Dispenser with lid handle
A dispenser for powdery substances contained in a separate package that has a container part with removable container cover, wherein an aspirated air flow is further sucked predominantly through the container part after removal of the container cover from the container part, such that two air flows entering through slits in a lid that can be pivoted around a pivoting axis evacuate the container part from its two ends, and after merging enter a vortex chamber upstream from a mouthpiece. Outside air inlet openings for a third air flow are formed in a housing part covered by the lid in a radial extension to the pivoting axis.
1 . A dispenser ( 1 ) for powdery substances (M) contained in a separate package, wherein the package has a container part ( 14 ) with a removable container cover ( 16 ), wherein the dispenser is configured such that an aspirated air flow is sucked predominantly through the container part ( 14 ) after removal of the container cover ( 16 ) from the container part ( 14 ), the dispenser comprising a housing part ( 10 ) and a lid ( 19 ) covering the housing part and which is pivotable around a pivoting axis (x),
wherein the dispenser ( 1 ) comprises slits ( 29 ) in the lid ( 19 ) that allow air flow to enter through the lid ( 19 ),
wherein the dispenser comprises an internal channel that is configured such that, in use, the air flow entering through the lid is directed into first and second air flows (a, b),
wherein an air portion for accommodating the first air flow is configured to bypass the package and a mass offset air portion for accommodating the second air flow is configured to allow flow through the package,
wherein a unification section ( 32 ) is provided to rejoin the air portion with the mass offset air portion such that the air flows (a, b) merge,
wherein a vortex chamber ( 7 ) upstream from a mouthpiece ( 3 ), is provided and configured to receive the merged flows,
wherein outside air inlet openings ( 57 ) for a third air flow (c) and a removal opening ( 25 ) for removal of the removable container cover ( 16 ) are formed in the housing part ( 10 ) covered by the lid ( 19 ),
wherein, in a lid section allocated to the outside air inlet openings ( 57 ) for the third air flow (c), the lid ( 19 ) is formed with a radial elongation ( 60 ) relative to the pivoting axis (x),
wherein the elongation ( 60 ) simultaneously forms an undergrip protrusion (U) for opening the lid ( 19 ) and freely extends lengthwise beyond an adjacent, unelongated lid section ( 63 ), and a length (p) of the elongation ( 60 ) in relation to the unelongated lid section ( 63 ) corresponds to one fifth or more of the width (e) of the lid ( 19 ),
wherein the radial elongation ( 60 ) is formed relative to the pivoting axis (x) over a width (f) corresponding to 0.35 to 0.4 times the width (e) of the lid ( 19 ), the width (f) measured at an auxiliary line (k) that runs parallel to the pivoting axis (x), and which runs with a longitudinally offset dimension (g) to a front edge surface ( 62 ) of the radial elongation ( 60 ), in a top view of the dispenser, with the offset dimension (g) corresponding to about 0.1 times the width (e) of the lid,
wherein the radial elongation ( 60 ) overhangs all of the outside air inlet openings ( 57 ) provided in the housing part ( 10 ) in a closed lid position but does not overhang the removal opening ( 25 ),
wherein an outer side edge surface ( 65 ) of the elongation ( 60 ) runs continuously into a facing outer wall surface of the lid ( 19 ),
wherein a marginal edge formed by the outer side edge surface ( 65 ) and the facing outer wall surface of the lid ( 19 ), in a top view of the lid ( 19 ), runs along a circular arc with a radius (m),
wherein the front edge surface ( 62 ) curves toward the mouthpiece ( 3 ) in the top view and joins the outer side edge surface ( 65 ) of the marginal edge,
wherein the lid ( 19 ) and the elongation ( 60 ), in a sectional view, define an upperwall surface that has a circular line with a radius (n), and
wherein the radius (n) corresponds to 4 to 6 times of the width (e) of the lid ( 19 ).
2 . The dispenser according to claim 1 , wherein the elongation ( 60 ) is formed as a single piece and/or integrally with the lid ( 19 ).
3 . The dispenser according to claim 1 , wherein the unelongated lid section ( 63 ) formed adjacent to the radial elongation ( 60 ) has an edge surface ( 61 ) that extends over a rear wall ( 26 ), with a length dimension (d′), which corresponds to 0.2 to 0.5 times a length dimension (d), with which the radial elongation ( 60 ) protrudes over the rear wall ( 26 ), with the length dimension (d) corresponding to 0.25 to 0.4 times a lid length (q) removed from the pivoting axis (x) up to the front edge surface ( 62 ) of the radial elongation ( 60 ).
