  • the Closure element and the actuating element have a locking device, in the closed position of the closure element triggering the Actuator locks.
  • the closure element is on the attachment element hinged.
  • About the locking device is in the closed position also determines the position of the actuating element relative to the container, so that accidental operation of the valve can not be done.
  • Spray head can be dispensed with an overcap, as an unintentional Operation is already avoided by the closure element. in addition comes that the closure element in its locked position and the outlet opening closes and thus the formation and / or the escape of foam or Gel residue prevented.
  • the locking device consists of a Recess and a projection in the closed position of the closure element mesh.
  • a triggering of the actuating element blocked.
  • the closure element with a pin-shaped projection provided in the closed position in a recess in the corresponding Actuator engages. The projection locks the actuator such that the valve of the container is closed.
  • the closure element To effectively prevent re-foaming of the spray head, on the Be arranged inside the closure element projecting portions, which in protrude the closed position of the closure element in the outlet opening. If the outlet opening is, for example, star-shaped, then so can the projecting portion may be formed in a star shape to enter the exit opening preside. The above section may also be partially in the outlet opening protrude.
  • the closure element is located in the spray head according to the invention in its closed position, so is the actuator locked and the outlet opening sealed by the protruding portion, so that a NachMumen omitted and precluded accidental operation is.
  • the protruding portion may be integrally formed in the closure member his.
  • the closure element is provided with an insert, which carries the protruding portion for the outlet opening. The use can be used firmly in the closure element.
  • the attachment element has at least two openings, of which in a first opening the pressure area of the actuating element and in the second opening, the outlet opening of the actuating element is free.
  • the closure element is in one Area between first and second opening at the top of the attachment element hinged.
  • the closure element hereby preferably bears at its from the articulation pointing end the projection of the locking device, which in the Actuator engages.
  • the attachment element with a common Opening designed for the entire actuator, from this with his Outlet opening and the actuating portion protrudes.
  • the attachment element is formed substantially in the form of a ring.
  • the closure element can in this embodiment in his lying close to the articulation End be provided with a projection as part of the locking device.
  • the closure element is preferably designed in the form of a flap, the less covered as a half of the spray head.
  • FIGS 1 to 6 show a first embodiment of the spray head according to the invention for foam or gel products.
  • the spray head has a hood-shaped, plate-spanning attachment element 10, on which an actuating element 12 is movable is attached.
  • the actuating element 12 with the attachment element connected and the actuating element is pivotally mounted in the attachment element 10th held.
  • the actuating element 12 has a pressure region 14 which is in the direction of actuation A of the valve exerted force via a pipe 15 to a valve and that's how it works.
  • the nozzle 15 opens into the outlet opening 16 of the Actuating element.
  • the outlet opening is provided in a wall element, that is held by a funnel-shaped wall portion.
  • the article 10 has an opening in which the actuator 12 with his Pressure range 14 is freely accessible. From a second opening 20 of the essay 10, the actuator with its opening 16 is slightly ahead. Will the actuator Pressed 12 in the area 14, so the actuator 12 is the Opening 20 partially free, especially in the region of the tip of the attachment element (see Fig. 1d).
  • FIG. 1d shows by way of example a leaking foam.
  • a closure flap 22 is articulated in a region 24.
  • the Shutter 22 is in shape to the top 10 and the actuator 12 adapted in the region of its outlet opening, so that the article in the closed Position has a continuous contour.
  • the area 24 is between the first opening 18 and second opening 20.
  • the flap 22 has her pointing away from the articulation end a pin-shaped locking projection 26.
  • Inside the flap is a hollow pin 28 as above Molded portion which in the closed position of the flap 22 in the Outlet opening 16 dives and this closes.
  • the projection 26 in a bore 30 (see Fig. 1b) in the actuator disposed below the outlet opening 16. hereby the position of the actuator is determined. This is still supported in that the closure flap 22 is flat on the attachment 10 in the region 31 is applied.
