Description

Spender für Seife Dispenser for soap
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Spender für Seife, Schaumseife, oder dergleichen mit einer unterseitigen Austrittsöffnung. Ein derartiger Spender ist beispielsweise in der WO 96/29921 beschrieben.The invention relates to a dispenser for soap, foam soap, or the like with a lower-side outlet opening. Such a dispenser is described for example in WO 96/29921.
Die US 5,255,822 zeigt einen Seifenspender, dessen Gehäuse eine zylindrische, nach vorne offene Kammer aufweist, in die die zu waschende Hand eingeführt werden kann. Diese wird von einem Infrarotsensor erkannt und durch eine motorisch betriebene Pumpe und eine Portion Seife in die sich unter der Austrittsdüse befindliche Hand abgegeben. Die zylindrische Kammer ist aus einem transparenten lichtleitendem Material und deren Boden wird von unten beleuchtet, wodurch der Rand der Einführöffnung für die Hand als beleuchteter Ring erscheint.The US 5,255,822 shows a soap dispenser, the housing has a cylindrical, open-front chamber into which the hand to be washed can be introduced. This is detected by an infrared sensor and delivered by a motor-driven pump and a serving of soap in the hand located below the outlet nozzle. The cylindrical chamber is made of a transparent light-conducting material and the bottom is illuminated from below, whereby the edge of the insertion opening for the hand appears as a lit ring.
Die Erfindung schlägt bei einem Spender der eingangs genannten Art rund um die unterseitige Austrittsöffnung einen beleuchtbaren Ring als Positionierhilfe für die Hand bei der Seifenabgabe vor, der bevorzugt auch als Betriebszustandanzeige bzw. als Anzeige für fällige Servicemaßnahmen einsetzbar ist. Für diese bevorzugte Anwendung kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Ring in zumindest zwei unterschiedlichen Farben beleuchtbar ist.The invention proposes a donor of the type mentioned around the underside outlet opening an illuminated ring as a positioning aid for the hand in the soap dispensing, which is preferably also used as an operating state display or as an indication of due service measures. For this preferred application it can be provided that the ring can be illuminated in at least two different colors.
Nachstehend wird nun die Erfindung an Hand der Figur der beiliegenden Zeichnung näher beschrieben, ohne darauf beschränkt zu sein. Diese zeigt eine Ansicht eines Spenders schräg von unten. Der Spender weist ein meist längliches Gehäuse 1 für eine hängende Montage nahe einem Waschtisch oder dergleichen auf, an dessen Unterseite nahe dem vorderen Rand eine Austrittsöffnung 2 vorgesehen ist, durch die eine Portion Seife, Seifenschaum oder dergleichen abgegeben werden kann. Die Bedienung kann in beliebiger Weise erfolgen, es ist für die Erfindung unwesentlich, ob sie berührungslos durch Annäherung der Hand an einen Sensor oder durch Betätigung eines Hebels, Druckknopfs oder dergleichen erfolgt. Die Austrittsöffnung 2 ist von einem beleuchtbaren Ring 3 umgeben, der die Positionierung der Hand erleichtert, da sie aus der üblichen Position und Haltung eines Benutzers nicht direkt gesehen werden kann. Der Ring 3 ist daher insbesondere am Rand der Gehäuseunterseite angeordnet, sodass die Beleuchtung auch von schräg oben erkennbar ist. Der Ring kann in zumindest zwei unterschiedlichen Farben beleuchtbar sein und damit eine Betriebszustandanzeige (beispielsweise grün) oder eine Anzeige für Servicemaßnahmen (beispielsweise rot) wie zum Beispiel das Erfordernis einer Nachfüllung, bzw. eines Batterientausches bilden. Hereinafter, the invention will be described in more detail with reference to the figure of the accompanying drawings, without being limited thereto. This shows a view of a donor obliquely from below. The dispenser has a generally elongated housing 1 for hanging mounting near a vanity or the like, on the underside of which near the front edge an outlet opening 2 is provided, through which a portion of soap, soap foam or the like can be dispensed. The operation can be done in any way, it is immaterial to the invention, whether it is done without contact by approaching the hand to a sensor or by operating a lever, push button or the like. The outlet opening 2 is surrounded by an illuminable ring 3, which facilitates the positioning of the hand, since it can not be seen directly from the usual position and posture of a user. The ring 3 is therefore arranged in particular on the edge of the housing bottom, so that the illumination is also visible from diagonally above. The ring can be illuminated in at least two different colors and thus form an operating status indicator (for example green) or a display for service measures (for example red) such as, for example, the need for a refill or a battery replacement.
