Patent number: 9955765Abstract: A manually operated pump and a method for pumping a preferably cosmetic liquid are proposed in which actuation is performed either by manual linear actuation or by swiveling actuation using a lever mechanism. The pump can be equipped with a locking device that blocks actuation of the pump in the locked state. The delivery head of the pump can be integrally formed with the swivel lever. Moreover, components of the pump can advantageously be provided with a flexible or elastic layer.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2014Date of Patent: May 1, 2018Assignee: APTAR DORTMUND GMBHInventors: Detlef Schmitz, Swen Barenhoff

Patent number: 9624028Abstract: A dispensing device as well as a dispensing head and use thereof are proposed. Through depression of the dispensing head, an associated dispensing valve is opened and the product to be delivered can escape or be dispensed through an outlet space and via a downstream outlet valve. In order to prevent or at least minimize subsequent dripping or foaming, the volume of the outlet space is initially reduced upon actuation of the dispensing head and enlarged again upon completion of actuation, particularly after closing of the dispensing valve, whereby the product is suctioned away from the outlet or outlet valve back into the outlet space.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2013Date of Patent: April 18, 2017Assignee: APTAR DORTMUND GMBHInventors: Reinhard Neuhaus, Ralf Jordan, Detlef Schmitz, Swen Barenhoff

Patent number: 7854353Abstract: A device for dispensing, especially atomizing, a preferably cosmetic liquid has a dispensing head which can be manually depressed for dispensing of the liquid and can be turned to set the dispensing direction. In order to ensure simple and reliable handling, the device has a catch arrangement so that the dispensing head can be turned with a catching action. In a preferred embodiment, the catch arrangement has at least one catch cam, preferably several catch cams that are spaced in the direction of rotation. The catch cam or cams engage catch recesses with a catching action, especially radially relative to the actuation direction of the delivery head.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2005Date of Patent: December 21, 2010Assignees: Seaquest Perfect Dispensing GmbH, Beiersdorf AGInventors: Detlef Schmitz, Cristin Wirth, Martin Wehmann

Publication number: 20080265060Abstract: A device and a spray head for atomizing a cosmetic fluid by with an electrically operable compressed air generator. In order to permit atomization of the fluid largely without any delay, an intermediate store for the fluid is arranged above and/or directly next to a nozzle. When the device is switched off, some fluid remains in the intermediate store so that, immediately after the compressed air feed is switched on, initially, fluid is transported from the intermediate store into the nozzle and is atomized, at least until a feed of fluid from the reservoir takes place.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2004Publication date: October 30, 2008Inventors: Reiker Canfield, Bernhard Jasper, Reinhard Neuhaus, Detlef Schmitz, Jacques Achille Blanie

Publication number: 20080179350Abstract: The invention relates to a dispenser (10) comprising a pump housing (14) with an adapter (12) for a container that contains fluid. Said dispenser comprises an adapter housing (24) with a passage (20) and inlets (28) for the fluid, an inlet valve (30) that is located in an annular chamber (51) and a non-return valve (32) that is located in a valve chamber (34). The adapter housing (24) consists of an upper part (44) and a lower part (46), which form the annular chamber (51), that latter being centrally traversed by a connecting pipe (52). A base (50) of the annular chamber (51) contains fluid inlets (28) for the inverted position of the dispenser (10) and comprises a fluid-tight collar (60) that projects radially beyond the inlets (28). The inlet valve (30) is an annular, flexible elastic valve disc (31), which surrounds and seals the annular groove (58) and whose external edge lies on the fluid-tight collar (60), sealing the inlets (28).Type: ApplicationFiled: May 25, 2005Publication date: July 31, 2008Inventors: Reinhard Neuhaus, Detlef Schmitz, Bernhard Jasper, Ralf Jordan
