Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a nozzle for dispensing a foaming product intended to be mounted on a pressurized container equipped with an emerging stem valve.
  • Such a tip generally comprises a fixing element ensuring its retention on the container and a dispensing element which is movable relative to this fixing element.
  • the dispensing element comprises, on the one hand, an internal bore intended to receive in leaktight manner the emerging stem of the valve and, on the other hand, a distribution tube whose internal channel communicates with the bore.
  • the apex of the emerging rod occupies in this bore a first level, called the lower level, when the distribution element is not subjected to any action by a user, and a second level, called the upper level, when the user acts on the distribution element for causing the distribution of the product contained in the pressurized container.
  • the user when the user exerts pressure on the dispensing element, it causes, on the one hand, the opening of the valve with which the container is provided and consequently an ejection of the product contained in this container in the tube and , on the other hand, a depression of the lower part of the tube around the valve stem thanks to the bore.
  • the foaming product is therefore ejected into the tube and delivered to the upper part thereof where the user can collect the quantity of foaming product delivered.
  • no foaming product is therefore no longer ejected into the tube and consequently collected at the upper end of the latter.
  • one of the aims of the present invention is to provide a nozzle of the type described above which overcomes this drawback while being simple and economical.
  • a nozzle for dispensing a foaming product of the aforementioned type which is characterized, according to the present invention, by the fact that, in the lower wall of the bore is formed at least one groove whose apex is disposed between the above and lower levels above and whose base opens above the valve cup in an area of the bore which is not closed by the valve stem.
  • the bore area, into which the base of the groove (s) opens has a flared shape, the large section of which is closest to the valve cup and the small section of which connects to a zone of the bore whose cross section is substantially that of the emerging rod, this latter zone containing the top of the groove (s).
  • This flared area of the bore is, for example, frustoconical.
  • the zone of the bore is a cylindrical zone of circular cross section, the apex of the emerging rod coming, at its upper level, to bear against an annular shoulder in the central area from which the inner channel of the distribution tube opens.
  • the end piece comprises a plurality of grooves. This (these) is (or are) substantially parallel (s) to the axis of the bore.
  • the groove (s) has (or have), in the region of the bore whose cross section is substantially that of the emerging stem, a rectangular cross section.
  • the end piece has several grooves, these are preferably regularly distributed in the wall of the bore.
  • the element for fixing the end piece on the container is a collar snapped onto the crimping bead of the valve cup.
  • the dispensing element comprises a plate secured to the flange by an elastic hinge, this plate being provided with a pusher element and carrying the distribution tube which is arranged substantially perpendicular to the plate.
  • a nozzle designated as a whole by the reference 1, for dispensing a foaming product enclosed in a pressurized container 2, includes as a fixing element, a flange 3 making it possible to fix it by snap-fastening on the crimping bead of the valve cup 4. It also comprises a distribution element which consists of a plate 6 secured to the flange 3 by an elastic hinge 5.
  • This elastic hinge 5 is relatively thick to have a memory allowing, after use, a return to a substantially horizontal position of the plate 6.
  • This plate 6 is provided with a push element 8, or push button, and carries a tube of distribution 7 which is arranged substantially perpendicular to the plate 6, according to the present exemplary embodiment.
  • This tube has at its lower part, that is to say that by which it is connected to the plate 6, an internal bore 9 intended to receive in leaktight manner the emerging rod 10 of the valve with which this pressurized container 2 is provided. : this is particularly visible in Figure 3.
  • the top of the emerging rod 10 of the valve occupies in the bore 9 a first level, called lower, as shown in Figure 3, when a user exerts no action on the push button 8, and a second level, called the upper level, when the user acts on this push button 8 to cause the dispensing of a quantity of product.
  • grooves 11 which in this example are eight in number, are regularly distributed in the wall of the bore 9, and are substantially parallel to the axis of this bore 9.
  • the zone of the bore 9, into which the base of the grooves 11 opens, has a tapered flared shape, the large section of which is closest to the valve cup 4 and the small section of which is connected to a zone of the bore 9, the cross section of which is substantially that of the emerging rod with the clearance required to allow the sliding of this rod in the bore 9.
  • the grooves 11 have their apex located there and have a rectangular cross section.
  • This same zone is cylindrical with a circular cross section, the apex of the emerging stem coming, at its upper level, in sealed support with an annular shoulder 12 in the central zone from which the inner channel 13 of the distribution tube 7 opens.
  • the valve When the user releases his action on the push-button 8, it causes the valve to close, the wafer 6 to rise and consequently the tube 7 along the rod 10: in this position shown in FIG. 3, the top of the emerging valve stem 10 is located below the top of the grooves 11.
  • the walls of the emerging valve stem 10 and of the tube 7 delimit, at the level of the grooves 11, conduits through which may be drain off the foaming product contained in the tube 7, which will have liquefied after the ejection of a quantity of foam as explained above.
  • the liquefied foaming product discharged through the grooves 11 is collected in the valve cup 4. It therefore does not stagnate above the upper end of the valve stem 10 at the bore 9: it does not therefore more likely to penetrate inside the stem 10 of the valve and consequently to plug it while drying.
