Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a multifunctional dispenser for dispensing cleaning active liquids. Background Technology

[0002] A similar multi-functional dispenser is disclosed, for example, in publication DE 37 44 438 A1. According to this, the corresponding multi-functional dispenser consists of a closed first housing portion for cloth, nonwoven fabric, and paper, and a separately closable second housing portion integrally formed therewith on the longitudinal side for liquids, powders, or pastes, as well as a liquid dispenser for said substance. A disadvantage of this multi-functional dispenser is that the first and second housing portions have a relatively large volume, thus the known multi-functional dispensers occupy a relatively large space. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The objective of this invention is therefore to point out an improved or at least different embodiment of a multi-function dispenser. In particular, an attempt should be made to provide a more compact multi-function dispenser.

[0004] In this invention, this task is accomplished particularly through the subject matter described below. Advantageous embodiments are also described below.

[0005] The basic concept of this invention is to stack the first and second housing parts and the multi-functional dispenser, so that the proposed multi-functional dispenser is relatively compact and space-saving.

[0006] To this end, a multi-functional dispenser for dispensing a cleaning active liquid is provided, having a multi-piece housing extending in the main extension direction, particularly along a straight central axis. This housing has a one-piece first canister-shaped housing portion suitable for containing medical supplies, and a one-piece second canister-shaped housing portion suitable for containing the cleaning active liquid, disposed in contact with, i.e., in contact with, the first housing portion. The cleaning active liquid can be, for example, a disinfectant, soap, or fragrance. According to the understanding of the invention, the cleaning active liquid can be present not only in liquid or powder form, but also in paste form. The medical supplies are preferably hygiene products such as face masks, tissues, cleaning agents, or disinfectants. In any case, the first housing portion defines a straight first central axis in its main extension direction and has a loading channel for the passage of the medical supplies. At least one medical supply is placed into the first housing portion through the loading channel. The second housing portion defines a straight second central axis in its main extension direction and stores the cleaning active liquid. The multi-functional dispenser also has a liquid dispenser for dispensing the cleaning active liquid, preferably manually operable. It, in turn, defines a straight central axis for the dispenser in its main extension direction. When the liquid dispenser is operated, especially manually, a predetermined volume or mass of cleaning active liquid is dispensed from the second housing portion and, in particular, distributed outside the housing. Importantly for this invention is that the central axis, the dispenser's central axis, the first central axis, and the second central axis are coaxially oriented. Thus, the components of the multi-functional dispenser are aligned about their respective axes, allowing for a compact design. This is particularly advantageous when the first and second housing portions are rotationally symmetrical about their respective axes. Furthermore, the liquid dispenser can be fixed to the first and / or second housing portions, so that all the components of the liquid dispenser form a single structural unit.

[0007] Preferably, the first housing portion and the second housing portion are separable from each other. This can be achieved, for example, between the first housing portion and the second housing portion via a threaded connection, a quick-release connection, a fast-locking connection, or a clamping connection. This has the effect that the two separate housing portions can be separated from each other without damage and then secured together again without any other auxiliary means.

[0008] Furthermore, the liquid dispenser, when operated particularly manually, can dispense a predetermined volume or mass of cleaning active liquid from the second housing portion, and not only dispense, but also either into the first housing portion to wet at least one medical item disposed therein, or particularly dispense outside the housing. The liquid dispenser preferably has a cylindrical dispenser rod extending along the central axis of the dispenser for the passage of the cleaning active liquid, wherein a ball-handle-shaped dispenser head, accessible from the outside, particularly from outside the housing, is disposed at one end on the dispenser rod, particularly at the free end of the dispenser rod. From this point, a hollow dispenser nozzle, protruding at an angle, particularly at a right angle, about the central axis of the dispenser, and in fluid communication with the dispenser rod, is provided for dispensing the cleaning active liquid. The dispenser rod at least partially passes through the first and second housing portions, respectively. The term "ball-handle-shaped" preferably describes a sphere, ellipsoid, or button-shaped body. An operating force, particularly parallel to the central axis of the dispenser, can be manually applied to the dispenser head to operate the liquid dispenser, allowing the cleaning active liquid to be delivered or pumped from the second housing section through the dispenser rod to the dispenser nozzle. This primarily has the advantage that the liquid dispenser can be used relatively comfortably by the user. Furthermore, this provides a multi-functional dispenser that, on the one hand, can dispense cleaning active liquids, especially disinfectants or soaps, to, for example, a user, and on the other hand, can wet and / or scent medical supplies, especially hygiene products such as face masks, tissues, cleaning agents, or disinfectants placed inside the multi-functional dispenser with the same liquid. This has the advantage of providing dual functionality, thereby eliminating the need for two separate devices, each performing a single function.

[0009] Preferably, a corrugated sleeve with multiple ridges formed along the central axis of the liquid dispenser can be disposed between the dispenser head and the housing. The corrugated sleeve can be disposed at one end on the first or second housing portion and at the other end on the dispenser head in a movable contact manner or a fixed contact manner.

[0010] More preferably, the liquid dispenser can be contactably fixed to the first housing portion, wherein the dispenser rod completely passes through the first housing portion and partially passes through the second housing portion. Alternatively, the liquid dispenser can be contactably fixed to the second housing portion, wherein the dispenser rod then partially passes through the first housing portion and completely passes through the second housing portion. In particular, it can be specified here that the dispenser head of the liquid dispenser is located in an exposed portion easily accessible to the user, wherein the first housing portion follows the dispenser head in the direction of the dispenser's central axis, followed by the second housing portion. Alternatively, it can also be specified that the dispenser head of the liquid dispenser is located in an exposed portion easily accessible to the user, wherein the second housing portion is first connected to the dispenser head in the direction of the dispenser's central axis, followed by the first housing portion. In other words, the first and second housing portions can also be arranged in reverse order in the direction of the dispenser's central axis. This has the advantage that the proposed multi-functional dispenser can be adapted relatively flexibly to very different installation situations, such as in the center console of a motor vehicle.

[0011] Preferably, the liquid dispenser may have a disinfectant outlet disposed within a first housing portion for delivering a cleaning active liquid into the first housing portion to wet at least one medical item disposed within the first housing portion. The disinfectant outlet may be disposed on the dispenser rod. In particular, a ball-handle type dispenser head, accessible from the outside, especially from outside the housing, may be provided at one end of the free end of the dispenser rod, and the disinfectant outlet is disposed internally, for example, at half the length of the dispenser rod. This has the advantageous effect that, when an operating force for operating the liquid dispenser is applied to the dispenser head, for example manually, the cleaning active liquid can be delivered or pumped from the second housing portion through the dispenser rod to the disinfectant outlet or dispenser nozzle. Thus, the medical item disposed in the first housing portion can be wetted with the cleaning active liquid and thereby, for example, disinfected. This has the advantage that the corresponding medical item can be relatively comfortably wetted or disinfected by the user using the liquid dispenser.

[0012] Additionally, the disinfectant dispensing section can be composed of an opening assembly with multiple spray nozzles. Preferably, the dispenser rod of the liquid dispenser can have a hollow cylindrical tube body, on which the spray nozzles of the opening assembly are disposed or formed, on a solid tube shell that is not considered equal to its circumference. It may be advantageous that the spray nozzles are arranged here with equal longitudinal spacing in the direction of the dispenser's central axis and with equal circumferential spacing in the circumferential direction around the dispenser's central axis. This ensures that medical supplies placed in the multifunctional dispenser are uniformly and completely, especially comprehensively, wetted with the cleaning active liquid.

[0013] Preferably, the loading channel can be axially arranged between the first housing portion and the second housing portion, particularly in its assembled state, along the directions of the first and second central axes, and is fluid-tightly and / or completely or sealable by the second housing portion. Thus, the first housing portion containing the medical supplies is sealed or sealable through the second housing portion, thereby preventing the medical supplies from being lost and allowing them to be contained within the first housing portion. This provides the advantage that the medical supplies will not be lost and the separate cap for covering the first housing portion can be discarded. Consequently, the multi-functional dispenser can be lightweight and inexpensive due to the resulting relatively small total number of parts.

[0014] More preferably, the dispenser head of the liquid dispenser is rotatably mounted on the dispenser rod in a manually operated manner, and can rotate back and forth about the central axis of the dispenser between exactly two, exactly three, or at least three different rotational positions. When the dispenser head is rotated to a first rotational position, referred to as the locked position, the liquid dispenser is locked in the direction of the central axis of the dispenser, preventing the delivery of the cleaning active liquid into the first housing via the disinfectant outlet and dispensing via the dispenser nozzle. In the first rotational position, the dispenser head defines a reference angle, for example, 0°. Furthermore, when the dispenser head is rotated to a second rotational position, referred to as the dispensing position, the liquid dispenser is operable in the direction of the central axis of the dispenser by, for example, manually applying an operating force to the dispenser head. This allows the cleaning active liquid to be delivered, in particular, pumped through the dispenser rod and dispensed via the dispensing nozzle to, for example, the user's hand. In the second rotational position, the dispenser head defines a dispensing angle offset from the reference angle within an angle range of +10° to +90°. If three or at least three rotational positions are provided, the liquid dispenser can be operated in the direction of the dispenser's central axis by applying an operating force, for example manually, to the dispenser head when the dispenser head is rotated to a third rotational position, referred to as the wetting position. This allows the dispenser to guide a cleaning active liquid from the second housing portion through the dispenser rod to the disinfectant outlet portion, and at least one medical item disposed within the first housing portion is wetted. In the third rotational position, the dispenser head is defined as a wetting angle offset from a reference angle within an angular range of -10° to -90°. This also provides a multi-functional dispenser that, on the one hand, can dispense cleaning active liquids, especially disinfectants or soaps, for example, to the user, and on the other hand, can wet and / or scent medical items, especially hygiene products such as face masks, tissues, cleaning agents, or disinfectants, placed inside the multi-functional dispenser with the same liquid. The dispenser head can, for example, be manually switched between the rotational positions. This has the advantage of providing a dual function that can be comfortably controlled.

[0015] Alternatively, the first housing portion and / or the second housing portion can be integrated into the center console of the vehicle. Thus, the multi-function distributor can be easily integrated into the vehicle and comfortably positioned within the vehicle for the vehicle user.

[0016] Preferably, a basket or grid for receiving and securing at least one medical item can be disposed within the first housing portion. Additionally, the spray nozzles of the opening assembly can each be configured as atomizers. Furthermore, the loading channel can have or be formed as a circular channel suitable for manually inserting and removing at least one medical item from the first housing portion. Alternatively, the loading channel can be specified to have or be formed as a slit-like output mechanism, particularly a cross-shaped or star-shaped slit, or a tenon-like / single-slit channel, respectively suitable for the passage and distribution of at least one medical item stored in the first housing portion.

[0017] In summary, it is noteworthy that the present invention preferably relates to a multifunctional dispenser for dispensing a cleaning active liquid, comprising a housing having a first canister-shaped housing portion adapted to contain medical supplies and a second canister-shaped housing portion disposed therebetween adapted to contain the cleaning active liquid. The first housing portion defines a first central axis, has a loading channel for passage of medical supplies, and stores at least one medical supply, which is placed into the first housing portion through the loading channel. The second housing portion defines a second central axis and stores the cleaning active liquid. The multifunctional dispenser is also equipped with an operable liquid dispenser defining a central axis for dispensing the cleaning active liquid. Importantly for the present invention, when operated, the liquid dispenser delivers a predetermined volume or mass of cleaning active liquid from the second housing portion, and either delivers it into the first housing portion to wet at least one medical supply disposed therein, or dispenses it to a user. The central axis of the dispenser, the first central axis, and the second central axis are here coaxially oriented.

[0018] Other important features and advantages of the invention are derived from the figures and the accompanying drawings.

[0019] Obviously, the features described above and explained below may be used not only in the combinations specified therein, but also in other combinations or individually, without exceeding the scope of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0020] Preferred embodiments of the invention are shown in the figures and explained in detail in the following description, wherein the same reference numerals refer to the same or similar or functionally identical components. They are illustrated schematically here as follows:

[0026] Figure 6 Shown in perspective Figure 5 The multi-functional dispenser, but the two housing sections of the multi-functional dispenser are now arranged spaced apart from each other so that medical supplies can be removed from the first housing section. Detailed Implementation

[0027] Figure 1-6 The figure shows a multi-functional dispenser, generally indicated by reference numeral 1, for dispensing a cleaning active liquid 2. Such a cleaning active liquid 2 is, for example, a disinfectant, soap, or fragrance, which can be present, for example, in liquid, powder, or paste form, and all provide cleaning and / or disinfecting and / or fragrance effects.

[0028] Figure 1-3 A preferred first embodiment of the multi-functional distributor 1 of the present invention is shown, which is integrated, for example, into the center console 36 of a motor vehicle. Figure 1 One side shows the longitudinally separated center console 36 of the vehicle (not shown), its cross-section indicated by shaded lines. The center console 36 is provided with a receiving recess for accommodating a multi-function distributor 1, which is inserted into in contact and secured, for example by clamping, threading, or bonding, so as to be fixed in place and vibration-free during vehicle operation.

[0029] according to Figure 1-3The multi-functional dispenser 1 for dispensing cleaning active liquid 2 has a multi-piece housing 3, which extends, for example, along a straight central axis 5 in the main extension direction 4. The multi-piece housing 3 has an integral first canister-shaped housing portion 7 suitable for containing medical supplies 6, such as face masks, tissues, cleaning agents, or disinfectants, and an integral second canister-shaped housing portion 8 disposed therein suitable for containing the cleaning active liquid 2. The first housing portion 7, in particular made of plastic, defines a straight first central axis 10 in its main extension direction 9 and has a loading channel 11 through which the medical supplies 6 pass, which is, for example, a cylindrical channel 37. Figure 1 For example, a single medical device 6 is placed inside the first housing portion 7. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As can be seen, the first housing portion 7 is integrally machined into or mounted on the center console 36, which facilitates the integration of the multi-function dispenser 1 into the vehicle and allows for comfortable access by the user. The second housing portion 8, also made of plastic, defines a straight second central axis 13 in its main extension direction 12 and internally stores a predetermined volume or mass of cleaning active liquid 2. For example, the loading channel 11, especially in its assembled state, is axially arranged between the first housing portion 7 and the second housing portion 8 in the direction of the first central axis 10 and the second central axis 13 and is designed to be fluid-tightly closed by the second housing portion 8. In other words, the second housing portion 8 acts as a cover to close the loading channel 11 of the first housing portion 7.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the housing portion 8 can be removed from the housing portion 7 to remove or insert the medical item 6 from the first housing portion 7. Figure 1-3 In this arrangement, the first housing portion 7 and the second housing portion 8 are detachably connected to each other, for example by means of a threaded connection 17, thereby obtaining an advantageous option that allows the two separate housing portions 7 and 8 to be separated from each other without damage and then fixed together.

[0031] according to Figure 1-3 The multi-functional dispenser 1 also has a manually operable liquid dispenser 14 mounted, for example, by screws or integrally formed on the second housing portion 8, for dispensing a cleaning active liquid 2. It defines a central axis 16 of the dispenser in its main extension direction 15. When the liquid dispenser 14 is applied, for example by applying a... Figure 1When operated by or to be operated by the manually applied force 21 indicated by the arrow, a predetermined volume or mass of cleaning active liquid 2 is conveyed from inside the second housing part 8, in particular pumped out, and either fed into the first housing part 7 to wet the medical supplies 6 placed therein, or dispensed to the user. This generally provides a multi-functional dispenser 1 that dispenses cleaning active liquid 2 to the user and can wet and / or scent the medical supplies 6 placed in the multi-functional dispenser 1 with the same liquid 2. To make the multi-functional dispenser 1 compact, for example, the central axis 5, the dispenser central axis 16, the first central axis 10, and the second central axis 13 are parallel and coaxially oriented. Thus, the components of the multi-functional dispenser 1 are located on the same line and parallel to each other about their respective axes. This is particularly advantageous when the first housing part 7 and the second housing part 8 are designed to be rotationally symmetrical about their respective axes.

[0032] You can also Figure 1-3 As seen in the image, the liquid dispenser 14 has a through-cylindrical dispenser rod 18 extending along the central axis 16 of the dispenser for the passage of the cleaning active liquid 2. The dispenser rod 18 has, for example, a hollow cylindrical tube 26 with a solid shell 27 having a rotating circumferential surface. The dispenser rod 18 partially passes through the first housing portion 7 and completely passes through the second housing portion 8. A ball-handle-shaped dispenser head 19, accessible from the outside of the housing, is mounted on one end of the dispenser rod 18, onto which the operating force 21 is preferably transmitted to pump the liquid dispenser 14. A dispenser nozzle 20, in fluid communication with the dispenser rod 18, is integrally formed on the dispenser head 19, protruding at an angle, particularly a right angle, about the central axis 16 of the dispenser, and is used to dispense the cleaning active liquid 2 when the liquid dispenser 14 is operated, particularly with the operating force 21. A corrugated sleeve 22, for example, with multiple pleats formed along the central axis 16 of the dispenser between the dispenser head 19 and the second housing portion 8. Furthermore, the liquid dispenser 14 has a disinfectant outlet 23 disposed within the first housing portion 7, facing the medical item 6, for delivering a cleaning active liquid 2 into the first housing portion 7 to wet the medical item 6 disposed within the first housing portion 7. The disinfectant outlet 23 can be integrally formed on the dispenser rod 18 and centered internally or disposed at the other end on the dispenser rod 18. Thus, the liquid dispenser 14 can be operated when the operating force 21 is applied to the dispenser head 19, wherein the cleaning active liquid 2 is delivered or pumped from the second housing portion 7 through the dispenser rod 18 to the disinfectant outlet 23 or the dispenser nozzle 20. Thus, the cleaning active liquid 2 can be used to wet, for example, disinfect, the medical item 6 disposed in the first housing portion 7. Figure 1 and Figure 2As can be seen, the disinfectant output section 23 consists of a single spray nozzle 24 arranged on the casing 27 of the dispenser rod 18. Of course, it is also conceivable that there may be more than one spray nozzle 24. The spray nozzle 24 may also be composed of an atomizer.

[0033] at last, Figure 3 The multi-functional dispenser 1 is shown in perspective, thus revealing that the dispenser head 19 and dispenser nozzle 20 can rotate back and forth in a circumferential direction 28 about the central axis 16 of the dispenser, for example, between three angularly offset rotational positions 29. For this purpose, the dispenser head 19 is rotatably mounted on the dispenser rod 18 or the first or second housing portions 7, 8. Figure 3 The liquid dispenser 14 is shown to be inoperable in the direction of the central axis 16 when the dispenser head 19 is rotated to the first rotational position 29, referred to as the locked position 30. Therefore, the liquid dispenser 14 cannot deliver the cleaning active liquid 2 into the first housing 7 via the disinfectant outlet 23, nor can it dispense it to the user via the dispenser nozzle 20. The dispenser head 19 is defined at this rotational position 29 by a reference angle 33, specifically, for example, 0°.

[0034] exist Figure 3 The diagram also illustrates, with the aid of dotted lines, that the liquid dispenser 14, when the dispenser head 19 is rotated to a second rotational position 29, referred to as the dispensing position 31, can be operated in the direction of the dispenser's central axis 16 by applying an operating force 21 in that direction. This allows the liquid dispenser 14 to deliver, in particular pump, a certain mass or volume of cleaning active liquid 2 through the dispenser rod 18 and distribute it to the user via the dispenser nozzle 20. In this rotational position 29, the dispenser head 19 defines a so-called dispensing angle 34, which rotates angularly relative to the reference angle 33 within an angle range of +10° to +90°.

[0035] Still Figure 3As shown, the liquid dispenser 14 can be operated by applying an operating force 21 to the dispenser head 19 in the direction of the dispenser central axis 16 when the dispenser head 19 is rotated to a third rotational position 29, referred to as the wetting position 32. This allows the cleaning active liquid 2 to be guided from the second housing portion 8 through the dispenser rod 18 of the liquid dispenser 14 to the disinfectant output portion 23, so that the medical supplies 6 placed in the first housing portion 7 can finally be wetted with the cleaning active liquid 2 via the spray nozzle 24. In this rotational position 29, the dispenser head 19 defines a so-called wetting angle 35, which rotates at an angle relative to the reference angle 33 within an angle range of -10° to -90°. This allows the cleaning active liquid 2 to be dispensed to the user on the one hand, and the same liquid 2 to be used to wet and / or scent the medical supplies 6 placed in the multi-functional dispenser 1 on the other hand.

[0036] Figure 4 Another preferred embodiment of the multifunctional dispenser 1 of the present invention is shown in perspective. It differs from the multifunctional dispenser 1 according to the preceding embodiment in that the liquid dispenser 14 is now mounted on the first housing 7 instead of the second housing portion 8, and its dispenser rod 18 passes completely through the first housing portion 7 and partially through the second housing portion 8. In any case, the functions of the liquid dispenser 14 remain substantially unchanged, especially since the dispenser head 19 can also be operated toward the three rotational positions 29. The disinfectant output portion 23 of the dispenser rod 18, built into the first housing portion 7 and facing the medical supplies 6, is now also arranged in the form of rows of grouped spray nozzles 24, which together form an opening group 25. These are, for example, nebulizers. For example, these spray nozzles 24 are arranged with the same longitudinal spacing in the direction of the dispenser's central axis 16 and with the same circumferential spacing in the circumferential direction 28 around the dispenser's central axis 16. This ensures that the medical supplies 6 placed in the multifunctional dispenser 1 can be uniformly and completely, especially thoroughly, wetted with the cleaning active liquid 2. The first housing portion 7 that houses the medical supplies 6 can preferably be made of transparent plastic.

[0037] Figure 5 Another preferred embodiment of the multi-functional dispenser 1 of the present invention is shown in perspective. It is used to dispense a cleaning active liquid 2, particularly a disinfectant or soap, to the user, as in the previous embodiment. However, the built-in medical supplies 6 cannot be moistened with the cleaning active liquid 2. The multi-functional dispenser 1 can also be installed in… Figure 5 and Figure 6In the center console of a motor vehicle not shown in the figure, specifically, the multi-function dispenser 1 has a multi-piece housing 3 made of plastic extending in the main extension direction 4, particularly along a straight central axis 5. This housing has a one-piece first canister-shaped housing 7 suitable for containing medical supplies 6, especially hygiene products such as face masks, tissues, cleaning agents, or disinfectants, and a one-piece second canister-shaped housing 8 disposed in contact with, i.e., in contact with, the first housing 7, suitable for containing cleaning active liquids 2, especially powders or ointments. The first housing 7 defines a straight first central axis 10 in the main extension direction 9 and forms a loading channel 11 for the passage of medical supplies 6. The loading channel 11 is here designed as a mortise / single slit channel 38, but a slit-type output mechanism, especially one with a cross slit or a star slit, is also conceivable. The loading channel 11 can control the dispensing of medical supplies 6 in this design, and it is particularly suitable for the passage and dispensing of at least one medical supply 6 stored in the first housing 7. For example, at least one unique medical supply 6 is placed within the first housing 7. The second housing portion 8 defines a straight second central axis 13 in its main extension direction 12 and stores a predetermined mass or volume of cleaning active liquid 2. The first housing portion 7 and the second housing portion 8 are, for example, separably disposed from each other, which can be achieved, for example, by a threaded connection 17. Furthermore, the loading channel 11 is arranged axially between the first housing portion 7 and the second housing portion 8, particularly in its assembled state, in the direction of the first central axis 10 and the second central axis 13, and is designed to be fluid-tightly closed by the second housing portion 8. In other words, the second housing portion 8 acts as a cover to close the loading channel 11 of the first housing portion 7. The multi-functional dispenser 1 also includes an operable liquid dispenser 14 for dispensing the cleaning active liquid 2, which is fixed, for example, connected by screws, or integrally formed on the second housing portion 8. In its main extension direction 15, the liquid dispenser 14 defines a straight dispenser central axis 16. When the liquid dispenser 14 is operated, particularly manually, it outputs a predetermined volume or mass of cleaning active liquid 2 from the second housing portion 8 to the user. In particular, the central axis 5, the distributor central axis 16, the first central axis 10, and the second central axis 13 are parallel to each other and preferably coaxial, to achieve a compact design of the multifunctional distributor 1. This is especially advantageous when the first housing portion 7 and the second housing portion 8 are rotationally symmetrical about their respective axes.

[0038] The liquid dispenser 14 has a cylindrical dispenser rod 18 extending along the central axis 16 of the dispenser for the passage, particularly the intake, of the cleaning active liquid 2. The dispenser rod 18 has a cylindrical body 26 with a solid shell 27 that is not considered equivalent to its outer circumference. The dispenser rod 18 protrudes only partially into the second housing portion 8 in the direction of the central axis 16 of the dispenser. A ball-handle-shaped dispenser head 19, accessible from the outside of the housing, is mounted on the dispenser rod 18 at one end of the liquid dispenser 14. From this head, a hollow dispenser nozzle 20, protruding at an angle, particularly a right angle, with respect to the central axis 16 and in fluid communication with the dispenser rod 18, is provided for dispensing the cleaning active liquid 2. A feed tube can also be inserted into the dispenser head 20. Figure 5 The operating force 21, indicated by the corresponding arrows, is specifically oriented parallel to the central axis 16 of the dispenser, thereby operating the liquid dispenser 14. Thus, the cleaning active liquid 2 can be conveyed or pumped from the second housing portion 8 through the dispenser rod 18 to the dispenser nozzle 20 and distributed. For example, a corrugated sleeve 22 with multiple pleats forming in the direction of the central axis 16 is provided between the dispenser head 19 of the liquid dispenser 14 and the housing 3.

[0039] Like the dispenser head 19 of the multi-functional dispenser 1 in the aforementioned embodiment, the dispenser head 19 of the currently described multi-functional dispenser 1 is also mounted on the dispenser rod 18 in a rotatable manner. However, it can only rotate back and forth about the dispenser's central axis 16 between two different rotational positions 29. Figure 5 As can be seen, the dispenser head 19 is rotatably mounted on the dispenser rod 18 or the second housing portion 8, and the liquid dispenser 14 is inoperable in the direction of the dispenser central axis 16 when the dispenser head 19 is rotated to the first rotational position, referred to as the locked position 30, one of the two rotational positions 29; instead, it is prohibited from movement. Therefore, the cleaning active liquid 2 cannot be dispensed to the user via the dispenser nozzle 20 by means of the liquid dispenser 14. The dispenser head 19 defines a reference angle 33, for example, 0°, at this rotational position 29. Figure 5 The diagram also shows that the liquid dispenser 14 can be operated in the direction of the dispenser central axis 16 by an operating force 21 applied to the dispenser head 19 in the direction of the dispenser central axis 16 when the dispenser head 19 is rotated to a second rotational position 29, referred to as the dispensing position 31. Thus, a certain mass or volume of cleaning active liquid 2 can be conveyed, especially pumped, through the dispenser rod 18 by means of the liquid dispenser 14 and distributed to the user via the dispenser nozzle 20. In this rotational position 29, the dispenser head 19 defines a so-called dispensing angle 34, which rotates vertically relative to the reference angle 33 within an angle range of 0° to + / -90°. The opening 24 arranged at the dispenser rod 18 here functions as a suction port.
