Definitions

  • the invention relates to a dispenser with a housing for replaceable refills of flowable products which can be inserted upside down in a receptacle in the housing.
  • dispensers are suitable, for example, for dispensing cleaning agents, care products, disinfectants or the like in a metered manner.
  • Fluids in particular, possibly also free-flowing or pasty media, are suitable as flowable products.
  • a dispensing system with such a dispenser is for example in the WO 2015/089531 described by the applicant.
  • the dispenser has a housing with an openable cover, in the lower region of which an intermediate container provided with an inlet opening and a metering pump dispensing the product from the intermediate container are arranged.
  • On the upper side of the intermediate container guide elements are provided on both sides of the inlet opening, which allow a correspondingly designed refill to be inserted.
  • the refill suitable for this has a base element on which a connector provided with a sliding closure is provided, which carries corresponding sliding guide elements.
  • a seal between the nozzle and the sliding closure remains on the refill and seals its nozzle against the intermediate container of the dispenser, while the sliding closure remains in a space forming a depot in front of the inlet opening.
  • the refill is thus inserted into the dispenser with the closed nozzle pointing downwards by placing it in front of the inlet opening of the intermediate container and then pushing it into the guide elements, the sliding closure exposing the refill nozzle.
  • the empty refill is removed or a refill that has not yet been emptied is changed, it is pulled forward, the closure held in the depot being pushed back onto the nozzle of the refill in a sealing manner.
  • the refill preferably has a cover made of a thin plastic film, which is roughly cuboid and on which the base element provided with the nozzle forms a stiffening or reinforcement, which also represents a handle or attack option for the operator when the refill is pushed into the dispenser.
  • the invention has therefore set itself the task of facilitating the insertion and removal process and achieves this through the features of claim 1.
  • the receptacle is preferably horizontally displaceable in the manner of a drawer and the refill can be inserted or removed more easily in a loading or unloading position pushed out of the housing and pushed together with the drawer with increased stability into the delivery position in which the inlet opening of the intermediate container of the dispenser is aligned with the opening in the neck of the refill.
  • the receptacle for the refill is characterized in that it is mounted in the housing so as to be displaceable relative to an output unit and relative to the housing.
  • the refill preferably forms an only slightly dimensionally stable shell of the product, it is advantageous in a preferred embodiment if the receptacle has a front and a rear side wall for contact with the upside-down refill, which runs perpendicular to the direction in which the refill is pushed stabilize.
  • At least one lateral side wall can be provided to rest against the refill inserted upside down.
  • the at least one lateral side wall preferably extends only over part of the side of the receptacle, so that there is limited space to the side for refilling.
  • the receptacle with the front and rear side walls and any lateral side walls that may be present together with the base of the receptacle form a type of tub in which the upside-down refill can be inserted securely in position.
  • the refill preferably consists of a preferably cuboid container with walls that are formed by a flexible film, with a solid surface made of plastic being provided on one of the cuboid sides. When the refill is upside down, this solid surface lies against the bottom of the receptacle. It also contains the dispensing opening for the flowable product.
  • the receptacle has a base on which engagement elements on the underside are arranged in the sliding direction, which engage in counter-elements of the housing, the engagement elements and the counter-elements in particular forming a sliding guide.
  • the loading and unloading position as well as the delivery position are preferably each defined by an end stop of the sliding guide.
  • the sliding lock can be provided with external recesses and projections which interact with counter-elements in the area of the depot.
  • there can be clearances or protrusions on the Refill or its nozzle interact with counter elements in the vicinity of the inlet opening, or cross sections of the guide elements for inserting the refill can be matched to one another.
  • Codings can therefore also be designed according to the invention by providing coding elements on the displaceable receptacle which match counter-elements on the refill.
  • the displaceable receptacle has an approximately rectangular base, and a coding element is designed as an element, in particular as a column, protruding in at least one corner region of the base. If a refill does not have a recess on its bottom that corresponds to the upright element, it cannot be inserted into the receptacle.
  • Upstanding elements are preferably provided in each corner area, which can have round or angular cross-sections.
  • the displaceable receptacle can, however, also be equipped with refills which are closed in a different way, for example the refill could be provided with a closure which is pierced in the dispensing position by means of a spike from the dispenser.
  • the refill could also contain a valve that is pushed up in the delivery position and closes again when the refill is removed.
  • a further preferred embodiment provides that a coding element is designed in the form of a central opening in the bottom of the displaceable receptacle for the closed nozzle of the refill to pass through.
  • the cross-section of the closed nozzle must therefore correspond to the opening in the bottom so that the refill can be inserted into the displaceable receptacle, the closed nozzle through the Opening in the floor protrudes downwards. Only then can the recording be moved to the delivery position.
  • the opening is preferably above the depot for the sliding closure of the connector, so that when the correctly coded refill is inserted, the connector passes through the opening and the sliding closure into the depot. If this end position is reached, the displaceable receptacle can be moved into the dispensing position, the sliding closure being held back in the depot and the opened nozzle of the refill being aligned with the inlet opening of the intermediate container of the dispenser.
  • the housing has an openable, preferably pivotable cover, and the displaceable receptacle for the refill is coupled in terms of movement with the opening and closing of the cover.
  • the dispensing unit preferably has a conveying device, preferably a metering pump, for conveying a flowable product from the refill to a dispensing point.
  • a flowable product can thus be dispensed by actuating the conveying device.
  • a refill 20 made of soft, flexible material, for example made of thin plastic film, is roughly cuboid and has a bottom, in particular provided with a reinforcement, a connecting piece 21 with an opening.
  • the reinforcement extends over the surface of the floor and engages around two opposite edges. Details about such a refill and its production are about the WO 2008/089500 refer to.
  • the refill contains in particular a liquid product such as soap, shampoo or disinfectant and is inserted upside down in the housing 1 of a dispenser.
  • the connecting piece 21 carries webs protruding on both sides as an extension of its end face and a sealing ring protruding slightly from the end face.
  • An approximately clamp-like or C-shaped body is used as the closure 22, which is pushed on from the side, engaging behind the webs.
  • the refills 20 are inserted upside down in a dispenser which has a housing 1 with an openable front cover 2.
  • the in Fig. 1 The dispenser shown has an output unit 13 for the flowable product in the lower part.
  • the output unit 13 can, for example, be a conveying device 16, preferably a metering pump, for conveying the flowable product from the refill 20 ( Fig. 4 ) to a delivery point 14 ( Fig. 1 ) exhibit.
  • the flowable product can be temporarily stored in an intermediate container 17 between the refill 20 and the delivery point 14.
  • connection element 9 is provided with an opening to which the refill 20 can be docked. Since the refill 20 is closed by a slide fastener 22, this is done by moving the refill 20, i.e. by pushing the nozzle 21 into the connection element 9, the slide fastener 22 being stripped off and the subsequent depot 23 in a recess provided in front of the connection element 9 is called, remains lying, as from the Figures 1 to 3 can be seen.
  • the depot 23 is delimited by webs so that it receives the closure 22 in a form-fitting manner. As a result, the refill 20 is pushed back onto the closure during removal and can be removed from the dispenser after it has been closed. The refill 20 can therefore also be exchanged partially filled without a partial amount being lost.
  • connection element 9 Pushing a filled refill 20 into the connection element 9 requires a certain amount of force, since the above-mentioned sealing ring, which seals the sliding closure 22, is also pushed into the connection element 9, where it seals off the connection element 9.
  • the refill 20 consists of a flexible material, it is only stabilized by the reinforcement of the base when it is pushed into the dispenser.
  • a receptacle 3 which can be displaced in the manner of a drawer, is provided in the housing 1 for the refill.
  • the receptacle 3 has a bottom 5 with an opening 8 and a front and a rear side wall 4 for contacting the refill 20 inserted upside down.
  • the receptacle 3 has two lateral side walls 15 for contact with the refill 20 inserted upside down, the lateral side walls 15 only extending over a part of the side of the receptacle 3.
  • the receptacle 3 is largely open to the left and right.
  • the Figures 4 to 6 show the Recording 3 each in an oblique view from above, wherein Fig. 4 the pulled out loading or unloading position and Fig. 5 represents the inserted delivery position. In the loading and unloading position after Fig. 2 and Fig.
  • the closed, upside-down refill is inserted into the receptacle 3 from above.
  • the closed connector 21 then protrudes downward through the opening 8 in the base 5 of the receptacle 3, the sliding closure 22 engaging in the depot 23 provided directly below the opening 8.
  • the receptacle 3 is then moved in the direction of arrow A into the delivery position ( Fig. 3 , 5 ) shifted, the connecting piece 21 being freed from the sliding closure 22 and being pushed into the connecting element 9.
  • the sliding path is through a stop 12 ( Fig. 2 , 3 ) limited.
  • the sliding closure 22 remains in the depot 23 until the completely or only partially emptied refill 20 is removed from the dispenser again, the receptacle 3 being moved back into the loading and unloading position in the direction of arrow B. In the process, the sliding closure 22 pushes itself back onto the connecting piece 21 and the refill can - tightly closed - be removed upwards again.
  • a stop also defines the loading and unloading position of the displaceable recepta
  • a sliding guide is formed between the underside of the displaceable receptacle 3 and the connection element 9 in the housing 1 of the dispenser, which includes engagement elements 6 and counter elements 11 on the underside.
  • coding is provided, that is, elements that fit into one another must be formed on each refill 20 and on the dispenser.
  • a special cross-sectional shape of the opening 8 for example rectangular (with possible additional, opposing bulges) can be provided, which on the outer contour of the rectangular Slide lock is matched.
  • the movement of the movable receptacle 3 between the loading and unloading position ( Fig. 2 , 4th ) and the delivery position ( Fig. 3 , 5 ) can be done by hand as described.
