Dosing dispenser
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing dosing dispensers for liquid products are complex to assemble and lack standardization, leading to user misunderstandings and potential loss of components, making it difficult to safely identify and switch between different liquid products.
Innovation Solution
The dosing dispenser features a mechanical adjustment device with color-coded and symbol-labeled product indication sections that can be linearly, rotationally, or swivel-movably positioned, along with a concentric drain bearing and a resting mechanism to secure the setting element, allowing for easy assembly and product identification.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual attachment of resting clips is used for product identification, then product indication is achieved, but assembly complexity increases and clips can be lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the product indication function directly into the liquid product container by incorporating product indication sections with different colors and symbols on the container surface. This merging eliminates the need for separate resting clips that were previously attached manually, thereby reducing assembly complexity while maintaining reliable product identification.
Solution Approach 2:
The liquid product container is designed to automatically provide product identification information through its own surface markings (colors and symbols). The container serves itself by having the identification features built-in, eliminating the need for external attachment of identification components by the user.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple resting clips with different designs are used for different countries, then local requirements are met, but standardization is lost and user misunderstandings arise
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs universal product indication sections with standardized colors and symbols that can be understood across different countries and cultures. These indication sections are integrated into the liquid product container design, allowing the same container structure to serve multiple international markets without requiring country-specific modifications or attachments.
3Reliability
If resting clips are attached manually, then product indication can be provided, but components can be lost making the dosing dispenser non-functional
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the product indication function with the liquid product container itself by incorporating colored and symbol-marked sections directly on the container. This integration eliminates separate movable components that could be lost, while the container maintains its ability to provide clear product identification.
4Measurement precision
If complex assembly of resting clips is required, then precise product indication is achieved, but assembly time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The liquid product container is pre-designed with integrated product indication sections that require no assembly by the user. The container arrives ready-to-use with its identification features already in place, eliminating assembly time while maintaining precise product indication through color and symbol differentiation.

AI summary
1. Dispensing dispenser and housing structure therefor 2.1 A dispensing dispenser with a support structure to which a liquid product container is interchangeably held, and with a housing structure that is detachably attached to the support structure and covers the liquid product container when assembled, is known. 2.2 According to the invention, the housing structure is associated with a mechanical adjusting device for manually setting a liquid product specification, which has a movable adjusting element on which at least two different product indication sections are provided one after the other in the direction of movement of the adjusting element, and that the housing structure or the adjusting element has a visible marking which is arranged to each other in such a way that, depending on an adjusting position of the adjusting element, a single product indication section can be signaled. 2.3 Use for medical liquid products
