Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a packaging and distribution assembly a liquid or semi-liquid, or even highly viscous product.
  • the invention is everything particularly suitable for packaging and spraying products liquids used in the field of cosmetics, or dermato-pharmacology, such as perfumes.
  • the invention is particularly suitable to manually operated pump devices.
  • Liquid spraying devices either by means of a manual actuation, either by means of a valve used in combination with a liquid under pressure, have been the subject of numerous descriptions in the patent literature.
  • valve or pump is actuated by means of a push button mounted on a hollow rod, which is mounted on return means elastic, and being able, under the effect of a pressure exerted on the push button, sink in so as to connect the defined channel inside the hollow rod with the contents of the tank.
  • This communication allows the distribution of the liquid through an outlet member connected to said channel.
  • the outlet member may consist of a nozzle, or of any other diffusion member, of the grid type, porous member, etc.
  • the efficiency of the system in particular the minimum force necessary for actuating the distribution element (i.e. the output) depends to a large extent on how the actuation pressure is retransmitted to the pump rod.
  • the problem arises in particular when the force exerted on the push button is not arranged exactly along the axis of the rod but is offset, which produces at the pump rod, a constraint having both a vertical component and a component horizontal.
  • it there is a certain bracing of the rod which impairs its proper sinking in the pump body, and which requires to exert a greater bearing force to produce the sinking of the rod necessary to actuate the pump.
  • Patent FR-A-2,692,235 describes a device for dispensing a liquid product comprising a container provided, in the upper part, with a dispensing member carrying a push button, a cover fitted with an actuating member in the form of lever articulated on the hood and provided with a support means to act on the surface upper outer of the push button, the articulation of the actuator on the hood, being located, in height, to the right of the mid-height of the stroke of the pushbutton.
  • the upper outer surface of the push button is a convex spherical surface
  • the support means is a circular ring whose the annular lower end defines a spherical bearing complementary to that of the upper external surface of the push button.
  • the coupling between the button pusher and valve stem is a fixed coupling as in the devices conventional. Only the coupling between the support surface and the push button is produced by means of a connection in the form of a spherical surface on which supports a surface of complementary shape.
  • This solution does not resolve in its entirety the problem of the valve stem bracing, which remains partially depending on the position of application of the pressing force on the bearing surface.
  • the system is, by design, complicated and expensive to make.
  • the actuation of the pump or valve is not produces effectively only if the supporting force is exerted on a localized area the support means, namely substantially opposite the articulation of the organ on the hood.
  • the system is relatively fragile.
  • the nozzle product outlet is secured to the push button. So when actuating pump or valve, the push button is pushed in axially, as well as the product outlet nozzle. There then arises a problem similar to that which will now be discussed in more detail with reference to a number of others prior art documents.
  • the certificate of utility application FR 2 682 937 describes a device pump type spray, comprising a pump mounted on a bottle, and having a hollow rod which serves as an outlet conduit and a member actuation, and is movable in the pump body against the action of a spring.
  • a dispenser cap is mounted on the bottle above the pump, and comprises a pressure actuating element provided with means mechanical coupling with the hollow rod.
  • the cap includes also a spray nozzle and an internal channel which opens into the nozzle, as well as connecting means for bringing the hollow rod into communication with the internal channel of the cap.
  • connection means comprise a flexible tubular element coupled to one end of the hollow rod and at the end opposite the internal channel of the dispenser cap.
  • these objects are achieved by producing a set of packaging and distribution of a product contained in a tank, surmounted by a distribution element having a hollow rod of axis A, on which is mounted an actuating member of said dispensing element, said actuator comprising a bearing surface, a coupling forming ball joint is provided between the hollow rod and the push button for, in response to a pressure exerted on said bearing surface, outside the axis of the hollow rod, cause movement of the actuator around the axis of the rod in a cone whose apex is centered on the axis of the rod, and transmit to the hollow rod, a force located essentially in the axis of the rod, so that cause the hollow rod to sink in and distribute the product through an output device.
  • the assembly comprises a body of axis X, forming said reservoir for the product, the product leaving through at least one orifice formed in said outlet member, the outlet member being connected to the distribution element by a conduit forming a flexible coupling, and being held stationary on a fixed portion of the body surmounting the reservoir, the actuator being free movement in said fixed portion of the body.
  • the hollow rod can do integral part of the distribution element, or be part of the organ actuation, in which case it is intended to be positioned in a housing correspondent of the distribution element.
  • the only coupling existing between the output member and the actuating member mobile is done via a conduit forming a flexible coupling.
  • the flexibility of coupling absorbs substantially all of the movement of said actuator so that when the pump or valve is actuated, the outlet, located outside the axis of the hollow rod, does not move significantly.
  • This characteristic added to the characteristic according to which the coupling between the push button and the hollow rod is a coupling in the form of a connection ball joint, substantially eliminates any movement of the outlet nozzle, the ball joint absorbing the angular difference compared to the slight crankshaft movement created by moving the push button up and down.
  • the ball joint directly existing between the push button and the rod hollow allows to transform a force applied in an offset way on the bearing surface, in a force which on the hollow rod is substantially arranged on the axis of the rod. This avoids any risk of bracing.
  • the component horizontal force is negligible compared to the vertical component transmitted to the hollow rod.
  • the loss of compression at the operation between a push button located in the axis and an inclined push button is negligible.
  • the distribution element consists of a pump manual actuation. With such a pump, the liquid in the tank is not pressurized, which pressurization would not be compatible with certain products, including perfumes.
  • Said distribution element can be offset with respect to the X axis.
  • feature has proven to be particularly advantageous, especially in the case of a pump rod with a large actuation stroke, to further improve absorption of the movement of the actuating member by the flexible connector.
  • a such a configuration in fact allows the use of longer stroke pumps actuation, and therefore at higher flow.
  • said coupling forming a ball joint is formed by at least a portion sphere traversed by a channel intended for mounting on the rod, said portion sphere being located inside a recess provided in said member and of which at least part is of complementary shape to that of the sphere, in order to make a ball joint between the hollow rod and the push button.
  • the portion of advantageously arranged symmetrically with respect to the axis of the hollow stem.
  • said sphere is maintained in position in the recess by snap or crimping.
  • the sphere is made of plastic (polypropylene, high density polyethylene, etc.) or metal.
  • the cone in which the axis of the push button moves has an opening of between 5 ° and 25 °, and preferably between 5 ° and 15 °.
  • the outlet member is a nozzle for spraying a liquid product such as a perfume.
  • a nozzle is of known configuration, and does not therefore requires no detailed description.
  • the body comprises a transverse partition separating a first volume, defining said reservoir, from a second volume, surmounting the first, said second volume containing the distribution element mounted on an orifice formed in said partition, the actuating member mounted on said distribution element, the outlet member, as well as the conduit forming said flexible coupling.
  • the outlet nozzle is disposed substantially stationary in the bottom of a recess formed in a side wall of the second volume, said offset leading to a free edge of the second volume, located opposite of the transverse partition. Keeping the nozzle stationary in the bottom of the offset (in particular its positioning perpendicular to the axis of the device) can be improved by providing inside said side wall, alignment with the bottom of the recess, an extra thickness which increases the nozzle support width.
  • the output member can be mounted inside a communicating chamber with the conduit forming the flexible coupling, the actuating member, the chamber, as well as the flexible conduit forming a single piece and are obtained by molding of a thermoplastic material.
  • said thermoplastic material is a low density polyethylene (LDPE), or a mixture of low polyethylene density (LDPE) / high density polyethylene (HDPE) with HDPE content at more equal to 25% of the mixture.
  • LDPE low density polyethylene
  • HDPE high density polyethylene
  • the bearing surface on which the actuating pressure is exerted consists of an attachment. This facilitates the release of the organ actuating.
  • the insert can be mounted by snapping, gluing, or welding.
  • the conduit forming said flexible coupling forms a bellows. This characteristic is particularly advantageous when the product to be distributed, due to its nature, requires to use for the conduit of connecting a material that does not have sufficient inherent flexibility. In this case we overcome this lack of flexibility by giving the conduit a flexible configuration
  • the body is formed in one piece.
  • the body is obtained from molding of a thermoplastic material chosen from polypropylenes (PP), polyethylene terephthalates (PET), etc.
  • the thermoplastic material can be introduced into the mold by injection.
  • the output member is, in a particular embodiment, located substantially at the same level as said free end of the hollow rod. In reality, with the mounting according to this embodiment of the invention, it can be placed substantially anywhere relative to the free end of the pump rod or valve. It can in particular be placed below the free end of the rod of pump, thereby reducing the axial height of the assembly.
  • the second volume has an end opposite to said partition, said end being closed by a protective element of which at least a part, located opposite the member actuation, is made of a flexible material, so that it can actuating said actuating member through said protective element.
  • This protective element makes it possible to create a closed, aesthetically pleasing set remarkable. Furthermore, this protective element contributes to forming a closed set, avoiding all risks of soiling resulting from a system having recess areas, difficult to access to be cleaned, and in which liquid could settle so untimely.
  • this element of protection can also participate in maintaining the output member in a fixed position by relation to the body of the device.
  • Such a protective element may include a carcass in the form of a part rigid or semi-rigid annular, said protective element being maintained in position on said end of the second volume by means of a covering external covering said assembly over substantially its entire height, an orifice being arranged in said external covering opposite the outlet member, said external covering having opposite said end of the second volume, a bottom with a cutout opposite the actuator.
  • locating means of the polarizing type, can be designed to allow good angular positioning of the covering relative to to the rest of the body.
  • the rigid or semi-rigid annular part may comprise a leg portion of which the free end is intended to come to bear on the outlet nozzle so as to immobilize the latter at the bottom of the recess.
  • the covering may, at least in the vicinity of one end of the first volume, opposite to said partition, be self-tightening on the body of said assembly.
  • the self-tightening can be made by axial grooves on the surface external of the body, and / or on the internal surface of the covering.
  • the dressing can be made of metal or plastic.
  • the fitting of the covering on the body can be do so by any other appropriate means.
  • the cover can be screwed on, welded, or slammed on the body.
  • the protective element can be formed by bi-injection of two materials compatible, a first rigid or semi-rigid material, forming the part annular, a second flexible material, forming the part located opposite the actuator.
  • Two compatible materials means two materials which, at the injection temperature, are capable of forming bonds physico-chemical between them.
  • the first material is a polypropylene (PP) or high density polyethylene (HDPE), the second material being SEBS.
  • the reservoir has an added bottom, tightly mounted on the body. This feature is all particularly advantageous in the case where the body of the assembly is obtained from molding, in one piece. In addition, it allows filling from the bottom of the tank.
  • Said added base may have an orifice for filling the reservoir, said orifice being closed after filling with a sealing element.
  • This orifice diameter limited in relation to the tank section allows to reduce considerable risk of product spillage and loss overboard of the tank, during jerky handling by industrial tools, the assembly filled with product, before closing the bottom of the tank.
  • a first sealing zone can be produced by at least one snap cord.
  • the second sealing zone can be achieved by self-tightening assembly of a portion of the base attached to the internal walls of the body.
  • a third sealing zone is produced between the first two, said third sealing zone being produced by means of a O-ring placed in the bottom of a groove in a side wall of the background reported.

  • This flexible connection between the outlet nozzle 9 and the push button absorbs most of the push button movement, insulating thus the nozzle of said push button, which outlet nozzle is then almost insensitive to actuation movements of the push button 34.
  • the axial movement of the part of the flexible duct 41, the most away from the outlet nozzle is limited by the tilting movement caused by the ball joint of the push button on the pump rod, in response to a pressure exerted offset from the axis of the hollow rod, thus further isolating the nozzle 9 from the push button. So, due to the flexible connection between the outlet nozzle and the push button, as well as the connection ball joint between the push button and the pump or valve stem, the outlet member is substantially stationary when the push button is actuated.
  • the conduit 41 can be made of elastomeric material (SEBS, EPDM).
  • the outlet nozzle, 9 disposed inside a chamber 44 extending the flexible conduit 41 is held stationary in the bottom of the notch 42 at by means of a tab 45 carried by the annular carcass 46 of an element of protection 47.
  • the annular carcass made for example of polypropylene, has a profile which generally follows the profile of the edge of the upper end 35 of the body 10.
  • the opening bounded by the upper edge of the carcass annular 46 is closed by a flexible membrane 7 intended to be positioned opposite push button 34.
  • the flexible membrane is made advantageously in SEBS (styrene-ethylene-butadiene copolymer sequenced), and can be performed by bi-injection with the carcass in polypropylene.
  • the protective element When mounting, the protective element is placed on the end upper 35 of the body 10, the internal diameter of the annular carcass 46 being slightly greater than the external diameter of the body 10.
  • the tab 45 comes to bear on the upper part of the chamber 44 containing the nozzle 9, which is thus immobilized. Keeping the chamber 44 and therefore the nozzle 9 immobile can be improved by providing on the inner wall of the upper volume 13, a extra thickness in alignment with the bottom of the notch 42 so as to ensure better positioning of the chamber 44.
  • the assembly thus described is intended to be mounted inside an external covering 2 in aluminum for example.
  • the bottom 5 of the external covering has a profile cutting similar to the cutting of the upper end 35 of the body 10, as well as the cut formed by the upper edge of the annular carcass of the protective element 47.
  • the shape of the cutout 6 in the external covering 2 is such that it substantially coincides with the flexible membrane 7 of the element of protection 47.
  • An orifice 8 is formed on the external covering 2, opposite the outlet nozzle.
  • the assembly of the assembly is carried out as follows. First, the pump is mounted in port 29; body 10 is turned over and filled from the bottom through the orifice 22, which is then closed by the plug 24; ball 101 is mounted by snap-fitting inside the recess 100 of the push button 34; the push button 34, equipped with its flexible conduit 41 and the outlet nozzle 9 inside the chamber 44, is mounted on the outlet rod 33 of the pump, the outlet rod 33 being forcibly mounted in the channel 103 passing through the ball 101; the protective element 47 is placed on the upper end 35 of the body; the external covering is then slipped over the assembly, locating means (of axial groove type) ensuring good angular positioning of the body by compared to the exterior trim 2.
  • the body 10 is of slightly increasing section towards its lower end 14 so that at least in the vicinity of its lower end 14, the body is kept tight inside the covering external 2.
  • the lower edge of the protective element 47 is held between the wall outside of the body 10 and the internal wall of the covering 2. The device is then ready to use.
