Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf Dosierspender für Seifenpulver zum dosierten Abstreuen oder dergleichen von Seifenpulver auf die Hand gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to dispensers for soap powder for metered sprinkling or the like of soap powder on hand according to the preamble of the claim 1.

Aus hygienischen Gründen wird oftmals anstatt Stückseife Flüssigseife aus diversen Ausführungen von Flüssigseifenspendern benützt. In gewerblichen bzw. öffentlichen Waschräumen ist die Verwendung von Flüssigseifenspendern generell üblich, da Vorschriften das Benutzen von Stückseife verbieten. Gelegentlich trifft man auch noch Vorrichtungen zum Abschaben von einem Seifenstück an, wodurch ein Berühren des Seifenstückes mit der Hand ausgeschlossen wird.
Wegen der günstigeren Eigenschaften, wie beispielsweise der Abbaubarkeit, würde man gerne Seifenpulver benutzen; es fehlt aber offensichtlich an praktischen, kostengünstig herstellbaren Dosierspendern dafür. Der Einsatz von Seifenpulver würde sich auch deshalb anbieten, weil sich in den letzten Jahren durch neue Herstellungsverfahren die Eigenschaften der Seifenpulver, insbesondere die Rieselfähigkeit, verbessert haben.For hygienic reasons, liquid soap from various versions of liquid soap dispensers is often used instead of bar soap. In commercial or public washrooms, the use of liquid soap dispensers is common, since regulations prohibit the use of bar soap. Occasionally you will also find devices for scraping off a bar of soap, which prevents the bar from being touched by hand.
Because of the more favorable properties, such as degradability, one would like to use soap powder; however, there is obviously a lack of practical, inexpensive dosing dispensers for this. The use of soap powder would also offer itself because the properties of the soap powder, in particular the free-flowing properties, have improved in recent years as a result of new production processes.

Die bisher bekannten Ausführungen nach US 2.681.169, FR 934 501, DE 17 79 727 und DE 26 46 882 sind Spender, aber keine Dosierspender-Vorrichtungen, d.h., bei Betätigung wird ein Verschluß geöffnet, und es läuft Seifenpulver aus, bis die Öffnung verschlossen wird. Dabei wird oft viel Aufwand betrieben um eine Brückenbildung des Seifenpulvers zu verhindern. Die Ausführungen sind kompliziert und teuer.
Die Ausführung nach DE 35 11 507 ist zum Dosierspenden von größeren Mengen geeignet und ist für Waschpulver für Waschmaschinen gedacht. Ein Nachteil der Ausführung ist, daß während des Anhebens des Schließkolbens von der unteren in die obere Stellung beide Öffnungen offen sind, wodurch die Dosierung ungenau und die Dosierung von kleinen Mengen unmöglich ist. The previously known designs according to US 2,681,169, FR 934 501, DE 17 79 727 and DE 26 46 882 are dispensers, but not metering dispenser devices, ie a closure is opened when actuated and soap powder runs out until the opening is closed. A lot of effort is often made to prevent the soap powder from bridging. The designs are complicated and expensive.
The version according to DE 35 11 507 is suitable for dispensing large quantities and is intended for washing powder for washing machines. A disadvantage of the design is that both openings are open during the lifting of the closing piston from the lower to the upper position, as a result of which the metering is inaccurate and the metering of small quantities is impossible.

Aus der CH 443 588 ist ein Verschlußsystem für einen ein puder- oder granulatförmiges Gut enthaltenden Spender bekannt. Das Verschlußsystem weist einen Dosierhebel auf, der eine Betätigungsfläche und eine Verschlußplatte in sich vereinigt. Auf der Platte ist ein Steg mittels einer axialen Lagerung am Dosierhebel befestigt. Unter Verwendung der gleichen Lagerung wird schließlich ein kegelförmiger Deckel mit dem Steg verbunden. Schließlich ist eine Rückstellfeder zwischen einer speziellen Halterung am Spender und dem Dosierhebel vorhanden.From CH 443 588 is a closure system for a powder or granular Well known donors known. The locking system has a metering lever, which combines an actuating surface and a closure plate. On the plate is a web is attached to the metering lever by means of an axial bearing. Using the In the same storage, a conical cover is finally connected to the web. Finally, there is a return spring between a special holder on the dispenser and the dosing lever available.

In der CH 414 966 wird ebenfalls ein Verschlußsystem für einen ein puder- oder granulatförmiges Gut enthaltenden Spender offenbart. Im Verschlußsystem ist eine mehrteilige Baueinheit aus einer Verschlußplatte, einem die Verschlußplatte sowie einen kegelförmigen Deckel verbindenden Steg sowie dem Steg selbst vorhanden. Diese Baueinheit kann durch einen von außen zu bedienenden Hebel auf- und abwärts bewegt werden, um dem Inhalt des Spenders portioniert abgeben zu können.In CH 414 966 there is also a closure system for a powder or granular one Well-contained donors disclosed. There is a multi-part in the locking system Unit from a closure plate, the closure plate and a conical Cover connecting web and the web itself. This unit can can be moved up and down by an externally operated lever in order to To be able to dispense the donor's content in portions.

Die US 2,730,271 offenbart einen Spender für Seifenpulver, der aus einem zylindrischen Gehäuse besteht, das sich nach unten konisch verjüngt, wobei mittig ein kreisrunder Ausschnitt, der sich zylindrisch ein kleines Stück fortsetzt, vorhanden ist, durch den das zu verspendende Pulver rieseln kann. Verschlossen wird der Ausschnitt durch einen Hebel, der von außen kommend durch den Ausschnitt gehend sich bis in das Gehäuse erstreckt. Der Hebel wird am Kopf des Gehäuses mittels einer spiralförmigen Feder an einem Zwischenboden fixiert, so daß der Hebel, nachdem dieser zuvor bei Betätigung nach unten gedrückt worden ist, wieder in die Ausgangslage zurückgeht und dabei den zuvor freigegeben Ausschnitt verschließt. In Bereich der zylindrisch Fortsetzung des Ausschnitts befinden sich auf dem Hebel zwei kegelförmige Körper, die aufeinander liegen, und zwar dergestalt, daß in Ruhestellung der untere den Ausschnitt verschließt und bei Betätigung des Hebels der obere den Ausschnitt.The US 2,730,271 discloses a dispenser for soap powder, which consists of a cylindrical There is a housing that tapers conically downwards, with a circular one in the middle Cutout, which continues cylindrically a little bit, is available through which the powder to be dispensed can trickle. The cutout is closed by a Lever coming from the outside through the cutout extending into the housing extends. The lever is attached to the head of the housing by means of a spiral spring fixed an intermediate floor so that the lever, after this previously when actuated has been pressed down, returns to the starting position and thereby the previously released closes closes. In the area of the cylindrical continuation of the Cutouts are on the lever two conical bodies that lie on top of each other, in such a way that in the rest position the lower closes the cutout and when operating the lever, the upper cutout.

Aus der DE 81 356 ist ein weiterer Spender für Pulver bekannt. Auch dieser Spender weist ein zylindrisches Gehäuse auf, das sich nach unten konisch verjüngt, wobei mittig ein kreisrunder Ausschnitt, der sich zylindrisch ein kleines Stück fortsetzt, vorhanden ist. Der zylindrische Teil des Ausschnitts wird durch zwei auf einem Hebel befindliche Kugeln verschlossen, in Ruhestellung der untere Teil mit der unteren Kugel, bei Betätigung des Hebels mit der oberen Kugel der obere Teil. Der Hebel ist im Deckel gelagert und geführt, wobei eine um den Heben gelegte Feder beim Drücken auf den Hebel eine Gegenkraft entwickelt, die den Hebel nach dem Lösen wieder nach oben bewegt.Another dispenser for powder is known from DE 81 356. This donor too has a cylindrical housing that tapers conically downwards, centered there is a circular cutout that continues cylindrically a little bit. The cylindrical part of the cutout is made up of two balls on a lever closed, in the rest position the lower part with the lower ball, when the Lever with the top ball the top part. The lever is stored and guided in the lid, where a spring placed around the lift creates a counterforce when pressed on the lever developed that moves the lever back up after loosening.

Die DE 445 408 zeigt einen Spender, der vergleichbar mit dem Spender aus der DE 81 356 ist. Der Hebel trägt zwei konische Ventilkörper, die die Funktion der beiden Kugeln wahrnehmen.DE 445 408 shows a dispenser that is comparable to the dispenser from DE 81 356 is. The lever carries two conical valve bodies that function as the two balls perceive.

Die US 2,607,514 zeigt einen komplizierten Verschluß für einen Spender, der sich im wesentlichen aus zwei miteinander beweglich verknüpften Hebeln zusammensetzt. Der senkrecht stehende Hebel setzt sich in das Innere des Gehäuses des Spenders fort. Das Gehäuse ist zylindrisch, verjüngt sich nach unten konisch, wobei mittig ein kreisrunder Ausschnitt, der sich zylindrisch ein kleines Stück fortsetzt, ausgebildet ist. Der erste Hebel weist zwei Erweiterungen auf, wobei die untere den Ausschnitt bei geschlossener Stellung zusetzt und die obere den Ausschnitt bei geöffneter Stellung. Weiterhin ist der Hebel durch eine Feder in der geschlossenen Stellung arretiert. Am unteren Ende des ersten Hebels ist ein zweiter nahezu in einem rechten Winkel angesetzt, der einseitig am Gehäuse gelagert ist. Durch Druck auf das nichtgelagerte Ende des zweiten Hebels bewegt sich dieses Ende des Hebels nach unten, woraus eine axiale Bewegung des ersten Hebels resultiert, die zu einer gleichzeitigen Freigabe des Ausschnitts führt.US 2,607,514 shows a complicated closure for a dispenser that is in the consists essentially of two movably linked levers. The vertical lever continues into the interior of the dispenser housing. The Housing is cylindrical, tapers conically downwards, with a circular one in the middle Cutout, which continues cylindrically a little bit, is formed. The first Lever has two extensions, the lower one with the cutout closed Position closes and the top clipping when open. Furthermore, the Lever locked in the closed position by a spring. At the bottom of the The first lever is a second almost at a right angle, which is on one side Housing is stored. By pressing on the unsupported end of the second lever this end of the lever moves down, resulting in an axial movement of the first lever results, which leads to a simultaneous release of the cutout.

Aufgabe der Erfindung war es, einen Dosierspender für Seifenpulver zur Verfügung zu stellen, der die aufgeführten Nachteile des Stands der Technik nicht aufweist und der ähnlich einfach zu handhaben ist wie die bekannten Dosierspender für Flüssigseife.The object of the invention was to provide a dispenser for soap powder ask who does not have the disadvantages of the prior art and and is just as easy to use as the known dispenser for liquid soap.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch einen Spender, wie er im Anspruch 1 dargestellt. Die Unteransprüche stellen dabei vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung dar.This task is solved by a donor as presented in claim 1. The Subclaims represent advantageous developments of the invention.

Demgemäß besteht der Dosierspender für Seifenpulver zum dosierten Abstreuen von Seifenpulver oder dergleichen auf die Hand aus einem Spenderteil, einem Behälter und einer Halterung, wobei das Spenderteil im Behälter integriert oder abtrennbar sein kann.Accordingly, there is the dosing dispenser for soap powder for dosing sprinkling Soap powder or the like on hand from a dispenser part, a container and a holder, wherein the dispenser part can be integrated or detachable in the container.

Das Spenderteil weist zumindest ein Streuloch auf, des weiteren einen Dosierhebel. Der Dosierhebel hat seinerseits eine Betätigungsfläche und zumindest einen Dosierverschlußkolben. The dispenser part has at least one scatter hole, furthermore a metering lever. The The metering lever in turn has an actuating surface and at least one metering piston.

Die Dosierverschlußkolben ragen durch die Streulöcher in das Innere des Behälters. Weiterhin sind am Dosierverschlußkolben in Richtung zum Inneren des Behälters ein Steg und darauf ein Verschlußteil angeformt, wobei das Verschlußteil an der am Steg befindlichen Seite kugel- oder kegelförmig geformt ist und das Verschlußteil in der Spenderstellung die Streulöcher von innen verschließt. Auf diese Weise ergibt sich zwischen Dosierverschlußkolben und Verschlußteil ein Hohlraum, der das Volumen des bei einer Betätigung des Dosierspenders zu spendende Seifenpulver bestimmt. Aus dem Volumen des Hohlraums resultiert dementsprechend auch die Wandhöhe der Streulöcher.The dosing plungers protrude through the diffusion holes into the interior of the container. Furthermore, are on the dosing plunger towards the inside of the container Web and a closure part formed on it, the closure part on the web located side is spherical or conical and the closure part in the dispenser position closes the scatter holes from the inside. This way, there is between Dosing plunger and closure part a cavity, which is the volume of a Operation of the dispenser determines the soap powder to be dispensed. From the volume of the cavity also results in the wall height of the scatter holes.

Schließlich weist der Dosierhebel eine angeformte Rückstellfeder auf.Finally, the metering lever has an integrally formed return spring.

Die Streulöcher sind in der Grundstellung des Dosierhebels oben offen und unten geschlossen, nach dem Betätigen des Dosierhebels in der Spenderstellung oben geschlossen und unten offen.In the basic position of the metering lever, the scatter holes are open at the top and bottom closed, after operating the dosing lever in the dispenser position above closed and open at the bottom.

Die Betätigungsfläche am Dosierhebel ist vorzugsweise so angeordnet, daß bei der Spenderbetätigung durch Daumen oder Finger einer Hand das zu dosierende Seifenpulver auf die Handfläche der gleichen Hand fällt.The actuating surface on the metering lever is preferably arranged so that the Dispenser actuation by thumb or finger of one hand the soap powder to be dosed falls on the palm of the same hand.

Die Durchmesser der Dosierverschlußkolben sind üblicherweise größer als der Durchmesser der Streulöcher, um in der Grundstellung eine Verschließen der Streulöcher sicherzustellen.
In einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist der Dosierverschlußkolben im Durchmesser kleiner als der Durchmesser der Streulöcher, wobei der Spalt zwischen Dosierverschlußkolben und Streulöcher so klein ist, daß durch Eigenreibung des Seifenpulvers dennoch kein Seifenpulver durchfällt.The diameters of the metering closure pistons are usually larger than the diameter of the scatter holes in order to ensure that the scatter holes are closed in the basic position.
In an advantageous embodiment, the dosing closure piston is smaller in diameter than the diameter of the scatter holes, the gap between dosing closure piston and scatter holes being so small that no soap powder falls through due to the friction of the soap powder.

In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform sind auf dem Verschlußteil Erhöhungen angeformt.In a further advantageous embodiment there are elevations on the closure part molded.

In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist der Dosierhebel selbst federnd am Grundkörper oder an der Halterung in einem Schwenkpunkt drehbar gelagert.In a further advantageous embodiment, the metering lever itself is resilient on Base body or rotatably mounted on the bracket in a pivot point.

Als Halterung, die vorzugsweise L-förmig ausgebildet ist, sind vorteilhafterweise am Grundkörper Standfüße angeformt. As a holder, which is preferably L-shaped, are advantageously on Base body molded on.

Schließlich können die Dosierverschlußkolben auf am Dosierhebel angeformte Stege sitzen, die schräg abfallende Flächen aufweisen.Finally, the dosing closure pistons can be attached to webs formed on the dosing lever sit, which have sloping surfaces.

Der erfindungsgemäße Dosierspender für Seifenpulver ist hervorragend geeignet, die gestellte Aufgabe zu lösen. Er ist ähnlich einfach zu handhaben wie die bekannten Dosierspender für Flüssigseife. Bei Betätigung streut er jeweils eine bestimmte, relativ kleine Menge Seifenpulver auf die betätigende Hand. Es ist dabei gleichgültig, ob der das Seifenpulver enthaltende Behälter nachfüllbar oder durch einen gefüllten Behälter auswechselbar ist.
Die Halterung kann wie bei den bekannten Dosierspendern für Flüssigseife ausgebildet werden oder so, daß der Dosierspender auf einer Fläche stehen kann.The dispenser for soap powder according to the invention is extremely suitable for solving the task. It is just as easy to use as the known dispenser for liquid soap. When actuated, he sprinkles a certain, relatively small amount of soap powder onto the actuating hand. It is immaterial whether the container containing the soap powder can be refilled or replaced by a filled container.
The holder can be designed as in the known dispensers for liquid soap or so that the dispenser can stand on one surface.

Die durch die Erfindung erreichten Vorteile sind zusammenfassend darin zu sehen, daß die Ausführung nicht nur ein Dosieren, sondern ein flächiges Streuen von Seifenpulver ermöglicht, aus wenigen einfachen Teilen besteht und wirtschaftlich herstellbar ist.The advantages achieved by the invention can be seen in summary in that the execution not only a dosing, but a scattering of soap powder enables, consists of a few simple parts and is economically producible.

In den Figuren 1 bis 8 sind Dosierspender für Seifenpulver dargestellt, welche in ihrem grundsätzlichen Aufbau aus einem Spenderteil (1) mit dem Dosierhebel (4), dem Behälter (2) und der Halterung (3) bestehen. Der Spenderteil (1) weist ein oder mehrere Streulöcher (6) auf. Der Dosierhebel (4) weist so viele Dosierverschlußkolben (11) auf, wie der Spenderteil (1) Streulöcher (6) hat.
Die in dem Streuloch befindliche Fläche der Dosierverschlußkolben (11) ist kegel- oder kugelförmig ausgebildet und verschließt in der Grundstellung des Dosierspenders die Streulöcher (6) von unten. Auf dieser Fläche steht ein Steg (15), und auf diesem Steg (15) sitzt ein Verschlußteil (8), das nach dem Betätigen des Dosierhebels (4) in der Spenderstellung die Streulöcher (6) von oben verschließt, während gleichzeitig der Dosierverschlußkolben (11) die Streulöcher (6) unten öffnet. Das in dem zwischen Dosierverschlußkolben (11) und Verschlußteil (8) gebildeten Hohlraum befindliche Seifenpulver kann somit ins Freie fallen.In the figures 1 to 8 dosing dispensers for soap powder are shown, which basically consist of a dispenser part (1) with the dosing lever (4), the container (2) and the holder (3). The dispenser part (1) has one or more scatter holes (6). The dosing lever (4) has as many dosing lock pistons (11) as the dispenser part (1) has scatter holes (6).
The surface of the metering closure piston (11) located in the scatter hole is conical or spherical and closes the scatter holes (6) from below in the basic position of the metering dispenser. On this surface there is a web (15), and on this web (15) there is a closure part (8) which, after actuating the dosing lever (4) in the dispenser position, closes the scatter holes (6) from above, while at the same time the dosing closure piston ( 11) opens the scatter holes (6) below. The soap powder located in the cavity formed between the dosing closure piston (11) and the closure part (8) can thus fall outside.

Der Dosierverschlußkolben (11) kann im Durchmesser etwas kleiner als der Durchmesser der Streulöcher (6) sein.The dosing closure piston (11) can be slightly smaller in diameter than the diameter the scatter holes (6).

Der Durchmesser des Verschlußteils (8) ist kleiner als der Durchmesser des zugehörigen Streulochs (6). Auf dem Verschlußteil (8) sind weiterhin stabförmige Erhöhungen (7) angeformt, die sich bei Spenderbetätigung im Behälter mit dem Seifenpulver bewegen und eine Brückenbildung des Seifenpulvers verhindern.The diameter of the closure part (8) is smaller than the diameter of the associated one Scattering holes (6). Rod-shaped elevations (7) are still on the closure part (8). molded, which move in the container with the soap powder when the dispenser is actuated and prevent bridging of the soap powder.

Damit das Seifenpulver frei herunterfallen kann, sind die Dosierverschlußkolben (11) vorteilhafterweise auf Stege (12) gesetzt, die oben schräg abfallende Flächen aufweisen.So that the soap powder can fall freely, the dosing plungers (11) advantageously placed on webs (12) which have sloping surfaces at the top.

Der Dosierhebel (4) wird durch eine angeformte Rückstellfeder (5) in die Grundstellung gebracht. Diese angefomte Rückstellfeder kann auch dadurch gebildet sein, daß der Dosierhebel (4) selbst federnd gestaltet ist. Schließlich wird der Dosierhebel (4) am Grundkörper (1) oder an der Halterung (3) gehalten.
Die Betätigungsfläche (10) am Dosierhebel (4) ist so angeordnet, daß sie durch Daumen gedrückt oder alternativ durch einen Finger gezogen oder gedrückt werden kann und die Handfläche der betätigenden Hand somit zwangsläufig unter den Streulöchern (6) liegt. Der Drehpunkt des schwenkbaren Dosierhebels (4) liegt dementsprechend zwischen der Betätigungsfläche (10) und dem Dosierverschlußkolben (11) oder an dem der Betätigungsfläche (10) gegenüberliegenden Ende. The dosing lever (4) is brought into the basic position by a molded-on return spring (5). This angled return spring can also be formed in that the metering lever (4) is itself designed to be resilient. Finally, the metering lever (4) is held on the base body (1) or on the holder (3).
The actuating surface (10) on the metering lever (4) is arranged in such a way that it can be pressed by the thumb or alternatively pulled or pressed by a finger and the palm of the actuating hand is thus inevitably below the scatter holes (6). The pivot point of the pivotable metering lever (4) is accordingly between the actuating surface (10) and the metering piston (11) or at the end opposite the actuating surface (10).

Bei einer bevorzugten Variante der erfindungsgemäßen Ausführung sind am Spenderteil (1) als Halterung (3) Standfüße (14) angeformt, und die Betätigungsfläche (10) des Dosierhebels (4) liegt oben.
Bei der Ausführung zum Nachfüllen wird der Behälter (2) oben mit einem Deckel (13) ausgeführt.In a preferred variant of the embodiment according to the invention, feet (14) are molded onto the dispenser part (1) as a holder (3), and the actuating surface (10) of the metering lever (4) is at the top.
In the refill version, the container (2) is designed with a lid (13) at the top.
