  • Patent number: 6808085
    Abstract: A first reservoir body (13) includes two necks (19, 20). One neck (19) carries a thrust piston pump (11) including a medium outlet (37). The other neck (20) carries a closed second reservoir body (14) including a second medium. When the closure (9) is opened, the second medium is transferred into the first reservoir body (13) where it is mixed with or dissolved in the first medium. Thereafter, the mixed media can be discharged by the dosing pump (11) from the first reservoir body (13) in discrete doses in sequence. Thus, the media are stored separately and are not merged until being discharged.

  • Patent number: 6736293
    Abstract: The discharge head of the dispenser (1) comprises a supporting body (9) and a head body (3) pivotable relative to the latter by a pliant connection (40), namely an elastomeric passage section (47), including the delivery orifice (53). The bending of the passage section (47) is guided by a single-axis joint (50) and due to the pivoting movement an actuating finger rest (55) becomes accessible for manually actuating a discharge stroke of a pump (20).

  • Publication number: 20040000567
    Abstract: 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).

  • Patent number: 6626328
    Abstract: A dispenser (1) comprises a reservoir (7) and a plunger pump (8), the medium inlet (3) of which pierces a closure (45) of the reservoir (7), after which the medium can be discharged metered from the reservoir (7) by repeated strokes with the pump (8). Until used the medium thus remains hermetically sealed.

  • Patent number: 6578741
    Abstract: In a dispenser, particularly an atomizer, which is used for flowable substances, particularly pharmaceuticals, use is made of a pump, which must be actuated one or more times for priming purposes. Its discharge nozzle (14) is covered by a protective cap (38), which is suitable to collect and store the medium, which is discharged during the priming strokes and before the start of the useful strokes. During the priming strokes the protective cap (38) is secured on the dispenser (11). This is brought about in that a locking (40) for the protective cap is only released when the priming strokes have been performed. This can take place by electrical actuation or by material change under the influence of the medium to be discharged. According to a variant the protective cap is not itself locked, but an actuation locking takes place if the protective cap has not been fitted for the priming strokes.

  • Patent number: 6527144
    Abstract: The invention relates to a discharge apparatus for media. Corresponding media discharge apparatuses are e.g. generally known in the form of pump atomizers. The problem of the invention is to create a greater freedom of design for the actuation of such discharge apparatuses. This problem is solved in that the actuation direction of the actuating element of the discharge apparatus differs from the stroke direction of the pump element of the discharge apparatus.

  • Patent number: 6427878
    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for the atomized discharge of a liquid medium. The apparatus can be operated with one hand for the discharge of a liquid medium in partial strokes that are successively performed and not unintentionally interrupted. The apparatus has an operating trigger to engage the ram, which operates the piston that is displaceable in the spray cylinder, the operating path of the operating trigger being so limited between an operating starting position and end position that the resulting discharge stroke of the piston may vary for successive partial discharges of the stored medium.

  • Patent number: 6382465
    Abstract: A method of producing a flexible conduit whose dimensions and shape can easily be changed according to its use is described. The method includes producing elongate elements from an elastic flexible material, wherein the cross-section of the elongate elements each have at least one corrugation and extend so as to be rectilinear longitudinally. Each elongate element is fixed to at least one elongate holding element made of rigid pliable material so as to keep its shape after bending. Several sets of elongate elements are produced and are connected to each other along their adjacent longitudinal edges in order to form a flat enclosure whose dimensions correspond to those of the deployed flexible conduit. The flat enclosure is then deformed so as to close it and to obtain the required shape of the cross-section of the conduit, wherein the enclosure is kept in shape by the deformation of the elongate holding elements. Then, the adjacent ends of the shaped enclosure are connected.
