the solder joint. The direct application to the site to be treated, in particular the soldering, is preferably carried out by spraying or spraying, wherein the pump is in communication with a suitable spray or spray nozzle. The operation of the pump can be done as well as the above-mentioned overpressure valve either by a special key, a lever or by operative connection with the order ungsmittel. In the simplest and most ingenious embodiment, the pump is formed by the elastic container, wherein the outlet opening in the region of the application means is preferably designed as a spray nozzle. To apply the flowable medium, in particular the soldering water to the site to be treated, in particular the soldering the user just needs to press the elastic container, so that the flowable medium, in particular soldering water, through the nozzle to the site to be treated, in particular the solder joint is injected.

To prevent dripping of the liquid is advantageously provided at the outlet opening a sealing lip. By lateral pressure on the elastic container creates an internal pressure in the container, so that the sealing lip opens and flowable medium can escape.

It is also advantageously possible to cause dripping, in particular of low-viscosity, flowable media, such as e.g. Soldering water without the use of a sealing lip to prevent. This is advantageously achieved in that the brush is mounted within a recess in the container, preferably by means of a clamp at the bottom of the recess. In this case, the brush consists for example of a hair tufts, which is shot in its center with a clip in the depression. The tuft of hair is folded through the peripheral walls of the depression practically in the middle. The coating side of the brush is thus formed in the installed state of the two tuft ends, which protrude at the strike side on the recess open to the outside and serve for applying the flowable medium. The recess is preferably cylindrical and has an inner

Lateral surface and a lower bottom. However, it is also possible that the recess has other basic shapes. There is an operative connection between the container and the recess with a brush in such a way that the outlet opening of the container in a recess wall is introduced, preferably in the well bottom. It is of fundamental importance that the brush hairs completely fill the effective cross-sectional area of the depression. This is the only way to prevent dripping. By effective cross-sectional area is meant the location in the smallest diameter well. The flowable medium thus passes from the interior of the container by lateral pressure on the container through the outlet opening into the recess and there directly to the brush hairs and is then passed into the brush tip. If the pressure on the container is released, creates a negative pressure within the container, the other

Fluid leakage largely prevented and sometimes even sucks liquid from the brush back into the container. However, a further liquid leakage (dripping) is completely prevented only by the measure that the brush hairs completely fill the effective cross section of the depression. So you have an extra one

Sealing function. If the brush did not fill the effective cross-sectional area, liquid could dribble through the exit opening.

Advantageously, the hair of the brush brush are so pressed into the depression that they are aligned in parallel.

Advantageously, it is provided that the recess is integrated in a removable from the container essay. Through the opening in the container, which arises when the attachment is removed, the container can be filled and refilled.

In a preferred embodiment, the container is designed as a preferably pin-shaped cartridge made of an acid-resistant material, preferably plastic or coated metal. For example, a pen-shaped cartridge made of plastic is particularly good for the Realization of the metering device as a pump as described above.

In order to avoid the confusion of various dispensers with flowable media, in particular various Lötwasserspender, with different content is proposed that the container is provided with an inscription that denotes the content.

In general, an embodiment will be preferable, in which the container is designed as a disposable container for single use. This is especially true for simply designed containers that themselves do not represent a high material value. In the once-to-use container thus accidental refilling with the wrong medium, especially with soldering water can be avoided. Also, the risk to the user when refilling by any occurring splashes can thus be excluded. Therefore, the embodiment is recommended as a disposable container also under safety aspects.

However, if a refillable embodiment is desired, for example because the container itself represents a significant value, or because the user always uses only one and the same medium, in particular soldering water, an embodiment is recommended in which the container with a closable opening for refilling the container is provided.

In an embodiment of the invention it is provided that the container comprises a fastening means for attachment to the clothing of the user. This is particularly advantageous in roof plumbing work, as the container attached to the user's clothing is secured against falling when not in use and is always at hand when needed. In a simple embodiment, the fastening means consists of a clip for attachment to a bag, a belt or the like. This allows a quick and easy attachment. The clip can also be configured in a simple manner on the container. But it is also possible to provide instead of the clip or in addition to this other fastening means, such as a Velcro, a magnet or a loop for attachment to a button of the user's clothing.

In a further embodiment of the invention, it is recommended that the container is provided with a holder for a pole. The attached to the container plumb rod is thus immediately after the pre-treatment of the solder joint with soldering water at hand to perform the actual soldering. Preferably, the plumb bar is mounted so that it does not even need to be removed for the soldering process. This has the advantage that the user does not even have to put the container with plumb bar after the application of the soldering water from the hand to complete the soldering process. In the simplest case, the plumb rod projects beyond the applicator end of the container in the axial direction, so that after application of the soldering water, the entire arrangement of container and plumb bar after application of the soldering water must be rotated only by 180 ° to the end of the plumb rod to bring to the solder joint.

In a preferred embodiment, the holder is a clip made of metal or plastic. Such a clip can be easily clipped or attached to the container. This is particularly advantageous when it comes to a disposable disposable container, since then the clip is used again and again. By the measure that the fastening means is a clip or hook, which is attached to the holder for the plumb bar, one obtains a single component to be connected to the container, which combines the functions of the Lotstangenhalters and the fastening means in itself.

In order to avoid, in particular during transport of the container, an unintentional escape of medium, in particular of soldering water or the wetting of sensitive objects or clothes of persons involved, it is provided in an embodiment of the invention that the container has a lid, which the outlet opening for the flowable medium, especially soldering water and / or the coating agent covered.

Particularly advantageous for the user, who often has to deal with various means for the pretreatment of solder joints or other sites to be treated, is an assortment consisting of several of the containers described above, each with different soldering waters, acids, solder pastes, solder grease, cosmetics, Personal care products, paints, paints, acids, alkalis, solvents, Roöstlösemitteln, adhesives, glues, detergents, disinfectants or drugs filled or at least designed and suitable. With the product range, the user always has the required and suitable pre-treatment agent at hand.

In an embodiment of the range is provided that containers are provided with different content in each case with different color codes or labels. In this way, confusion is avoided and the selection of the right container with the appropriate content is facilitated.

The assortment can be improved by adding a box, a suitcase or a pocket with pockets for inserting the Containers. In this way, all containers can be easily transported together and stored in an orderly condition.

It is of particular advantage that the application means is releasably secured to the container. As a result, the application agent can be replaced if it is worn, for example.

In order to avoid drying out of the application means, it is advantageously provided that the application means is reversible, in particular can be turned by 180 °, and in particular has two fastening elements for attachment to the container in at least two different positions. If the container is not needed, the applicator can be attached to the container so that the applicator is directed into the container interior. If flowable medium is to be applied to a location, the application agent is dissolved, for example rotated 180 °, and then again attached to the container so that the flowable medium can be applied by means of the application agent to the site to be treated. After completion of the application ungsvorgangs the application agent is released again from the container and vice versa sunk in the container. Dehydration of the application agent is avoided with advantage.

For example, threads are used as fasteners, with threads being provided on each side of the applicator means to allow the applicator means to be connected to the container in two opposite positions. It is also possible to provide plug-in attachments or clamping attachments as fastening elements.

An embodiment of the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawings. The embodiment represents a soldering water dispenser. This embodiment is not intended to be limiting. The illustrated dispenser is suitable for everyone flowable media. So if in the following of soldering water is mentioned, so are all flowable media recorded. In the drawings show:

FIG. 2 shows a lid for the soldering water container according to FIG. 1;

FIG. 3 shows a soldering water container according to the invention in a second embodiment with a sponge and fastening clip with a rod holder;

Figure 4: a reversible application means

Figure 5: attachment with brush.

The soldering water container 1 shown in Figure 1 consists of a metal cartridge 2, which is provided with a metering device 3 and a brush 4 made of horsehair. A neck 5 of the metal cartridge 2, together with a conical sealing element 6, a pressure relief valve 5, 6, which is held by resilient means 7 in the closed state. The sealing element 6 merges integrally into a brush holder 8. The interior of the metal cartridge 2 is filled with soldering water 9.

In the unused state, the conical sealing element 6 is pressed by the springs 7 in the illustration of Figure 1 to the right, wherein it is pressed against the conical inner surfaces of the neck 5 of the metal cartridge 2 and thus the outlet opening 10 closes, so that no soldering water 9 exit can.

In order to cover the components of the soldering water container arranged outside the opening 10, in particular an optionally still wet brush 4 for a long period of non-use, the component shown in FIG illustrated cover 11 is provided, which is to be pushed in the illustration of Figure 1 from the right on the brush 4.

For use, the lid 11 is removed and the brush 4 is simply pressed by the user against the solder joint to be treated. This results in a shift of the brush holder 8 and thus of the seal member 6 in the direction of the applied force against the spring force of the resilient means 7, wherein between the seal member 6 and the inner surfaces of the neck 5 of the metal cartridge 2, an annular gap is formed through which the soldering water 9 can escape. In the normal position of use, the brush 4 is below the metal cartridge 2, so that the exiting soldering water 9 flows along the sealing element 6 and the brush holder 8 to finally saturate the brush 4. From the brush 4, the soldering water 9 can reach the pretreated solder joint.

After completion of the application process, no force is exerted on the brush, so that the resilient means 7 in conjunction with the sealing element 6, the outlet opening 10 automatically close again, so that no further soldering water 9 can escape. The soldering water container 1 can therefore be simply put away or hung away without additional manipulations by the user. At the next use, a handle to the soldering water container according to the invention is sufficient to continue the application.

In the present embodiment, although a metal cartridge 2 is provided, which preferably has a diameter of 3 to 4 cm and a length of 10 to 25 cm. invention

However, solder bath dispensers may also be made of any other suitable material, preferably plastic, and have shapes other than those of a cartridge. For example, the overpressure valve can also be designed in the form of a tongue which is lifted off its sealing seat by lateral pressure on the brush or sponge and thereby releases the soldering water flow.

Furthermore, the metering device does not necessarily have to consist of an overpressure valve, but instead can for example also be designed as a pump. In particular, the embodiment shown in Figure 1 could be modified such that in the region of the oblique shoulder 12 of a plastic cartridge designed as a tiny nozzle outlet opening is arranged, can be sprayed by the soldering water 9 on the solder joint to be pretreated. The spraying can be effected, for example, by the user grasping and squeezing the cartridge with his hand so that a high pressure arises inside which drives the soldering water 9 outwardly through the said nozzle. In this case, the brush 4 shown in Figure 1 could even be rigidly connected to the plastic cartridge, because yes, the pressure relief valve can be omitted and thus a mechanically movable operative connection with a sealing element 6 would not be required.

In a further embodiment, for example, a plastic cartridge at the end remote from the outlet opening may have a recess which is configured like a bore and serves for receiving and fixing the plumb rod. Or the plastic cartridge is provided over the entire length or at least part of its length with a lateral groove-shaped recess into which the plumb rod is inserted to connect them to the cartridge.

In the second embodiment shown in Figure 3, a sponge 13 is provided instead of a brush. The sealing element 6 is here in one piece in an anchor 14, which serves as a sponge holder. The Sponge 13 is attached to the sponge holder 14 and positively connected thereto. In this case, an annular portion 7 of the sponge 13 comes to lie between the armature 14 and the outermost end of the neck 5 of the metal cartridge 2. This annular portion 7 fulfills, together with the other elastically deformable sponge areas, the function of the resilient means, which presses the sealing element 6 to the right against the conical inner surface of the neck 5 of the metal cartridge 2 in order to close the outlet opening 10.

When using the soldering water dispenser shown in Figure 3, the sponge 13 is pressed against the solder joint to be treated, the armature 14 together with the seal member 6 in the axial direction inwardly (in Figure 3 to the left) pressed while an annular gap is formed through the soldering water 9 emerge and can wet the sponge 13. About the wetted sponge 13, the soldering water 9 reaches the pretreated solder joint. After completion of the application, no mechanical pressure is exerted on the sponge 13, so that it relaxes again due to its elasticity while the armature 14 together with the sealing element axially outwardly (in Figure 3 to the right) and thereby pushes the opening 10 again tightly closes, so that no further soldering water 9 can escape.

Furthermore, one can see in FIG. 3 a clip 15, which is fastened on the outside of the metal cartridge 2 by means of a clamping ring 16. The clip 15 in turn serves to attach the soldering water dispenser 1 to the clothing of the user or on a special craftsman belt to always have the soldering water dispenser at hand and to exclude falling or rolling from the outset. The clipping on the clothes or a craftsman belt happens in a known manner similar to a ballpoint pen. On the opposite side of the clip 15, the clamping ring 16 is additionally provided with a Lotstangenhalter 17, in which a plumb rod 18 is inserted. In this way, the pole bar 18 is fixedly connected to the metal container 12. After the pre-treatment of the solder joint by means of the sponge 13, the user can simply rotate the metal container 2 by 180 ° in order subsequently to apply the solder to the solder joint. Instead of the illustrated sponge 13 is better a brush as a means of application.

In the illustrated embodiment, clip 15, clamping ring 16 and pole holder 17 are integrally stamped and bent from sheet metal, wherein the pole holder is either U-shaped or forms a nearly closed ring, in which the pole bar 18 is clamped elastic. Also, the clamping ring 16 is preferably not completely closed to allow an elastic clamping of the metal cartridge 2. In an alternative embodiment, the

Combination component of clip 15, clamping ring 16 and the pole holder 17 are of course also made of plastic.

At the left end, the metal cartridge 2 is provided with a refill opening 19, which is closable by means of a closure element 20. The refill port 19 serves to refill the soldering water 9 when the content of the metal cartridge 2 is consumed.

Furthermore, the metal container 2 is provided with a label not shown and a color coding, the type of contained soldering water, solder paste or soldering grease, cosmetics, personal care products, paints, dyes, acids, alkalis, solvents, roasting solvents, adhesives, glues, detergents, disinfectants or pharmaceuticals. This is particularly advantageous if the user has an assortment with several Soldering water dispensers used according to the invention, wherein the individual soldering water dispenser each contain different pretreatment agents.

When using a range, the simultaneous use of a box, suitcase or a pocket with pockets for the container is recommended, in order to be able to transport them together with a handle and to be able to find the required container quickly. It is particularly advantageous if the label or the color coding is mounted in the end region of the container, which looks out of the respective pocket.

The application means 4 shown in FIG. 4 is designed to be reversible. This means that it can be connected to a container in two opposite positions, namely in an application position and a storage position. In Figure 4, 21 are provided as fastening elements for attachment to the container thread. In this example, it is internal thread, which can be screwed onto appropriate external threads, not shown, on the container. In order that flowable medium in the unscrewed state can not drip from the application means 4 to a substrate, a closure plug 22 is provided in order to close off the outlet opening 10. Furthermore, the closure plug can prevent the escape of medium when the storage means is screwed in the storage position on the container.

In Figure 5, a cap 23 is provided for a container 1 in which the pump is formed by the elastic container 1 itself. The attachment 23 is jammed in an opening 25 in the container and can be removed for filling or refilling of the container 1. Of course, the illustrated liquid outlet device does not have to be designed in the form of an attachment 23, but can directly into the container 1 to get integrated. The brush 4 is mounted within a recess 24 in the container 1. The recess 24 is cylindrical and has a circular cross-section. The recess 24 has an inner circumferential surface 26, and a bottom 27 and an outer opening 28. The effective cross-sectional area 29, is located in this

Embodiment in the lower region of the recess 24 and is the cross-sectional area with the smallest dimensions. Thus, as shown, when the recess 24 has two different cross-sectional areas (one upper and one lower cross-sectional area), only the cross-sectional area with the smaller dimensions must be filled with hair.

The brush 4 is fixed by means of a clip, not shown, at the bottom 27 of the recess 24. The flank side 30 of the brush 4 projects outwardly beyond the outer opening 28 and serves to apply the flowable medium. Between container 1 and recess 24 with brush 4 there is an operative connection in the manner that the outlet opening 10 of the container 1 is inserted in a recess wall. In this embodiment, it is located in the recess bottom 27. It is of fundamental importance that the brush hairs 4 completely fill the effective cross-sectional area 29 of the recess 24. This is the only way to prevent dripping. The fluid medium passes from the interior of the container 1 by lateral pressing on the container 1 through the outlet opening 10 in the recess 24 and there directly to the brush hair 4 and is then passed into the brush tip. If the pressure on the container 1 is reduced, creates a negative pressure within the container 1, which largely prevents further leakage of liquid and sometimes even sucks liquid from the brush 4 back into the container 1. However, a further liquid leakage (dripping) is completely prevented only by the measure that the brush hairs 4 the effective cross-sectional area 29th completely fill the recess 24. The brush thus has an additional sealing function. This sealing function is substantially improved when the outlet opening 10 is in direct contact with the brush hairs 4. The hair of the brush 4 are so firmly pressed into the recess 24 that they are aligned in parallel.
