[0001] Wall dispenser and wall bracket for a wall dispenser

[0002] Description

[0003] The invention relates to a wall-mounted dispenser for providing and dispensing a liquid, in particular a detergent or a personal care product, as well as a wall mount for such a wall-mounted dispenser according to the preamble of claim 1.

[0004] A wall-mounted dispenser of this type includes a wall bracket and a replaceable container for the liquid, which can have either a low or very high viscosity. The wall bracket is used to attach the container to a structural fixture, usually a building wall, for example, in a hotel bathroom or public restroom. However, the structural fixture to which the wall-mounted dispenser is attached can also be a piece of furniture or a special bracket or frame.

[0005] The liquid container can be attached to and removed from the wall mount for refilling or replacement. It has a base section with a container bottom and, opposite this, a top section with a dispensing opening. The dispensing opening serves to dispense measured amounts of liquid from the container.

[0006] The wall mount has a support structure that is provided on a front side with at least two spaced-apart attachment points for the container containing the liquid, and on a back side with fixing elements for attaching the support structure to the structural fixture. Wall-mounted dispensers with a replaceable container for storing and dispensing a liquid, as well as a dispensing device for dispensing liquid from the container, are used, for example, in publicly accessible restrooms or similar areas in restaurants to provide liquid soap. However, such dispensers are particularly preferred for use in hotels to provide liquid soap, hair shampoo, and other care products such as lotions or similar at sinks, in the bathtub area, or in a shower cubicle.Wall-mounted dispensers of this type are characterized by the fact that the liquid products contained therein can be dosed and dispensed in a hygienic manner, while at the same time a certain volume of liquid products can be retained in order to extend the service life until the dispenser is refilled or the container needs to be replaced to longer time intervals, typically several days.

[0007] For these applications, wall-mounted dispensers are often designed so that the container is inserted upside down into the wall mount, meaning the dispensing opening faces downward. This allows the liquid to be dispensed using gravity; a user holds their hand under the dispensing device, from which the liquid falls downward. This requires that the dispensing device be equipped with a valve that directly or indirectly closes the top of the container and is only opened by the user to dispense the liquid.

[0008] The valve can be opened by means of an actuating mechanism, for example via an actuating lever. However, since liquids with a relatively high viscosity are usually provided in a wall-mounted dispenser of this type, gravity is often insufficient to dispense the liquid within an acceptable time when a dispensing valve is opened. It is therefore known to provide the dispensing device with a dispensing valve that opens when pressure is applied to the container, wherein the container is designed to be flexible at least in some areas for this purpose. In this case, it is provided that the user exerts pressure indirectly on the container, as described, for example, in DE 296 01 918 U1, or acts directly on the container, as is known, for example, from DE 10 2009 024 769 B3 or EP 2 582 277 B1.

[0009] However, dispensing the liquid dose downward from such a wall-mounted dispenser is not always desirable. Therefore, for the aforementioned applications, there are also wall-mounted dispensers on the market in which the container is held so that its base faces downward and its dispensing opening faces upward. The dispensing device for metered liquid dispensing is a dosing pump inserted into the top of the container. Such a dosing pump typically includes a dispensing spout that is pressed from above to activate the dosing pump.

[0010] With such an "upright" arrangement of the container, in contrast to a container mounted "upside down", the actuating element is also the dispensing opening for the liquid, which is easier to understand intuitively for some users: the component of the wall dispenser in which the dispensing opening for the liquid is located must be grasped and pressed by the user in order to dispense the liquid.

[0011] These advantages of an upright arrangement of the container in the wall-mounted dispenser are offset by the advantages of a wall-mounted dispenser with an upside-down container; in the latter case, gravity ensures that the dispensed liquid always falls downwards and no longer comes into contact with the wall-mounted dispenser, which could contaminate it.

[0012] Starting from the state of the art described at the outset with the container held upside down in the wall bracket, as is the case in particular in EP 2 582 277 B1, there is therefore, depending on the local conditions, a need to mount a wall dosing dispenser "upside down" so that the container, which is then expediently provided with a dosing pump, is held in the wall bracket in such a way that its base area is at the bottom and its head area is at the top.

[0013] Optimally, a wall mount of this type can be mounted both upright, with a container whose upwardly oriented head area is provided with a dosing pump, and upside down, with a container from whose downwardly oriented head area liquid is withdrawn by means of a withdrawal valve and gravity.

[0014] The present invention is therefore based on the object of proposing a wall bracket and a wall dosing dispenser with such a wall bracket, which can be attached to a structural device in both of the above-mentioned orientations, i.e. upright or upside down, wherein either containers with a dispensing valve or containers with a dosing pump can be used.

[0015] This object is achieved by a wall mount having the features of claim 1 and by a wall dispenser having the features of claim 14.

[0016] Preferred embodiments and further developments of the wall bracket according to the invention can be found in claims 2 to 13, while a preferred embodiment of the wall dosing dispenser according to the invention is set out in claim 15.

[0017] A wall mount according to the invention therefore not only comprises, as mentioned at the beginning, a support structure which is provided on a front side with at least two spaced-apart fastening points for a container with the liquid, or for each of several containers, and on a rear side with fixing elements for attaching the wall mount to a structural device, wherein the at least two spaced-apart fastening points for each container comprise a first fastening point with a holding element for a base region of the container, into which the container can be inserted or to which the container base can be attached in order to hold the base region of the container in a form-fitting or force-fitting manner at the first fastening point, as well as a second fastening point which has a sleeve for holding a head region of the container, wherein the holding element is fixedly attached to the support structure at the first fastening point,while the sleeve is separable from the support structure or movable relative to it and fixable to the support structure, or conversely, the sleeve is fixedly attached to the support structure, while the holding element for the base area of ​​the container is separable from the support structure or movable relative to it and fixable to the support structure.

[0018] Rather, the wall bracket according to the invention is also characterized in that the fixing elements for attaching the wall bracket to a structural device comprise two separable fixing parts, of which a fixed fixing part is provided for fixed attachment to the structural device, and a fixing part which is movable relative to the fixed fixing part is fixedly attached to the supporting structure of the wall bracket or is integrally connected thereto, wherein the fixed and the movable fixing part can be connected to one another by means of a locking mechanism with which the two fixing parts engage behind one another, selectively in a first position in which the fixed holding element of the wall bracket comes to lie in the downwardly oriented region of the supporting structure, or in a second position in which the fixed holding element of the wall bracket comes to lie in the upwardly oriented region of the supporting structure.

[0019] The separation according to the invention of the fixing elements for attaching the wall bracket to a structural device into a fixed and a movable fixing part, and the locking mechanism with which the two fixing parts can be joined together, engaging behind one another, thus makes it possible to fix the wall bracket, and thus the container held therein, to the structural device in at least two positions, of which a first position is the upright position described above and the second position is the upside-down position described above.

[0020] With one and the same wall mount, you can use containers with a downward-facing head, from which the liquid is drawn downwards via a dosing valve, or alternatively, containers with a dosing pump, from which the liquid is drawn from the upward-facing head. To do this, simply separate the two fixing parts, rotate the wall mount 180°, and reattach the locking mechanism for the two fixing parts.

[0021] It is obvious that this will reduce the production costs for wall-mounted dispensers, as it allows wall-mounted dispensers with a liquid dispensing point at the bottom and wall-mounted dispensers with a liquid dispensing point at the top of the container to be equipped with the same wall bracket.

[0022] Furthermore, the invention allows the customer to implement two different types of wall-mounted dispensers, with either downward or upward dispensing, using the same wall mount. In particular, depending on the situation or based on user experience, the customer can change the type of wall-mounted dispenser by simply rotating the wall mount, without having to reinstall the wall mount on the structural fixture.

[0023] The locking mechanism according to the invention is preferably designed such that the two fixing parts engage one another in a form-fitting manner, specifically in a direction perpendicular to a surface of the structural device to which the wall bracket is attached or to which the fixed fixing part is mounted. According to a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, this is achieved in that the locking mechanism functions in the manner of a bayonet lock. With this design, corresponding surfaces on the two fixing parts can be brought into overlap by a rotational movement such that they engage one another in a form-fitting manner, preferably until the rotational movement engages or is stopped by a stop.

[0024] The locking mechanism is preferably further developed for bayonet-type operation such that the fixed fixing part is provided with a cylindrical guide element whose cylinder axis, when installed, is substantially perpendicular to a surface plane of the structural device, and the movable fixing part is equipped with one or more guide parts adapted to the cylindrical guide element. Optionally, the fixing parts can also be configured conversely, such that the movable fixing part has the cylindrical guide element, while the fixed fixing part has the guide parts adapted to it. The guide parts can also be a cylindrical element.

[0025] If such a cylindrical guide element is present, the wall mount's supporting structure is guided around the cylindrical axis of the guide element when rotating from the first to the second position (or vice versa) by means of the guide parts and the cylindrical guide element. Furthermore, the cylindrical guide element also allows for easy centering of the two fixing parts when assembling them during the initial installation of the wall mount. If the wall mount is subsequently rotated 180°, the fixing parts do not need to be re-centered, as the rotational movement around the cylindrical axis of the guide element is guided by the guide element and the guide parts.

[0026] The aforementioned cylindrical guide element is expediently designed as part of the bayonet-type locking mechanism. For this purpose, the fixed fixing part of the wall mount according to the invention preferably consists essentially of a plate provided with at least two undercut edges relative to the cylinder axis of the guide element. These edges are located opposite each other, essentially point-symmetrically to the intersection point of the cylinder axis with the surface plane of the structural fixture, and can be engaged behind by bayonet locking surfaces on the movable fixing part. The bayonet locking surfaces can also be formed by one or more hooks each.

[0027] The aforementioned plate, preferably used as a fixed fixing part, is preferably provided with a flat fixing surface on a side facing the structural fixture, which allows the plate to be attached to the structural fixture using a double-sided adhesive fixing pad. In particular, for attaching a wall dispenser to a tiled surface, as is common in hotel bathrooms, fastening using a double-sided adhesive fixing pad can be very advantageous. Nevertheless, the present invention allows the wall mount to be easily reversed if it turns out that the other of the two aforementioned wall dispenser types is more suitable, without having to remove the adhesive.

[0028] Of course, it is also possible to attach the plate used as a fixed fixing part to the structural equipment in the conventional way using screws, not only as an alternative but also in addition to the fixing poster if necessary.

[0029] According to a preferred embodiment of the wall mount according to the invention, locking elements, in particular hooks, are provided on the fixed fixing part and / or on the movable fixing part, which lock the two fixing parts together or lock them together, optionally in the first position or in the second position. For theft protection, but also for advantageous stability of the wall mount, it may alternatively or additionally be expedient to provide a securing element, in particular at least one locking screw, to secure the two fixing parts of the wall mount according to the invention in their relative position to one another. If the fixing elements can be connected to one another in the manner of a bayonet lock, one or more locking screws can in particular prevent the wall mount from being inadvertently rotated during use, which could cause the fixing parts to lose their grip.

[0030] It is preferred if the securing element is accessible through at least one lockable window in the support structure of the wall mount and can be released in this way. This window is expediently closed with an insert that can be snapped into the window. This insert can be provided with an inscription, in particular a mark. It is preferred if the insert can be snapped into the window at an angle of 180 degrees, so that the mark is not upside down after the wall mount is rotated.

[0031] According to a further, particularly preferred embodiment of the wall mount according to the invention, its support structure is equipped with at least two attachment points for two or three containers, respectively, to form a double or triple wall dispenser. Thus, a single wall mount can hold a set of cleaning and care products for immediate use, for example, a liquid soap product and a care product, optionally supplemented by a disinfectant.

[0032] If the support structure of the wall mount according to the invention is intended for at least two containers, it is expedient for the support structure to be convex, in particular cylindrically curved, on its front side. This enables the containers or their guide rails, which can each be positioned perpendicularly to the curved front side of the support structure, to form an angle of > 0° between them and to dispense the various liquid products at this angle, particularly if the support structure has a guide rail for the respective container between each two fastening points.

[0033] It may be advantageous, for example, to equip a double-wall dispenser and a triple-wall dispenser with identically designed movable fixing parts, which can then be attached to one and the same fixed fixing part using the locking mechanism according to the invention. For example, it is possible to provide an additional bottle of disinfectant for a limited period of time using a triple-wall dispenser, specifically at a location where a double-wall dispenser is otherwise installed. This can be accomplished essentially without tools and without major assembly work, and in particular without damaging the structural equipment, by properly operating the preferably bayonet-type locking mechanism.

[0034] With reference to the accompanying drawings, exemplary embodiments of a wall-mounted dispenser and a wall mount according to the invention are described and explained below, revealing further aspects that characterize the invention as preferred embodiments. However, the exemplary embodiments shown and described do not limit the invention per se.

[0035] They show:

[0037] Figure 2 shows the wall bracket from Figure 1, in a perspective view from the rear, with incomplete fixing elements; Figure 3 shows a plate as a fixed fixing part of the wall bracket from Figures 1 and 2, from the front;

[0038] Figure 4 shows the plate from Figure 3, seen from the back;

[0039] Figure 5 shows a fixing pad for the plate from Figures 3 and 4;

[0040] Figure 6 shows an insert part for the wall bracket according to Figure 1;

[0041] Figure 7 shows a second embodiment of a wall bracket designed according to the invention, in a perspective view like Figure 2;

[0042] Figure 8 shows a wall dispenser with a third embodiment of a wall bracket designed according to the invention;

[0043] Figure 9 shows another embodiment of a wall-mounted dispenser with the wall bracket from Figure 8.

[0044] Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a first embodiment of a wall bracket designed according to the invention for fastening two containers (not shown here) which are inserted upside down into the wall bracket (see Figure 8).

[0045] The wall bracket shown here has a support structure 1 which has two spaced-apart fastening points for each of the two containers (not shown here), namely a first fastening point 2, 2' which essentially consists of a fastening hook which is fixed in place on the support structure 1 and serves as a holding element 3 and which, as described below with reference to Figure 8, engages positively in a container base, and a second fastening point 4 which in the present case consists of a guide frame 5 and a locking surface 6 for the detachable attachment of a sleeve (not shown here, see Figure 8) for the head region of the container.A guide rail 7, which extends from the first fastening point 2 to the second fastening point 4 and is perpendicular to a curved front side 8 of the support structure 1, serves for additional securing of the container, which for this purpose is provided with a recess into which the guide rail 7 engages (see Figure 8).

[0046] In the cylindrically curved front side 8 of the supporting structure 1 there is a window 9, and in this window 9 an opening 10 can be seen through which a safety device, which will be explained later, is accessible.

[0047] The wall bracket shown in Figure 1 is made of plastic, and the holding elements 3 (fastening hooks), the guide rails 7 and the second fastening point 4 are integrally formed on the supporting structure 1.

[0048] Figure 2 shows the rear side of the wall mount from Figure 1, again in a perspective view. Here, it is particularly clearly visible that the plastic support structure 1 is cylindrically curved, but its rear side is adapted to a flat surface to which the wall mount is to be attached. A number of stabilizing ribs 11, as is known per se, increase the stability of the support structure 1 with minimal use of material.

[0049] Figure 3 shows, again in a perspective view, a fixed fixing part 12 for attaching the wall mount to a wall. This fixed fixing part 12 is made of a plastic plate 13, which is also provided with stabilizing ribs 11. Two recesses 14 serve to fasten the plate 13 to a wall with screws (not shown).

[0050] The plate 13 from Figure 3 is a fixed fixing part 12 and is a component of the wall mount; accordingly, the wall mount is not shown in full in Figure 2. As can be seen from a comparison of Figures 2 and 3, the entire rear side of the support structure 1 forms the movable fixing part 15, which can be attached to the fixed fixing part 12, i.e., to the plate 13, which is attached to a wall or the like. The locking mechanism provided for this purpose (Figures 2 and 3) comprises a cylindrical guide element 16, which engages in a guide part 17 in the plate 13 that is adapted to this, in order to guide the support structure 1 during a rotational movement about a cylinder axis 18 of the cylindrical guide element 16.The locking mechanism further comprises in the plate 13 a number of locking elements 19 designed as hooks, which engage in corresponding recesses 20 in the stabilizing ribs 11 when the support structure 1 is attached to the plate 13 in a first, upright position or in the second position "overhead" shown in Figure 2.

[0051] Since the locking mechanism functions in the manner of a bayonet catch, the support structure 1 is fastened to the plate 13 with a rotary movement about the cylinder axis 18. For this purpose, four undercut edges 21 are located on the plate 13, i.e. the fixed fixing part 12 (Figure 3), which are arranged opposite one another in pairs with point symmetrical relationship to the cylinder axis 18. On the support structure 1, the rear of which forms the movable fixing part 15 (Figure 2), four bayonet catch surfaces 22 are formed, also arranged in pairs with point symmetrical relationship to the cylinder axis 18, which engage behind the undercut edges 21 in the manner of a bayonet catch after the support structure 1 has been placed on the plate 13 and a rotary movement guided by means of the cylindrical guide element 16 and the guide part 17.The rotational movement is stopped by the engagement of the locking elements 19 in the recesses 20, whereby the connection between the fixed 12 and the movable fixing part 15 is additionally secured.

[0052] The rear side of the support structure 1 (Figure 2) has a frame 23 which, for aesthetic and quality reasons, rests all around on the structural equipment (not shown) so that the plate 13 (Figure 3) is completely received by the support structure 1. Therefore, the plate 13 is chamfered at its corners so that the support structure 1, slightly rotated about the cylinder axis 18, can be placed onto the plate 13 and then rotated into the first or second position so that the bayonet locking surfaces 22 engage behind the undercut edges 21 and the locking elements 19 engage in the recesses 20.

[0053] A brief reverse rotation releases the connection between the two fixing parts 12, 15 or between the plate 13 and the support structure 1. The support structure 1 can be rotated 180° and reattached to the plate 13 and locked to it with a bayonet-like lock. This ensures that the support structure 1 can be moved from its first to its second position and back at any time to form an upright wall-mounted dispenser with a dosing pump or an overhead dispenser with downward liquid dispensing.

[0054] In order to secure the support structure 1 (Figure 2) and the plate 13 (Figure 3) to each other in such a way that the support structure 1 cannot be released by a mere rotational movement, a locking screw is inserted through the opening 10 in the window 9 and screwed into a locking thread 24 in the plate 13. This increases the stability of the wall mount and, in particular, prevents the support structure 1 from being accidentally rotated by a user and thus released from the plate 13.

[0055] Figure 4 shows the plate 13 from a rear side, which is intended to be attached to a wall or other structural fixture and for this purpose forms a flat fixing surface 34. In this illustration, two of the four undercut edges 21 for the bayonet-like locking mechanism are visible.

[0056] Figure 5 shows a perspective view of a double-sided fixing pad 25 that can be used optionally within the scope of the present invention. This pad can be fixed on the one hand to the structural feature, for example a tiled wall, and on the other hand to the rear, i.e., the flat fixing surface 34 of the plate 13 (Figure 4), in order to attach the plate 13 to the structural feature as a fixed fixing part 12 for the supporting structure 1. Figure 6 shows an insert part for the window 9 (Figure 1) in the supporting structure. This is a clip-in plastic part that covers the opening 10 together with any locking screw that may be present (not shown here).

[0057] The insert part 26 bears a mark, as shown in Figure 6. To ensure that this mark remains legible to the user even after the support structure 1 is rotated from the first to the second position, i.e., by 180 degrees, and is not upside down, the insert part 26 and the window 9 are constructed axially symmetrically about a horizontal axis; thus, the insert part 26 can be inserted into the window 9 in two positions rotated by 180 degrees.

[0058] Figure 7 shows, in a representation similar to Figure 2, the non-removable parts of the support structure 1 of another exemplary embodiment of a wall mount designed according to the invention. This second exemplary embodiment differs from the first exemplary embodiment primarily in that now, instead of two containers, three containers can be attached to one and the same wall mount. For this purpose, as is most easily recognizable, the support structure 1 has three holding elements 3, 3', 3" designed as fastening hooks.

[0059] As can be seen from Figure 7, the same elements of the locking mechanism as in the first exemplary embodiment are formed on the rear side of the support structure 1, which forms the movable fixing part 15 in its central region, namely the cylindrical guide element 16, the recesses 20 and the four bayonet locking surfaces 22, so that the triple support structure 1 shown here can be attached to the same plate 13 as shown in Figure 3. It is therefore also possible to attach either the support structure 1 from Figure 2 or the support structure 1 from Figure 7 to the same plate 13, which does not have to be separated from the structural equipment for this purpose. For example, it is possible to provide an additional bottle of disinfectant for a limited period of time using a triple wall-mounted dosing dispenser, specifically in a location where a double wall-mounted dosing dispenser is otherwise installed.This can be done essentially without tools and without major assembly work and, in particular, without damaging the structural equipment by properly operating the bayonet-type locking mechanism.

[0060] Figures 8 and 9 show two exemplary embodiments of a wall-mounted dispenser designed according to the invention, wherein both wall-mounted dispensers are equipped with one and the same wall mount with support structure 1, first fastening point 2, which is designed as a fastening hook, second fastening point 4, and guide rail 7 (not visible in Figure 9). The movable and fixed fixing parts 12, 15 according to the invention are not visible in these illustrations.

[0061] Figure 8 shows a wall-mounted dispenser with an interchangeable container 27 that is held upside down in the wall bracket, while Figure 9 illustrates a wall-mounted dispenser whose container 27 sits upright in the wall bracket and dispenses liquid into a head region 29 of the container 27 via a dispensing spout 30 by means of a dosing pump 28. A base region 31 of the container 27 is located at the bottom in Figure 9; it has a shaped recess 32 into which the holding element 3, designed as a fastening hook, positively engages in order to hold the container 27 securely against rotation.

[0062] Even in the upside-down version of a wall-mounted dispenser according to Figure 8, the container 27 used there is provided with the same shaped recess 32 in its base area 31, so that there too the holding element 3 designed as a fastening hook can be inserted into the shaped recess 32 in a form-fitting manner.

[0063] In both embodiments of Figures 8 and 9, a sleeve 33 can be attached to the second fastening point 4, which holds the container 27 in its head region 29. In both cases, this sleeve 33 can be detached from the second fastening point 4 in order to remove the container from its positive connection to the fastening hook and the guide rail 7 and to refill or replace it.

[0064] While the sleeve 33 in Figure 8 contains a dosing valve in order to be able to withdraw liquid downwards in a metered manner from the container 27 screwed into this dosing valve (not visible), the sleeve 33 in Figure 9 forms a seat for the visible actuating element of the dosing pump 28 and guides this actuating element during the pumping movement.

[0065] Figure 8 accordingly shows the wall mount in its second position according to the invention for forming an overhead wall dispenser, while Figure 9 shows the same wall mount in its first position according to the invention, in which the container 27 is held in an upright position. This is made possible primarily by the inventive design of the fixing elements for attaching the wall mount to a structural fixture, which preferably has a bayonet-type locking mechanism.
