Description

The invention relates to a dispenser for disinfectants and / or cleaning agents with a holder for a container which is filled with the cleaning agent and / or disinfectant, the container having its own pump which transports the contents outside of the container when actuated .

Bottles with a pump mechanism in particular are well known from the cosmetics industry, especially as soap dispensers.

Such bottles can only be used to a limited extent in public spaces, as they include have only a low level of stability, i.e. easily fall over and thus leak, or since they are at risk of vandalism and theft, with the result that a potential user has no disinfectant or cleaning agent available.

Furthermore, dispensers of cleaning agents and / or disinfectants are known which, as floor-standing or wall-mounted devices, are equipped with a bottle or a bag containing the liquid. Such donors are used in particular in health facilities and are also available in many other areas in view of the corona pandemic.

The actuating arm of such a dispenser is often designed so that it can also be actuated with the arm in order to avoid hand contact.

Such a disinfectant dispenser is from the EP 0 891 284 B1 known. By means of an adapter that can be screwed onto the thread of the bottle contained in the disinfectant, in addition to various metering options, among other things, a wall fixation should be achieved.

At the donor after EP 0 538 159 B1 a certain position of the disinfectant container is achieved by an inclined guide plane.

However, these metering devices do not solve the problem of using containers such as bottles or bags with different sizes and connections that themselves have a pump mechanism in a metering device. This is the object of the invention.

This object is achieved with the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments are the subject of the subclaims.

The dispenser according to the invention for a liquid disinfectant and / or cleaning agent with a container containing the disinfecting and / or cleaning agent with a screw cap with an external thread on the container side, a screw cap and a pump guided through the screw cap, the pump being actuatable by vertical pressure and has an outlet pipe for the pumped disinfectant and / or cleaning agent, provides that
A retaining plate is arranged horizontally on a vertical base plate of the dispenser and has an opening for inserting the external thread on the container side from below, whereby it is ensured by means of selectable retaining means, which can be plugged into the container-side external thread above the retaining plate, that after closing the screw cap the container hangs in the opening by means of the screw cap and vertical guides for the pivot axis of a lever for exerting pressure on the pump are also arranged on the base plate, so that the lever is vertically displaceable in a support on the pump and can be fixed here in the direction of the container.

The proposed dispenser is therefore suitable for containers such as bottles and bags of the most varied shapes and sizes and different diameters of the screw cap. The largest diameter of the external thread is determined by the diameter of the opening in the retaining plate - the retaining means provided are provided for smaller diameters of the external thread, because they increase the external diameter of the external thread to a level that prevents it from falling through the opening.

The angle between the base plate and the holding plate, which according to the wording would be exactly 90 °, can of course deviate by a tolerance range of ± 10 ° without affecting the functionality of the dispenser.

In a first embodiment, the retaining means are ring-shaped with an outer dimension greater than the opening cross-section and an inner dimension smaller than the outer edge of the screw cap of the screw cap, but greater than the outer diameter of the external thread on the container side.

Instead of ring-shaped retaining means, clasps or clamps with two legs each can be used as retaining means, which are arranged between the screw cap and the holding plate when the container-side external thread is inserted through the opening and the screw cap is screwed on, and the extent of which is dimensioned such that it corresponds to the edges of the Project at least two points beyond the opening. In this version, too, the container hangs below the retaining plate, held by the clasp or clamp above the retaining plate.

The guides for the pivot axis of the lever with which the pump is operated consist of webs arranged vertically on the base plate with elongated holes through which fastening bolts are guided into the pivot axis of the lever and can be braced with the pivot axis. The lever is preferably mounted on the pivot axis by means of cranked edge sections of the lever.

This adjustment option of the lever allows it to be adapted to different heights of the pump of the container.

A further embodiment provides that the guides have markings in order to position the pivot axis horizontally at different heights without large aids.

Since the pump is actuated by means of the lever, it is advantageous if the lever has a guide groove or a snap-in clip for the outlet pipe from the pump on its underside. This gives stability to the pumping mechanism.

In order to ensure a high degree of recyclability of the dispenser, in particular the base plate, the holding plate, a drip tray arranged on the base plate and the lever are made from sheet aluminum.

The proposed dispenser is therefore not tied to any container size - within the normal framework - and can have external threads of different sizes for the screw cap. It can be used as a table, wall or standing device with a stand.

In the case of floor-standing devices, a preferred embodiment provides that the base has a triangular shape, preferably at right angles, so that it can be set up in a corner of a room or a corner of a furniture wall.

• - Die Grundplatte 2 als Trägerelement für die anderen Bestandteile. Die Grundplatte 2 wird bei einem Standgerät mit einem Ständer und bei einem Wandgerät mit der Wand verbunden. Entsprechende Anschlussbohrungen können dafür generell vorgesehen sein.
• - Die Halteplatte 3, die mit der Grundplatte 2 einen Winkel von ca. 90° einschließt und der Fixierung des Behältnisses 5 mit dem Desinfektions- und Reinigungsmittel dient.
• - Den Hebel 12, der an der Grundplatte 2 höhenverstellbar und mit seiner Schwenkachse 11 fixierbar ist, so dass er in eine optimale Position zur Betätigung der Pumpe des Behältnisses 5 einstellbar ist.

• - Den Führungen 8, die senkrecht an der Grundplatte 2 angeordnet sind und mit Langlöchern 9 versehen sind. Die Führungen 8 dienen der Verstellung und Fixierung des Hebels 12 mit Befestigungsbolzen 10 sowie
• - der Tropfschale 15, die ebenfalls an der Grundplatte 2 in einem Winkel von ca. 90° angeordnet ist. Die Toleranz des Winkels zu 90° sollte kleiner sein als die der Halteplatte 3, da die Tropfschale 15 sonst in ihrer Funktion eingeschränkt wäre (Überlauf).

The donor 1 is to be explained using an exemplary embodiment. 1 shows the basic components of the dispenser 1 :

• - The base plate 2 as a support element for the other components. The base plate 2 is connected to a stand for a floor-standing unit and to the wall for a wall-mounted unit. Corresponding connection bores can generally be provided for this.
• - The holding plate 3 that came with the baseplate 2 encloses an angle of approx. 90 ° and the fixation of the container 5 with the disinfectant and cleaning agent.
• - The lever 12 that is attached to the base plate 2 adjustable in height and with its swivel axis 11 is fixable so that it is in an optimal position for actuating the pump of the container 5 is adjustable.

• - The guides 8th that are perpendicular to the base plate 2 are arranged and with elongated holes 9 are provided. The guides 8th are used to adjust and fix the lever 12 with fastening bolts 10 such as
• - the drip tray 15th that are also attached to the base plate 2 is arranged at an angle of about 90 °. The tolerance of the angle to 90 ° should be smaller than that of the holding plate 3 as the drip tray 15th otherwise their function would be restricted (overflow).

The holding plate 3 has an opening 4th on, which is preferably dimensioned in diameter so that the external thread of the screw cap of all common containers 5 can be pushed through from below.

By arranging a restraint 7th , here a ring, above the retaining plate 3 is the difference between the diameter of the opening 4th and the external thread of the container 5 not only can be compensated, but the outer diameter of the ring is larger than that of the opening 4th so that the ring with the screw cap screwed on 6th together with this an abutment against the screw cap of the container slipping through 5 through the opening 4th forms. The container 5 hangs on the mounting plate 3 .

Since the containers 5 can have different heights with your own pump, so is the lever 12 adjustable in height, what about the guides 8th and the pivot axis 11 of the lever 12 is feasible. Markings on the guides 8th right and left of the lever 12 facilitate the adjustment of the swivel axis 11 in a horizontal position.

As shown is the lever 12 preferably by cranked edge sections 13 with the pivot axis 11 connected.

To give stability to the pump's outlet pipe, the lever is 12 on its underside with a guide groove 4th or a snap-in clip for the outlet pipe.

With the proposed improvements, the user of a dispenser is no longer connected to a specific container 5 of a certain manufacturer, but can also fall back on other suppliers of disinfectants and / or cleaning agents.
A basic range of restraint devices 7th however, should be associated with the delivery of the donor. If necessary, simple washers from the hardware store can also be used.
