Abstract

A liquid dispenser having a liquid reservoir for storing liquid, an elongated nasal applicator, a nozzle plate with a plurality of nozzle openings at a distal end of the nasal applicator through which liquid is discharged, and a conveying device conveying liquid from the liquid reservoir to the nozzle openings. The conveying device has a movable pressure element serving to pressurize the liquid for discharge. The conveying device has an actuating handle, displaceable for the purpose of actuation, from a starting position into an actuated end position. The actuating handle and the pressure element are connected via a spring accumulator loaded by displacement of the actuating handle into the end position and which accumulator subsequently moves the pressure element. The actuating force stored in the accumulator subsequently continues to move the pressure element once actuation has already concluded and thus brings about an ongoing discharge.

Abstract

A method for evaluating the pump actuation for a pump dispenser that comprises two sub-units which can be moved manually towards one another and a pump which has a pump chamber that can be made smaller by moving the sub-units from a first end position into an actuated second end position. The force with which the sub-units are moved towards one another is detected by a force sensor during movement of the sub-units. The curve over time of the detected force is evaluated such that an increase in force is identified which is characteristic for reaching the actuated second end position. Depending on whether the increase in force was detected, a signal which is characteristic for the result is haptically, acoustically and/or visually output and/or transmitted via a wireless interface to an external display apparatus, by means of an output device.

Abstract

A method is proposed for filling a storage bag (40) of a liquid reservoir (10) of a pharmaceutical or cosmetics dispenser. Provision is made that the storage bag (40) is firstly converted from a first compact state to a first widened state by internal application of gas at an overpressure and/or by exposure to an external underpressure. The storage bag (40) is then compressed again, by internal application of an underpressure and/or by exposure to gas at an external overpressure, and converted to a second compact state. Only thereafter is the storage bag (40) filled with liquid, the storage bag (40) being converted to a second widened state. The method according to the invention lessens the danger of a plant provided for the filling operation being contaminated by liquid that escapes after the filling operation.
