Definitions
- the invention relates to a dosing device for dispensing a flowable material.
- Such a material may, for example, have a tacky consistency, i.e. stick to a surface by itself.
- flowable materials for example gels
- the toilet can be cleaned or disinfected in this way.
- EP 2 361 850 B1 describes a metering device for dispensing a flowable material onto the inside of a toilet bowl. To do this, a piston is inserted into a cylindrical body. Upon insertion, the plunger displaces a flowable material contained within the cylindrical body to be dispensed through a dispensing port.
- the object of the invention is to provide a dosing device for dispensing a flowable material which enables improved application to the inside of a toilet bowl.
- the dosing device has at least two cylindrical bodies, the interior of each of which forms a cavity for receiving the flowable material.
- This flowable material can be, for example, a gel in the colloquial sense or another flowable material with high or low viscosity. It is essential that the flowable material is designed in such a way that it does not automatically emerge from the dosing device and also has a sticky consistency, so that it automatically adheres to the inside of a toilet bowl when it is applied. Furthermore, the material can have such a viscosity that it retains its shape after application, provided it is not deformed by external influences.
- each cylindrical body has a first open end and a discharge opening opposite thereto.
- the cylindrical bodies can, for example, be circular-cylindrical, but can also have other cylindrical shapes.
- the dosing device also has two pistons for axial insertion into the respective first open end of the first and second cylindrical body.
- the introduction is such that the flowable material is displaced by the plunger and pushed out of the dispensing opening.
- the dosing device has at least one first connecting element, by which the at least two cylindrical bodies are connected at a distance from one another in such a way that they can be moved relative to one another.
- the axial cylinder axes of the cylindrical bodies are arranged parallel to one another. This relates to a condition where the metering device is not bent. This is therefore the idle state of the dosing device.
- the cylindrical bodies move relative to one another, so that they can be tilted relative to one another.
- a tilting of the cylinder axes relative to one another can take place in both possible planes. If the tilting takes place in the plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the dosing device, twisting or torsion of the dosing device takes place.
- each of the at least two cylindrical bodies has a spacer extending in the axial direction away from the cylindrical bodies across the at least two dispensing openings extends out so that a cavity is formed in the axial direction between the distal end of the at least one spacer at the at least two dispensing ports.
- spacers are used to be able to place the front end of the dosing device on the inside of a toilet bowl, so that a distance can be maintained in the axial direction from the inside of the toilet bowl to the dispensing opening.
- the free-flowing material can be dispensed into the cavity created here. It is thus ensured that when the flowable material is being applied, no pressure is exerted on the flowable material by the dosing device, so that it can be dispensed in a visually appealing form.
- the spacers can also ensure that the dosing device and in particular the dispensing openings are always positioned at a defined distance from the inside of the toilet bowl while the flowable material is being dispensed.
- each of the at least two cylindrical bodies has at least one projection running in the radial direction on its inner wall at a height spaced apart from the first open end. This serves to better hold the piston in the respective cylinder, so that in particular it does not fall out of the cylinder.
- the at least one spacer is L-shaped, with the short end of the L of the at least one spacer extending radially outwards from the outer lateral surface of the cylindrical body, with the long end of the at least one spacer extending in extends in the axial direction beyond the height of the discharge opening of the cylindrical body.
- the at least two pistons are flexibly connected to one another by at least one second connecting element.
- the pistons and the second connecting element corresponding to the cylinders and the first connecting element can be bent with each other when applying the gel to the inside of the toilet bowl.
- the at least one second connecting element has at least one gripping element. This can in particular be arranged centrally between the at least two pistons.
- the second connecting element can have at least one opening above the at least one piston. These are used for easy production of the second connecting element.
- the second connecting element is preferably made of plastic, with the openings mentioned simplifying the design of the tools that are used for the production of this plastic part. The product can thus be manufactured more cost-effectively.
- the dosing device has at least four cylindrical bodies and at least four pistons. Furthermore, in this embodiment it has at least three connecting elements which are each arranged between two adjacent cylinders. This makes it possible to dispense four free-flowing materials separately, which can also be different materials, for example.
- the first connecting element is preferably flexibly arranged between the first cylindrical body and the second cylindrical body.
- the second connecting element is correspondingly preferably flexibly arranged between the second and the third cylindrical body, while the third connecting element is preferably flexibly arranged between the third and fourth cylindrical body.
- the at least four cylindrical bodies and the at least four pistons are arranged in a row on a straight line.
- other geometric configurations are also possible.
- FIG 1 shows a side view of an embodiment of the metering device 10 according to the invention. This is used to dispense a flowable material 12a - 12d, which is received in four cylindrical bodies 14a - 14d. Each of the cylindrical bodies 14a - 14d has a first open end 16a - 16d as well as a discharge opening 18a - 18d opposite this in the axial direction (see also figures 2 , 5 and 6 ).
- the dosing device 10 also has four pistons 20a-20d for axial insertion into the first open end 16a-16d of a cylindrical body 14a-14d, respectively. This takes place in such a way that the flowable material 12a - 12d is displaced by the four pistons 20a - 20d and pressed out of the dispensing openings 18a - 18d.
- the pistons are connected via the connecting element 21 (see Fig. figure 5 ) flexibly connected to each other.
- This also has two grip elements 22, 23, through which it can be gripped by a user when applying the gel.
- the axial axes of the cylindrical bodies 14a-14d are denoted by Z1-Z4. These run at rest, i.e. in a non-bent state Condition of the dosing device (e.g. according to figure 1 ) parallel to each other.
- the dosing device When the gel is applied by the dosing device according to the invention on the inside of a toilet bowl, the dosing device is bent in such a way that the axes Z1-Z4 no longer run parallel to one another.
- the toilet bowl would be on the right side and have a concave shape. This means that when the dosing device 10 is placed on the inside of the toilet bowl, the spacers 19a, 19b of the outer cylindrical bodies 14a and 14d first come into contact with the toilet bowl.
- the dosing device 10 then bends in such a way that the two inner cylindrical bodies 14b and 14c are pushed forward in the direction of the toilet bowl, while the outer cylindrical bodies 14a, 14d are held back.
- This is preferably made possible by elastic properties of the connecting elements 15a - 15c. It is thus possible for the distal end of each cylindrical body 14a-14d to come into contact with the inside of the toilet bowl even if it has a curved shape.
- the dosing device 10 returns to its original state (namely the state of rest according to figure 1 ) returns, but with the four pistons 20a, 20d fully inserted into the cylindrical bodies 14a-14d.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Dosiervorrichtung zum Ausgeben eines fließfähigen Materials.The invention relates to a dosing device for dispensing a flowable material.
Ein solches Material kann beispielsweise eine klebrige Konsistenz aufweisen, d.h. selbsttätig an einer Oberfläche kleben.Such a material may, for example, have a tacky consistency, i.e. stick to a surface by itself.
Es ist bekannt, fließfähige Materialien, beispielsweise Gels, durch Dosiervorrichtungen an der Innenseite einer Toilettenschüssel anzubringen und so eine Reinigung oder Desinfektion der Toilette zu erreichen.It is known that flowable materials, for example gels, can be attached to the inside of a toilet bowl by dosing devices and the toilet can be cleaned or disinfected in this way.
Nachteilig an dieser Vorrichtung ist, dass sie nur zur Ausgabe eines einzigen fließfähigen Materials geeignet ist.The disadvantage of this device is that it is only suitable for dispensing a single flowable material.
Aus
Beide aus dem Stand der Technik bekannte Vorrichtungen weisen den Nachteil auf, dass das Aufbringen des Gels an der gebogenen Seite einer Toilettenschüssel schwierig ist, da das distale Ende der Dosiervorrichtung (d.h. das Ende, an dem die Ausgabeöffnungen angebracht sind) in einer Ebene verläuft.Both prior art devices have the disadvantage that applying the gel to the curved side of a toilet bowl is difficult because the distal end of the metering device (i.e. the end where the dispensing orifices are attached) is in one plane.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Dosiervorrichtung zum Ausgeben eines fließfähigen Materials bereitzustellen, die eine verbesserte Aufbringung an die Innenseite einer Toilettenschüssel ermöglicht.The object of the invention is to provide a dosing device for dispensing a flowable material which enables improved application to the inside of a toilet bowl.
Die Lösung der Aufgabe erfolgt erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1.The object is achieved according to the invention by the features of claim 1.
Die erfindungsgemäße Dosiervorrichtung weist mindestens zwei zylinderförmige Körper auf, deren Innenraum jeweils einen Hohlraum zur Aufnahme des fließfähigen Materials bildet. Bei diesem fließfähigen Material kann es sich beispielsweise um ein Gel im umgangssprachlichen Sinne oder ein anderes fließfähiges Material mit hoher oder niedriger Viskosität handeln. Wesentlich ist, dass das fließfähige Material derart ausgebildet ist, dass es nicht selbsttätig aus der Dosiervorrichtung heraustritt und ferner eine klebrige Konsistenz aufweist, so dass es beim Applizieren selbsttätig auf der Innenseite einer Toilettenschussel haftet. Ferner kann das Material eine derartige Viskosität aufweisen, dass es nach der Applikation seine Form behält, sofern es nicht durch äußere Einflüsse verformt wird.The dosing device according to the invention has at least two cylindrical bodies, the interior of each of which forms a cavity for receiving the flowable material. This flowable material can be, for example, a gel in the colloquial sense or another flowable material with high or low viscosity. It is essential that the flowable material is designed in such a way that it does not automatically emerge from the dosing device and also has a sticky consistency, so that it automatically adheres to the inside of a toilet bowl when it is applied. Furthermore, the material can have such a viscosity that it retains its shape after application, provided it is not deformed by external influences.
Erfindungsgemäß weist jeder zylindrische Körper ein erstes offenes Ende und diesem gegenüberliegend eine Ausgabeöffnung auf. Die zylindrischen Körper können beispielsweise kreiszylindrisch ausgebildet sein, können jedoch auch andere Zylinderformen aufweisen.According to the invention, each cylindrical body has a first open end and a discharge opening opposite thereto. The cylindrical bodies can, for example, be circular-cylindrical, but can also have other cylindrical shapes.
Die Dosiervorrichtung weist ferner zwei Kolben zum axialen Einführen in das jeweilig erste offene Ende des ersten und zweiten zylindrischen Körpers auf.The dosing device also has two pistons for axial insertion into the respective first open end of the first and second cylindrical body.
Das Einführen erfolgt derart, dass das fließfähige Material durch den Kolben verdrängt und aus der Ausgabeöffnung gedrückt wird.The introduction is such that the flowable material is displaced by the plunger and pushed out of the dispensing opening.
Erfindungsgemäß weist die Dosiervorrichtung mindestens ein erstes Verbindungselement auf, durch das die mindestens zwei zylinderförmigen Körper in einem Abstand zueinander derart verbunden werden, dass sie relativ zueinander beweglich sind.According to the invention, the dosing device has at least one first connecting element, by which the at least two cylindrical bodies are connected at a distance from one another in such a way that they can be moved relative to one another.
Hierdurch ist es möglich, die Form des distalen Endes der Dosiervorrichtung an die gebogene Innenseite einer Toilettenschüssel anzupassen. Hierdurch kann ein genaueres Aufbringen des Gels an die Innenseite der Toilettenschüssel gewährleistet werden, da jede Ausgabeöffnung in einem genau definierten Abstand zur Toilettenschüssel gebracht werden kann. Bei einer Dosiervorrichtung in der die Ausgabeöffnungen in einer Ebene verlaufen, die Innenseite der Toilettenschüssel jedoch gebogen ist, kann dies nicht gewährleistet werden. Die erfindungsgemäße Dosiervorrichtung erlaubt somit ein verbessertes Aufbringen eines Gels an die Innenseite der Toilettenschüssel.This makes it possible to adapt the shape of the distal end of the dosing device to the curved inside of a toilet bowl. In this way, a more precise application of the gel to the inside of the toilet bowl can be ensured, since each dispensing opening can be placed at a precisely defined distance from the toilet bowl. This cannot be guaranteed with a dosing device in which the dispensing openings run in one plane but the inside of the toilet bowl is curved. The dosing device according to the invention thus allows improved application of a gel to the inside of the toilet bowl.
Dies erfolgt bevorzugt dadurch, dass die axialen Zylinderachsen der zylinderförmigen Körper parallel zueinander angeordnet sind. Dies betrifft einen Zustand, in dem die Dosiervorrichtung nicht gebogen ist. Hierbei handelt es sich somit um den Ruhezustand der Dosiervorrichtung. Beim Verbiegen der Dosiervorrichtung erfolgt ein Bewegen der zylinderförmigen Körper relativ zueinander, so dass diese relativ zueinander verkippt werden können. Ein Verkippen der Zylinderachsen zueinander kann in beiden möglichen Ebenen erfolgen. Sofern das Verkippen in der Ebene senkrecht zur Längsrichtung der Dosiervorrichtung erfolgt, findet somit hierbei ein Verwinden bzw. eine Torsion der Dosiervorrichtung statt.This is preferably done in that the axial cylinder axes of the cylindrical bodies are arranged parallel to one another. This relates to a condition where the metering device is not bent. This is therefore the idle state of the dosing device. When the dosing device is bent, the cylindrical bodies move relative to one another, so that they can be tilted relative to one another. A tilting of the cylinder axes relative to one another can take place in both possible planes. If the tilting takes place in the plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the dosing device, twisting or torsion of the dosing device takes place.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform weist jeder der mindestens zwei zylinderförmigen Körper einen Abstandhalter auf, der sich in axialer Richtung von den zylinderförmigen Körpern weg über die mindestens zwei Ausgabeöffnungen hinaus erstreckt, so dass ein Hohlraum in axialer Richtung zwischen dem distalen Ende des mindestens einen Abstandhalters an der mindestens zwei Ausgabeöffnungen gebildet ist.In a preferred embodiment, each of the at least two cylindrical bodies has a spacer extending in the axial direction away from the cylindrical bodies across the at least two dispensing openings extends out so that a cavity is formed in the axial direction between the distal end of the at least one spacer at the at least two dispensing ports.
Diese Abstandhalter dienen dazu, das vordere Ende der Dosiervorrichtung auf die Innenseite einer Toilettenschüssel aufsetzen zu können, so dass ein Abstand in axialer Richtung von der Innenseite der Toilettenschüssel bis zur Ausgabeöffnung eingehalten werden kann. In den hier entstehenden Hohlraum kann das fließfähige Material ausgegeben werden. Es ist somit gewährleistet, dass beim Applizieren des fließfähigen Materials kein Druck durch die Dosiervorrichtung auf das fließfähige Material ausgeübt wird, so dass dieses in einer optisch ansprechenden Form ausgegeben werden kann. Durch die Abstandhalter kann ferner gewährleistet werden, dass die Dosiervorrichtung und insbesondere die Ausgabeöffnungen immer in einem definierten Abstand zur Innenseite der Toilettenschüssel positioniert sind, während das fließfähige Material ausgegeben wird.These spacers are used to be able to place the front end of the dosing device on the inside of a toilet bowl, so that a distance can be maintained in the axial direction from the inside of the toilet bowl to the dispensing opening. The free-flowing material can be dispensed into the cavity created here. It is thus ensured that when the flowable material is being applied, no pressure is exerted on the flowable material by the dosing device, so that it can be dispensed in a visually appealing form. The spacers can also ensure that the dosing device and in particular the dispensing openings are always positioned at a defined distance from the inside of the toilet bowl while the flowable material is being dispensed.
Es ist weiterhin bevorzugt, dass jeder der mindestens zwei zylinderförmigen Körper auf einer Höhe beabstandet vom ersten offenen Ende an seiner Innenwand mindestens einen in radialer Richtung verlaufenden Vorsprung aufweist. Dieser dient einem verbesserten Halten des Kolbens im jeweiligen Zylinder, so dass dieser insbesondere nicht aus dem Zylinder hinausfällt.It is further preferred that each of the at least two cylindrical bodies has at least one projection running in the radial direction on its inner wall at a height spaced apart from the first open end. This serves to better hold the piston in the respective cylinder, so that in particular it does not fall out of the cylinder.
Es ist weiterhin bevorzugt, dass der mindestens eine Abstandhalter eine L-Form aufweist, wobei der mindestens eine Abstandhalter sich mit dem kurzen Ende des L von der äußeren Mantelfläche des zylinderförmigen Körpers radial nach außen erstreckt, wobei sich das lange Ende des mindestens einen Abstandhalters in axialer Richtung über die Höhe der Ausgabeöffnung des zylinderförmigen Körpers hinaus erstreckt.It is also preferred that the at least one spacer is L-shaped, with the short end of the L of the at least one spacer extending radially outwards from the outer lateral surface of the cylindrical body, with the long end of the at least one spacer extending in extends in the axial direction beyond the height of the discharge opening of the cylindrical body.
Es ist weiterhin bevorzugt, dass die mindestens zwei Kolben durch mindestens ein zweites Verbindungselement biegsam miteinander verbunden sind. Hierdurch können die Kolben und das zweite Verbindungselement korrespondierend zu den Zylindern und dem ersten Verbindungselement beim Applizieren des Gels an der Innenseite der Toilettenschüssel miteinander verbogen werden.It is further preferred that the at least two pistons are flexibly connected to one another by at least one second connecting element. Through this the pistons and the second connecting element corresponding to the cylinders and the first connecting element can be bent with each other when applying the gel to the inside of the toilet bowl.
Weiterhin ist es bevorzugt, dass das mindesten eine zweite Verbindungselement mindestens ein Griffelement aufweist. Dieses kann insbesondere mittig zwischen den mindestens zwei Kolben angeordnet sein.Furthermore, it is preferred that the at least one second connecting element has at least one gripping element. This can in particular be arranged centrally between the at least two pistons.
Weiterhin kann das zweite Verbindungselement mindestens eine Öffnung oberhalb des mindestens einen Kolbens aufweisen. Diese dienen der einfachen Herstellung des zweiten Verbindungselements. Das zweite Verbindungselement ist vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff ausgebildet, wobei sich durch die genannten Öffnungen die Ausgestaltung der Werkzeuge, die für die Herstellung dieses Kunststoffteils verwendet werden, einfacher gestaltet. Das Produkt kann somit kostengünstiger hergestellt werden.Furthermore, the second connecting element can have at least one opening above the at least one piston. These are used for easy production of the second connecting element. The second connecting element is preferably made of plastic, with the openings mentioned simplifying the design of the tools that are used for the production of this plastic part. The product can thus be manufactured more cost-effectively.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform weist die Dosiervorrichtung mindestens vier zylinderförmige Körper und mindestens vier Kolben auf. Ferner weist sie in dieser Ausführungsform mindestens drei Verbindungselemente auf, die jeweils zwischen zwei benachbarten Zylindern angeordnet sind. Hierdurch ist es möglich, separat vier fließfähige Materialien, bei denen es sich beispielsweise auch um unterschiedliche Materialien handeln kann, auszugeben.In a preferred embodiment, the dosing device has at least four cylindrical bodies and at least four pistons. Furthermore, in this embodiment it has at least three connecting elements which are each arranged between two adjacent cylinders. This makes it possible to dispense four free-flowing materials separately, which can also be different materials, for example.
Das erste Verbindungselement ist bevorzugt biegsam zwischen dem ersten zylinderförmigen Körper und dem zweiten zylinderförmigen Körper angeordnet. Das zweite Verbindungselement ist entsprechend bevorzugt biegsam zwischen dem zweiten und dem dritten zylinderförmigen Körper angeordnet, während das dritte Verbindungselement bevorzugt biegsam zwischen dem dritten und vierten zylinderförmigen Körper angeordnet ist.The first connecting element is preferably flexibly arranged between the first cylindrical body and the second cylindrical body. The second connecting element is correspondingly preferably flexibly arranged between the second and the third cylindrical body, while the third connecting element is preferably flexibly arranged between the third and fourth cylindrical body.
Weiterhin ist es bevorzugt, dass die mindestens vier zylinderförmigen Körper und die mindestens vier Kolben in einer Reihe auf einer geraden Linie angeordnet sind. Andere geometrische Ausgestaltungen sind jedoch auch möglich.Furthermore, it is preferable that the at least four cylindrical bodies and the at least four pistons are arranged in a row on a straight line. However, other geometric configurations are also possible.
