Definitions

  • the invention relates to a brush, in particular a toothbrush one end can be attached to a container with a metering pump and a brush-container combination with such a brush and a container with a dosing pump.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object, a brush and a Brush-container combination to provide the Avoid disadvantages mentioned largely.
  • the invention takes advantage of the fact that the brush, especially a toothbrush, a relatively long lever arm is made with which the pumping movement relative to the container can be carried out, through the contact surface on the brush the dosing pump on the container is operated.
  • a relatively long lever arm on the brush is the force required to perform the Pumping motion significantly reduced and when the point of attack on at the extreme end of the brush, there is also a relatively long one Force path available, which enables exact dosing.
  • the present invention is not on toothbrushes and toothpaste container is limited, but also for any other purpose can be used, only for example e.g. Brushes for applying shoe polish or small brushes for applying mascara are mentioned. It it is understood that instead of the brush head, as e.g. at Toothbrushes are used, as well as any other equipment to apply the liquid or pasty agent, e.g. Sponges or spatula-shaped devices can be used.
  • a toothbrush 18 is shown in longitudinal section, which at one end has a brush head 17 and a shaft of Toothbrush 18 penetrating in the longitudinal direction and in the area of Brush head 17 opening channel 11.
  • the container 1 instructs its end associated with the toothbrush 18 has a neck 14 with a Dispensing opening 5.
  • the neck 14 is on its outer circumference provided with a thread 21.
  • the toothbrush 18 has an extension of the channel 11 at the end 9 a neck 14 shaped accordingly Recess and an internal thread and can therefore on the neck 14th be screwed on.
  • Such a screw connection enables easy attachment and detachment of the toothbrush 18 to the container 1, so that the container 1 or the toothbrush 18 easily if necessary can be exchanged.
  • Toothbrush 18 and the container 1 are separated again are other forms of connection, such as a bounce connection or bonding toothbrush 18 and container 1 conceivable.
  • the container 1 has a Diaphragm pump on a dome 13 on which the neck 14 is arranged, and a partition 4 spaced from the dome 13 is formed.
  • the dome 13 connects to an approximately cylindrical wall 22 of the cylindrical container 1 and is elastically deformable executed so that it is pumped with the help of the toothbrush 18 can be deformed elastically, as in the following will be described.
  • the partition 4 divides the interior in the container 1 into one Pump room 12 between dome 13 and partition 4 and a storage room 7 between partition 4 and one not shown in the drawing Bottom of the container 1.
  • a valve arranged only in the direction from the storage space 7 to the pump space 12 can be flowed through.
  • the toothbrush 18 has a contact surface 23 which in the region of the end 9 and on the same side as the brush head 17 arranged on the toothbrush 18 is.
  • the dome 13 deforms in the area of Neck 14 elastic and the contact surface 23 also presses the Dome 13 to the inside, so that the pump chamber 12 is reduced. Since that Toothpaste does not flow through valve 10 to storage space 7 can, but at the start of the pumping movement immediately in the direction of the arrow 6 closes, toothpaste through the dispensing opening 5 and the channel 11 is pumped in the direction of the arrow 19 to the brush head 17.
  • Valve 16 e.g. be provided in the form of a rubber plate, the itself after the end of the squeezing process or after cleaning the Brush head 17 seals against the outlet opening 15 and this closes.
  • the valve 16 can also a reliable pump function can be guaranteed so that Means can not flow back in channel 11.
  • a diaphragm pump can of course also have any other shape a dosing pump, e.g. a piston pump can be used, whereby the piston would be actuated by the contact surface 23.
  • a dosing pump e.g. a piston pump can be used, whereby the piston would be actuated by the contact surface 23.
  • the toothbrush 18 has in the area of its end 9 on a conical widening 24, the its side facing the container 1 forms a support surface 25.
  • the dome 13 is in the area of the transition 26 from the wall 24
  • Corresponding support surface 27 provided with the support surface 25 cooperates on the toothbrush 18. Since the cathedral 13 in the area of Transition 26 has a high resistance to deformation prevents the toothbrush 18 from being used against the direction of the arrow 20 is pivoted. Since the support surface 27 on the dome 13 is rotationally symmetrical and the support surface 25 is also rotationally symmetrical and is only interrupted by the contact surface 23, the toothbrush 18 is also good on the side next to the support surface 23 supported so that a lateral tilting or pivoting of the Toothbrush 18 is avoided.
  • the toothbrush 18 it would also be conceivable for the toothbrush 18 to be designed in this way is that no separately provided contact surface during the Pump movement is present at the dome 13, since it is already elastic Deform the dome 13 in the area around the neck 14 during the Pump movement a pumping action occurs.
  • the Connection surface between the end 9 of the toothbrush 18 and the neck 14 in the form of the thread 21 represents the contact surface, wherein also in in this case the pivotability of the toothbrush 18 according to the invention relative to container 1, i.e. the use of the toothbrush 18 as Pump lever, is realized.
  • the toothbrush 18 has a joint is connected to the container 1 so that the container 1 through the Pivotal movement of the toothbrush 18 is not elastically deformed and a pump, e.g. a piston pump or Diaphragm pump is operated.
  • a pump e.g. a piston pump or Diaphragm pump
  • the bottom of the container is ideally a sliding on the inner surface 27 of the container wall 22 Part by suitably shaped ribs on the inner surface 27 and / or claws on the floor only in the direction of arrow 8 to partition 4 is movable towards, whereas a movement in the other direction the ribs and / or claws is prevented, and by suction of toothpaste from the storage space 7 into the pump space 12 automatically is tightened.
  • the canal may have problems pumping toothpaste for the first time 11 are at least partially filled by pressing on the floor, until the backflow resistance in channel 11 becomes so great until toothpaste is sucked through the valve 10 into the pump chamber 12.
