Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dispensing cover intended to be associated with a conventional pressurized container of the "aerosol can" type.
  • the distribution covers known and used so far are generally made in two parts, one fixed, the other mobile.
  • the fixed part is formed by a cover body which is fixed, in particular by snap-fastening, on the associated pressurized container.
  • the movable part of the distribution covers is in the form of a push button arranged at least partially inside the cover body and cooperating with the outlet member of the ejection valve of the pressurized container.
  • the valve is most often arranged on a cup itself fixed by an annular crimping bead on the upper part of the container body.
  • the push button has, at its upper part, a tongue on which the user acts to cause the opening of the valve; at its lower part, it comprises a pipe bent at an angle, the axial branch of which comes to cooperate with the outlet member of the valve and the radial branch of which ends in an ejection nozzle placed in line with a window made in the side wall of the hood body.
  • Distribution covers of this kind can be produced either in one piece, or in two separate pieces, by plastic molding.
  • the push-button is, as a first possibility, articulated by means of a hinge coming from molding, relative to the fixed body of the cover.
  • This type of cover generally has an internal skirt coaxial with the external side wall of the cover body; the aforementioned skirt is provided with members, such as pins or a peripheral ring, allowing the snap-fastening of the cover body to the crimping bead of the valve-holder cup of the pressurized container.
  • the push button is no longer arti abutment relative to the cover body but is mounted to slide along the axis of the valve of the pressurized container, inside a central chimney formed in the cover body; on demolding, the push button in question is connected by breakable fasteners, coming from molding, to the wall of the hood body.
  • the above distribution covers raise two kinds of difficulty, one in molding, the other in the installation of the cover on the associated pressurized container.
  • the presentation covers especially if they are molded in one piece, have a complex configuration requiring molds which are expensive to manufacture and which complicate the demolding operations.
  • most of the current distribution covers do not lend themselves, due to their design, to an automatic installation, almost without manual intervention, on pressurized containers.
  • the present invention aims to remedy the aforementioned double drawback; to this end, it proposes to describe a distribution cover in two molded parts, of particularly simple shape allowing both a saving of raw material compared to conventional distribution covers, and a simple and rapid installation - able to make subject to extensive mechanization - on a pressurized container.
  • the movable push button which constitutes a separate part from the hood body, is articulated to a sleeve which is fitted inside the hood body.
  • the fixed part of the cover according to the invention therefore consists of two elements: on the one hand, the cover body and, on the other hand, the sleeve which is embedded therein and on which the push button is articulated.
  • the present invention therefore relates to a dispensing cover intended to be associated with a pressurized container of the "aerosol-can" type, this cover being produced in two parts, one fixed and the other mobile, the fixed part comprising a cover body provided with means ensuring its maintenance relative to the pressurized container, the movable part of the dispensing cover being formed by a cooperating push button with the outlet member of the ejection valve of the associated container, said push button comprising an ejection nozzle and a pipe bringing the valve outlet member into communication with said nozzle, a window being formed in the side wall of the cover body to the right of the push button ejection nozzle, characterized in that the fixed part of the dispensing cover also includes a sleeve swiveled inside the cover body, the push button being articulated to the aforementioned sleeve, said sleeve coming substantially to bear on an element of the pressurized container, means being provided for ensuring the angular positioning of the cover body relative to the sle
  • the element of the pressurized container on which the sleeve is supported advantageously consists of the annular bead for crimping the valve-carrying cup of said container.
  • the sleeve and the associated push button are made in one piece by molding of plastic material, the push button being articulated to the sleeve by means of a hinge coming from molding; on demolding, the push button is kept fixed relative to the sleeve by means of at least one breakable fastener coming from molding; the push button is substantially disposed inside the volume delimited by the sleeve.
  • the sleeve of the dispensing cover according to the invention is centered inside the cover body. It comprises, seen from the outside, on the one hand, two opposite concave parts intended to come to bear on the crimping bead of the valve-holder cup and, on the other hand, two convex parts in a semicircle having the same radius and diametrically opposite, the outside diameter of the two aforementioned convex parts being substantially equal, apart from play, to the inside diameter of the cylindrical side wall of the cover body.
  • the latter internally comprises members ensuring the guidance of the push button in a plane passing through the sliding axis of the outlet member of the valve and substantially perpendicular to the axis of the articulation hinge.
  • the aforementioned guide members are preferably constituted by two wings between which the push button engages, the two aforementioned wings being arranged on either side of the window of the hood body, to the right of which is disposed the push button ejection nozzle.
  • members making it possible to limit the movement of the push button around its articulation hinge, in the opposite direction to that which corresponds to the opening of the valve of such organs consist of at least one lateral stop secured to the push button and intended to cooperate with the lower edge of a guide wing of the hood body.
  • the opening made in the upper wall of the cover body to allow the actuation of the push button which is housed therein is closed, before the first use of the assembly formed by the distribution cover and the associated pressurized container, by a tamper-evident plate connected by breakable fasteners, molded.
  • the user is then certain that the assembly which he acquires has not been operated or at least still contains all of the product to be dispensed, packaged by the manufacturer in the pressurized container; on the other hand, the fracture or the tearing of the tamper-evident plate means that the push button associated with the valve has been operated at least once and that the container has therefore been subjected to a prior use.
  • the tamper-evident plate is provided in its central zone with a deformable pre-cut tab enabling the push-button housed inside the hood body to be operated in the factory, for the purpose of verifying the proper functioning of the 'together.
  • the cover body is snapped onto the pressurized container and ensures support of the sleeve on the crimping bead of the valve-holder cup of said container.
  • the side wall of the cover body advantageously comprises a discontinuous rod which snaps inside a peripheral groove provided on the body of the pressurized container.
  • the body of the associated pressurized container is preferably made in one piece by spinning a metal pellet, for example aluminum, and subsequent forming of the upper part of the container body in a warhead, a valve cup being then crimped on the upper part of the container body.
  • the peripheral groove for attaching the hood body is formed on the pressurized container in the connection area of the warhead with the cylindrical side wall of the container body.
  • the cover according to this first embodiment can also be hung on all types of existing pressurized containers such as so-called “two-piece” or “three-piece” containers, insofar as these containers have on their wall lateral a peripheral groove where the discontinuous rod of the hood body is snapped in.
  • the means allowing the angular positioning of the cover body relative to the sleeve simultaneously ensure that the sleeve rests on the crimping bead of the valve-holder cup of the associated container.
  • the aforementioned means advantageously comprise at least one lug provided in relief on the inner side wall of the cover body and at least one notch formed on the sleeve and intended to receive the aforementioned lug.
  • the sleeve comprises, in this first embodiment, members ensuring its pre-centering with respect to the valve-holder cup of the associated pressurized container.
  • the pre-centering members advantageously consist of two pins substantially parallel to the axis of the sleeve and projecting from the two concave parts of said sleeve, the two aforementioned studs fitting inside the valve holder cup of the associated pressurized container.
  • the push-button is kept fixed relative to the sleeve by means of at least one breakable fastener coming from molding, so that the flotation of the two pre-centering members inside the valve holder cup automatically cause the axial channeling of the push button to cooperate with the valve outlet member, without risk of inadvertent opening of the valve, because the sleeve by coming into abutment against the crimping bead of the valve-holder cup, limits the push-in movement of the push-button on said valve.
  • the cover body which is snapped onto the body of the pressurized container, serves in particular to keep the sleeve in abutment against the valve-carrying cup of said container.
  • Such an assembly method therefore requires means for fixing the cover body to the pressurized container and in particular, the presence of a peripheral hooking groove on the side wall of the pressurized container.
  • the assembly formed by the push button and the associated sleeve constitutes an independent part of the cover body.
  • a new method of hooking the cover according to the invention is provided, allowing it to be fixed to most existing pressurized containers with or without a peripheral groove on their side wall, the distribution cover advantageously constituting, before mounting on a pressurized container, a pre-assembled assembly in which the cover body is fixed to the associated sleeve.
  • the sleeve comprises means allowing its attachment to the crimping bead of the valve holder cup of the pressurized container.
  • the coupling means of the sleeve preferably comprise at least two forks inside which the crimping bead of the valve holder cup engages.
  • the two attachment forks are substantially symmetrical with respect to the axis of the sleeve, the inner wings of said forks cooperating with the inner peripheral wall of the crimping bead of the valve holder cup.
  • the outer wing of each attachment fork has a curved profile substantially matching the convex curved profile of the crimping bead and ends in a ring which snaps inside a peripheral groove formed in the connection zone of the crimping bead with the body of the pressurized container, when the sleeve is substantially supported on said crimping bead.
  • the sleeve is snapped onto the crimping bead of the valve holder cup of the pressurized container.
  • the cover body therefore no longer has the function of keeping the sleeve in abutment on the crimping bead of the valve-holder cup and it can be fixed either on the body of the pressurized container or on the sleeve.
  • the hood body is snapped onto the sleeve.
  • the side wall of the cover body advantageously comprises at least one internal notch cooperating with the peripheral edge of the sleeve which comes to bear on the crimping bead of the valve-holder cup, when the opposite peripheral edge of the sleeve comes substantially in abutment against an element secured to the hood body.
  • the two guide wings of the cover body engage inside two notches formed on the convex curved parts of the sleeve and advantageously constitute the element of the cover body against which the sleeve is substantially abutted.
  • cover according to the invention can cooperate, depending on the shape of the end concerned of the push button, either with a valve with an emerging stem, or with a valve without an emerging stem.
  • the present invention also relates to an assembly formed by a pressurized container of the "aerosol can" type and by a distribution cover as defined above.

  • the cover body 210 is then presented above the pressurized container, the cover body 210 being angularly oriented relative to the sleeve 230 so that the ends of the two guide wings 216 can penetrate inside the two notches 233, 234 of the sleeve; the cover body 210 is then force-fitted onto the sleeve 230 to allow the latter to be crossed by the two hooking notches 212 of the cover body; this driving-in movement is continued until the lower edge of the sleeve comes to bear on the two hooking notches 212 and the ends 216a, 216b of the two guide wings 216 abut against the bottom of the two notches 233, 234 of the sleeve.
  • the cover body 210 is then fixed to the sleeve which is itself snapped onto the crimping bead of the valve holder cup.
  • the sleeve 230 and its push button 220 attached to the inside of the cover body 210 are fixed, then this assembly is snapped onto the crimping bead of the pressurized container.
