Abstract

A child-proof discharger for media includes a reservoir, a pump part mounted on the reservoir and an actuable discharge portion mounted on the pump part. The discharge portion guided in an axially displaceable manner on a carrier part disposed on the closure element and can be locked with the aid of manually actuable spring bars. The spring bars are configured on an actuating plate configured on the discharge portion, and respectively have an inner tongue, which can be bent radially inwards relative to an inner wall of the carrier part. Each spring bar is respectively assigned a guide ramp as an entry curve to a contact area that is bounded by radial latches of the blocking setting upon a rotary motion of the discharge portion.

Claims (17)

1. A child-proof discharger for media, comprising:

a reservoir;

a pump part mounted on the reservoir in sealed arrangement via a closure element, and

an actuable discharge portion having

an actuating plate and a casing ring extending downward therefrom,

wherein the discharge portion is mounted on the pump part, such that the casing ring is snapped onto a carrier part and is guided in an axially displaceable manner on the carrier part

wherein said discharge portion can be locked with the aid of manually actuable spring bars in at least one blocking setting,

wherein the spring bars are configured and disposed circumferentially in-line with, between, and separated from the casing ring,

wherein the actuating plate is disposed on the discharge portion and each spring bar includes an outer tongue and an inner tongue each connected together via a link, and further wherein the spring bars can each be bent radially inwards relative to an inner wall of the carrier part, and

wherein the spring bars are configured to be bent only when respective links of the spring bars are disposed in a respective slot of the carrier part.

2. The child-proof discharger according to claim 1 wherein the closure element has a pin which extends axially through the carrier part and which reaches into an axial guideway of the discharge portion for axial mounting of the discharge portion on the closure element.

3. The child-proof discharger according to claim 1 wherein each of the respective spring bars has a guide ramp and each guide ramp defines a section which determines a twist angle of the discharge portion in relation to the carrier part in the blocking setting.

4. The child-proof discharger according to claim 1 wherein the guide ramp has an end portion which extends into a contact area of the guide ramp.

5. The child-proof discharger according to claim 1 wherein the guide ramp has a surface widening.

6. The child-proof discharger according to claim 5 wherein the surface widening is formed by an end face of a rib.

7. The child-proof discharger according to claim 1 wherein the closure element can be screwed, flanged or snapped onto a reservoir neck of the reservoir.

8. The child-proof discharger according to claim 7 wherein the closure element surrounds the reservoir neck in a sleeve-like manner.
