Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the packaging industry for pressurized fluids called "aerosol" and is more particularly aimed at valve actuators for actuating the valve of such packages.
  • the pusher is generally protected by a cap which the user must remove to gain access to the pusher.
  • a drawback stems from the fact that the user must keep the cover in his hand or place it on a table or other support during the entire time of use, with a risk of deterioration, or forgetfulness of the cover.
  • Devices have also been proposed in which the pusher is rotatably mounted on a support, immobilized on the container and in which it can slide axially only in a predetermined angular position. This has the drawback of leaving the pusher dispensing nozzle constantly exposed to external contamination and often complicates the operation of mounting the pusher in the packaging chains, especially when it is necessary to index the position of the jet of the pusher nozzle. relative to the container.
  • the invention aims to overcome the drawbacks of conventional push-dispensers and allow the production of packaging in which the nozzle can be protected from any external pollution and the valve can not be operated outside of periods of use , without there being a cap or other part to be removed to gain access to the pusher, and without any particular precaution to be observed when mounting the pusher-dispenser on the container fitted with its valve.
  • the subject of the invention is a lockable dispenser-valve for aerosol valve, comprising a one-piece body, the base of which has means of attachment to an aerosol container and the upper part of which is articulated on the base by a flexible flexible tongue by a cutout of the wall of the body, comprises laterally a dispensing nozzle situated above the articulation tongue and connected to an axial tube for connection to the hollow actuating and dispensing rod of the valve; - push-dispenser characterized in that the upper part of its body is surrounded by a ring, free to rotate but locked in axial translation, extended radially by a manual actuation lever, and in that the edge of the ring of the side of the base of the body is inclined diametrically, the ring being shorter below the lever, while its longer side, diametrically opposite the lever, comes in the immediate vicinity of a circular shoulder of the outer wall of the base of the body, so that, when the lever is brought, by rotation of the ring, opposite the nozzle, it can be
  • the wall of the ring has, with the lever, extensions forming a nut in front of the nozzle in the locking position of the valve plunger.
  • the axis of the nozzle is inclined about 120 ° relative to the axis of the upper part of the body, the nozzle normally opening at a frustoconical end wall of the upper part of the body.
  • the ring and the upper part of the body to carry additional indexing means, of the elastically surmountable lug-notch type, for locating the lever carried by the ring opposite the nozzle, in the locked position, and on the opposite side in the operating position.
  • the subject of the invention is also the so-called "aerosol" pressure conditioning articles fitted with a lockable dispenser-valve according to the invention.
  • the pusher-distributor according to the invention shown in the drawings is made of two molded pieces of plastic, for example polypropylene, fitted one inside the other: a body 1 and a ring 2.
  • the body comprises a base 3 and an upper part 4 articulated on a circular shoulder 5 from the top of the base by an elastic tongue delimited by a cutout 6 in an arc.
  • the upper part 4 of the body comprises a dispensing nozzle 7 normally opening into a frustoconical wall 8 end of this upper part.
  • This nozzle 7 is connected, by a channel 9 inclined at about 120 ° to an axial tube 10 for connection to the hollow rod 11 for actuating and distributing the valve of a container 12 for aerosol packaging, indicated by dotted line on the Figure 2.
  • the tube 10 is reinforced by radial fins 13, 13 '.
  • the base 3 has internally a marginal bead 14 and radial fins 15a-15e which snap-fit the marginal lateral part of the top of the container 12 ( Figure 2) to secure the body 1 of the container.
  • the ring 2 is mounted to pivot freely around the upper part 4 of the body 1, but is axially wedged by snap-fastening of an internal circumferential rib 16 of the ring in an external circumferential groove 17 of the cylindrical side wall 18 of the part upper 4 of the body 1.
  • the ring 2 is extended radially by a lever 18 for manual actuation which has a deflection 19 for the support of the user's finger 20 (FIG. 2).
  • the edge 21 'of the ring facing the shoulder 5 of the base 3 is inclined diametrically about 7 ° relative to the axis of the ring, so that the edge of the shortest part of the ring is located below the lever 18 at a distance from the shoulder 5, while the edge of the longest part of the ring, diametrically opposite the lever comes close to the shoulder 5 which thus forms a stop .
  • the lever 18 has two lateral cheeks 21, 22 and an upper plate 23 which, with an extension of the wall of the ring, beyond the rib 16, surround the nozzle 7 in the locked position (FIG. 1) and the thus protect from any external pollution.
  • the plate 23 has an axial lug 24 which cooperates with two notches 25, 26 diametrically opposite from the top of the upper part 4 of the body to index the lever at will, and consequently the ring, in the locking position ( Figure 1) or the position of use ( Figures 2 and 3).

  1. Verriegelbarer Steuerstößel für ein Aerosolventil, mit einem einstückigen Körper, dessen Basis (3) eine Einrichtung (14-15) zur Befestigung auf einem Aerosolbehälter (12) bildet, und dessen oberer Teil (4), der durch eine durch einen Ausschnitt (6) der Wand des Körpers festgelegte flexible Zunge auf der Basis angelenkt ist, seitlich eine Austragdüse (7) umfaßt, die über der Gelenkzunge angeordnet und mit einem axialen Rohr (10) zur Verbindung mit dem hohlen Schaft (11) zur Betätigung und Steuerung des Ventils verbunden ist, wobei der Steuerstößel dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, daß der obere Teil (4) seines Körpers (1) von einem dreh-, axial jedoch nicht verstellbaren Ring (2) umgeben ist, der radial durch einen Handbetätigungshebel (18) verlängert ist, und daß der Rand (21') des Rings auf der Seite der Basis des Körpers diametral geneigt verläuft, so daß der Ring im Bereich senkrecht unter dem Hebel kürzer ist, wobei seine dem Hebel diametral gegenüberliegende längste Seite in unmittelbare Nachbarschaft einer kreisförmigen Schulter (5) der Außenwand der Basis (3) des Körpers derart gelangt, daß, wenn der Hebel durch Drehen des Rings in die von der Düse abgewandte Lage verstellt wird, er zur Betätigung des Ventils abgesenkt werden kann, indem der obere Teil des Körpers dank der unter der Düse angeordneten Gelenkzunge und dank des Spielraums des Rings unter dem Hebel geneigt auf die Basis gedrängt wird, wohingegen, wenn der Hebel in Gegenüberlage zur Düse verstellt wird, er nicht abgesenkt werden kann, weil die Gelenkzunge sich dann unter dem Hebel befindet, während der längste Teil des Rings sich in abgewandter Lage zum Hebel im Anschlag gegen die Schulter der Basis befindet, wodurch der Steuerstößel in dieser Stellung gegen jegliche unbeabsichtigte Betätigung des Ventils verriegelt ist.
