Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dispensing device for connection to a container and a corresponding container as well as a system comprising a dispensing device and a container according to the preamble of the independent claims.
  • a high-quality and stable container in which, for example, a liquid, such as hand soap, can be held.
  • a liquid such as hand soap
  • Such containers are typically provided with a device for dispensing the liquid, such as a pump dispenser or a spray dispenser.
  • the device for dispensing the liquid is removed from the container and a product equivalent to the original product is refilled into the container from a refill pack.
  • the refill packs are often bags made of thin film, which use significantly less material than reusable containers.
  • the dispensing device is typically provided with a riser pipe so that the product can be removed from the reusable container. Residues of the liquid that was previously in the reusable container typically always adhere to this riser pipe. Accordingly, there is also a risk that the user will get dirty. To change products, the entire dispensing device and the reusable container must be cleaned which may require considerable effort.
  • a dispensing device and preferably a container and/or a system thereof should be provided which makes it possible to reduce the amount of material used and in particular makes it possible to reduce contamination during the refilling process and in particular to simplify the refilling process.
  • An axially movable connecting element for connecting the container to the dispensing device is arranged in the base body.
  • the connecting element can be brought into operative connection or into operative connection with the container.
  • the connecting element is axially movable in relation to the dispensing device and thus also in relation to the base body and is in particular designed as a separate and independent element.
  • the connecting element can have a flange for snap connection to the container.
  • a connection can be established between the connecting element and the container, or the container be arranged in a corresponding position on the connecting element.
  • the snap connection reliably prevents these two elements from being accidentally released.
  • the snap connection is implemented by snapping in axially; alternatively, it can also be implemented by pushing it in sideways.
  • lateral insertion means insertion transversely to the longitudinal axis of the container.
  • the longitudinal axis of the container is defined by a connection between a base and a dispensing opening of the container. The longitudinal axis also defines the axial direction.
  • the flange has an inwardly directed projection.
  • this enables lateral insertion
  • the container can be supported on this projection by means of an inwardly directed projection with a corresponding outwardly projecting element. An axial force acting on the container can accordingly be absorbed by the inwardly directed projection.
  • an axially extending stop can be arranged on the connecting element to prevent rotation.
  • An axially extending stop reliably prevents rotation of the connecting element, but at the same time allows the connecting element to be axially displaced.
  • a thread can be arranged on the connecting element for axial displacement or movement of the connecting element.
  • a thread allows the conversion of a rotary movement into a linear movement. Accordingly, the connecting element can be moved axially by turning a corresponding counterpart, which is in operative connection with the thread.
  • a counter thread is arranged on the base body for engagement with the thread of the connecting element. is .
  • the connecting element can be moved axially by twisting the base body . Twisting of the connecting element is prevented by the axially extending stop .
  • the base body is therefore preferably rotatably arranged on a receiving container.
  • the receiving container can be designed to be attractive to the user.
  • the receiving container can provide a vessel or a holding device that can hold the container, which is manufactured with little material expenditure, in particular as a refill container.
  • the receiving container can be designed for multiple use and have a corresponding stability. The container described here therefore no longer has to meet high requirements in terms of strength, since any forces that occur can be absorbed by the receiving container.
  • the axially extending stop is in operative connection with the receptacle. Accordingly, the axially movable connecting element can be held firmly in place on the receptacle with respect to rotation, so that it only moves or can be moved axially in relation to the receptacle.
  • the axially extending stop can be designed as a cam which is intended to engage in a groove on the receptacle. Accordingly, a corresponding groove can be arranged on a receptacle.
  • an axially extending stop By designing it as a cam and a groove, an axially extending stop can be implemented relatively easily. Such a combination also has a high degree of accuracy of fit. Forces can be transferred evenly.
  • An axially extending flange can be arranged on the dosing dispenser for engagement with a corresponding receiving element on the container.
  • the flange is formed in particular as part of a sliding connection.
  • An axially extending flange is easy to manufacture and has a high precision fit. In addition, it can be manufactured in such a way that it tapers towards an open end, so that a tight connection can be created with a corresponding counterpart. By designing it as a sliding connection, the flange can be easily and safely connected to a corresponding counterpart.
  • the flange can be designed as a tubular socket. Such a design makes it unnecessary to provide means to be able to position the corresponding elements in the circumferential direction before the connection is created.
  • Another aspect relates to a container for connection to a dispensing device, in particular to a dispensing device as described herein.
  • the container has a container closure. This makes it possible to close the container reliably and safely or to keep its contents under lock and key.
  • a receiving element can be arranged on the container closure to receive an axially extending flange, in particular a flange of the dispensing device as described herein. Accordingly, the dispensing device and the container can be easily connected to one another, so that a fluid-tight connection is established between the container and the dispensing device.
  • the receiving element can be designed as part of a sliding connection.
  • a connection by sliding is easy to make and does not require any special instructions for the user.
  • Such connections are also reliable and can ensure a high level of tightness.
  • the container can be designed as a flexible bag.
  • Flexible bags can be made from very thin materials and thus reduce the environmental impact by reducing material costs.
  • a flexible bag allows the contents to be dispensed essentially completely.
  • the container is designed as a dimensionally stable container.
  • the dimensional stability makes it possible for the container to interact with a corresponding receiving container, for example.
  • a dimensionally stable container makes it easier for a user to manipulate the container.
  • a riser pipe can be arranged on the container closure in the dimensionally stable container. This ends in particular in the area of a bottom of the dimensionally stable container. This means that the contents of the container can be dispensed almost completely.
  • the container closure is permanently connected to the container with a press connection.
