Patent number: 7066359Abstract: A dispenser for flowable media is provided, which operates in user-independent manner with respect to the pressure buildup and dosage quantity. On pressing on an operating head (35) a piston rod (29) is forced into a pump cylinder. As the pump chamber (52) is sealed by means of a delivery valve (51), which operates in path-dependent manner as a slide valve, under the action of a spring (42) pressing on the piston collar (43), a pressure builds up in the pump chamber (52), which is released following a predetermined length of travel on opening the delivery valve. A relatively constant pressure can be obtained over the entire discharge phase through the pretension of spring (42).Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2003Date of Patent: June 27, 2006Assignee: Ing.

Patent number: 6986444Abstract: The disclosure provides a fluid-tight, but non-releasable or only under a large force releasable connection between the delivery device of a dispenser and the medium reservoir of the dispenser. For the discharge of a fluid, preferably liquid medium, which can in particular contain a pharmaceutical substance, such a dispenser has at least two parts, firstly a medium container for storing the medium and secondly a delivery device fastenable to the medium container. For fastening together the medium container and the delivery device, fastening portions are formed on both parts. In the fastening portion there is a gap between the medium container and the delivery device. An elastically deformable ring fastener, preferably as a layer on the outside of the delivery device, is provided and its wall thickness, prior to installation, is larger than the gap dimension.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2002Date of Patent: January 17, 2006Assignee: Ing.

Patent number: 6886556Abstract: The problem of the invention is to so develop known dispensers, that it is possible to very precisely determine the actual discharged medium volume. A dispenser according to the invention has a media path, which leads from a medium storage container to a discharge opening. A delivery device for delivering medium is located in said media path. The media reservoir stores a medium, particularly a fluid, which preferably incorporates at least one pharmaceutical substance. A media discharge can be brought about by means of an operating means. According to the invention, on the dispenser is provided an electronic detecting device for detecting a quantity representing the amount of medium discharged.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2002Date of Patent: May 3, 2005Assignee: Ing. Erich Pfeiffer GmbHInventor: Karl-Heinz Fuchs

Patent number: 6877672Abstract: The object of the invention is to provide a method and a dispenser in which, compared with known dispensers, the fluid path design is simplified. The dispenser has a medium reservoir (19) containing a medium to be discharge during one discharge stroke of the dispenser (11). For this purpose a feed fluid flows through the medium reservoir and discharges the medium through a reservoir discharge opening. For producing a discharge stroke, the dispenser has an actuator (25), whose actuation at least indirectly leads to an impact spike (29) penetrating from the outside into the medium reservoir (19), so as to produce a connection between a pump (40) for a feed fluid and the medium reservoir. As a result of the pressure of the feed fluid flowing into the medium reservoir, at a point in the medium reservoir (19) differing from the entry point of the impact spike (29), an opening is formed.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2002Date of Patent: April 12, 2005Assignee: Ing.
