Dispenser and dosing subassembly for dosing of a medium
A dispenser for a liquid or pulverulent, in particular a pharmaceutical medium with a medium reservoir, is provided for single-handed operation. The dispenser includes a dosing opening and is bounded in some sections by wall sections of flexible design, and by a dimensionally stable holding plate, which is provided as a handle for the application of actuating forces to the medium reservoir.
1. Dispenser for at least one liquid or pulverulent, the dispenser including a medium reservoir provided for single-handed operation and a dosing opening, the medium reservoir being bounded at least in some sections by wall sections of flexible design and by at least one dimensionally stable holding plate provided as a handle for the application of actuating forces to the medium reservoir, the dosing opening being formed on a dosing nozzle, the dosing nozzle having a center longitudinal axis arranged at an angle of 35 degrees relative to an outer surface of the holding plate in order to ensure ergonomic handling of the dispenser.
2. Dispenser according to claim 1 , wherein the dosing opening is provided in a separate dosing subassembly fitted on the dosing nozzle, the dosing nozzle being assigned to the holding plate and configured as a receiving shaft.
3. Dispenser according to claim 2 , including at least one centrally arranged latching device for locking the dosing subassembly with a form fit in the dosing nozzle.
4. Dispenser according to claim 3 , wherein the latching device has at least one latching geometry on at least one of an inner surface and an outer surface of the dosing nozzle and a latching pin arranged coaxially with respect to the center longitudinal axis of the dosing nozzle, the latching geometry and latching pin being provided for centering and fixing the dosing subassembly in the dosing nozzle.
5. Dispenser according to claim 2 , wherein the dosing subassembly has a spring-loaded outlet valve for temporarily closing the dosing opening.
6. Dispenser according to claim 2 , wherein a drip edge for conducting away drops of medium without any residue is provided on the dosing nozzle or the dosing subassembly in the region of the dosing opening.
7. Dispenser according to claim 1 , wherein the medium reservoir is bounded by two dimensionally stable holding plates arranged opposite each other, the dosing nozzle being assigned to one of the holding plates.
8. Dispenser according to claim 1 , wherein the medium reservoir is formed integrally with the holding plate.
9. Dispenser for at least one liquid or pulverulent, the dispenser including a medium reservoir provided for single-handed operation and a dosing opening, the medium reservoir being bounded at least in some sections by wall sections of flexible design and by at least one dimensionally stable holding plate provided as a handle for the application of actuating forces to the medium reservoir, the dispenser further including a dimensionally stable collar coupled to the holding plate, the collar being provided on a peripheral edge region of one of the wall sections of the medium reservoir, the edge region facing the holding plate.
10. Dispenser according to claim 9 , further including a peripheral holding ring for coupling the holding plate to the collar with a form fit, the holding ring engaging around respective end regions of the holding plate and the collar and coupling the end regions to each other in a sealing manner.
11. Dispenser according to claim 10 , wherein the end regions of the holding plate and the collar are each provided with a reduced wall thickness, and the holding ring is molded onto the end regions to provide a cohesive material joint between the holding ring and the end regions.
12. Dispenser for at least one liquid or pulverulent, the dispenser including a medium reservoir provided for single-handed operation and a dosing opening, the medium reservoir being bounded at least in some sections by wall sections of flexible design and by at least one dimensionally stable holding plate provided as a handle for the application of actuating forces to the medium reservoir, the dispenser further including pressure equalizing means for permitting ambient air to flow into the media reservoir, the pressure equalizing means being arranged in a wall region of the media reservoir such that the pressure equalizing means is surrounded on the media reservoir side by medium when the dispenser is actuated.
13. Dispenser according to claim 12 , wherein the pressure equalizing means includes a filtering membrane for filtering microbiological impurities.
14. Dispenser for at least one liquid or pulverulent, the dispenser including a medium reservoir provided for single-handed operation and a dosing opening, the medium reservoir being bounded at least in some sections by wall sections of flexible design and by at least one dimensionally stable holding plate provided as a handle for the application of actuating forces to the medium reservoir, the wall sections of the medium reservoir being produced at least in some sections as a bellows of polyethylene with a wall thickness of 0.25 mm to 0.5 mm, and the medium reservoir is provided in the region of the bellows, on at least one of an inner and an outer surface of the medium reservoir, with a water vapor barrier layer in the form of a silicon oxide coating or a poly-para-xylylene coating.
