Description

Liquid dispenser for filling, storing and dispensing liquids and for carrying on the human body

description

The invention relates to a liquid dispenser for filling, storing and dispensing of liquids and for wearing on the human body, which has a support body in the form of at least one hollow chamber that can be filled with the liquid and pointing tube, which stores it at the same time, according to the preamble of claim 1.

The state of the art currently includes different liquid dispensers and, in particular, disinfectant dispensers. These each have disadvantages. There are stationary disinfectant dispensers, such as those in hospitals, that are tied to one place. One advantage is the large capacity, one disadvantage is the low mobility, so that it is difficult to carry around in everyday life. Smaller disinfectant dispensers or disinfectant wipes, which are available in smaller containers, have the advantage that they can be carried in a trouser pocket or a carried bag. It is disadvantageous that these cannot be found at the moment they are necessary or that they first have to be searched for at great expense. In addition, the consumption of the containers and towels leads to a larger amount of waste. The problems of mobility and the high volume of waste are solved by refillable disinfectant dispensers worn on the human body. According to the current status, there are currently several implementations in the form of bracelets (DE 202014002758 U1, DE 102017 102831 A1, DE 102018003868 A1,

US 7,135,011 B2). Liquid dispensers of the generic type are known from CN 207733770 U and CN 111358987 A.

Disadvantages here are the relatively small capacity and an unfavorable use for disinfecting both own and other body parts and objects.

It is the object of the invention to remedy these problems.

The invention solves this problem with the subject matter of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments can be found in the subclaims. The invention creates according to claim 1 a liquid dispenser for filling, storing and dispensing liquids and for carrying on the human body, which has a carrying body in the form of at least one tube which can be filled with the liquid and which also stores it or at the same time , the support body in the form of a tube having a length of at least 60 cm, preferably between 60 cm and 400 cm, and / or so that it is designed and usable for being carried over a shoulder, a neck or around a waist of a user.

The liquid dispenser, in particular intended as a disinfectant dispenser, comprises a hose as a support body for the liquid. This hose is at least 60 cm long and can absorb, store and release the liquid. It also has at least one hollow chamber. This can extend over part or even essentially over the entire length of the hose.

The hose is preferably worn over the shoulder, around the neck or the waist on the human body. The greater capacity that can be achieved is particularly advantageous over the prior art, due to the length, preferably accompanied by a corresponding diameter of the hose. The at least one or more fillable hollow chambers can preferably have a filling volume of 5 cm ³ to 500 cm ³ . A filling volume of 15 cm ³ to 100 cm ³ can particularly preferably be achieved.

The wearing property that the liquid dispenser can be worn on the human body, preferably over the shoulder, around the neck or the waist, is achieved by the correspondingly long hose. The fluid dispenser can thus be worn on the body. But it can also be used differently and rolled up in a bag, for example. It can also preferably be provided that the liquid dispenser can be attached to one or more other objects, such as one or more shoulder straps of backpacks, one or more shoulder straps of handbags and / or shoulder bags, by means of a modular connection system. The fluid dispenser is then worn on the body via these objects.

Another advantage of the liquid dispenser is that it is easy to use via one or two ends of the hose. For example, in the case of the disinfectant dispenser, every part of the body or every other part of the body or every object can be disinfected with disinfectant. Furthermore, through the connection of the disinfectant dispenser with a lifestyle object, such as a Smartphone, wallet, a shoulder bag or an ID card, the carrying and quick use of disinfectant is ensured. The ability to be refilled leads to a lower amount of garbage and, associated with this, to less environmental pollution. The area of application can cover the entire professional and private everyday life, so that a personal and social benefit arises in both the professional and private environment.

The liquid dispenser is intended in particular for filling with disinfectant. This means that it can preferably be used as a disinfectant dispenser. The dispenser can carry another object through a holder. This ensures that the liquid dispenser for disinfectants is always carried with you in everyday life and can be made available for disinfection at any time. The disinfectant dispenser is used in particular in public spaces, where many people meet and viruses, fungi and bacteria can be transmitted. Other areas of application can be, for example, medical facilities, care facilities, local public transport, sports facilities, large events and any possible activity in which several people come into contact with one another.

It can further preferably be provided that the support body designed as a tube is designed as a circumferentially closed, for example circular or oval, ring or can be joined together with corresponding connecting means to form a circumferentially closed ring. It can thus be advantageously implemented that the liquid dispenser in the form of a hose, which has a minimum length of 60 cm, can simply be carried over the shoulder, around the neck or around the waist.

The hose can thus form a ring hose. But it can also form a long hose that is not circumferentially closed. But it is also possible to wear the hose as a free, not circumferentially closed element.

Likewise, the liquid dispenser can be circumferentially closed or not circumferentially closed on an object, such as on the shoulder straps of a rucksack, by connecting elements or replace a carrying strap of a bag with connecting elements on a bag as a whole. It is therefore advantageously possible to implement the liquid dispenser in the form of a tube, which has a minimum length of 60 cm, through an object over the shoulder, around the neck or around the waist.

According to an advantageous development it can be provided that the liquid dispenser has a holder for fastening an object. These enables an additional object to be carried or attached to the liquid dispenser in an advantageous and simple manner. The object can be, for example, a smartphone, wallet, shoulder bag or ID card.

The hose is preferably refillable, so that an environmentally friendly product is created that generates a low amount of waste due to its refillability.

The liquid dispenser preferably comprises at least one support body in the form of a tube with a minimum length of 60 cm and at least one flea space in the support body, one or two inlets for receiving a liquid and one or two outlets for this liquid to escape. The inlets and outlets can be the same opening. According to the invention, the outlet of the liquid is controlled by the pump unit / spray pump. It can be secured against unintentional leakage of the liquid by a closure unit. Furthermore, different valves can be integrated into the system in order to ensure the transport of the liquid in one direction of the hose or to ensure the unintentional discharge of liquid from the liquid dispenser. A possible fold, such as rings or carabiner-like connecting elements, can be attached to the hose so that another object such as a smartphone, a purse, a shoulder bag or an identity card can be attached. The liquid dispenser can be attached to other objects, such as shoulder straps of a backpack or a shoulder strap of a bag, by means of connecting elements

The liquid dispenser according to the invention enables the user to carry and use them with him at all times in a particularly simple manner and ready to use. Because the liquid dispenser is designed in the form of a flexible and elastic hose, it can be worn in a user-friendly manner around the neck, shoulder, waist or on other objects such as shoulder straps of a backpack or a shoulder strap of a bag. Due to the external design of the liquid dispenser, it is not recognized as such. In addition, the disinfectant dispenser can carry an object such as a smartphone, a wallet, a shoulder bag or an ID card by means of a fold stand is always carried along and waste, such as with disinfectant wipes or individual packaging of disinfectant bottles, is avoided. The support body in the form of a tube with a minimum length of 60 cm can, according to one variant, be made of rubber, in particular natural rubber, plastic, in particular a flexible plastic, a silicone or a combination of the materials mentioned, in order to ensure a high level of comfort. A hose is to be understood as a body provided with a cavity, the cross section of which can be of any shape. In the case of a disinfectant dispenser for hanging around the neck, the material of the hose is particularly resistant to the components of disinfectants. The strength of the material must not give way when hanging an object due to torsion or kinking. The hose thus takes on the function of a tank for storing the liquid, as well as the function of transporting the liquid to the outlet. The shape of the cross section of the tube or of the cavity can be rounded, angular or a combination of these as the shape. The exact dimensions of the hose are dependent on the capacity of the liquid per unit of length. The invention thus comprises a capacity per unit length of the hose between 0.07 cm ³ / cm to 7 cm ³ / cm. The minimum capacity of the liquid dispenser at 0.07 cm ³ / cm and a round cross-section of the hose, the inner diameter is 0.3 cm, and the maximum capacity is 7 cm ³ / cm and an inner diameter of 3 cm. The outer dimensions of the hose are dependent on the wall thickness. In terms of wall thickness, a compromise is found between high flexibility with high strength and high creep resistance, so that the wall thickness can vary between 0.1 mm and 10 mm. The inside dimensions added to the wall thickness result in the outside dimensions. There is also the possibility of designing the interior of the hose in such a way that, for example, an x-shaped wall is integrated in the hose. This arrangement leads to an advantageous functioning of the capillary effect through the surface tension of the liquid itself and the interfacial tension between the liquid and the surface of the tube inside the tube.

It is preferred and advantageous if the hose is made of one or more materials such as rubber, in particular natural rubber, plastic, in particular a flexible plastic, silicone or a combination of the materials mentioned, and has a high degree of flexibility.

The outer surface of the hose can be designed differently. A possible sheathing of the hose means that it cannot be recognized as such. The sheathing can, for example, consist of natural fiber, leather, a film or a Ge fabric, in particular made of plastic. The sheathing can be firmly connected to the outside of the hose / support body or loosely around the Be arranged hose. Another possibility in the design of the outer surface consists in printing this outer surface. For example, information, logos or advertising can be printed on the outer surface of the hose. Furthermore, the outer surface of the hose can remain unprocessed and free.

A holder attached to the liquid dispenser can enable an object, such as a lifestyle item (smartphone, wallet, shoulder bag) or an object necessary for work (ID card, trade fair card) to be attached to the liquid dispenser. The benefit of the liquid dispenser that is worn on the human body thus has the advantage of carrying both liquid and an everyday object with it. The holder on an object can, for example, be implemented using two rings, as is the case with existing cord smartphone covers and handbags, or using similar fastening solutions such as carabiner-like connection techniques.

A connection system attached to another object can enable the liquid dispenser to be attached to this object, such as backpacks, handbags and shoulder bags. The connection system can be attached, for example, to the shoulder straps of a rucksack or a shoulder strap of a shoulder bag. The liquid dispenser can replace the shoulder strap or the carrying strap as a whole, or it can be attached to the straps using fastening options. For example, several loops or clamps can be incorporated into the belt as fastening options, or similar fastening options can be incorporated so that the liquid dispenser can be fastened over the entire length or part of the length of the belt. The ends of the liquid dispenser are still exposed so that liquid can be conveyed at any time.

The outlet is understood to be the opening from which liquid exits for use. The outlet is arranged in the same direction as the central axis of the hose or, in the case of a connector, in the direction of the central axis of the connector. To close the end of the outlet, for example, it can have an external thread, a plug-in coupling, a plug or another closure unit. Furthermore, a nozzle can be attached to the outlet so that the liquid can be atomized. In the event that the liquid dispenser is used as a disinfectant dispenser, there is the advantage that the flexibility of the hose enables user-friendly disinfection. Thus, the hose with the outlet can simply be directed in the direction of the body parts or objects to be disinfected in order to then allow disinfectant to escape from the outlet. The inlet is understood to mean the opening through which the liquid is taken into the hose. The inlet is arranged in the same direction as the central axis of the hose or, in the case of a connector, in the direction of the central axis of the connector. The end can be secured against accidental leakage by means of an external thread, a plug-in coupling, a stopper or another closure unit, for example. With different designs of the liquid dispenser, the inlet can be used both as an inlet and outlet or as a pure inlet.

A connecting piece, for example a Y-connecting piece, can connect the inlet and outlet in such a way that the same opening can be used for filling and discharging the disinfectant. The connection between the hose and the connecting piece can be attached to the connecting piece both non-detachably and detachably by means of a closure by means of a thread, plug-in coupling, barbs or similar connections. The end can be secured against unintentional leakage by means of an external thread, a plug-in coupling, a plug or another closure unit, for example. The connecting piece can be made of a plastic or a metallic material.

Liquid is understood to mean a material in a liquid state of aggregation. Liquid is characterized by its resilience under shear stresses. In the case of a disinfectant dispenser, disinfectant is understood as an alcohol-based liquid. The effect of disinfectants is to kill microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and viruses. The aim of the disinfectant is to put dead or living microorganisms in such a way that they can no longer infect. According to the WFIO, the following components are used to produce disinfectants: ethanol (96%) or isopropyl alcohol (99.8%), hydrogen peroxide (3%), glycerine and distilled water. Furthermore, odorous substances can be added.

The closure unit of the inlet, outlet or the connecting piece can be ensured, for example, by an external thread, a plug-in coupling, a plug or another closure unit. The closure unit can ensure that, when the tank is filled with liquid, it is prevented from unintentional leakage of the tank in the form of a hose. A safety rope, which connects the locking unit to the support body or to the connected components, can ensure that the locking unit is lost. The closure unit can consist of a metallic, plastic or rubber-like material. According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, valves serve to achieve the necessary air supply and a specific direction of flow for the liquid. Non-return valves at the hose ends can prevent the hose from running out at the inlet and outlet openings and make it easier for the liquid to flow in only one direction both when filling and when discharging the hose.

The check valves can either be integrated inside the hose or connected to the hose using a plug-in system.

In a further development of the invention, a pressure valve can be provided which, when a maximum pressure is exceeded, for example triggered by a pump unit, can open the passage into the support body for the respective direction.

The pressure valve has the property of opening at a certain pressure.

The pressure valve can ensure that an involuntary leakage of the disinfectant from the hose is ensured when the closure unit is opened.

The pressure valve can either be integrated inside the hose or connected to the hose by a plug-in system.

In a further development of the invention, a ventilation element can be used to allow air to be fed into the hose and to be discharged out of the hose, for example if the inlet and outlet use the same hose end as an opening.

At the other end of the hose, the ventilation element can either be firmly integrated or fastened by a thread, barbs or a plug-in coupling. The ventilation element is gas-permeable and liquid-impermeable on both sides, so that when the closure unit is opened, the disinfectant can leak out due to the pressure equalization. Without a ventilation element, there would be negative pressure when the closure unit was opened, so that a regulated transport of the disinfectant would not be possible. In addition, the ventilation element enables filling with liquid, as it enables air to be discharged from the hose and thus prevents overpressure in the hose.

The liquid dispenser can have a pump unit / a pump ball, which is used to feed the liquid through the hose and out of the outlet opening support financially. This can also serve to suck liquid into the inlet opening and into the interior of the hose.

Such a pump unit can be positioned at the end, in the middle or at any point on the hose and must be connected to the hose in an airtight manner. The pump unit can, for example, be permanently connected to the hose or be connected to the system with a plug-in coupling, a thread, barbs, or other connection technology.

The pump unit is designed to be operated by hand.

The pump unit can be a manual pump with any type of hollow body and one or, in a further development of the invention, several open ends in order to be able to be connected to the hose.

A manual pump can generate an overpressure and / or underpressure in the system by manual pressure, through which the liquid can be moved through, out of and into the hose.

The discharge quantity can be dosed with a manual pump, since the quantity of liquid discharged is determined as a function of the pressure.

The outer surface of the pump unit can be coated or printed. In a further development of the invention, the pump unit can also have a separate push button. The push button can be guided through a bearing groove.

Due to the arrangement of the check valves, pressure valves or the Belüftungsele Mentes when the pump unit is actuated, the liquid is moved out of the cavity of the hose by the resulting overpressure in the direction of the outlet. After actuation, the pump unit returns to its original state due to the internal stress within the material. The push button is also returned to its original position via the bearing groove after actuation. The resulting negative pressure in the pump unit means that the check valve at the inlet is opened and gas or liquid can flow in, so that the liquid column is transported in the direction of the outlet. A check valve at the outlet prevents gas from being sucked in through the opening, but allows the liquid to escape through the outlet. Furthermore, the pumping unit enables precise portioning of the liquid, since a pump surge can be adapted to the desired amount of liquid. As an alternative to a manual pump or a push button, the pump unit can also be designed in the form of an electrically driven pump, which, for example, moves the liquid through the hose system to the outlet when the pump unit is activated and thus can have the same effect as a manual pump.

The activation of the electric pump can be activated, for example, by Bluetooth and a smartphone connected to it, or by a touch sensor system and trigger an electric impulse to activate the pump, which can also accurately determine the discharge volume.

Due to the long and particularly flexible base body of the liquid dispenser, this has the advantages, in contrast to other liquid and especially disinfectant dispensers, that the pump unit and the inlet and outlet of the invention can be moved and positioned as desired, which enables a user-friendly application .

In addition, when the pump unit is pressed, no pressure is exerted on the body, such as, for example, the arm in a liquid dispenser as a bracelet, but the force is fed into the pump unit by manually squeezing a manual pump. Due to the high flexibility of the support body, it can be kept away from the body when the pump unit is actuated and, unlike with disinfectant-dispensing wristbands, does not have to be in direct contact.

The support body can be filled with liquid by holding the inlet of the hose into the filling liquid and activating the pump unit.

In the case of a manual pump, this must be pressed and then released again, which causes it to return to its original state due to its own tension. This creates a negative pressure in the tube and liquid can flow through the inlet into the flea body in the form of a tube.

This works in a similar way with an electric pump unit, but not by manual pressure, but by activating a sensor system. In a further development of the invention, a syringe can also be used, for example, with which the desired liquid can be injected through the inlet into the hose. Since a valve opens at the other end of the hose, which can let out the gas in the hose and thus the liquid can fill the hose. The use of the liquid dispenser, especially when filled with disinfectant, can be carried out with the following steps:

Applying the liquid dispenser around / over the shoulder, neck or waist or attaching it to another object that is in turn worn on the body.Open the outlet,

Positioning the outlet in the direction of the body part or object to be moistened,

Activate the pumping unit and discharge the liquid, and close the outlet.

An optional length adjustment unit enables the length of the hose or the loop placed around the wearer's neck to be varied, so that the lifestyle object can be positioned on the desired body depending on the body size. For example, this can be achieved using a clamp, in particular an “8-shaped clamp” through which the hose is passed twice.

Due to an advantageous embodiment, the length adjustment unit can have a safety device, in particular a release device for releasing the loop or the ring, so that personal protection can be implemented.

This can be done in a number of ways. According to one embodiment, the “8-shaped clamp” through which the hose is passed can either have a vertical gap on the upper / lower side or two vertical gaps on the upper and lower side of the 8-shaped clamp. During normal use of the liquid dispenser, the tube is held by the 8-shaped clamp. As soon as the hose gets stuck, for example, the hose detaches itself from the length adjustment unit and thus offers personal protection. In addition, a simple detachment and attachment of the hose from the length adjustment unit is guaranteed.

As an alternative to a pump unit, a wheel / ball lock can be provided which is used to press the liquid towards the outlet and, on the other hand, to close the hose sufficiently airtight and watertight.

Preferably two wheels or balls that are attached to the hose system squeeze the hose together, causing them to push the liquid in front of them. The wheel / ball lock can be attached to a Determine the position of the hose. When in use, the fixing unit can be loosened, the wheel / ball lock can be moved in the direction of the outlet so that liquid escapes, and then the fixing unit can be reattached.

In a further development of the invention, one or more additional hose elements can also be added to the system by means of a plug-in system, as a result of which the hose can be lengthened as required and a larger amount of liquid can be stored. A tank or container can also be added using a plug-in system, in which additional liquid can be stored.

It can be provided that the spray pump is attached to the outlet, preferably attached by a screw or crimp connection, so that the liquid to be dispensed can be atomized when dispensing.

The spray pump can be formed, in particular fastened, on one or both ends of the hose. The spray pump can be attached directly to the hose or it is not attached directly to the hose, but indirectly, e.g. on a connecting part that is connected to the hose by a bar with, for example, barbs. The outlet is arranged radially to the central axis of the hose through the spray pump. Furthermore, the outlet can not have a spray head and instead can have a different pump unit or outlet variant.

In this embodiment of the liquid dispenser, the inlet can be used both as an inlet and outlet or as a pure inlet. In an embodiment with a spray pump, the spray pump is removed from the connecting part, so that the connecting part can then be used as an inlet.

The one or more spray pumps convey the liquid out of the liquid dispenser when it is used and atomize it into an aerosol.

Both a single spray pump and several spray pumps can be attached to the hose ends of the liquid dispenser. The respective spray pump can be attached directly to the hose or attached to the hose by a connecting part.

The spray pump is attached to the connecting part with the hose either by a screw connection or a crimp connection. A riser pipe for the spray pump should preferably be short so that the liquid always flows in the direction of the spray pump / riser pipe due to the force of gravity. During use, it should thus be ensured that at least one of the two spray pumps is oriented towards the bottom at all times, so that liquid can flow into one of the two riser pipes at any time. Thus, the liquid dispenser should preferably be worn in such a way that the spray pumps are arranged closer to the floor compared to the rest of the liquid dispenser and are oriented upside down to the floor. The hose ends with the spray pumps can be arranged in opposite directions or in the same direction. The output quantity can be between 0.02 cm ³ and 2 cm ³ , depending on the design of the spray pump. In a simple embodiment, the spray pump can be made of a plastic or coated with deep-drawn metallic parts.

In advantageous configurations, the spray pump can be replaced by other pump systems or outlets.

The connecting part can connect the hose to the spray pump. The connecting part can have a web for attaching the connecting part to the hose, a central part and an attachment for the spray pump. The connecting part can in turn have a through-hole so that a body of the spray pump can be inserted into this through-hole.

To attach the hose to the web, fastening means, preferably a thread, a barb, a crimp, a plug coupling or an adhesive, can be used. The diameter of the web of the connec tion part is preferably greater than or equal to the inner diameter of the hose. The middle part connects the bridge with the attachment for the spray pump. The central body can have a cylindrical, conical, rectangular shape or a combination of these shapes.

The middle part can have a pocket on the side of the web so that the hose end can be pulled over the web and disappears into the pocket. The bag can thus hide the sheathed or printed hose end. The tube can preferably be crimped to the web through the pocket wall.

The attachment can preferably have a thread, a crimp connection, click-it connection or other connections for attaching the spray pump to the connecting part.

A through-hole leads through the connecting part, so that the spray pump including the riser pipe and pump cylinder through the connecting part into the liquid inside of the hose. The connecting part can consist of a metallic material or a plastic.

The support body can be filled with liquid by preferably removing the spray pump or the spray pumps from the connecting part. The liquid dispenser can then be filled with liquid, for example by means of a syringe, a syringe with a cannula, a small funnel or a dosing bottle. It must be ensured that a gap remains between the filling device and the through-hole of the connecting part so that the displaced gas can escape from the hose.

Objects such as a smartphone, wallet, shoulder bag or ID card can be attached using brackets such as carabiner-like fastenings or eyelets.

Using an optional modular connection system, the liquid dispenser can be attached to other objects, such as rucksacks, handbags and shoulder bags, and the liquid dispenser can be worn on the body via the objects.

The use of the liquid dispenser in a particularly advantageous embodiment, especially when filled with disinfectant, is carried out with the following steps:

Applying the liquid dispenser around / over the shoulder, neck, waist or attaching it to another object, which in turn will be worn on the body. When the liquid dispenser is placed, the spray pumps are directed downwards towards the floor

Position the spray pump (outlet) in the direction of the body part or object to be moistened

Activate the spray pump and atomize the liquid.

The liquid dispenser according to the invention enables a new variety of combinations through which liquids, such as disinfectants can be carried, due to its user-friendly way of carrying it on the human body or on an object, the large carrying volume, and the possibility of carrying another lifestyle object. and is not forgotten due to the wearing of a lifestyle product.

1 shows, in a schematic representation, an embodiment “1a” of a liquid dispenser 1 with a hose 5 provided with flexible sheathing 2 as a support body and with a disinfectant inlet 13 and outlet 14.

The cross section of the hose 5 has, as shown schematically in Fig. 2, a casing 2b with a wall thickness 23 (casing + hose inner diameter) and an inner diameter d. The sheath delimits a Hohlkam mer 5a. The liquid dispenser can be carried over the shoulder, around the neck or around the waist (see also Fig. 12a-d). With the aid of a holder 19, another object (a smartphone in FIG. 1) can be carried by the liquid dispenser.

A length adjustment unit 20 can preferably be used to set how tightly or loosely the liquid dispenser rests on the body. The length adjustment unit 20 can be designed in the most varied of ways.

A check valve 9 can be arranged on the hose 5 at an inlet and outlet 13, 14. These are preferably aligned in one direction so that the The direction of flow of the liquid or gas is only possible in one direction. A pump unit 6 is also integrated into the hose behind the check valve at the inlet. The check valve at the inlet can also be integrated within the pump unit.

The inlet and / or outlet 13/14 lead into the at least one flea chamber 5a.

This can preferably have a volume of 15 cm ³ to 100 cm ³ . Compared to other mobile disinfectant dispensers, this one can store a larger volume of liquid, especially since it can be designed to be relatively long.

The pump unit 6 can, as shown in FIG. 1, be surrounded by an actuating unit. This includes a push button 7 and a bearing groove 8. The pump unit can be a manual pump ball or an electric pump. The outlet is closed by a closure unit 15 when the liquid dispenser is not in use.

The check valves 9 and the pump unit 6 can be connected to the hose both by a non-detachable connection and by a detachable connection 11, 12, 16. The closure unit can in each case be detachable and connected to the hose or the outlet by a safety rope 17, so that losing the closure unit can be avoided, or it can be permanently integrated into the hose. The outlet can also be supplemented by a spray pump 21, which can atomize the liquid. If the hose is not sufficient as a liq sigkeitstank, another tank 18 of any shape can be added between the check valves using a simple plug-in system (see FIG. 8).

A filling of the liquid dispenser of an embodiment “1a” is shown schematically in FIGS. 3a and b. The inlet 13 and the outlet 14 of the empty hose are introduced into a container with liquid 22 for this purpose. The pump ball is then actuated manually or by means of a push button. The check valve at the inlet remains closed, while the check valve or, alternatively, the pressure valve 3 at the outlet is opened and gas or liquid emerges.

The pump ball then returns to its energetically more favorable initial state due to the internal stresses that have arisen in the pump ball material. This creates a negative pressure within the hose pump unit system, so that the check valve at the inlet is opened, the outlet is closed and liquid is sucked into the hose to equalize the pressure. The direction of movement of the liquid and the outflowing gas is shown by arrows. Additionally the direction of pressure applied and the internal stresses that restore the pump to its initial state are shown schematically by means of arrows.

The filling process can be repeated until the hose and / or tank are completely filled with liquid. The outlet is then closed with a closure unit.

4 shows schematically the use of the preferred liquid dispenser 1. The closure unit is removed from the outlet and then the pump unit is actuated. An overpressure arises in the hose-pump unit system, so that the non-return valve at the inlet remains closed, the outlet is opened and the liquid flows out of the outlet.

The pump unit then returns to its original state due to the internal stresses. A negative pressure is created so that the check valve at the inlet is opened and the outlet is closed. The liquid is moved towards the outlet and the rest of the hose is filled with gas from the inlet to the liquid column. The pumping unit can be used to control the amount of liquid that escapes depending on the excess pressure built up.

Fig. 5 shows schematically an embodiment “1b”, which is a further development of the embodiment “1a”. The two ends of the hose 5 are here connected to one another by a connector 10, for example a Y or T connector, so that the inlet and outlet use the same opening. The opening is secured against unintentional leakage by a closure unit. The functioning of the liquid dispenser is the same as in the embodiment 1 a.

The filling works as in version "1a". To do this, the free opening on the connector is led into a container with liquid. When the pump unit is triggered, gas is first pumped out through the opening on the connector. The resulting negative pressure then causes the liquid to flow into the opening and the hose is filled. This process is repeated until liquid flows out of the opening when the pump unit is triggered and the hose 5 is completely filled with liquid.

When the liquid dispenser is then used, the pump unit is triggered when the closure unit is open and the excess pressure causes liquid to flow out of the opening. Due to the subsequent negative pressure, gas flows into the hose and pushes the liquid on, so that a cycle within the Hose system is created. This cycle is indicated schematically in Fig. 6 with directional arrows.

7 shows in a schematic representation an embodiment “2” as a further development of the invention. Version “2” has a ventilation element 4 at one end of the hose. The other end of the tube 5 serves as an inlet and outlet for the liquid. The ventilation element 4 has the properties of liquid impermeable on both sides, but to be gas permeable. This can serve to keep the system liquid-tight on both sides, but if necessary to enable air to pass through and thus pressure equalization. This may be necessary when the hose is emptied or filled. The hose can be filled with a syringe via the inlet and outlet. The venting element prevents the liquid from escaping at the other end of the hose. As soon as the tube is filled with liquid, a direct outflow of the liquid can be prevented by closing the Dosierungsele Mentes 27. When the liquid is let out, the dosing element is opened so that liquid exits the inlet and outlet and gas to equalize pressure enters at the other end of the hose through the ventilation element.

The hose 5 of FIG. 7, like the embodiments “1 a and 1 b”, can have a jacket, a printing or a combination or be exposed. The length adjustment unit 20 is used to vary the length of the hose for the benefit of the user.

Fig. 8 (additional variant) shows in a schematic representation an embodiment of an additional variant, applicable to each of the listed embodiments.

The hose extension piece marked 24 in the figure can be attached to the hose 5 by means of a plug-in system in order to lengthen it and to be able to store more liquid. It is arbitrary how many such hose supplementary pieces are used on the hose 5. It must be noted that the hose accessories in Fig. 1 and Fig. 5 must be added between the non-return valves, and in Fig. 7 between the inlet and outlet and ventilation element must be placed in order to guarantee the functioning of the liquid dispenser.

The plug-in system 25 shows in a schematic representation that the respective ends of the hose extension pieces can be connected, for example by means of a plug-in coupling. 9a shows, in a schematic representation, a possible filling system in the form of a syringe 35 for embodiment “2”. In this optional configuration, the syringe has a Luer lock connection with an internal thread so that the syringe can be screwed onto the threaded part 29 in airtight manner. When the syringe is connected to the threaded part, the liquid can be injected into the hose.

9b and 9c show in a schematic representation the filling with the aid of a liquid container with an internal thread as an outlet. This outlet can be screwed airtight onto the threaded part 29. The liquid container 40 can then be turned over so that the liquid can run into the liquid dispenser.

The examples for filling the liquid dispenser 1 in FIGS. 9a and 9b can also be transferred to the advantageous embodiment “4”.

Fig. 10 shows in a schematic representation possible designs for holding stanchions which can connect the liquid dispenser with a lifestyle object 26. A washer or adhesive washer, as in FIG. 10a, could be positioned under a smartphone filling and this could be connected to the liquid dispenser. In addition, the liquid dispenser, such as, for example, in Fig. 10a and b, by means of rings or fastening devices 19 connected to the sheath could be attached. Fig. 10c shows a schematic representation of a special smartphone Flalterung for the liquid dispenser 1. An inlay cutout 44 is connected to the liquid dispenser by eyelets. In the smartphone cover there is an insert cutout 43 for the insert cutout. The insert cutout can be pressed into the insert cutout so that when the smartphone is inserted into the cover, the insert cutout and the insert cutout are firmly fixed one inside the other. Fig. 10d shows a schematic representation of a fold, which can connect the liquid dispenser with, for example, a flanged pocket with carabiner-like connecting elements or similar fastenings. The liquid dispenser can be connected to any kind of object, which serves to ensure that you do not forget it. The folding can be variable, but it is an important part of this invention.

11 shows, in a schematic representation, the embodiment “3” as a further development of the invention, in which a pump unit 6 is dispensed with. Instead, the liquid is moved in the direction of the outlet through a wheel / ball lock 28 in the hose system. The inlet and outlet 13/14 are at the same hose end and use the same opening. The hose end is additionally secured by a closure unit 15 secured against unintentional leakage. The other end of the hose is open. A fixing unit of the wheel / ball lock is released during use. This allows the wheel / ball lock to be moved in the direction of the inlet and outlet. This causes liquid to drip out of the hose. The brake unit is then closed.

According to claim 1 it is provided that the support body in the form of the tube has a length of at least 60 cm and that it is designed to be carried over a shoulder, a neck or around a waist of a user. FIGS. 12a-d, 14a-14f and 15a and 15b illustrate how this can preferably be understood.

12a-d further illustrate by way of example which objects can be connected to the liquid dispenser on the basis of the embodiment “1a”.

Fig. 12a shows a schematic representation of the way the liquid dispenser is worn, in which the liquid dispenser is hung over the shoulder, crossed over the body and connected to a smartphone by means of the flaltering, which rests against the hip due to the adjustment of the length adjustment unit.

Fig. 12b shows in a schematic representation a way of carrying the liquid dispenser, in which the liquid dispenser 1 is hung around a neck of a user and is connected by the holder, for example, to a trade fair ticket, which hangs at the level of the chest. The height of the hanging trade fair ticket is variable thanks to the length adjustment unit.

Fig. 12c shows a schematic representation of a way of carrying the liquid dispenser, in which the liquid dispenser 1 is hung around a shoulder of a user and carries a bag through the holder. The height of the hanging bag is variable thanks to the length adjustment unit.

Fig. 12d shows a schematic representation of the way the liquid dispenser is worn, in which the liquid dispenser 1 is placed around a user's waist and thus simultaneously serves as a belt or a similar fashion accessory. The seat of the liquid dispenser serving as a belt can be variably selected or adjusted using the length adjustment unit.

The examples for using the liquid dispenser 1 in FIGS. 12a-12d can also be transferred to the advantageous embodiments “2-4”.

13a shows a schematic representation of a further embodiment “4a” a liquid dispenser 1, here provided with a hose, here for example egg nem sheathed hose 2, as a support body, two connecting parts 29 on the hose ends and two spray pumps 21 on the connecting parts.

The hose is put into a loop and in turn forms a circumferentially closed ring, which is shaped somewhat oval here. For this purpose, the hose 2 is guided at both ends through a length adjustment unit 20 so that on the one hand the circumferentially closed ring is formed and on the other hand the hose ends can protrude differently from the length adjustment unit 20 depending on the diameter of the ring or the loop, in which the hose ends are displaceable ver. In this way, the two hose ends are each a little over the circumference of the ring.

The two hose ends are arranged here in opposite directions and the hose 2 is thus connected to one another by the length adjustment unit 20.

The hose can also be printed or unprocessed.

Furthermore, an object 26, here a smartphone, is attached to the liquid dispenser.

The liquid dispenser can preferably be worn around the neck. But it can also be worn around the shoulder / shoulders or the waist. The hose ends with the spray pumps 21 can then be moved accordingly so that the spray pumps 21 are directed downwards towards the floor so that the liquid can flow into the spray pumps 21 under the force of gravity.

13b shows, in a schematic representation, an embodiment “4b” of a liquid dispenser with printing 34 on the outside of the hose as a support body. The two hose ends are net angeord pointing parallel in one direction. It is advantageous here that the spray pumps are automatically directed towards the floor when the liquid dispenser is carried around the neck.

With the "4a" and "4b" versions, the user of the liquid dispenser can grab one of the two spray pumps 21 and spray the part of the body or object to be moistened with the liquid by actuating the spray pump 21. He can then let go of the spray pump 21 again so that the spray pump 21 is oriented towards the floor and liquid can flow into the spray pump. The inlet and / or outlet 13/14 when the spray pumps 21 are removed lead into the at least one hollow chamber 5a. This can have a volume of 15 cm ³ to 100 cm ³ . Compared to other mobile disinfectant dispensers, this one can store a very large volume of liquid, especially since it can be designed to be relatively long.

The length adjustment unit 20 can preferably be used to adjust how tightly or loosely the liquid dispenser rests around the body.

14a-f further illustrate by way of example how and, if applicable, what type of objects can be fastened to the liquid dispenser, for example by means of a holder - on the basis of embodiment “4a”.

14a and 13b show a schematic representation of a way of carrying the liquid dispenser, in which the liquid dispenser 1 is hung around a shoulder of a groove and carries a bag through the holder. The height of the hanging bag is variable thanks to the length adjustment unit.

14c shows, in a schematic representation, a way of carrying the liquid dispenser, in which the liquid dispenser 1 is hung around a waist of a user and carries a bag through the holder.

14d shows, in a schematic representation, a way of carrying the liquid dispenser, in which the liquid dispenser 1 is hung over the shoulders of a user and wears trousers through the holder.

14e and 14f show, in a schematic representation, a way of carrying the liquid dispenser, in which the liquid dispenser 1 is hung around both shoulders of a user and carries a backpack through the holder. The height of the hanging rucksack is variable thanks to the length adjustment unit.

The examples for using the liquid dispenser 1 in FIGS. 14a-14f can also be transferred to the advantageous embodiments “1-3”.

15a-c further illustrate by way of example the objects to which the liquid dispenser can be attached by means of fastening options, based on embodiment “4a”. The liquid dispenser is not enclosed in the scope. 15a shows in a schematic representation the attachment of the liquid dispenser with the aid of loops 41 on the shoulder straps of a backpack. The liquid dispenser is guided through the loops and can be attached to the shoulder straps and removed again at any time.

15b shows a schematic representation of the fastening of the liquid dispenser with the aid of loops 41 on the carrying strap of a shoulder bag.

The liquid dispenser is guided through the loops and can be attached to and removed from the shoulder strap at any time.

15c shows a schematic representation of the fastening of the liquid dispenser with the aid of clamps 42 on the shoulder strap of a shoulder bag. The liquid dispenser is pressed into the clamps and can be attached and removed again at any time.

The examples for using the liquid dispenser 1 in FIGS. 15a-15c can also be transferred to the advantageous embodiments “1-3”.

The length adjustment unit 20 can be designed in the most varied of ways.

16a shows a schematic representation of the length adjustment unit in a top view and a perspective view.

In this embodiment, a gap 39 is formed on both sides of an “8-shaped” length adjustment unit. The gap 39 must be smaller than the outer diameter of the hose or the sheathed hose 2. In this way, the hose 2 is held well on the one hand, but it can become detached from the length adjustment unit if a limit force is exceeded.

The respective gaps 39 can thus cause the hose to detach from the length adjustment unit if the liquid dispenser gets stuck on an object, so that it forms a personal protection that forms a release device when the liquid dispenser is being carried, from which the hose can detach if a Limit force is exceeded. This can form a safety device. The length adjustment unit can also be performed without such personal protection. The embodiment of the length adjustment unit of FIG. 16a is preferably considered for the embodiment 4a of the liquid dispenser.

In Fig. 16b, a further embodiment of the Län genverstelleinheit is shown in a plan view and a perspective view in a schematic representation. An eyelet 38 is formed on the length adjustment unit, on which a Object, for example another object such as a card, an employee card or a trade fair ticket, can be attached. This version of the length adjustment unit 20 is primarily - but not only - intended for the "1 b" version of the liquid dispenser.

A connection part 29 between hose 1 and spray pump 21 is shown in a schematic representation in FIGS. 17a-c.

The connecting part 29 here has a lower web 32, a middle part 30 and an attachment with a thread 12. A pocket 31 can be integrated into the middle part 30. Through the entire connecting part, a vertical through hole is guided to lead the body of the spray pump.

The hose 5 is pulled over the web 32 and can be attached, for example, by a connecting means such as an adhesive (FIG. 17a), a barb 11 (FIG. 17b), a plug-in coupling or by crimping 37 (FIG. 17c).

The connecting part 29 can also have a pocket into which the end of the hose can be inserted. In addition, the pocket can optionally be pressed against the hose 5 by crimping the hose so that the hose is firmly fixed on the web (FIG. 17c). The external thread at the upper end can be used to attach the spray pump to the connecting part. Alternatively, another type of connection for attaching the spray pump to the connecting part can be used.

In Fig. 18, an advantageous attachment of the spray pump 21 to the connecting part 29 with a thread 12 is shown by way of example in a schematic representation.

19 shows in a schematic representation a possible filling of the liquid dispenser of the versions “4a” and “4b”. For this purpose, the spray pump is removed from the connection part at one end of the hose. A syringe 35, a syringe with an attached cannula 36 or a small funnel is then used. In Fig. 19, the syringe with the cannula is inserted into the through hole of the connec tion part in the hose in a cross section of the hose and the connecting part. The liquid can be conveyed into the hose with the syringe and the air can escape through the gap between the cannula and the wall of the connecting part. Furthermore, the two spray pumps can be removed from the hose ends and moved upwards be judged. The disinfectant dispenser can then be filled.

The filling process can be repeated until the hose and / or tank are completely filled with liquid. The outlet is then closed with a closure unit such as a spray pump.
