Definitions

• the invention relates to a bangle with an annular jacket and with a liquid tank.
• Bracelets are generally worn by women as jewelry on their wrists. Such bracelets are known in different quality, from different materials and in different sizes.
• a bangle is known as a container for liquids with an atomizer and a hinge.
• the bangle consists of two parts, one part of the bangle has a cavity which is filled with perfume or another liquid.
• the two parts of the bangle are connected by a hinge.
• the liquid contained in part of the bangle can be dispensed using an atomizer.
• a slidable cover ring is provided in this case, which also serves to connect the two parts of the bangle each other.
• the bangle known from WO 99/32007 is complex to manufacture and particularly difficult to use due to the cover ring. Another problem is to reliably seal the cavity of the part that is intended to be filled with the liquid. It is also problematic to ensure that the brought in Liquid (perfume) does not attack the material of the bangle.
• a bangle which is composed of two sections.
• the sections together form a complete circle.
• the sections each consist of a curved flat material.
• One of the two sections has protrusions on the back.
• a liquid tank is inserted between the projections and the back of the bent flat material.
• the liquid tank has a spray head that must be operated from the rear of the sections. So that the spray head can be operated, it must be exposed according to GB 2 235 861 A on the back of the bent material.
• the look of the bangle is thus adversely affected.
• the wearer of the bangle comes into contact with the spray head again and again. On the one hand, this can be perceived as unpleasant, on the other hand, an accidental actuation of the spray head cannot be reliably prevented.
• Another disadvantage of the bangle known from GB 2 235 861 A is that it is complex to manufacture. In order to improve the visual impression of the bangle, it is provided that the two sections are enclosed by an outer ring. Although this can be used to beautify the immediately visible surface of the bangle, wrapping the back of the sections is not possible and also not provided, since otherwise the spray head would no longer be operable. The spray head thus continues to come into contact with the wearer and is at least visible to attentive observers. Can be seen also the back of the sections, which, among other things, gives the bangle an unfavorable look due to the projections that are intended to fix the liquid tank. The bangle is therefore difficult to use as a beautiful ornament.
• the present invention is therefore based on the object of creating a bangle which can be used for spraying liquids, the bangle meeting both qualitative and optical requirements, ensuring an advantageous absorption of the liquid to be sprayed and being easy to use.
• the liquid tank By designing the ring-shaped jacket of the bangle from two curved tubes, one tube being designed to hold the liquid tank, the liquid tank can be easily received or connected to the ring-shaped jacket.
• the formation of a separate liquid tank enables the bent tubes to be made of any material. There is no fear of damage or corrosion of the pipes by the liquid intended for spraying, since the liquid is housed in a separate liquid tank.
• Another advantage of designing a separate liquid tank is that it can be changed quickly and easily, making it possible to use the bangle to spray different perfumes. This is practically not possible without a separate liquid tank, since on the one hand emptying the flow liquid from the bangle is complex and on the other hand it will be difficult to prevent that a residual liquid remains in the bangle.
• the formation of the bangle from two curved tubes gives the bangle a uniform appearance.
• the back or underside of the bangle i.e. the side facing the wearer does not destroy the overall impression since the underside of the bangle is made of the same material as the top. Wearing the bangle is comfortable for the wearer, since the bangle is also formed on the underside from the bent tube and thus has no projections, edges, corners and the like.
• the bangle according to the invention is simple and inexpensive to manufacture.
• Both bent pipes can be produced in a simple manner from unbent pipes, for example by bending the unbent pipes around a mandrel.
• Various methods for bending pipes are known from the general prior art.
• the formation of projections and the like in order to fix the liquid tank, as is provided in GB 2 235 861 A, can be omitted, where through a particularly inexpensive and simple production.
• the two bent tubes can consist of any base material that can be silver-plated, gold-plated, rudinated or refined in some other way.
• the bent tubes can be made of metal, plastic or any other material that enables a tubular design.
• the tube walls of the tubes have an oval contour when viewed in cross section.
• an oval contour of the tubes gives the entire bangle a light and flat overall impression. Due to the contour deviating from a round contour, the liquid tank can moreover be fixed in a simple manner against rotation in the pipe provided for this purpose. This also fixes the position of the spray opening of the spray head. Due to the oval contour of the pipe wall, it is also particularly easy and gentle on the material to provide unbent pipes with the intended radius.
• an oval or a configuration of the spray head that deviates from a circular shape enables the spray head to be fixed easily and reliably if the region of the tube end of the tube provided for receiving the spray head has an adapted shape.
• the Area of the pipe end of the pipe provided for receiving the spray head has an outlet opening which is flush with the spray opening of the spray head. Due to the oval or deviating from a circular shape of the tube / spray head, the spray opening is fixed against rotation with the outlet opening.
• the tube provided for receiving the spray head has a projection, stop or the like in the interior, which serves to abut an actuating surface of the spray head.
• the spray function can thus be actuated or triggered in a simple manner by slightly compressing the bangle or the two adjoining tube ends, in the area of which the spray head is arranged. It is provided that the spray opening of the spray head is aligned with the outlet opening when the actuating surface of the spray head rests against the stop of the tube. Reliable spraying of the liquid contained in the liquid tank is thus possible.
• the tube for receiving the spray head has an opening widening for receiving the spray head in the region of the tube end.
• the spray head can be accommodated in a simple manner by the opening widening or the enlarged diameter.
• the outer contour of the spray head can essentially correspond to the outer contour of the tube into which the liquid tank is inserted.
• the spray head can be reliably encompassed or enclosed in a simple manner.
• the enlarged diameter also makes it possible in a simple manner that the two pipe ends aligned with one another in this area can be displaced relative to one another, so that the spray or pump function of the spray head can be triggered.
• the opening widening of the pipe end provided for receiving the spray head can be displaced essentially parallel to the outer contour of the other pipe.
• a shift of a few millimeters is sufficient to trigger the spray function.
• the recesses are designed in such a way that the projections or the latching points can be displaced along the recess at least within the intended actuation path of the spray head.

• the hinge 4 it enables, as shown in FIG. 6, the opening of the bangle or the pivoting apart of the two tubes 2, 3 at the tube ends 2a, 3a facing away from the hinge 4.
• the bangle is essentially formed from two bent tubes 2, 3, but this does not rule out that these tubes 2, 3 are not composed of several tube pieces.
• Such an embodiment is also to be understood according to the invention as being formed from essentially two bent tubes 2, 3.

Accordingly, the height of the tubes 2, 3 - apart from possible changes in shape due to the bending process of the tubes 2, 3 - corresponds to the difference between the radius of the outside and the radius of the inside of the bangle.
