Definitions

  • the invention relates to a two-component dispenser for a mixture of two fluids, which in a first operating position of the two-component dispenser separately from one another are stored according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such two-component dispensers are used to process e.g. Hair dye
  • the two Components include, namely a liquid or pasty color component and a pasty or liquid oxidizing agent such as hydrogen peroxide.
  • a liquid or pasty color component and a pasty or liquid oxidizing agent such as hydrogen peroxide.
  • a pasty or liquid oxidizing agent such as hydrogen peroxide.
  • two-component dispensers are not restricted to this area of application. benefits offer these donors whenever a mixture of different substances does not come from Manufacturer can be provided ready for use, e.g. the substances tend to react with each other in an undesirable manner during longer storage times, so that the ready-to-use mixture should only be provided shortly before use.
  • EP-A-0 882 147 proposes to seal the sealing element by means of a plunger Axial force exerted by a sealing cap part from the sealing relationship with Move the connecting passage out to touch the two active components bring together.
  • DE-A-198 46 836 the axial Movement of a cap part when screwing onto a neck of the dispenser exploited to exert an axial force on the sealing element.
  • a Generic two-component dispenser according to DE-A-44 09 696 is in one of the Fluid chambers an actuator is provided which a radial contraction undergoes axial extension to cause axial movement of a tool with which a barrier film can be severed between the fluid chambers.
  • the radial contraction is triggered by an external force exerted on an elastic wall of the dispenser, the leads to a deformation of the dispenser wall, which is transferred to the actuating element.
  • Common to the well-known two-component dispensers is the risk of premature Mixing of fluids due to improper use during transportation or Warehousing consists of the triggering elements for the release of the connecting passage are permanently held in an activatable position between the fluid chambers. in addition comes that the consumer can often not determine whether the funds for mutual sealing of the fluid chambers before use in a proper Condition or possibly an undesirable premature mixing of the fluids has taken place.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of a two-component dispenser generic type in terms of its reliability of use up to Improve intended use by prematurely accidentally mixing the Fluids should be avoided.
  • this is the two-component dispenser Actuator with which a sealing element from a sealing relationship to a Connection passage between the two fluid chambers can not be moved held in place in one of the fluid chambers, but can be rotated about an axis. ever after the rotary position, the actuating element is in an operative position, in which the Sealing element a force can be exerted, or in an ineffective position which the sealing element remains in its sealing relationship with the connecting passage, even if during transport, storage or unauthorized use of the Donors should act on this an external force, which is in the operative position of the Actuating element would cause the sealing element from the sealing Relationship to the connecting passage.
  • the rotation of the Actuator between the inactive and ineffective position is by a to Pouring opening of the dispenser cap part triggered by this with the Actuator is non-rotatably coupled.
  • This can be particularly advantageous Cap part by means of a tamper-evident anti-twist device against unintentional twisting relative be secured to the donor part. In this way, the user has the option of doing without Furthermore, to be able to get a picture of the proper condition of the donor when buying.
  • the rotation lock further ensures that the actuating element is ineffective Position remains as long as tamper-evident is intact. This makes it much easier Handling of the dispenser from filling to use by the consumer. in the The rest of the claims regarding advantageous developments of the invention directed.
  • the two-component dispenser according to the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1-3

  • the two-component dispenser further comprises one second dispenser part 3, in the present case in the form of a container with a smaller volume is formed, the second fluid chamber 4 for receiving and storing a second Fluids defined.
  • the first and second dispenser parts 1, 3 can be made of the same or both molded parts different plastic materials.
  • the second donor part 3 can also be made of a suitable other material, such as glass, metal or the like., Because it is different from that first donor part 1 does not need to have a peripheral wall, under the action of a external force is deformable, which will be discussed in more detail below.
  • the first and second dispenser parts 1, 3 each have tubular neck sections 6, 8, which on their outer circumference carry screw threads and are aligned axially to each other.
  • a tubular sleeve 10 has on its inner circumference to the screw threads of the Neck sections 6, 8 complementary screw thread, so that the tubular Neck sections 6, 8 from opposite axial ends of the cuff 10 into this can be screwed to the dispenser parts 1, 3 in an axial alignment with each other to position.
  • a sealing element 16 is frictionally engaged on the part of the second dispenser part 3 facing side of the partition 14 used to To close the opening in the partition 14. From an opposite side of the Sealing element 16 projects axially from a tubular receptacle 17 into which a peg-shaped Element 18 can engage on an actuating element 19.
  • the sealing element 16 seals one of the neck portion 6 of the first dispenser part 1 surrounding area 12 opposite one of the neck portion 8 of the second donor part 3 surrounding area 13 of a fluid passage axially aligned with area 12, cf. Fig. 2, between the fluid chambers 2, 4.
  • the actuating element 19 is provided in the fluid chamber 2 of the first dispenser part 1 and in Form a double toggle arrangement.
  • a double toggle arrangement could also be a single toggle arrangement or other suitable arcuate arrangement can be provided, which causes a reduction in radial Dimensions results in a proportional increase in the axial dimensions.
  • the Toggle assembly 19 includes a first pair Toggle levers 20, 21 and a second pair of toggle levers 20 ', 21'. Each pair of toggle levers 20, 21 and 20 ', 21 'forms a triangle together with the central longitudinal axis M of the two-component dispenser.
  • the toggle levers 20, 21 and 20 ', 21' are on the radially outer side with respect to the central longitudinal axis M articulated vertices of the triangle, as indicated at 23 or 23 ', connected with each other. There are also adjacent toggle levers 20, 20 'and 21, 21' of Pairings, as indicated at 24 or 24 ', at axially spaced locations on the Center longitudinal axis M in an articulated connection with one another, so that the toggle levers 20, 20 ', 21, 21' one Trapezoid with a pair of radially spaced articulations 23, 23 'and a pair axially form spaced joint points 24, 24 '.
  • the axial distance between the articulation points 24, 24 ' increases when the radial section of the articulation points 23, 23 'is reduced. Conversely, an increase in the radial distance between the articulation points 23, 23 'causes one Shortening the axial distance between the articulation points 24, 24 '.
  • the pin element 18 is at the axial hinge point facing the sealing element 16 24 'connected, while at the other axial joint 24 a coupling element 25 is connected, which will be discussed in more detail below.
  • a further sealing element 26 can be provided be seated in an opening in a further partition 27 in a frictionally sealing manner and together with the sealing member 16 from the sealing relationship with the opening can be brought out, as shown in Fig. 2.
  • the further partition 27 spans the area 13 of the fluid passage at a close distance from the partition 14 and can be integrally formed on an insert molding 28 which is between the tubular neck portions 6, 8 of the dispenser parts 1, 3 fixed and surrounded by the sleeve 10 on the outside.
  • the toggle lever arrangement 19 can be of the type shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 Active position in which the radial articulation points 23, 23 'engage the deformable wall 5 can be brought into an ineffective position in which an engagement with the deformable wall 5 can not take place. In the ineffective position of the Therefore, toggle lever arrangement 19 cannot exert any external force on the deformable wall 5 be exercised.
  • the movement of the toggle lever arrangement 19 from the active to the ineffective Position is determined by a rotary movement of the toggle lever arrangement 19 about the central longitudinal axis M causes, as indicated by the arrows P in Fig. 3.
  • the deformable wall 5 has, as in 3 is shown, at least near the radial plane, in which the radial articulation points 23, 23 ' are arranged, a transverse section configuration, which is characterized by a shorter central transverse axis X-X ' and a longer central transverse axis Y-Y '.
