  • a spray head may for example be in the form of a pusher operable with one or more finger (s) of a hand.
  • the preferred fields of application of the present invention are those of perfumery, cosmetics or pharmacy, without excluding other areas.
  • document FR-2 399 282 which describes a conventional spray head comprising a dispensing orifice, a swirl chamber and swirling channels which open tangentially and transversely into the swirl chamber.
  • the swirl channels extend in a plane that is perpendicular to the distribution axis defined by the spray orifice.
  • the flows of fluid from the swirling channels enter the swirl chamber along the bottom wall of the chamber.
  • they also run along the cylindrical side wall of the chamber as they open tangentially into the swirl chamber.
  • the flows of fluid product run along both the bottom wall and the side wall of the swirl chamber, thus generating a loss of considerable load. Parasitic and uncontrolled flow phenomena are also generated.
  • FR-2 399 282 describes yet another embodiment in which the swirl channels are formed in a frustoconical surface and open tangentially into the bottom wall of the swirl chamber which defines a frustoconical side wall whose open top forms the spray orifice. More specifically, a nozzle, forming the spray orifice and the frustoconical wall, is engaged around a pin forming the bottom wall and a frustoconical surface in which the swirl channels are formed.
  • the fluid product streams from the swirling channels enter the swirl chamber along the frustoconical wall of the swirl chamber towards the spray orifice.
  • the fact that the flows along the frustoconical internal wall of the chamber generates a considerable pressure drop and uncontrolled parasitic flow phenomena.
  • the sputtering chamber is responsible for a significant loss of pressure and the generation of fluid phenomena that affect the good quality of the spray through the spray orifice. .
  • the present invention aims to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks of the prior art found in most dispensing heads provided with a chamber and swirling channels.
  • the present invention proposes the Y-axis projection of the swirling channels moving away from both the bottom wall and the peripheral side wall which are both adjacent to the channel outlets so as to pass through the chamber. swirling without running along either the bottom wall or the peripheral side wall.

  • the vortex flow is mainly generated away from the inner walls of the vortex chamber.
  • the pressure drop at the swirl chamber is thus considerably reduced, which makes it possible to implement swirl channels having a reduced cross section. Indeed, the pressure loss already created by the swirl channels of reduced section will be only slightly increased at the level of the swirl chamber of the invention.
  • the channel outlets open into the swirl chamber at the point where the bottom wall connects to the peripheral side wall.
  • the flows of fluid product from the outlets of the swirling channels penetrate into the swirl chamber substantially symmetrically with respect to the side and bottom walls, which considerably reduces parasitic turbulence.

Thanks to their oblique disposition coming from the frustoconical wall, the flows of fluid product penetrate into the swirl chamber away from both the bottom wall and the side wall, in the direction of the front wall where is formed l spray orifice.
  • the spray head comprises a head body and a nozzle, the head body forming a pin defining the bottom wall and the frustoconical wall, the nozzle being engaged around the pin defining between them the swirl chamber and the swirl channels, the nozzle defining the front wall and the side wall, and a frustoconical zone which comes into sealing contact with the frustoconical wall of the spindle to form the swirl channels, the nozzle advantageously having a symmetry of revolution around the axis of distribution.
