Definitions
- the present invention relates to a dispenser cartridge according to the preamble of claim 1 and a donor endorder into which such donor cartridges are used.
- a very simple method is to mix the substance directly into the base liquid, whereby, however, an irreversible state is created and the amount of introduced substance is set once.
- EP 1 059 852 discloses, for example, systems in which hollow-cylindrical matrix bodies with substances stored therein are used, for example, in a bottle top such that the liquid must flow past it during pouring and absorb aroma substances.
- capsules for insertion into such devices are also known, in which the substance or the flavoring agent is contained.
- the capsule is opened once and irreversibly and then emptied the entire amount of the substance in the liquid. This is disadvantageous, since in this way the capsule can be used only once and, by contrast, the intensity of the addition of the donor substance is not adjustable.
- first and second closure means are provided which seal the openings in an initial configuration, wherein the closure means can be brought into an operating configuration in which a flow path through the enveloping element is released for the liquid.
- the donor substance inside the dispenser cartridge is stored safely and permanently and above all protected against external environmental influences.
- By providing a defined flow path through the dispenser cartridge it is ensured at the same time that the flow of the liquid entering the dispenser cartridge accommodates the donor substance and exits the dispenser cartridge again, and thus this structural design of the dispenser cartridge allows control, when and how much of the donor substance gets into the fluid.
- the donor cartridge is sealed in the initial configuration fluid and / or gas-tight against unwanted entry of the liquid and / or fluid and / or gas-tight against leakage of the donor substance.
- dispenser cartridge or the casing element has a tubular, elongated, about its central longitudinal axis around rotationally symmetrical, in particular approximately hollow cylindrical shape or that the dispenser cartridge or the enveloping element than, in particular straight, hollow cylinder with triangular cross-section, preferably as an isosceles triangle with outwardly curved legs, or is designed as a polygonal profile.
- the enveloping element has a corrugated or jagged or curved wall, wherein the inner surface, optionally also the outer surface, of the enveloping element has a wavy or serrated configuration deviating from a circular cylinder surface having a circular diameter, it results that a good throughflow through the Donor cartridge remains permanently guaranteed, as in this way, at least in the edge region always remain channels for the passage of liquid.
- this shaping a rotatability of the dispenser cartridge can be prevented when the dispenser cartridge is inserted into a seat with a corresponding shape in a dispenser assembly.
- the closure means are adjustable, whereby the inlet, the flow and the outlet of the liquid in, by the or from the central space or the donor cartridge, in particular continuously, is variable.
- the closure means are advantageously designed so that they are adjustable via externally actuated activation or adjusting means.
- closure means are reversibly adjustable in both directions, that is, opposite to one another, and in particular can be displaced linearly along the central longitudinal or central axis.
- the flow of the dispenser cartridge can be both increased and decreased.
- the flow path or the flow rate through the central space or through the dispenser cartridge through the closure means by at least 50%, preferably by 70%, particularly preferably by 90%, compared to the maximum Passage capacity is reduced or that the openings are closed again completely tightly by the closure means after the first opening.
- a structurally advantageous embodiment provides that the first and second closure means are designed as plugs or comprise plugs.
- a guide element in particular largely or completely sunk into the interior of the central space, is arranged, wherein the stopper is mounted or arranged in each case in a central through-going recess of the guide element.
- the plugs permanently in both the initial configuration and in the Operating configuration are arranged completely inside the dispenser cartridge or inside the central space.
- the plugs are thus components of the dispenser cartridge, which can not be incurred or dropped separately either before, during and also after use of the dispenser cartridge, but permanently remain inside the dispenser cartridge.
- the donor substance itself, it is advantageous if the donor substance is present in a form in which it at least partially changes into the liquid on contact with the liquid. In this way, a reliable dosage is possible.
- the at least one donor substance is soluble or dispersible in the liquid, and is selected from the group of flavorings, drugs, additives, vitamins, minerals and / or dyes, etc. But there are also other substances possible, which can bring in this way in a liquid.
- One possibility of arranging the donor substance is that the donor substance is applied or arranged on the inner surface of the enveloping element.
- the donor substance is applied to or contained in at least one separate, in particular ball, rod, thread or pin-shaped, donor element arranged in the central space.
- This also results in that the donor substance or the donor element is reversibly exchangeable or removable after use from the donor cartridge and instead a new donor element can be used.
- a donor element in which the donor substance has a particularly good release profile results in that the donor element has a porous matrix, in particular of plastic, which defines an internal network of channels and defines pores on the exposed surface of the matrix which are in fluid communication with the channels are, wherein the pores preferably have a mean size of 20 ⁇ to 200 ⁇ , wherein the donor substance is in the matrix, in particular in the channels.
- a porous matrix in particular of plastic
- the pores preferably have a mean size of 20 ⁇ to 200 ⁇ , wherein the donor substance is in the matrix, in particular in the channels.
- a permanently permeable by the liquid intermediate region is formed and at least partially always remains free, that there is permanently at least one continuous open flow channel between the two openings.
- This is supported for example by the special shape of the wall of the enveloping element by this wall is wavy or jagged. In this way, there can be no blockage of the bypass path and it is ensured that the donor substance is always fed into the liquid.
- a dispensing assembly for introducing a donor substance into a liquid comprising a dispenser cartridge as described above and a dispenser cap connectable to a liquid source or container for holding and storing liquid, in particular a bottle the dispensing cartridge is operably disposed in or on the dispensing attachment or is brought into operative connection with the dispensing attachment.
- Dispenser assembly for introducing a donor substance provided in a liquid, comprising
- a dispensing attachment which can be connected to a liquid source or a container for receiving and storing liquid, in particular a bottle, and which can be traversed by at least part of the liquid, the liquid being able to be brought to at least one dispensing opening, and
- a donor cartridge containing a donor substance the donor cartridge being operably disposed in or on the dispenser cap or being operatively engageable with the dispenser cap
- a defined main flow path for the liquid can be formed, which extends while avoiding the dispenser cartridge or on the dispenser cartridge over in the direction of the discharge opening, and
- the constructive separation into a main flow path and a bypass path through the dispenser cartridge ensures that not the entire part of the liquid is mixed with the donor substance or is passed through an element containing the donor substance, but the user can adjust the flow conditions and thus the dosage of the donor substance in wide areas is flexible. For putting in, this ensures that the donor substance is mixed into the liquid only immediately before use or the exit from the arrangement and thus the mixture is always fresh. In this way, any interactions or reactions of the donor substance with the liquid are reduced or avoided altogether and the user comes with every single sip in the enjoyment of a completely fresh prepared mixture.
- the majority of the liquid can be flowed via the main flow path or that the ratio between the liquid flow rates through the main flow path and the bypass flow can be at least 1: 1, preferably 5: 1, particularly preferably 9: 1 , is.
- the dispenser cartridge can be kept small and thin and a small amount of fluid that can flow through the dispenser cartridge is sufficient to pressurize the fluid with the donor substance.
- the main flow path and the bypass path before the discharge opening are fluidly connectable and / or meet and the liquid part of the main flow path with the liquid part of the bypass path is compatible and miscible. In this way, it is ensured that only a thoroughly mixed and homogeneously displaced from the donor substance fluid exits from the discharge opening. This avoids fluctuations and the concentration of the donor substance remains at a constant and reliably adjustable level.
- a downstream of the dispensing opening and upstream of the dispenser cartridge arranged mixing chamber can be formed or formed, in which the main flow path and the bypass path open. In this way, a defined space is formed, in which both flow paths necessarily combine and must mix before reaching the discharge opening. This guarantees optimum homogenization.
- a structurally advantageous arrangement results from the fact that the main flow path is spatially au ßerraum around the bypass path around, and this at least partially, in particular on all sides, surrounds, in particular in the form of several separate channels or in the form of a substantially ring or cylinder jacket-shaped channel.
- this design results in a good mixing in the mixing chamber.
- a structurally particularly practical dispenser arrangement results from the fact that the dispenser attachment comprises a base unit and an activation unit which can be adjusted to the base unit, mechanical activation or adjustment means acting on the closure means and for opening the dispenser cartridge and thus in both the base unit and the activation unit are provided for opening the bypass path.
- Such a device is also light and easy to use.
- a first seat for the dispenser cartridge is formed, wherein at its distal end portion of the dispensing opening, a first activation or setting means for opening the first plug of the dispenser cartridge, in particular a short the first pin is arranged, and in that in the activation unit, a second seat for the opposite end of the donor cartridge is formed, wherein at its end near the discharge opening a second activation or adjusting means for opening the second plug, in particular a short second bolt is arranged ,
- the dispenser cartridge can also be inserted easily and quickly into the dispenser arrangement, where it assumes a secure and central position protected on all sides.
- the first seat is advantageously designed so that it comprises a hollow cylindrical part which extends in operation along the longitudinal axis down to the liquid source.
- the inner surface of the first seat or the hollow cylindrical part is formed opposite or corresponding to the outer shape of the Hüllelements, in particular corrugated or serrated, whereby a safeguard against rotation of the donor cartridge is achieved in the first seat.
- the inner surface of the second seat is preferably smooth, in particular circular cylindrical, formed, whereby a rotation of the dispenser cartridge in the second seat is possible and thus a rotation of the activation unit to the base unit with inserted dispenser cartridge is possible.
- the base unit and the activation unit are mutually spaced adjustable, in particular rotatable by a thread, whereby the linear distance of the first activation or adjusting means to the second activation or Adjusting means is changeable, whereby by a Reducing the distance is an impression of the plug inside the dispenser cartridge is effected.
- a secure adjustability and adjustability of the concentration of the donor substance in the liquid advantageously results from the fact that the plugs are displaceable in each case by the same path or towards each other.
- the bolts are dimensioned so that they force and / or positively engage in the recesses of the plug, resulting in a good reversible adjustability.
- a movement of the closure means or the plug in the direction of its original position is effected, in particular one at least 50th %, preferably by 70%, particularly preferably by 90% compared to the maximum passage capacity reduced flowability, preferably an almost complete fluid-tight closeability of the dispenser cartridge.
- a very special advantage for the user results from the fact that the dispenser cartridge is reversibly interchangeable inserted into the dispenser assembly.
- the dispenser attachment in particular the base unit, a thread, preferably an internal thread, and on a bottle, in particular reversible, can be screwed, the dispenser assembly in this way, for example, reversibly on conventional beverage bottles, such as PET Mineralwasserf tabs, screwed the bottle and the liquid contained in it are or can be exchanged at any time.
- a closure unit which is in particular mounted reversibly adjustable to the activation unit, through which the bypass path and optionally also the main flow path can be closed.
- a closure unit which is in particular mounted reversibly adjustable to the activation unit, through which the bypass path and optionally also the main flow path can be closed.
- it is possible to block both flow paths alternatively it may also be advantageous to perform only the bypass path closable and to keep the main flow path permanently open to ensure the flow of pure, not enriched with donor liquid.
- the closure unit can also be designed such that the mixing chamber is formed by lifting the closure unit of the activation unit.

- the sheath element 2 has an elongated configuration and is arranged rotationally symmetrically about a central longitudinal axis 5. It has approximately the shape of a hollow cylinder, but with a corrugated wall. The wall thickness is small compared to the length, but sufficient to the envelope element 2 to give an integral stability.
- the enveloping element 2 is made of, preferably transparent, plastic material.
- a donor substance is provided which, when in contact with the liquid, can at least partially pass into the liquid.
- This donor substance is ideally soluble or dispersible in the liquid.
- donor substances are flavorings, drugs, various additives, vitamins, minerals, dyes or other substances in question, which one would like to bring into the liquid.
- the donor substance can be present in different ways in the central space 3.
- the donor substance is on a separate rod-shaped donor element 15.
- This donor element 15 has a porous matrix of a polymer material with an internal network of channels and pores on its surface, the donor substance being incorporated in this matrix. Upon contact with the liquid, the donor substance is then washed out in small quantities and passes into the liquid.
- the dispensing element 15 can have different shapes and cross sections. In Fig. 5 it has the shape of a cuboid, in Fig. 5 it has a cross-shaped cross section and in Fig. 7 has a cylindrical shape.
- the dispenser element 15 is present as an integral part of the dispenser cartridge 1 and is not removable from this.
- a permanently open and permeable intermediate region is formed, through which liquid can flow.
- these intermediate regions are identified as throughflow channels 16.
- the cylindrical dispensing element 15 closes almost tightly with the radially innermost wall parts of the enveloping element 2, but the throughflow channels 16 formed by the wavy configuration remain permanently free. In this way, the liquid can flow through the dispenser cartridge 1 permanently and effectively take up and take away the donor substance.
- Fig. 7a shows an alternative embodiment of the dispenser cartridge 1 in cross section.
- the enveloping element 2 or the dispensing cartridge 1 is designed as a straight hollow cylinder and has a triangular outer contour and a likewise triangular inner contour.
- the corners of the envelope formed as an isosceles triangle 2 are rounded and the legs of the envelope element 2 shown in cross-section or the side surfaces or the wall of the dispenser cartridge 1 are curved outward Shen.
- the enveloping element 2 or the dispensing cartridge 1 may also be triangular, preferably designed as an isosceles triangle, or the dispensing cartridge may be in the form of a hollow polygonal profile in the sense of DIN 3271 1 (P3G) and DIN 32712 (P4C).
- the openings 11a and 11b are closed or closable by first and second closure means 4a and 4b.

- the dispenser cartridge 1 is shown in its closed initial configuration, in which the plugs 8a, 8b are inserted into the central recesses 12a, 12b of the guide elements 9a, 9b and thus constitute a fluid and gas-tight barrier and both the entry of the liquid in the central space 3 as well as the possible leakage of the donor substance from the donor cartridge 1 effectively prevent.
- the donor cartridges 1 are sold and are long shelf life, since the donor substance is well protected against environmental influences.
- Fig. 4 the dispenser cartridge 1 is shown in an open operating configuration.
- the liquid through the central space 3 on the dispenser element 15 passing therethrough.
- This flow path is released by an adjustment of the closure means 4a, 4b, wherein in Fig. 4, the two plugs 8a, 8b are displaced into the interior of the central space 3 and no longer sit in the guide elements 9a, 9b.
- liquid can penetrate through the central recesses 12, 12b into the interior of the central space 3 and exit again.
- the closure means 4a, 4b in the present case, more precisely, the plugs 8a, 8b, are, as shown in FIG. 2, adjustable via externally actuatable activation or setting means 27a, 27b.
- the adjusting means 27a, 27b engage in the respective Outer sides 13a, 13b of the plugs 8a, 8b formed adjusting guides 14a, 14b and move the plugs 8a, 8b in this way along the central longitudinal axis 5 linearly in the central space 3.

In this way, the flow path through the central space 3 through is again reduced or the openings 1 1 a, 1 1 b or the central recesses 12a, 12b at least partially, possibly even completely closed.
- the dispenser cartridge 1 is designed both constructively and functionally to be used and used in a corresponding dispenser assembly 20.
- a dispenser assembly 20 comprises a dispenser attachment 21, which is connected to a liquid source or a container for receiving and storing liquid, for example a bottle or the like, or can be connected.
- the dispenser assembly 20 comprises the dispenser cartridge 1, which is operably arranged in or on the dispenser attachment 21 or can be brought into functional operative connection with the dispenser attachment 21 so that the liquid flowing through the dispenser attachment 21 can receive donor substance from the dispenser cartridge 1.
- the dispenser arrangement 20 comprises a dispenser attachment 21 through which a liquid can flow from a container or a liquid source, the liquid being able to be brought to a dispensing opening 23. In this way, the liquid or mixture reaches the user or consumer.
- the dispenser assembly 20 includes a dispenser cartridge 1 inserted therein which is constructed substantially as described in Figs. 1-7 and which is operably and operatively connected to the dispenser top 21.
- a defined main flow path 24 is formed for the liquid in the dispenser assembly 20, which extends from the source in the direction of the discharge opening 23, avoiding the dispenser cartridge 1 or on the dispenser cartridge 1.
- a defined by the main flow path 24 fluidly defined bypass path 25 is formed by the dispensing cartridge 1 by contacting the dispenser element 15th and also receiving at least a portion of the donor substance from the fluid source toward the discharge port 23.
- the amount is adjustable and depends inter alia on the donor substance to be supplied and the desired concentration. It is easily possible to increase the ratio of the quantities of liquid between the main flow path 24 and the bypass path 25, for example to at least 5: 1 or 9: 1.
- a particularly advantageous embodiment of a dispenser assembly 20 is shown.
- the dispenser cartridge 1 corresponds to the dispenser cartridge of FIGS. 1 to 4.
- the dispenser attachment 21 comprises a base unit 28, an activation unit 29 and a closure unit 31 as basic components.
- the base unit 28 has an internal thread 32 with which the dispenser attachment 21 can be screwed onto a bottle.
- the base unit 28 further comprises a first seat 30 a for the dispenser cartridge 1.
- This seat 30a comprises a hollow cylindrical part 38 which extends downwards along the longitudinal axis 5 to the liquid source.
- the inner surface of the first seat 30a or of the hollow cylindrical part 38 is formed in the same or corresponding to the outer shape of the enveloping element 2 (FIG. 12).
- the transmitter cartridge 1 is thereby secured against rotation in the base unit 28 or in the first seat 30a or in the hollow cylindrical part 38.
- a grid element 39 (FIG. 12) is provided, which has a central, upwardly directed bolt 27a.
- This pin 27a acts as the first activation or setting means 27a and engages in the setting guide 14a of the stopper 8a of the dispensing cartridge 1.
- a number of passage openings 33 are provided, which are arranged in a circle around the dispensing cartridge 1. This can also be seen in detail in FIG. 11, in which a section along the section line XI of the activation unit 29 in the direction of the base unit 28 is shown. Recognizable are the annularly arranged passage openings 33 and the view down on the first pin 27 a. In Fig. 1 1, the dispenser cartridge 1 has been omitted for clarity.
- the activation unit 29 connects to the top of the base unit 28 and is relative to this adjustable or rotatably mounted via a thread 40. That way the distance between the base unit 28 and the activation unit 29 changes.
- the activation unit 29 comprises, as an essential element, a second seat 30b for the opposite end of the dispensing cartridge 1.
- a grid element in particular identical to the first grid element 39, is provided which carries a second pin 27b, which is oriented downwardly in the direction of the base unit 28.
- the inner surface of the second seat 30b is circular-cylindrical (FIG. 13). As a result, the dispenser cartridge 1 can rotate or rotate in or relative to the second seat 30b.
- the activation unit 29 as well as the base unit 28 is completely permeable by the liquid.
- the liquid can enter below through inlet openings 34.
- FIG. 13 is the section according to section line XIII, viewed from the base unit 28 to the activation unit 29.
- the slot-shaped inflow openings 34 which are arranged around the donor cartridge 1, not shown, are visible and the centrally located bolt 27b.
- the dispenser cartridge 1 is seated both in the first seat 30a and in the second seat 30b and is held by the base unit 28 and the activation unit 29 and enclosed on all sides.
- the dispenser assembly 20 also includes the closure unit 31. This is used to close the Beipasswegs 25 and optionally also the main flow path 24.
- the closure unit 31 the discharge openings 23 are formed. More specifically, these are shown in Fig. 14, in which a section according to the section line XIV is shown from below.
- the closure unit 31 is linearly movable up and down over a number of webs 36 which are slidably mounted in guides 37 of the activation unit 29 and thus suitable for closing the flow paths.
- Fig. 15 the individual elements are shown in the assembled state. At the bottom of the Au is outside of the first seat 30a including hollow cylindrical part 38 can be seen, which is the lower part of the base unit 28.
- the activation unit 29 is then arranged at the top and then the closure unit 31 with the discharge openings 23 again.
- the diameters of the components taper from the base unit 28 via the activation unit 29 to the closure unit 31 corresponds to the diameter of a conventional bottle mouthpiece.
- 8 shows a cross-section through a particularly advantageous embodiment of a dispenser assembly 20, specifically in a position in which the dispenser cartridge 1 has already been activated and opened, but the closure unit 31 is still closed.
- the reference numeral 24 designates the main flow path, which can initially freely flow through a space 41 of the base unit 28 and leaves the base unit 28 through the throughflow openings 33, passes through the inflow openings 34 into the activation unit 29, flows upwards through the space 42, and the dispenser assembly 20 exits through the dispensing openings 23.
- the discharge openings 23 are not closable by the closure unit 31, but permanently open. In this way, therefore, the pure liquid from the source can permanently flow through the dispenser assembly 20 and exit.
- the closure unit 31 also blocks the main flow path 24 by, for example, shifting the dispensing openings 23 further inwards, whereby the web of the activation unit 29 closes them.
- the reference numeral 25 denotes the bypass path which passes through the dispenser cartridge 1.
- the liquid absorbs donor substance and exits from the central recess 12b from the dispensing cartridge 1 and into an annular space 43, which is subdivided by the grating element 39 into areas.
- this annular space 43 is closed by the closure unit 31, whereby the liquid can indeed pass through the dispenser cartridge 1, but can not leave the dispenser assembly 20 and in particular can not connect to the main flow path 24. In this position, therefore, only pure liquid reaches the consumer.
- Fig. 9 the dispenser assembly 20 is shown in a position where the shutter unit 31 has been opened.
- a mixing chamber 26 is formed downstream of the discharge openings 23 and upstream of the mouth end portions of the main flow path 24 and the bypass path 25.
- the main flow path 24 discharges from the space 42 into the mixing chamber 26 and can be distributed there.
- the bypass passage 25 opens from the annular space 43 into the mixing chamber 26 and can also be distributed there.
- the two streams are mixed and the pure liquid mixes with the liquid added by the donor substance. The thus mixed streams may then leave the mixing chamber 26 via the discharge openings 23.
- the dispenser cartridge 1 is shown in each case in a maximum open position, in which the flow path through the dispenser assembly 1 is maximally open, that is, the plugs 8a, 8b are displaced maximally inward in the central space 3. In this way, the largest possible amount of donor substance is absorbed into the liquid.
- a position of the dispenser assembly 20 is shown, in which the mixing chamber 26 is formed, that is, the closure unit 31 is opened, in which, however, the flow path through the dispenser cartridge 1 is reduced.
- This is caused by a rotation of the activation unit 29 in comparison to the base unit 28 (indicated by the arrow), whereby a gap region 44 recognizable between these units is formed.
- This increases the linear distance of the two bolts 27a, 27b to each other. Due to the fact that the bolt 27b engages in the plug 8b with clamping and snug fit, the bolt 27b carries the plug 8b upward when the activating unit 29 is displaced upward. In this way, the plug 8b reduces the central recess 12b and thus reduces the escape of the liquid from the dispensing cartridge 1.
- the inner circumference of the hollow cylindrical part 38 in the base unit 28 may be an inside smooth, circular cylindrical one Have cross-section.
- the dispenser cartridge 1 can be secured in the activation unit 29 by opposite or corresponding formation of the inner periphery of the second seat 30b to the outer shape of the enveloping element 2 against rotation.
- the inner circumference of the second seat 30b may also have an inner smooth, circular cylindrical cross section, so that the dispenser cartridge 1 can rotate about its longitudinal axis both in the first seat 30a and in the second seat 30b.
- a donor rim 20 is described, which is designed as a bottle cap, which is screwed onto a drinking bottle, which is filled with pure water or mineral water, screwed.
- the base unit 28 is placed with the thread 32 on the external thread of the bottle.
- the first seat 30a extends into the interior of the bottle, wherein the seat 30a is above the liquid level. It is thereby excluded that donor substance penetrates into the liquid.
- a sealed dispensing cartridge 1 is inserted into the base unit 28.
- a donor substance for example, a flavoring agent is used in the present case.
- the insertion and the secure hold are facilitated by the fact that both the dispenser cartridge 1 and the corresponding recess or the first seat 30a have a corresponding corrugated shape. In this way, the donor cartridge 1 is also secured against rotation.
- the activation unit 29 is placed on the base unit 28 and screwed by rotation over the thread 40 down. This reduces the distance between the bolts 27a and 27b and both plugs 8a and 8b are pushed inwardly by a perceptible click.
- the dispenser cartridge 1 is thus activated and in the open operating configuration in which there is a flow path therethrough.
- the closure unit 31 is opened by lifting relative to the activation unit 29, whereby the mixing chamber 26 is formed and all flow paths are opened.
- the bypass flow 25 takes the maximum amount of flavoring and you can thus remove a flavored water from the discharge openings 23. If you want to reduce the amount of flavor, so you twisted the activation unit 29 relative to the base unit 28 upwards, whereby, as in Fig. 10, the bypass flow 25 is reduced and the amount of flavor decreases.
- bypass 25 can be completely closed by closing the closure unit 31.
