Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Sprühdose mit einem Dosenkörper gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a spray can with a can body according to the preamble of claim 1.

Sprühdosen sind seit langem aus der Praxis bekannt und existieren in den unterschiedlichsten Ausführungsformen. Dabei ist der Dosenkörper meist zylinderförmig ausgestaltet, wobei die Sprüheinrichtung an einer der Grundflächen des Zylinders angeordnet ist. Die Sprüheinrichtung ist meist durch einen Sprühkopf mit einem Sprühventil gebildet. Der Deckel ist häufig ebenfalls im Wesentlichen zylinderförmig ausgebildet, wobei eine Grundfläche des Zylinders weggelassen ist, um an den Dosenkörper im Bereich der Sprüheinrichtung anzukoppeln.Spray cans have long been known from practice and exist in a variety of embodiments. In this case, the can body is usually designed cylindrical, wherein the spray is arranged on one of the base surfaces of the cylinder. The spray is usually formed by a spray head with a spray valve. The lid is also often substantially cylindrical in shape with a base of the cylinder omitted to couple to the can body in the area of the sprayer.

Sprühdosen der eingangs genannten Art werden häufig zum Versprühen von farbigen Lacken verwendet. Zur Erkennung des Farbtons des im Dosenkörper aufgenommenen Lacks ist häufig entweder der Deckel entsprechend der aufgenommenen Lackfarbe vollständig eingefärbt oder ein Teil des Dosenkörpers entsprechend lackiert. Hierdurch ist beispielsweise beim Kauf der Sprühdose der Farbton des im Dosenkörper aufgenommenen Lacks sicher bestimmbar.Spray cans of the type mentioned are often used for spraying colored paints. To detect the color of the paint absorbed in the can body is often either the lid completely colored according to the recorded paint or a part of the can body painted accordingly. As a result, for example, when purchasing the spray can the color of the recorded in the can body paint safely determined.

Aus der ES 1 039 242 U ist eine Sprühdose mit allen Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Patentanspruchs 1 bekannt. Im Konkreten weist die bekannte Sprühdose einen Dosenkörper, eine Sprüheinrichtung und einen Deckel zum Schutz der Sprüheinrichtung auf. Des Weiteren ist dem Dosenkörper ein Farberkennungselement zur Anzeige der Farbe des Sprühguts zugeordnet. Das Farberkennungselement ist als ringartiger Außenmantel einer hohlen Kugelschicht mit einem oberen kleineren und einem unteren größeren Durchgang ausgebildet. Die Geometrie des Farberkennungselements ist derart gewählt, dass es unmöglich ist, das Farberkennungselement nach der Zuordnung wieder zu entfernen, ohne das Farberkennungselement zu zerbrechen. Ein einfaches Abnehmen des Farberkennungselements von der Sprühdose ist nicht möglich.From the ES 1 039 242 U a spray can with all features of the preamble of claim 1 is known. Specifically, the known aerosol on a can body, a spraying device and a lid to protect the sprayer on. Furthermore, the can body is assigned a color recognition element for displaying the color of the spray material. The color recognition element is formed as a ring-like outer shell of a hollow spherical layer having an upper smaller and a lower major passage. The geometry of the color recognition element is chosen such that it is impossible to remove the color recognition element after the assignment without the color recognition element to break. A simple removal of the color detection element of the spray can is not possible.

Die DE 2 039 314 A zeigt eine Sprühdose, bei der der Dom mit einer Farbschicht entsprechend dem Lackinhalt der Dose lackiert ist.The DE 2 039 314 A shows a spray can in which the dome is painted with a coat of paint according to the paint content of the can.

Die US 3 075 673 zeigt eine Sprühdose mit einer Schutzkappe zum Vermeiden eines unbeabsichtigten Vertropfens von Lack auf die Dose. Der bekannten Sprühdose ist kein Farberkennungselement zugeordnet.The US 3,075,673 shows a spray can with a protective cap to prevent inadvertent dropping of paint on the can. The known aerosol is assigned no color recognition element.

Die DE-GM 69 28 235 zeigt eine Sprühdose mit einem Farberkennungselement, das einem Deckel der Sprühdose zugeordnet ist.DE-GM 69 28 235 shows a spray can with a color detection element, which is associated with a lid of the spray can.

Aus der DE 94 14 679 U1 ist eine Sprühdose mit einem Deckel bekannt, wobei in den Deckel ein streifenförmig gefalteter flacher Informationsträger einlegbar ist.From the DE 94 14 679 U1 is a spray can with a lid known in the lid, a strip-shaped folded flat information carrier can be inserted.

Aus der DE 298 08 332 U1 ist ein Behälter mit einer Vertiefung bekannt, in die ein Kennzeichnungselement eingebracht werden kann.From the DE 298 08 332 U1 a container with a recess is known, in which an identification element can be introduced.

Die GB 2 090 809 A zeigt eine Flasche mit einem um den Hals der Flasche anordenbaren Etikett.The GB 2 090 809 A shows a bottle with a label that can be arranged around the neck of the bottle.

Bei den bekannten Sprühdosen ist häufig problematisch, das Farberkennungselement wieder von dem Dosenkörper oder dem Deckel - z. B. zur getrennten Wiederverwertung dieser Komponenten - zu lösen.In the known spray cans is often problematic, the color recognition element again from the can body or the lid - z. B. for separate recycling of these components - to solve.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Sprühdose der eingangs genannten Art derart auszugestalten und weiterzubilden, dass ein einfaches Lösen des Farberkennungselements von dem Dosenkörper oder dem Deckel mit konstruktiv einfachen Mitteln erreicht ist.The present invention is therefore the object of a spray can of the type mentioned in such a way and further develop that a simple release of the color detection element is achieved by the can body or the lid with structurally simple means.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die voranstehende Aufgabe durch eine Sprühdose mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.According to the invention the above object is achieved by a spray can with the features of claim 1.

In erfindungsgemäßer Weise ist das Farberkennungselement dem Dosenkörper reversibel zugeordnet. Hierdurch ist ermöglicht, dass das Farberkennungselement bei einer versehentlich unrichtigen Zuordnung zu dem Dosenkörper wieder entfernt werden und ein korrektes Farberkennungselement zugeordnet werden kann. Des Weiteren ist im Hinblick auf ein Recycling der Sprühdose nach ihrer Benutzung ein Trennen der Komponenten der Sprühdose - in diesem Fall eine Trennung des Farberkennungselements von dem Dosenkörper - möglich. Falls das Farberkennungselement aus einem anderen Material als der Dosenkörper hergestellt ist, kann somit eine materialspezifische Entsorgung oder Wiederbenutzung der Komponenten erfolgen.In accordance with the invention, the color recognition element is assigned reversibly to the can body. This makes it possible that the color detection element can be removed in case of accidental incorrect assignment to the can body and a correct color detection element can be assigned. Furthermore, with a view to recycling the spray can after use, it is possible to separate the components of the spray can - in this case a separation of the color recognition element from the can body. If the color recognition element is made of a different material than the can body, a material-specific disposal or reuse of the components can thus take place.

Zur Erzeugung einer besonders sicheren Klemmwirkung zwischen Außenmantel und ringartigem Dichtfalz im Bereich der Sprüheinrichtung ist der Innendurchmesser des oberen Durchgangs geringfügig kleiner als der Außendurchmesser des um die Sprüheinrichtung ausgebildeten, ringartigen Dichtfalzes des Dosenkörpers. Zum Anordnen des Außenmantels um den Dichtfalz bzw. entlang dem Dichtfalz ist dabei eine gewisse Kraft aufzuwenden, die den oberen Durchgang geringfügig elastisch dehnt, um einen sicheren Sitz an dem Dichtfalz oder einen sicheren Sitz unterhalb des Dichtfalzes nach Einnehmen des ursprünglichen ungedehnten Zustands des oberen Durchgangs zu erreichen. Im letztgenannten Fall müsste der Dichtfalz einen Bereich mit geringerem Außendurchmesser aufweisen. Alternativ zu einem derartigen geringeren Außendurchmesser könnte der Außenmantel soweit entlang dem Dichtfalz geführt werden, bis der Außenmantel quasi unterhalb des Dichtfalzes in einem Bereich geringeren Durchmessers ankommt.To produce a particularly secure clamping action between outer sheath and ring-like sealing fold in the region of the spraying device, the inner diameter of the upper passage slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the spray device formed around the annular sealing fold of the can body. In order to place the outer sheath around the sealing fold or along the sealing fold, a certain amount of force is needed to stretch the upper passage slightly elastically to ensure a secure fit on the sealing fold or a secure fit below the sealing fold after assuming the original unstretched state of the upper passage to reach. In the latter case, the sealing fold would have to have a region with a smaller outside diameter. As an alternative to such a smaller outer diameter, the outer sheath could be guided along the sealing fold until the outer sheath arrives quasi below the sealing fold in a region of smaller diameter.

Der Außenmantel könnte derart dem Dosenkörper zugeordnet oder derart auf dem Dosenkörper angeordnet werden, dass die Sprüheinrichtung quasi aus dem oberen kleineren Durchgang herausragt. Mit anderen Worten wäre die Sprüheinrichtung in diesem Fall von dem Außenmantel umgeben. Der Außenmantel weist eine relativ große Farberkennungsfläche auf, was die Farberkennung insgesamt vereinfacht.The outer sheath could be assigned to the can body or arranged on the can body in such a way that the spraying device virtually protrudes from the upper smaller passage. In other words, in this case, the spray device would be surrounded by the outer jacket. The outer shell has a relatively large color detection area, which simplifies color detection as a whole.

Der Außenmantel weist eine vorgebbare Materialdicke auf, die auf den jeweiligen Anwendungsfall abzustellen ist. Insbesondere bei einer nicht zu dicken Ausgestaltung des Außenmantels könnte der Außenmantel eine gewisse Elastizität aufweisen. Hierbei bietet sich als Material für den Außenmaterial insbesondere ein Kunststoff an. Aufgrund einer vorhandenen Elastizität könnte der Außenmantel mit Bereichen des Dosenkörpers eine wechselseitige Klemmwirkung bereitstellen, die zu einer sicheren Zuordnung des Farberkennungselements zu dem Dosenkörper beiträgt. Mit anderen Worten ist dann ein unbeabsichtigtes Lösen des Farberkennungselements von dem Dosenkörper weitestgehend vermieden.The outer sheath has a predefinable material thickness, which is to be turned off in the respective application. In particular, in a not too thick configuration of the outer sheath, the outer sheath could have a certain elasticity. In this case, offers as a material for the outer material, in particular a plastic. Due to existing elasticity, the outer sheath could provide areas of the can body with a mutual clamping action that contributes to a secure association of the color detection element to the can body. In other words, unintentional release of the color recognition element from the can body is largely avoided.

Sprühdosen für Farben bzw. Lacke weisen meist einen Dichtfalz auf, der letztendlich direkt um die Sprüheinrichtung ringartig ausgebildet ist. Hierdurch wird eine Abdichtung zwischen dem Dosenkörper und der Sprüheinrichtung erreicht, die meist als separates Element an dem Dosenkörper befestigt wird. Des Weiteren kann eine herkömmliche Sprühdose einen weiteren Falz oder Dichtfalz aufweisen, der im oberen Bereich des Dosenkörpers ausgebildet ist und letztendlich auch als Verstärkung dient. Erfindungsgemäß ist der innere Rand des oberen Durchgangs des Außenmantels - sich nach innen erweiternd - angeschrägt. Beim Zuordnen des Außenmantels zu dem Dosenkörper rutscht der Außenmantel aufgrund der Anschrägung somit einfacher über den ringartigen Dichtfalz zwischen Sprüheinrichtung und Dosenkörper.Spray cans for paints or varnishes usually have a sealing fold, which is finally formed ring-like directly around the spray. As a result, a seal between the can body and the spray is achieved, which is usually attached as a separate element to the can body. Furthermore, a conventional spray can have a further fold or sealing fold which is formed in the upper region of the can body and ultimately also as a reinforcement serves. According to the invention, the inner edge of the upper passage of the outer shell - bevelled inward - widening. When assigning the outer jacket to the can body, the outer shell thus slips easier due to the bevel on the annular sealing fold between the spray and can body.

Ebenfalls im Hinblick auf ein vereinfachtes Zuordnen oder Anordnen des Außenmantels zu oder an dem Dosenkörper könnte der Außenmantel im Bereich des Außenrands des unteren Durchgangs - zum unteren Durchgang oder zu seinem freien Ende hin - sich verjüngend angespitzt sein. Eine derartige im Außenbereich des Außenmantels vorgesehene Anspitzung des Außenmantels quasi in Richtung seiner inneren Achse vereinfacht ein Entlangführen oder Entlangrutschen des Außenmantels entlang dem ringartigen Falz oder Dichtfalz im oberen Bereich des Dosenkörpers.Also with a view to a simplified allocation or arrangement of the outer shell to or on the can body, the outer shell could be sharply tapered in the region of the outer edge of the lower passage - towards the lower passage or towards its free end. Such provided in the outer region of the outer shell tapering of the outer sheath quasi in the direction of its inner axis simplifies Entlicking or slipping along the outer sheath along the annular fold or Dichtfalz in the upper region of the can body.

Im Konkreten könnte der Außenmantel mit dem Außenrand des unteren Durchgangs vorzugsweise formschlüssig an dem inneren Umfang des im oberen Bereich des Dosenkörpers ausgebildeten, ringartigen Dichtfalzes angeordnet sein. Dieser Dichtfalz bildet dabei quasi eine Verbindung zwischen einer Seitenfläche und einer oberen Grundfläche des Dosenkörpers.Specifically, the outer sheath with the outer edge of the lower passage could preferably be arranged in a form-fitting manner on the inner circumference of the ring-shaped sealing fold formed in the upper region of the can body. This sealing fold forms a kind of connection between a side surface and an upper base surface of the can body.

Der Außendurchmesser des Außenmantels könnte im Bereich des unteren Durchgangs geringfügig größer sein als der Innendurchmesser des im oberen Bereich des Dosenkörpers ausgebildeten, ringartigen Falzes oder Dichtfalzes des Dosenkörpers. Hierdurch könnte wiederum eine Klemmwirkung aufgrund einer Elastizität des Außenmantels im Bereich des Falzes oder Dichtfalzes erreicht werden. Dies hätte eine besonders sichere Anordnung des Außenmantels am Dosenkörper zur Folge.The outer diameter of the outer sheath could be slightly larger in the region of the lower passage than the inner diameter of the formed in the upper region of the can body, annular fold or Dichtfalzes the can body. In this way, in turn, a clamping action could be achieved due to an elasticity of the outer sheath in the region of the fold or sealing fold. This would result in a particularly secure arrangement of the outer jacket on the can body.

Der Außenmantel könnte sich letztendlich vom Dichtfalz um die Sprüheinrichtung bis zum Falz oder Dichtfalz im oberen Bereich des Dosenkörpers erstrecken.The outer jacket could ultimately extend from the sealing fold around the spraying device to the fold or sealing fold in the upper region of the can body.

Im Hinblick auf ein vereinfachtes Lösen des Außenmantels von dem Dosenkörper könnte der Außenmantel einen sich im Wesentlichen von dem oberen Durchgang zu dem unteren Durchgang erstreckenden durchgängigen Schlitz aufweisen. Hierdurch könnte der Außenmantel einfach zusammengedrückt oder erweitert werden, um ein Abnehmen von dem Dosenkörper zu ermöglichen.In view of a simplified release of the outer sheath from the can body, the outer sheath could have a continuous slot extending substantially from the upper passage to the lower passage. hereby For example, the outer sheath could simply be compressed or expanded to permit removal from the can body.

Im Hinblick auf eine sichere Anordnung des Deckels auf dem Dosenkörper könnte der Deckel elastisch ausgebildet sein. Dabei könnte der Deckel insbesondere aus Kunststoff ausgebildet sein.With regard to a secure arrangement of the lid on the can body, the lid could be formed elastically. In this case, the lid could be formed in particular of plastic.

Hinsichtlich eines einfachen Entfernens des Farberkennungselements von dem Dosenkörper oder dem Deckel könnte das Farberkennungselement eine Sollbruchstelle aufweisen. Nach Erzeugung des vorgegebenen Bruchs könnte das Farberkennungselement dann einfach von dem Dosenkörper oder Deckel gelöst werden.With regard to a simple removal of the color recognition element from the can body or the lid, the color recognition element could have a predetermined breaking point. After generating the predetermined fracture, the color detection element could then be easily detached from the can body or lid.

Weiterhin im Hinblick auf ein einfaches Lösen des Farberkennungselements von dem Deckel oder dem Dosenkörper könnte das Farberkennungselement einen Eingriffsdurchgang oder eine Eingriffsausnehmung aufweisen. Der Eingriffsdurchgang oder die Eingriffsausnehmung könnten dabei derart dimensioniert sein, dass das Farberkennungselement entweder mit der Hand bzw. einem Finger oder mit einem speziellen Instrument greifbar und von dem Dosenkörper oder dem Deckel lösbar wäre.Furthermore, with a view to easy release of the color recognition element from the lid or the can body, the color recognition element could have an engagement passage or an engagement recess. The engagement passage or the engagement recess could be dimensioned such that the color detection element could be grasped either by hand or a finger or with a special instrument and detached from the can body or the lid.

There are now various possibilities for designing and developing the teaching of the present invention in an advantageous manner. For this purpose, on the one hand to the claims subordinate to claim 1, on the other hand, to refer to the following explanation of a preferred embodiment of the invention with reference to the drawings. In conjunction with the explanation of the preferred embodiment of the invention with reference to the drawing, generally preferred embodiments and developments of the teaching are explained.

Fig. 1 zeigt in einer schematischen Seitenansicht das Ausführungsbeispiel einer erfindungsgemäßen Sprühdose. Die Sprühdose weist einen Dosenkörper 1 zur Aufnahme des Sprühguts auf, wobei dem Dosenkörper 1 eine Sprüheinrichtung 2 für das Sprühgut zugeordnet ist. Des Weiteren weist die Sprühdose einen Deckel 3 zum Schutz der Sprüheinrichtung 2 auf. Im Hinblick auf eine vereinfachte Herstellung mit reduzierten Kosten ist die Sprühdose derart ausgestaltet, dass dem Dosenkörper 1 oder dem Deckel 3 ein Farberkennungselement 4 zur Anzeige der Farbe des Sprühguts zugeordnet ist. Fig. 1 shows a schematic side view of the embodiment of a spray can according to the invention. The spray can has a can body 1 for receiving the spray material, wherein the can body 1 is assigned a spraying device 2 for the spray material. Furthermore, the spray can has a cover 3 for protecting the spray device 2. With a view to a simplified production with reduced costs, the spray can is designed such that the can body 1 or the cover 3 is associated with a color detection element 4 for displaying the color of Sprühguts.

Das Farberkennungselement 4 ist zumindest in seinem Außenbereich mit dem Sprühgut lackiert, so dass sich letztendlich auf dem Farberkennungselement 4 dasselbe Sprühgut bzw. derselbe Lack befindet wie in dem Dosenkörper 1. Der Deckel 3 ist transparent ausgebildet, so dass das Farberkennungselement 4 auch bei geschlossenem Deckel 3 von außen sichtbar ist.The color recognition element 4 is painted with the spray material, at least in its outer area, so that ultimately the same spray material or the same paint is located on the color detection element 4 as in the can body 1. The lid 3 is transparent, so that the color detection element 4 even with the lid closed 3 is visible from the outside.

Das Farberkennungselement 4 ist dem Dosenkörper 1 reversibel zugeordnet. Das Farberkennungselement 4 ist letztendlich als geschlossener Ring ausgebildet, wobei das Farberkennungselement 4 genauer gesagt als ringartiger Außenmantel 5 einer hohlen Kugelschicht mit jeweils einem oberen kleineren und einem unteren größeren Durchgang 6 und 7 ausgebildet ist. Mit anderen Worten ist das Farberkennungselement 4 schalenartig ausgebildet.The color recognition element 4 is reversibly associated with the can body 1. The color recognition element 4 is finally formed as a closed ring, wherein the color recognition element 4 is more precisely formed as a ring-like outer shell 5 a hollow spherical layer, each having an upper smaller and a lower major passage 6 and 7. In other words, the color recognition element 4 is dish-shaped.

Der Außenmantel 5 ist elastisch aus Kunststoff ausgebildet, so dass ein einfaches Anordnen des Außenmantels 5 auf dem Dosenkörper 1 ermöglicht ist. Der innere Rand 8 des oberen Durchgangs 6 ist sich nach innen erweiternd angeschrägt. Des Weiteren ist der Außenmantel 5 im Bereich des Außenrands 9 des unteren Durchgangs 7 sich verjüngend angespitzt. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass der Außenmantel 5 einfacher an einem Dichtfalz 10 und an einem Dichtfalz 11 des Dosenkörpers entlanggleiten kann, wenn der Außenmantel 5 auf den Dosenkörper 1 aufgesetzt wird. Der Dichtfalz 10 bildet dabei den Übergang vom oberen Teil des Dosenkörpers 1 zur Sprüheinrichtung 2. Der Dichtfalz 11 bildet den Übergang von dem zylinderförmigen Mantel des Dosenkörpers 1 zum oftmals konisch ausgebildeten oberen Teil des Dosenkörpers 1.The outer jacket 5 is elastically formed from plastic, so that a simple arrangement of the outer jacket 5 on the can body 1 is made possible. The inner edge 8 of the upper passage 6 is tapered inwardly widening. Furthermore, the outer jacket 5 is sharply tapered in the region of the outer edge 9 of the lower passage 7. This has the advantage that the outer jacket 5 can slide along a sealing fold 10 and a sealing fold 11 of the can body more easily when the outer jacket 5 is placed on the can body 1. The sealing fold 10 forms the transition from the upper part of the can body 1 to the spray 2. The sealing fold 11 forms the transition from the cylindrical shell of the can body 1 to the often conical upper part of the can body. 1

Der Innendurchmesser des oberen Durchgangs 6 ist geringfügig kleiner als der Außendurchmesser des ringartigen Dichtfalzes 10. D. h., dass der Außenmantel 5 nach seiner Anordnung auf dem Dosenkörper 1 quasi unterhalb des Dichtfalzes 10 in einem verengten Bereich unterhalb des Dichtfalzes 10 eingerastet ist.The inner diameter of the upper passage 6 is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the ring-like Dichtfalzes 10. D. h. That the outer jacket 5 is snapped after its arrangement on the can body 1 almost below the Dichtfalzes 10 in a narrowed region below the Dichtfalzes 10.

Der Außenmantel 5 liegt mit dem Außenrand 9 des unteren Durchgangs 7 quasi formschlüssig an dem inneren Umfang des Dichtfalzes 11 des Dosenkörpers an. Hierzu könnte der Außendurchmesser des Außenmantels 5 im Bereich des unteren Durchgangs 7 geringfügig größer ausgebildet sein als der Innendurchmesser des Dichtfalzes 11. Damit wäre quasi ein Anschmiegen des Außenmantels 5 am inneren Umfang des Dichtfalzes 11 realisiert.The outer jacket 5 is connected to the outer edge 9 of the lower passage 7 quasi form-fitting manner on the inner circumference of the sealing fold 11 of the can body. For this purpose, the outer diameter of the outer jacket 5 in the region of the lower passage 7 could be formed slightly larger than the inner diameter of the sealing fold 11. This would almost a snuggling of the outer jacket 5 on the inner circumference of the sealing fold 11 realized.

Der Außenmantel 5 erstreckt sich im Wesentlichen von dem oberen Dichtfalz 10 zu dem unteren Dichtfalz 11.The outer jacket 5 extends substantially from the upper sealing fold 10 to the lower sealing fold 11.

Der Deckel 3 weist Ausnehmungen 12 für ein Farberkennungselement 4 auf. Insoweit könnte auch dem Deckel 3 ein Farberkennungselement 4 zugeordnet werden. Im Konkreten sind die Ausnehmungen 12 in Auflagestegen 13 des Deckels 3 ausgebildet, die zur Auflage auf dem Dosenkörper 1 dienen. Der Deckel 3 ist ebenfalls elastisch und aus Kunststoff ausgebildet.The cover 3 has recesses 12 for a color recognition element 4. In that regard, the lid 3, a color detection element 4 could be assigned. Specifically, the recesses 12 are formed in support webs 13 of the lid 3, which serve to rest on the can body 1. The lid 3 is also elastic and made of plastic.

Die Fig. 2 bis 4 zeigen das als Außenmantel 5 ausgebildete Farberkennungselement 4 in einer schematischen Seitenansicht, in einer schematischen Draufsicht sowie in einer perspektivischen Ansicht, jeweils vergrößert. Dabei sind der obere Durchgang 6 und der untere Durchgang 7 besonders gut erkennbar.The Fig. 2 to 4 show the formed as an outer shell 5 color recognition element 4 in a schematic side view, in a schematic plan view and in a perspective view, each enlarged. In this case, the upper passage 6 and the lower passage 7 are particularly clearly visible.

Hinsichtlich weiterer vorteilhafter Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der erfindungsgemäßen Lehre wird zur Vermeidung von Wiederholungen einerseits auf den allgemeinen Teil der Beschreibung und andererseits auf die beigefügten Patentansprüche verwiesen.With regard to further advantageous embodiments and further developments of the teaching of the invention reference is made to avoid repetition on the one hand to the general part of the description and on the other hand to the accompanying claims.

Abschließend sei ganz besonders hervorgehoben, dass das zuvor rein willkürlich gewählte Ausführungsbeispiel lediglich zur Erörterung der erfindungsgemäßen Lehre dient, diese jedoch nicht auf dieses Ausführungsbeispiel einschränkt.Finally, it should be particularly emphasized that the previously purely arbitrarily chosen embodiment is only for the purpose of discussion of the teaching of the invention, but this does not limit this embodiment.
