  • This coupling device has two coupling part devices, wherein a coupling part device is provided on the container unit and a coupling part means on the main unit.
  • the said container unit is thus provided as an exchange unit. While the main unit, comprising the pumping means and preferably also the discharge opening, are intended for prolonged use, the container unit comprising the liquid dispenser is intended to be replaced. This makes it possible, on the one hand, to exchange an already completely emptied container unit for a new, full container unit. In addition, it is also possible for the user to use different containers with generic same, but different content, for example, different types of make-up, depending on the occasion alternately.
  • the invention is in particular how the coupling device for coupling the container unit works.
  • This coupling device is designed to allow both the coupling and uncoupling of the container unit by a force application of the container unit in the direction of the main unit.
  • both for coupling and for uncoupling a matching force application of the container unit is provided.

  • stop surfaces are provided which are separated from each other by interruptions.
  • the holding cam provided on the side of the other coupling subassembly, that is preferably on the container unit, is arranged in a rotational position in alignment with the interruptions, so that it can dive behind those interruptions.

  • a retaining sock is sufficient. However, it may also be provided more retaining cams, which are offset in the circumferential direction against each other, in particular two retaining cams on opposite sides or for each abutment surface in each case an associated retaining cam.
  • At least one of the coupling part devices preferably has a tooth-like ramp structure and at the other coupling device a mating surface corresponding thereto is provided, by which the two coupling devices are rotated against each other about the axis of rotation in a defined desired relative rotational position when they are pressed axially towards each other.
  • the number of individual ramps of the ramp structure acting in one of the directions of rotation preferably coincides with the sum of the interruptions and the interruptions provided between them. In particular, it is preferably four or more arranged in the same direction of rotation ramps on the tooth-like ramp structure.

  • These mutually facing structures which are preferably formed in the manner of a spur gearing, engage with each other when the container unit is pressed from the coupled or disconnected state as far as possible to the coupling part of the main unit.
  • These desired relative positions make it possible to align the two coupling parts specifically with respect to the circumferential direction to one another by pressing the coupling parts to each other to effect a defined rotational position, depending on the position of the at least one retaining cam at a subsequent spacing either the threading Holding cam in an interruption or putting the retaining cam on a stop surface is the result. Since preferably one tooth each of the tooth-like ramp structure leads to a desired relative rotational position in each case, a corresponding number of interruptions and stop surfaces is preferably provided.

  • the subsequent pressing of the coupling subassemblies would not cause any rotation of the container unit and the main unit relative to one another, so that a subsequent force acting in the axial separation direction would cause the Container unit would solve again from the main unit.
  • the rotational position in which the retaining cam can be guided through the interruption is therefore one which subsequently causes a slight rotation of the container unit and the main unit against each other due to the ramp structure and the mating surfaces.
  • This twisting is sufficient, in a subsequent relative movement taking place in the axial direction of the container unit relative to the main unit to a placement of the retaining cam on one of the sliding surfaces cause this sliding surface is set such that the retaining cam touches on a stop surface after the slight relative rotational movement.
  • the coupled state is established.
  • the container unit If the container unit is then pressed against the main unit again, it will again due to the interaction of the ramp structure and the counter surface to a relative rotation between the container unit and the main unit, so that this time the retaining cam is moved to a relative rotational position, from which they then to a for abuts the aforementioned sliding surface adjacent sliding surface, which leads due to their inclination, the retaining cam in an interruption between the stop surfaces. It is thus provided both when coupling and when uncoupling the container unit that it comes to a two-part rotary movement, the first part is caused by the pressing of the coupling parts together, and the second part by the subsequent sliding of the retaining cam on one of the sliding surfaces is caused.
  • a spring device in particular in the form of a helical spring, can preferably be provided which, in the coupled state of the coupling device between the coupling part devices, forces it against each other in a separating direction.
  • the spring device ensures that compression of the coupling part devices can only take place with simultaneous deformation of the spring device and thus against its force. As a result, after the coupling subassemblies are applied to each other, the coupling subassemblies automatically separate from each other again, so that in the course of this movement the retaining cam can rest on the sliding surface.
  • the spring device can in particular be fixed to one of the coupling part devices and extend in the direction of the other coupling part device.

  • a membrane may be an integral part of the container side coupling part means or be welded or glued thereto.
  • An alternative design to a membrane provides that a closure ball rests against the opening of the container unit, which is held in position by slight overpressure in the container unit.
