Definitions

  • the invention relates to an adapter for a product dispenser and a product dispenser for dispensing a medium.
  • a product dispenser for dispensing a medium comprises a valve which closes a container opening of a pressure container for receiving a medium to be dispensed.
  • an adapter which has an actuating lever for controlling the valve.
  • the actuating lever is attached to the adapter via a swivel arrangement, the actuating lever being transferable from an initial position in which the valve is closed by a swivel movement into an active position in which the valve is actuated to dispense the medium.
  • This product dispenser for dispensing a medium from a pressure vessel is known.
  • This product dispenser comprises an actuating lever with a handle arranged thereon, which is positioned to rotate about a longitudinal axis of the valve dispensing opening. Due to the rotating arrangement of the pivot lever around the longitudinal axis of the valve dispensing opening, a product discharge rate can be set continuously between a maximum rate and a minimum rate.
  • the actuating lever can be pivoted towards the pressure vessel in order to dispense the valve into an active position for dispensing the medium depending on the set exit rate.
  • a product dispenser for dispensing a medium from a pressure vessel comprises a dispensing valve with an actuating handle arranged thereon.
  • the actuating handle can be pressed, the valve dispensing opening, which is connected to an annular connecting section via a web, being actuated by a pivoting movement.
  • an adapter for a product dispenser comprises an adapter base body for positioning the adapter on a container opening of a pressure vessel as well as an output sleeve which can be moved relative to the adapter base body.
  • the dispensing sleeve is arranged displaceably by means of an elastic connection to the adapter base body, the displacement movement being effected by the application of a pressure surface outside the longitudinal axis of a valve.
  • the invention is based on the object of proposing an adapter for a product dispenser with an adapter base body for positioning the adapter on a container opening of a pressure container, which adapter enables simple actuation for dispensing a medium from the pressure container.
  • an adapter for a product dispenser in which the dispensing sleeve is slidably connected to the adapter base body with an elastic connection.
  • the elastic connection between the dispensing sleeve and the adapter base body is designed as an annular or disk-shaped membrane which extends in between.
  • the dispensing sleeve is self-retaining in a starting position relative to the adapter base body and the dispensing sleeve can be transferred into an active position at least partially along the longitudinal direction of the adapter base body by applying force.
  • This has the advantage that a medium can only be dispensed from the pressure vessel when the Adapter is enabled and the starting position of the adapter assumes an NC position (normally closed position). This can prevent the medium from being inadvertently ejected.
  • the elastic connection has the advantage that when moving from the starting position to the active position, a restoring force is built up, so that after a medium has been dispensed and the force applied to the dispensing sleeve is released, the dispensing sleeve is automatically reset to the starting position.
  • the adapter base body preferably comprises a flange aligned coaxially to the longitudinal axis, an end face extending between the flange and the dispensing sleeve, which is inclined relative to the longitudinal axis and the elastic connection is provided between the end face and the dispensing sleeve.
  • a fastening section is preferably provided within the flange of the adapter base body, which extends at least in sections along the flange and can be fastened to an edge of the pressure vessel by means of a latching and / or snap connection. Simply placing and pressing the adapter base body on the edge of the pressure vessel is sufficient to secure it. This enables quick assembly.
  • the fastening section on the flange of the adapter base body preferably has a plurality of spaced apart webs that form a U-shaped engagement area with the circumferential flange, through which the fastening section engages the edge of the container base body in a form-fitting manner.
  • the fastening section can be configured inexpensively.
  • a connection is provided in the mounting direction on the pressure vessel, which connector engages a valve of the pressure vessel. A reduction in the number of components can thereby be achieved.
  • the outlet sleeve of the adapter has a receptacle for a grommet opposite the connection. This can be screwed on interchangeably.
  • At least the adapter base body, the dispensing sleeve and the elastic connection are formed in one piece. This reduces manufacturing costs and simplifies assembly work.
  • the adapter base body, the dispensing sleeve and the elastic connection are preferably produced as a plastic injection-molded part.
  • the adapter can be made from a thermoplastic elastomer, in particular polypropylene, polyethylene or the like.
  • FIG 1 a product dispenser 11 is shown in an exploded view.
  • a pressure vessel 12 adopts a vessel opening 14, which is opened by a valve 16 ( Figure 3 ) is closed, an adapter 18 on.
  • This adapter 18 comprises an adapter base body 19 which can be placed on the container opening 14 and an actuating lever 21 with a handle 22 which is connected to the adapter base body 19 by a pivot arrangement 23.
  • the adapter base body 19 has an output sleeve 25, onto which a grommet 26 can be fastened, in particular screwed on. This allows the grommet 26 to be replaced.
  • a closure 27 is provided at one end of the spout 26 in order to prevent the medium in the spout 26 from drying out.
  • a cap 29 is provided which essentially surrounds the adapter 18.

  • This tamper-evident closure 32 is positioned in the recess 31 by several web-shaped connections 33.
  • the tamper-evident closure 32 can be released at at least two web-shaped connections 32 to the recess 31, so that the quality closure remains loose and / or pivotable in the recess 31.
  • the web-shaped connections 33 form a predetermined breaking point.
  • the recess 30 can facilitate the release of the tamper-evident closure 32 in that a tool can be inserted. If the tamper-evident closure 32 is missing, the user can clearly see that the product dispenser 11 has already been opened or used.
  • FIG. 11 is a schematic sectional view of the product dispenser 11 in FIG Figure 2 shown.
  • the Figure 4 shows a further sectional view rotated by 90 ° Figure 3 .
  • a valve 16, which closes the container opening 14, is attached to a container opening 14 of the pressure container 12.

  • the valve 16 comprises a valve closing member 37 which is movable along a longitudinal axis 38 of the valve 16 or the longitudinal axis 38 of the adapter base body 19. To open the valve closing member 37, it is moved in the direction of the pressure vessel 12 against a restoring element 39, in particular a spring, in order to open a valve opening 41.
