Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fastening of a dispensing head to the neck of a bottle containing a disinfectant liquid, the neck of which has an external thread, the dispensing head having an internal thread and an intermediate piece being insertable between the neck of the bottle and the dispensing head
  • Disinfectants are often used especially in medical practices and in hospitals, not only for hygienic and surgical hand disinfection and for skin disinfection, but also for device and surface disinfection
  • the disinfectant fluids are usually filled in different types of packaging, including bottles with a syringe insert and screw cap, especially for skin disinfection and for targeted application to swabs, as well as bottles with dosed or screwed-on dosing dispensers or pump spray heads, especially for hand and skin disinfection or for device and surface disinfection.
  • Refill packs in the form of bottles with screw caps for screwed-on dosing dispensers or soft plastic bags for use in dispensing devices, as is common for liquid soaps are ultimately compressed gas packs with a spray head, especially for device and surface disinfection Different types of packs make it swinging from one
  • Another mostly unfulfilled requirement is to choose the dimensions such that an average large human hand can be held so that the jet of disinfectant hits the middle of the hand.
  • the invention sets itself the task of meeting these requirements and improving the attachment of a dispensing head to the disinfectant bottle so that on the one hand a uniform delivery bottle (hand ice pack) all mentioned at the beginning Usage and dosing covers, on the other hand, the operation, especially in the hand disinfection, facilitated and thus the disinfection is made more reliable.
  • the intermediate piece has an essentially tubular shape and has a central channel for the passage of the liquid and with one on his one end internal thread can be screwed onto the external thread of the neck of the bottle and can be screwed into the internal thread of the dispensing head with an external thread located at the other end and has an annular flange on its outer jacket which forms an annular groove facing the bottle, so that the bottle is held in a holding member, preferably clamped, can be hooked on in this way, it is possible to use a bottle with a spike set and screw cap, for example, which is bought and stored in this form by the user, eg a doctor or a hospital.
  • the advantage of exact dosing is the advantage and a clean removal guaranteed
  • the intermediate piece also increases the distance between the dispensing head and the bottle construction and therefore makes manual gripping of the system easier and more reliable due to its much smaller diameter compared to the bottle belly.
  • the pump part of a metering dispenser can be convenient accommodate It is no problem in the assembled state to keep the distance between the bottle shoulder and the opening of the disinfection liquid so large that you could easily have a hand held in between so that the jet of disinfectant hits the middle of the hand.
  • the assembled system in the area is easily possible hold the intermediate piece with an average human hand and press down the dispenser with one thumb
  • the arrangement is such that the internal thread of the adapter has a smaller diameter than its external thread.
  • an inner flange is provided in the channel with a central opening, which forms a sealing stop for the front end of the neck of the bottle and is preferably designed as a sealing cone
  • the annular groove expediently has a substantially rectangular cross section, so that the intermediate piece, including the components carried by it (bottle and dispensing head), can be plugged onto a holding element of any kind, for example a hook, or can be hooked into such a holding element.
  • a particularly favorable embodiment for such a holding element is according to a development of the invention that the holding member has a bent after an annular portion of the insert which can be inserted and clamped into the annular groove and is carried by a handle that can be attached to a wall or a table or the like a dowel hole can be fixed as a wall bracket or by means of a hanger bolt with a commercially available screw clamp on the tubular frame of a bed, whereby the interposition of a piece of plastic tubing is recommended as protection against the sharp edge of the hanger bolt
  • the annular groove is preferably divided by a plurality of axially directed webs arranged at equal distances from one another, the insert part fitting between two webs in each case. These cross webs stabilize the insert part of the holding member and prevent lateral rotation when the bottle is in the suspended state Mount the assembled adapter and the dispensing head on the curved insert and, by turning it slightly, snap the insert into the ring groove between two bars.
  • An intermediate piece for a fastening of the type according to the invention is characterized in that it has an essentially tubular shape and is provided with a central channel which is continuous over the axial length of the intermediate piece and has a flange on its outer jacket which forms an annular groove, the open side of which in Direction of one end face of the intermediate piece is directed, the intermediate piece being provided with an internal thread in the area of this front end with an external thread in the area of the other end face.
  • Such an intermediate piece can be produced without problems at low cost, for example from molded plastic.
  • a preferred embodiment of the intermediate piece consists then that it has a basic body formed by a tube with a substantially constant diameter, the external thread being provided on the outer jacket of this tube and the internal thread on the inner jacket of this tube.
  • the threads can be integral with the material of the base body, for example also by shaping.
  • the customer receives a dosing dispenser with a mounted adapter together with a holding element in one set.
  • the customer orders additional, different types of holding elements or dispensing heads according to requirements.
  • two holding elements in the form of wall brackets can be installed in a hospital room and one additional holding element can be attached to one Mobile bed can be screwed on
  • Each holding member can be provided with the correspondingly mounted intermediate piece system and a single type of bottle is sufficient, which is attached to the corresponding holding member by means of the intermediate piece as required.
  • a bottle can be connected to a dosing dispenser for hand disinfection by means of the intermediate piece
  • Another bottle with a spray head for surface spray disinfection If a bottle is empty, the adapter is unscrewed, a standard pack of a bottle with screw cap and syringe insert is taken from the warehouse and screw cap and spray insert against one with the intermediate Replaced stuck as adapter dispenser system Since only a single retail pack is required, there are significant savings in warehous
  • FIG. 1 shows the disinfectant bottle, the intermediate piece, the dispensing head and the holding member in the pulled-apart state.
  • FIG. 2 shows these components in the assembled state following a wall.
  • FIG. 3 is an axial section through the intermediate piece, and
  • FIG. 4 shows one Front view of the same in the direction of arrow IV of FIG. 3
  • FIG. 5 is a side view of FIG. 3
  • FIGS. 6 7 and 8 show an exemplary embodiment of one Holding device in side view (partially in section) or in plan view or in oblique view
  • Fig. 1 shows a bottle 1 for receiving a disinfectant liquid, which bottle has an external thread 3 on its neck 2.
  • this bottle 1 is either by means of a plug inserted in its neck 2 or by means of a screw cap, which is screwed onto the external thread 3, tightly closed and a dispensing head, not shown, can be screwed onto the external thread 3 after removal of the closure cap or the plug, so that the bottle can be used in a conventional manner as a disinfectant dispenser after removal of the plug or
  • the screw cap can also be screwed onto the external thread 3 of the internal thread 4 of an intermediate piece 5 (FIGS. 3, 4, 5, 5).
