Definitions

  • the invention relates to a dispenser having a housing for interchangeable refills of flowable products which can be inserted upside down in a receptacle of the housing.
  • dispensers are suitable, for example, for dispensing cleaning agents, care products, disinfectants or the like in doses.
  • fluids optionally also free-flowing or pasty media, come into consideration as free-flowing products.
  • a donation system with such a donor is, for example, in WO 2015/089531 described by the applicant.
  • the dispenser has a housing with an openable cover, in the lower area of which an intermediate container provided with an inlet opening and a dosing pump dispensing the product from the intermediate container are arranged.
  • guide elements are provided on both sides of the inlet opening, which allow a correspondingly designed refill to be pushed in.
  • the refill that is suitable for this purpose has a base element on which a connecting piece is provided which is provided with a sliding closure and carries corresponding sliding guide elements.
  • a seal between the spout and slide closure remains on the refill and seals its spout against the dispenser's surge tank, while the slide closure resides in a depot space in front of the inlet port.
  • the refill is then inserted into the dispenser with the closed spout pointing downwards, placing it in front of the inlet opening of the surge tank and then sliding it into the guide elements, the sliding closure releasing the refill spout.
  • 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 socket forms a stiffening or reinforcement, which also represents a handle or possibility for the operator to grip when inserting the refill 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 dispensing position in which the inlet opening of the intermediate container of the dispenser is aligned with the opening in the refill nozzle.
  • the receptacle for the refill is characterized in that it is mounted in the housing so that it can be displaced relative to a dispensing unit and relative to the housing.
  • the refill preferably forms a shell of the product that is only slightly dimensionally stable, it is advantageous in a preferred embodiment if the receptacle has a front and a rear side wall for contact with the refill inserted upside down, which in each case runs perpendicular to the sliding direction that the refill stabilize.
  • At least one lateral side wall can be provided to rest against the refill used upside down.
  • the at least one lateral side wall preferably only extends over part of the side of the receptacle, so that there is limited lateral space for refilling.
  • the receptacle with the front and rear side walls and the lateral side walls that may be present form a type of trough together with the base of the receptacle, into which the upside-down refill can be securely inserted.
  • the refill preferably consists of a preferably parallelepiped-shaped container with walls formed by a flexible foil, with a solid surface made of plastic being provided on one of the parallelepiped sides. This solid surface rests against the bottom of the receptacle when refilled upside down. It also contains the dispensing orifice for the flowable product.
  • the receptacle has a base on which engaging elements are arranged on the underside in the sliding direction, which engage in counter-elements of the housing, with the engagement elements and the counter-elements in particular forming a sliding guide.
  • the loading and unloading position and the delivery position are preferably defined by a respective end stop of the sliding guide.
  • coding elements which can be formed in different variants on the one hand on the dispenser and on the other hand on the refills.
  • the sliding closure can be provided with external recesses and projections that interact with counter-elements in the area of the depot.
  • waivers or projections on the Refill or their socket interact with counter-elements in the vicinity of the inlet opening, or be coordinated with each other for inserting the refill cross-sections of the guide elements.
  • Codes can therefore also be designed according to the invention in that coding elements are provided 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 standing up in at least one corner region of the base, in particular as a column. If a refill does not have a recess in its bottom corresponding to the upstanding element, it cannot be inserted into the socket.
  • Upstanding elements which can have round or angular cross sections, are preferably provided in each corner area.
  • the displaceable receptacle can also be fitted with refills that are closed in some other way; for example, the refill could be provided with a closure that is pierced in the dispensing position by a spike from the dispenser.
  • the refill could also include a valve that is pushed up in the dispensing position and closes again when the refill is removed.
  • a further preferred embodiment provides for a coding element to be designed in the form of a central opening in the base of the displaceable receptacle for the closed nozzle of the refill to pass through. Therefore, when inserting the refill, the cross-section of the closed nozzle must correspond to the opening in the bottom, so that the refill can be inserted into the sliding seat, the closed nozzle passing 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 nozzle, so that when the correctly coded refill is inserted, the nozzle passes through the opening and the sliding closure into the depot.
  • the displaceable receptacle can be moved into the dispensing position, with 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 movement-coupled to the opening and closing of the cover.
  • the dispensing unit preferably has a conveying device, preferably a dosing pump, for conveying a free-flowing product from the refill to a delivery point.
  • a free-flowing product can thus be dispensed by actuating the conveying device.
  • a refill 20 made of soft, flexible material, for example a thin plastic film, is approximately cuboid and has a socket 21 with an opening on a base provided in particular with a reinforcement.
  • the reinforcement extends across the face of the floor and embraces two opposite edges. Details about such a refill and its production are about WO 2008/089500 refer to.
  • the refill contains a liquid product such as soap, shampoo or disinfectant and is inserted upside down into the housing 1 of a dispenser.
  • the connecting piece 21 carries protruding webs on both sides as an extension of its end face and a sealing ring protruding slightly from the end face.
  • An approximately clamp- or C-shaped body serves as the closure 22 and is pushed on from the side, engaging behind the webs.
  • the refills 20 are placed upside down in a dispenser having a housing 1 with an openable front cover 2 .
  • the dispenser shown has a dispensing unit 13 for the free-flowing product in the lower part.
  • the dispensing unit 13 can, for example, be a conveying device 16, preferably a dosing pump, for conveying the free-flowing product from the refill 20 ( 4 ) to a delivery point 14 ( 1 ) exhibit.
  • the free-flowing 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 sliding closure 22, this is done by sliding the refill 20, i.e. by pushing the socket 21 into the connection element 9, with the sliding closure 22 being stripped off and in a recess provided in front of the connection element 9, which is subsequently called depot 23 is called, remains, as from the Figures 1 to 3 is evident.
  • 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 slides back onto the closure when it is removed and can be removed from the dispenser after it has been closed again. The refill 20 can therefore also be exchanged when it is partially filled, without a portion being lost.
  • 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 and causes the seal to the connection element 9 there.
  • the refill 20 is made of a flexible material, it is only stabilized by the reinforcement of the bottom when inserted into the dispenser.
  • a receptacle 3 for the refill that can be moved in the manner of a drawer is provided in the housing 1.
  • the receptacle 3 has a bottom 5 with an opening 8 and a front and a rear side wall 4 for resting the refill 20 inserted upside down.
  • the receptacle 3 has two lateral side walls 15 for resting against the refill 20 inserted upside down, the lateral side walls 15 only extending over part of the side of the receptacle 3 .
  • Recording 3 is largely open on the left and right.
  • the Figures 4 to 6 show the Recording 3 each in an oblique view from above, where 4 the pulled-out loading or unloading position and figure 5 represents the inserted delivery position. In the loading and unloading position 2 and 4 the closed, upside-down refill is inserted into receptacle 3 from above.
  • the closed socket 21 then protrudes downwards through the opening 8 in the bottom 5 of the receptacle 3 , with 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 to the delivery position ( 3 , 5 ) shifted, the socket 21 being freed from the sliding closure 22 and pushed into the connection element 9 .
  • the sliding path is defined by a stop 12 ( 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, with the receptacle 3 being moved in the direction of arrow B back into the loading and unloading position.
  • the sliding closure 22 is then pushed back onto the socket 21 and the refill can be removed upwards again - tightly closed.
  • a stop also defines the loading and unloading position of the displaceable receptacle 3 .
  • 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, ie elements that fit into one another must be formed on each refill 20 and on the dispenser.
  • a particular cross-sectional shape of the opening 8 for example rectangular (with possible additional, opposite bulges) can be provided, which on the outer contour of the rectangular Sliding closure is matched.
  • upstanding elements 7, such as columns in the shape of a truncated cone or cuboid, may be formed, for which matching recesses are provided on the reinforcement of the bottom 19 of the refill 20.
  • the movement of the movable receptacle 3 between the loading and unloading position ( 2 , 4 ) and the delivery position ( 3 , 5 ) can be done manually as described.
