Abstract

A dispenser for fluid to pasty masses has a pump chamber that has an outlet valve. The pump chamber consists of an upper pump chamber part and a lower pump chamber part, which can be moved, relative to one another, for a pumping process. In order to prevent unintentional exit of mass under certain stresses such as severe vibrations, the outlet valve is moved into a release position before the beginning of a pumping process, by means of a control part.

Claims (21)

1. A dispenser for fluid to pasty masses, comprising:

a pump chamber that has an upper pump chamber part and a lower pump chamber part, the upper and lower pump chamber parts being movable relative to one another, for a pumping process;

an outlet valve engaging the upper pump chamber part; and

a control part that moves the outlet valve into a release position before beginning the pumping process, wherein the control part is disposed at a vertical distance from the outlet valve before the beginning of the pumping process, and wherein the control part presses the outlet valve down after contacting the outlet valve in the course of the pumping process,

wherein the control part moves the upper pump chamber part from a final pumping position into a starting pumping position.

2. The dispenser according to claim 1 , further comprising an activation part, said activation part being provided to act on the upper pump chamber part, wherein the control part is connected with the activation part.

3. The dispenser according to claim 2 , wherein the activation part is a dispenser head part.

4. The dispenser according to claim 2 , wherein the control part is configured as a mandrel connected with the activation part.

5. The dispenser according to claim 1 , wherein the outlet valve is disposed in the upper pump chamber part, and wherein the upper pump chamber part is movable and the lower pump chamber part is fixed.

6. The dispenser according to claim 1 , wherein the outlet valve is pressed into a closure position, by means of a mass situated in the pump chamber, under pressure, without displacement into the release position when the pump chamber parts are moved toward one another.

7. The dispenser according to claim 1 , wherein the outlet valve has a valve plate and a valve shaft, the valve shaft being disposed to face away from the valve plate, in a dispensing direction.

8. A dispenser for fluid to pasty masses, comprising:

a pump chamber that has an upper pump chamber part and a lower pump chamber part, the upper and lower pump chamber parts being movable relative to one another, for a pumping process;

an outlet valve engaging the upper pump chamber part; and

a control part that moves the outlet valve into a release position before beginning the pumping process, wherein the control part is disposed at a vertical distance from the outlet valve before the beginning of the pumping process, and wherein the control part presses the outlet valve down after contacting the outlet valve in the course of the pumping process,

wherein the outlet valve has a valve plate and a valve shaft, the valve shaft being disposed to face away from the valve plate, in a dispensing direction.

9. The dispenser according to claim 8 , further comprising an activation part, said activation part being provided to act on the upper pump chamber part, wherein the control part is connected with the activation part.

10. The dispenser according to claim 9 , wherein the activation part is a dispenser head part.

11. The dispenser according to claim 9 , wherein the control part is configured as a mandrel connected with the activation part.

12. The dispenser according to claim 8 , wherein the outlet valve is disposed in the upper pump chamber part, and wherein the upper pump chamber part is movable and the lower pump chamber part is fixed.

13. The dispenser according to claim 8 , wherein the outlet valve is pressed into a closure position, by means of a mass situated in the pump chamber, under pressure, without displacement into the release position when the pump chamber parts are moved toward one another.
