Definitions
- This invention relates to a diffuser cover for actuating a valve spray mounted in cooperation with a container containing a spray.
- diffuser covers which are suitable for mounting in cooperation with containers or the like containing a product under pressure and comprising a controllable spray valve for spraying the product they contain.
- These diffuser covers generally include a skirt to mount them on the containers, for example in cooperation with a groove or a collar formed on the periphery of the container and generally surrounding the valve spray which is essentially in the form of a part cylindrical, the outlet of which is at the top of this part.
- Such a diffuser cover is also mounted movable relative to the skirt for allow actuation of the spray valve by pressing for example on its upper end.
- it can be in the form of a hollow sleeve to port the outlet of the spray valve with a diffusing outlet nozzle associated with the diffusing cover at the outlet of which the product contained in the container is then vaporized.
- Diffusing hoods which are known are mostly made of plastic or the like, by molding. This well known technique is however relatively expensive because it involves the realization and use of a large number of molds, given the considerable number of types of diffuser covers necessary to adapt to the numerous containers of products to spray that are on the market.
- the shape of these diffusers can also differ depending on their area of use, for example domestic or industrial.
- the present invention therefore aims to achieve a diffuser cover whose structure considerably reduces the number of molds required for produce the full range of diffuser covers necessary to meet the market, in relation to the number of molds required to make all the covers diffusers of the prior art.
- the subject of the present invention is a diffuser cover for a container. having a spray valve, comprising a skirt capable of being mounted on the container, a trigger element of said spray valve mounted so that it can move in an axial direction relative to said skirt so actuate said spray valve, and an intermediate peripheral wall of connection between the triggering element and the skirt, characterized in that said intermediate peripheral wall has a first wall portion on which the trip element is mounted on the move and a second part of wall integral with the skirt, said two wall parts being adapted to associate with each other.
- one of the two wall parts is located inside each other.
- one of the two wall parts are plugged into each other by friction.
- a projecting rim on one of the two wall parts is located in a complementary groove made in the other part of the wall.
- one of the two wall parts has a shoulder against which the other part abuts wall, to prevent relative movement of the two said wall portions in said axial direction.
- said first part of wall consists of an internal sleeve whose axis is substantially merged with said axial direction, said second wall portion being constituted by an external sleeve of the same axis as the internal sleeve, the internal sleeve being fitted into contact in the external sleeve.
- the element of trigger and said first wall portion are made in one piece.
- the element of trigger and said first wall portion are connected by at least one tab flexible allowing movement of the trigger element relative to the first part of the wall.
- the element of trigger and said first wall portion are connected by a hinge integral.
- the element of trigger and said first wall portion are connected by at least one bridge connection having a point of weakness which is liable to break when the trigger element is moved relative to the first wall portion for the first time.
- the two said wall parts are fixed together by gluing or welding.
- the present invention also relates to a modular system of hoods diffusers comprising a plurality of different trigger units and a plurality of different skirt units, each trigger unit being able to be mounted in cooperation with each skirt unit to form a hood diffuser having at least one of the characteristics defined above, each unit device comprising a trigger element and a first part wall, each skirt unit comprising a second wall part and a skirt, modular system in which the first wall part of all the different trigger units adapts to the second wall portion of all different skirt units.
- the diffuser cover illustrated in Figure 1 is intended to be mounted on a conventional cylindrical container illustrated schematically in dotted lines and referenced R.
- This container R has for example a peripheral flange surrounding a curved wall or the like at its upper end on which is mounted a spray valve schematically shown in V.
- such a spray valve is capable of being actuated by a trigger, such as a hollow tube 7 located upwards by reference to Figures 1 to 3, along an axis 1 and which can press on the end of this valve to change it from its closed state to its open state allowing the product under pressure in container R to escape.
- a trigger such as a hollow tube 7 located upwards by reference to Figures 1 to 3, along an axis 1 and which can press on the end of this valve to change it from its closed state to its open state allowing the product under pressure in container R to escape.
- the diffuser cover object of the present invention, comprises a skirt 2 capable of be mounted by fitting on the upper end of container R.
- the skirt 2 is essentially of cylindrical shape of revolution and may include a series of interior hooks 3 or the like, for example a annular bead or bead portions, which can be embedded with precision on or below or in the flange of the container, depending on its shape.
- This skirt 2 also advantageously comprises, essentially at its upper part, stiffening ribs 4 substantially contained in planes passing through axis 1.
- the diffuser cover also includes, as mentioned above, an element trigger 6 on which it is possible to exert a pressing force to for example deform or move it to control the spray valve V.
- the trigger element 6 comprises advantageously a hollow tube 7 having a flared lower end 8 for define, with the hollow tube 7, a shoulder 10 capable of coming to bear, by example, on the upper end of valve V so that when the end valve V is depressed by the displacement of the hollow tube 7 during a deformation or displacement pressure exerted on the element of trigger 6, the product contained in the container R is ejected at the outlet of this valve V.
- the hollow tube 7 also makes it possible to conduct the product to be sprayed delivered at the outlet of valve V to a diffusing ejection nozzle 9 forming part integral of the trigger element 6.
- the intermediate wall 11 has a first wall portion made up an internal sleeve 12 whose axis is substantially coincident with axis 1, on which the trigger element 6 is movably mounted, and a second part of wall constituted by an external sleeve 13 which is integral with the skirt 2 and of which the axis is substantially coincident with the axis of the internal sleeve 12.
- the triggering element 6 and the internal sleeve 12 are made of single piece, for example by molding a plastic material such as polypropylene, this assembly constituted by the trigger element 6 and the internal sleeve 12 associated therewith being designated hereinafter by the term "unit trigger 14 ".
- skirt 2 and the external sleeve 13 are also advantageously made in one piece, for example by molding a plastic material such as polypropylene, this part being designated below under the term “unit of skirt 16 ".
- the internal sleeve 12 is inserted in force, for example by friction, in the outer sleeve 13 which covers it advantageously completely in the axial direction defined by the axis 1.
- This internal sleeve 12 has for example a projecting rim 18 which is in position radial towards the outside and which is able to cooperate with a groove 19 produced in the outer sleeve 13 in order to define the position of the two sleeves 12 and 13, one compared to each other.
- one of the two wall parts 12, 13, in fact the second wall portion 13 in the example illustrated, has a shoulder 17 against which the other wall part abuts, in this case the first part of wall 12, to prevent relative movement of the two said wall parts 12, 13 in the axial direction 1 when a pressing force axial is exerted on the trigger unit 14 relative to the skirt unit 16.
- the two sleeves 12 and 13 are force-fitted one in the other.
- the sleeves 12, 13, the projecting rim 18, the shoulder 17 and the groove 19 are of continuous peripheral shape around axis 1, but it is well obvious that they can also be discontinuous.
- the trigger element 6 and the sleeve interior 12 are advantageously connected by a flexible part 21 to constitute an integral hinge 22 which allows the trigger element 6 to be move down relative to the skirt unit 16, in order to control the opening of the spray valve V as described above.
- the trigger element 6 and the first wall portion 12 are connected by at least one flexible connection bridge instead of the integral hinge or the flexible part 21 comprising a point of weakness which is apt to break when trigger 6 is moved relative to the first wall portion 12 for the first time, for example pressed during the first command to open the spray valve V.
- the trigger unit 14 and the skirt unit 16 are fitted into each other by friction, essentially by the mutual engagement of the two sleeves 12, 13 to form an interface plane junction 23.
- the sleeves can be fixed together by any suitable means, for example by gluing, welding or the like (by example thermal welding or ultrasonic welding).
- Figure 3 shows another embodiment of a diffuser cover according to the invention which is similar to the embodiment shown in Figures 1 and 2.
- the trigger unit 14 is substantially identical to that of the cap diffuser according to Figures 1 and 2, although the dimensions of the ejection nozzle 9 may differ to suit a different liquid product or to produce a different spray pattern.
- the skirt 2 has a greater height and a smaller diameter than the skirt 2 shown in Figure 1.
- the two diffuser covers according to the figures 1 and 2, and FIG. 3, comprise substantially identical sleeves 12, 13, of so that the two interface planes 23 are identical.
- a modular hood system diffusers comprising a plurality of different trigger units 14 and a plurality of different skirt units 16, each trigger unit 14 being able to be mounted in cooperation with each skirt unit 16 to form a diffuser cover as described above.
- Each trigger unit 14 has a trigger element 6 and a first wall portion 12, like that defined above, and each unit skirt 16 has a second wall portion 13 and a skirt 2.
- the first wall part of all the different trigger units 14 adapts to the second wall part of all the different skirt units 16, thereby reducing the cost of such a modular system of diffusing hoods.
