Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fluid sample dispenser, particularly but not exclusively for cosmetic substances.
  • Known dispensers comprise a cylinder which defines a chamber intended to receive said substance.
  • the cylinder is closed at a first end by a piston adapted to slide inside said cylinder and at a second end by a cap.
  • the cap is rotatable relative to the cylinder between an open position and a closed position.
  • Said dispenser has locking means to prevent the piston from being accidentally depressed into said cylinder, which could expel said substance out of said chamber if the cap was inadvertently in an open position.
  • Such a dispenser is described in particular in the document FR 2 826 245.
  • the second end of the cylinder has at least one upper wall portion perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder in which is formed an orifice located outside the axis of rotation of the cap and the cap has a suitable wall portion to come to bear against said orifice to close it, said wall portion having a bore leading to the outside of said cap and adapted to cooperate with said orifice.
  • said cap is adapted to be rotated so as to make the bore coincide with said orifice to extract said fluid substance.
  • the cylinder comprises a removable skirt forming the locking means, said skirt extends around said piston to its base to prevent the piston is inadvertently drive into the cylinder.
  • the locking means do not allow to prevent the cap is driven into said open position, at least before a first use, nor to completely avoid the depression of the piston which can be operated easily under the skirt.
  • An object of the present invention is then to provide a sample dispenser which allows, before a first use, both to lock the cap in the closed position, but also to prevent the relative movement of the piston and said cylinder.
  • the present invention proposes a sample dispenser for a fluid substance, in particular for cosmetic substances, said dispenser comprising a cylinder which defines a chamber intended to receive said substance and which is closed at a first end by a piston adapted to slide in said cylinder and at a second end by a cap, rotatable between an open position and a closed position, said dispenser having locking means;
  • said cap comprises a skirt adapted to be applied against the wall of said cylinder, said skirt having a first radial slot intended to cooperate with a second radial slot formed in said second end of said cylinder in said open position for said chamber to open towards the outside
  • said locking means comprise a tubular member adapted to maintain said cap in said closed position and to lock it in translation relative to said piston, said tubular member having a breakable portion for releasing said cap of said tubular member.
  • an advantageous characteristic of the invention lies in the mode of immobilization of said cap relative to said piston before a first use by a tubular member of which a portion is breakable. In this way, before said breakable part was removed, the cap and the piston could not be driven towards each other and the piston could not be driven into the cylinder. We are absolutely sure that the distributor has not been used yet.
  • said tubular member and said cylinder have means for locking in rotation, one with respect to the other and said tubular member and said cap are integral with each other in rotation so as to lock in rotation said cap relative to said cylinder in said closed position.
  • said piston locked in translation relative to the cylinder and the fluid composition it contains could not be ejected, but also, said fluid composition has necessarily been substantially hermetically protected before said breakable part n ' has been removed.
  • the cap and the piston are released from each other and the cap is rotatable in an open position where the two radial slots are arranged facing one another. the other. Then, driving said cap towards the piston makes it possible to force it into the chamber and to expel at least a part of the liquid substance that it contains through the radial slots so that said liquid substance flows laterally outside the distributor. .
  • the radial slots make it possible to shorten the path of passage of the liquid substance between the chamber and the outside with respect to the devices of the prior art.
  • the cap has a nozzle for channeling the liquid substance.
  • said tubular member has a portion of body integral with said breakable portion, said piston being held in translation in said body portion, spaced from its internal wall so as to leave a cylindrical free space between said piston and said inner wall, wherein said cylinder is receivable.
  • translational drive of said cap to said body portion causes relative movement of said piston in said cylinder while said cylinder is driven into said cylindrical free space.
  • said first end of said cylinder comprises a flange having a radial groove capable of being driven into said cylindrical free space and in that said body portion has an internal longitudinal rib adapted to being engaged in said radial groove to form said locking means in rotation of said cylinder with respect to said tubular member.
  • the cylinder being rotatably connected with the body portion which itself is adapted to be connected to the cap by said breakable portion, said cap is adapted to be held in closed position relative to said cylinder. Further, after said breakable portion has been removed the cap is rotatable by holding the body portion in a fixed position without the cylinder being also rotated by the frictional forces appearing between the cap and the cylinder.
  • said body portion has internal retaining means against which said flange is adapted to abut in order to lock in translation said cylinder with respect to said piston in opposite directions. one of the other.
  • the end of said piston opposite said cylinder is extended by a concentric sleeve which surrounds said piston, the inner surface of said sleeve being remote from the outer surface of said piston so as to form a concentric tubular space adapted to receive said cylinder, and said sleeve is adapted to be housed in a first cylindrical portion of said free space, against said inner wall of said body portion, said concentric space coinciding with a second cylindrical portion of said free space in which said cylinder is adapted to be driven.
  • this feature has advantages for mounting the dispenser according to the invention and allows a stiffening of the assembly.
  • the end of said piston adapted to slide in said cylinder comprises a flared circular sealing lip adapted to bear against the inner wall of said cylinder.
  • the internal pressure of the chamber tends to press said lip against the inner wall of the cylinder, which increases the seal between the piston and the cylinder during the ejection of the fluid substance.
  • said second end of said cylinder has a cross-section portion smaller than that of said cylinder to form an internal shoulder and in that said skirt intended to be applied against the inner wall said cylinder, comprises a peripheral ring projecting from the surface of said skirt and adapted to bear against said shoulder for locking said cap in translation relative to said cylinder.
  • said peripheral ring is interrupted to form two free ends of stop
  • said internal shoulder comprises a stop extending in the vicinity of the surface of said skirt between said two free stop ends for limiting in rotation the stroke of said cap relative to said cylinder between said closed position in which one of the free stop ends bears against a face of said stop and said open position in which the another of said free stop ends bears against the opposite face of said stop.
  • tubular member and its body portion provided with said inner longitudinal rib and said cap are adapted to be molded in one piece of plastics, which makes it possible to obtain a dispenser at a very advantageous cost.
  • piston and its concentric sleeve are also molded in one piece and the cylinder. In this way, with only three distinct parts easy to produce by molding, it is possible to make the dispenser according to the invention.
  • FIG 1 illustrates a dispenser according to the invention in an external rear view in a first locked state indicating that it has not yet been actuated.
  • Said dispenser generally has a cylindrical envelope of symmetry and appears in Figure 1 as shown, a tubular member 10 consisting of a body portion 12 and a breakable portion 14 which connects the body portion 12 to a cap 16 partially surrounding a cylinder 18, here three quarters of the circumference of the cylinder 18.
  • Figure 3 shows the body portion 12 extended by the breakable portion 14 which together form the tubular member 10, and the cap 16 which overcomes the breakable portion 14 and closes an upper end 20 of the cylinder 18.
  • the latter defines a chamber 21 which is likely to contain a fluid substance, as will be explained in the following description.
  • the cap 16, the breakable portion 14 and the body portion 12 form a single piece which has a first annular constriction 22 and a second annular constriction 24, delimiting the three pieces; these annular constrictions 22, 24 constituting thinned wall portions allowing later tearing the breakable portion 14 and completely separate it from the cap and the body portion 12, as will be explained in more detail in the following description.
  • piston member 26 in this Figure 3 in section there is a piston member 26 consisting of a piston portion 28 which is partially engaged in a lower end 30 of the chamber 21, and a concentric sleeve 31 which extends said portion of piston 28 surrounding it; the piece 26 thus having a radial section U.
  • the piston portion 21 seals the lower end 30 of the chamber in a sealed manner with a flared circular lip 32 which bears against the inner wall 34 of the chamber 21. Furthermore, the end of said piston portion 28 opposite said cylinder 18 forms a bottom 36 to which is connected the concentric sleeve 31 which surrounds said piston. The concentric sleeve 31 is spaced from the piston portion 28 to form a concentric space 38 and is pressed against an inner wall 40 of the body portion 12, the bottom 36 flush with an open end 42 of the body portion 12.
  • the body portion 12 forms a cylinder of revolution in which said piece 26 and the concentric sleeve 31 extends between the open end 42 and an upper end 44.
  • This upper end 44 is tightened against the outer wall 45 of the cylinder 14 forming an internal shoulder 46 against which the edge of the concentric sleeve 31 bears.
  • This upper end 44 tightened is extended by the breakable portion 14 which it is distinct thanks to the first annular throat 22.
  • the cylinder 18 is meanwhile retained in translation in a direction opposite to the piston portion 28, in the upper end 44 tightened by a flange 48 projecting in the vicinity of the lower end 30 and which bears against the shoulder 46.
  • the diameter of the flange 48 is smaller than the diameter of the concentric sleeve 31, firstly to fully rest against the shoulder 46 adjacent the edge of the concentric sleeve 31 and secondly to be driven in translation in the concentric space 38 with the cylinder 18 without frictional stress, as will be explained in the following description.
  • FIG. 3 shows a longitudinal rib 50 extending from the shoulder 46, directly above the outer wall 45 of the cylinder in the concentric space 38 against the concentric sleeve 31 and to the bottom 36.
  • Figure 5 which shows a bottom view of the object shown in Figure 3 freed from the piece 26, there is the longitudinal rib 50 and the shoulder 46 from which it extends freely. Furthermore, the flange 48 of the cylinder 18 has a groove 52 in which is engaged the longitudinal rib 50. In this way, the cylinder 18 is kept rotated and thus indexed relative to the body portion 12. In contrast, the cylinder 18 is adapted to slide in the concentric space 38, the longitudinal rib engaged in the groove 52 being intended to guide it in translation over the entire stroke of its displacement.
  • the upper end 54 of the cylinder 18, opposite the lower end 30, forms a recess with respect to the cylinder 18 defining an internal shoulder 56 and an external shoulder 58.
  • the cap 16 has a suitable inner skirt 60 to be applied against the inner wall of the upper end 54, the free edge of the inner skirt having a peripheral ring 62 projecting and resting on the shoulder 56 intended to block the cap 16 in translation relative to the cylinder 18 .
  • the cap 16 has an upper wall 64 to which is connected the inner skirt 60 and which extends radially around the inner skirt beyond the free edge of the upper end 54 of the cylinder 18.
  • An outer skirt 66 concentric with the inner skirt 60, extends from the upper wall 64 against the outer wall of the upper end 54 to the outer shoulder 58.
  • the upper end 54 extends in said space between the two skirts and closes a first radial slot 70 appearing in section.
  • the inner shoulder 56 has a stop 76 which extends in the extension of the inner wall of the inner skirt 54 towards the lower end 30 of the chamber 21, against the two opposite faces of which the two free stop ends 72, 74 are respectively likely to bear.
  • this is possible insofar as the cap 16 is rotatable relative to the cylinder 16 as will be explained below.
  • Figure 2 shows the dispenser according to the invention in axial section, shifted 90 ° in rotation relative to the representation of Figure 3, in the trigonometric direction seen from above.
  • cap 16 whose distributor nozzle is oriented towards the rear and the inner skirt 60 in which is formed the radial slot 70.
  • the stop 76 projecting from the shoulder 56.
  • this Figure 2 illustrates a second radial slot 78 which is formed in the upper end 54 of the cylinder 18 from its free edge.
  • This second radial slot is completely closed by the walls of the two skirts, internal 60 and external 66; and it will be noted that the radial slots 70, 78 are shifted by 90 ° relative to one another.
  • the body portion 12, the breakable portion 14 and the cap 16 are molded in one piece of plastic, and the cylinder 18 is then fitted into the tubular member 10, the upper end 54 embedded in the cap 16, as shown in Figure 2.
  • the chamber 21 delimited by the cylinder 16 can be filled with a fluid substance, for example a cosmetic substance, and then closed at its lower end 30 by means of the piston portion 28 by engaging the piece 26. in the body portion 12 from the open end 42.
  • the piece 26 is held in a fixed position in the body portion 12 through an inner peripheral ring 80 bordering the open end 42 against which the bottom 36 abuts.
  • the cap 16 is free relative to the body portion 12 and thus partially free in rotation with respect to the cylinder 18.
  • the rotation of the cap 16 is indeed limited by the stop 76 and the free ends stop 72 74.
  • the stop free end 74 abuts against the stop 76 in a closed position as it appears in FIG. 3.
  • the cap 16 is held in a fixed position and the body part 12 is rotated by 90 ° in rotation in the counterclockwise direction in a view from below, which consequently causes the cylinder 18 thanks to the cooperation of the longitudinal rib 50 and the groove 52 of the collar 48, and positions the second radial slot 78 opposite the first radial slot 70.
