Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a plastic diffuser for a pressure vessel.
  • a plastic diffuser for pressure vessel comprising an annular skirt intended to be mounted on the mounting cup of the container valve and an axial outlet nozzle comprising a nozzle intended to bear on the axially sliding rod of the valve.
  • This nozzle has a wall substantially perpendicular to the nozzle which is connected to the annular skirt by a plastic hinge molded in one piece with this skirt and this nozzle. This wall is also connected to the skirt opposite the hinge by one or more shearable guarantee bridges during the first use of the diffuser.
  • the nozzle has on its side opposite the hinge a bearing surface projecting from the wall of the nozzle which allows the user to pivot the nozzle by bending the hinge and to push the valve stem to control the expulsion of the product contained in the pressure container.
  • this hinge is arranged in the plane of the wall which is substantially perpendicular to the nozzle.
  • the disadvantage of this embodiment lies in the fact, which has been observed by the applicant, that it is not possible to rotate at a sufficient angle, the assembly constituted by the nozzle and its wall, in an opposite direction to that which allows the actuation of the valve, in order to be able to access the space situated between the wall of the nozzle and the valve mounting cup, in order to be able to clean this space.
  • the latter must necessarily be substantially perpendicular to the axis of the nozzle, so that the user is forced to bend his finger and therefore to tighten it to press on this surface, while the other fingers keep the container under pressure.
  • the object of the present invention is to create a diffuser which overcomes all the aforementioned drawbacks, without its construction being more expensive than that of known embodiments.
  • this diffuser is characterized in that said wall of the nozzle which is substantially perpendicular thereto, is connected to the skirt by a relatively rigid tab housed in a recess formed in the skirt, the hinge being formed at the end of this tab which is opposite to the nozzle, this hinge being situated at a certain distance from the plane of said wall and in that the projecting bearing surface for actuating the valve is formed on the side of the nozzle which is adjacent to the hinge.
  • this surface no longer needs to be perpendicular to the axis of the nozzle, but it can be inclined towards the skirt, so that the user can rest on this surface laterally against the nozzle, without bending nor tighten his finger and in much more comfortable conditions than in the case of known embodiments.
  • the skirt has a shoulder intended to receive a cap to cover the nozzle and the hinge is situated at the level of this shoulder which is itself located substantially at mid-height of the skirt, the tab being square-shaped and having a part situated in the plane of said wall of the nozzle and a part which is parallel to the skirt, the external surface of this part being situated substantially in the extension of the internal face of the skirt.
  • the arrangement of the hinge is compatible with the installation of a cap to cover and protect the nozzle as well as the hinge and the bridges of shearable guarantee.
  • connection area between the shoulder of the skirt and the bracket-shaped tab constitutes an excellent location for the hinge because, in this area, the skirt is firmly held by the valve mounting cup on which this skirt is engaged, so that the hinge is not likely to move laterally when the bearing surface formed on the side of the nozzle is stressed.
  • Figure 6 is a view similar to Figure 5 showing the nozzle in the pivoted position and freeing the space below it and the upper part of the container.
  • the plastic diffuser 1 for container 2 under pressure containing for example a cream
  • the plastic diffuser 1 for container 2 under pressure comprises an annular skirt 3 snap-fitted on the mounting cup 4 of the valve 5 of the container and an axial nozzle 6 outlet of the product contained in the container 2, comprising a nozzle 7 bearing on the rod 8 with axial sliding of the valve 5.
  • This nozzle 6 has a disc-shaped wall 9 (see FIG. 2) perpendicular to the nozzle 6, which is connected to the annular skirt 9 by a hinge 10 made of plastic molded in one piece with this skirt 3 and this nozzle. 6.
  • the disc-shaped wall 9 covers substantially the entire width of the skirt 3 and is separated from the latter by a circular slot 11 (see FIG. 2). This wall 9 is also connected to the skirt 3 opposite the hinge 10 by two shearable guarantee bridges 12.
  • the nozzle 6 has on one of its sides a bearing surface 13 projecting from said wall 9 in the form of a disc which allows the user to pivot the nozzle 6 by bending the hinge 10 and push in the stem 8 of the valve 5.
  • the disk-shaped wall 9 of the nozzle 6 is connected to the skirt 3 by a relatively rigid tab 14, in the form of a square (see FIGS. 3 and 4) housed in a recess 15a formed in the skirt 3 (see Figures 1 and 2).
  • the hinge 10 is formed at the end 14a of the tab 14 which is opposite to the nozzle 6. In addition, this hinge 10 is situated substantially halfway up the skirt 3.
  • the projecting bearing surface 13 is formed on the side of the nozzle 6 which is adjacent to the hinge 10.
  • the skirt 3 has a shoulder 15 receiving a cap 16 which covers the nozzle 6 and that the hinge 10 is located at the level of this shoulder 15.
  • bracket-shaped tab 14 has a part 17 situated in the plane of the wall 9 in the form of a disc of the nozzle 6 and a part 18 which is parallel to the skirt. 3.
  • the external surface 18a of this part 18 is situated substantially in the extension of the internal face 3a of the skirt 3.
  • the external surface 18a of the part 18 of the square-shaped tab 14 is connected to the shoulder 15 of the skirt 3 by a rounded surface 19, while the end 14a of this part 18 of the tab is connected to the inner face 3a of the skirt 3 by a surface forming a right angle, the edge 20 of which is situated at the level of the shoulder 15.
  • the hinge 10 is therefore defined by a thin thickness of plastic material situated between the edge 20 and the rounded surface 19.
  • the user presses with his finger 21 (see FIG. 5) on the ribbed surface 13 formed on the side of the nozzle 6 to pivot the latter in the direction of the arrow F.
  • the nozzle 3 pivots around the hinge 10 which connects it to the skirt 3 causing the breaking of the guarantee bridges 12 which connected the wall 9 to the skirt 3 opposite the hinge 10.
  • the nozzle 7 of the latter pushes the rod 8 with axial sliding of the valve, which causes the expulsion of the product towards the nozzle 6, while ensuring a tightness of contact between the nozzle 7 and the valve stem 8.
  • the skirt 3 does not risk bending in the same direction, because it is firmly wedged against the edge of the mounting cup 4.
  • the nozzle 3 pivots around the hinge 10.
  • the latter taking into account its structure and its position at the level of the shoulder 15, is not liable to tear, even if the user pivots the nozzle 6 at a relatively large angle.
  • the diffuser according to the invention can be applied to all kinds of pressure vessels, containing any type of product to be diffused.
