Eine Abgabepumpe der gattungsgemäßen Art ist beispielsweise aus DE 42 07 800 C1 bekannt. Bei dieser ist das obere Gehäuseteil mit einer Zwischenwand versehen. In den oberhalb der Zwischenwand liegenden Hohlraum des mit der Auslaßöffnung und einer abschließenden Stirnwand versehenen Hohlkörpers des oberen Gehäuseteils ragt ein hohler Leitkörper, der dichtend auf der Zwischenwand aufliegt. Dieser Leitkörper begrenzt gemeinsam mit an der Innenseite der Stirnwand dicht anliegenden oder einstückig angeformten, seitlichen Begrenzungswänden einen mit der Auslaßöffnung versehenen Pastenstauraum, welcher über zwei Pastenleitkanäle mit einem Pastendurchlaß der Zwischenwand verbunden ist. Der Leitkörper ist mit einer der Auslaßöffnung gegenüberliegenden, federnden Membranwand versehen ist, die in ihrer Flächenmitte ein zur Achse der Auslaßöffnung koaxiales, stöpselartiges Schließorgan für die Auslaßöffnung aufweist.
Bei dieser bekannten Ausführung besteht das obere Gehäuseteil zwar nur aus drei Einzelteilen. Die sind aber zum Teil formtechnisch und montagetechnisch so kompliziert daR eine einfache, insbesondere maschinelle Montage nicht möglich ist, weil die diese Einzelteile bei der Montage in jeweils bestimmten Winkellagen zueinander ausgerichtet und zusammengefügt werden müssen. Außerdem ist diese bekannte Abgabepumpe für die gleichzeitige Abgabe zweier pastenartiger Stoffe eingerichtet, was zu einer weiteren formtechnischen Komplizierung der einzelnen Bestandteile führt. Hinzu kommt, daß der in den oberen Gehäuseteil eingesetzte Hohlkörper, an dem die Membranwand einstückig angeformt ist, eine hohe Formstabilität aufweisen und somit aus einem harten Kunststoff bestehen muß, was der federelastischen Funktionalität der Membranwand abträglich ist.
A dispensing pump of the generic type is known for example from DE 42 07 800 C1. In this case, the upper housing part is provided with an intermediate wall. A hollow guide body, which lies sealingly on the intermediate wall, projects into the hollow space of the hollow body of the upper housing part provided with the outlet opening and a closing end wall. This guide body, together with lateral boundary walls tightly fitting or integrally formed on the inside of the end wall, delimits a paste storage space provided with the outlet opening, which is connected via two paste guide channels to a paste passage of the intermediate wall. The guide body is provided with a resilient membrane wall opposite the outlet opening, which has a plug-like closing element for the outlet opening which is coaxial with the axis of the outlet opening in its center.
In this known embodiment, the upper housing part consists of only three individual parts. However, some of them are so complicated in terms of shape and assembly technology that simple, in particular mechanical, assembly is not possible because these individual parts have to be aligned and joined to one another during assembly at specific angular positions. In addition, this known dispenser pump is set up for the simultaneous dispensing of two paste-like substances, which leads to a further complication of the individual components in terms of shape. In addition, the hollow body used in the upper housing part, on which the membrane wall is molded in one piece, has a high dimensional stability and must therefore consist of a hard plastic, which is detrimental to the resilient functionality of the membrane wall.

Eine weitere Abgabepumpe ist aus dem DE-Gbm 88 00 880.0 bekannt. Dort ist eine Zwischenwand des oberen, teleskopartigen im unteren Gehäuseteil geführten Gehäuseteils mit einem nach unten gegen die Trennwand bzw. das Ansaugventil gerichteten Rohrstutzen versehen, der von einem verstärkten Ringbund des Faltenbalgs dichtend umschlossen ist. Auf seiner Oberseite ist dieser Rohrstutzen mit einer komischen Ventilsitz-Ringfläche versehen, auf welcher ein Schließorgan federnd aufsitzt, welches sich an der abschließenden Stirnwand des oberen, zweiteiligen Gehäuseteils federnd abstützt und mittels einer axialen Kreuzrippe im Rohrstutzen axial beweglich geführt ist. Auch hier besteht das obere Gehäuseteil aus zwei rastend miteinander verbundenen Hohlkörpern, von denen der eine eine zylindrische Führungswand aufweist, mit welcher er im unteren Gehäuseteil axial beweglich zwischen zwei Grenzpositionen geführt ist. Der zweite Hohlkörper des oberen Gehäuseteils, der oberhalb der Zwischenwand in einen überstehenden zylindrischen Wandungsabschnitt rastend eingesetzt ist, weist eine exzentrische, kanalartige Auslaßöffnung auf, die achsparallel verläuft und die unmittelbar mit einem Hohlraum in Verbindung steht, in dem das Schließorgan des Ausgabeventils angeordnet ist und der im übrigen über dieses Ausgabeventil mit dem Innenraum des Faltenbalgs verbunden ist, während sich das obere Gehäuseteil insgesamt relativ zum unteren Gehäuseteil in Ausübung eines Förderhubes nach unten bewegt.Another delivery pump is from DE-Gbm 88 00 880.0 known. There is an intermediate wall of the upper, telescopic one guided in the lower housing part with one down against the partition or the suction valve directed pipe socket provided by a reinforced ring collar of the bellows sealed is. On its top is this pipe socket with provided with a strange valve seat ring surface which resiliently sits on a closing element, which is on the final end wall of the upper, two-part Supported part of the housing resiliently and by means of an axial Cross rib is axially movable in the pipe socket. Here, too, the upper part of the housing consists of two detents interconnected hollow bodies, one of which has a cylindrical guide wall with which it in the lower part of the housing axially movable between two Border positions is performed. The second hollow body of the upper part of the housing, which above the partition in a projecting cylindrical wall section used in a latching manner, has an eccentric, channel-like Outlet opening, which runs axially parallel and the communicates directly with a cavity, in which the closing element of the dispensing valve is arranged and the rest of this output valve with the Interior of the bellows is connected while the upper housing part overall relative to the lower Housing part in the course of a conveying stroke downwards emotional.

Bei dieser Art von Abgabepumpen, der beispielsweise auch die Dosierpumpe der EP-A-0 194 417 entspricht und die als Pumporgan einen Faltenbalg aufweisen, sind in der Praxis selbsttätige Verschließeinrichtungen für die Auslaßöffnung des beweglichen Gehäuseteils nicht vorgesehen.In this type of dispensing pumps, for example, too the dosing pump corresponds to EP-A-0 194 417 and as Pumporgan have a bellows are in practice automatic closing devices for the outlet opening of the movable housing part is not provided.

Es sind auch bereits Pastenspender mit Pumpen bekannt (US-PS 4 438 871 und DE-OS 30 38 917), bei denen stöpselartige Schließorgane für die Ausgabeöffnung an elastischen Membranwänden angeordnet sind, die während des Arbeitshubes von dem auszugebenden Medium in Öffnungsrichtung beaufschlagt werden. Dabei handelt es sich jedoch nicht um Pumpen, die als Pumporgan einen Faltenbalg aufweisen. Vielmehr sind bei dem einen bekannten Pastenspender (US-PS 4 438 871) zwei manuell betätigbare Förderkolben vorgesehen, die im Zusammenwirken mit Ansaugventilen gleichzeitig zwei Medien aus zwei ineinander liegenden jedoch getrennten Pastenbehältern ansaugen und über separate Kanäle in einen das Schließorgan umgebenden und von der Membranwand begrenzten Stauraum befördern. Bei dem anderen Pastenspender (DE-OS 30 38 917) ist ein stabförmiges Schließelement an einer sog. Rollmembrane befestigt und in einem konischen Stauraum angeordnet, der über einen mit einem Innengewinde versehenen Rohrstutzen, der auf einen Gewindehals einer verformbaren Verschlußkappe aufgeschraubt ist, mit einem Pastenbehälter in Verbindung steht. Der Ausgabedruck wird bei dieser Pumpe durch die axiale Verformung der Verschlußkappenwandung, bzw. durch deren Abwärtsbewegung in Achsrichtung bewirkt, wobei der Behälter mit einem Nachlaufkolben versehen ist, der bei der jeweiligen Rückstellbewegung der Verschlußkappe nachläuft.Paste dispensers with pumps are also known (US-PS 4,438,871 and DE-OS 30 38 917), in which plug-like Closing elements for the dispensing opening on elastic Membrane walls are arranged, which during the Working strokes of the medium to be dispensed in the opening direction be charged. It is about but not about pumps that function as bellows exhibit. Rather, the one is known Paste dispenser (US Pat. No. 4,438,871) two manually operable Delivery pistons are provided, which interact with intake valves two media from two at the same time however, separate and separate paste containers via separate channels in a surrounding the locking member and transport storage space limited by the membrane wall. In the other paste dispenser (DE-OS 30 38 917) is a rod-shaped closing element on a so-called rolling membrane attached and arranged in a conical storage space, the via an internally threaded pipe socket, on a threaded neck of a deformable cap is screwed on in connection with a paste container stands. The output pressure is with this pump due to the axial deformation of the cap wall, or caused by their downward movement in the axial direction, the container being provided with a trailing piston, of the respective return movement of the cap runs after.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Abgabepumpe der gattungsgemäßen Art aus möglichst wenigen einfach herstellbaren und maschinell montierbaren Einzelteilen mit einer funktionssicheren Verschließeinrichtung für die Auslaßöffnung des oberen Gehäuseteils zu schaffen und zugleich einen Pastenstauraum mit möglichst geringem Inhaltsvolumen zu bilden.The invention has for its object a dispensing pump of the generic type from as few as possible easy to manufacture and machine-mountable individual parts with a reliable locking device to create for the outlet opening of the upper housing part and at the same time a paste storage space with the smallest possible Form volume of content.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß dadurch, daß der zweite aus formstabilem Kunststoff bestehende Hohlkörper an einer rechtwinklig zur Achse der Auslaßöffnung verlaufenden, eine Begrenzungsseite des Pastenstauraumes bildenden Stirnwand einen zur Auslaßöffnung hin vorspringenden und zur Achse der Auslaßöffnung konzentrischen, zylindrischen Ansatz mit einer Entlüftungsbohrung aufweist, auf den ein die Membranwand mit dem stöpselartigen Schließorgan aufweisender dritter Hohlkörper aus elastischem Kunststoff mittels eines an der Membranwand angeformten zylindrischen Wandteils aufgesetzt ist.This object is achieved in that the second hollow body made of dimensionally stable plastic at a right angle to the axis of the outlet opening trending, a boundary side of the paste storage space forming end wall projecting towards the outlet opening and concentric to the axis of the outlet opening, has cylindrical approach with a vent hole, on the one the membrane wall with the plug-like Third hollow body made of elastic and having a closing element Plastic molded onto the membrane wall cylindrical wall part is placed.

Obwohl die Erfindung in den Patentansprüchen aus Gründen der leichteren Verständlichkeit als Abgabepumpe für einen Pastenspender beschrieben ist, läßt sie sich auch zur Ausgabe von flüssigen Stoffen, auch in Verbindung mit einer Zerstäuberdüse verwenden.Although the invention in the claims for reasons easier to understand than dispensing pump for one Paste dispenser is described, it can also be used Dispensing of liquid substances, also in connection with use an atomizing nozzle.

Eine solche Abgabepumpe, die als Pumporgan einen aus einem Spritzgußteil bestehenden Faltenbalg aufweist, läßt maschinell mit relativ einfachen Montagevorrichtungen serienmäßig montieren, weil praktisch alle Teile koaxial zusammengefügt werden können.Such a delivery pump, which as a pump organ one out an existing molded bellows, can mechanically with relatively simple assembly devices Assemble as standard because practically all parts are coaxial can be put together.

Ein weiterer bedeutender Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung besteht darin, daß der Pastenstauraum so ausgebildet sein kann, daß sein Aufnahmevolumen und somit die Restmenge des in ihm verbleibenden Mediums möglichst klein gehalten werden kann, daß aber andererseits die Membranfläche, die für ein einwandfreies Öffnen und Schließen eine bestimmte Größe benötigt, optimal gestaltet werden kann.
Ein weiterer vorteilhafter Gesichtspunkt ist auch in der Möglichkeit zu sehen, sowohl die Pumpfunktion des Faltenbalgs als auch die Schließ- und Öffnungsfunktion des Schließorgans der Auslaßöffnung trocken, d.h. ohne das Medium, für dessen Ausgabe die Abgabepumpe geschaffen ist, auf einem Montageautomaten maschinell und zudem praktisch kostenlos zu prüfen.
Another important advantage of the solution according to the invention is that the paste storage space can be designed so that its receiving volume and thus the remaining amount of the medium remaining in it can be kept as small as possible, but on the other hand the membrane surface, which is necessary for a perfect opening and closing certain size required, can be optimally designed.
Another advantageous aspect can also be seen in the possibility of both the pumping function of the bellows and the closing and opening function of the closing member of the outlet opening being dry, that is to say mechanically and also practically without the medium for the dispensing of which the delivery pump is created check for free.

Die Unteransprüche 2 bis 6 betreffen vorteilhafte formtechnische Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung, die sowohl zur Erhöhung der montagetechnischen als zur Erhöhung der funktionellen Sicherheit betragen.The subclaims 2 to 6 relate to advantageous molding technology Embodiments of the invention, both for Increase in assembly as to increase the functional safety.

Der in der Zeichnung als Ausführungsbeispiel dargestellte Pastenspender hat eine zylindrische Querschnittsform. Die erfindungsgemäße Ausführung läßt sich aber ebensogut auch mit einer ovalen oder anderen Querschnittsform realisieren.
Der in Fig. 1 im Schnitt nicht ganz komplett dargestellte Pastenspender weist als Oberteil eine Abgabepumpe 1 auf und als Unterteil einen Pastenbehälter 2, der als zylindrischer Hohlkörper einstückig an einem zylindrischen unteren Gehäuseteil 3 angeformt und in bekannter Weise mit einem Nachlaufkolben 5 versehen ist. Der Innenraum 6 des Pastenbehälters 2 ist vom Innenraum 7 des unteren Gehäuseteils 3 durch eine radiale Trennwand 8 abgetrennt, an welcher ein nach oben gerichteter, runder und konzentrisch zur gemeinsamen Gehäuseachse 9 angeordneter Kragen 10 einstückig angeformt ist.
The paste dispenser shown as an exemplary embodiment in the drawing has a cylindrical cross-sectional shape. However, the embodiment according to the invention can also be implemented with an oval or other cross-sectional shape.
The paste dispenser not completely shown in section in FIG. 1 has a dispensing pump 1 as the upper part and a paste container 2 as the lower part, which is integrally formed as a cylindrical hollow body on a cylindrical lower housing part 3 and is provided in a known manner with a trailing piston 5. The interior 6 of the paste container 2 is separated from the interior 7 of the lower housing part 3 by a radial partition 8, on which an upwardly directed, round collar 10, which is concentric with the common housing axis 9, is integrally formed.

In einer zylindrischen Außenwand 11 des unteren Gehäuseteils 3 ist mittels einer ebenfalls zylindrischen Führungswand 12 ein oberes Gehäuseteil 4 teleskopartig geführt. Dieses als im wesentlichen zylindrischer Hohlkörper ausgebildete Gehäuseteil 4 ist um einen Axialhub H in der Außenwand 11 beweglich.
Als Pumporgan dient ein koaxialer Faltenbalg 13, der mit dem unteren Gehäuseteil 3 bzw. mit dessen Trennwand 8 verbunden ist. Dabei sitzt der untere zylindrische Endabschnitt 14 des Faltenbalgs 3 dichtend in einem nach oben gerichteten Ringbund 15 der Trennwand 8. Der Kragen 10 ist mit einer zentralen Durchgangsöffnung 16, deren Rand als ringförmige Ventilsitzfläche für ein tellerförmigen Ventilschließorgan 17, das mit wenigstens drei radialen Führungsrippen 18 versehen ist, die in der Durchgangsöffnung axial beweglich geführt sind. Das Ventilschließorgan 17, das durch einen oberhalb angeordneten, am Unterteil des Faltenbalgs 13 angespritzten Sicherungsring gegen Herausfallen gesichert ist, bildet im Zusammenwirken mit dem Kragen 10 das Ansaugventil 19 der Abgabepumpe 1.
In a cylindrical outer wall 11 of the lower housing part 3, an upper housing part 4 is guided telescopically by means of a likewise cylindrical guide wall 12. This housing part 4, which is designed as an essentially cylindrical hollow body, is movable about an axial stroke H in the outer wall 11.
A coaxial bellows 13, which is connected to the lower housing part 3 or to the partition 8 thereof, serves as the pumping element. The lower cylindrical end section 14 of the bellows 3 sits sealingly in an upwardly directed annular collar 15 of the partition wall 8. The collar 10 has a central through opening 16, the edge of which is an annular valve seat surface for a plate-shaped valve closing element 17, which has at least three radial guide ribs 18 is provided, which are guided axially movably in the through opening. The valve closing element 17, which is secured against falling out by a securing ring which is arranged above and is molded onto the lower part of the bellows 13, forms the suction valve 19 of the delivery pump 1 in cooperation with the collar 10.

Das obere Gehäuseteil 4 der Abgabepumpe 1 weist oberhalb der unten offenen Führungswand 12 einen radial etwas abgesetzten mittleren, ebenfalls zylindrischen Wandteil 20 auf, an den sich eine wiederum radial abgesetzter Kopfteil 21 mit einer schrägen, leicht konkaven Deckelwand 22 anschließt. In einem abgerundeten Wandabschnitt 29, der sich vom oberen Rand des mittleren Wandteils 20 zur Deckelwand 22 erstreckt, ist eine Auslaßöffnung 30 angeordnet, deren Achse 31 die Gehäuseachse 9 unter einem spitzen Winkel α von etwa 30° schneidet.The upper housing part 4 of the dispensing pump 1 points above the bottom open guide wall 12 a radial something offset middle, also cylindrical wall part 20 on which in turn a radially offset Headboard 21 with an oblique, slightly concave top wall 22 connects. In a rounded wall section 29, which extends from the upper edge of the middle wall part 20 extends to the top wall 22 is an outlet opening 30 arranged, the axis 31 of the housing axis 9 under one intersects acute angle α of approximately 30 °.

In den Hohlraum des oberen Gehäuseteils 4 ist ein zweiter Hohlkörper 23 eingesetzt der sich mit seinem unteren Rand an einer nur schwach auftragenden inneren Ringrippe 24 der Führungswand 12 axial abstützt, um somit festsitzend im Gehäuseteil 4 angeordnet zu sein.
Dieser zweite Hohlkörper 23 weist einen zylindrischen Wandabschnitt 25 auf, der dichtend vom mittleren Wandteil 20 des Gehäuseteils 4 umschlossen ist. Ein Stirnwandteil 26, der an der Innenfläche der Deckelwand 22 dichtend anliegt, ist mit einer radial verlaufenden, keilförmigen Vertiefung 27 versehen, in welche ein an der Innenseite der Deckelwand 22 angeformter Ausrichtkeil 28 formschlüssig eingreift. Diese beiden Elemente dienen als Montagehilfe.
In the cavity of the upper housing part 4, a second hollow body 23 is inserted, which is supported axially with its lower edge on an inner ring rib 24 of the guide wall 12, which is only slightly bulky, in order to be fixedly arranged in the housing part 4.
This second hollow body 23 has a cylindrical wall section 25 which is sealingly enclosed by the central wall part 20 of the housing part 4. An end wall part 26, which bears sealingly on the inner surface of the cover wall 22, is provided with a radially extending, wedge-shaped recess 27 into which an alignment wedge 28 integrally formed on the inside of the cover wall 22 engages in a form-fitting manner. These two elements serve as assembly aids.

Vom Stirnwandteil 26 zum zylindrischen Wandabschnitt des zweiten Hohlkörpers 23 erstreckt sich eine ebene Stirnwand 35, die rechtwinklig zur Achse 31 der Auslaßöffnung verläuft und die mit einem gegen die Auslaßöffnung 30 vorspringenden zylindrischen Ansatz 36 versehen. Dieser Ansatz 36 weist seinerseits eine Stirnwand 37 mit einer Be- und Entlüftungsbohrung 38 auf.
Das Stirnwandteil 26 bildet die eine Begrenzungsseite eines im übrigen vom Wandabschnitt 29 und der Deckelwand 22 begrenzten Pastenstauraumes 40, dem die Auslaßöffnung 30 zugeordnet ist. Diese Auslaßöffnung ist verschließbar bzw. in unbetätigten, entspannten Normallage des oberen Gehäuseteils verschlossen durch ein Schließorgan 41, das einen dritten Hohlkörper aus elastischem Kunststoff bildet, der eine ringförmige, in Richtung der Achse 31 federelastische Membranwand 42 mit einem rundköpfigen stöpsel- oder nippelartigen Schließteil 43 und einem zylindrischen Wandteil 44 aufweist. Die Membranwand 42, deren zylindrischer Wandteil 44 im montierten Zustand die Mantelfläche des Ansatzes 36 umschließt, ist in einem gewissen axialen Abstand von der Stirnwand 37 des zylindrischen Ansatzes 36 entfernt und vorzugsweise schwach konisch ausgebildet, damit die zum Öffnen und Schließen der Auslaßöffnung 30 durch den Schließteil 43 erforderlichen Axialbewegungen sicher ausführen kann.
Extending from the end wall part 26 to the cylindrical wall section of the second hollow body 23 is a flat end wall 35 which extends at right angles to the axis 31 of the outlet opening and which is provided with a cylindrical extension 36 projecting towards the outlet opening 30. This approach 36 in turn has an end wall 37 with a ventilation bore 38.
The end wall part 26 forms the one boundary side of a paste storage space 40, which is otherwise delimited by the wall section 29 and the cover wall 22 and to which the outlet opening 30 is assigned. This outlet opening can be closed or closed in the unactuated, relaxed normal position of the upper housing part by a closing element 41, which forms a third hollow body made of elastic plastic, which has an annular, in the direction of the axis 31, spring-elastic membrane wall 42 with a round-headed plug or nipple-like closing part 43 and has a cylindrical wall portion 44. The membrane wall 42, the cylindrical wall part 44 encloses the lateral surface of the extension 36 in the assembled state, is at a certain axial distance from the end wall 37 of the cylindrical extension 36 and is preferably weakly conical, so that the opening and closing of the outlet opening 30 through the Locking part 43 can safely perform the required axial movements.

Der möglichst kleinvolumige Pastenstauraum 40 steht mit dem Innenraum des Faltenbalgs 13 durch einen zentralen Pastenkanal 47 in Verbindung, der teilweise von einem zur Gehäuseachse 9 koaxialen Rohrstück 48 des zweiten Hohlkörpers 23 und teilweise von einer das untere Ende dieses Rohrstücks 48 dichtend aufnehmenden, zentralen Muffe 49 eines vierten Hohlkörpers 50 aus formstabilen Kunststoff gebildet wird. Dieser vierte Hohlkörpers 50 weist eine von einem oberen, im wesentlichen zylindrischen Wandabschnitt 51 des Faltenbalgs 13 umschlossene Ringwand 53 auf. Außerdem ist er mit einem in den Faltenbalg 13 hineinragenden, zylindrischen Ansatz 52 kleineren Durchmessers versehen, an dem die Ringwand 52 und eine mit der Muffe 49 versehene untere Stirnwand 54 angeformt sind. Am oberen Ende weist die Ringwand 53 einen radial nach außen vorspringenden Ringbund 55 auf.The paste storage space 40, which is as small as possible, is also present the interior of the bellows 13 by a central Paste channel 47 in connection, which partially from one to the Housing axis 9 coaxial pipe section 48 of the second hollow body 23 and partly from one the lower end of this Pipe piece 48 sealingly receiving central sleeve 49 a fourth hollow body 50 made of dimensionally stable plastic is formed. This fourth hollow body 50 has one from an upper, substantially cylindrical wall section 51 of the bellows 13 enclosed ring wall 53 on. He is also in the bellows 13th protruding, cylindrical neck 52 of smaller diameter provided on which the annular wall 52 and one with the Sleeve 49 provided lower end wall 54 are formed. At the upper end, the annular wall 53 has a radially outward projecting collar 55.

Zur wenigstens schwach klemmenden Aufnahme der mit dem Ringbund 55 versehenen und vom oberen Wandabschnitt 51 des Faltenbalgs 13 umschlossenen Ringwand 53 ist der zweite Hohlkörper 23 inwendig mit einer Vielzahl von axial verlaufenden Zentrierrippen 56 versehen. Dabei weisen wenigstens einige der Zentrierrippen 56 radiale Anschlagschultern 57 für den oberen Rand des vierten Hohlkörpers 50 auf.For at least weakly jamming recording with the Ring collar 55 provided and from the upper wall section 51st of the bellows 13 enclosed ring wall 53 is the second hollow body 23 inside with a variety of axially extending centering ribs 56 are provided. Here have at least some of the centering ribs 56 radial Stop shoulders 57 for the top of the fourth Hollow body 50.

Weil bei der beschriebenen Abgabepumpe 1 die zusammengefügten Einzelteile, d.h. die drei Hohlkörper 4, 23 und 50 aus runden, rotationssyznmetrischen Teilen bestehen, die durch axiales Ineinanderschieben zusammengefügt werden, kann deren Montage ohne Schwierigkeit maschinell durchgeführt werden, wobei zur Erleichterung dieses Vorgangs die jeweils aufeinandertreffenden Kanten konisch geformt sein können.Because in the described dispensing pump 1 the assembled Individual parts, i.e. the three hollow bodies 4, 23 and 50 consist of round, rotationally symmetrical parts which be joined together by sliding them axially, can be mechanically installed without difficulty . To facilitate this process, the each meet conical edges can.

Die Funktionsweise der beschriebenen Ausgabepumpe ist sehr einfach und deshalb auch sehr zuverlässig. Angenommen der Faltenbalg 13, der Pastenkanal 47 und der Pastenstauraum seien durch einen oder mehrere vorausgegangene Pumphübe des oberen Gehäuseteils 4 mit dem auszugebenden pastösen oder flüssigen Stoff gefüllt, so wird beim nächsten Pumphub, der durch manuelles Herunterdrücken des oberen Gehäuseteils 4 in Pfeilrichtung 59 ausgeführt wird, durch den im Pastenstauraum entstehenden Überdruck die Membranwand 42 mit ihrem Schließteil 43 nach innen bewegt und die Auslaßöffnung 30 geöffnet. Es tritt, je nachdem ob der volle Pumphub ausgeführt wird oder nicht, eine bestimmte Menge des Stoffes durch die Auslaßöffnung 30 aus. Während der Axialbewegungen der Membranwand 42 findet in deren Hohlraum durch die Be- und Entlüftungsbohrung 38 ein Druckausgleich statt mit dem Innenraum des Hohlkörpers 23, der seinerseits durch einen kleinen Luftspalt zwischen der Führungswand 12 und der Außenwand 11 mit der freien Atmosphäre in Verbindung steht.
Sobald das betätigt Gehäuseteil 4 wieder losgelassen wird, kehrt es, angetrieben von der federelastischen Rückstellkraft des Faltenbalgs 13, in seine Ausgangslage der Fig. 1 zurück. Dabei entsteht im Pastenstauraum ein Unterdruck, der das sofortige Schließen der Auslaßöffnung 30 durch das an der Membranwand 42 befestigte Schließteil 43 zur Folge hat und zum Ansaugen neuen Stoffes aus dem Pastenbehälter 2 durch das Ansaugventil 19 führt.
The operation of the described output pump is very simple and therefore very reliable. Assuming the bellows 13, the paste channel 47 and the paste storage space are filled with the pasty or liquid substance to be dispensed by one or more previous pumping strokes of the upper housing part 4, the next pumping stroke, which is carried out by manually pressing down the upper housing part 4 in the direction of arrow 59 , moved by the excess pressure arising in the paste storage space, the membrane wall 42 with its closing part 43 inwards and the outlet opening 30 opened. Depending on whether the full pumping stroke is carried out or not, a certain amount of the substance exits through the outlet opening 30. During the axial movements of the membrane wall 42, pressure equalization takes place in the cavity through the ventilation bore 38 with the interior of the hollow body 23, which in turn is connected to the free atmosphere by a small air gap between the guide wall 12 and the outer wall 11.
As soon as the actuated housing part 4 is released again, it returns to its starting position in FIG. 1, driven by the resilient restoring force of the bellows 13. This creates a negative pressure in the paste storage space, which results in the immediate closing of the outlet opening 30 by the closing part 43 fastened to the membrane wall 42 and leads to the suction of new substance from the paste container 2 through the suction valve 19.
