  • Patent number: 10835692
    Abstract: A discharging device for a pharmaceutical liquid, dispenser including a housing, an applicator tip with a discharge opening and a protective cap. A locking tooth is provided on the protective cap and a counter tooth is provided on the applicator tip. The at least one locking tooth passes over the counter tooth when the protective cap is rotated relative to the applicator tip in a first direction, and the locking tooth and the counter tooth prevent rotation in a direction opposite the first direction. The protective cap and the applicator tip are adapted to each other such that the discharge opening contacts a lid region of the protective cap after the locking tooth has passed over the counter tooth, and the discharge opening can be closed in a sealed manner by the protective cap. The protective cap is deformable to disengage the locking tooth and the counter tooth.

  • Patent number: 10835014
    Abstract: A liquid dispenser for discharging liquids, in particular in rod shape. The liquid dispenser has a liquid store for receiving liquid prior to discharge, and a discharge opening for discharging the liquid. The liquid dispenser has a pumping device having an actuating surface for manual actuation, by which liquid is conveyed from the liquid store to the discharge opening. The liquid store is provided within an exchangeable container unit, couplable to a main unit including the pumping device (62) and the discharge opening, and is uncouplable therefrom. For the exchangeable coupling of the container unit to the main unit is provided a coupling device, by which the container unit, by pressing against the main unit, is alternately couplable thereto and releasable therefrom. The coupling device possesses two coupling members, wherein one coupling member is provided on the container unit and one coupling member on the main unit.

  • Patent number: 10781020
    Abstract: Liquid dispenser for discharging pharmaceutical liquid having a discharge head and a cap, the cap body of which has a ventilation opening. The dispenser includes an injection-moulded pull-off portion which, in the delivery state, covers the ventilation opening and is connected to the cap body by a substance-to-substance bond. The pull-off portion, together with a tamper-evident portion, which, with the dispenser in the delivery state, prevents removal of the cap body, is part of a common segment which is detachable from the cap body of the cap. Alternatively, the ventilation opening is provided with a filter membrane for filtering the air which flows through it, and the cap body includes two part-bodies which together form a receiving space for the filter membrane.

  • Patent number: 10661291
    Abstract: Dispenser with a reservoir for storing liquid, and a discharge opening through which the liquid can be dispensed. The dispenser includes a metering device for discharging a defined liquid quantity upon actuation of the dispenser. The metering device at the entry side is connected to the reservoir and at the exit side is connected to the discharge opening. The metering device includes a pre-metering chamber which via an infeed duct is connected to the reservoir, and a main metering chamber which via an intermediate duct is connected to the pre-metering chamber, and via a discharge duct is connected to the discharge opening. The pre-metering chamber and the main metering chamber each have one repositionable wall, the respective chamber volume being variable by repositioning the wall. The walls are operatively coupled such that a volumetric enlargement of the pre-metering chamber causes a volumetric reduction of the main metering chamber.

  • Publication number: 20200130002
    Abstract: A discharge head for a liquid dispenser having a coupling device fastening to an outlet connector of a liquid store, a liquid inlet, and a discharge opening. The discharge head has a pump device conveying liquid from the liquid inlet to the discharge opening, and a ventilation channel. The discharge head has an end surface by which the liquid store is substantially closed off at the distal end of the outlet connector and which is extended through by the liquid inlet. The end surface and the coupling device are formed as part of a common main component. The end surface has a ventilation aperture which is part of the ventilation channel and through which air flows into the liquid store in an inflow direction. The ventilation aperture has a minimum clear cross section of at most 3·10?2 mm2.

  • Patent number: 10632487
    Abstract: A dispenser includes a housing and a discharge opening provided at the distal end of the housing. The dispenser includes a liquid reservoir and a control device having a pump or a switching valve, which control device is connected by a first line to the liquid reservoir and by a second line to the discharge opening, and via which control device liquid is conducted from the liquid reservoir to the discharge opening. The dispenser includes a push button provided laterally in a cutout of a circumferential face of the housing and connected to the control device such that pressing the push button actuates the control device so that liquid is conducted to the discharge opening. Measures for securing the dispenser include a rotatable sleeve over the push button, a secured cap, a securing arrangement on the push button, an interaction of the push button with an opposite side of the dispenser, and a receiving sleeve for the dispenser.

  • Patent number: 10538369
    Abstract: Liquid dispenser for discharging pharmaceutical liquids, having a housing, an outlet opening and an outlet valve assigned to the outlet opening. The outlet valve includes a pressure chamber arranged upstream of a valve opening and delimited to one side by a valve plate of a valve body. By increasing the pressure in the pressure chamber, the valve can be opened. The pressure chamber has a flat form and has a large surface area in contact with liquid in relation to the volume. At least one portion of the valve plate which is in contact with liquid in the pressure chamber is of a valve plate material produced using metallocenes as catalysts.

  • Patent number: 10343825
    Abstract: A discharge head for mixing two media and discharging the mixed liquid, having a dosing chamber, a first inlet, a second inlet, and an outlet through which the mixed liquid is discharged from the dosing chamber. A displacer is movable in an actuation direction between first and second end positions to force the mixed liquid through the outlet. A volume-compensating mechanism has a wall portion which is deflectable between a minimal position in which the volume of the dosing chamber is not enlarged and a maximal position in which the volume of the dosing chamber is enlarged to a maximum extent. Deflection of the wall portion in the direction of the maximal position enables an auxiliary volume to be made available in the dosing chamber through which, with the dosing chamber already filled with the first media, the second media can be introduced into the dosing chamber.
