Definitions

  • the invention relates to a push button for a dispensing system for a pressurized liquid, as well as to 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 under pressure by a pump or a manually operated valve by means of a push button which is arranged to allow the spraying of the liquid.
  • 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.
  • this embodiment requires sections of passages through the micro-grid which are extremely small, in particular of the order of 6 microns in diameter, which imposes a fine filtration of the liquid to avoid clogging problems.
  • the difficulty of making and assembling in the body of these micro-grids remains high.
  • a pushbutton comprising a distribution chamber which is provided with channels converging each towards an outlet orifice, said convergent channels being arranged to allow impaction of the liquid jets distributed by said orifices.
  • Document is also known US-2003/0230641 , which discloses the preamble of claim 1, a nozzle assembly for a manually operated liquid product sprayer, said assembly comprising a housing and a flow control member contained in said housing, said housing having an elongate dispensing orifice product and a plurality of rupture channels extending radially from said orifice, said control member comprising a head having a conical surface engaged on the rupture channels for separating, in cooperation with said channels, a viscous liquid product stream in several streams intended to collide with each other at the inlet of the dispensing orifice, so that said product is dispensed through said orifice in the form of an aerosol.
  • the prior art proposes to equip the distribution chamber with an annular channel from which said convergent channels extend. This solution makes it possible to distribute the flows of liquid introduced into each channel but poses a certain number of problems.
  • the liquid introduced under pressure into the annular duct becomes turbulent, which does not make it possible to stabilize the liquid flows introduced into the convergent channels.
  • the speed of the flow of liquid introduced remains reduced, which, by limiting the impaction energy of the liquid jets distributed, does not allow the realization of an aerosol of optimum quality, particularly with regard to fineness, the calibration and the spatial distribution of the droplets composing it.
  • the supply of the convergent conduits according to the prior art does not allow fractionation of the dose of liquid to be dispensed, that is to say, to restore only a portion of the dose provided by the pump.
  • the support stroke of the push button is performed too rapidly, in particular of the order of 0.2 seconds per 100 .mu.l, to be interrupted by the user.
  • the invention aims to solve the problems of the prior art by proposing in particular a push button for the distribution of an aerosol formed droplets having improved calibration and spatial distribution, and this by increasing the production time of said aerosol.
  • the invention proposes a push button according to claim 1.
  • the invention proposes a system for dispensing a liquid under pressure, comprising a device for sampling under pressure of the liquid on which such a push button is mounted, the dispensing chamber being in communication with the tube of supplying the pressurized liquid from said sampling device so as to allow the liquid to be sprayed by impinging the jets from the distribution channels.
  • a push button 1 is described below for a system for dispensing a pressurized liquid, said liquid being of any kind, especially used in perfumery, in cosmetics or for pharmaceutical treatments.
  • the dispensing system also comprises a liquid-pressure sampling device 2 which is manually actuated by means of the push-button 1.
  • the sampling device 2 may comprise a pump or a valve in the case where the liquid is conditioned under pressure.
  • the push button 1 is mounted on a tube for supplying the pressurized liquid from the sampling device 2, the dispensing system being mounted on the neck of a bottle 3 containing the liquid so as to supply the push button 1 with said liquid under pressure.
  • the push button 1 comprises a body having an annular skirt 4 which surrounds a housing 5 mounting on the tube for supplying the liquid under pressure.
  • the push button 1 includes a zone upper 6 allowing the user to exert a digital support on said push button in order to move axially to actuate the sampling device 2.
  • the push button 1 also comprises a tip 7 which is mounted around an insert 8 so as to form a distribution chamber between said tip and said insert.
  • the body of the push button 1 has a housing 9 in which the insert 8 is arranged to allow lateral spraying of the liquid relative to the body of said push button.
  • the insert 8 may be integral with the body of the pushbutton 1 ( figure 3a ) or be returned in slot 9 ( figures 3b , 8 ). Furthermore, the outer wall of the nozzle 7 has an anchoring rod 7a in the wall of the housing 9 so as to allow the association of said tip in said housing.
  • the distribution chamber is in communication with a supply duct 10 whose upstream portion 10a opens into the mounting housing 5 on the tube for supplying the liquid under pressure.
  • the upstream portion 10a is coaxial with the housing 5 and the supply duct 10 has a downstream portion 10b which is perpendicular to said housing.
  • the downstream portion 10b may be of axis parallel to that of the upstream portion 10a.
  • the distribution chamber presents, successively in communication, upstream channels 11, downstream channels 12 and distribution channels 13.
  • the distribution channels 13 converge each towards an outlet orifice 14 being arranged to allow the impaction of the liquid jets distributed by said orifices.
  • the distribution channels 13 can converge at a point C at an angle of the order of 70 °, so as to produce the aerosol A in the immediate vicinity of the outlet orifices 14.

  • the inside diameter of the upstream bearing surface 17 is greater than the inside diameter of the downstream bearing surface 18.
  • upstream channels 11 extend longitudinally on the spans 15a, 16a forming respectively a section upstream and downstream of circulation of the fluid in the distribution chamber, said sections having a mean transverse surface which corresponds to the average of the transverse surfaces through which the fluid flows in the channels 11, 12.
  • the transversal surface of upstream and downstream sections correspond to the sum of the transverse surfaces of the respectively upstream and downstream channels 11 and 12 respectively.
  • the invention provides that the average cross-sectional area of the downstream section is smaller than the average cross-sectional area of the upstream section.
  • the duration of distribution of a dose of liquid over the operating stroke of the push button 1 is increased.
  • the duration of distribution for a dose of 100 ⁇ l can be between 0.5 and 2 seconds so as to allow the user to interrupt the dispensing of aerosol A during actuation.
  • the upstream range 15a of the base 15 has flutes 19 which extend longitudinally in relief on the cylindrical surface of revolution of said span, an upstream channel 11 being formed between two flanks 19 adjacent.
