La presente invention a trait a un dispositif de conditionnement et de distribution sous pression, en particulier sous forme pulverisee, d'un produit fluide. Plus particulierement, I'invention concerne de preference un pulverisateur miniature, de preference jetable, adapte au conditionnement sous forme d'un echantillon de produits cosmetiques, notamment de parfums. Le produit est de preference liquide. Des distributeurs de ce type vent decrits notamment dans les demandes de brevet FR-A-2 778 639, EP-A-O 761 314, FR-A-2 443 980, ou dans les brevets US-A-3 897 005, ou US-A-3 412 907. Tous ces dispositifs souffrent principalement d'au moins un handicap, lie soit a leur cout de fabrication, soit a leur facilite d'utilisation,  The present invention relates to a device for packaging and dispensing under pressure, in particular in spray form, a fluid product. More particularly, the invention preferably relates to a miniature sprayer, preferably disposable, suitable for packaging in the form of a sample of cosmetic products, in particular perfumes. The product is preferably liquid. Distributors of this type are described in particular in patent applications FR-A-2,778,639, EP-AO 761,314, FR-A-2,443,980, or in patents US-A-3,897,005, or US- A-3 412 907. All these devices suffer mainly from at least one handicap, linked either to their manufacturing cost or to their ease of use,

En effet, les echantillons n'etant generalement pas destines a la vente, leur cout de fabrication doit etre aussi falble que possible. II est done important d'avoir des dispositifs dont les pieces soient aisement realisables en grande serie et dont le montage puisse etre effectue de maniere simple. En outre, ils dolvent etre en mesure de generer un spray dont la qualite soit aussi bonne que possible, et dont  In fact, since the samples are generally not intended for sale, their manufacturing cost must be as low as possible. It is therefore important to have devices whose parts can be easily produced in large series and whose assembly can be carried out in a simple manner. In addition, they must be able to generate a spray whose quality is as good as possible, and whose

Par ailleurs, en particulier pour les parfums, il est connu de presenter de tels echantillons sous forme d'un recipient de petit volume (typiquement, 1,5 ml) comportant un corps cylindrique, notamment en verre, dont une extremite est fermee par un fond. L'autre extremite est ouverte et recoit une pompe miniature, surmontee d'un organe d'actionnement comprenant un orifice pour la pulverisation  Furthermore, in particular for perfumes, it is known to present such samples in the form of a small volume container (typically 1.5 ml) comprising a cylindrical body, in particular made of glass, one end of which is closed by a background. The other end is open and receives a miniature pump, surmounted by an actuator comprising an orifice for spraying

Le corps de pompe est en communication selective avec le  The miniature pump, like any pump fitted with larger containers, includes a pump body inside which a movable piston is released between a first position in which the pump body is of maximum volume and a second position in which the volume of the pump body is minimal. The pump body is in selective communication with the

recipient via un tube plongeur et un clapet d'admission, notamment sous forme d'une billet Lors de la phase de reduction du volume du corps de pompe, le clapet d'admission est ferme. En revanche, un clapet de sortie, situe en amont de ['orifice de distribution, est ouvert sous la pression du produit. Le produit est distribue sous  container via a dip tube and an intake valve, in particular in the form of a ticket During the phase of reduction of the volume of the pump body, the intake valve is closed. On the other hand, an outlet valve, located upstream of the dispensing orifice, is opened under the pressure of the product. The product is distributed under

Lorsque l'utilisateur relache la pression exercee sur l'organe d'actionnement, le piston, sous l'effet d'un ressort, remonte dans la premiere position en creant une depression a l'interieur du corps de pompe. Dans cette phase, cite de remplissage, le clapet d'admission est ouvert sous l'effet de la depression regnant a l'interieur du corps de pompe, et le clapet de sortie est ferme. De meme, pendant cette phase, un volume d'air correspondent au volume de produit transfere du recipient vers le corps de pompe, entre dans le recipient via un orifice  When the user releases the pressure exerted on the actuating member, the piston, under the effect of a spring, rises in the first position by creating a vacuum inside the pump body. In this phase, cite of filling, the inlet valve is opened under the effect of the vacuum prevailing inside the pump body, and the outlet valve is closed. Likewise, during this phase, a volume of air corresponds to the volume of product transferred from the container to the pump body, enters the container via an orifice.

Selon ['invention, ces objets vent atteints en realisant un ensemble pour le condition nement et la distribution d'un produit, notamment cosmetique, led it ensemble comprenant i) un recipient contenant le produit, le recipient etant delimite par un corps dont une extremite est fermee par un fond; ii) un organe mobile relativement au corps du recipient et apse, en reponse a une commande exercee manuellement sur une surface d'un organe d'actionnement, a passer d'une premiere position dans laquelle le volume delimite entre l'organe mobile et le fond du recipient est maximal, a une seconde position dans laquelle ledit volume est minimal, de maniere a pressuriser le produit contenu dans ledit volume et a en provoquer la sortie au travers d'au moins un orifice de distribution, le retour de ltorgane mobile de la seconde position vers la premiere, iorsque cesse ladite commande d'actionnement, s'accompagnant d'une  According to the invention, these objects are achieved by producing an assembly for the packaging and distribution of a product, in particular a cosmetic, led to an assembly comprising i) a container containing the product, the container being delimited by a body, one end of which is closed by a bottom; ii) a member movable relative to the body of the container and able, in response to a command exerted manually on a surface of an actuating member, to pass from a first position in which the volume delimited between the movable member and the bottom of the container is maximum, at a second position in which said volume is minimum, so as to pressurize the product contained in said volume and to cause it to exit through at least one dispensing orifice, the return of the movable member of the second position towards the first, when said actuation command ceases, accompanied by a

entree d'air a l'interieur audit volume.  air intake inside said volume.

Ainsi, et a ['inverse des dispositifs a pompe conventionnels dans lesquels seul le produit contenu a l'interieur du corps de pompe est pressurise, selon ['invention, a cheque actionnement, la totalite du produit contenu dans le recipient est pressurise, la diminution du volume de produit contenu dans la chambre a volume variable, en reponse a chaque actionnement, etant compense, non pas par une entree de produit, comme dans le corps d'une pompe classique, mais par une entree d'air directement a i'interieur de la chambre a volume variable. Dans les dispositifs a pompe conventionnels, I'entree d'air se fait dans la partie du recipient  Thus, and contrary to conventional pump devices in which only the product contained inside the pump body is pressurized, according to the invention, at each actuation, all of the product contained in the container is pressurized, the reduction in the volume of product contained in the variable volume chamber, in response to each actuation, being compensated, not by an inlet of product, as in the body of a conventional pump, but by an inlet of air directly to i inside the variable volume chamber. In conventional pump devices, the air intake is in the part of the container

exterieure a la chambre de pompage.outside the pumping chamber.

Un tel ensemble peut etre realise avec un nombre minimal de pieces, lequel  Such a set can be made with a minimum number of pieces, which

nombre, comme nous le verrons plus en detail par la suite peut aller jusqu'a deux.  number, as we will see in more detail later, can go up to two.

Dans les systemes classiques, le nombre de pieces peut aller jusquta 10.  In conventional systems, the number of pieces can be up to 10.

De ce fait, avec ['ensemble selon ['invention, les operations de montage vent  Therefore, with the assembly according to the invention, the assembly operations wind

De preference, I'organe mobile comprend une levre apte a s'appliquer de maniere etanche contre une surface interne du recipient lors du passage de ltorgane mobile de la premiere position a la seconde, ladite surFace interne etant configuree de sorte que, sur au moins une partie du mouvement de retour de l'organe mobile de la seconde position vers la premiere, ladite levre ne soit pas en contact etanche avec ladite surface interne. C'est precisement pendant cette periode ou la levre n'est pas en contact etanche avec la surface interne du recipient que se  Preferably, the movable member comprises a lip capable of applying in a sealed manner against an internal surface of the container during the passage of the movable member from the first position to the second, said internal surface being configured so that, on at least part of the return movement of the movable member from the second position to the first, said lip is not in sealed contact with said internal surface. It is precisely during this period when the lip is not in tight contact with the internal surface of the container that

produit ltentree d'air a l'interieur du volume variable.  produces the air intake inside the variable volume.

Avantageusement, sur au moins une partie de son mouvement entre lesdites premiere et seconde positions, la levre est soumise a une contrainte elastique  Advantageously, on at least part of its movement between said first and second positions, the lip is subjected to an elastic stress

augmentant en direction de la seconde position.  increasing towards the second position.

Ainsi, lorsque l'utilisateur relache la pression exercee sur la surface d'actionnement, le piston, sous l'effet d'un ressort, remonte axialement dans la direction opposee a celle du fond du recipient. Simultanement a ce mouvement de remontee, la levre du piston, au fur et a mesure que la contrainte elastique radiale a laquelle elle est soumise, diminue, tend a s'ecarter radialement de l'axe de maniere a rester en engagement avec la surface interne du recipient. Toutefois, ce mouvement radial, en raison de l'inertie du materieu formant la levre du piston, et de la legere depression qui se cree lorsque stamorce le mouvement de remontee, est moins rapide que le mouvement brusque de remontee. De ce fait, de l'air a le temps d'entrer a l'interieur du volume variable avant que la levre ne fasse a  Thus, when the user releases the pressure exerted on the actuating surface, the piston, under the effect of a spring, rises axially in the direction opposite to that of the bottom of the container. Simultaneously with this upward movement, the lifting of the piston, as the radial elastic stress to which it is subjected, decreases, tends to deviate radially from the axis so as to remain in engagement with the internal surface of the container. However, this radial movement, due to the inertia of the material forming the piston lip, and the slight depression which is created when the ascent movement is initiated, is slower than the sudden ascent movement. As a result, air has time to enter the variable volume before the lip

De maniere plus specifique, la surface interne est de section transversale circulaire, la levre etant annulaire, la distance entre un axe longitudinal de ['ensemble et ladite surface interne augmentant, de preference progressivement,  More specifically, the internal surface is of circular cross section, the lip being annular, the distance between a longitudinal axis of the assembly and said internal surface increasing, preferably progressively,

Ainsi, le mouvement radial auquel il a ete fait reference est permis par  Thus, the radial movement to which reference has been made is permitted by

Pour obtenir le resultat recherche, differents parametres peuvent etre pris en compte, et ajustes l'un relativement a l'autre. Parmi ces parametres figurent notamment: i) le materiau formant l'organe mobile, et en particulier la levre. Le materiau est choisi de sorte que le mouvement radial du bord libre de la levre sous l'effet de son elasticite soit plus lent que le mouvement de remontee de l'organe mobile. Un materiau de type polyethylene s'est revere etre satisfaisant; ii) la configuration de la levre, en particulier son epaisseur ou son inclinaison au repos. Cette configuration a en effet a un impact sur le double mouvement relatif auquel elle est soumise lors du passage de l'organe mobile de la seconde position a la premiere; iii) le profil de la surface interne du recipient, et en particulier, la variation de distance de la levre a la surface interne du recipient entre les premiere et seconde positions de ltorgane mobile; et  To obtain the desired result, different parameters can be taken into account, and adjusted relative to each other. Among these parameters are in particular: i) the material forming the movable member, and in particular the lip. The material is chosen so that the radial movement of the free edge of the lip under the effect of its elasticity is slower than the upward movement of the movable member. A polyethylene type material has been found to be satisfactory; ii) the configuration of the lip, in particular its thickness or its inclination at rest. This configuration has indeed an impact on the relative double movement to which it is subjected when the moving member passes from the second position to the first; iii) the profile of the internal surface of the container, and in particular, the variation in distance of the lip to the internal surface of the container between the first and second positions of the movable member; and

iv) I'elasticite du moyen rappelant l'organe mobile dans la seconde position.  iv) the elasticity of the means recalling the movable member in the second position.

Le fait que le ressort soit separe du corps du recipient permet de realiser ['ensemble en utilisant un premier materiou pour le ressort, ayant les proprietes elastiques requises, et un second materiau pour le corps, compatibles avec le decor ou les inscriptions que l'on peut souhaiter voire figurer sur le corps du recipient. Ainsi, on peut utiliser un polyoxymethylene (POM) pour le ressort, et un  The fact that the spring is separated from the body of the container makes it possible to produce the assembly using a first material for the spring, having the elastic properties required, and a second material for the body, compatible with the decor or the inscriptions that the you may even want to appear on the body of the container. Thus, one can use a polyoxymethylene (POM) for the spring, and a

In practice, communication between the dispensing orifice and the supply passage is established at least when

de l'un sur l'autre.from one to the other.

Selon ce mode de realisation, le recipient 2 ainsi que le ressort avec lequel il est obtenu de moulage est en POM. L'organe mobile 20 est en polyethylene ou en polypropylene. A l'utilisation, le consommateur exerce une pression axiale sur la surface 21 de l'organe d'actionnement 90 ffigure 3B). En reponse a cette pression axiale, le ressort 6 se comprime, et l'organe mobile 20 descend avec la levre annulaire 25  According to this embodiment, the container 2 and the spring with which it is obtained from molding is made of POM. The movable member 20 is made of polyethylene or polypropylene. In use, the consumer exerts an axial pressure on the surface 21 of the actuating member 90 (Figure 3B). In response to this axial pressure, the spring 6 compresses, and the movable member 20 descends with the annular lip 25

en engagement etanche avec la surface interne 12 du corps 3.  in watertight engagement with the internal surface 12 of the body 3.

Ce faisant, le volume 80, defini entre le fond 4 et l'organe mobile 20, diminue et le  In doing so, the volume 80, defined between the bottom 4 and the movable member 20, decreases and the

produit qui y est contenu est pressurise, et remonte dans le passage annulaire 27.  product contained therein is pressurized, and rises in the annular passage 27.

Le mouvement d'enfoncement se pour-quit jusquta compression totale du ressort 6 ou jusquta ce que le bord crenele 28 de la jupe axiale 26 soit en butee contre le  The driving-in movement continues until total compression of the spring 6 or until the notched edge 28 of the axial skirt 26 is in abutment against the

Dans cette position, la levre annulaire 29 est en regard de la portion nervuree 11 de ['element axial 10. Le produit contenu dans le passage annulaire 27 passe entre les nervures de la portion 11, s'engouffre dans le passage radial 30, dans les  In this position, the annular lip 29 faces the ribbed portion 11 of the axial element 10. The product contained in the annular passage 27 passes between the ribs of the portion 11, rushes into the radial passage 30, in the

canaux tourbillonnaires 32, et est pulverise via ['orifice de distribution 7.  vortex channels 32, and is sprayed via the dispensing orifice 7.

Lorsque le consommateur relache la pression exercee sur la surface 21 (figure 3C), ltorgane mobile 20, sous i'action du ressort 6 remonte axialement. Ce faisant, la levre annulaire 29 cesse d'etre en regard de la portion nervuree 11 et revient en engagement etanche avec la portion situee au dessus de la zone nervuree 11. L'epaisseur decroissant progressivement de la paroi du corps 3 du recipient 2, couplee a l'inertie du materieu formant la levre annulaire 25 de l'organe mobile, a la brusque poussee generee par le ressort 6, et a la legere depression qui peut se creer a l'interieur du recipient lorsque s'amorce le mouvement de remontee de l'organe mobile 20, favorise le maintien d'un leger ecartement entre le bord libre de la levre annulaire 25 de l'organe mobile 20 et la surface interne 12 du corps 3, et ce pendant au moins une partie du mouvement de remontee de ltorgane mobile 20. De l'air peut alors s'engouffrer a l'interieur du recipient 2, de maniere a retablir  When the consumer releases the pressure exerted on the surface 21 (FIG. 3C), the movable member 20, under the action of the spring 6 rises axially. In doing so, the annular lip 29 ceases to be opposite the ribbed portion 11 and returns in sealed engagement with the portion located above the ribbed zone 11. The thickness progressively decreasing from the wall of the body 3 of the container 2, coupled to the inertia of the material forming the annular lip 25 of the movable member, to the sudden push generated by the spring 6, and to the slight depression which can be created inside the container when the movement of rise of the movable member 20, promotes the maintenance of a slight spacing between the free edge of the annular lip 25 of the movable member 20 and the internal surface 12 of the body 3, and this during at least part of the movement of ascent of the movable member 20. Air can then rush into the interior of the container 2, so as to restore

un equilibre des pressions.a balance of pressures.

Lorsque ltorgane mobile 20 atteint sa position haute (figure 3A), le bord libre de la levre annulaire 25 est a nouveau en engagement etanche avec la surface interne 12 du corps du recipient. Le volume 80 est a nouveau maximal. L'ensemble est  When the movable member 20 reaches its high position (FIG. 3A), the free edge of the annular lip 25 is again in sealed engagement with the internal surface 12 of the body of the container. The volume 80 is again maximum. The set is

Dans le mode de realisation qui vient d'etre decrit, le moyen de rappel elastique 6 est configure sous forme d'un ressort helicodal. Dans la variante des figures 4A et 4B, le ressort 6 est configure sous forme d'un empilement de plusieurs anneaux 61, 62, 63, 64, 65. Deux anneaux consecutifs 61, 62 vent maintenus a distance l'un de l'autre par deux entretoises 66, 67 diametralement opposees, tandis que les anneaux 62 et 63 vent maintenus a distance l'un de l'autre par deux entretoises 58, 69, decalees de 90 par rapport aux entretoises 66, 67, et ainsi de  In the embodiment which has just been described, the elastic return means 6 is configured in the form of a helical spring. In the variant of FIGS. 4A and 4B, the spring 6 is configured in the form of a stack of several rings 61, 62, 63, 64, 65. Two consecutive rings 61, 62 are kept at a distance from each other by two diametrically opposed spacers 66, 67, while the rings 62 and 63 are kept at a distance from each other by two spacers 58, 69, offset by 90 relative to the spacers 66, 67, and so

Dans le mode de realisation des figures 5 et 6A-6D, I'ensemble 101 comprend un rgcipient 102 comprenant un corps cylindrique 103 en POM dont une extremite est ouverte et apte a etre scellee de maniere etanche par un fond 104, pouvant egalement etre obtenu de moulage avec le recipient 102. La fixation du fond 104  In the embodiment of FIGS. 5 and 6A-6D, the assembly 101 comprises a receptacle 102 comprising a cylindrical body 103 made of POM, one end of which is open and capable of being sealed in a leaktight manner by a bottom 104, which can also be obtained molding with the container 102. The fixing of the bottom 104

sur le corps 103 peut etre obtenu par serrage, encliquetage, soudage ou collage.  on the body 103 can be obtained by clamping, snap-fastening, welding or gluing.

Au voisinage de son extremite opposee au fond 104, le corps 103 du recipient presente une portion formant ressort 106, obtenue de moulage avec le corps 103 du recipient. Au dessus du ressort 106, la paroi du corps 103 est traversee par un orifice de distribution 107 debouchant au fond d'un renfoncement 108. L'extremite superieure 105 du corps 103 est fermee par une paroi transversale bombee 121, obtenue de moulage avec le reste du corps. Au voisinage de sa peripherie, la surface 121 presente une zone annulaire de moindre epaisseur 146 qui, comme on le verra plus en detail par la suite, permet de favoriser ['inversion de profil de la paroi bombee 121. La partie du corps 103 situee au dessus du ressort 106, et  In the vicinity of its end opposite the bottom 104, the body 103 of the container has a portion forming a spring 106, obtained by molding with the body 103 of the container. Above the spring 106, the wall of the body 103 is crossed by a dispensing orifice 107 emerging at the bottom of a recess 108. The upper end 105 of the body 103 is closed by a convex transverse wall 121, obtained by molding with the rest of the body. In the vicinity of its periphery, the surface 121 presents an annular zone of lesser thickness 146 which, as will be seen in more detail below, makes it possible to favor the inversion of the profile of the curved wall 121. The part of the body 103 located above the spring 106, and

fermee par la paroi bombee 121 constitue l'organe d'actionnement 190.  closed by the curved wall 121 constitutes the actuating member 190.

Comme il appara^'t aux figures 6A-6D, et de la meme maniere que pour le mode de realisation precedent, en dessous du ressort 106, et sensiblement sur 1/3 de la hauteur du corps 103 situee sous le ressort, la paroi du corps est d'epaisseur augmentant progressivement en direction du fond 104. Ainsi, sur cette portion du corps 103, la distance a l'axe X de la surface interne 112 du corps 103 augmente  As it appears in FIGS. 6A-6D, and in the same way as for the previous embodiment, below the spring 106, and substantially over 1/3 of the height of the body 103 situated under the spring, the wall of the body is of thickness gradually increasing towards the bottom 104. Thus, on this portion of the body 103, the distance to the X axis of the internal surface 112 of the body 103 increases

progressivement dans la direction opposee au fond 104.  gradually in the opposite direction to the bottom 104.

L'ensemble selon ce mode de realisation comprend egalement un organe mobile en polyethylene, comprenant une jupe laterale 122 dont le diametre externe, au moins dans sa partie superieure 123, est legerement inferieur au diametre interne du corps 103 de maniere a pouvoir y etre monte de maniere serrante, ou accroche par tout autre moyen, notamment de type encliquetage. La partie 123 se prolonge par une portion de plus faible diametre 124 se terminant par une levre annulaire 125 tournee vers le teas en s'evasant legerement vers l'exterieur de maniere a etre en engagement etanche avec la surface interne 112 du corps 103.
