  • the invention relates to a dispenser for dispensing metered quantities of liquid to pasty products, consisting of a storage container with axially displaceable Tracking piston and arranged on the storage container Dispenser head with a dispenser pump, the pumping chamber input and on the output side is limited by check valves and with one of Dispenser pump downstream discharge channel with a through a sealing element lockable application opening.
  • a dispenser of the type described above is known from EP 0 048 420 B1 known.
  • the dispenser consists of a hollow cylindrical storage tank with a lower open end which is axially displaceable Reciprocating piston is closed.
  • the upper end of the storage container has a top surface with an inlet valve.
  • a dispenser head On this cylindrical storage container, a dispenser head is arranged with a donor pump located in the dispenser head, the pump chamber of which and on the output side is limited by check valves and with a the dispenser pump downstream mouthpiece with application opening.
  • the outflow channel is an automatically closing opening in the outflow direction
  • check valve consists of an elastic sealing lip ring, which in the closed position side sealingly abuts against the cylinder surface of a pin, the inside or arranged in front of the outflow opening.
  • the diameter of the Spigot is larger than the opening diameter of the relaxed sealing lip ring in the application position.
  • dispensers of the aforementioned type with a sealing element for closing the application opening form which is as simple as possible and can be mounted, and that during application of the product, for example during application of the product on the skin, this process is not hindered.
  • the task is with a donor of the type mentioned with the characterizing features of claim 1 solved by the Dispenser head with a dispenser head in the axial direction above concluding Application cap with flat application surface and with in the application area is formed centrally disposed application opening, and the sealing element designed to close the application opening and within the Application surface is arranged, that the sealing element the application opening completely covered and thereby transitionless and edgeless a part the flat application surface forms
  • the inventive design of the dispenser with a dispenser head the top or side closing flat application surface of the Dispensers not only for metered dispensing of liquid to pasty products can be used, but in addition, the flat application surface during the discharge of the product from the center in the application area arranged application opening and then for even distribution the discharged product, for example when applied to the skin become.
  • the application opening from two or more by webs interconnected flow openings educated.
  • an upright Mandrel arranged, whose height up to the upper edge of the application surface enough.
  • the made of an elastic material sealing element, which in his End face having an outlet opening is arranged so that the outlet opening the end face just above the mandrel of the application opening located.
  • the sealing element In the application process, in which the product to be discharged with pressure is pressed up and against the sealing element, the sealing element lifts from the mandrel and thus releases the application opening. The product can now unhindered through the application opening and further through the outlet opening the end face of the sealing element emerge upwards.
  • the sealing element is a cylindrically shaped Cap with its side wall in a diameter of the cap corresponding recess of the application surface is bounced.
  • the recess in the application area is so deep that the side wall of the Fully sealed is sealing element and the upper end face of the sealing element edgeless and seamlessly adapts to the application area this complements.
  • the side wall of the sealing element is due to its elasticity and by at least one annular bead formed on the outside so firmly bounced that during the application process, only the end face can bulge outward inside, the side wall, however, firmly in the recess remains.
  • sealing element Due to the simple design of the sealing element is advantageously a simple Production possible and also easy assembly of the sealing element in given the application area of the donor. Since the production of the sealing element separate from the other construction elements of the dispenser can be carried out commercially available elastic raw materials used For example, thermoplastic elastomers (TPE, also known as Thermoplastic rubber or elastoplasts or thermoplastics), nitrile rubber (nitrile-butadiene rubber NBR), nitrile silicone rubber, silicone or other gummy raw materials.
  • TPE thermoplastic elastomers
  • NBR nitrile rubber
  • silicone rubber silicone or other gummy raw materials.
  • the sealing element is not in one piece, but together with the application cap and thus with the Application surface manufactured in one piece in 2-component injection molding.
  • a dispenser 1 is dosed for dispensing in a vertical section Amounts of liquid to pasty products 30 with an embodiment of the invention the application cap 10 shown.
  • the dispenser 1 consists in his basic building blocks from a storage container 3 for receiving the donating product 30 with a NachGermankolben 8, a donor pump. 4 with pumping chamber 5 and a dispenser head 2 with outflow channel 9 and a Application area 11 with application opening 12.
  • the Dispenser head 2 covered with a cap 14.
  • a sealing pin 18 is inserted from above, in which the outflow channel 9 forms.
  • This sealing pin 18 has the center arranged a mandrel 13, whose upper surface with the application surface 11th flush and at a distance from this mandrel 13 a circumferential sleeve 19th
  • the sealing element 15 arranged within the application surface 11 .
  • the sealing element 15 manufactured together with the application cap 10, so that the sealing element 15 thus represents a part of the application area 11.
  • the application cap 10 with the sealing element 15 has a below the Seal member 15 circumferential collar 19 ', which in the assembly of the application cap 10 is pushed onto the sealing pin 18 in the circumferential sleeve 19 is. This ensures that the sealing element 15 just above the application opening 12 is located.
  • the sealing element 15 has in its center a small outlet opening 16 (Fig. 4), in the mounted state of the application cap 10 exactly on the central Mandrel 13 of the sealing pin 18 is seated and thus below the sealing element 15 located application port 12 closes airtight.
  • the application cap 10 is in a front view (Fig. 2), a sectional front view (Fig. 3) and in a plan view (Fig. 4) highlighted for clarity.
  • FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 the application cap 10 is in a front view (Fig. 2), a sectional front view (Fig. 3) and in a plan view (Fig. 4) highlighted for clarity.
  • the size ratios of sealing element 15th and its small outlet opening 16 with respect to the application surface 11 more clearly.
  • FIG. 5 and 6 is an alternative embodiment of an inventive Application cap 20 and the associated alternative sealing element 25 is shown.
  • the application cap 20 has no right angle to the dispenser axis aligned application surface 11 as the dispenser head 10 of FIG. 1 but the application surface 21 is inclined here to the dispenser axis educated. This is particularly advantageous in terms of application, when the application area 21 is used for direct application to the skin shall be.
  • the sealing the application opening sealing element 25 is in this embodiment not together with the application cap 20, but made in one piece separately.
  • the sealing element 25 consists of a cylindrical formed elastic cap with a round side wall 27 and an end face 25 '.
  • This sealing element 25 is with its round side wall 27 so deep into a corresponding round and deep recess 28 of the application area 21 firmly bounced that its end face 25 'the application surface 21 added seamlessly at this point. So that the sealing element 25 also at the protrusion during the application process its firm seat in the Recess 28 maintains, is outside of the side wall 27 at least one Ring bead 27 'arranged.
  • FIG. 5 the application cap 20 is shown in the closed position.
  • the Sealing element 25 is seated with its outlet opening 26 (FIG. 6) on the mandrel 23 on, whereby the outlet opening 26 and thus also the underlying Application opening 22 is hermetically sealed.
  • FIG. 6 shows the application cap 20 of FIG. 5 in a plan view. Through this view, the proportions are made clearer. There the sealing element 25 is manufactured separately and with its side walls 27 in the Application cap 20 must be anchored, it is much larger Made diameter and thus represents a significant proportion of the application area 21. This proportion is at the application cap 10 with his Sealing element 15 significantly lower, as shown in FIG. 4 can be seen.
