Ein solcher Dosierspender kann für unterschiedliche Flüssigprodukte eingesetzt werden, beispielsweise für Desinfektionsmittel, für Waschlotionen oder für Pflegelotionen. Hierzu ist jeweils ein Flüssigproduktbehältnis auswechselbar an einer Trägerstruktur gehalten, die zur Wandbefestigung vorgesehen ist. Das Flüssigproduktbehältnis ist in montiertem Zustand durch eine Gehäusestruktur überdeckt, die an der Trägerstruktur lösbar befestigt ist. Um von außen ohne Entfernen der Gehäusestruktur bei dem bekannten Dosierspender zu erkennen, welche Art von Flüssigproduktbehältnis innerhalb der Gehäusestruktur an der Trägerstruktur montiert ist, sind bei bekannten Dosierspendern Rastklipse vorgesehen, die am Dosierspender manuell angebracht werden müssen. Die Montage erfolgt durch eine Person, die das entsprechende Flüssigproduktbehältnis im Dosierspender montiert. Die dem jeweiligen Flüssigprodukt zugeordneten Rastklipse müssen durch die entsprechende Person ebenfalls am Dosierspender befestigt werden. Die Montage ist aufwändig. Zudem sind entsprechende Klipse in unterschiedlichen Ländern nicht standardisiert, so dass sich für einen Nutzer des Dosierspenders Missverständnisse ergeben können. Zudem können entsprechende Klipse verloren gehen, so dass keine Kennzeichnung des Dosierspenders mehr möglich ist.Such a dosing dispenser can be used for different liquid products, for example for disinfectants, for washing lotions or for care lotions. For this purpose, a liquid product container is exchangeably held on a support structure that is provided for wall mounting. In the assembled state, the liquid product container is covered by a housing structure which is detachably fastened to the support structure. In order to recognize from the outside without removing the housing structure in the known dosing dispenser, which type of liquid product container is mounted inside the housing structure on the support structure, locking clips are provided in known dosing dispensers, which must be attached manually to the dosing dispenser. The assembly is carried out by a person who mounts the corresponding liquid product container in the dosing dispenser. The locking clips assigned to the respective liquid product must also be attached to the dosing dispenser by the appropriate person. The assembly is complex. In addition, corresponding clips are not standardized in different countries, so that misunderstandings can arise for a user of the dosing dispenser. In addition, corresponding clips can be lost, so that it is no longer possible to label the dosing dispenser.

Diese Aufgabe wird für den Dosierspender durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Die unterschiedlichen Produktindikationsabschnitte sind unterschiedlich gekennzeichnet durch Farbgestaltung und/oder durch Beschriftung und/oder durch unterschiedliche Bildsymbole. Das bewegliche Stellelement kann linear- oder drehbeweglich oder schwenkbeweglich oder entlang einer Kurvenbahn beweglich gelagert sein. Die sichtbare Markierung wirkt mit den wenigstens zwei unterschiedlichen Produktindikationsabschnitten zusammen, wobei entweder die wenigstens zwei Produktindikationsabschnitte stationär und die sichtbare Markierung beweglich sind, oder die kinematische Umkehr vorgesehen ist, indem die sichtbare Markierung der Gehäusestruktur zugeordnet und die wenigstens zwei Produktindikationsabschnitte am Stellelement vorgesehen sind. Das Einstellen des beweglichen Stellelements relativ zur stationären Gehäusestruktur erfolgt manuell durch eine Bedienperson. Die mechanische Stelleinrichtung ist an der Gehäusestruktur, vorzugsweise im Bereich einer Innenseite der Gehäusestruktur, angeordnet. Dadurch ist es möglich, die Gehäusestruktur gemeinsam mit der mechanischen Stelleinrichtung vorzumontieren, bevor die Gehäusestruktur einschließlich der mechanischen Stelleinrichtung im Bereich der Trägerstruktur lösbar befestigt wird. Erfindungsgemäß ist zur drehbaren Lagerung des Stellrads an der Innenseite der Gehäusestruktur ein konzentrisch angeordnetes Drehlager vorgesehen, das durch eine an der Gehäusestruktur angeformte Lagerprofilierung einerseits und eine mit der Lagerprofilierung der Gehäusestruktur verrastbare, an dem Stellrad angeformte komplementäre Lagerprofilierung andererseits gebildet ist. Die konzentrische Lagerung des Stellrads ermöglicht eine einfache und kostengünstige Herstellbarkeit. Vorzugsweise sind die komplementären Lagerprofilierungen an der Gehäusestruktur bzw. am Stellrad jeweils einstückig an der Innenseite der Gehäusestruktur bzw. an dem Stellrad angeformt. Die Verrastung kann unlösbar oder lösbar gestaltet sein, je nachdem, ob ein Austausch des Stellrads ermöglicht werden soll oder nicht.This task is solved for the dosing dispenser by the features of claim 1 . The different product indication sections are identified differently by color design and/or by lettering and/or by different pictograms.

If the actuating element is mounted so that it can rotate, the different product indication sections are arranged one behind the other in the direction of rotation. If the actuating element is mounted in the area of an inside of the housing structure, a viewing window is provided as a visible marking of the housing structure. In other versions, the visible marking can also be in the form of an arrow or a similarly designed marking.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist die Stelleinrichtung im Bereich einer Innenseite der Gehäusestruktur angeordnet, und die Gehäusestruktur weist als sichtbare Markierung ein Sichtfenster auf, durch das hindurch von einer Außenseite her der jeweils eingestellte Produktindikationsabschnitt erkennbar ist. Vorteilhaft sind die Abmessungen des Sichtfensters und die Abmessungen des jeweiligen Produktindikationsabschnitts derart aufeinander abgestimmt, dass entsprechende Kennzeichnungen oder Spezifikationen, die der Produktindikationsabschnitt aufweist, durch das Sichtfenster vollständig erkennbar sind. Entsprechende Spezifikationen oder Kennzeichnungen können durch funktionale Begriffe, die die Produktart definieren, wie insbesondere Desinfektion, Waschlösung oder Ähnliches, gebildet sein, und/oder farbliche oder bildliche Gestaltungen aufweisen, die eine eindeutige Zuordnung zu einem entsprechenden Flüssigprodukt ermöglichen. Das Sichtfenster kann als einfache Aussparung in einer Wandung der Gehäusestruktur gestaltet sein. Alternativ kann eine entsprechende Aussparung in der Gehäusewandung zusätzlich durch eine transparente Scheibe verschlossen sein.In a further embodiment of the invention, the adjusting device is arranged in the area of an inside of the housing structure, and the housing structure has a viewing window as a visible marking, through which the respectively set product indication section can be seen from the outside. The dimensions of the viewing window and the dimensions of the respective product indication section are advantageously matched to one another in such a way that corresponding markings or specifications that the product indication section has can be fully recognized through the viewing window. Corresponding specifications or markings can be formed by functional terms that define the product type, such as in particular disinfection, washing solution or the like, and/or have colored or pictorial designs that enable clear assignment to a corresponding liquid product. The viewing window can be be designed simple recess in a wall of the housing structure. Alternatively, a corresponding recess in the housing wall can also be closed by a transparent pane.

In der Erfindung ist das bewegliche Stellelement als an der Innenseite der Gehäusestruktur drehbar gelagertes Stellrad gestaltet. Das Verstellen des Stellrads erfolgt vorzugsweise nach einem Öffnen oder Entfernen der Gehäusestruktur relativ zur Trägerstruktur.In the invention, the movable adjusting element is designed as an adjusting wheel rotatably mounted on the inside of the housing structure. The setting wheel is preferably adjusted after the housing structure has been opened or removed relative to the support structure.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind die unterschiedlichen Produktindikationsabschnitte in Umfangsrichtung über eine der Innenseite der Gehäusestruktur zugewandte Frontseite des Stellrads verteilt angeordnet. Das Sichtfenster ist vorteilhaft in einer frontseitigen Gehäusewandung der Gehäusestruktur vorgesehen. Bei montiertem Stellrad sind demzufolge die unterschiedlichen Produktindikationsabschnitte dem Sichtfenster zugewandt.In a further embodiment of the invention, the different product indication sections are distributed in the circumferential direction over a front side of the setting wheel facing the inside of the housing structure. The viewing window is advantageously provided in a front housing wall of the housing structure. When the adjusting wheel is mounted, the different product indication sections therefore face the viewing window.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist der Stelleinrichtung ein Rastmechanismus zugeordnet, der das Stellelement in verschiedenen Zustellpositionen der Produktindikationsabschnitte relativ zu der Markierung sichert. Dadurch ist gewährleistet, dass sich das Stellelement nach einem Einstellen des entsprechenden Produktindikationsabschnitts nicht unbeabsichtigt verstellen kann.In a further embodiment of the invention, the adjusting device is assigned a latching mechanism, which secures the adjusting element in different infeed positions of the product indication sections relative to the marking. This ensures that the actuating element cannot unintentionally move after the corresponding product indication section has been set.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist der Rastmechanismus zueinander komplementäre Rastprofilierungen im Bereich der Gehäusestruktur und im Bereich des Stellelements andererseits auf, die kraftbegrenzt miteinander verrastbar sind. Die Rastprofilierungen sind vorzugsweise einstückig an der Gehäusestruktur bzw. am Stellelement angeformt. Die kraftbegrenzte Verrastung ermöglicht ein einfaches Lösen der Rastprofilierungen voneinander durch entsprechendes manuelles Verdrehen des Stellrads. Dabei muss die entsprechende Bedienperson einen Widerstand überwinden, der durch die kraftbegrenzte Verrastung der Rastprofilierungen vorhanden ist. Dieser Widerstand ist derart kraftbegrenzt ausgeführt, dass keine hohen Kräfte der Bedienperson für ein Lösen der Rastprofilierungen voneinander benötigt werden.In a further embodiment of the invention, the locking mechanism has mutually complementary locking profiles in the area of the housing structure and in the area of the actuating element on the other hand, which can be locked together with limited force. The latching profiles are preferably integrally formed on the housing structure or on the actuating element. The force-limited latching enables the latching profiles to be easily released from one another by turning the adjusting wheel manually. The corresponding operator must overcome a resistance that is present due to the force-limited locking of the locking profiles. This resistance is designed to be force-limited in such a way that no great force is required on the part of the operator to detach the locking profiles from one another.

Für die Gehäusestruktur der eingangs genannten Art wird die der Erfindung zugrunde liegende Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass die mechanische Stelleinrichtung an wenigstens einer Gehäusewandung der Gehäusestruktur angeordnet ist. Dadurch ist es möglich, die Gehäusestruktur einschließlich der mechanischen Stelleinrichtung als Vormontageeinheit vorzumontieren und die Gehäusestruktur anschließend mit der Trägerstruktur zu verbinden. Die Gehäusestruktur ist vorzugsweise um eine - in montiertem Zustand gesehen - zumindest weitgehend horizontale Achse schwenkbeweglich an der Trägerstruktur gehalten. Zwischen der Trägerstruktur und der Gehäusestruktur ist zudem in Abstand zu dieser Schwenkachse eine manuell lösbare Verriegelungseinrichtung vorgesehen, um die Gehäusestruktur in montiertem Betriebszustand an der Trägerstruktur zu sichern.For the housing structure of the type mentioned at the outset, the object on which the invention is based is achieved in that the mechanical actuating device is arranged on at least one housing wall of the housing structure. This makes it possible to pre-assemble the housing structure, including the mechanical actuating device, as a pre-assembly unit and then to connect the housing structure to the support structure. the The housing structure is preferably held on the support structure such that it can pivot about an axis which is at least largely horizontal, as seen in the assembled state. A manually releasable locking device is also provided between the support structure and the housing structure at a distance from this pivot axis in order to secure the housing structure on the support structure in the installed operating state.

Weitere Vorteile und Merkmale der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Ansprüchen sowie aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung eines bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiels der Erfindung, das anhand der Zeichnungen dargestellt ist.

Ein Dosierspender 1 gemäß den Fig. 1 und 2 weist eine Trägerstruktur 2 auf, die beim dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel eine Wandhalterung zur Wandbefestigung des Dosierspenders 1 aufweist. Die Trägerstruktur 2 weist eine auch als Aufnahmeeinrichtung bezeichnete Halterung 5 zur Sicherung eines Flüssigproduktbehältnisses 3 an der Trägerstruktur 2 auf. Das Flüssigproduktbehältnis 3 ist als Kunststoffflasche mit deformierbaren Behältniswandungen und einem Flaschenkopf ausgeführt, der in montiertem Zustand des Flüssigproduktbehältnisses 3 nach unten gerichtet und im Bereich der Halterung 5 lösbar befestigt ist. In betriebsfertig montiertem Zustand wird das Flüssigproduktbehältnis 3 durch eine Gehäusestruktur 4 überdeckt, die ein schalenförmiges Gehäuse bildet und im Bereich einer Oberseite über eine Schwenkbefestigung H schwenkbeweglich an der Trägerstruktur 2 gehalten ist. Die Schwenkbefestigung H definiert in montiertem Betriebszustand des Dosierspenders 1, in der die Trägerstruktur 2 vertikal entlang einer Gebäudewand ausgerichtet ist, eine horizontale Schwenkachse. Im Bereich einer Unterseite ist die Gehäusestruktur 4 mittels einer Verriegelungseinrichtung V in ihrem Betriebszustand an der Trägerstruktur 1gesichert. Die Verriegelungseinrichtung V ist bei der Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 1 nicht erkennbar, da diese durch die Gehäusestruktur verdeckt ist.A dosing dispenser 1 according to 1 and 2 has a support structure 2 which, in the exemplary embodiment shown, has a wall bracket for wall mounting of the dosing dispenser 1 . The support structure 2 has a holder 5 , also referred to as a receiving device, for securing a liquid product container 3 on the support structure 2 . The liquid product container 3 is designed as a plastic bottle with deformable container walls and a bottle head, which is directed downwards when the liquid product container 3 is in the assembled state and is detachably fastened in the area of the holder 5 . When assembled ready for operation, the liquid product container 3 is covered by a housing structure 4 which forms a shell-shaped housing and is pivotably held on the support structure 2 via a pivot attachment H in the region of an upper side. In the mounted operating state of the dosing dispenser 1, the swivel attachment H defines the position in which the support structure 2 is aligned vertically along a building wall is a horizontal pivot axis. In the area of an underside, the housing structure 4 is secured in its operating state on the carrier structure 1 by means of a locking device V. The locking device V is in accordance with the embodiment 1 not recognizable as it is covered by the housing structure.

Der Dosierspender 1 weist eine nicht näher dargestellte mechanische Dosiereinrichtung auf. Die Dosiereinrichtung weist eine durch manuellen Druck von vorne auf die begrenzt schwenkbeweglich gelagerte Gehäusestruktur 4 aktivierbare, mechanische Pumpeinrichtung auf, die eine entsprechende Dosierflüssigkeit aus dem Flaschenkopf herauszieht. Dabei drückt eine Bedienperson mit ihrem Handballen von vorne auf einen unteren Bereich einer Frontseite der Gehäusestruktur 4, während die Finger der Hand - quasi als Gegenlager - eine in Fig. 1 erkennbare Griffleiste an der Trägerstruktur 2 hintergreifen. Dadurch zieht sich zwangsläufig bei allmählicher Entleerung die Kunststoffflasche zusammen unter Deformation der Behältniswandungen 3a, 3b. Optional kann eine Pump-, d.h. Schwenkbewegung der Gehäusestruktur 4 um die Schwenkbefestigung H durch einen montierbaren Pumphebel 7 erfolgen, der in Fig. 1 dargestellt ist.The dosing dispenser 1 has a mechanical dosing device that is not shown in detail. The dosing device has a mechanical pump device that can be activated by manual pressure from the front on the housing structure 4, which is mounted so that it can pivot to a limited extent, and which draws a corresponding dosing liquid out of the bottle head. In doing so, an operator presses the ball of his hand from the front on a lower area of a front side of the housing structure 4, while the fingers of the hand - as a sort of counter bearing - press an in 1 reach behind the recognizable grip bar on the support structure 2. As a result, the plastic bottle inevitably contracts as it is gradually emptied, with deformation of the container walls 3a, 3b. Optionally, a pumping, ie pivoting, movement of the housing structure 4 around the pivot attachment H can be carried out by a mountable pump lever 7, which is 1 is shown.

Die Gehäusestruktur 4 weist eine frontseitige Gehäusewandung 4a sowie zwei seitliche Gehäusewandungen 4b auf. In der frontseitigen Gehäusewandung 4a ist ein ovalartiges Sichtfenster 12 vorgesehen. Die beiden seitlichen Gehäusewandungen 4b weisen jeweils ein kreisrundes Sichtfenster 10 auf, die etwa auf gleicher Höhe wie das frontseitige Sichtfenster 12 vorgesehen sind. Die Gehäusestruktur 4 umgibt das Flüssigproduktbehältnis 3 in Abstand zu den entsprechenden Behältniswandungen 3a und 3b des Flüssigproduktbehältnisses 3, so dass sich zwischen entsprechenden seitlichen und frontseitigen Innenflächen der Gehäusestruktur 4 einerseits und entsprechenden seitlichen und frontseitigen Außenflächen der Behältniswandungen 3a und 3b des Flüssigproduktbehältnisses 3 andererseits jeweils freie Zwischenräume ergeben.The housing structure 4 has a front housing wall 4a and two side housing walls 4b. An oval-shaped viewing window 12 is provided in the front housing wall 4a. The two lateral housing walls 4b each have a circular viewing window 10 which is provided at approximately the same height as the front viewing window 12 . The housing structure 4 surrounds the liquid product container 3 at a distance from the corresponding container walls 3a and 3b of the liquid product container 3, so that there are free spaces between the corresponding lateral and front inner surfaces of the housing structure 4 on the one hand and corresponding lateral and front outer surfaces of the container walls 3a and 3b of the liquid product container 3 on the other hand result in gaps.

Die beiden Sichtfenster 10 sind Teil einer nachfolgend näher beschriebenen mechanischen Anzeigeeinrichtung, die einen Füllstand des Flüssigproduktbehältnisses 3 anzeigt. Das frontseitige Sichtfenster 12 bildet eine sichtbare Markierung zum Anzeigen einer Flüssigproduktspezifikation des Flüssigproduktbehältnisses 3 und demzufolge zur Erkennung eines Produktindikationsabschnitts, wie ebenfalls nachfolgend näher beschrieben. Das Sichtfenster 12 ist demzufolge Teil einer mechanischen Stelleinrichtung, die ebenfalls nachfolgend beschrieben wird.The two viewing windows 10 are part of a mechanical display device, which is described in more detail below, and which displays the filling level of the liquid product container 3 . The front viewing window 12 forms a visible marking for displaying a liquid product specification of the liquid product container 3 and consequently for recognizing a product indication section, as also described in more detail below. The viewing window 12 is therefore part of a mechanical adjusting device, which is also described below.

Die mechanische Sensoreinrichtung, die im Bereich einer Innenseite der Gehäusestruktur 4 angeordnet ist, weist einen Taster 6 auf, der in montiertem Betriebszustand an der frontseitigen Behältniswandung 3a des Flüssigproduktbehältnisses 3 anliegt. Der Taster 6 wird getragen von einer Schwenklagerbrücke 7, die um eine - in montiertem Betriebszustand gesehen - horizontal ausgerichtete Schwenkachse S1 an der Innenseite der Gehäusestruktur 4 schwenkbeweglich gelagert ist. Hierzu weisen die Innenflächen der gegenüberliegenden seitlichen Gehäusewandungen 4b der Gehäusestruktur 4 jeweils eine an der jeweiligen Innenfläche einstückig angeformte Lagerung L auf, in die jeweils ein Lagerzapfen der Schwenklagerbrücke 7 eintaucht. Die Schwenklagerbrücke 7 und der Taster 6 wie auch die Lagerzapfen bilden ein einstückiges Kunststoffbauteil. Die Schwenklagerbrücke 7 ist kreisförmig entlang eines oberen Randbereichs eines kreisscheibenförmigen Stellrads 11 erstreckt, das nachfolgend noch beschrieben wird. Die Kreisbogenführung der Schwenklagerbrücke 7 erfolgt zumindest weitgehend konzentrisch zu einer Drehachse S2, die ebenfalls nachfolgend beschrieben wird.The mechanical sensor device, which is arranged in the area of an inside of the housing structure 4, has a button 6 which, in the installed operating state, bears against the front container wall 3a of the liquid product container 3. The button 6 is carried by a pivot bearing bridge 7, which is mounted on the inside of the housing structure 4 so that it can pivot about a horizontally aligned pivot axis S 1 --seen in the installed operating state. For this purpose, the inner surfaces of the opposite lateral housing walls 4b of the housing structure 4 each have a bearing L which is integrally formed on the respective inner surface and into which a bearing journal of the pivot bearing bridge 7 dips. The pivot bearing bridge 7 and the button 6 as well as the bearing pin form a one-piece plastic component. The pivot bearing bridge 7 extends in a circle along an upper edge area of a circular disc-shaped adjusting wheel 11, which will be described below. The circular arc guidance of the pivot bearing bridge 7 occurs at least largely concentrically to an axis of rotation S 2 , which is also described below.

An den Lagerzapfen der Schwenklagerbrücke 7 einstückig angeformt sind zwei radial nach hinten zur Trägerstruktur 2 hin abragende Gewichtsarme 8, die ebenfalls Abschnitte des einstückigen Kunststoffbauteils bilden. Die Gewichtsarme 8 bilden Hebelarme, die aufgrund ihrer Gewichtskraft auf die Schwenklagerbrücke 7 und demzufolge die Schwenklagerung zwischen den Lagerzapfen und den Lageraufnahmen L ein permanentes Drehmoment derart ausüben, dass der Taster 6 gegen die frontseitige Behältniswandung 3a gedrückt wird. Die Gewichtskraft der Gewichtsarme 8 wird dadurch vergrößert, dass die Gewichtsarme 8 jeweils ein Anzeigeelement in Form eines im Wesentlichen rechteckigen Fahnenabschnitts 9 tragen. Jeder Fahnenabschnitt 9 ist ebenfalls einstückig an dem zugehörigen Gewichtsarm 8 angeformt und ragt in der Radialebene des Gewichtsarms 8 - auf die Schwenkachse S1 bezogen - vom jeweiligen Gewichtsarm 8 aus nach oben ab. Der jeweilige Gewichtsarm 8 und der zugehörige Fahnenabschnitt 9 ragen in jeweils einen seitlichen Zwischenraum zwischen der jeweiligen seitlichen Behältniswandung 3b und der zugeordneten Gehäusewandung 4b der Gehäusestruktur 4 hinein. Der jeweilige Gewichtsarm 8 und der zugehörige Fahnenabschnitt 9 sind derart gestaltet, dass sie zumindest weitgehend berührungslos in diesen Zwischenraum hineinragen. Der Gewichtsarm 8 und der zugeordnete Fahnenabschnitt 9 sind dem jeweiligen seitlichen Sichtfenster 10 der Gehäusestruktur 4 derart zugeordnet, dass der jeweilige Fahnenabschnitt 9 bei der Schwenkbewegung des Gewichtsarms 8 zwangsläufig das Sichtfenster 10 kreuzt und demzufolge je nach Schwenkstellung des Gewichtsarms 8 und des Tasters 6 das Sichtfenster 10 freigibt, teilweise oder vollständig überdeckt. Eine entsprechende, dem Sichtfenster 10 von der Innenseite der Gehäusewandung 4b zugeordnete Fläche des Fahnenabschnitts 9 ist größer als die Fläche des Sichtfensters 10. Der jeweilige Fahnenabschnitt 9 ist optisch zu einer farblichen Gestaltung der seitlichen Gehäusewandung 4b der Gehäusestruktur 4a abgesetzt, indem er eine andere Farbe aufweist. Vorzugsweise ist der jeweilige Fahnenabschnitt 9 in einer Signalfarbe gestaltet. Wenn der Fahnenabschnitt 9 das Sichtfenster 10 rückseitig vollständig überdeckt, ist das Flüssigproduktbehältnis 3 leer. Diese Stellung des Fahnenabschnitts 9 definiert somit einen leeren Füllstand. Bei lediglich teilweiser Überdeckung des Sichtfensters 10 durch den Fahnenabschnitt 9 wird eine teilweise Entleerung des Flüssigproduktbehältnisses 3 angezeigt. Wenn der Fahnenabschnitt 9 durch das Sichtfenster 10 hindurch gar nicht erkennbar ist, ist der Füllstand des Flüssigproduktbehältnisses 3 voll.Two weight arms 8 which protrude radially backwards towards the support structure 2 and which also form sections of the one-piece plastic component are integrally formed on the bearing journals of the pivot bearing bridge 7 . The weight arms 8 form lever arms which, due to their weight, exert a permanent torque on the pivot bearing bridge 7 and consequently the pivot bearing between the bearing journals and the bearing mounts L such that the button 6 is pressed against the front container wall 3a. The weight of the weight arms 8 is increased in that the weight arms 8 each carry a display element in the form of a substantially rectangular flag section 9 . Each flag section 9 is also integrally formed on the associated weight arm 8 and protrudes in the radial plane of the weight arm 8 - based on the pivot axis S 1 - from the respective weight arm 8 upwards. The respective weight arm 8 and the associated lug section 9 each protrude into a lateral gap between the respective lateral container wall 3b and the associated housing wall 4b of the housing structure 4 . The respective weight arm 8 and the associated flag section 9 are designed in such a way that they protrude into this intermediate space at least largely without contact. The weight arm 8 and the associated lug section 9 are assigned to the respective lateral viewing window 10 of the housing structure 4 in such a way that the respective lug section 9 necessarily crosses the viewing window 10 during the pivoting movement of the weight arm 8 and consequently crosses the viewing window depending on the pivoting position of the weight arm 8 and the button 6 10 releases, partially or completely covered. A corresponding area of the lug section 9 assigned to the viewing window 10 from the inside of the housing wall 4b is larger than the area of the viewing window 10. The respective lug section 9 is optically a color design of the lateral housing wall 4b of the housing structure 4a by having a different color. The respective flag section 9 is preferably designed in a signal color. If the flag section 9 completely covers the rear of the viewing window 10, the liquid product container 3 is empty. This position of the flag section 9 thus defines an empty level. If the viewing window 10 is only partially covered by the flag section 9, a partial emptying of the liquid product container 3 is indicated. If the flag section 9 cannot be seen at all through the viewing window 10, the filling level of the liquid product container 3 is full.

Da der Taster 6 ausschließlich durch Schwerkraft verschwenkbar ist, nimmt der Taster 6 nach einem Austausch eines leeren Flüssigproduktbehältnisses 3 zwangsläufig wieder eine Ausgangsstellung gemäß den Fig. 1 und 2 ein, sobald ein neues, volles Flüssigproduktbehältnis 3 eingesetzt ist.Since the button 6 can only be pivoted by gravity, after an empty liquid product container 3 has been replaced, the button 6 inevitably returns to a starting position according to FIG 1 and 2 on as soon as a new, full liquid product container 3 is inserted.

Der Dosierspender 1 weist zudem eine Stelleinrichtung zum Anzeigen der Art des im Dosierspender 1 montierten Flüssigprodukts auf. Die Stelleinrichtung weist ein drehbeweglich gelagertes Stellelement in Form eines Stellrads 11 auf, das an einer Innenseite der frontseitigen Gehäusewandung 4a der Gehäusestruktur 4 um eine Drehachse S2 drehbeweglich gelagert ist. Hierzu weist das Stellrad 11, das als kreisförmige Scheibe gestaltet ist, eine konzentrisch angeordnete Lagerprofilierung 13 auf, der im Bereich der Innenseite der frontseitigen Gehäusewandung 4a der Gehäusestruktur 4 eine komplementäre Lagerprofilierung 12 zugeordnet ist. Die beiden Lagerprofilierungen 12 und 13 sind miteinander verrastbar unter Bildung eines konzentrisch angeordneten Drehlagers für das Stellrad 11. Dem Stellrad 11 ist in der frontseitigen Gehäusewandung 4a das Sichtfenster 12 zugeordnet. Das scheibenförmige Stellrad 11 ist im Bereich seiner der Innenseite der frontseitigen Gehäusewandung 4a zugewandten Frontseite mit in Drehrichtung hintereinander angeordneten, sich jeweils über ein Drittel der Frontfläche des Stellrads 11 erstreckenden Produktindikationsabschnitten 11a, 11b, 11c versehen, die unterschiedlich gestaltet sind. Die unterschiedliche Gestaltung kann durch unterschiedliche Farben, durch unterschiedliche Beschriftungen oder anders gestaltete Kennzeichnungen erfolgen, die insgesamt drei unterschiedliche Flüssigprodukte kennzeichnen. Beim dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Produktindikationsabschnitt 11a zur Kennzeichnung eines Desinfektionsmittels, der Produktindikationsabschnitt 11b zum Signalisieren einer Seife, d.h. einer Waschlotion, und der Produktindikationsabschnitt 11c zum Signalisieren einer Pflegelotion vorgesehen. Das durch die Lagerprofilierungen 12 und 13 gebildete Drehlager ist derart oberhalb des Sichtfensters 12 an der frontseitigen Gehäusewandung 4a positioniert, dass jeweils ein Produktindikationsabschnitt 11a, 11b oder 11c in das Sichtfenster 12 hineingedreht werden kann. Die Einstellung des Stellrads 11 erfolgt bei geöffneter Gehäusestruktur 4 von Hand durch eine entsprechende Bedienperson. Die Abmessungen des Sichtfensters 12 und die Abmessungen der entsprechenden Produktindikationsabschnitte 11a, 11b, 11c sind derart aufeinander abgestimmt, dass ein entsprechender Produktindikationsabschnitt 11a das Sichtfenster 12 rückseitig voll ausfüllen kann.The dosing dispenser 1 also has an adjustment device for displaying the type of liquid product installed in the dosing dispenser 1 . The control device has a rotatably mounted control element in the form of a control wheel 11, which is mounted on an inner side of the front housing wall 4a of the housing structure 4 such that it can rotate about an axis of rotation S 2 . For this purpose, the adjusting wheel 11, which is designed as a circular disk, has a concentrically arranged bearing profile 13, to which a complementary bearing profile 12 is assigned in the area of the inside of the front housing wall 4a of the housing structure 4. The two bearing profiles 12 and 13 can be locked together to form a concentrically arranged pivot bearing for the adjusting wheel 11. The adjusting wheel 11 is assigned the viewing window 12 in the front housing wall 4a. In the region of its front side facing the inside of the front housing wall 4a, the disc-shaped setting wheel 11 is provided with product indication sections 11a, 11b, 11c which are arranged one behind the other in the direction of rotation and each extend over a third of the front surface of the setting wheel 11, which are designed differently. The different design can take place through different colors, through different inscriptions or differently designed markings, which identify a total of three different liquid products. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the product indication section 11a is provided for identifying a disinfectant, the product indication section 11b for signaling a soap, ie a washing lotion, and the product indication section 11c for signaling a care lotion. The rotary bearing formed by the bearing profiles 12 and 13 is positioned above the viewing window 12 on the front housing wall 4a such that a product indication section 11a, 11b or 11c can be rotated into the viewing window 12. The adjusting wheel 11 is set with the housing structure 4 open by hand by an appropriate operator. The dimensions of the viewing window 12 and the dimensions of the corresponding product indication sections 11a, 11b, 11c are matched to one another in such a way that a corresponding product indication section 11a can completely fill out the rear of the viewing window 12.

Wenn demzufolge eine Bedienperson die Gehäusestruktur 4 öffnet, um ein Flüssigproduktbehältnis 3 mit einem flüssigen Desinfektionsmittel zu montieren, dreht die Bedienperson das Stellrad 11 so, dass der zugeordnete Produktindikationsabschnitt "Desinfektion" durch das Sichtfenster 12 hindurch erkennbar ist. Um dieses Flüssigproduktbehältnis 3 gegen ein anderes Flüssigproduktbehältnis 3 mit einer anderen Spezifikation auszutauschen, wird das erste Flüssigproduktbehältnis 3 entfernt und das zweite Flüssigproduktbehältnis 3 mit der anderen Spezifikation montiert und zusätzlich das Stellrad 11 zu dem Produktindikationsabschnitt hin verdreht, der der Spezifikation des neu eingesetzten Flüssigproduktbehältnisses 3 entspricht.Accordingly, when an operator opens the housing structure 4 to mount a liquid product container 3 with a liquid disinfectant, the operator turns the adjusting wheel 11 so that the associated product indication section “disinfection” can be seen through the viewing window 12 . In order to exchange this liquid product container 3 for another liquid product container 3 with a different specification, the first liquid product container 3 is removed and the second liquid product container 3 with the different specification is installed and the adjusting wheel 11 is also turned towards the product indication section that corresponds to the specification of the newly used liquid product container 3 is equivalent to.

Um das Stellrad 11 in der entsprechenden Spezifikationsstellung zu sichern, sind dem Stellrad 11 einerseits für jeden Produktindikationsabschnitt Rastprofilierungen 15 zugeordnet. Zum anderen weist die Gehäusestruktur 4 im Bereich der Innenseite der frontseitigen Gehäusewandung 4a unterhalb des Sichtfensters 12 eine komplementäre Rastprofilierung 14 auf, die eine kraftbegrenzte Sicherung der jeweiligen, dem Produktindikationsabschnitt 11a, 11b, 11c des Stellrads 11 zugeordnete Rastprofilierung 15 ermöglicht. Die Bedienperson dreht demzufolge das Stellrad 11 abhängig von dem jeweils montierten Flüssigproduktbehältnis 3 so weit, bis das Stellrad 11 relativ zu den gehäusestrukturseitigen Rastprofilierungen 14 einrastet. Durch einfaches Überdrücken des Rastwiderstands kann bei einem erneuten Wechsel des Flüssigprodukts die Sicherung des Stellrads 11 gelöst und das Stellrad 11 bis zu dem zugehörigen Produktindikationsabschnitt 11a, 11b, 11c verdreht werden. Dort rastet das Stellrad 11 erneut ein.In order to secure the adjusting wheel 11 in the corresponding specification position, locking profiles 15 are assigned to the adjusting wheel 11 on the one hand for each product indication section. On the other hand, the housing structure 4 has a complementary locking profile 14 in the area of the inside of the front housing wall 4a below the viewing window 12, which enables a force-limited securing of the respective locking profile 15 assigned to the product indication section 11a, 11b, 11c of the setting wheel 11. The operator accordingly turns the setting wheel 11 depending on the respectively mounted liquid product container 3 until the setting wheel 11 engages relative to the latching profiles 14 on the housing structure. By simply overpressing the latching resistance, when changing the liquid product again, the securing of the adjusting wheel 11 can be released and the adjusting wheel 11 can be rotated up to the associated product indication section 11a, 11b, 11c. There, the setting wheel 11 engages again.

Die Ausführungsform gemäß den Fig. 3 bis 5 weist eine Gehäusestruktur 4' auf, die alternativ zu der Gehäusestruktur 4 gemäß den Fig. 1 und 2 für einen Dosierspender 1 gemäß den Fig. 1 und 2 einsetzbar ist und dabei in gleicher Weise mit der Trägerstruktur 2 verbindbar ist, wie dies für die Gehäusestruktur 4 gemäß den Fig. 1 und 2 bereits beschrieben wurde. Zur Vermeidung von Wiederholungen wird daher ergänzend auf die Ausführungen zu der Ausführungsform gemäß den Fig. 1 und 2 verwiesen. Funktionsgleiche oder baugleiche Abschnitte und Teile der Gehäusestruktur 4' werden mit gleichen Bezugszeichen unter Hinzufügung eines Hochstrichs versehen. Ergänzend wird darauf hingewiesen, dass anhand der Fig. 3 bis 5 Teilbereiche einer Verriegelungseinrichtung V' dargestellt sind, die in identischer Weise bei der Verriegelungsvorrichtung V gemäß der Ausführungsform nach den Fig. 1 und 2 vorgesehen sind. Auf die Verriegelungseinrichtung V' wird im Laufe der nachfolgenden Beschreibung der Ausführungsform gemäß den Fig. 3 bis 5 eingegangen. Die Ausführungen gelten demgemäß analog für die Ausführung nach den Fig. 1 und 2.The embodiment according to Figures 3 to 5 has a housing structure 4 ', which is alternative to the housing structure 4 according to the 1 and 2 for a dosing dispenser 1 according to the 1 and 2 can be used and can be connected to the support structure 2 in the same way as is the case for the housing structure 4 according to FIGS 1 and 2 has already been described. In order to avoid repetition, the comments on the embodiment according to FIGS 1 and 2 referred. Sections and parts of the housing structure 4' that are functionally identical or structurally identical are provided with the same reference numbers with the addition of a prime. In addition, it is pointed out that based on Figures 3 to 5 parts of a Locking device V 'are shown in an identical manner in the locking device V according to the embodiment of the 1 and 2 are provided. The locking device V 'is in the course of the following description of the embodiment according to the Figures 3 to 5 received. The statements apply accordingly to the version according to 1 and 2 .

Nachfolgend wird auf die maßgeblichen Unterschiede der Gehäusestruktur 4' gegenüber der Gehäusestruktur 4 eingegangen.The relevant differences between the housing structure 4' and the housing structure 4 are discussed below.

Die Stelleinrichtung zum Anzeigen der Art des im Dosierspender 1 montierten Flüssigproduktes weist ein Stellrad 11' auf, das in gleicher Weise an einer Innenseite einer frontseitigen Gehäusewandung 4'a der Gehäusestruktur 4' gelagert ist wie das Stellrad 11 gemäß der Ausführungsform nach den Fig. 1 und 2. Entsprechend komplementäre Lagerprofilierungen 12' und 13' sind anhand der Fig. 3 bis 5 erkennbar. Das Stellrad 11' ist in gleicher Weise gestaltet wie das Stellrad 11 mit dem Unterschied, dass den drei Rastprofilierungen 15' für jeden Produktindikationsabschnitt des Stellrades 11' insgesamt drei komplementäre Rastprofilierungen 14' an der Innenseite der frontseitigen Gehäusewandung 4'a zugeordnet sind, die gehäusefest positioniert sind. Die drei komplementären Rastprofilierungen 14' sind relativ zu der nicht näher bezeichneten Drehachse des Stellrades 11' in gleichmäßigen Abständen in Umfangsrichtung verteilt zueinander angeordnet, um eine komplementäre Verrastung aller drei Rastprofilierungen 15' des Stellrades 11' zu ermöglichen. Bei einem Verdrehen des Stellrades 11' rasten alle drei Rastprofilierungen 15' zunächst aus den gehäuseseitigen Rastprofilierungen 14' aus, um nach einem entsprechenden Verdrehen um 120° in die jeweils nächste gehäuseseitige Rastprofilierung 14' einzurasten.The adjusting device for displaying the type of liquid product installed in the dosing dispenser 1 has an adjusting wheel 11′, which is mounted on an inside of a front housing wall 4′a of the housing structure 4′ in the same way as the adjusting wheel 11 according to the embodiment according to FIGS 1 and 2 . According to complementary bearing profiles 12 'and 13' are based on Figures 3 to 5 recognizable. The adjusting wheel 11' is designed in the same way as the adjusting wheel 11, with the difference that the three locking profiles 15' for each product indication section of the adjusting wheel 11' are assigned a total of three complementary locking profiles 14' on the inside of the front housing wall 4'a, which are fixed to the housing are positioned. The three complementary locking profiles 14' are distributed relative to the unspecified axis of rotation of the setting wheel 11' at equal distances from one another in the circumferential direction in order to enable complementary locking of all three locking profiles 15' of the setting wheel 11'. When the adjusting wheel 11' is turned, all three locking profiles 15' first snap out of the locking profiles 14' on the housing, in order to snap into the respective next locking profile 14' on the housing after a corresponding rotation of 120°.

Die Gehäusestruktur 4' weist - erkennbar anhand der Fig. 4 - innenseitig in einem Bodenbereich der Gehäusestruktur 4' erkennbare Rast- und Führungsprofilierungen für die Verriegelungseinrichtung V' auf, die mit komplementären Führungs- und Rastabschnitten an der Trägerstruktur des Dosierspenders 1 (Fig. 1 und 2) zusammenwirken. Das Zusammenwirken erfolgt derart, dass nach dem Montieren der Gehäusestruktur 4' an der Trägerstruktur die Gehäusestruktur 4' für entsprechende Pumpbewegungen durch manuelle Betätigung um die durch die Halterungen H definierte Schwenkachse möglich ist, gleichzeitig aber ein Lösen der Gehäusestruktur 4' von der Trägerstruktur im Bodenbereich der Gehäusestruktur 4' vermieden wird. Die Gehäusestruktur 4' ist demzufolge an der Trägerstruktur in ihrem unteren Bereich gesichert.The housing structure 4 'has - recognizable from the 4 - On the inside in a bottom area of the housing structure 4 'recognizable latching and guiding profiles for the locking device V', which with complementary guiding and latching sections on the support structure of the dosing dispenser 1 ( 1 and 2 ) work together. The interaction takes place in such a way that after the housing structure 4' has been mounted on the support structure, the housing structure 4' is possible for corresponding pumping movements by manual actuation about the pivot axis defined by the holders H, but at the same time the housing structure 4' can be detached from the support structure in the floor area of the housing structure 4' is avoided. The housing structure 4' is consequently secured to the support structure in its lower area.

Die Gehäusestruktur 4' weist zudem analog zu der Gehäusestruktur 4 eine mechanische Anzeigeeinrichtung auf, die einen Füllstand eines an der Trägerstruktur (Fig. 1 und 2) gehaltenen Flüssigproduktbehältnisses anzeigt. Auch hier wird ergänzend auf die Ausführungen zu der mechanischen Anzeigeeinrichtung gemäß der Ausführungsform nach den Fig. 1 und 2 verwiesen, um Wiederholungen bezüglich der Ausführungsform gemäß den Fig. 3 bis 5 zu vermeiden. Auch bezüglich aller Teile und Abschnitte der mechanischen Anzeigeeinrichtung werden die gleichen Bezugszeichen verwendet wie bei der Ausführungsform nach den Fig. 1 und 2, jedoch unter Hinzufügung eines Hochstrichs '. Nachfolgend wird auf die Unterschiede der mechanischen Anzeigeeinrichtung gemäß den Fig. 3 bis 5 eingegangen:
Die Anordnung des Tasters 6' und die Abstützung an einer entsprechenden frontseitigen Behältniswandung eines Flüssigproduktbehältnisses entspricht der zuvor beschriebenen Ausführungsform. Ein Unterschied ist es aber, dass der Taster 6' an einer geradlinig gestalteten Schwenklagerbrücke 7' angeformt ist, die in geringem Abstand hinter dem Stellrad 11' positioniert ist. Entsprechende Lageraufnahmen L' sind seitlich neben dem Stellrad 11' an der Innenseite der frontseitigen Gehäusewandung 4'a angeformt. Die entsprechende Schwenklagerbrücke 7' ist als zumindest im Wesentlichen zylindrische Stange ausgeführt und in einfacher Weise in die Lageraufnahmen L eingerastet. Von der Schwenklagerbrücke 7' ragen in gleicher Weise zwei Gewichtsarme 8' ab wie bei der Ausführungsform gemäß den Fig. 1 und 2. Wesentlicher Unterschied bei der Ausführungsform gemäß den Fig. 3 bis 5 ist es, dass einstückig angeformte Fahnenabschnitte 9' vorgesehen sind, die vom jeweiligen Gewichtsarm 8' aus nicht nach oben - wie die Ausführungsform gemäß den Fig. 1 und 2 -, sondern nach unten erstreckt sind. Anhand der Fig. 5 ist erkennbar, dass der jeweilige Fahnenabschnitt 9' in seiner Kontur dreieckartig gestaltet ist. Auch bei der Ausführungsform nach den Fig. 3 bis 5 bilden der Taster 6', die Schwenklagerbrücke 7', die Gewichtsarme 8' und die Fahnenabschnitte 9' ein einstückiges Kunststoffbauteil. In Fig. 5 ist die Stellung des Tasters 6' und der Fahnenabschnitte 9' gezeigt, in der das Flüssigproduktbehältnis, d. h. die Kunststoffflasche, vollständig entleert ist. Der jeweilige Fahnenabschnitt 9' verdeckt demzufolge in dieser Stellung innenseitig das Sichtfenster 10' vollständig. Das die Fahnenabschnitte 9' umfassende Kunststoffbauteil ist bei der Ausführungsform gemäß den Fig. 3 bis 5 vollständig in einer Signalfarbe wie Signalorange oder Signalrot eingefärbt. Die Schwenkbewegung der Fahnenabschnitte 9' relativ zu den Sichtfenstern 10' erfolgt so, dass bei einem allmählichen Entleeren des Flüssigproduktbehältnisses, bei dem der Taster 6' der sich deformierenden Wandung des Flüssigproduktbehältnisses folgt, der jeweilige Fahnenabschnitt 9' von oben und von einer Rückseite her sich allmählich hinter das jeweilige Sichtfenster 10' schiebt, so dass das Sichtfenster 10' zunächst vollkommen frei ist, solange das Flüssigproduktbehältnis voll ist. Bei einem allmählichen Entleeren bewegt sich eine Vorderkante des Fahnenabschnittes 9', die in Fig. 5 rechts gezeigt ist, von der in Fig. 5 linken Seite des Sichtfensters 10' aus allmählich nach rechts, wodurch das Sichtfenster 10' zunächst teilweise und schlussendlich vollständig durch die Signalfarbe des Fahnenabschnittes 9' ausgefüllt ist.The housing structure 4′ also has, analogously to the housing structure 4, a mechanical display device which indicates the fill level of a 1 and 2 ) held liquid product container. Here, too, reference is made to the explanations regarding the mechanical display device according to the embodiment according to FIGS 1 and 2 referred to repetitions regarding the embodiment according to the Figures 3 to 5 to avoid. Also with regard to all parts and sections of the mechanical display device, the same reference numbers are used as in the embodiment according to FIGS 1 and 2 , but with the addition of a prime '. The following is the differences of the mechanical display device according to the Figures 3 to 5 received:
The arrangement of the button 6' and the support on a corresponding front container wall of a liquid product container corresponds to the previously described embodiment. One difference, however, is that the button 6' is formed on a straight pivot bearing bridge 7', which is positioned at a small distance behind the setting wheel 11'. Corresponding bearing mounts L' are formed laterally next to the setting wheel 11' on the inside of the front housing wall 4'a. The corresponding pivot bearing bridge 7' is designed as an at least essentially cylindrical rod and snaps into the bearing mounts L in a simple manner. Two weight arms 8' protrude from the pivot bearing bridge 7' in the same way as in the embodiment according to FIGS 1 and 2 . Essential difference in the embodiment according to Figures 3 to 5 is that one-piece molded lug sections 9 'are provided, which from the respective weight arm 8' not up - like the embodiment according to the 1 and 2 - but are extended downwards. Based on figure 5 it can be seen that the respective lug section 9' has a triangular contour. Also in the embodiment according to Figures 3 to 5 form the button 6 ', the pivot bearing bridge 7', the weight arms 8 'and the lug sections 9' a one-piece plastic component. In figure 5 shows the position of the button 6' and the tab sections 9', in which the liquid product container, ie the plastic bottle, is completely emptied. In this position, the respective tab section 9' therefore completely covers the viewing window 10' on the inside. In the embodiment according to FIGS Figures 3 to 5 colored completely in a signal color such as signal orange or signal red. The pivoting movement of the lug sections 9' relative to the viewing windows 10' takes place in such a way that when the liquid product container is gradually emptied, with the button 6' following the deforming wall of the liquid product container, the respective lug section 9' moves from above and from a rear side gradually behind the respective viewing window 10 'pushes, so that the viewing window 10' is initially completely free, as long as the liquid product container is full. With a gradual emptying moves a front edge of the flag portion 9 ', the in figure 5 shown at right, from the in figure 5 left side of the viewing window 10' gradually to the right, whereby the viewing window 10' is first partially and finally completely filled with the signal color of the flag section 9'.
