Definitions

the invention relates to a cream dispenser for dispensing liquid on the skin of a user, so for topical use.
Such dispensers are used in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical field.
Generic and inventive cream dispensers are usually formed as a tube dispenser and include in addition to the usually one-piece tube body and a thereto attached plastic discharge head with discharge.
the discharge head has to prevent dehydration and / or improvement on installation a hinged lid, which covers a discharge opening in the closed state.
the object of the invention is to provide a cost-producible cream dispenser available, which is characterized by haptic pleasant operation and use.
a cream dispenser for dispensing liquid on the skin of a user which has a liquid reservoir with an outlet nozzle and a discharge head with an outlet channel and a discharge opening at the end of the outlet channel.
the discharge head comprises an outlet valve with a valve pressure chamber, through the internal pressure of which the outlet valve can be opened.
a cream dispenser according to the invention is designed to dispense highly viscous liquids, ie creamy or gelatinous substances.
the liquid reservoir of a dispenser according to the invention is thus filled with such a liquid, which is purely cosmetic or purely pharmaceutical can act as effective liquids or a mixed form of cosmetic and pharmaceutical use.
the discharge head in particular comprises two components, namely an inner component and an outer component.
the outer component has an end wall which is penetrated by the outlet channel and in which the and discharge opening is provided.
the mecanicbauteit comprises a stretched in a main extension direction connecting piece for connection to the outer nozzle of the liquid reservoir. It also has a valve surface which is arranged opposite to an inlet of the outlet channel, wherein the valve surface and the inlet of the outlet channel together form the said outlet valve and are matched to one another such that the outlet valve is opened and closed relative to one another by relative displacement of the valve surface and the outlet channel can.
the inner component and the outer component are connected to form a valve pressure chamber along a circumferential mounting region on an inner side of a lateral surface of the outer component firmly and sealingly.
the inner component and the outer component thus jointly define a valve pressure chamber into which fluid from the fluid reservoir, in particular the tube, is forced.
the increasing pressure leads to a spacing of the opposing walls on the side of the inner component and the outer component and thus causes an opening of the valve.
the cream can now escape dosed through the discharge opening in the end wall. It thus particularly preferably reaches a flat outside of the end wall, from where it is applied to the skin of the user.
the said outer side is therefore preferably free from sharp edges, since this is perceived as unpleasant in skin contact.
the discharge head has a hinged lid, which covers the discharge opening in a closed state and which is provided on one side with a hinge and opposite thereto is formed with a first locking edge for closing fixing on the outer component.
the hinged lid is preferably a one-piece part of the outer component, whose substantially non-movable part together with the inner component forms a base of the discharge head and on which the hinged lid can be integrally molded as a movable part.
a release button At the non-movable part of the outer part of a release button is provided, which is provided with a second locking edge, which in the closed hinged lid with the first locking edge on the hinged lid latched and released by pressing the release button from this latch, so that the hinged lid can be opened.
the fastening area in which the inner component is fastened to the outer component is arranged at the level of the release button relative to the main extension direction, so that the release button is displaced in the direction of the fastening area during the actuation.
the Eindschiana the release button is defined limited. This is inventively achieved in that the release button is displaced in the direction of the mounting area. This region of the discharge head has a high stability, since in it the inner component and the outer component are connected to each other. As such, the mechanical coupling means stiffen this area. In addition, the construction of the inner component and its choice of materials can ensure a particularly stable construction here.
the release button is thus limited depressible until it is pressed against the stable mounting area and not further displaced. This clear limitation of mobility is perceived as pleasant to the touch and reduces the risk of the release button being accidentally broken off.
the outer component and the inner component are preferably tightly connected by a snap connection.
One of the components, in particular the outer component, for this purpose has a circumferential groove into which a circumferential web of the other component, in particular an outer edge of the inner component, is snapped tightly and firmly.
the inner component preferably has a ring section which extends transversely to the main extension direction and whose outer circumference is firmly and tightly connected to the outer component in the fastening region.
This ring portion has a radial direction of extension, which is directed opposite to the force acting on the release button Eindrückkraft and thus has a particularly good stiffening effect.
the outer component is preferably made of rather soft plastic, since this is advantageous for the function of the joint, for the deformability of the release button and for the perceived as pleasant resilience of the end wall.
the inner member may be made of a more rigid and less elastic material than the outer member. This facilitates assembly and at the same time favors the rigidity of the attachment area.
the inner component at least in the region of its annular portion, has a greater wall thickness than an end wall of the outer component delimiting the valve pressure chamber together with the inner component. This also favors the resilience of the end wall and the rigidity of the attachment area.
the inner component preferably has a substantially planar surface section, from which the connecting piece rises on one side and whose outer region forms the said annular section.
the surface portion is preferably provided on the inside of the connecting piece with the valve surface and at least one liquid breakthrough.
the inner component thus preferably has a basically planar shape, from which only the connecting piece and possibly a structure which forms the valve surface of the inner component rises.
the release button can in particular be designed as a one-sided elastically formed on the outer component release tongue, at the distal end of the locking edge is provided.
the release button is separated by a slot from the surrounding outer surface of the Au .bauteils. This separation through a slot with only one-sided connection of the release button to an at least partially surrounding jacket wall allows smooth impressions. Canceling the release button is nevertheless not to be feared due to the stop in the mounting area.
the hinged lid is preferably shaped or provided with such a hinge that it is in the closed state under bias and automatically springs up when pressure on the release button.
a pretensioning is advantageous since the release button alone is sufficient to bring the dispenser into a ready-to-discharge state without the hinged lid having to be manually moved to its end position, in particular preferably pivoted through 180 °.
the bias is still advantageous because it keeps the latching connection between hinged lid and release button under tension. Despite the intended ease of the release button as such, an unintentional depression of the release button is thus prevented.
the joint for connecting the hinged lid is preferably such that it is under tension in the closed state, which relaxes in the course of opening.
the hinged lid may have a covering surface which covers the end wall of the outer component and which is arched in the direction of the discharge opening and thereby bears against the discharge opening in the closed state in a biasing manner against the end wall.
the said cover surface has for this purpose a size which preferably exceeds that of the end wall.
the cover surface is preferably free of additional structures such as elevations or depressions and thus deviates only by the curvature in the direction of the discharge from a completely flat shape. The inside is thus easily rid of liquid residues.
the cover surface is preferably adjoined by a circumferential lateral surface on which the joint and the hinged lid-side latching edge are provided.
the attachment region which in the above-mentioned manner favors the stability of the discharge head, is formed relative to the main extension direction by the region in which the inner component and the inner side of the outer component abut each other and thereby create a tight and fluid-tight connection.
the release button preferably extends on both sides of this attachment region with respect to the main extension direction, ie, as it were, coming out of the direction of the fluid reservoir beyond the attachment region.
the end of the release button facing away from the liquid storage and / or the latching edge on the release button extend only to the attachment region, but not beyond.
a second aspect of the invention relates to the attachment of the hinged lid to the base of the discharge head.
all the above-mentioned measures can be additionally provided in isolation from one another.
a cream dispenser both aspects of the invention are realized together.
a cream dispenser for dispensing liquid on the skin of a user having a fluid reservoir with an outlet port and a dispensing head having an outlet channel and an outlet opening at the end of the outlet channel.
the discharge head has a substantially immovable base, except for minimal movements for opening a valve or for pressing in the release button, which has a connecting piece extending in a main extension direction for connection to the liquid store and which furthermore has an end wall which is penetrated by the outlet channel and in which the discharge opening is provided.
the outside of the end wall can be used in the manner already mentioned above, that first there is a liquid discharge there and the liquid is then applied from there to the skin of the user.
the formation of the discharge head with inner component and outer component is not important in this aspect of the invention. Nevertheless, the said base is preferably also composed of these two parts.
the discharge head according to the second aspect also has a hinged lid, which covers the discharge opening and the end wall in a closed state and which is articulated by means of a hinge pivotally mounted on the base.
a hinge pivotally mounted on the base At the base and on the hinged lid opposite cooperating locking edges are provided, by means of which the hinged lid can be locked in the closed state at the base.
the latching edge and the hinge relative to the main extension direction are arranged offset to one another at the base, so that the latching device on the hinged lid in the fully swung-open state relative to the main extension direction is further away from the discharge opening than in the closed state of the hinged lid.
the hinged lid which may have all the aspects described above in connection with the first aspect of the invention, is preferably pivotable about 180 ° (+/- 20 °) between the closed position and the maximum pivoted position. Its peculiarity lies in particular in that the joint and in particular the pivot axis defined by the joint, on the one hand, and the latching edge for latching to the base, on the other hand, are offset relative to one another with respect to the main extension direction.
This offset causes the latching edge of the hinged lid is folded back when opened hinged lid particularly far from an end wall of the base. This is for a pleasant use of advantage, since cream, which was initially discharged on the end wall of the base, can be applied from here on the skin of a user and the risk is reduced that accidentally the comparatively sharp locking edge of the lid in Skin contact arrives.
the latching device on the base and the hinge are arranged offset relative to one another with respect to the main extension direction by at least 3 mm, preferably by at least 5 mm.
the widest possible spacing of the lid-side locking edge of the plane of the end wall of the base in the unfolded state, the joint and the pivot axis defined thereby are arranged possible close to the liquid storage relative to the main extension direction.
the distance up to a pointing in this direction end of a lateral surface of the discharge head is preferably 5 mm or less.
the latching edge of the base is as far as possible with respect to the main extension direction away from the liquid storage. It is considered advantageous if the latching edge is only slightly, in particular set back by less than 3 mm, relative to the outer surface of the end wall.
the distance should be as far as possible not less than 1 mm, so that the locking edge of the base when applying cream on the skin does not come into skin contact.
a bearing edge is provided on both sides on the outer side of the outer component, on which, in the closed state, a peripheral lateral surface of the hinged lid rests.
the support edges are formed as steadily rising from the joint to the locking device edges.
the figures illustrate the structure of a cream dispenser according to the invention.
Fig. 1 shows the cream dispenser 10 in the delivery state.
the cream dispenser 10 comprises a liquid reservoir 12, which in the present case is designed as a tube and is thus provided for actuation by manual pressurization of the outer surfaces.
a displaceable piston which is inserted end into the liquid storage to promote liquid from this.
a discharge head 20 is attached, for example by means of a threaded connection or a snap connection.
the discharge head has a base, which remains essentially immobile to the liquid storage in operation, and a hinged lid 60, which covers a discharge opening 44 in the closed state and can be unlocked and opened by means of a release button 48.
Fig. 2 shows the individual components of the cream dispenser 10.
the liquid storage 12 is in the state of Fig. 2 still in the unfilled state and is therefore not yet closed at its lower end opposite an outlet 14.
the discharge head 20 has two components 30, 40, namely an inner member 30 and an outer member 40.
the inner member is formed with thicker walls and / or stiffer material and forms the less deformable of the two components 30, 40th
the inner member 30 is fixedly connected to the outer member 40 in the assembled state. It also has a connecting piece 32, which is designed for coupling to the outlet port 14 of the liquid reservoir 12 by means of said threaded connection or a snap connection.
Fig. 3 and 3A show the discharge head 20 in the ready to use, open state.
the outer component 40 has a jacket wall 46, to which an end wall 49 adjoins the end face.
This end wall 49 is penetrated by the outlet channel 42, which opens into the discharge opening 44.
Said end wall 49 is formed on the outside almost flat and only slightly concave. The outside is on the outside free of elevations or depressions, so that hereby previously discharged on the front wall cream from here can be applied to the skin.
the jacket wall 46 is provided in the region of the release button with a slot 47 which separates the release button 48 laterally and upwardly from the surrounding wall and thus allows a free movement of the release button 48.
the inner component 30 is connected to the outer component 40 for common formation of a valve pressure chamber 52.
an outer edge in the region of the outer circumference 36A of a ring section 36 of the inner component 30 is latched into a groove on the inner side of the outer wall of the outer component 40.
This contact region forms the fastening region 46A in the sense of the invention.
the connection of the outer component 40 and the inner component 30 in the fastening region 46A is intended to be insoluble and dense. Liquid which passes from the liquid reservoir through liquid openings 33 in the inner component 30 into the valve pressure chamber 52 can thus escape only through the discharge opening 44.
the outlet channel 42 which penetrates the end wall 49, as well as a valve surface 34 on a cone-shaped elevation, which is provided centrally on the inner component 30, form a common Exhaust valve 50, which is closed by the slightly biased shape of the end wall 49 in the idle state. If liquid in the liquid reservoir 12 is pressurized, in particular by squeezing the tube, the liquid is pressurized into the valve pressure chamber 52 and leads to a deformation of the end wall 49 to the outside. The outlet valve 50 is thereby opened and the liquid can reach the outside of the end wall 49. If a sufficient amount of liquid is discharged onto the end wall 49, the application to the skin can take place directly from there.
the discharge head 20 has a hinged lid 60.
This is formed in the design described here as an integral part of the outer component and connected thereto by means of an integrally formed joint 62 in the manner of a film hinge thereto.
a multi-part design is possible.
the hinged lid 60 has a slightly concave curved cover surface 64, the inside of which is larger than the end wall 49 of the discharge head.
the inside is surrounded by an approximately cylindrical lateral surface and has on the inside thereof no on the curved basic shape beyond surveys. This results in cremer residues being easily removed here.
the already described release button 48 is provided.
the in Fig. 4 is shown, a latching edge 48A at the distal, upper end of the release button with a corresponding locking edge 66 on the hinged lid 60 is locked. Since the lid is under pretensioning in the region of its covering surface 64, the locking in the closed state is quite firm and unintentional pressing in of the release button 48 and opening of the hinged lid is not to be feared. Nevertheless, this manual and voluntary operation in a simple and haptic pleasant way possible.
the release button 48 is cut free on three sides and thus can be easily pressed. Too much pressing the release button 48 is avoided by this in the in Fig. 3A by dashed lines on the outside of the mounting portion 46A strikes.
the hinged lid pops up.
the bias in the region of the cover surface 64 and by a suitable prestressed design of the joint can be achieved in the ideal case that alone by pressing the release button the opened state of Fig. 3 is achieved, in which the hinged lid is pivoted about 180 °.
Fig. 3 illustrates the relative arrangement of the locking edges 48A, 66 on the one hand and the joint 62 on the other. Relative to the main extension direction 2 and the closed state, the joint 62 is significantly closer to the liquid reservoir 12, in the perspective of the Fig. 3
the offset which in the present case is about 6 mm in relation to the main direction of extent, causes the latching edge 66 more than twice as far, in the present case about 13 mm, from the plane of FIG Outside the end wall 49 is spaced.
