Abstract

What is being proposed is a dispensing device for a preferably cosmetic liquid and a manufacturing method. A first material is pretreated in areas through the application of a coating or embossing foil such that a second material which is injection-molded directly against it does not bond with the first material in the pretreated area but rather can be detached again.

Claims (20)

1. A method for manufacture of a dispensing device for a liquid, wherein a first material is pretreated at least in areas and wherein a second material is injection-molded directly against the pretreated first material and thus chemically or solidly joined therewith, with the two materials not being joined together in a pretreated area or being detachable from each other in said pretreated area as a result of a pretreatment, wherein the first material is pretreated through an application of a coating, an intermediate layer or a film, and wherein a first component is first injection molded from the first material, wherein the coating or the film is subsequently applied in a desired pretreatment area and wherein, finally, the second material is injection-molded over the coating or the film such that a second component is formed from the second material which is able to detach again from the first component or the coating or the film in the pretreated area and does not lift-off or detach in an area directly covering the first material.

2. The method as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the coating or the film is applied onto the first component through heat-embossing.

3. The method as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the second material is an elastomer and/or a thermoplast.

4. The method as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the first material is a polyolefin.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second component is a valve element.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the coating, the intermediate layer or the film is solidly joined with the first component.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the coating, intermediate layer or the film is not joined with the second component.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first and the second components are solidly joined with each other in a U-shaped area.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first component forms a surface or wall on which the second component seats flatly or with which the second component is joined.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the liquid or a product formed from the liquid can be output from the pretreated area.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the liquid or a product formed from the liquid can be output between the first and second components through corresponding elastic deformation of at least one component.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein an outlet channel for the liquid is formed or opened between the first and second components upon elastic deformation of at least one component.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first and second components form an outlet valve.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first and second components comprise different materials which can be joined together solidly, chemically or tightly through injection-molding.

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the dispensing device has or forms a dispensing head for the liquid or product formed therefrom from a container that is or can be pressurized.

16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the liquid is a cosmetic liquid.

17. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first and second two components are detachable from each other exclusively in the pretreated area.

18. The method of claim 12 , wherein the outlet channel for the liquid is formed or opened only in the pretreated area.

19. The method of claim 1 , wherein the liquid is or forms a foam or gel.

20. The method of claim 15 , wherein the outlet channel for the liquid is formed or opened only in the pretreated area.
