Abstract

1. An atomizer of the type comprising a cowling (1-2) surrounding the push-piece (13) of the atomizer with, in said cowling, a window (8) exposing the bearing surface of the push-piece for allowing driving-in said push-piece with a finger engaged in said window and a window diametrically opposite for the passage of the atomizer liquid jet, the push-piece being of revolution and rotatably mounted inside a housing formed in the fixed cowling surrounding said push-piece, characterized in that the bearing surface (20) of push-piece (13) is substantially perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the push-piece and has an angular development less than 90 degrees and that the window which can expose the push-piece bearing surface has an angular development such that a rotation of push-piece (13) inside cowling (1-2) due to a torque exerted on the portion of the surface of the push-piece which is visible through the window can bring in front of the window (8) either the push-piece bearing surface (20), or only the push-piece cylindrical smooth side surface.

Description

La présente invention concerne les vaporisateurs pour eaux de toilette, parfums, produits d'hygiène ou analogues dont le fonctionnement est contrôlé par un poussoir, qu'ils soient du type à vaporisation par gaz propulseur ou du type à vaporisation par pompe. Le fonctionnement de ce type de vaporisateur est assuré par une pression assurée sur le poussoir, éventuellement par des pressions successives s'il s'agit d'un vaporisateur dit à pompe.The present invention relates to sprays for toilet waters, perfumes, hygiene products or the like, the operation of which is controlled by a pusher, whether they are of the propellant vaporization type or of the pump vaporization type. The operation of this type of vaporizer is ensured by a pressure ensured on the pusher, possibly by successive pressures if it is a so-called pump vaporizer.

Pour éviter que le poussoir soit enfoncé accidentellement, on a proposé, dans la demande de brevet FR-83-07441 du 4 Mai 1983, de réaliser un capotage fixe entourant au moins le poussoir du vaporisateur avec, dans ce capotage fixe, au moins une fenêtre dégageant la surface du poussoir sur laquelle doit être exercée la pression pour permettre d'enfoncer ledit poussoir avec un doigt engagé dans ladite fenêtre. On a également proposé, dans cette demande de brevet, de réaliser le poussoir sous forme d'un élément coulissant guidé dans le capot et présentant un trou formant prise pour le doigt qui est susceptible d'être déplacé sur une distance égale à la course du poussoir, en face de la fenêtre du capotage.To prevent the pusher from being accidentally depressed, it has been proposed, in patent application FR-83-07441 of May 4, 1983, to produce a fixed casing surrounding at least the vaporizer pusher with, in this fixed casing, at least one window clearing the surface of the pusher on which the pressure must be exerted to allow infon cer said pusher with a finger engaged in said window. It has also been proposed, in this patent application, to produce the pusher in the form of a sliding element guided in the cover and having a hole forming a grip for the finger which is capable of being displaced over a distance equal to the stroke of the pusher, opposite the roll-over window.

Ce mode de réalisation antérieur du vaporisateur améliore largement la protection contre un fonctionnement accidentel, mais un tel fonctionnement accidentel reste encore possible suite à un accrochage à travers la fenêtre du trou de l'élément coulissant formant le poussoir.This previous embodiment of the vaporizer greatly improves the protection against accidental operation, but such accidental operation is still possible following a hooking through the window of the hole of the sliding element forming the pusher.

La présente invention a pour but d'éliminer complètement ce risque en n'autorisant la vaporisation qu'après au moins une manoeuvre de mise en service qui ne peut résulter que d'un acte volontaire.The present invention aims to completely eliminate this risk by authorizing spraying only after at least one start-up operation which can only result from a voluntary act.

On a déjà proposé dans US-A-3.702.668 et US-A-3.698.604 de protéger le poussoir de pulvérisation par un capot monté à rotation sur le sommet du récipient du liquide à pulvériser, ce capotage présentant des fenêtres qui, dans une orientation, dégagent l'accès au poussoir et un passage pour le jet de liquide pulvérisé. Dans US-A-3.702.668, le capotage est constitué par deux chemises cylindriques, la chemise intérieur étant fixe sur le récipient et la chemise extérieure concentrique montée à rotation , chaque chemise portant deux orifice diamétralement opposés qui doivent être amenés en coincidence pour permettre la pulvérisation. Du fait que dans ces deux modes de réalisation, c'est la surface extérieure du capotage qui est tournée pour autoriser l'usage du pulvérisateur et que cette surface comporte des arêtes et autres aspérités, il est nécessaire, pour éviter une rotation accidentelle, : de prévoir un moyen de verrouillage à la rotation de cette enveloppe extérieure, ce qui complique la réalisation. En outre, la présence des fenêtres dans cette enveloppe extérieure et la présence d'un joint entre cette enveloppe extérieure et le corps du pulvérisateur nuisent à l'aspect esthétique.It has already been proposed in US-A-3,702,668 and US-A-3,698,604 to protect the spray plunger by a cover rotatably mounted on the top of the container of the liquid to be sprayed, this cover having windows which, in an orientation, clear access to the pusher and a passage for the jet of sprayed liquid. In US-A-3,702,668, the cowling consists of two cylindrical liners, the inner liner being fixed on the container and the concentric outer liner rotatably mounted, each liner carrying two diametrically opposed orifices which must be brought into coincidence to allow spraying. Because in these two embodiments, it is the outer surface of the cowling which is turned to authorize the use of the sprayer and that this surface has ridges and other roughness, it is necessary, to avoid accidental rotation: to provide a locking means for the rotation of this outer envelope, which complicates the realization. In addition, the presence of windows in this outer casing and the presence of a seal between this outer casing and the body of the sprayer detracts from the aesthetic appearance.

Conformément à l'invention, dans un vaporisateur du type comportant un capotage entourant le poussoir du vaporisateur avec, dans ce capotage, au moins une fenêtre dégageant la face d'appui du poussoir pour permettre d'enfoncer ledit poussoir avec un doigt engagé dans ladite fenêtre et une fenêtre diamétralement opposée pour le passage du jet de liquide pulvérisé, le perfectionnement de l'invention consiste en ce que le poussoir qui comporte une surface d'appui de développement angulaire inférieur à 90° est de révolution et monté à rotation à l'intérieur d'un logement réalisé dans le capotage fixe entourant ledit poussoir, une rotation du poussoir à l'intérieur du capotage, par un couple exercé sur la partie de la surface du poussoir visible dans la fenêtre, amenant en face de la fenêtre, soit la surface d'appui du poussoir, soit la surface latérale lisse du poussoir.According to the invention, in a vaporizer of the type comprising a casing surrounding the pusher of the vaporizer with, in this casing, at least one window clearing the bearing face of the pusher to allow to push said pusher with a finger engaged in said window and a diametrically opposite window for the passage of the jet of sprayed liquid, the improvement of the invention consists in that the pusher which has a support surface with an angular development of less than 90 ° is of revolution and rotatably mounted at the inside a housing produced in the fixed casing surrounding said pusher, a rotation of the pusher inside the casing, by a torque exerted on the part of the surface of the pusher visible in the window, bringing in front of the window, either the bearing surface of the pusher or the smooth lateral surface of the pusher.

Selon une autre caractéristique, le poussoir est verrouillé contre un enfoncement longitudinal assurant le fonctionnement du vaporisateur pour toutes ses positions autres que la position d'utilisation. Cette disposition évite qu'une force de friction longitudinale puisse faire fonctionner le vaporisateur.According to another characteristic, the pusher is locked against a longitudinal depression ensuring the operation of the vaporizer for all its positions other than the position of use. This arrangement prevents a longitudinal friction force from operating the vaporizer.

Selon une autre caractéristique le poussoir est maintenu contre une rotation au moins en position de fermeture et éventuellement en position de pulvérisation par un encliquetage élastique.According to another characteristic, the pusher is held against rotation at least in the closed position and possibly in the spraying position by an elastic snap.

Selon une autre caractéristique le capotage est constitué par deux demi-capots à emboîtement étroit, l'ouverture du capotage pour donner accès au récipient contenant la charge de produit, soit pour le recharger, soit pour le changer, étant assurée par un effet de came entre une rampe solidaire du poussoir et une rampe solidaire de l'un des demi-capots. Cette caractéristique permet d'éviter l'ouverture du capotage, donc d'interdire l'accès au récipient et à son poussoir dégagé du capotage, par des enfants, notamment si la force de rotation à exercer est suffisamment élevée. Selon un mode de réalisation le poussoir rotatif comporte un emboîtement accessible à travers la fenêtre, cet emboîtement permettant d'exercer avec le doigt ou un outil le couple latéral d'ouverture du capotage.According to another characteristic, the cover is constituted by two half-covers with narrow interlocking, the opening of the cover to give access to the container containing the load. of product, either to recharge it or to change it, being ensured by a cam effect between a ramp secured to the pusher and a ramp secured to one of the half-covers. This characteristic makes it possible to avoid the opening of the cowling, therefore to prohibit access to the container and to its pusher released from the cowling, by children, in particular if the rotational force to be exerted is sufficiently high. According to one embodiment, the rotary pusher comprises an interlocking accessible through the window, this interlocking allowing the lateral opening torque of the cowling to be exerted with the finger or a tool.

D'autres caractéristiques du vaporisateur conforme à l'invention apparaîtront à la lecture de la description détaillée d'un vaporisateur pour salle de bain,cette description étant faite avec référence aux dessins ci-annexés dans lesquels :

  • La figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un mode de réalisation du vaporisateur pour salle de bain vu par l'avant dans la position de vaporisation; la figure 2 est une vue correspondante avec le vaporisateur en position de fermeture; la figure 3 est une vue en perspective des éléments internes du vaporisateur; la figure 4 est une vue en perspective par l'intérieur du demi-capot avant; les figures 5 à 7 illustrent, dans diverses positions, le système d'encliquetage et de came du poussoir.
Other characteristics of the vaporizer according to the invention will appear on reading the detailed description of a bathroom vaporizer, this description being made with reference to the attached drawings in which:
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the bathroom spray viewed from the front in the spray position; Figure 2 is a corresponding view with the vaporizer in the closed position; Figure 3 is a perspective view of the internal elements of the vaporizer; Figure 4 is a perspective view from the inside of the front half-cover; Figures 5 to 7 illustrate, in various positions, the snap and cam system of the pusher.

Dans les dessins la référence 1 désigne le demi-capot avant et 2 le demi-capot arrière. En coupe horizontale la partie centrale 3 est renflée en arc de cercle dans sa partie supérieure alors que les parties latérales 4 et la partie inférieure 5 correspondent à une section parallélipipédlque.In the drawings, the reference 1 designates the front half-cover and 2 the rear half-cover. In horizontal section, the central part 3 is swollen in an arc in its upper part, while the lateral parts 4 and the lower part 5 correspond to a parallelipiped section.

Les demi-capots comportent dans leur partie centrale inférieure une fenêtre 6, ces fenêtres permettant de voir le niveau dans le flacon de verre 7 logé entre les deux demi-capots. Au-dessus de la fenêtre 6, les flasques présentent une seconde fenêtre 8 qui est la fenêtre d'accès au poussoir de pulvérisation. Les deux demi-capots sont assemblés par un emboîtement à mi-épaisseur des bords mâle et femelle 9, le jeu 10 subsistant après assemblage étant aussi réduit que possible pour éviter la séparation par un effet de levier.The half-covers have in their lower central part a window 6, these windows making it possible to see the level in the glass bottle 7 housed between the two half-covers. Above window 6, the flanges have a second window 8 which is the access window to the spray pusher. The two half-covers are assembled by a mid-thickness interlocking of the male and female edges 9, the clearance 10 remaining after assembly is as small as possible to avoid separation by a lever effect.

Le flacon 7 a une forme correspondant à celle du capotage, sa hauteur étant telle que sa face supérieure 11 se trouve au niveau du bord supérieur de la fenêtre 6. Au centre de cette face est fixée la pompe à pression 12 qui peut également être une valve à pression connue si le liquide à vaporiser se trouve sous pression dans le flacon. Dans le cas d'une pompe, celle-ci peut être mise en place par vissage de la jupe sur un goulot fileté pour permettre le remplissage du flacon. Le poussoir 13 qui forme tête de pompe comporte un corps cylindrique avec dans sa base un emboîtement pour la tête 14 de la pompe et un canal se raccordant sur l'extrémité du tube de refoulement 15 et se terminant par un gicleur 16 dirige radialement sur le corps du poussoir. Une fente longitudinale 17 est prévue au droit du gicleur, cette fente coopérant avec une butée 18 sur la face interne du demi-capot 1 avant pour n'autoriser la descente du poussoir que lorsqu'il y a coincidence entre cette butée 18 et la fente 17, la butée 18 s'engageant pour les autres orientations du poussoir sous le bord inférieur de la jupe 19 à l'extrémité inférieure du poussoir 13. Le corps du poussoir comporte un trou diamétral 20 permettant d'y engager l'index et son diamètre est tel qu'il s'engage étroitement dans la partie supérieure du capotage comportant la fenêtre 8.The bottle 7 has a shape corresponding to that of the cover, its height being such that its upper face 11 is located at the upper edge of the window 6. In the center of this face is fixed the pressure pump 12 which can also be a known pressure valve if the liquid to be vaporized is under pressure in the bottle. In the case of a pump, it can be put in place by screwing the skirt onto a threaded neck to allow the bottle to be filled. The pusher 13 which forms the pump head comprises a cylindrical body with in its base a socket for the pump head 14 and a channel connecting to the end of the delivery tube 15 and ending in a nozzle 16 directed radially on the body of the pusher. A longitudinal slot 17 is provided to the right of the nozzle, this slot cooperating with a stop 18 on the internal face of the half-cover 1 before so as to authorize the descent of the pusher only when there is coincidence between this stop 18 and the slot 17, the stop 18 engaging for the other orientations of the pusher under the lower edge of the skirt 19 at the lower end of the pusher 13. The body of the pusher has a diametrical hole 20 making it possible to engage the index and its diameter is such that it engages closely in the upper part of the cowling comprising the window 8.

Le poussoir 13 peut être tourné en exerçant un couple sur sa surface périphérique entre deux positions principales, une position d'utilisation représentée aux figures 1 et 5 et une position de fermeture représentée aux figures 2 et 6. Dans la position d'utilisation, le trou 20 est aligné avec les fenêtres 8 des deux demi-capots 1 et 2, le gicleur 16 se trouve en face de la fenêtre 8 du demi-capot avant 1 et la fente 17 se trouve en face de la butée 18. Il est donc possible d'enfoncer le poussoir avec l'index engagé dans le trou 20 et de vaporiser ou pulvériser le liquide. Dans la position de fermeture (Fig 6), le trou 20 se trouve entre les deux demi-capots et la butée 18 est engagée sous la jupe 19 du poussoir. Pour maintenir le poussoir 13 dans ces deux positions, une patte élastique 21 peut être prévue sur la face latérale de la pompe 12, cette patte élastique s'engageant dans deux encoches 22-23 sur la périphérie de la paroi interne de la jupe 19 du poussoir, les positions de ces encoches correspondant aux deux positions principales ci-dessus.The pusher 13 can be turned by exerting a torque on its peripheral surface between two main positions, a position of use shown in Figures 1 and 5 and a closed position shown in Figures 2 and 6. In the position of use, the hole 20 is aligned with the windows 8 of the two half-covers 1 and 2, the nozzle 16 is in front of the window 8 of the front half-cover 1 and the slot 17 is in front of the stop 18. It is therefore possible to push the plunger with the index finger engaged in the hole 20 and spray or spray the liquid. In the closed position (Fig 6), the hole 20 is located between the two half-covers and the stop 18 is engaged under the skirt 19 of the pusher. To maintain the pusher 13 in these two positions, an elastic tab 21 can be provided on the lateral face of the pump 12, this elastic tab engaging in two notches 22-23 on the periphery of the internal wall of the skirt 19 of the pusher, the positions of these notches corresponding to the two main positions above.

Pour assurer l'ouverture du capotage une came 24 est réalisée à la hauteur de la jupe 19 du poussoir sur la face interne de la partie 3 du demi-capot arrière 2. La jupe 19, dans cette partie, est cylindrique sur la moitié de sa circonférence et est excentrée sur l'autre moitié, le rayon étant inférieur sur l'autre demi-circonférence 25 de la saillie de la came 24. Dans le mode de réalisation, en faisant tourner le poussoir 13 à partir de la position d'ouverture (Fig 5), dans le sens de la flêche F, la jupe 19 exerce une poussée sur la came 24, ce qui déboîte les emboîtements 9 des demi-capots 1 et 2.To ensure the opening of the cowling, a cam 24 is produced at the height of the skirt 19 of the pusher on the internal face of part 3 of the rear half-cover 2. The skirt 19, in this part, is cylindrical on half of its circumference and is eccentric on the other half, the radius being smaller on the other half-circumference 25 of the projection of the cam 24. In the embodiment, by rotating the pusher 13 from the position of opening (Fig 5), in the direction of arrow F, the skirt 19 pushes on the cam 24, which disengages the sockets 9 of the half-covers 1 and 2.
