- the object of the invention is to provide a detergent dispenser, by the application of the cleaning agent, a special visual effect can be caused in the user.
- the detergent dispenser according to the invention has at least two receiving cylinders which are each filled with a different cleaning agent.
- at least two receiving cylinders are each filled with a cleaning agent of different color.
- the receiving cylinder each have an open end and a discharge opening opposite thereto for dispensing the cleaning agent.
- the detergent dispenser according to the invention further comprises at least two pistons for axial insertion into the first open end of a respective receiving cylinder.
- the cleaning agent located in the respective receiving cylinder is displaced and the cleaning agent is forced out of the dispensing opening.
- the detergent dispenser has a confuser element which tapers in the distal direction in its cross-section and which is arranged distally of the dispensing openings of the receiving cylinder. Furthermore, the detergent dispenser has a distal cylindrical output nozzle for dispensing the detergent, which is characterized by the specified in the characterizing part of claim 1, asymmetric cross-section.
- An element which according to the invention is to be arranged distally is located behind a proximally arranged element in the direction of flow of the cleaning agent. The cylindrical dispensing nozzle is thus the most distal element of the detergent dispenser according to the invention.

Due to the removable configuration of the Konfusorelements and the nozzle, it is possible, for example, the receiving cylinder in To fill the production process from its distal end. During the filling process, the pistons can thus already be introduced into the cylinders. It is preferred that the different cleaning agents located in the at least two receiving cylinders have no contact with one another before they enter the confuser element.
- the cylindrical dispensing nozzle has a cross section which is symmetrical in a first plane and an asymmetrical cross section in a second plane which is perpendicular to the first plane.
- the output has a cylindrical shape, which may not be a circular cylindrical shape, for example, in view of the asymmetry in cross section required in claim 1. Due to the various geometric configurations of the cylindrical dispensing nozzle extruded profiles can be realized with different shapes.
- the volume of the receiving cylinder is in each case between 20 ml and 100 ml.
- the cleaning agents are pasty and have a viscosity of 20,000 to 60,000 mPas.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Reinigungsmittel-Spender.The invention relates to a detergent dispenser.
Bei einem solchen Reinigungsmittel kann es sich beispielsweise um ein Gel handeln, das eine pastöse Form aufweist und beispielsweise durch einen Applikator an die Innenseite einer Toilettenschüssel angebracht werden kann, um so eine Reinigung oder Desinfektion der Toilette zu erreichen. Ein derartiger Applikator bzw. eine derartige Dosiervorrichtung ist bekannt aus
Nachteilig an einer derartigen Dosiervorrichtung ist, dass durch sie lediglich ein einziges Reinigungsmittel verwendet werden kann. Somit wird dieses einzige Reinigungsmittel auch nur eine einzige Farbe aufweisen können; Mehrfach-Austragspender mit mindestens zwei kolbenbewährten Aufnahmezylindern sind aus
Die Lösung der Aufgabe erfolgt erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1.The object is achieved according to the invention by the features of claim 1.
Der erfindungsgemäße Reinigungsmittelspender weist mindestens zwei Aufnahmezylinder auf, die jeweils mit einem unterschiedlichen Reinigungsmittel gefüllt sind. Bevorzugt sind mindestens zwei Aufnahmezylinder mit jeweils einem Reinigungsmittel mit unterschiedlicher Farbe gefüllt.The detergent dispenser according to the invention has at least two receiving cylinders which are each filled with a different cleaning agent. Preferably, at least two receiving cylinders are each filled with a cleaning agent of different color.
Die Aufnahmezylinder weisen je ein offenes Ende und eine diesem gegenüber liegende Ausgabeöffnung zur Ausgabe der Reinigungsmittels auf.The receiving cylinder each have an open end and a discharge opening opposite thereto for dispensing the cleaning agent.
Der erfindungsgemäße Reinigungsmittelspender weist ferner mindestens zwei Kolben zum axialen Einführen in das erste offene Ende jeweils eines Aufnahmezylinders auf. Beim Einführen der mindestens zwei Kolben in die mindestens zwei Aufnahmezylinder erfolgt ein Verdrängen des in dem jeweiligen Aufnahmezylinder befindlichen Reinigungsmittels und ein Herauspressen des Reinigungsmittels aus der Ausgabeöffnung.The detergent dispenser according to the invention further comprises at least two pistons for axial insertion into the first open end of a respective receiving cylinder. When the at least two pistons are inserted into the at least two receiving cylinders, the cleaning agent located in the respective receiving cylinder is displaced and the cleaning agent is forced out of the dispensing opening.
Erfindungsgemäß weist der Reinigungsmittelspender ein sich in distaler Richtung in seinem Querschnitt verjüngendes Konfusorelement auf, das distal der Ausgabeöffnungen der Aufnahmezylinder angeordnet ist. Ferner weist der Reinigungsmittelspender eine sich hieran distal anschließende zylindrische Ausgabedüse zur Ausgabe des Reinigungsmittels auf, welche durch den im kennzeichnenden Teil von Anspruch 1 spezifizierten, asymmetrischen Querschnitt charakterisiert ist. Ein Element, das erfindungsgemäß distal angeordnet sein soll, befindet sich in Fließrichtung des Reinigungsmittels hinter einem proximal angeordneten Element. Die zylindrische Ausgabedüse ist somit das am weitesten distal angeordnete Element des erfindungsgemäßen Reinigungsmittelspenders.According to the invention, the detergent dispenser has a confuser element which tapers in the distal direction in its cross-section and which is arranged distally of the dispensing openings of the receiving cylinder. Furthermore, the detergent dispenser has a distal cylindrical output nozzle for dispensing the detergent, which is characterized by the specified in the characterizing part of claim 1, asymmetric cross-section. An element which according to the invention is to be arranged distally is located behind a proximally arranged element in the direction of flow of the cleaning agent. The cylindrical dispensing nozzle is thus the most distal element of the detergent dispenser according to the invention.
Erfindungsgemäß ist es somit möglich, in den mindestens zwei Aufnahmezylindern Reinigungsmittel mit unterschiedlichen Farben oder auch unterschiedlichen Reinigungseigenschaften aufzunehmen. Beispielsweise kann eines der Reinigungsmittel vorwiegend eine Reinigungswirkung aufweisen, während ein anderes Reinigungsmittel vorwiegend eine Duftwirkung entfalten kann. Somit ist es möglich, mindestens zwei verschiedene Reinigungsmittel, die zum Beispiel unterschiedliche Farben und/oder unterschiedliche Reinigungungs-/Dufteigenschaften aufweisen mit einem einzigen Appliziervorgang mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Reinigungsmittelspender zu applizieren. Das Vorsehen von mehreren Spendern, um Reinigungsmittel mit verschiedenen Eigenschaften zu applizieren ist nicht notwendig. Auch kann mit einem einzigen Appliziervorgang ein besonderer optischer Effekt erreicht werden.According to the invention it is thus possible to include in the at least two receiving cylinders detergent with different colors or different cleaning properties. For example, one of the cleaning agents may predominantly have a cleaning effect, while another cleaning agent may develop a predominantly odor effect. Thus, it is possible to have at least two different cleaning agents, which, for example, different colors and / or different cleaning / fragrance properties have to apply with a single application process with the detergent dispenser according to the invention. The provision of multiple dispensers to apply detergents with different properties is not necessary. Also, a single optical effect can be achieved with a single application.
Dieser besondere optische Effekt besteht darin, dass die mindestens zwei unterschiedlichen Reinigungsmittel die zylindrische Ausgabedüse ebenfalls in zylindrischer Form verlassen werden und somit beispielsweise die Form eines Strangprofils aufweisen können, wenn sie auf einen Gegenstand, beispielsweise die Innenseite einer Toilettenschüssel appliziert werden. Hierdurch lassen sich interessante optische Effekte erzielen. Beispielsweise kann durch eine Kombination von Reinigungsmittel mit gewissen Farben eine bestimmte Wirkung beim Benutzer erzielt werden, da ein Benutzer verschiedene Farben von Reinigungsmitteln mit unterschiedlichen Eigenschaften assoziiert und gewisse Farbkombinationen somit als besonders positiv wahrgenommen werden und somit verkaufsfördernd sein können. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung ist es möglich, derartige Farbkombinationen mit einem einzigen Reinigungsspender zu applizieren.This particular optical effect consists in that the at least two different cleaning agents also leave the cylindrical dispensing nozzle in a cylindrical shape and thus can, for example, have the shape of an extruded profile when applied to an object, for example the inside of a toilet bowl. As a result, interesting optical effects can be achieved. For example, a combination of cleaning agents with certain colors may provide a certain user effect, since a user associates different colors of cleaning agents with different properties, and thus certain color combinations may be perceived as being particularly positive and thus promote sales. By the device according to the invention it is possible to apply such color combinations with a single cleaning dispenser.
Ein wesentlicher Vorteil des erfindungsgemäßen Reinigungsmittelspenders ist, dass es möglich ist, das Reinigungsmittel in einer genau definierten geometrischen Form zu applizieren, unabhängig davon, wie viel Reinigungsmittel aus der zylindrischen Ausgabedüse herausgepresst wird. Wird beispielsweise eine größere Menge an Reinigungsmittel aus der zylindrischen Ausgabedüse herausgepresst, so führt dies lediglich dazu, dass die Länge des herausgepressten Reinigungsmittelstrangprofils vergrößert wird. Die grundsätzlichen geometrischen Eigenschaften des Strangprofils bleiben jedoch erhalten.A significant advantage of the detergent dispenser according to the invention is that it is possible to apply the detergent in a well-defined geometric shape, regardless of how much detergent is pressed out of the cylindrical dispensing nozzle. If, for example, a larger amount of cleaning agent is pressed out of the cylindrical dispensing nozzle, this merely results in that the length of the extruded detergent extruded profile is increased. However, the basic geometric properties of the extruded profile are retained.
Das erfindungsgemäße Konfusorelement dient dazu einen Übergang zu schaffen zwischen dem relativ großen Gesamtquerschnitt der mindestens zwei Aufnahmezylinder und dem verglichen hierzu kleineren Querschnitt der zylindrischen Ausgabedüse. Hierzu ist das sich verjüngende Konfusorelement zwischen den Aufnahmezylindern und der zylindrischen Ausgabedüse angeordnet und verjüngt sich somit beginnend an seinem proximalen Ende vom Gesamtquerschnitt aller Aufnahmezylinder zu seinem distalen Ende hin bis hin zum Querschnitt der zylindrischen Ausgabedüse.The confuser element according to the invention serves to create a transition between the relatively large overall cross section of the at least two receiving cylinders and the compared to this smaller cross section of the cylindrical dispensing nozzle. For this purpose, the tapered Konfusorelement between the receiving cylinders and the cylindrical dispensing nozzle is arranged and thus tapers, starting at its proximal end of the total cross section of all receiving cylinder to its distal end through to the cross section of the cylindrical dispensing nozzle.
Es ist wichtig, dass die Ausgabedüse eine zylindrische Form aufweist, um eine unkontrolliertes Vermischen der unterschiedlichen Reinigungsmittel, die aus den mindestens zwei Aufnahmezylindern in den Konfusor treten, zu verhindern und anstelle dessen zu erreichen, dass die verschiedenen Reinigungsmittel klar voneinander getrennt in einem in seinen geometrischen Eigenschaften klar definierten Strangprofil aus der Ausgabedüse heraustreten. Nur so können die besonderen optischen Eigenschaften des Reinigungsmittel-Strangs erreicht werden.It is important that the dispensing nozzle has a cylindrical shape to prevent uncontrolled mixing of the different detergents entering the confuser from the at least two receiving cylinders, and instead to achieve that the various detergents are clearly separated from each other in one geometric properties clearly defined extruded profile emerge from the dispensing nozzle. Only in this way can the special optical properties of the cleaning agent strand be achieved.
Es ist bevorzugt, dass der sich verjüngende Teil des Konfusors eine minimale axiale Länge von 2 mm aufweist.It is preferable that the tapered part of the confuser has a minimum axial length of 2 mm.
Weiterhin ist es bevorzugt, dass die zylindrische Ausgabedüse eine minimale axiale Länge von mindestens 2 mm aufweist.Furthermore, it is preferred that the cylindrical dispensing nozzle has a minimum axial length of at least 2 mm.
Es ist ferner bevorzugt, dass der Konfusor und die zylindrische Ausgabedüse einstückig ausgebildet sind. Weiterhin können sie von den Aufnahmezylindern abnehmbar sein. Hierzu kann beispielsweise das Konfusorelement beispielsweise an seinem proximalen Ende einen umlaufenden Befestigungsansatz aufweisen, der beispielsweise mit Hilfe einer Rastvorrichtung formschlüssig mit dem distalen Ende der Aufnahmezylinder verbunden wird. Durch die abnehmbare Ausgestaltung des Konfusorelements und der Düse ist es beispielsweise möglich die Aufnahmezylinder im Produktionsprozess von ihrem distalen Ende aus zu befüllen. Beim Befüllvorgang können somit die Kolben bereits in die Zylinder eingeführt sein. Es ist bevorzugt, dass die in den mindestens zwei Aufnahmezylindern befindlichen unterschiedlichen Reinigungsmittel vor ihrem Eintritt in das Konfusorelement keinen Kontakt zueinander haben. Hierdurch ist es möglich eine besonders klar definierte Trennung der insbesondere unterschiedlich farbigen Reinigungsmittel im applizierten Reinigungsmittel-Strang zu erreichen. Anders ausgedrückt ist es möglich zu verhindern, dass sich die Reinigungsmittel im ausgegebenen Strang vermischen. Erfindungsgemäss ist dabei vorgesehen, dass die zylindrische Ausgabedüse einen in einer ersten Ebene symmetrischen Querschnitt und einen in einer zur ersten Ebene senkrecht angeordneten zweiten Ebene einen asymmetrischen Querschnitt aufweist.It is further preferred that the confuser and the cylindrical dispensing nozzle are integrally formed. Furthermore, they may be removable from the receiving cylinders. For this purpose, for example, the Konfusorelement have, for example, at its proximal end a circumferential attachment approach, which is positively connected, for example by means of a locking device with the distal end of the receiving cylinder. Due to the removable configuration of the Konfusorelements and the nozzle, it is possible, for example, the receiving cylinder in To fill the production process from its distal end. During the filling process, the pistons can thus already be introduced into the cylinders. It is preferred that the different cleaning agents located in the at least two receiving cylinders have no contact with one another before they enter the confuser element. This makes it possible to achieve a particularly well-defined separation of the particular differently colored cleaning agent in the applied detergent strand. In other words, it is possible to prevent the detergents from mixing in the dispensed strand. According to the invention, it is provided that the cylindrical dispensing nozzle has a cross section which is symmetrical in a first plane and an asymmetrical cross section in a second plane which is perpendicular to the first plane.
Grundsätzlich ist es möglich durch die abnehmbare Ausgestaltung des Konfusorelements und der Ausgabedüse verschiedene geometrische Ausgestaltungen für eine Ausgabedüse vorzusehen. Wichtig ist hierbei, dass die Ausgabe eine zylindrische Form aufweist, wobei es sich mit Blick auf die in Anspruch 1 geforderte Asymmetrie im Querschnitt beispielsweise nicht um eine kreiszylindrische Form handeln darf. Durch die verschiedenen geometrischen Ausgestaltungen der zylindrischen Ausgabedüse können Strangprofile mit unterschiedlichen Formen realisiert werden.In principle, it is possible to provide various geometric configurations for an ejection nozzle by virtue of the detachable configuration of the confuser element and the dispensing nozzle. It is important here that the output has a cylindrical shape, which may not be a circular cylindrical shape, for example, in view of the asymmetry in cross section required in claim 1. Due to the various geometric configurations of the cylindrical dispensing nozzle extruded profiles can be realized with different shapes.
Es ist weiterhin bevorzugt, dass das Volumen der Aufnahmezylinder jeweils zwischen 20 ml und 100 ml beträgt.It is further preferred that the volume of the receiving cylinder is in each case between 20 ml and 100 ml.
Weiterhin ist es bevorzugt, dass die Reinigungsmittel pastös ausgebildet sind und eine Viskosität von 20.000 bis 60.000 mPas aufweisen.Furthermore, it is preferred that the cleaning agents are pasty and have a viscosity of 20,000 to 60,000 mPas.
