Description

La présente invention concerne un distributeur de produits chimiquement instables qui résultent du mélange d'au moins deux composants liquides.The present invention relates to a product distributor chemically unstable resulting from the mixture of at least two liquid components.

De tels produits instables dans le temps se rencontrent notamment dans les domaines pharmaceutique et cosmétique où ils sont qualifiés de préparations extemporanées qu'il n'est pas possible de stocker ou de conditionner sous leur forme applicative.Such unstable products meet over time especially in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic fields where they are qualified as extemporaneous preparations which it is not possible to store or package in their application form.

Ainsi de manière traditionnelle, les composants sont conditionnés séparément dans des réservoirs indépendants d'où ils sont prélevés et dosés avant d'être mélangés sur le lieu d'application pour former le produit final. Un tel distributeur est, par exemple, décrit dans le document US-A-4 773 562.So in a traditional way, the components are packaged separately in independent tanks from where they are sampled and dosed before being mixed at the place of application to form the final product. Such a dispenser is, for example, described in the document US-A-4,773,562.

Cependant, cette disposition n'est pas ergonomique et n'offre pas un mode d'utilisation souple et pratique.However, this arrangement is not ergonomic and does not offer not a flexible and practical mode of use.

En outre, tant le dosage équilibré que le mélange homogène des composants sont difficiles à obtenir, du fait que leurs organes de prélèvement respectifs sont indépendants.In addition, both the balanced dosage and the homogeneous mixture of components are difficult to obtain, because their respective levies are independent.

La présente invention a pour but de résoudre ces problèmes techniques de manière satisfaisante.The object of the present invention is to solve these problems techniques satisfactorily.

Ce but est atteint selon l'invention, au moyen d'un distributeur, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend un boítier externe renfermant au moins deux compartiments hermétiques contenant chacun un composant liquide ou pâteux, et pourvus d'organes de prélèvement susceptibles d'être actionnés simultanément et conjointement par un bouton-poussoir unique et de débiter dans des conduits d'évacuation séparés ménagés à l'intérieur dudit bouton-poussoir et débouchant à l'extérieur par au moins un orifice d'éjection.This object is achieved according to the invention, by means of a distributor, characterized in that it comprises an external housing containing at least two sealed compartments each containing a component liquid or pasty, and provided with capable sampling organs to be operated simultaneously and jointly by a single push button and flow into exhaust ducts separated inside of said push button and opening out the exterior by at least one ejection orifice.

Selon une caractéristique avantageuse, chacun desdits compartiments est délimité, transversalement, par le fond du boítier externe et par une douille interne de support de l'organe de prélèvement et, latéralement, par la paroi d'un élément tubulaire interne dont les extrémités sont fixées de façon étanche respectivement à ladite douille et au fond dudit boítier.According to an advantageous characteristic, each of said compartments is delimited, transversely, by the bottom of the case external and by an internal socket for supporting the removal member and, laterally, by the wall of an internal tubular element whose ends are tightly fixed respectively to said socket and at the bottom of said housing.

Selon une autre caractéristique, les éléments tubulaires de chaque compartiment sont réunis par une cloison mitoyenne. According to another characteristic, the tubular elements of each compartment is joined by a dividing partition.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation spécifique, la paroi de l'élément tubulaire interne forme une chemise au moins partiellement en contact avec la paroi du boítier externe.According to another specific embodiment, the wall of the internal tubular element forms a jacket at least partially in contact with the wall of the external housing.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation, la paroi de l'élément tubulaire interne est pourvue d'un épaulement transversal permettant la fixation à distance de la paroi du boítier externe.According to another embodiment, the wall of the element internal tubular is provided with a transverse shoulder allowing the remote fixing of the wall of the external housing.

Selon encore une autre caractéristique, l'élément tubulaire possède un col destiné à recevoir la douille interne de support d'un organe de prélèvement.According to yet another characteristic, the tubular element has a neck intended to receive the internal support sleeve of a removal organ.

De préférence, les éléments tubulaires de chaque compartiment sont logés dans un carter unique.Preferably, the tubular elements of each compartment are housed in a single housing.

Selon une variante particulière, lesdits conduits d'évacuation débouchent à l'extérieur via une portion terminale commune.According to a particular variant, said evacuation conduits lead to the outside via a common terminal portion.

Selon une autre caractéristique, l'orifice d'éjection est réalisé sur un bossage en saillie sur la face latérale du bouton-poussoir.According to another characteristic, the ejection orifice is produced on a protruding boss on the lateral face of the push button.

Le distributeur de l'invention peut être utilisé avec des organes de prélèvement sous forme de pompe et/ou de valve et sans qu'il soit nécessaire de prévoir des joints d'étanchéité.The dispenser of the invention can be used with organs sampling in the form of a pump and / or valve and without it being necessary to provide seals.

Les conduits d'évacuation des composants et, le cas échéant, leur orifice d'éjection étant séparés, il ne peut se produire de mélange à l'intérieur du distributeur, ce qui réduit les risques de colmatage et de dégradation du produit.Component exhaust pipes and, if applicable, their ejection orifice being separated, there can be no mixing with inside the dispenser, which reduces the risk of clogging and product degradation.

Par ailleurs, le dosage des composants est effectué de façon simple, en adaptant la capacité respective des moyens de prélèvement au rapport pondéral de chacun de ces composants dans le produit final.In addition, the dosage of the components is carried out so simple, by adapting the respective capacity of the sampling means the weight ratio of each of these components in the final product.

Le distributeur de l'invention permet de disposer avec un conditionnement unique, réalisable en diverses contenances, d'un moyen simple, fiable et efficace de restitution d'un produit instable bi ou plus généralement multicomposants.The dispenser of the invention allows to have with a unique packaging, available in various capacities, of a simple, reliable and efficient means of restoring an unstable bi product or more generally multicomponents.

Le distributeur de l'invention peut être fabriqué industriellement de façon simple, rapide et économique, par exemple, en effectuant un moulage par injection de polypropylène.The dispenser of the invention can be manufactured industrially simply, quickly and economically, for example, by performing a polypropylene injection molding.

Le distributeur représenté sur les figures est destiné à conditionner et à restituer des composants liquides et/ou pâteux susceptibles de former, par mélange, un produit chimiquement instable qualifié de préparation extemporanée.The distributor shown in the figures is intended for condition and restore liquid and / or pasty components likely to form, by mixing, a chemically unstable product qualified as extemporaneous preparation.

Ce distributeur comprend comme représenté sur les figures 1A et 2A, un boítier externe 1 renfermant au moins deux, et ici, exactement deux compartiments hermétiques 11,12 contenant chacun un volume donné d'un composant liquide déterminé.This dispenser comprises as shown in Figures 1A and 2A, an external box 1 containing at least two, and here, exactly two sealed compartments 11,12 each containing a volume given of a specific liquid component.

Chaque compartiment 11,12 est pourvu d'un organe de prélèvement 2 du composant qui y est contenu.Each compartment 11,12 is provided with a sample 2 of the component contained therein.

Les organes de prélèvement 2 sont ici constitués de pompes 21,22 mais selon des variantes de réalisation dans lesquelles les compartiments seraient sous pression, ces organes seraient alors formés de valves.The sampling organs 2 here consist of pumps 21,22 but according to variant embodiments in which the compartments would be under pressure, these organs would then be formed valves.

Les organes de prélèvement 2 sont susceptibles d'être actionnés simultanément et conjointement par un bouton-poussoir unique 3, réalisé en une seule pièce et coiffant ici les tubes gicleur 21a,22a respectifs des pompes 21,22.The sampling organs 2 are capable of being actuated simultaneously and jointly by a single push button 3, made in one piece and here covering the nozzle tubes 21a, 22a respective pumps 21.22.

L'appui sur le bouton-poussoir 3 provoque l'échappement des composants liquides de leur compartiment respectif et leur évacuation par des conduits séparés 31,32 débouchant à l'extérieur par au moins un et, de préférence, deux orifices d'éjection 31a,32a ménagés ici sur un bossage 30 en saillie sur la face latérale du bouton-poussoir 3.Pressing the push button 3 causes the liquid components of their respective compartment and their evacuation by separate conduits 31,32 opening to the outside by at least one and preferably two ejection orifices 31a, 32a formed here on a boss 30 projecting from the lateral face of the push button 3.

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté sur la figure 5A, les conduits d'évacuation 31,32 débouchent à l'extérieur, le cas échéant, via une portion terminale commune 33 participant au pré-mélange des composants.In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5A, the exhaust pipes 31,32 open to the outside, if necessary, via a common terminal portion 33 participating in the premixing of components.

Chacun des compartiments est délimité, transversalement, par le fond 10 du boítier 1 et par une douille interne 41,42 de support des organes de prélèvement et, latéralement, par la paroi d'un élément tubulaire interne 51,52. Les extrémités des éléments tubulaires sont fixées respectivement à la douille 41,42 et au fond 10 du boítier 1.Each of the compartments is delimited, transversely, by the bottom 10 of the housing 1 and by an internal socket 41,42 for supporting the sampling devices and, laterally, through the wall of an element internal tubular 51,52. The ends of the tubular elements are fixed respectively to the socket 41,42 and to the bottom 10 of the housing 1.

Les éléments tubulaires 51,52 associés à chacun des compartiments 11,12 sont tous deux logés dans un carter unique 5.The tubular elements 51, 52 associated with each of the compartments 11,12 are both housed in a single housing 5.

La liaison entre le fond 10 et le bord inférieur des éléments tubulaires est réalisée, de préférence, au moyen d'une soudure à plat (ultrasons...) assurant l'étanchéité entre les deux compartiments 11,12 qui sont séparés ici par une cloison mitoyenne unique 50 réunissant les deux éléments tubulaires 51,52.The connection between the bottom 10 and the lower edge of the elements tubular is made, preferably, by means of a flat weld (ultrasound ...) ensuring the seal between the two compartments 11,12 which are separated here by a single dividing wall 50 uniting the two tubular elements 51,52.

En cas d'utilisation d'organes de prélèvement "airless", les cloisons respectives des deux compartiments 11,12 seront accolées dans la partie centrale du distributeur.When using "airless" sampling devices, the respective partitions of the two compartments 11,12 will be joined in the central part of the dispenser.

La liaison entre les éléments tubulaires 51,52 et les douilles 41,42 est réalisée, dans les modes représentés sur les figures 2A et 3A, par emmanchement de portées en regard avec serrage radial étanche.The connection between the tubular elements 51, 52 and the sockets 41.42 is carried out, in the modes shown in FIGS. 2A and 3A, by fitting opposite seats with tight radial tightening.

A cet effet, les éléments tubulaires sont pourvus d'un col cylindrique 53 destiné à recevoir les douilles.For this purpose, the tubular elements are provided with a neck cylindrical 53 intended to receive the sockets.

Plus précisément, les douilles 41,42 possèdent une jupe périphérique 41a,42a destinée à s'emmancher extérieurement sur le col 53 et délimitant dans sa partie haute, une gorge intérieure 41b,42b également périphérique qui vient coiffer le rebord supérieur du col 53.More specifically, the sockets 41, 42 have a skirt peripheral 41a, 42a intended to be fitted externally on the neck 53 and delimiting in its upper part, an inner groove 41b, 42b also peripheral which covers the upper edge of the neck 53.

La jupe 41a,42a se prolonge par une collerette 41c,42c représentée respectivement sur les figures 2A, 3A selon deux variantes de réalisation distinctes, et destinée à emprisonner la partie supérieure du corps des pompes 21,22. The skirt 41a, 42a is extended by a collar 41c, 42c shown respectively in FIGS. 2A, 3A according to two variants separate embodiments, and intended to trap the upper part of the pump body 21.22.

Dans la variante de la figure 3B, les douilles 41,42 sont réalisées dans le prolongement des éléments tubulaires 51,52 et d'une seule pièce avec ces derniers.In the variant of FIG. 3B, the sockets 41, 42 are produced in the extension of the tubular elements 51.52 and in one piece with these.

Les douilles 41,42 délimitent ainsi directement dans leur partie supérieure des cols cylindriques 53 qui servent de support aux corps des pompes 21,22.The sockets 41,42 thus delimit directly in their part upper cylindrical necks 53 which support the bodies of pumps 21.22.

Dans le mode de réalisation des figures 2A et 3, la paroi des éléments tubulaires 51,52 forme sous le col 53 une chemise au moins partiellement en contact avec la paroi interne du boítier 1 en assurant, le cas échéant, un léger serrage radial.In the embodiment of FIGS. 2A and 3, the wall of the tubular elements 51.52 forms at least a shirt under the collar 53 partially in contact with the internal wall of the housing 1 ensuring, the if necessary, a slight radial tightening.

L'introduction des éléments tubulaires dans le boítier 1 s'effectue alors par coulissement axial.The introduction of the tubular elements into the housing 1 is then carried out by axial sliding.

Dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 4A, la paroi latérale des éléments tubulaires 51,52 se prolonge en partie haute par un épaulement transversal 54 s'étendant radialement vers l'extérieur pour venir au contact de la paroi interne du boítier 1 en formant entretoise de façon à permettre le positionnement et la fixation à distance de cette paroi.In the embodiment of FIG. 4A, the side wall of the tubular elements 51.52 is extended at the top by a shoulder transverse 54 extending radially outward to come to contact of the inner wall of the housing 1 forming a spacer so as to allow remote positioning and fixing of this wall.

Le bouton-poussoir 3 représenté sur les figures SA, 5B et 5C est réalisé ici sous forme d'un capot à l'intérieur duquel sont disposés des manchons 34 venant s'ajuster sur l'extrémité externe des tubes gicleurs des pompes 21,22 et communiquant latéralement avec les conduits d'évacuation 31,32.The push button 3 shown in Figures SA, 5B and 5C is produced here in the form of a cover inside which are arranged sleeves 34 fitting onto the outer end of the tubes pumps 21,22 and communicating laterally with the exhaust pipes 31.32.

La face supérieure du bouton poussoir 3 est pourvue d'une cavité 35 facilitant l'appui manuel.The upper face of the push button 3 is provided with a cavity 35 facilitating manual support.

La partie inférieure du bouton-poussoir 3 est engagée au repos, à l'intérieur de la partie supérieure du boítier 1 (comme représenté sur les figures 1, 2A, et 3B où elle se déplace lors de l'appui manuel actionnant les pompes 21,22 (voir figure 2B).The lower part of the push button 3 is engaged at rest, inside the upper part of case 1 (as shown in Figures 1, 2A, and 3B where it moves during manual support actuating the pumps 21,22 (see figure 2B).
