Description

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sprayers. In particular, the present invention relates to a portable sprayer designed for attachment to a belt element. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a sprayer system comprising a portable sprayer and a belt element.

[0002] Portable sprayers are used, for example, by police departments as part of their security equipment. Portable sprayers are typically equipped with an irritant cartridge, in which case the sprayers are also referred to as irritant sprayers. However, the sprayers can also be equipped with different spray cartridges.

[0003] Portable sprayers typically comprise an elongated housing with two ends along its length. To attach the sprayers to a user's equipment, sprayers often include a belt mount mounted on the housing. Such a belt mount typically extends toward one of the ends. To attach the sprayer to a belt or other belt-like piece of equipment, the belt or belt-like piece of equipment is inserted between the belt mount and the housing.

[0004] The invention addresses the problem of improving the user comfort of a portable sprayer. In particular, the attachment of the sprayer to a belt element and the removal of the sprayer from the belt element are to be made more intuitive.

[0005] According to the invention, a portable spray device having the features of claim 1 is provided.

[0006] The spray device comprises an elongated housing which, based on its longitudinal extent, has two end regions, which are referred to below as the first end region and the second end region. The spray device also comprises a preferably resiliently deformable belt holder which is mounted on the housing. The belt holder comprises at least one mounting section, an intermediate section and a holding section. The belt holder is mounted on the housing by the mounting section. The intermediate section adjoins the mounting section and extends from the mounting section in the direction of the first end region of the end regions, i.e. away from the second end region of the end regions. The holding section adjoins the intermediate section. The holding section is thus connected to the mounting section by the intermediate section. The holding section extends from the intermediate section in the direction of the second end region of the end regions, i.e.away from the first end region of the end regions, so that a belt element can be inserted between the holding section and the intermediate section by displacement in an insertion direction facing the first end region of the end regions of the housing, in order to fasten the spray device to the belt element. The intermediate section and the holding section extend outside the housing, preferably along an outer surface of the housing. The belt element can be oriented perpendicular to the insertion direction when inserted. If the belt element is inserted between the holding section and the intermediate section, the holding section and the intermediate section are arranged on a respective opposite side of the belt element, which is in particular oriented perpendicular to the insertion direction. The spray device is then fastened to the belt element. Slipping out of the belt element in the insertion direction is prevented by the connection of the holding section to the intermediate section.The belt element inserted between the holding section and the intermediate section can be extended by moving it in a direction opposite to the insertion direction to remove the sprayer from the belt element. Of course, the sprayer can also be attached or removed by moving the sprayer itself. Simultaneous movement of the belt element and sprayer is also possible.

[0007] The claimed design of the belt mount allows the sprayer to be attached to the belt element at a 180° angle compared to conventionally used belt mounts. This allows for the individual preferences of a user regarding the orientation of the attached sprayer to be taken into account. A particular advantage is that the 180° angled attachment is achieved solely through the design of the belt element. However, no modification of the sprayer's housing is required.

[0008] In the context of the disclosure, the term "belt element" includes belts but also other belt-shaped elements that may be present, for example, on a uniform.

[0009] In some embodiments, the longitudinal extent of the holding section, i.e., its extension from the intermediate section toward the second end region, is at least 3 cm, preferably at least 5 cm. A holding section dimensioned in this way enables a mechanically robust attachment of the sprayer to a belt element.

[0010] In some embodiments, the longitudinal extent of the intermediate section, i.e. its extension from the mounting section in the direction of the second end region, is at least 3 cm, preferably at least 5 cm.

[0011] In some embodiments, the holding section is designed to apply a tensioning force to the belt element inserted between the holding section and the intermediate section. Where the belt holder exerts a tensioning force on the belt element attached to it, the belt holder is also referred to as a belt clamp.

[0012] In some embodiments, the holding section is designed to form a particularly releasable snap connection with the belt element.

[0013] The holding section can also be designed to form a particularly releasable snap connection with the belt element and to apply a tensioning force to the belt element.

[0014] Preferably, the two end regions of the housing are a lower end region with a base and an upper end region. A middle region of the housing is arranged between the two end regions.

[0015] In some embodiments, the housing comprises a spray opening for spraying a spray substance. Preferably, the upper end region of the housing comprises the spray opening. In some embodiments, the spray opening is formed in a side wall of the housing, preferably in the upper end region. Accordingly, the spray substance can be sprayed through the spray opening, for example, perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the housing.

[0016] In some embodiments, the housing is designed to accommodate a spray cartridge. In these embodiments, the housing preferably comprises an insertion opening for inserting the spray cartridge into the housing. The insertion opening is preferably an axial opening relative to the longitudinal center axis of the housing. The insertion opening can be formed in the lower end region or in the upper end region. Preferably, a cover is associated with the insertion opening, which is pivotally mounted on the housing. The cover can secure the spray device against unintentional activation.

[0017] In some other embodiments, the housing is formed by a cartridge housing of a spray cartridge. The strap holder is then mounted on the cartridge housing of the spray cartridge.

[0018] In particular, the spray contained in the spray cartridge is an irritant. The spray device is then an irritant spray device. However, the spray can also be a dye or a DNA-marking spray.

[0019] In some preferred embodiments, it is provided that the first end region is the upper end region of the housing and the second end region is the lower end region of the housing, wherein the mounting portion is mounted on the lower end region, wherein the intermediate portion extends from the mounting portion towards the upper end region, and wherein the holding portion extends from the intermediate portion towards the lower end region.

[0020] In some other preferred embodiments, it is provided that the first end region is the lower end region of the housing and the second end region is the upper end region of the housing, wherein the mounting portion is mounted on the upper end region, wherein the intermediate portion extends from the mounting portion towards the lower end region, and wherein the holding portion extends from the intermediate portion towards the upper end region.

[0021] In some embodiments, the belt holder is detachably mounted on the housing, particularly at the lower end region or at the upper end region. Particularly preferably, the belt holder is detachably mounted on the housing by means of a detachable form-fitting connection. Detachable mounting has the advantage that the belt holder can be replaced.

[0022] In some embodiments, the mounting portion is held in a form-fitting manner between two housing parts. The housing is thus formed from multiple parts. In these embodiments, the mounting portion is preferably mounted at the lower end region of the housing. For example, the mounting portion is held in a form-fitting manner between a main body of the housing and a bottom portion of the housing.

[0023] In some other embodiments, the mounting portion is held in a form-fitting manner between the housing and a spray cartridge inserted into the housing. In these embodiments, the mounting portion is preferably mounted at the upper end region of the housing.

[0024] In some other embodiments, the mounting portion is permanently mounted to the housing. For example, the mounting portion is cast or molded onto the housing.

[0025] In some preferred embodiments, an end region of the holding section associated with the second end region of the end regions of the housing is oriented obliquely to the housing to form an insertion guide for the belt element and extends away from the housing. This facilitates the insertion of the belt element between the holding section and the intermediate section or the sliding of the spray device onto the belt element. The angle between the end region of the holding section and an adjacent wall section of the housing is preferably between 10° and 80°, particularly preferably between 20° and 50°. This provides a particularly effective insertion guide.

[0026] In some preferred embodiments, the holding section has a bulge directed away from the housing, which forms a receptacle for the belt element. This allows for particularly secure attachment of the spray device to the belt element. For example, the belt element arranged in the bulge can be held in the bulge by a releasable snap connection. A part of the holding section that closes off the bulge in the direction of the second end region of the end regions can be in contact with the intermediate section or with the housing. In particular, the part is prestressed against the intermediate section or against the housing.

[0027] In some preferred embodiments, the holding section has an elongated clamping area that is pre-tensioned against the intermediate section or against the housing. Such a design of the holding section also allows for secure attachment of the sprayer to the belt element. The holding section then exerts a tensioning force on the inserted belt element.

[0028] In some preferred embodiments, it is provided that the belt element can be inserted between the intermediate section and the housing by being displaced in a further insertion direction facing the second end region of the end regions in order to fasten the spray device to the belt element. The belt element can be oriented perpendicular to the further insertion direction during insertion. If the belt element is inserted between the intermediate section and the housing, the intermediate section and the housing are arranged on a respective opposite side of the belt element, which is in particular oriented perpendicular to the further insertion direction. This design of the belt holder allows the functional range of the belt holder to be expanded because the spray device can be fastened to the belt element in two fastening positions that are rotated by 180° to one another.The inserted belt element can then be extended by moving it in a direction opposite to the previous insertion direction, thereby removing the sprayer from the belt element. Of course, the sprayer can also be attached or removed by moving the sprayer itself. Simultaneous movement of the belt element and sprayer is also conceivable.

[0029] In some preferred embodiments, it is provided that an end region of the intermediate section associated with the first end region of the end regions of the housing and an end region of the holding section associated with the first end region of the end regions of the housing are oriented obliquely to the housing and extend away from the housing to form an insertion guide for the belt element. With regard to the arrangement of the belt element between the intermediate section and the housing, this facilitates the insertion of the belt element or the sliding of the spray device onto the belt element.

[0030] In some preferred embodiments, the intermediate section has a bulge directed away from the housing, which forms a receptacle for the belt element between the intermediate section and the housing. This allows for particularly secure attachment of the spray device to the belt element. For example, the belt element arranged in the bulge can be held in the bulge by a releasable snap connection. A part of the intermediate section that closes off the bulge in the direction of the first end region of the end regions can be in contact with the housing. In particular, the part is prestressed against the housing.

[0031] In some embodiments, the belt holder is made of a metal material. This allows for a particularly robust mechanical belt holder. The belt holder is particularly preferably made of stainless steel.

[0032] In some other embodiments, the belt holder is made of a plastic.

[0033] In some preferred embodiments, the belt holder comprises a bent metal rod, in particular a stainless steel rod. A metal rod has the advantage that a belt holder with a complex profile is nevertheless easy to manufacture by bending the metal rod. Preferably, the metal rod has a circular cross-sectional shape. However, other cross-sectional shapes are also possible. For example, the metal rod can have a rectangular cross-sectional shape. Preferably, the metal rod is solid. However, the metal rod can also be tubular.

[0034] In some other embodiments, the belt holder is formed by a bent metal sheet.

[0035] The metal rod has two longitudinal ends relative to its longitudinal extension. In some preferred embodiments, the longitudinal ends of the metal rod are mounted on the housing. The longitudinal ends of the metal rod therefore together form the mounting section of the belt holder. A common plastic part can be cast or injection-molded onto the longitudinal ends of the metal rod. To form the intermediate section and the holding section, the metal rod is bent in a meandering shape. The intermediate section and the holding section of the belt holder are therefore formed by a meandering-shaped central section of the metal rod, i.e. a part of the metal rod arranged between the longitudinal ends relative to the longitudinal extension of the metal rod. It should be noted that with such a design of the belt holder, the longitudinal extension of the belt holder differs from the longitudinal extension of the metal rod.In the belt holder, the longitudinal ends are formed by the mounting section and the holding section. The longitudinal path thus runs from the mounting section through the intermediate section to the holding section. However, the mounting section is formed jointly by both longitudinal ends of the metal rod.

[0036] The holding section, i.e. the second longitudinal end of the belt holder, is formed by a central part of the metal rod, in particular by the center of the metal rod.

[0037] In some preferred embodiments, the holding section is formed by two first rod sections of the metal rod, each extending from the intermediate section toward the second end region of the end regions of the housing. Preferably, the first rod sections run parallel to one another at least in sections. The first rod sections can form the aforementioned clamping region of the holding section by being in contact with the housing and prestressed against the housing at least in sections along their longitudinal extent.

[0038] In some preferred embodiments, an anti-spreading device manufactured independently of the metal rod is arranged on the first rod sections, which prevents the first rod sections from spreading apart relative to one another. Spreading of the first rod sections refers to a deformation of the metal rod, during which a distance between the first rod sections is increased. When attaching and removing the spray device, forces can act on the belt holder which promote a spreading of the first rod sections. The anti-spreading device can absorb such forces and consequently secure the first rod sections against spreading. Preferably, the anti-spreading device is arranged on the end region of the intermediate section assigned to the first end region of the end regions of the housing, i.e. on corresponding regions of the first rod sections. In this way, a spreading of the first rod sections can be particularly effectively prevented.

[0039] In some preferred embodiments, the anti-spreading device is formed by a securing eyelet with a through-opening, with both first rod sections extending through the through-opening. Such an anti-spreading device is, firstly, particularly mechanically robust. Furthermore, it offers the advantage that the anti-spreading device can be easily attached by sliding the securing eyelet over it, possibly with slight deformation of the first rod sections. Various designs are possible with regard to the shape of the securing eyelet. The securing eyelet is preferably oval-shaped.

[0040] In some embodiments, the securing eyelet is formed by a further bent metal rod, in particular a further stainless steel rod. The further metal rod is thus bent in such a way that it forms the securing eyelet with the through-hole. Such a securing eyelet is simple to manufacture and mechanically robust.

[0041] In some preferred embodiments, it is provided that the intermediate portion is formed by two second rod portions of the metal rod, each extending from the mounting portion in the direction of the first end portion of the end portions of the housing.

[0042] In some preferred embodiments, the first rod sections are arranged between the second rod sections in the circumferential direction of the housing. This design of the belt holder is preferred because the various sections of the belt holder can be easily implemented using the metal rod, without any overlapping of individual sections occurring along the length of the metal rod.

[0043] According to the invention, a spray device system with the features of claim 17 is also provided.

[0044] The sprayer system comprises a portable sprayer configured as described above. Furthermore, the sprayer system comprises a belt element that can be inserted between the holding section and the intermediate section by being displaced in an insertion direction facing the first end region of the end regions of the sprayer housing, in order to secure the sprayer to the belt element.

[0045] Advantages and further training options of the sprayer are to be understood as being described in relation to the sprayer system.

[0046] The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 shows a portable spray device according to a first embodiment; Figure 2 shows a further view of the Figure 1 shown sprayer; Figure 3 one of the Figure 1 corresponding view, wherein the spray device is attached to a belt element; Figure 4 shows a portable spray device according to a second embodiment; and Figure 5 shows a further view of the Figure 3 sprayer shown.

[0047] In the Figures 1 to 3 a portable spray device 10 according to a first embodiment is shown.

[0048] The spray device 10 comprises a housing 12, which is elongated in this case. The housing 12 comprises two end regions 14 and 16, namely a lower end region 14 and an upper end region 16, relative to its longitudinal extent.

[0049] The lower end region 14 comprises a base 18. The upper end region 16 comprises a spray opening 20 for spraying a spray substance. The spray substance can be provided, for example, by a spray substance cartridge arranged in the housing 12 (not shown in the figures). In this case, the spray opening 20 is a radial opening relative to a longitudinal center axis of the housing 12 and is thus formed in a side wall of the housing 12. Consequently, the spray substance can be sprayed through the spray opening 20 in a radial direction relative to the longitudinal center axis of the housing 12.

[0050] The upper end region 16 also includes an insertion opening 22. The spray cartridge can be inserted into the housing 12 or removed from the housing 12 through the insertion opening 22. In this case, the insertion opening 22 is an axial opening relative to the longitudinal center axis of the housing 12. Associated with the insertion opening 22 is a cover 24 that is pivotally mounted on the housing 12. According to a further embodiment, the insertion opening can also be formed in the lower end region 14.

[0051] In the present embodiment, the housing 12 is constructed in several parts. The housing 12 comprises a main body 26 and a base plate 28, which is releasably attached to the main body 26, for example, by one or more fastening elements. The main body is cylindrical in this case. The base plate 28 forms the base 18 of the housing 12.

[0052] The spray device 10 also comprises a belt holder 30 which is designed to attach the spray device 10 to a belt element, for example a belt.

[0053] The belt holder 30 is mounted by a mounting section 32 on the lower end region 14 of the housing 12. In the present case, the belt holder 30 is detachably mounted on the housing 12 by a positive connection acting between the mounting section 32 and the housing 12. For this purpose, the mounting section 32 protrudes between the base plate 28 and the main body 26 into the interior of the housing 12 and is bent over in a hook-like manner. The mounting section 32 forms, with respect to the longitudinal extension of the belt holder 30, a first longitudinal end of the belt holder 30.

[0054] The belt holder 30 also includes an intermediate section 34, which adjoins the mounting section 32. The intermediate section 34 extends from the mounting section 32 toward the upper end region 16, i.e., away from the lower end region 14. The extension of the intermediate section 34 refers to the general extension of the intermediate section 34. It is not excluded that individual regions of the intermediate section 34 extend obliquely to the upper end region 16.

[0055] The belt holder 30 also comprises a holding section 36, which adjoins the intermediate section 34. The holding section extends from the intermediate section 34 toward the lower end region 14, i.e., away from the upper end region 16. The extension of the holding section 36 refers to the general extension of the holding section 36. It is not excluded that individual regions of the holding section 36 extend obliquely to the lower end region 14. An end of the holding section 36 associated with the lower end region 14 of the housing 12 forms, with respect to the longitudinal extension of the belt holder 30, the second longitudinal end of the belt holder 30.

[0056] In the present embodiment, the belt holder 30 is formed by a bent metal rod 38.

[0057] The longitudinal ends 40 of the metal rod 38 protrude into the housing 12 and form the mounting section 32 of the belt holder 30. A central portion 42 of the metal rod 38, arranged between the longitudinal ends 40 with respect to the longitudinal extension of the metal rod 38, is bent in a meandering shape to form the intermediate portion 34 and the holding portion 36. The longitudinal ends 40 of the metal rod 38 thus jointly form the first longitudinal end of the belt holder 30. The second longitudinal end of the belt holder 30 is formed by the central portion 42 of the metal rod 38. The longitudinal extension of the belt holder 30 therefore does not coincide with the longitudinal extension of the metal rod 38.

[0058] The holding section 36 is formed by two first rod sections 44 of the metal rod 38, each extending from the intermediate section 34 toward the lower end region 14 of the housing 12. The intermediate section 34 is formed by two second rod sections 48 of the metal rod 38, each extending from the mounting section 32 toward the upper end region 16 of the housing 12. In the present exemplary embodiment, the first rod sections 44 are arranged between the second rod sections 48 in the circumferential direction of the housing 12. The second rod sections 48 thus frame the first rod sections 44.

[0059] In view of the above-explained design of the belt holder 30, the spray device 10 can be fastened to a belt element 52 by displacing the belt element 52 in an insertion direction 54 facing the upper end region 16 of the housing 12 and inserting it between the holding section 36 and the intermediate section 34. A correspondingly inserted belt element 52 is shown in Figure 3shown. The holding section 36 and the intermediate section 34 are then arranged on a respective opposite side of the inserted belt element 52, wherein the belt element 52 extends perpendicular to the insertion direction 54 and the longitudinal center axis of the housing 12. In order to remove the spray device 10 from the inserted belt element 52, the belt element 52 can be displaced in an extension direction opposite the insertion direction 54. Of course, the attachment and removal of the spray device 10 can also be achieved by moving the spray device 10. A movement of both the belt element 52 and the spray device 10 is also possible.

[0060] To facilitate the insertion of the belt element 52 between the holding section 36 and the intermediate section 34, an end region 56 of the holding section 36 associated with the lower end region 14 of the housing 12 is oriented obliquely to the housing 12 and extends away from the housing 12. The end region 56 of the holding section 36 thus forms an insertion guide for the belt element 52. In the present case, the angle between the end region 56 of the holding section 36 and an adjacent housing wall of the housing 12 is approximately 40°, as can be seen from Figure 2 recognizable.

[0061] Adjoining the end region 56 of the holding section 36 is a clamping region 58 of the holding section 36. When the belt element 52 is inserted, the clamping region 58 exerts a tensioning force on the belt element 52. If no belt element 52 is inserted between the holding section 36 and the intermediate section 34, the clamping region 58 rests against the housing 12, as can be seen from Figure 2 recognizable.

[0062] In the present exemplary embodiment, the spray device 10 can also be fastened to the belt element 52 by displacing the belt element 52 in a further insertion direction 60 facing the lower end region 14 of the housing 12 and inserting it between the intermediate section 34 and the housing 12. The intermediate section 34 and the housing 12 are then arranged on a respective opposite side of the inserted belt element 52, with the belt element 52 extending perpendicular to the further insertion direction 60 and the longitudinal center axis of the housing 12. In order to remove the spray device 10 from the belt element 52 inserted in this way, the belt element 52 can be displaced in a further extension direction opposite the further insertion direction 60. Of course, the attachment and removal of the spray device 10 can also be achieved by moving the spray device 10.A movement of both the belt element 52 and the spray device 10 is also possible.

[0063] To facilitate the insertion of the belt element 52 between the intermediate section 34 and the housing 12, an end region 62 of the holding section 36 associated with the upper end region 16 of the housing 12 and an end region 64 of the intermediate section 34 associated with the upper end region 16 of the housing 12 are aligned obliquely to the housing 12 and extend away from the housing 12. The end regions 62 and 64 thus form an insertion guide for the belt element 52. In the present case, the angle between the end regions 62 and 64 and an adjacent housing wall of the housing 12 is approximately 40°, as can be seen from Figure 2 recognizable.

[0064] In the present exemplary embodiment, an end region 66 of the intermediate section 34 associated with the mounting section 32 has a bulge 68 directed away from the housing 12. The belt element 52 can be pushed into the bulge 68 by displacement in the further insertion direction 60, so that the bulge 68 forms a receptacle for the belt element 52 between the intermediate section 34 and the housing 12. The belt element 52 pushed into the bulge 68 is then held in the bulge 68 by a releasable snap connection.

[0065] In the following, with reference to the Figures 4 and 5 a second embodiment of the spray device 10 is explained. Essentially, only the differences to the one shown in the Figures 1 to 3 shown sprayer 10.

[0066] In the Figures 4 and 5In the spray device 10 shown, the spray device 10 is secured to the belt element 52 only by inserting the belt element 52 between the holding section 36 and the intermediate section 34, but not by inserting the belt element 52 between the intermediate section 34 and the housing 12. This is evident, for example, in the fact that the intermediate section 34 is free of the previously described bulge 68. Furthermore, the end regions 62 and 64 do not extend obliquely to the housing 12, but rather along the housing 12.

[0067] In the Figures 4 and 5In the spray device 10 shown, the holding section 36 has a recess 70 directed away from the housing 12. The belt element 52 can be pushed into the recess 70 by displacement in the insertion direction 54, so that the recess 70 forms a receptacle for the belt element 52. The belt element 52 pushed into the recess 70 is then held in the recess 70 by a releasable snap connection.

[0068] In the Figures 4 and 5 The spray device 10 shown also features an anti-spread device 72. The anti-spread device 72 is arranged on the first rod sections 44 and counteracts the spreading of the first rod sections 44 relative to one another. The anti-spread device 72 thus increases the mechanical robustness of the belt holder 30.

[0069] In the present embodiment, the anti-spread device 72 is formed by a securing eyelet 74. The securing eyelet 74 has a through-opening through which both first rod sections 44 extend. In the present case, the securing eyelet 74 is formed by a bent additional metal rod 78. Alternatively, the securing eyelet 74 can be made of plastic, for example.

[0070] In the embodiments shown in the figures, the mounting section 32 is mounted on the lower end region 14 of the housing 12. In some other embodiments, the mounting section 32 is mounted on the upper end region 16 of the housing 12. The intermediate section 34 then extends from the mounting section 32 toward the lower end region 14, and the holding section 36 extends from the intermediate section 34 toward the upper end region 16. The belt element 52 can then be inserted between the holding section 36 and the intermediate section 34 by being displaced in an insertion direction facing the lower end region 14.
