Abstract

A dispenser has a container and a spreading spring which is in engagement with the inner wall of the container and prevents movement of the sealing piston in a second direction which is opposed to the first direction. The spreading spring is made from synthetic material and has a central part from which a plurality of fingers arranged distributed over the periphery extend radially outwards. Each finger is connected to the central part in a manner articulated at its radially inner end and is in engagement at its radially outer end with the inner wall of the container. The central part and the fingers are constructed in one piece with one another and each finger is connected to the central part by way of a web, wherein in the region of the web a cutout is formed.

Claims (13)

1. A dispenser, the dispenser comprising:

a container having an inner wall defining a product chamber;

a sealing piston, said sealing piston sealing one end of said container, wherein said sealing piston is structured for adjustment, relative to said container, in a first direction; and

a spreading spring, said spreading spring disposed on a side of said sealing piston facing away from said product chamber, said spreading spring engaging said inner wall of said container to prevent movement of said sealing piston in a second direction which is opposed to said first direction, wherein said spreading spring is made from a synthetic material and has a central part from which a plurality of fingers are arranged, distributed over a periphery and extending radially outward, wherein each finger is connected to said central part in a hinged manner at radially inner ends of said fingers and radially outer ends of said fingers engage with said inner wall of said container, said central part and said fingers being constructed in one piece with one another and each finger is connected to said central part via a web, wherein a cutout is formed in a region of said web and a filling material that acts as a restoring spring is introduced into said cutout.

2. The dispenser of claim 1 , wherein said filling material is a synthetic elastomeric material.

3. A dispenser, the dispenser comprising:

a container having an inner wall defining a product chamber;

a sealing piston, said sealing piston sealing one end of said container, wherein said sealing piston is structured for adjustment, relative to said container, in a first direction; and

a spreading spring, said spreading spring disposed on a side of said sealing piston facing away from said product chamber, said spreading spring engaging said inner wall of said container to prevent movement of said sealing piston in a second direction which is opposed to said first direction, wherein said spreading spring is made from a synthetic material and has a central part from which a plurality of fingers are arranged, distributed over a periphery and extending radially outward, wherein each finger is connected to said central part in a hinged manner at radially inner ends of said fingers and radially outer ends of said fingers engage with said inner wall of said container, said central part and said fingers being constructed in one piece with one another and each finger is connected to said central part via a web, wherein a cutout is formed in a region of said web and adjacent fingers are connected to one another by way of a membrane.

4. The dispenser of claim 3 , wherein said membrane is made from a synthetic elastomeric material.

5. The dispenser of claim 1 , wherein said fingers are constructed at radially outer ends in a form of a blade.

6. The dispenser of claim 1 , wherein said fingers are provided with retaining claws at radially outer ends thereof.

7. The dispenser of claim 1 , wherein adjacent fingers are connected to one another by way of a membrane.
