  • Publication number: 20200171252
    Abstract: A discharge head for the nasal application of pharmaceutical liquid from a pressure reservoir which has an outlet valve with a valve connector, to which force can be applied counter to a spring force in order to open the outlet valve. The discharge head has a nasal applicator which extends outward from an actuating surface and at the end of which a discharge opening is provided. The discharge opening is connected in a fluid-communicating manner to a hollow tube through an applicator channel of the nasal applicator, for connection to the pressure reservoir. The nasal applicator has an inner component connected integrally to the actuating surface and an outer component separate from the inner component and attached to the inner component in a surrounding manner. The discharge opening is provided in the outer component, and the outer component and the inner component together bound the applicator channel.

  • Patent number: 10173815
    Abstract: A discharge head for a fluid container, including a discharge opening and a switching valve which closes and opens a fluid path between the fluid container and the discharge opening. The discharge head has an inner component fixedly connected to a fluid store and an outer component movable relative to the inner component and non-separably connected thereto. The outer component is moved relative to the inner component between a first relative closure position and a second relative open position. The switching valve is opened and closed by movement of the inner component relative to the outer component, is closed in the first position and open in the second position. The inner and outer components are locked in the first position by a child-resistant mechanism, and displacement of the outer component from the first position into the second position is prevented in a locking position of the mechanism.

  • Publication number: 20160243319
    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 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: 9352348
    Abstract: A dispenser including a medium reservoir, a discharge opening, and a feeding device for feeding medium from the medium reservoir to the discharge opening, wherein an actuating handle is displaceable relative to the medium reservoir in an actuation direction to discharge medium. The dispenser includes a protective device with two partial shells interconnected in a protective condition by a coupling device for repeated decoupling and coupling wherein the protective device is attachable to the feeding device in a protective position such that in the protective condition the accessibility and/or maneuverability of the actuating handle is prevented, and upon releasing the coupling device an enable condition of the protective device is achievable in which the partial shells are displaceable relative to another so that the protective device is removable from the feeding device, and thus accessibility or maneuverability of the actuating handle is obtainable thereby.

  • Publication number: 20160138953
    Abstract: A metering head for a liquid dispenser with a discharge opening for dispensing liquid from an interior of the metering head into an environment, a metering body and a metering channel within which the metering body is arranged movably between a closed position and an open position. The metering body is designed as a float and is adapted to the metering channel such that, during the movement in the direction of the closed position, liquid flowing to the discharge opening flows around it at least in phases. The metering body is adapted to the discharge opening such that, in its closed position, it closes the discharge opening off from the metering channel. The metering head also includes a ventilation channel separate from the discharge opening and having an inlet valve that opens when there is an underpressure in the metering channel in relation to the environment.

  • Patent number: 9233384
    Abstract: A dispenser for discharging liquids with a liquid reservoir for accommodating the liquid prior to being discharged, and a liquid outlet passage which leads to a liquid outlet opening through which the liquid reservoir communicates with a surrounding atmosphere. In a use position, the liquid outlet opening is arranged below the liquid reservoir such that the liquid flows on account of the weight thereof in the direction of the liquid outlet opening, and the liquid outlet passage in the use position does not simultaneously permit air to enter the liquid reservoir and liquid to exit into the surrounding atmosphere. In order to reduce the internal volume of the dispenser and therefore to effect a discharge of liquid, a slide is pushed manually in an actuating direction from a stroke starting position into a stroke end position.
