Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the dispensing devices of a fluid product, and in particular but not exclusively, dispensing devices of a cosmetic product.
  • Cosmetic product means a product as defined in Council Directive 93/35 / EEC of 14 June 1993, amending for the sixth time Directive 76/768 / EEC.
  • the invention relates to a dispensing head of the type comprising a body with a dispensing orifice, a push button and a shutter movable relative to the dispensing orifice.
  • the shutter is in the form of a needle provided, in its closed position, to isolate the dispensing orifice of the inner channel or channels through which or the product flows in the dispensing head.
  • a dispensing head of this type is known for example from the documents FR 2,767,798 , FR 2 772 010 and WO03 / 026983 .
  • the push-button and the shutter have surfaces capable of coming into contact with one another and are shaped in such a way that the depression of the push-button is accompanied by a displacement of the pushbutton. shutter to disengage it from the dispensing orifice. With such a configuration, it is necessary to perfectly adjust the surfaces that cooperate with each other to ensure the displacement of the desired shutter. Return means are further provided to return the shutter to the closed position when the push button is released.
  • the document EP 0 670 275 also discloses a dispensing head having a push button and a shutter movable relative to the dispensing orifice.
  • the push button is provided with a fork for pushing one end of the shutter away from the dispensing orifice when the push button is actuated. Again, the structure of this head is relatively complicated.
  • the document WO2004 / 000066 d writes an assembly according to the preamble of claim 1, comprising a dispensing head of a product which comprises a nozzle defining a conduit adapted to communicate with the interior of a container via a valve stem.
  • the duct is delimited by a tubular wall open at a first end to form a dispensing orifice and closed at a second end from which extends a central core to the first end of the tubular wall.
  • the valve stem is not actuated, the dispensing orifice is closed by the central core.
  • the tubular wall has an elastically deformable portion which, when the valve stem is actuated and the product from the container circulates in the closed conduit, is stretched under the pressure of the product so as to back the rear portion of the tubular wall and the central soul.
  • the central core thus deviates from the dispensing orifice so as to disengage it and allow the outlet of the product through the orifice.
  • the elastically deformable portion returns to its initial position thanks to its elasticity when the valve stem is no longer actuated.
  • the invention meets this need with a dispensing head according to claim 1.
  • the shutter Thanks to the presence of the shutter, it is avoided that the product contained inside the dispensing head is degraded by contact with the air during prolonged storage or does not dry and clog the inner channel or channels.
  • dispensing products in the form of self-foaming gel it avoids the expansion of the foam product at the outlet of the orifice while the dispenser member is no longer actuated.
  • the second end of the shutter can be a hemispherical surface. Such a shape allows the shutter to move away from the ferrule when it has a tilting movement relative to the ferrule.
  • the second end of the shutter can have any other shape that allows it to deviate from the hoop, this shape being chosen according to the shape of the portion of the hoop located opposite this end and depending on the type of movement of the shutter relative to the hoop, namely a movement of depression or failover.
  • the hoop may comprise a ramp located, especially when the shutter is in the second position, facing the second end of the shutter.
  • the ramp makes it possible to gradually return the shutter to its closed position.
  • the duct may be delimited by an elongate tip along an axis X, the dispensing orifice may then be formed at a first end of the nozzle.
  • the tip may include a mounting skirt for engaging on the dispensing member so as to communicate the interior of the container with the dispensing orifice.
  • the tip may comprise a Y-axis mounting shaft adapted to be fixed on the body so as to allow the pivoting of the tip relative to the hoop about the Y axis, the Y axis may be perpendicular to the y-axis.
  • X axis X axis.
  • the tip may comprise an elastic return tongue intended to bear resiliently on the inner wall of the hoop in order to limit the tilting of the tip relative to the hoop, especially before it is placed on the recipient.
  • the shutter can be elongated in the form of a needle.
  • the first end of the shutter may have a shape complementary to the shape of the orifice so as to seal it sealingly.
  • the actuating element may comprise a lug adapted to bear on the tip so that the thrust exerted by the user on the actuating element is transmitted to the dispenser member via the nozzle.
  • the hoop may comprise hooking means on the container which allow the reversible attachment or not the head on the container.
  • the hoop and the actuating element can be made monolithically.
  • the dispensing member may be a valve, the mounting skirt of the nozzle can then be fitted on a valve stem of the valve.
  • the valve may be of the trigger type by depressing the valve stem.
  • the valve may be of the type triggered by tilting of the valve stem.
  • the invention is particularly useful for the packaging and dispensing of a cosmetic or care product, for example a styling mousse.
  • the packaging and distribution package illustrated on the Figures 1 to 6 is formed of a pressurized container 60 on which is fixed a dispensing head 10 according to the invention.

  • the container 60 is formed by a pressurized can, formed by a cylindrical body 61 of revolution, whose upper end is closed by a cup 62 set on a rolled edge of the container.
  • the cup 62 is provided with a valve which comprises a hollow valve stem 63 and which can be actuated for example by tilting of the valve stem. It is obvious that one can alternatively use a valve that can be actuated by depressing the valve stem.

  • the circular wall 33 extends in the circular opening 24 of the body so that a space is formed between the rim 23 of the body and the circular wall 33, the space being large enough to allow the element of actuation to move relative to the hoop but small enough to prevent fouling of the inside of the head.
  • the wall 33 may have any other shape than circular, its shape depending in particular on that of the opening formed in the hoop.
  • ribs 34 are advantageously provided to form a Finger grip area helps prevent fingers from sliding. It is not beyond the scope of the invention to provide any other roughness on the support surface to prevent the fingers from sliding.
