Definitions
- the present invention relates to a dispenser for pasty products with an essentially cylindrical container containing the pasty product, which has on the bottom side a follower piston which is slidable on the inside wall of the container under the pressure of the outside atmosphere and carries at its upper end a head piece which is slidable to the container, which has an output channel for the product which can be communicatively connected to the container and which acts on a manually operable conveying device with a volume-variable conveying chamber for the product.
- Such generic dispensers are known as outpatient reservoirs in a variety of application examples, e.g. for personal care, in medicine for the application of medication or also in the provision of pasty food in the trade.
- the design of the dispensers used for the provision of the very different pasty masses is correspondingly varied, above all with regard to their direct conveying and handling mechanism.
- a generic dispenser is known for example from EP-A-0 230 252.
- the manually operable delivery device has a delivery piston, by means of which the volume of the delivery chamber can be changed.
- the delivery plunger is locked in place with a piece of pipe which is formed in one piece on the head part.
- the head piece is shifted from an initial position by hand in the axial direction towards the container. This displacement movement leads directly to a sliding movement of the delivery piston along the inner wall of the delivery chamber while reducing the volume thereof.
- the internal pressure built up in the delivery chamber initially leads to the opening of an elliptical check valve which covers an outlet opening of the delivery piston and through which the paste-like product then, with a further reduction in the volume of the delivery chamber, in the direction of the delivery channel for removal at a product delivery opening is formed on the head part is promoted.
- an internal pressure that overcomes the closing forces of the check valve must first be built up in the delivery chamber.
- the conveying of the pasty mass through the check valve also leads to a pressure loss, which is disadvantageous in that increased pressure forces have to be used to compensate for this pressure loss in order to axially shift the head part in the direction of the container.
- the present invention is based on the problem of improving a dispenser of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that actuation with lower actuation forces is possible and, moreover, impairment of the pasty product to be dispensed by oxidation is reduced.
- the present invention improves the dispenser mentioned at the outset in such a way that the conveying device comprises a conveying element which is longitudinally displaceable relative to the container and the head piece and has a conveying piston which is slidable in the conveying chamber and is connected to a conveying shaft which has a conveying channel surrounds circumferentially, which has a conveying channel inlet opening communicating with the conveying chamber and a conveying channel outlet opening, which can be brought into a position by a displacement movement of the conveying element relative to the head piece, in which the conveying channel outlet opening opens to the dispensing channel.
- the delivery chamber opens to the dispensing channel via a delivery channel outlet opening, which is released via a longitudinal displacement of the delivery element relative to the head piece.
- This relative movement is preferably achieved in that the head piece is manually operated, ie in the axial direction Direction is slid towards the container.
- the passage of the pasty product from the delivery chamber to the product delivery opening at the end of the delivery channel is accordingly already released by a translatory movement of the head piece relative to the delivery element.
- a previous build-up of pressure in the delivery chamber as was required in the generic state of the art to release the passage, is not necessary.
- the actuation forces for dispensing pasty products from the dispenser are correspondingly reduced.
- a delivery channel is provided downstream of the delivery chamber and is surrounded by a delivery shaft.
- the pasty product conveyed out of the conveying chamber is discharged through the conveying channel outlet opening into the discharge channel. Only after the product has been dispensed from the conveying duct outlet opening does it appear in the dispensing duct.
- the remaining output channel is in any case shorter than that of the generic donor. Accordingly, significantly less volume of pasty mass is impaired by any oxidation processes.
- the remaining length of the output channel can be shortened, in particular in the case of products which are highly susceptible to oxidation, in that the output channel opens outwards as an extension of the end face of the head piece.
- the conveying channel outlet opening is recessed on the circumferential surface of the conveying shaft and a bushing covering the conveying channel outlet opening in the starting position of the conveying device is provided on the head piece, so that a release movement of the pasty mass is easily achieved when the head part is lifted for conveying out Delivery channel outlet opening results in that the delivery shaft is moved relative to the bush.
- This preferred embodiment is not only simple, but also allows the conveying channel outlet opening to be arranged in the immediate vicinity of the inlet opening of the dispensing channel for the product to be conveyed.
- the aforementioned bushing is preferably designed as a guide bushing for the conveyor device and has at least one with the peripheral surface of the delivery shaft interacting guide surface.
- driver means are provided on the head part and on the conveying device, by means of which the conveying device after manual actuation when the head part is returned to the starting position is taken away.
- the aforementioned driver means are preferably formed in a simple manner by a driver shoulder formed on the bushing, which cooperates with a driver rim formed on the conveyor shaft.
- This entrainment ring is preferably integrally formed on the end of the conveyor shaft, so that the conveying channel outlet opening which is recessed below the entrainment ring can be sealed in the starting position by contacting the entrainment ring on the walls of the head part.
- the volume present in the output channel can be further reduced in that the driver shoulder is formed at the end of the socket and at the transition to the output channel and the driver rim in the front end region of the end of the closed delivery shaft, as is the case in a preferred development of the present invention is proposed.
- the end cap arranged on the end of the conveying shaft covers the dispensing channel essentially flush in the starting position of the conveying device and preferably has the driver rim.
- the delivery piston is preferably actuated via the end faces of the guide bush.
- the delivery piston projects radially beyond the delivery shaft to form an annular contact surface for a pressure surface, which is formed on the end face of the guide bush and which is arranged in the starting position at an axial distance from the contact surface and by axially displacing the head piece in the direction of the container the contact surface can be created.
- the inner sleeve projects beyond the end face of the container on the side facing the head piece.
- the inner sleeve is preferably integrally formed on the container in order to reduce the number of components.
- a head counterpart is proposed according to a preferred development of the present invention, which has a pot-shaped holding cylinder placed on the aforementioned inner sleeve and a concentric to the holding cylinder, which Sliding displacement of the head piece leading guide cylinder.
- the guide cylinder and / or the holding cylinder allow a slight concentric alignment of the head part with the cylinder. Furthermore, the guide cylinder improves the guidance of the lifting movement of the head piece when the dispenser is actuated.
- a relatively elongated guide for the delivery piston and on the other hand a stroke limitation of the delivery piston is provided in a simple manner.
- Such a stroke limitation holds the head part in the initial position on the container when the driver means are in operative connection.
- the holding cylinder preferably has a ring shoulder on the bottom, which forms a contact surface for a helical spring, which holds the head piece under tension in the starting position.
- a ring shoulder on the bottom, which forms a contact surface for a helical spring, which holds the head piece under tension in the starting position.
- the outer circumferential surface of the holding cylinder surrounds the helical spring on the inside and thus prevents the spring from buckling.
- the annular shoulder is placed on the end face of the container and is therefore particularly suitable for fixing the head counterpart in the axial direction with respect to the container.
- the head counterpart and the head piece are designed as prefabricated dispenser components.
- the head piece and the head counter piece with their outer lateral surface are in each case pushed over one another in a cup-shaped manner, the head counter piece having at least one stop for limiting the axial displacement movement of the head piece relative to the head counter piece.
- the head counter piece in the interior space surrounded by the lateral surfaces there is preferably a restoring element, for example the helical spring mentioned above, which holds the head piece and the head counter piece spaced apart in the axial direction under pretension.
- the abovementioned stop limits the axial displacement movement of the head piece, ie after the head piece and the head counter piece have been assembled, including the spring, ensures that the two components which are displaceable relative to one another are held together.
- the dispenser component formed in this way can be placed on differently designed containers, which allows economical production of the dispenser for very different applications and container volumes.
- a particularly simple and durable connection between the prefabricated dispenser component and the container is formed in that the dispenser component is latched to the container by means of latching means formed on the head counterpart and the end face of the container.
- the head piece is preferably displaceable in length in such a way that the head piece can be brought into a central position by manual actuation from the initial position initially by a first axial distance to bear against the delivery piston while simultaneously exposing the delivery channel outlet opening in the delivery channel, and the head part thereafter progressive axial displacement taking the delivery piston from the middle position into an output end position in which the delivery chamber has reached its smallest volume by moving the delivery piston.
- the delivery channel outlet opening is exposed and the substance is compressed in the delivery channel as part of a rectified movement of the head piece in the direction of the container.
- This preferred embodiment allows a structurally simple solution of the Dispenser according to the invention, in which the head piece acts directly on the delivery piston and drives it after delivery of the delivery channel outlet opening to deliver pasty mass.
- This movement of the head piece usually takes place against the force of a prestressing element, for example a spring, which ensures that when the head piece is relieved, it presses away from the dispensing end position away from the container.
- a prestressing element for example a spring
- a closing part is located at this product delivery opening.
- the closing part is preferably designed such that it opens due to a pressure difference between the discharge channel and the atmosphere for dispensing the pasty product. If, as mentioned above, the pasty mass in the delivery channel is withdrawn away from the product delivery opening, this leads to a relative negative pressure in the delivery channel, which ensures that the closing part seals the product delivery opening particularly effectively.
- the product discharge opening around a sealing pin arranged in the discharge channel.
- This locking pin is preferably formed in one piece on the head part.
- the closure part which is also ring-shaped, has a sealing lip which can be sealingly applied to the closure mandrel and which effectively closes the dispensing channel when the underpressure is effective, but when the pasty product is conveyed out, it releases a relatively large product dispensing opening through which the product can be conveyed out with a relatively low pressure drop.
- a highly effective closure part can be formed particularly economically by means of two-component injection molding on the head part, as is the case with a preferred drafted further development of the present invention is proposed.
- the closing part is firmly connected to the head part.
- the closing part is preferably formed from a flexible plastic, particularly preferably from a thermoplastic elastomer. It has been shown that an effective seal of the product discharge opening can be achieved in particular by a thermoplastic elastomer.
- the material for the sealing part can be used particularly preferably to form a functional surface on the front outer surface of the head part.
- a functional surface can be, for example, a pusher surface which improves the haptic properties and against which the user of the dispenser presses when using it.
- Such a functional surface is preferably formed by a coating at least on the outside on the outside of the head part.
- the closing part and the cover are formed in one piece, preferably by means of two-component injection molding after the injection molding of the head part.
