Abstract
A dispensing system with a dispense head and at least one container. The dispense head is connectable to a container opening of the container by means of a screw connection, so that stored material is dispensable from or suppliable to the container by means of the dispense head. There is an actuating ring on the dispense head, wherein the screw connection is established by rotating the actuating ring in a closure direction. The screw connection is released by rotating the actuating ring in a release direction. The actuating ring has an overload protection by means of which an effective closure torque is limited to a limit closure torque when the screw connection is established.
Claims14
A dispensing system, comprising:
- a dispense head;
- and
- a container,
- wherein the dispense head is connectable to a container opening of the container by a screw connection, so that stored material is dispensable from or suppliable to the container by the dispense head;
- and
- an actuating ring arranged on the dispense head,
- wherein the screw connection is established by rotating the actuating ring in a closure direction,
- wherein the screw connection is released by rotating the actuating ring in a release direction, and
- wherein the actuating ring has an overload protection limiting an effective closure torque to a limit closure torque when the screw connection is established,
- wherein the actuating ring is connected to a thread that is screwable onto or unscrewable from a mating thread in an area of the container opening by rotating the actuating ring,
- wherein the actuating ring has an outer ring and an inner ring firmly connected to the thread, and
- wherein overload elements form the overload protection and cause a detachable coupling of the outer ring and the inner ring, and
- wherein each overload element has a locking segment spring-mounted in a cavity running in the radial direction and opening out on the inner jacket surface of the outer ring.
