  • Publication number: 20190201639
    Abstract: A liquid dispenser for discharging cosmetic or pharmaceutical liquids, in particular in the form of an inhaler. This liquid dispenser includes a switchable valve mechanism, a base, and a discharge head which, for actuation of the valve mechanism, is movable with respect to the base in a superposed axial and rotational movement or in a rotational movement between an opening position, in which the valve mechanism is opened, and a closure position, in which the valve mechanism is closed. It is proposed that, in a delivery state of the liquid dispenser, a rotational movement of the discharge head with respect to the base is blocked by a tamper-evident portion that is separable from the dispenser.

  • 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.
