Abstract
A dispensing device includes a housing having at least one pressure chamber, having a supply opening for the supply of liquid into the pressure chamber and having a multiplicity of conduits between the pressure chamber and an external side of the housing, there being situated in each of the conduits a tube, the first end of which protrudes into the pressure chamber and the second end of which protrudes out of the housing on the external side.
Claims24
A dispensing device comprising:
- a housing comprising at least one chamber,
- a supply opening configured to supply liquid into the chamber,
- a multiplicity of conduits located between the chamber and the housing, wherein each of the conduits comprises a tube, a first end of the tube protrudes into the chamber and a second end of the tube protrudes out of the housing, and
- a lockable vent opening;
- wherein the housing surrounds the at least one chamber,
- wherein the chamber is cylindrical and is larger in one spatial dimension than in the other two spatial dimensions, and a longitudinal axis of the chamber runs in the direction of the larger dimension, the chamber surrounded by a first wall of the housing arranged parallel to the longitudinal axis of the chamber, the first wall defining an inner diameter of the chamber,
- the supply opening is an opening situated in a second wall of the housing arranged perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the chamber, the first wall defining an inner diameter of the supply opening, and
- the lockable vent opening is an opening situated in a third wall of the housing arranged perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the chamber, wherein the third wall is located opposite to the second wall.
A dispensing system comprising:
