Description
"Vorrichtung zur Aufnahme einer in das Innere eines Toilettenbeckens oder dergl. abzugebenden gelför igen WirkstoffZubereitung""Device for receiving a gel-form active substance preparation to be dispensed into the interior of a toilet bowl or the like"
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Aufnahme einer in das Innere eines Toilettenbeckens oder dergl. abzugebenden gelförmigen WirkstoffZubereitung mit einem Aufnahmebehältnis für die gelformige WirkstoffZubereitung.The invention relates to a device for receiving a gel-like active substance preparation to be dispensed into the interior of a toilet bowl or the like, with a receptacle for the gel-like active substance preparation.
Vorrichtungen dieser Art sind in unterschiedlichen Ausgestaltungen bekannt. Üblicherweise sind sie zur Aufnahme und Abgabe einer WirkstoffZubereitung in ein Toilettenbecken mit einem im Toilettenbecken vorzugsweise unter dessen Rand anzuordnenden, eine Abgabeöffnung aufweisenden Aufnahmebehälter für die WirkstoffZubereitung und mit einem Trägerelement mit Halterung zur Befestigung am Toilettenbecken versehen, wobei der Aufnahmebehälter am Trägerelement gehalten ist. Die Gestaltung dieser häufig auch als WC-Körbchen bezeichneten Vorrichtungen ist unterschiedlich, was zunächst daran liegt, dass die WirkstoffZubereitung selbst in unterschiedlicher Form vorliegen kann, sie kann sowohl fest als auch flüssig oder gelförmig sein. Diese unterschiedlichen Produkte bedingen bereits unterschiedliche Konstruktionen für die zu verwendende Vorrichtung. Unabhängig von den unterschiedlichen Produkten sind in der Praxis jedoch auch sonst eine Vielzahl von Vorrichtungen mit unterschiedlichen Formgestaltungen bekannt, die sich insbesondere hinsichtlich der geometrischen Konturen, Durchbruchstrukturen zur Wirkstoffabgäbe usw. unterscheiden, was dadurch bedingt ist, dass das jeweilige Produkt möglichst unverwechselbar gemacht werden soll.Devices of this type are known in different configurations. They are usually provided for receiving and delivering an active substance preparation into a toilet bowl with a receptacle for the active substance preparation, which is preferably arranged under the edge of the toilet bowl and has a dispensing opening, and with a carrier element with holder for attachment to the toilet bowl, the receptacle being held on the carrier element. The design of these devices, which are often also referred to as toilet baskets, is different, which is initially due to the fact that the active substance preparation itself can be present in different forms; it can be either solid, liquid or gel. These different products already require different designs for the device to be used. Regardless of the different products, in practice there are also a large number of Devices with different shapes are known, which differ in particular with regard to the geometric contours, breakthrough structures for drug delivery, etc., which is due to the fact that the respective product should be made as unique as possible.
Allen diesen bekannten Vorrichtungen sind jedoch eine Reihe von Nachteilen gemeinsam. So benötigen solche WC-Körbchen im Toilettenbecken einen nicht unbeachtlichen Raum, was bei einer Anzahl von Anwendern zum einen als visuelle Beeinträchtigung empfunden wird und zum anderen das Reinigen des Toilettenbeckens erschwert. Ferner sind solche Vorrichtungen häufig, zumindest bei flüssigen und gelförmigen Wirkstoffzubereitungen, als Nachfüllvorrichtungen ausgelegt, das Nachbzw. Wiederbefüllen des Aufnahmebehältnisses ist jedoch vielen Anwendern unangenehm. Weiterer Nachteil dieser bekannten Vorrichtungen ist, dass sie nach gewisser Anwendungszeit verschmutzen und dann unansehnlich aussehen, so dass häufig ein Nachkauf erforderlich wird.However, all these known devices have a number of disadvantages in common. Such toilet baskets in the toilet bowl require a not inconsiderable space, which on the one hand is perceived as a visual impairment by a number of users and on the other hand makes cleaning the toilet bowl more difficult. Furthermore, such devices are often designed, at least in the case of liquid and gel-like active substance preparations, as refill devices, the refill. However, refilling the receptacle is uncomfortable for many users. Another disadvantage of these known devices is that after a certain period of use they become dirty and then look unsightly, so that a subsequent purchase is often necessary.
Außer diesen gattungsgemäßen Vorrichtungen sind für andere Produkte auch Behälter bekannt, die stick-, pasten- bzw. gelformige Produkte aufnehmen, um sie mehr oder weniger konvenient applizieren zu können, z.B. Tuben, Stifte (Lippenstifte, Klebestifte), Spender (Cremes, Zahncremes usw.) sowie Roller (beispielsweise Deoroller) . Diese Behälter sind jedoch für den WC-Bereich unzulänglich, insbesondere ist die Restentleerung problematisch. Darüber hinaus ist im Bereich der WC-Hygiene bei Applikatoren, die mehrfach benutzt werden, eine Kontaminierungsgefahr des Produktes, des Behältnisses und des Applikators nicht auszuschließen.In addition to these generic devices, containers are also known for other products that hold stick, paste or gel products in order to be able to apply them more or less conveniently, e.g. tubes, pens (lipsticks, glue sticks), dispensers (creams, toothpastes, etc .) and scooter (e.g. deodorant roller). However, these containers are inadequate for the toilet area, in particular the residual emptying is problematic. In addition, in the area of toilet hygiene for applicators that are used multiple times, a risk of contamination of the product, the container and the applicator cannot be ruled out.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es deshalb, eine gattungsgemäße Vorrichtung so zu verbessern, dass die gelformige Wirkstoffzubereitung vor der Einbringung in ein Toilettenbecken oder dergl. zuverlässig vor Umwelteinflüssen geschützt ist und gleichwohl auf leicht handhabbare Weise in einem Toilettenbecken oder dergl. angeordnet werden kann.It is therefore the object of the invention to improve a generic device in such a way that the gel-like active substance preparation is reliably protected against environmental influences before being introduced into a toilet bowl or the like and can nevertheless be arranged in an easily manageable manner in a toilet bowl or the like.
Diese Aufgabe wird bei einer Vorrichtung der eingangs bezeichneten Art erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass die wasser- und luftdicht ausgebildeten Wandungen des Aufnahmebehältnisses innenseitig nicht haftend ausgebildet sind, und dass das Aufnahmebehältnis eine mit einem Verschluss versehene Öffnung aufweist, die so dimensioniert ist, dass der Öffnungsrand gegen eine Wandfläche des Toilettenbeckens drückbar und die gesamte WirkstoffZubereitung zur Anhaftung an der Wandfläche des Toilettenbeckens vollständig aus dem Aufnahmebehältnis herausdrückbar ist. Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung dient somit, anders als bekannte gattungsgemäße WC-Körbchen, nicht als Abgabeeinrichtung für die gelformige WirkstoffZubereitung im Toilettenbecken oder dergl., sondern nur zur Aufnahme der WirkstoffZubereitung vor der erstmaligen Anordnung und außerdem als Handhabungshilfe zur Anordnung der gelförmigen WirkstoffZubereitung im Toilettenbecken. Dazu wird nach dem Öffnen des Verschlusses die Vorrichtung mit ihrem Öffnungsrand gegen eine Wandfläche des Toilettenbeckens gedrückt und durch äußere Druckanwendung die gesamte WirkstoffZubereitung aus der Vorrichtung herausgedrückt, die dann anschließend an der Wandfläche anhaftet. Die WirkstoffZubereitung ist dabei vor Öffnen der Vorrichtung vor Umwelteinflüssen geschützt im wasser- und luftdicht ausgebildeten Aufnahmebehältnis angeordnet, die Produktentnahme ist einfach und vollständig, da die Innenwandungen des Aufnahmebehältnisses nicht haftend ausgebildet sind. Das Nichtanhaften kann über geeignete Beschichtungen und/oder geeignete Additive im Werkstoff erzielt werden.This object is achieved according to the invention in a device of the type mentioned at the outset in that the walls of the receptacle, which are designed to be water-tight and airtight, are non-adhesive on the inside, and in that the receptacle has an opening which is provided with a closure and is dimensioned such that the opening edge can be pressed against a wall surface of the toilet bowl and the entire active ingredient preparation for adherence to the wall surface of the toilet bowl can be pushed completely out of the receptacle. The device according to the invention thus, unlike known generic toilet baskets, does not serve as a delivery device for the gel-like active substance preparation in the toilet bowl or the like, but only for receiving the active substance preparation before the initial arrangement and also as a handling aid for arranging the gel-like active substance preparation in the toilet bowl. For this purpose, after opening the closure, the opening edge of the device is pressed against a wall surface of the toilet bowl and the entire preparation of active substance is pressed out of the device by external pressure, which then adheres to the wall surface. The active substance preparation is arranged in a water-tight and airtight manner in the receptacle before opening the device from environmental influences, the product removal is simple and complete, since the inner walls of the receptacle are non-adhesive. The non-adherence can be achieved by means of suitable coatings and / or suitable additives in the material.
Gegenüber bekannten WC-Körbchen erfolgt somit eine weitest- gehend nicht sichtbare Produktanwendung (körbchenlos) , welche das optische Erscheinungsbild des Toilettenbeckens nicht oder nur sehr gering beeinträchtigt. Außerdem ist eine einfache, hygienische, kontaminierungsfreie Applikation mit einer oder beiden Händen des Anwenders möglich, anders als bei bekannten Applikatoren. Ferner ist aufgrund der Ausbildung der Vorrichtung der Verpackungsanteil gegenüber bekannten WC- Körbchen deutlich reduziert.Compared to known toilet baskets, there is therefore a largely invisible product application (without baskets), which does not or only slightly affects the visual appearance of the toilet bowl. In addition, a simple, hygienic, contamination-free application with one or possible with both hands of the user, in contrast to known applicators. Furthermore, due to the design of the device, the packaging proportion is significantly reduced compared to known toilet baskets.
Um die Produktentnahme zu vereinfachen, ist bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass das Aufnahmebehältnis in Richtung zur Öffnung einstülpbar ist. Dazu ist das Aufnahmebehältnis so gestaltet, dass es beim Andruckvorgang in Andruckrichtung seine Formstabilität verliert. Nach dem Anhaften des Produktes am Beckenrand kann das Behältnis entgegen der Andruckrichtung leicht entfernt und dann entsorgt werden.In order to simplify product removal, it is preferably provided that the receptacle can be inserted in the direction of the opening. For this purpose, the receptacle is designed so that it loses its dimensional stability during the pressing process in the pressing direction. After the product has adhered to the edge of the pool, the container can be easily removed against the pressure direction and then disposed of.
Die Handhabung der Vorrichtung kann noch weiter dadurch verbessert werden, dass das Aufnahmebehältnis ein stab- oder griffartiges Handhabungselement aufweist. Dieses ist dabei bevorzugt an der der Öffnung gegenüberliegenden Seite des Aufnahmebehältnisses angeordnet. Dies erleichtert das Andrücken bzw. Anbringen der WirkstoffZubereitung am Toilettenrand, gleichzeitig ist ein sicherer Abstand zum Auftragsort an der Wandung des Toilettenbeckens gewährleistet, so dass der Anwender nicht mit der WirkstoffZubereitung in Handkontakt gerät .The handling of the device can be further improved in that the receptacle has a rod-like or handle-like handling element. This is preferably arranged on the side of the receptacle opposite the opening. This makes it easier to press or attach the active ingredient preparation to the edge of the toilet, while at the same time ensuring a safe distance from the place of application on the wall of the toilet bowl, so that the user does not come into contact with the active ingredient preparation.
Bevorzugt kann das Handhabungselement lösbar am Aufnahmebehält- nis befestigt sein, es kann dann mehrfach verwendet werden.The handling element can preferably be detachably attached to the receptacle. nis attached, it can then be used multiple times.
Nach einer ersten bevorzugten Ausgestaltung ist vorgesehen, dass das Aufnahmebehältnis aus Kunststoff, vorzugsweise aus Kunststofffolie, ganz besonders bevorzugt als thermisch verformte Kunststofffolie/Blister ausgebildet ist. Bei dieser Gestaltung ist bevorzugt der Verschluss als dicht mit dem Aufnahmebehältnis verbundene abziehbare Folie ausgebildet. Auch die Verschlussfolie ist selbstverständlich sowohl wasserdampf- als auch luftdicht und ist peelfähig mit dem Aufnahmebehältnis dicht verbunden.According to a first preferred embodiment, it is provided that the receptacle is made of plastic, preferably of plastic film, very particularly preferably as a thermally deformed plastic film / blister. In this configuration, the closure is preferably designed as a peelable film that is tightly connected to the receiving container. The sealing film is of course both water vapor and airtight and is peel-tightly connected to the receptacle.
Alternativ dazu kann das Aufnahmebehältnis auch als formge- presster folienkaschierter Karton oder als Kunststoffspritz- gießteil ausgebildet sein oder aus einer verformten Aluminiumfolie gebildet sein.As an alternative to this, the receptacle can also be designed as a compression-molded film-laminated cardboard or as a plastic injection molded part, or it can be formed from a deformed aluminum foil.
Dementsprechend kann auch der Verschluss anders ausgebildet sein, er kann verschweißt, verschraubt, verklebt oder auch verprellt sein.Accordingly, the closure can also be designed differently, it can be welded, screwed, glued or also bounced.

Eine Vorrichtung zur Aufnahme einer gelförmigen WirkstoffZubereitung ist in Figur 1 allgemein mit 1 bezeichnet. Diese Vorrichtung 1 weist ein mit 2 bezeichnetes Aufnahmebehältnis auf, dessen Wandungen 3 wasser- und luftdicht ausgebildet sind. Innenseitig sind die Wandungen 3 nicht haftend ausgebildet, beispielsweise durch eine Antihaftbeschichtung oder durch geeignete Additive im Werkstoff. Die Form des Aufnahme- behältnisses 2 ist beim Ausführungsbeispiel kalottenförmig, wobei es im Bereich mit seinem größten Durchmesser, d.h. im Sinne der Figur 5, an der Oberseite eine Öffnung 4 aufweist, deren umlaufender Öffnungsrand mit 5 bezeichnet ist. Diese Öffnung ist mit einem dichten Verschluss 6 versehen, beispielsweise einer Verschlussfolie, die zum Öffnen des Aufnahmebehältnisses 2 abgerissen werden kann. Die Innenseite der Verschlussfolie 6 ist dabei ebenfalls nicht haftend ausgebildet.A device for receiving a gel-like active substance preparation is generally designated 1 in FIG. This device 1 has a receptacle labeled 2, the walls 3 of which are water and airtight. On the inside, the walls 3 are non-adhesive, for example by means of a non-stick coating or by means of suitable additives in the material. The shape of the receptacle 2 is dome-shaped in the exemplary embodiment, it having an opening 4 at the top in the area with its largest diameter, ie in the sense of FIG. 5, whose circumferential opening edge is designated 5. This opening is provided with a tight closure 6, for example a closure film, which can be torn off to open the receptacle 2. The inside of the closure film 6 is also non-adhesive.
Die Öffnung 4 ist so dimensioniert, dass der Öffnungsrand 5 gegen eine Wandfläche 7 eines allgemein mit 8 bezeichneten Toilettenbeckens (Figur 6) drückbar ist. Ferner ist sie so dimensioniert, dass eine innerhalb des Aufnahmebehältnisses 2 befindliche gelformige WirkstoffZubereitung vollständig durch die Öffnung 4 zur Anhaftung an der Wandfläche 7 des Toilettenbeckens 6 aus dem Aufnahmebehältnis 2 herausdrückbar ist.The opening 4 is dimensioned such that the opening edge 5 can be pressed against a wall surface 7 of a toilet bowl generally designated 8 (FIG. 6). Furthermore, it is dimensioned such that a gel-like active substance preparation located within the receptacle 2 can be pushed out of the receptacle 2 completely through the opening 4 for attachment to the wall surface 7 of the toilet bowl 6.
Um diesen Ausdrückvorgang zu erleichtern, ist das Aufnahmebehältnis 2 bevorzugt in Richtung zur Öffnung hin einstülpbar. Dazu ist beispielsweise eine umlaufende Einkerbung 9 oder Materialschwächung des Aufnahmebehältnisses 2 angrenzend an dessen Bodenbereich vorgesehen.In order to facilitate this pushing-out process, the receptacle 2 can preferably be inserted in the direction of the opening. For this purpose, for example, a circumferential notch 9 or material weakening of the receptacle 2 is provided adjacent to the bottom area thereof.
An der der Öffnung 4 gegenüberliegenden Seite ist am Aufnahmebehältnis 2 ein Handhabungsansatz 10 vorgesehen, auf den vorzugsweise lösbar ein stab- bzw. griffförmiges Handhabungs- element 11 aufgesteckt werden kann. Dazu ist das Innere des Handhabungselementes 11 hohl ausgebildet, dieser Hohlraum ist in Figur 4 mit 12 bezeichnet. Das Handhabungselement 11 kann somit auf einfache Weise auf den Handhabungsansatz 10 des Aufnahmebehältnisses 2 aufgesteckt werden.On the side opposite the opening 4, a handling attachment 10 is provided on the receiving container 2, onto which a rod-shaped or handle-shaped handling element 11 can be plugged on. For this purpose, the interior of the handling element 11 is hollow, this cavity is designated by 12 in FIG. The handling element 11 can thus be simply plugged onto the handling attachment 10 of the receptacle 2.
Vor dem Verschließen des Aufnahmebehältnisses 2 mit einer Verschlussfolie 6 oder dergl. wird in dieses Aufnahmebehältnis 2 eine gelformige WirkstoffZubereitung abgefüllt, anschließend wird die Vorrichtung 1 verschlossen. Die gelformige WirkstoffZubereitung kann in der Vorrichtung 1, d.h. im Aufnahmebehältnis 2, beliebig lange aufbewahrt werden, ohne dass sich die Eigenschaften derselben verändern, da die Wandungen wasser- und luftdicht ausgebildet sind.Before the receptacle 2 is closed with a sealing film 6 or the like, a gel-like active substance preparation is filled into this receptacle 2, and then the device 1 is closed. The gel-like active substance preparation can be in device 1, i.e. in the receptacle 2, can be kept for any length of time without changing the properties thereof, since the walls are water and airtight.
