Abstract
Description
La présente invention a trait à un dispositif de conditionnement et de distribution d'un produit, notamment cosmétique ou dermatologique. Un tel produit peut être distribué notamment sous forme d'une crème, d'un gel, d'une mousse ou d'un spray.The present invention relates to a packaging and distribution device of a product, in particular cosmetic or dermatological. Such a product can be distributed in particular in the form of a cream, gel, foam or spray.
Avec de tels dispositifs, le produit peut être conditionné sous forme pressurisée au moyen d'un gaz disposé dans le récipient contenant le produit, le gaz propulseur étant en mélange avec le produit ou séparé du produit, la distribution sous pression se faisant via une valve de type valve aérosol.With such devices, the product can be packaged in pressurized form at means of a gas placed in the container containing the product, the propellant being mixed with the product or separated from the product, the distribution under pressure applied via an aerosol valve type valve.
Alternativement, la pressurisation du produit peut se faire lors de sa distribution au moyen d'une pompe à actionnement manuel.Alternatively, the pressurization of the product can be done during its distribution to by means of a manually operated pump.
D'une manière générale, dans les dispositifs pressurisés utilisant une valve, la distribution du produit se fait en réponse à une pression exercée, soit axialement (valve à enfoncement) soit latéralement (valve à basculement), sur un organe d'actionnement sous forme d'un bouton poussoir, appelé aussi "diffuseur". Un tel bouton poussoir est mobile par rapport à une frette de montage, disposée fixement sur le récipient. La pression exercée sur l'organe d'actionnement provoque un déplacement (enfoncement ou basculement) d'un organe d'activation, sous forme d'une tige de valve, et la sortie du produit via un orifice de sortie ménagé dans le diffuseur. Lorsque cesse la pression d'actionnement, un moyen de rappel, notamment un ressort, contraint l'organe d'activation en position de fermeture de la valve.Generally, in pressurized devices using a valve, the product distribution is done in response to a pressure exerted, either axially (push-in valve) or laterally (tilt valve), on an organ actuation in the form of a push button, also called "diffuser". Such push button is movable relative to a mounting hoop, arranged fixedly on the container. The pressure exerted on the actuator causes a displacement (depression or tilting) of an organ activation, in the form of a valve stem, and the product outlet via a outlet in the diffuser. When the actuation pressure ceases, a return means, in particular a spring, constrains the activation member in position valve closing.
Dans le cas d'une pompe, l'actionnement de la pompe se fait généralement par une pression exercée axialement sur un bouton poussoir, laquelle pression provoque le déplacement axial d'un organe d'activation. L'organe d'activation est couplé à un piston dont le déplacement à l'intérieur de corps de pompe, dans un sens, provoque la sortie sous pression du produit, et dans l'autre sens, provoque l'aspiration du produit dans le corps de pompe. Généralement le piston est contraint dans sa position correspondant au volume maximal de la chambre de pompage au moyen d'un ressort.In the case of a pump, the pump is generally actuated by a pressure exerted axially on a push button, which pressure causes the axial displacement of an activation member. The activation organ is coupled to a piston whose displacement inside the pump body, in a direction, causes the product to exit under pressure, and in the other direction, causes the suction of the product in the pump body. Generally the piston is constrained in its position corresponding to the maximum volume of the pumping by means of a spring.
La configuration de ces dispositifs conventionnels est telle, que parfois, il est difficile d'actionner la pompe ou la valve d'une main, et de récupérer le produit distribué au moyen de la même main. Or, ceci peut être souhaitable, notamment pour certains produits sous forme d'une crème ou d'un gel.The configuration of these conventional devices is such that sometimes it is difficult to operate the pump or valve with one hand and recover the product distributed by the same hand. However, this may be desirable, in particular for certain products in the form of a cream or gel.
Indépendamment de cette possibilité d'actionnement et de récupération du produit distribué d'une seule et même main, il peut être souhaitable, en particulier dans le domaine de la cosmétique, de permettre une gestuelle tout simplement différente des gestuelles conventionnelles.Regardless of this possibility of actuation and recovery of the product distributed with one hand, it may be desirable, especially in the field of cosmetics, to allow simply different gestures conventional gestures.
La demande de brevet FR-A-2 661 116 décrit un dispositif équipé d'une pompe à actionnement manuel. La distribution du produit résulte d'une pression exercée axialement sur un bouton poussoir. Le bouton poussoir est couplé à une rampe fortement pentue, et configurée de sorte que la pression axiale exercée sur le bouton poussoir provoque l'enfoncement de la tige de pompe et la sortie du produit au travers d'un orifice de sortie. Simultanément à l'enfoncement de la tige de pompe, le bouton poussoir est entraíné sur une rotation d'environ 30° de manière à provoquer un déplacement angulaire correspondant du spray de produit.Patent application FR-A-2 661 116 describes a device equipped with a pump manual actuation. The distribution of the product results from a pressure exerted axially on a push button. The push button is coupled to a ramp strongly sloping, and configured so that the axial pressure exerted on the push button causes the pump rod to sink in and out of the product through an outlet. Simultaneously with the sinking of the rod pump, the push button is driven on a rotation of about 30 ° so as to cause a corresponding angular displacement of the spray of product.
Selon ce document, en raison de la forte pente de la rampe formée par la frette, il n'est pas possible d'entraíner directement le bouton poussoir en rotation par rapport à la frette. Le mouvement de rotation du bouton poussoir ne peut être que la résultante de la pression axiale exercée sur le bouton poussoir. C'est la pression axiale qui provoque de manière simultanée, d'une part l'actionnement de la pompe, et d'autre part, la rotation du bouton poussoir lors de la sortie du produit. En d'autres termes, selon ce document, le mouvement de rotation n'est qu'un mouvement induit et non pas un mouvement moteur.According to this document, due to the steep slope of the ramp formed by the hoop, it is not possible to directly drive the push button in rotation by compared to the fret. The rotary movement of the push button can only be the result of the axial pressure exerted on the push button. It's here axial pressure which simultaneously causes, on the one hand, the actuation of the pump, and on the other hand, the rotation of the push button when the product leaves. In other words, according to this document, the rotational movement is only a induced movement and not motor movement.
Il en résulte que la gestuelle à l'utilisation est identique à celle des pompes conventionnelles décrites ci-avant. As a result, the gesture in use is identical to that of the pumps conventional described above.
Aussi, est-ce un des objets de l'invention que de réaliser un dispositif de conditionnement et de distribution sous pression d'un produit, notamment cosmétique, autorisant une gestuelle d'utilisation différente des dispositifs conventionnels.Also, is it an object of the invention to provide a device for packaging and distribution under pressure of a product, in particular cosmetic, allowing a gesture of different use of the devices conventional.
C'est en particulier un objet de l'invention que de réaliser un tel dispositif dont l'actionnement de l'élément de distribution puisse être provoqué par un mouvement de rotation imprimé directement par l'utilisateur à un organe d'actionnement.It is in particular an object of the invention to produce such a device whose the actuation of the dispensing element may be caused by a rotational movement printed directly by the user on an organ actuating.
C'est un autre objet de l'invention que de réaliser un tel dispositif qui permette d'une main, de commander la sortie du produit, et sur la même main, de collecter le produit ainsi distribué.It is another object of the invention to produce such a device which allows with one hand, to control the output of the product, and on the same hand, to collect the product thus distributed.
C'est encore un autre objet de l'invention que de réaliser un tel dispositif qui soit simple à utiliser et économique à réaliser.It is yet another object of the invention to produce such a device which is simple to use and economical to make.
D'autres objets encore apparaítront dans la description détaillée qui suit.Still other objects will appear in the detailed description which follows.
Selon l'invention, ces objets sont atteints en réalisant un dispositif pour le
conditionnement et la distribution d'un produit, notamment cosmétique,
comprenant :
Ainsi, le mouvement de rotation, directement imprimé à l'organe d'actionnement par l'utilisateur, provoque le mouvement axial de l'élément d'activation et, de ce fait, l'actionnement de l'élément de distribution et la sortie du produit sous pression au travers de l'orifice de sortie. Il en résulte une gestuelle d'utilisation du dispositif selon l'invention sensiblement différente de la gestuelle d'utilisation des dispositifs conventionnels auxquels il a été fait référence précédemment.Thus, the rotational movement, directly printed on the actuator by the user, causes the axial movement of the activation element and, as a result done, the actuation of the dispensing element and the outlet of the product under pressure through the outlet. This results in a gesture of use of the device according to the invention significantly different from the gestures for using the devices previously referred to.
Cette configuration est à l'inverse de celle décrite dans le document FR-A-2 661 116 selon lequel le mouvement imprimé directement par l'utilisateur au bouton poussoir est un mouvement axial, lequel mouvement axial provoque l'actionnement de l'élément de distribution, et induit le mouvement de rotation du bouton poussoir. Le mouvement de rotation induit du bouton poussoir ne joue aucun rôle moteur dans l'actionnement de la pompe.This configuration is the opposite of that described in document FR-A-2 661 116 according to which the movement printed directly by the user at the button pusher is an axial movement, which axial movement causes actuation of the dispensing element, and induces the rotational movement of the pushbutton. The induced rotation movement of the push button does not play no driving role in the actuation of the pump.
Dans le cas d'une valve dont la course d'actionnement peut être de l'ordre de 0,5 mm, l'actionnement peut résulter d'une rotation de quelques degrés de l'organe d'actionnement par rapport à la frette.In the case of a valve whose actuating stroke can be of the order of 0.5 mm, the actuation can result from a rotation of a few degrees of the organ actuation with respect to the hoop.
Dans le cas d'une pompe dont la course d'actionnement peut être de l'ordre de 2 mm ou plus, l'actionnement de la pompe peut résulter d'une rotation comprise entre 10° et 50°, et de préférence, d'environ 30°. L'angle de rotation dépend dans une large mesure de la configuration du couplage entre l'organe d'actionnement et la frette.In the case of a pump whose actuating stroke can be of the order of 2 mm or more, the actuation of the pump may result from a rotation included between 10 ° and 50 °, and preferably about 30 °. The angle of rotation depends in a large measure of the configuration of the coupling between the actuator and the fret.
Lorsque cesse la commande d'actionnement, l'organe d'activation, sous l'effet d'un moyen de rappel (ressort hélicoïdal) de l'élément de distribution, remonte axialement, et provoque automatiquement la rotation de l'organe d'actionnement dans le sens inverse de sa rotation visant à actionner l'élément de distribution. Toutefois, un moyen de rappel auxiliaire peut être prévu pour rappeler l'organe d'actionnement dans son mouvement de rotation en sens inverse.When the actuation command ceases, the activation member, under the effect of a return means (helical spring) of the distribution element, goes up axially, and automatically causes the actuator to rotate in the opposite direction of its rotation aimed at actuating the dispensing element. However, an auxiliary recall means can be provided to recall the organ actuation in its reverse rotation movement.
De préférence, ledit déplacement axial de l'organe d'activation résulte de la mise en rotation autour dudit axe X de l'organe d'actionnement. Cette caractéristique simplifie dans une large mesure la conception de la tête de distribution. Preferably, said axial movement of the activation member results from the placing rotating around said axis X of the actuating member. This characteristic greatly simplifies the design of the dispensing head.
Selon un mode de réalisation spécifique, le dispositif comprend au moins un élément d'entraínement, notamment sous forme d'un ergot, formé par l'organe d'actionnement (respectivement par la frette) et apte à venir en engagement avec au moins un élément de guidage formé par la frette (respectivement par l'organe d'actionnement), ledit (ou lesdits) élément(s) de guidage comprenant chacun une rampe configurée de manière à, lors de la mise en rotation de l'organe d'actionnement, provoquer ledit déplacement axial de l'organe d'activation.According to a specific embodiment, the device comprises at least one drive element, in particular in the form of a lug, formed by the member actuation (respectively by the hoop) and able to come into engagement with at least one guide element formed by the hoop (respectively by the member actuation), said (or said) guide element (s) each comprising a ramp configured so that when the member is rotated actuation, cause said axial movement of the activation member.
Les éléments de guidage peuvent être réalisés sous forme de fenêtres traversant une paroi latérale de la frette et dont le profil est choisi en fonction du profil de rampe recherché, et en fonction de la rapidité souhaitée à l'ouverture.The guide elements can be produced in the form of through windows a side wall of the hoop and whose profile is chosen according to the profile of ramp sought, and depending on the desired speed at opening.
A titre indicatif, la pente moyenne de la (ou des) rampe(s) est inférieure à 50%, et de préférence inférieure à 30%.As an indication, the average slope of the ramp (s) is less than 50%, and preferably less than 30%.
La mise en engagement d'un élément d'entraínement avec le moyen de guidage qui lui est associé peut se faire via une ouverture débouchant sur un bord libre de la frette.The engagement of a drive element with the guide means associated with it can be done via an opening leading to a free edge of the fret.
Selon un mode de réalisation préférentiel, le (ou les) élément(s) d'entraínement est (sont) formé(s) par l'organe d'actionnement, la (ou les) élément(s) de guidage étant formé(s) par la frette.According to a preferred embodiment, the (or) element (s) of drive is (are) formed by the actuating member, the guide element (s) being formed by the hoop.
Avantageusement, le dispositif selon l'invention comprend une pluralité d'éléments d'entraínement, notamment trois, espacés de manière régulière, et associés chacun à un élément de guidage correspondant. Une telle pluralité d'éléments d'entraínement, et d'éléments de guidage associés, favorise dans une large mesure la mise en rotation de l'organe d'actionnement et l'actionnement de la valve ou de la pompe.Advantageously, the device according to the invention comprises a plurality of elements drive, including three, regularly spaced, and associated each with a corresponding guide element. Such a plurality of elements drive, and associated guide elements, promotes in a large measures the rotation of the actuating member and the actuation of the valve or pump.
L'organe d'actionnement est mobile en rotation par rapport à la frette entre une première position angulaire et une seconde position angulaire, le couplage entre l'organe d'actionnement et la frette pouvant être tel que la rotation de l'organe d'actionnement entre ladite première position et une position intermédiaire entre lesdites première et seconde positions, ne provoque sensiblement aucun déplacement axial de l'organe d'activation. La position des moyens d'entraínement entre la première position et la position intermédiaire constitue une plage de "verrouillage" du dispositif, dans laquelle les risques d'actionnement intempestifs de l'élément de distribution, notamment lors de la mise en place d'un éventuel capuchon, sont réduits de manière sensible.The actuator is movable in rotation relative to the hoop between a first angular position and a second angular position, the coupling between the actuating member and the hoop being able to be such that the rotation of the member actuation between said first position and an intermediate position between said first and second positions, does not cause substantially any axial movement of the activation member. The position of the training means between the first position and the intermediate position constitutes a range of "locking" of the device, in which the risks of untimely actuation of the distribution element, especially during the installation of a possible cap, are reduced significantly.
La plage de "verrouillage" peut être séparée de la rampe par un cran dont le franchissement se fait par encliquetage. Le franchissement du cran peut se faire automatiquement sous l'effet de la force de rappel de la pompe ou de la valve, ou manuellement par action de l'utilisateur. Un tel cran rend, pour certains produits au moins, la présence d'un capuchon auxiliaire encore moins indispensable.The "locking" range can be separated from the ramp by a notch whose crossing is by snap-fastening. Crossing the notch can be done automatically due to the return force of the pump or valve, or manually by user action. Such a notch makes, for certain products less, the presence of an auxiliary cap even less essential.
A cet effet, lors de la rotation de l'organe d'actionnement entre la première position et la position intermédiaire, le (ou les) élément(s) d'entraínement peuvent être en engagement avec une portion de l'élément de guidage correspondant, sensiblement perpendiculaire à l'axe X, et située en amont de la rampe dudit élément de guidage correspondant. De préférence, l'ouverture par laquelle l'élément d'entraínement est mis en engagement avec l'élément de guidage est décalée angulairement par rapport au bord le plus en amont de l'élément de guidage, de sorte que lorsque l'élément d'entraínement est en butée contre le bord amont (position de repos ou de stockage), l'organe d'actionnement ne puisse être désolidarisé de la frette par une simple traction exercée sur l'organe d'actionnement.To this end, during the rotation of the actuating member between the first position and the intermediate position, (or) element (s) drive can be in engagement with a portion of the corresponding guide element, substantially perpendicular to the X axis, and located upstream of the ramp of said corresponding guide element. Preferably, the opening through which the drive element is engaged with the guide element is angularly offset from the most upstream edge of the element guide, so that when the drive element abuts against the edge upstream (rest or storage position), the actuator cannot be detached from the hoop by a simple traction exerted on the organ actuating.
De préférence, l'orifice de sortie est disposé selon ledit axe X. Cette disposition facilite encore l'actionnement de l'élément de distribution et la collecte du produit distribué au moyen de la même main.Preferably, the outlet orifice is arranged along said axis X. This arrangement further facilitates actuation of the dispensing element and product collection distributed by the same hand.
Avantageusement, l'organe d'actionnement comprend des reliefs, notamment sous forme de stries, aptes à favoriser sa mise en rotation par rapport à la frette de montage. De telles stries sont de préférence orientées parallèlement à l'axe de rotation de l'organe d'actionnement. Advantageously, the actuating member comprises reliefs, in particular in the form of striations, capable of promoting its rotation relative to the hoop mounting. Such streaks are preferably oriented parallel to the axis of rotation of the actuator.
Un capuchon amovible peut être prévu pour, en position de stockage du dispositif, recouvrir l'orifice de sortie.A removable cap can be provided for, in the device storage position, cover the outlet.
Le capuchon amovible peut comprendre des moyens, notamment sous forme d'une bille en élastomère, aptes, en position fermée du capuchon, à venir s'appliquer de manière étanche contre l'orifice de sortie. L'actionnement de l'élément de distribution étant provoqué par rotation de l'organe d'actionnement, les risques d'actionnement intempestifs de l'élément de distribution lors de la mise en place du capuchon, et en particulier lors de la mise en engagement des moyens d'étanchéité avec l'orifice de sortie, sont réduits de manière très sensible.The removable cap may comprise means, in particular in the form an elastomer ball, suitable, in the closed position of the cap, to come apply tightly against the outlet. The actuation of the dispensing element being caused by rotation of the actuating member, the risks of inadvertent actuation of the dispensing element during the setting in place of the cap, and in particular when engaging the sealing means with the outlet orifice, are reduced very significantly.
L'élément de distribution peut être constitué d'une valve de type valve aérosol. Dans ce cas, le récipient peut être sous forme d'un bidon en métal ou en matériau thermoplastique. La valve peut être de type "mâle". Dans ce cas l'organe d'activation est constitué d'une tige creuse émergeant à l'extérieur du corps de valve, et dont une partie disposée à l'intérieur du corps de valve assure l'ouverture/fermeture de la valve.The dispensing element may consist of a valve of the aerosol valve type. In this case, the container can be in the form of a metal or material container thermoplastic. The valve can be of the "male" type. In this case the organ activation consists of a hollow rod emerging outside the body of valve, and part of which disposed inside the valve body ensures opening / closing the valve.
Alternativement, la valve est de type "femelle". Dans ce cas, l'organe d'activation est constitué d'un élément d'ouverture/fermeture disposé dans son intégralité à l'intérieur du corps de valve et en engagement avec lequel vient une portion tubulaire de l'organe d'actionnement, en communication avec l'orifice de sortie.Alternatively, the valve is of the "female" type. In this case, the activation device consists of an opening / closing element arranged in its entirety at inside the valve body and in engagement with which comes a portion tubular of the actuating member, in communication with the outlet orifice.
Selon un autre mode de réalisation, l'élément de distribution est constitué d'une pompe à actionnement manuel. Le récipient peut être notamment en verre ou en matériau thermoplastique.According to another embodiment, the distribution element consists of a manually operated pump. The container may in particular be made of glass or thermoplastic material.
La frette, l'organe d'actionnement ainsi que, le cas échéant, le capuchon, peuvent être obtenus de moulage de matériaux thermoplastiques tels qu'un polypropylène, un polyéthylène téréphtalate, ou un chlorure de polyvinyle.The hoop, the actuating member and, if applicable, the cap, can be obtained by molding thermoplastic materials such as polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, or polyvinyl chloride.
Avantageusement, le dispositif selon l'invention peut être utilisé pour le conditionnement et la distribution d'un produit cosmétique, ou dermatologique, notamment sous forme d'une crème, d'une mousse, d'un gel ou d'un spray. Il peut s'agir notamment d'un produit d'hygiène corporelle, de coiffage, de coloration des cheveux, de soin de la peau ou des cheveux, de maquillage, ou de protection contre les rayonnements néfastes du solaire.Advantageously, the device according to the invention can be used for the packaging and distribution of a cosmetic or dermatological product, especially in the form of a cream, foam, gel or spray. he can in particular a product for personal hygiene, styling, coloring of hair, skin or hair care, makeup, or protection against harmful solar radiation.

Le dispositif 1 qui va maintenant être décrit en référence aux figures 1-4 et 5A-5B
comprend un bidon en fer blanc 2 dont un bord libre est roulé et délimite une
ouverture 3. Sur le bord roulé, est sertie une coupelle porte-valve 4. La valve 5 est
tout à fait conventionnelle et comprend une tige de valve 6, d'axe X confondu avec
l'axe de la valve 5. La tige de valve 6 émerge à l'extérieur d'un corps de valve 7.The
Sur la valve est montée une tête de distribution 10 comprenant une frette 20, un
organe d'actionnement 40 et un capuchon 60.On the valve is mounted a dispensing
La frette 20 comprend une jupe d'accrochage 21 dont une extrémité est destinée
au montage sur le récipient 2. La surface intérieure de la jupe d'accrochage 21
comprend une pluralité de bourrelets 22, 23, aptes à coopérer par encliquetage
avec le bourrelet de sertissage 8 de la valve 5 sur le bidon 2. Egalement sur la
surface intérieure de la jupe d'accrochage 21 sont formées une pluralité de
nervures 24, régulièrement espacées, et aptes à venir en butée contre le bord
supérieur du bourrelet de sertissage 8, de manière à assurer un positionnement
axial fixe de la frette 20. Le montage de la jupe d'accrochage 21 sur le bidon 2 est
relativement serrant de manière à sensiblement immobiliser la frette en rotation
sur le bidon 2.The
Au voisinage de son extrémité ouverte, la jupe d'accrochage 21 de la frette 20 est
sensiblement cylindrique, puis diminue progressivement en s'éloignant du bidon 2.Near its open end, the
Sensiblement au même niveau que la base de la partie émergeante de la tige de
valve 6, la frette 20 forme un premier décrochement 25. Le décrochement 25 est
disposé entre la jupe d'accrochage et une portion cylindrique 27 de plus faible
section que la jupe d'accrochage 21. Sensiblement à mi-hauteur axiale, la portion
de jupe cylindrique 27 comporte sur sa surface externe un bourrelet 26, apte à
coopérer par encliquetage avec une gorge 61 prévu sur la surface interne du
capuchon 60.Substantially at the same level as the base of the emerging part of the
La frette 20 forme en outre un second décrochement 28 séparant la portion
cylindrique 27 d'une jupe cylindrique d'extrémité 29, de diamètre plus faible que la
portion 27. La jupe d'extrémité 29 se termine par un bord libre 30. La jupe
d'extrémité 29 est traversée par trois fenêtres 31, 32, 33 espacées à 120°, et
débouchant chacune sur le bord libre 30 via une ouverture 34, 35, 36. Chaque
fenêtre 31, 32, 33 comprend une portion amont 37 (par rapport au sens de rotation
à l'ouverture) sensiblement perpendiculaire à l'axe X, et une portion aval 38
inclinée en direction du décrochement 28. La portion aval 38, ainsi inclinée, forme
une rampe, dont la fonction sera explicitée plus en détail par la suite.The
Pour chaque fenêtre 31, 32, 33, l'ouverture 34, 35, 36 est décalée angulairement
par rapport au bord le plus en amont de la fenêtre. De préférence, la distance est
d'environ égale au diamètre des ergots dont nous parlerons plus en détail par la
suite. For each
A titre d'indication, la portion amont 37 s'étend sur environ ¼ de la largeur
angulaire de la fenêtre 33. La rampe 38 s'étend sur environ ¾ de la largeur
angulaire. La pente de la rampe 38 est d'environ 20°.As an indication, the
La tête de distribution 10 comprend également un organe d'actionnement 40.
L'organe d'actionnement 40 comprend une partie de manoeuvre 41 sous forme
d'une jupe formant une sphère tronquée, et dont la surface externe comporte des
stries 48 orientées parallèlement à l'axe X. La jupe 41 comprend un bord ouvert 49
disposé à une distance du décrochement 28 au moins égale à la hauteur axiale
des rampes 38 formées par les fenêtres 31, 32, 33.The dispensing
Sensiblement à mi-hauteur de la partie de manoeuvre 41 de l'organe
d'actionnement 40, sur la surface interne de la partie de manoeuvre 41 font saillie
radialement trois ergots 42, 43, 44 espacés à 120°, et destinés à venir en
engagement avec les fenêtres 31, 32, 33, via leurs ouvertures respectives 34, 35,
36. Le diamètre des ergots 42, 43, 44 est légèrement inférieur à la hauteur axiale
des fenêtres 31, 32, 33 de manière à permettre un déplacement guidé des ergots
42, 43, 44 à l'intérieur des fenêtres 31, 32, 33.Substantially halfway up the operating
La portion de manoeuvre 41 de l'organe d'actionnement est surmontée d'un dôme
hémisphérique 45 au sommet duquel débouche un orifice de sortie 46 formé dans
l'axe X. Une cheminée axiale 47 débouche, en une première extrémité, au
sommet du dôme hémisphérique 45 via l'orifice 45. L'autre extrémité de la
cheminée axiale 47 est emmanchée à force sur la tige de valve 6.The operating
Le montage de l'organe d'actionnement 40 sur la frette (préalablement ou
postérieurement au montage de celle-ci sur le bidon 2) se fait en mettant les
ergots 42, 43, 44 en engagement avec les fenêtres 31, 32, 33, via les ouvertures
34, 35, 36, en prenant de soin de positionner angulairement la cheminée axiale 47
sur la tige de valve 6 de sorte que les ergots 42, 43, 44 soient au contact du bord
le plus en amont des fenêtres respectives 31, 32, 33 (figure 5A). Ainsi, dans cette
position, correspondant à une position de stockage ou de transport, l'organe
d'actionnement 40 ne peut pas être désolidarisé aisément de la frette 20,
notamment par une simple traction. The mounting of the actuating
Dans cette position de la figure 5A, une pression exercée axialement sur le
sommet du dôme 45, notamment lors de la mise en place du capuchon 60 (dont
on parlera plus en détail par la suite), est sans effet sur la tige de valve 6.In this position of FIG. 5A, a pressure exerted axially on the
top of the
Pour distribuer une dose de produit, l'utilisateur saisit le bidon 2 par sa partie
supérieure, en positionnant son pouce et son majeur en engagement avec la
portion de manoeuvre 41 de l'organe d'actionnement et en positionnant son index
au voisinage de l'orifice de sortie 46. Elle imprime un mouvement de rotation à
l'organe d'actionnement, autour de l'axe X. Ce faisant, et après avoir atteint les
rampes 38 formées par les fenêtres 31, 32, 33, les ergots 42, 43, 44 sont guidés
vers le bas en direction du bidon, ce qui provoque un mouvement axial de la tige
de valve 6. Lorsque les ergots 42, 43, 44 arrivent au voisinage du point le plus bas
des rampes 38 (figure 5B) la valve 5 s'ouvre et le produit remonte dans la tige de
valve 6 et dans le conduit tubulaire 47. Le produit, sous forme d'une crème, quitte
alors le dispositif via l'orifice 46 et peut être collecté sur l'index de l'utilisateur.To dispense a dose of product, the user grasps the
En relâchant la portion de manoeuvre 41 de l'organe d'actionnement, la force de
rappel du ressort de la valve fait remonter la tige de valve 6. Ce faisant, l'organe
d'actionnement 40, sous l'action des ergots 42, 43, 44 guidés le long des rampes
38, est entraíné en rotation dans le sens inverse au sens d'actionnement, et ce,
jusqu'à ce que les ergots 42, 43, 44 soient à nouveau au voisinage du bord le plus
amont des fenêtres 31, 32, 33.By releasing the operating
Après utilisation, l'utilisateur positionne le capuchon 60 sur la tête de distribution
10 par encliquetage de la gorge 61 et du bourrelet annulaire 26. Dans cette
position illustrée en coupe à la figure 4, une bille élastomérique 62 disposée,
notamment par encliquetage, dans un logement 63 formé sur la surface interne du
fond 64 du capuchon 60 est en appui élastique contre l'orifice de sortie 46.After use, the user positions the
Dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 6, le dispositif 1 comprend un récipient en
verre 70 dont un bord libre forme un bourrelet 71 délimitant une ouverture. La
pompe 72 est montée sur une coupelle 76 sertie sur le bourrelet 71. La pompe 72
est reliée à un tube plongeur 75 dont une extrémité libre est située sensiblement
au voisinage du fond du récipient 70. Du corps 73 de la pompe 72, à l'opposé du
tube plongeur 75, émerge une tige de pompe 74 sur laquelle est montée une tête
de distribution 10 similaire à celle discutée en référence aux figures 1-4 et 5A-5B,
à la différence près que l'angle de rotation de l'organe d'actionnement 40 est
supérieur à celui de l'organe d'actionnement 40 du mode de réalisation précédent,
en raison de la course d'actionnement de la pompe 72 plus longue que celle de la
valve 5.In the embodiment of Figure 6, the
Le dispositif, y compris son fonctionnement, est par ailleurs similaire en tous points à celui décrit en référence au mode de réalisation précédent, et par conséquent ne nécessite pas de description détaillée supplémentaire.The device, including its operation, is also similar in all points to that described with reference to the previous embodiment, and by therefore does not require additional detailed description.
Dans la description détaillée qui précède, il a été fait référence à des modes de réalisation préférés de l'invention. Il est évident que des variantes peuvent y être apportées sans s'écarter de l'esprit de l'invention telle que revendiquée ci-après.In the foregoing detailed description, reference has been made to modes of preferred embodiments of the invention. Obviously there may be variations made without departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed below.
