  • Patent number: 11884477
    Abstract: A valve for dispensing a fluid from a container and a dispensing apparatus with such a valve are proposed. The valve has a spring device for returning a valve element to a closed position, the spring device being integral with the valve element. The spring device has a contact area for contact with a counterface of a valve body, the contact area forming an elevation of an outer surface of the spring device. The spring device and the counterface are in point contact with each other in any position of the valve element. The materials of the contact area and the counterface are matched to each other in such a way that they slide silently on each other. A seal of the valve is made of polyethylene or a thermoplastic elastomer. The valve is preferably designed as a full plastic valve and is easily recyclable.

  • Publication number: 20240001386
    Abstract: A dispensing device for dispensing a fluid is proposed. The dispensing device comprises an outer housing and a conveying device for conveying the fluid from a container. At a channel opening of an outlet channel, the dispensing device may have a rotatable dispensing element, wherein by rotation different dispensing forms of the fluid, in particular as a spray or as a foam, can be set and/or the channel opening can be closed. In particular, the dispensing element may comprise a passage opening with an injection-molded grid made of plastic. Furthermore, the outer housing preferably has a multi-part structure with a dividing plane extending transversely to a central axis of the conveying device. Preferably, the conveying device comprises a conveyor housing which is completely accommodated in the outer housing and/or is formed integrally or as a structural unit with the outlet channel. Furthermore, a dispenser for dispensing a fluid comprising a container and a dispensing device is proposed.

  • Publication number: 20240001387
    Abstract: A dispensing device for dispensing a fluid is proposed. The dispensing device has a conveying device for conveying the fluid from a container, which can be actuated by means of an actuating lever, the actuating lever being lockable against undesired actuation by means of a locking device. For unlocking, the actuating lever is preferably displaceably mounted. The dispensing device may additionally comprise a securing device which secures the actuating lever against unlocking by means of the locking device. Furthermore, a dispenser for dispensing a fluid with a container and a dispensing device is proposed.
