Abstract: The dispenser (1) is configured to couple with a container (100) containing at least one chemical agent (101) and to dispense the chemical agent (101) when the dispenser (1) has been coupled with the container (100). The container (100) may be introduced into a receiving space (5) of the dispenser (1) into a coupling position. The dispenser (1) has a sensor (7) for the contact-free detection of container information or container content information and an occupancy sensor (8), which detects whether a container (100) that has been inserted into the receiving space (5) is in the coupling position. Only when the container (100) is in the coupling position, then the occupancy sensor (8) will activate the sensor (7) for the contact-free detection of container information or container content information, which detects in the activated state the container information or container content information and examines the correctness thereof.

Abstract: A detergent concentrate includes: (i) 22 to 46% by weight alkali metal hydroxide, (ii) 5 to 50% by weight dispersing agent, chelating agent or a combination thereof, (iii) 0 to 5% by weight tenside, (iv) 0 to 5% by weight excipients and (v) 28 to 39% by weight water, wherein the detergent concentrate is a suspension. Also disclosed are methods of production therefor.

Abstract: Refill for a dispenser, with a material web wound to form a roll and at least one substantially axially adjustable bearing journal. The at least one substantially axially adjustable bearing journal is adjustable substantially axially outwards away from the roll starting from a defined inner end position in which it protrudes axially beyond the roll. A bearing unit for such a refill, and a dispenser for housing the refill and dispensing the material web are also provided.

Abstract: A container has an opening lying in a plane, wherein the opening is provided on a connecting piece of the container. A closure of the container can be removed by displacement in the plane. At least one guide element is provided on the connecting piece, on or in which the closure can be displaced relative to the container. The closure has at least one recess on at least one of its outer surfaces.

Abstract: A closure element to be inserted into a container opening includes a cylinder having at least one lateral opening and a piston displaceable and sealed in the cylinder. In a starting position, the piston prevents the discharge of a flowable medium out of the container. The piston diameter is larger than the cylinder diameter and the cylinder is adapted to be elastically expandable at least in a region corresponding to a displacement length of the piston. A container which is filled with a flowable medium and which is provided with a closure element is also provided.

Abstract: A coupling device having an integrated stopcock for placement in a flow connection between a first line and a second line includes a carrier body having a connection for the second line, a plug part having a connection for the first line, and a rotary part being rotatable by the plug part, disposed in the carrier body between the connections and having an opening. The two connections are connected for flow through the opening in a rotated end position of the rotary part. A plug-and-rotate lock is formed between the plug part and the carrier body. The plug part is detachably plugged into the rotary part and can be rotated in the carrier body together with the rotary part. A device for supplying a flowable substance from a container to a discharge point is also provided.

Abstract: A dispensing system has a dispenser for sections of a material web wound onto a roll. A support bar is provided, on each end, a bearing journal protruding out from the roll. At least one of the two bearing journals has a mating surface which is not designed as a rotational surface. The dispenser has a guide for each bearing journal that extends to a dispensing position. A counter surface for the mating surface is provided at the beginning of the guide for each bearing journal that has the mating surface. The insertion of the roller into the dispenser is only possible if the mating surface coincides with the counter surface, which extends to in the dispensing position. The roller is rotatably arranged about the central area of the supporting rod, which does not rotate in the dispensing position.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of hand disinfectants to disinfect hands without the negative effects of ethanol-based hand disinfectants. The hand disinfectants contain at least 40 weight percent of water and at least one dissolving ether, wherein the at least one dissolving ether is an ether that has a molecular weight greater than 107 daltons, a melting point less than 303 K, and a boiling point greater than 373 K, the solubility in water of the ether being at least 50%, wherein the ether reduces the solubility of calcium adducts and magnesium adducts of proteins and of amino sugars in water at least to a half, preferably to a third, especially preferably to a fourth, in particular to a fifth. Said hand disinfectants can be used as monoalcohol-free hand disinfectants.
