Abstract
A squeeze bottle dispenser having a squeezable liquid reservoir, and a discharge head with a discharge opening. The squeeze bottle dispenser has a protective sleeve captively connected to the liquid reservoir and which, with respect to a main axis, is displaceable relative to the liquid reservoir between a protection position and a release position. In the protection position, the protective sleeve prevents or impedes manual application of force to the liquid reservoir and therefore the discharge of liquid. In the release position, the protective sleeve does not prevent or impede manual application of force to the liquid reservoir and thus permits the discharge of liquid.
Claims22
A squeeze bottle dispenser comprising:
- a liquid reservoir configured as a squeeze bottle;
- a discharge head with a discharge opening;
- and
- a protective sleeve captively connected to the liquid reservoir, the protective sleeve, with respect to a main axis, being displaceable relative to the liquid reservoir between a protection position and a release position in a solely translational movement, a simultaneous translational and rotational movement or sequential translational and rotational movements, wherein in the protection position, the protective sleeve prevents or impedes manual application of force to the liquid reservoir and therefore discharge of liquid, and in the release position, the protective sleeve does not prevent or impede manual application of force to the liquid reservoir and thus permits the discharge of liquid.
A liquid dispenser comprising:
- a liquid reservoir in the form of a bottle body;
- a discharge head with a discharge opening;
- an outer sleeve, the outer sleeve at least temporarily surrounding the bottle body;
- and
- a ring element for fastening or guiding the outer sleeve on the bottle body, the outer sleeve being fixedly or displaceably fastened to an outer face of the ring element, the ring element captively attaching the outer sleeve to the discharge head, the ring element and the outer sleeve each having a stop, and the stop of the ring element and the stop of the outer sleeve together define an end position beyond which the outer sleeve cannot be displaced relative to the ring element.
A liquid dispenser comprising:
- a liquid reservoir in the form of a bottle body;
- a discharge head with a discharge opening;
- an outer sleeve, the outer sleeve at least temporarily surrounding the bottle body;
- and
- a ring element for fastening or guiding the outer sleeve on the bottle body, the outer sleeve being fixedly or displaceably fastened to an outer face of the ring element, the ring element comprising an interrupted ring element having an interruption in one segment, the interruption spanning a maximum of 120°.
