Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a perfume dispenser.
  • Perfume dispensers are known in the most varied configurations. They have a fragrance container generally made of glass, usually in the form of a vial.
  • the fragrance container either has a pouring opening, or a discharge device with a pump mechanism, a sponge or a roll-on mechanism is provided on the fragrance container.
  • the discharge device is usually covered and protected by means of a screw or plug cap.
  • a known spray device (US-1880373) is designed in the form of a pin and has at one end a spray head which can be actuated by means of a pump device provided on the pin body outside of a cap covering the spray head.
  • the cap is a conventional screw cap with a narrow clip known from fountain pens.
  • the object of the present invention is to create a perfume dispenser which is safe to use and which is advantageously suitable as an advertising medium.
  • the perfume dispenser according to the invention should be designed in such a way that, on the one hand, it has sufficient areas for advertising and, on the other hand, it is carried along by the user whenever possible and is frequently used, so that the advertising on the perfume dispenser is also used by third parties can be taken.
  • the perfume dispenser according to the invention has to be characterized by particular handiness and easy handling, while at the same time, according to the first-mentioned aspect, the available advertising space must not be too small. Furthermore, it should have an appealing design.
  • the fragrance container has an elongated shape.
  • a discharge device is provided on one side of the fragrance container.
  • a cover cap at least covers that part of the discharge device which protrudes from the fragrance container.
  • a clip is connected to the cover cap, which serves as an outward-facing advertising surface and also for clamping the perfume dispenser.
  • the perfume dispenser according to the invention preferably has a cylindrical shape which is so far similar to that of a pen.
  • the clip provided on the cover cap is wide and is particularly suitable for attaching advertising, jewelry or the like, since it is also visible when the perfume dispenser is placed over the edge of a pocket from which only the clip protrudes.
  • the fragrance container itself can also serve as an advertising space, possibly even for a different advertiser than the clip. This allows two partners to advertise together, for example a fragrance manufacturer and an automobile manufacturer.
  • the design according to the invention also contributes to the fact that the perfume dispenser is particularly handy, ie it can be held by the clip, for example worn like a pen in a jacket or in a shirt pocket, without being bulky.
  • the clip serves as a layer for the perfume dispenser.
  • the user will regularly carry and use the fragrance dispenser.
  • the perfume dispenser according to the invention as a "fragrance pen” there is also a “camouflage”, which makes the decision to carry a perfume dispenser easier for some people.
  • the scented pen according to the invention thus represents a cap with advertising space and a scent supply.
  • the cylindrical perfume container Due to the elongated design of the cylindrical perfume container, for example, it can have a relatively large capacity without the diameter becoming too large.
  • the slim shape of the perfume dispenser caused by the elongated cylindrical shape of the fragrance container and the cylindrical shape of the cover cap also gives it an overall appealing design. This impression can be supported by a suitable choice of material, for example by manufacturing the fragrance container from glass, if necessary with Plastic coating, or plastic with a noble surface.
  • a simple pouring opening can be provided in the fragrance container.
  • preferred embodiments of the perfume dispenser according to the invention have a discharge device which comprises a pump mechanism, a sponge or a roll-on mechanism.
  • the discharge device having a pump mechanism is screwed onto the fragrance container so that it can be refilled.
  • a closable filler opening is expediently provided at the other end of the fragrance container.
  • the clip is usually integrally formed on the cover cap.
  • the clip and cover cap are initially produced separately from one another and both parts have elements of a hook or screw connection, so that the clip can later be attached to the cover cap by means of a hook or screw connection.
  • This is particularly important in front of the
  • the clip serves as an advertising medium and that the desired advertising can be attached to the corresponding perfume dispenser in a particularly simple manner.
  • an individual clip can be used for advertising purposes at a low cost for the production tool by connecting it with a standardized cap.
  • the connection between the cap and clip is designed in such a way that it can be released only with difficulty, ie with great effort or using a tool.
  • the clip can advantageously serve a separate mounting element, which adjoins the shape of the cover cap on the outside and which either engages the cap end or laterally on the cap.
  • the clip serves as an advertising medium, it preferably has a widened area, for example in the form of a circle, an ellipse, a rounded rectangle or the like; the shape of the widening can also correspond to a known company logo.
  • the widening of the clip or the clip itself has a width that is at least not significantly less than the diameter of the cap.
  • the clip can have a recessed carrier surface on its outside. che for an advertising element or an edition serving as jewelry.
  • the clip can extend essentially over its entire length.
  • the contouring or design of the clip or its widening itself is also possible as a company symbol, for example in the form of the bottle with which the perfume filled in the fragrance container is distributed.
  • the cover cap is preferably attached by simply plugging it onto the fragrance container; for this purpose, a snap-in connection is provided between the cover cap and the fragrance container, i.e.
  • the cover cap and the fragrance container have corresponding latching elements which hold the cover cap on the fragrance container in the attached state.
  • a screw connection is provided on the fragrance container and cap.
  • fragrance containers can also be made from tubular glass, ie pieces of long glass tubes sized according to the container length are cut off, provided with a melted bottom at one end and closed with the discharge device at the other end. there it may be appropriate to secure the fragrance container made of tubular glass with a protective coating, for example from tough powder coatings, against bursting.
  • the plug-in connection between the cover cap and the fragrance container is problematic, particularly if they are made of glass. Since glass bodies - in contrast to plastic parts - cannot be manufactured with correspondingly narrow tolerances, it can happen that the cap, which is generally made of plastic, is either not attachable because it is too narrow, or but sits too loosely. To avoid this, it can be advantageous to place the cover cap on a metal frame of the discharge device, e.g. on an already existing screw cap of the discharge device. Another possibility of tolerance compensation in the case of the plug connection mentioned is that the cover cap has a plug opening whose edge region is provided with at least one slot.
  • a particularly valuable embodiment of the cover cap can consist in that it consists of two parts, namely an outer sleeve which increases the visual impression and one of the Plug connection serving, preferably elastically deformable inner sleeve is formed.
  • the outer sleeve is preferably made of metal, the inner sleeve made of plastic, for example polypropylene.
  • the inner sleeve is provided with ribs projecting inwards and preferably elastic in the longitudinal direction; thin-walled hollow ribs are also suitable.
  • the outer sleeve is cylindrical, the inner sleeve tapers slightly conically from the insertion opening; as a result, the two parts can be clamped together by simple pressing together, the inner sleeve being radially expandable through the cavity between the two sleeves when it is plugged onto the fragrance container.
  • the cross section of the fragrance container and the cover cap is preferably round, polygonal or pentagonal; in the latter case there are additional levels suitable for advertising purposes, sufficiently large areas compared to a circular cross-section.
