- a device 1 for diffusing a liquid product in fine droplets this product being contained in a container 2, or bottle, generally made of plastic.
- the cross section of the container 2 has an outline, visible in Figure 3, whose shape is asymmetrical with respect to a longitudinal axis A of the container.
- This axis A according to Figure 1, is vertical; it passes through the center of a circle tangent to the front end and the rear end of the cross section of the container.
- the front part of the container situated on the left according to the representation of FIGS. 1 and 3, has a substantially semi-circular cross section, while the rear part 3 has a cross section also substantially semi-circular but of smaller radius; the two side faces extending between the front and rear parts are flat and converge towards the rear.
- the container 2 has a vertical plane of symmetry V, passing through the axis A and the front and rear end edges of this container.
- front designates the side on which the exit of the liquid occurs and that the term “rear” designates the opposite side.
- the container 2 is equipped with a dispensing head 4 constituted, in the example considered, by the head of a pump whose body is crimped at 5 onto an outlet pipe 6 of the container 2.
- the pipe 6 and the head 4, coaxial with the tubing, are shifted forward relative to the axis A of the container.
- the container 2 is provided, below the head 4, with a latching groove 7.
- the head 4 can be inserted into the pump body to cause the exit of finely atomized liquid, through an outlet orifice 8 provided laterally in this head 4, in a direction orthogonal to the direction of insertion.
- the head 4 can rotate around an axis B parallel to the driving direction.
- the upper part of the head 4 is asymmetrical with respect to this axis B, as clearly visible in FIG. 2. It comprises, on its upper surface, a step 9 determining two zones 10, 11 respectively low and high.
- the step 9 passing from one zone to the other consists of a portion of wall parallel to the axis B and to the axis of the outlet orifice 8.
- the step 9 is offset laterally relative to the axis B.
- Zone 11 may have a slight concavity facing upwards.
- the device further comprises a cover 12 suitable for covering the container and the dispensing head by being snapped into place by a lower bead 13 in the groove 7.
- the cover 12 generally made of plastic, has a cross section similar to that of the container 2 so as to extend the body of the container when this cover is in place.
- the cover 12 is equipped with an actuating member of the distribution valve, constituted by a lever 14.
- This lever 14 has the form of a right dihedral admitting an upper horizontal face 15, when the container 2 is vertical, and a rear rear face 16 vertical. The two faces are joined by an outwardly convex surface r .
- the upper face 15 is flat while the rear face 16 is substantially semi-cylindrical so as to fit into the internal contour of the rear face 17 of the cover, which is similar to the rear face 3 of the container.
- the faces 15 and 16 are between two planar walls 18, 19 converging slightly towards the rear and substantially tangent, internally, to the side walls of the cover.
- the walls 18 and 19 extend to the lower edge of the rear face 16, but stop a certain distance behind the front edge 20 of the upper face 15. These side walls 18, 19 are limited by an edge 21 in an arc.
- the cover 12 has at its rear part, upwards, a notch limited by a contour 22 substantially in an arc, situated slightly above the edge 21 when the lever 14 is in the rest position. This indentation makes it possible to leave the bulk of the push-button 14 visible, which substantially completes the outline of the cover 12 at this indentation.
- the lever 14 is articulated, at the central part of its front edge 20, on the front wall of the cover 12, preferably by a film hinge 23 (see FIG. 3), which makes it possible to mold in one piece the cover 12 and the lever 14.
- the lever 14 has, under its upper face 15, a support means P for exerting pressure on the head 4 and pressing the dispensing valve.
- the support means P comprises two fins 24, 25 of different height, orthogonal to the face 15 and parallel to the plane V.
- the least tallest fin 24 has the shape of a semicircle turning its convexity downwards and accepts plane V as a medium plane. This fin 24 is intended to press against the upper zone 11 of the head 4.
- the other higher fin 25, offset transversely relative to the fin 24, is intended to engage against the wall of the step 9 to impose the proper angular orientation of the head 4.
- This fin 25 has a substantially trapezoidal shape . When its plane is in lateral abutment against the step 9, itself plane, the axis of the outlet orifice 8 is located in the vertical plane V of symmetry.
- the cover 12 has, in its front peripheral wall, an opening 26 of substantially rectangular shape with rounded ends, the large dimension of which is oriented vertically. This opening admits the plane V as the plane of symmetry and is located opposite the outlet orifice 8 when the various elements have been assembled in the correct angular position.
- the cover 12 comprises, at the rear, a hooking means C of the rear part of the lever 14 to block this lever in the rest position and prevent any action on the head 4; the lever escapement with respect to this attachment means C is obtained by a slight deformation, under the action of a push, of the rear wall 16 of the lever.
- the attachment means C advantageously consists of a spout 27 provided on the internal surface of the rear wall 17 of the cover, in the upper part, capable of cooperating with the lower edge of the rear face 16 of the lever 14.
- the asymmetrical shape of the cross section of the container 2, and of the corresponding cross section of the cover 12 allows the mounting of the cover on the container only according to a determined angular orientation, the opening 26 being towards the front and the face 16 lever located towards the rear.
- This shape of the cross section of the container and the cover therefore constitutes a means of orientation between the cover and the container.
- the cover can only be correctly placed on the container if the head 4 is correctly oriented with the axis of its outlet orifice 8 located in the vertical plane V so that the fin 25 can engage against the step 9.
- the step 9 therefore constitutes a angular positioning means of the head 4 cooperating with the support means P of the lever which comprises the fin 25.
- the outlet orifice 8 is located opposite the opening 26.
- the head 4 can no longer rotate about the axis B.
- Figures 4 to 6 show an alternative embodiment whose elements identical or playing roles equivalent to elements already described with respect to the previous figures are designated by a numerical reference equal to the sum of the number 100 and the reference used previously. The description of these elements will not be repeated, or will only be done briefly.
- the dispensing head 104 is provided with an outlet tube 28 coaxial with the head, and parallel to the driving direction of the head.
- the tube 28 can be frustoconical externally and decrease in external diameter in the direction which moves away from the head 104.
- the tube 28 has an internal passage 108 of constant circular section.
- the opening 126 of the cover 112 is made, no longer in the peripheral wall which is continuous, but in the upper part of the cover formed by the actuating member or lever 114.
- the opening 126 is circular and has a larger diameter to that of the part of the tube 28 passing through this opening and projecting beyond the lever 114.
- the diameter of the opening 126 is sufficient to allow the deflections of the lever 114, without there being any interference with the tube 28.
- the tube 28 is equipped, at its base, with a flange 29 surrounding the tube of which it is integral and against which the fins 124, 125 bear, of the same height, of the lever 114.
- the fins 124, 125 are arranged on the side and on the other side of the tube 28.
- the flange 29 has an oval or substantially elliptical shape, the major axis of which is intended to be placed perpendicular to the vertical plane of symmetry V of the container, plan, the trace of which in Figure 6 corresponds to line IV-IV.
- the flange 29 comprises guide means, advantageously formed by grooves 30, 31 provided on its upper surface, capable of cooperating with the fins 124, 125 to maintain the flange 29 in the position illustrated in FIG. 6.
- the base of the fins 124, 125, when the position of the flange 29 is correct, is received respectively in the grooves 30, 31.
- the head 104 can be arranged with a circular or substantially circular flange 29 a , having a diameter at least equal to the distance between the external faces of the fins 124, 125.
- the device according to the invention has a number of advantages.
- the fulcrum of the lever, for the user, located at the rear provides great flexibility of use, thus ensuring fine spraying thanks to the complete ejection of the precompressed dose.
- the pressure exerted on the head is always oriented along the axis B of this head. The quality of the products distributed is improved.
- This device is ergonomic, in particular due to the shape of the cross section of the push button and of the bottle, and thus allows prolonged use without effort.
- This device can be used with long nails, with the thumb or forefinger, being held with one hand, whether one is right-handed or left-handed.
- the attachment device formed by the spout 27, 127 constitutes an invisible opening / closing system.
- the diffuser device according to the invention will be delivered in the closed position, that is to say lever 14, 114 hung on the spout 27, 127. It will suffice with a simple pressure on the rear face 16, 116 to place the device in operating position. To return to the "closed" position, for example in the event of transport of the device during a trip, it suffices to slightly raise the cover 14, 114 to ensure attachment to the spout 27, 127.
