BASKET

Abstract

A basket for securing a container to a dispenser has a device for connecting the basket with the dispenser and a device for connecting the basket with the container and a cylindrical seat for a valve of the container, wherein the basket provides a fluid connection between the container and the dispenser, wherein the basket provides a grip area for mounting the basket on the dispenser. The grip area is located on the cylindrical seat. The location of the grip area on the cylindrical seat reduces the height of the basket and improves the handling of the dispenser.

Claims

1. A basket (1) for securing a container to a dispenser with means for connecting the basket with the dispenser (2) and means for connecting the basket with the container (3) and a cylindrical seat (5) for a valve of the container, wherein the basket (1) provides a fluid connection between the container and the dispenser, wherein the basket (1) provides a single grip area (4) for mounting the basket (1) on the dispenser, wherein the grip area (4) is located on the cylindrical seat (5) for a valve of the container and is shaped for being seized by means of a screw wrench, wherein the grip area (4) extends vertically inside the means for connecting the basket with the container (3).

2. The basket (1) according to claim 1, wherein the grip area (4) has a hexagonal shape.

3. The basket (1) according to claim 1, wherein the grip area (4) extends vertically over the basket (1).

4. The basket (1) according to claim 1, wherein the basket (1) is provided with openings which allow seizing of the grip area (4).

Description

[0013] In the following, a preferred embodiment of the invention is described with reference to the figures wherein

[0014] FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a basket according to the present invention,

[0015] FIG. 2 shows a side view of the basket according to FIG. 1,

[0016] FIG. 3 shows another side view of the basket according to FIG. 1,

[0017] FIG. 4 shows a top view of the basket according to FIG. 1,

[0018] The FIGS. 1 to 4 show the basket 1 in an unmounted state.

[0019] The basket 1 comprises of means for connecting the basket with a dispenser 2 and means for connecting the basket with a container 3. Both means are threaded joints. The basket 1 provides a fluid connection between the container and the dispenser in its mounted state.

[0020] In order to connect the basket 1 to the dispenser, the basket provides a grip area 4. This grip area 4 has a hexagonal shape in order to simplify the mounting of the basket 1 on the dispenser. The grip area 4 is located on the cylindrical seat 5 of the basket. It can be seen from FIGS. 2 and 3 that the grip area 4 extends vertically over the basket 1 which makes it easier to seize it with the hand or a screw wrench.

[0021] The cylindrical seat 5 establishes a sealed fluid connection between a valve of the container and the dispenser. The integration of the grip area 4 on the cylindrical seat 5 reduces the height of the basket 1 and reduces the amount of material needed for production of the basket 1.
