Embodiment Construction

[0032] figure 1 The device 1 is shown having a distributor 6 with an outlet 3 and a closure cap 4 for closing the outlet 3 . The device 1 is shown in an open position, wherein the outlet 3 is open. In the open position, the device 1 can be used to dispense material from the outlet 3 to the desired location.

[0033] The dispenser 6 has a closure 4 and a main body 5 interconnected in a pivotable manner. Thus, the closure 4 and the main body 5 can move or rotate relative to each other. In this example, said interconnection is formed by a hinge 8 . Thus, the closure 4 is movable relative to the body 5 towards a closed position in which the outlet 3 as figure 2 Closed as shown. In said closed position, the outlet is preferably sealed by the closure 4, so that the material to be dispensed is prevented from flowing through the outlet.

[0034] figure 1 and figure 2 The device 1 shown has a longitudinal dimension substantially along the longitudinal axis A. As shown in FIG....

Abstract

A dispenser comprises a body with an outlet, and a closure for the outlet. The closure and the body are pivotally movable relative to each other between an open position in which the outlet is open and a closed position in which the closure closes the outlet. The closure and the body are adapted for locking engagement with each another in the closed position. The closure has a locking member for locking and unlocking the closure and the body in the closed position. A force applied on the locking member for unlocking urges the closure toward the open position. The dispenser preferably facilitates the application of a material to be dispensed to a desired location.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a device for dispensing flowable material, especially dental material. Background technique [0002] Dental materials are typically provided in packages designed to facilitate the preparation and / or administration of the materials in the practice of the dentist. Flowable dental materials are typically provided, for example, in dropper bottles that enable the material to be dispensed in small drops, allowing the user to easily determine the desired amount. [0003] For example, US 5,246,145 discloses a dispensing bottle device having a dispensing closure that can be secured to the bottle. The dispensing closure has a dropper nozzle and a separate cap for closing the nozzle. The cap is pivotally secured to the dispensing closure to open and reclose the nozzle. The dropper bottle also has a locking mechanism for locking the cap onto the nozzle. [0004] While the variety of packages used in the dental industry is advan...
