Definitions

the present invention relates to a spray head for discharging product from a container, with
An actuating element the actuation of the outlet opening is connectable to a valve opening of the container.
containers from which they are discharged, for example in the form of foam or gel.
the containers are pressure vessels.
a spray head for foams or gels which has an attachment element on which a closure element is articulated.
This comprises a movably mounted in the attachment element actuating element having an outlet opening and a pressure section, wherein the outlet opening is connectable via a connection with a valve opening of the container, the valve is actuated via the pressure section and the closure element in its closed position closes the outlet opening.
the closure element and the actuating element form a locking device which blocks a triggering of the actuating element in a closed position of the closure element.
the US 3,410,695 A describes an aerosol valve in which the outlet opening closes automatically, which takes place via a spherical element with a passage opening.
US 3,323,695 A discloses an actuator for a valved pressure dispenser having means for preventing undesired product spillage or contamination of the product contained in the dispenser. From US 2002/008119 AI an actuating mechanism is known which comprises means for blocking the valve actuation.
DE 43 90 810 Tl describes a child-resistant nozzle for a hand sprayer.
the object of the invention is to provide a comparison with the prior art easier and safer to handle spray head.
closure element and the actuating element form a unit which is pivotable about an axis from a closure position to an actuating position, wherein that the outlet opening of the spray channel can be closed by the unit in the closed position and that the unit a Blocking means over which the unit is locked in the closed position.
a blocking means which is preferably arranged on the upper side of the unit consisting of closure element and actuating element, the unit can be blocked in the closed position or brought into the actuating position. Both the operation of the blocking means and the operation of the actuating element can be done with one and the same hand, so that a one-handed operation of the device is possible. Thus, no overcap is needed, as a blocking means for preventing a unwanted actuation of the actuating element is provided. It is precisely the interaction of the unit, which can be pivoted about an axis from a closure position into an actuating position, with the blocking means which blocks the unit in the closure position, in which the outlet opening of the spray channel is simultaneously closed, results in a synergistic effect.
a preferred embodiment of the invention is that the blocking means has on its underside a connecting means which is positively connected in the closed position with the attachment element.
the blocking agent is designed as a button, preferably as a push or push button.
a shift key is advantageous in that there is no risk in a shift key that the key is brought by vertical pressure exerted by the shutter position in the operating position.
the unit of closure element and actuator is positively connected to the attachment element, so that a pivoting of the unit in the operating position is no longer possible.
the button is pressed again, the positive connection is released again and the unit can be pivoted ver in the operating position.
the button has a profiling on its upper side.
Fig. La is a sectional view of a spray head according to the invention.
Closure position, 1 b is a side view of the spray head according to the invention in the closed position
1c is a perspective view of the spray head according to the invention in the closed position
Fig. 2a is a sectional view of a spray head according to the invention.
2b is a side view of the spray head according to the invention in the actuating position
2c is a perspective view of the spray head according to the invention in the operating position
Fig. 3c three views of a spray head according to the invention with a
the spray head according to the invention has an attachment element 1 for application to a container, on which a unit 2 is moved about an axis from a closure position (FIG. 1 a to 1 c) into an actuating position (FIGS to 2c) is pivotally mounted.
This unit 2 comprises a closure element 2a for closing an outlet opening 3 of the spray channel and an actuating element 2b, in the actuation of which the outlet opening 3 can be connected via a channel 4 to the valve opening of the container.
the actuating element 2b By pressing on the actuating element 2b, the outlet opening 3 is released at the same time and the valve is actuated, so that product exits from the container.
the unit Upon release of the actuating element 2b, the unit automatically pivots back into the closed position, in which the outlet opening 3 of the spray channel is closed again.
a sealing element for example, with injected, can be additionally provided that additional protection against the ingress of oxygen and other undesirable Foreign substances (eg sand) offers and prevents the drying, hardening or oxidation of the product.
this sealing element provides protection against re-foaming of the product.
the unit 2 has as a blocking means 5 on a button 5, which is designed here as a sliding button on the top of the unit 2.
the button 5 has on its underside a projection 6 which engages behind an element 7 of the attachment element 1 in a first end position of the button 5 (in this case toward the front end, on which the outlet opening is arranged). In this way, the key 5 and with it the unit 2 is positively connected to the attachment element 1, so that a pivoting of the unit 2 in the operating position is no longer possible.
a tamper-evident closure is provided, which secures the unit 2 before the first use of the spray head in this position by the key 5 or the unit 2 is blocked by the originality closure in the closed position and this destroyed before the first operation must become. This ensures that the customer receives an unused product.
the button 5 as well as the actuator 2b on its upper side have a profiling.
another blocking means 5 may be provided, for example, a rotary closure.
a rotary closure This may for example be arranged as the slide button 5 on the top of the unit 2 and, for example, have a slot into which a screwdriver can be inserted to transfer the rotary member from the closure position to the operating position.
a trained rotary closure can serve as a tamper-evident closure at the same time.
the rotary closure can also be arranged as a rotary ring on the outside of the attachment element 1.
a sliding shutter which can also be arranged on the top of the unit 2 or on the outside of the attachment element 1 and the of a closure position can be pushed into an operating position. Turning ring and slider would each prevent in the blocking position that the unit 2 can be moved down.
a return element 6 may be provided to return the unit 2 in its closed position.
the return element 6 is formed as plastic of the 6, which is arranged on the attachment element 1 and which presses on the underside of the unit 2. If pressure is exerted on the actuating element 2b to connect the outlet opening 3 with the valve opening of the container, the return element 6 is tensioned. Upon release of the actuating element 2b, the return element 6 then pushes the unit 2 back into its starting position, the closure position, back.
the device according to the invention is particularly suitable for
Viscous, re-leaching or post-foaming products such as gels and foams
