  • Patent number: 9352348
    Abstract: A dispenser including a medium reservoir, a discharge opening, and a feeding device for feeding medium from the medium reservoir to the discharge opening, wherein an actuating handle is displaceable relative to the medium reservoir in an actuation direction to discharge medium. The dispenser includes a protective device with two partial shells interconnected in a protective condition by a coupling device for repeated decoupling and coupling wherein the protective device is attachable to the feeding device in a protective position such that in the protective condition the accessibility and/or maneuverability of the actuating handle is prevented, and upon releasing the coupling device an enable condition of the protective device is achievable in which the partial shells are displaceable relative to another so that the protective device is removable from the feeding device, and thus accessibility or maneuverability of the actuating handle is obtainable thereby.

  • Patent number: 9233384
    Abstract: A dispenser for discharging liquids with a liquid reservoir for accommodating the liquid prior to being discharged, and a liquid outlet passage which leads to a liquid outlet opening through which the liquid reservoir communicates with a surrounding atmosphere. In a use position, the liquid outlet opening is arranged below the liquid reservoir such that the liquid flows on account of the weight thereof in the direction of the liquid outlet opening, and the liquid outlet passage in the use position does not simultaneously permit air to enter the liquid reservoir and liquid to exit into the surrounding atmosphere. In order to reduce the internal volume of the dispenser and therefore to effect a discharge of liquid, a slide is pushed manually in an actuating direction from a stroke starting position into a stroke end position.

  • Patent number: 9168551
    Abstract: Discharging apparatus for liquid, pasty or pulverulent media having a housing, a discharging opening, a reservoir for storing the medium prior to being discharged, and a handle which causes medium to be delivered from the reservoir to the discharging opening, wherein the discharging apparatus has an electric load and a converter for converting the mechanical energy introduced at the handle into electrical energy for supplying the electric load. Mechanical energy introduced at the handle is fed to the converter by a transmission unit. The linear movement of the handle or of a stressing member of a spring energy store, which can be subjected to stressing by means of the handle, is converted into a non-rotary oscillating movement of a pendulum member, wherein the converter is designed for converting the mechanical energy of the oscillating pendulum member into electrical energy.
