Definitions

  • the invention relates to a push button for a liquid distribution system, as well as such a dispensing system.
  • the dispensing system is intended to equip bottles used in perfumery, in cosmetics or for pharmaceutical treatments.
  • this type of bottle contains a liquid which is returned by a dispensing system comprising a pump or a manually operated valve by means of a push button to allow the spraying of the liquid.
  • the document FR-2 915 470 discloses a push button comprising a female element and a male element closely received in said female element according to a distribution interface and delimiting with said female element a chamber intended to be supplied with fluid to be dispensed, the distribution interface being defined by a inner surface of the female member and an outer surface of the male member, said push button further comprising a plurality of passages disposed in the dispensing interface and through which the chamber opens outwardly, the inner surface and the outer surface described above being in contact between two consecutive passages.
  • the document US-3,568,933 discloses a nozzle for spraying a particulate liquid, said nozzle comprising a plurality of converging jet-forming passages for conducting the flow of said liquid, a cavity being formed at the convergence of said passages.
  • the document GB-1,253,221 discloses nozzles for impinging a liquid stream into an aerosol, especially such nozzles for use in combination with controlled product dispensing devices which are mounted on a product's packaging bottles such as aerosol flasks.
  • the document JP-2005/219031 discloses an aerosol jet nozzle which can be manufactured by a simple manufacturing technique, without requiring advanced manufacturing technique, the constitution of which can be simplified and in which product streams projected in aerosol form from ejection ports can safely collide with each other, so that the pressure necessary to propel / diffuse the aerosol product can be lowered.
  • Such push buttons are conventionally made in two parts: an actuating body and a liquid spray nozzle which are associated with each other to form the push button.
  • the spray nozzle may be arranged to form an aerosol with the liquid, in particular by defining a so-called vortex chamber.
  • the vortex chamber is arranged to rotate very quickly the liquid to give it speed.
  • the swirl chamber is extended at its center by a dispensing orifice, the liquid can escape at high speed by splitting into fine droplets forming the aerosol.
  • the aerosol is composed of droplets of very different sizes.
  • the aerosol is commonly constituted by droplets of diameter between 5 ⁇ m and 300 ⁇ m.
  • the large droplets are heavier than the smaller ones and follow a different distribution path, which can cause indelible stains in the case of perfumes.
  • the small droplets are the lightest and can be inhaled, which can be the goal sought in the case of drugs, but this can be an adverse effect in the case of toxic products.
  • the place of application for example within the respiratory system, depends on the size of the droplets, and the large disparity in size distorts the treatment.
  • the size of the droplets from a vortex chamber depends in part on the force and speed with which the user actuates the pump pressing the push button with his finger, because the induced pressure depends on it.
  • the aerosol tends to be hollow with a substantially conical envelope which consists of the majority of the droplets while there is little to inside the cone.
  • this distribution of droplets can be harmful for dermal applications.
  • the document FR-2 903 328 proposes to use a non-swirling nozzle which is equipped with a micro-grid to ensure the calibration and the spatial distribution of the droplets.
  • the push button comprises a body 1 in which a distribution path is formed.
  • the body 1 has an annular skirt 2 that surrounds a housing 3 mounting the push button on the dispensing system.
  • the push button comprises an upper zone 4 allowing the user to exert a digital support on said push button in order to move it axially.
  • the distribution chamber 18 also comprises an upstream annular duct 24 which is in communication with the downstream channel 16 of the distribution path.
  • the female geometry thus formed thus comprises four faces 21 on which the male geometry comes into tight abutment, said faces being connected by edges 22 along each of which a convergent channel 19 is formed and on each of which an opening 35 opens.
