Description

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif pour l'application d'un produit liquide sous pression et le massage manuel du revêtement cutané.The present invention relates to a device for the application of a liquid product under pressure and the manual massage of the skin covering.

On connaît aujourd'hui des dispositifs pour le massage du revêtement cutané comportant un réservoir contenant le produit de traitement et une pluralité d'organes d'application montés sur un support et constitués, chacun, d'une bille sphérique maintenue dans un logement, un obturateur muni de lumières en nombre égal ou voisin de celui des organes d'application étant fixé sur le réservoir et le support des organes d'application étant monté pivotant sur ledit obturateur, de façon à permettre le réglage de la quantité de produit délivrée par les billes au cours du massage.Devices for massaging the skin covering are known today comprising a reservoir containing the treatment product and a plurality of application members mounted on a support and each consisting of a spherical ball held in a housing, a shutter provided with lights in number equal to or close to that of the application members being fixed on the reservoir and the support of the application members being pivotally mounted on said shutter, so as to allow adjustment of the quantity of product delivered by the marbles during the massage.

De tels dispositifs, tel celui décrit dans le brevet français 2 440 735, permettent de réaliser simultanément un massage et la libération progressive du produit par l'intermédiaire des billes.Such devices, such as that described in French patent 2,440,735, make it possible to simultaneously perform a massage and the gradual release of the product via the balls.

Toutefois les dispositifs connus à ce jour ne permettent pas de libérer un produit contenu sous pression dans une bombe aérosol en vue de réaliser un massage manuel du revêtement cutané à l'aide dudit produit.However, the devices known to date do not make it possible to release a product contained under pressure in an aerosol can with a view to carrying out a manual massage of the skin covering using said product.

La présente invention permet de remédier à cette carence en proposant un dispositif composé d'un organe de massage directement monté sur une valve d'un récipient sous pression de telle sorte que lorsqu'on appuie cet organe sur la peau, il actionne la valve qui laisse échapper le produit traitant, lequel peut être ensuite appliqué par massage à l'aide dudit organe sur le revêtement cutané.The present invention makes it possible to remedy this deficiency by proposing a device composed of a massage member directly mounted on a valve of a pressure vessel so that when this member is pressed against the skin, it actuates the valve which lets out the treating product, which can then be applied by massage using said organ on the skin covering.

La présente invention a ainsi pour objet un dispositif pour l'application d'un produit liquide sous pression et le massage manuel du revêtement cutané, ce dispositif se caractérisant essentiellement en ce qu'il comporte un bouton-poussoir monté sur la valve du récipient renfermant le liquide sous pression, ledit bouton-poussoir étant percé d'un orifice en son milieu pour le passage du liquide traitant et comportant à sa surface des picots pour le massage du revêtement cutané.The present invention thus relates to a device for the application of a liquid product under pressure and the manual massage of the skin covering, this device being characterized essentially in that it comprises a push button mounted on the valve of the container containing the liquid under pressure, said push button being pierced with an orifice in its middle for the passage of the treating liquid and comprising on its surface spikes for massaging the skin covering.

Les caractéristiques et les avantages de la présente invention ressortiront plus clairement de la description qui suit et qui se rapporte au dessin annexé, lequel en représente un mode de réalisation non limitatif.The characteristics and advantages of the present invention will emerge more clearly from the description which follows and which relates to the appended drawing, which represents a non-limiting embodiment thereof.

Dans le dessin annexé :

  • la figure 1 représente une vue éclatée d'un dispositif selon l'invention.
  • la figure 2 représente une vue en coupe, selon un plan vertical le sectionnant diamétralement, du bouton-poussoir de ce dispositif.
In the attached drawing:
  • Figure 1 shows an exploded view of a device according to the invention.
  • 2 shows a sectional view, along a vertical plane sectioning it diametrically, of the push button of this device.

Si l'on se réfère à la figure 1 on pzeut voir un bouton poussoir 1 de forme cylindrique percé en son milieu d'un orifice 12 et comportant à sa surface 10 des picots 11. Le bouton-poussoir 1 dont la base 14 est la plus étroite que la partie supérieure 13 est monté sur une valve 2, l'orifice 12 étant situé dans le prolongement de la canule 20 de la valve 2. La valve 2 est fixée de manière étanche à l'ouverture 31 d'un récipient 3 au moyen d'un anneau périphérique 21 qui lui est serti, une bague 30 montée sur l'anneau 21 maintenant le bouton-poussoir 1 en place tandis qu'un capuchon 31 permet de recouvrir l'ensemble du dispositif.If we refer to Figure 1 we can see a push button 1 of cylindrical shape pierced in the middle of an orifice 12 and having on its surface 10 pins 11. The push button 1 whose base 14 is the narrower than the upper part 13 is mounted on a valve 2, the orifice 12 being located in the extension of the cannula 20 of the valve 2. The valve 2 is tightly fixed to the opening 31 of a container 3 by means of a peripheral ring 21 which is crimped to it, a ring 30 mounted on the ring 21 holding the push button 1 in place while a cap 31 covers the entire device.

Si l'on se réfère à la figure 2 on peut voir que le bouton-poussoir 1 comporte intérieurement des ailettes de rigidification 15 disposées à espaces réguliers sur toute sa circonférence, et en son centre un prolongement tubulaire cylindrique 17 approximativement de la hauteur de sa partie supérieure 13, définissant un logement 16 pour la canule 20 de la valve 2, le logement 16 étant prolongé par l'orifice 12.Referring to Figure 2 we can see that the push button 1 has internally stiffening fins 15 arranged at regular intervals around its entire circumference, and in its center a cylindrical tubular extension 17 approximately the height of its upper part 13, defining a housing 16 for the cannula 20 of the valve 2, the housing 16 being extended by the orifice 12.

Lorsqu'on applique les picots 11 sur la peau et que l'on exerce une pression sur celle-ci, le bouton-poussoir 1 appuye sur la canule 20 de la valve 2 du récipient 3, libérant une petite quantité du liquide sous pression à travers la canule 20 et l'orifice 12 du bouton-poussoir 1. L'utilisateur peut ensuite masser la partie à traiter avec les picots 11, le diamètre inférieur de la base 14 du bouton-poussoir 1 lui autorisant un certain débattement qui lui confère une certaine souplesse de mise en oeuvre.When the pins 11 are applied to the skin and pressure is applied to it, the push button 1 presses on the cannula 20 of the valve 2 of the container 3, releasing a small amount of the liquid under pressure at through the cannula 20 and the orifice 12 of the push button 1. The user can then massage the part to be treated with the pins 11, the lower diameter of the base 14 of the push button 1 allowing it a certain clearance which gives it a certain flexibility of implementation.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement adapté à être utilisé pour le massage du cuir chevelu à l'aide d'un lotion appropriée.The device according to the invention is particularly suitable for being used for massaging the scalp using an appropriate lotion.
