Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sprinkler, especially for powdery or granular products comprising a container for the product, a closure pierced with orifices and, under the closure, a plate having a network of openings defined by fins raised on the side of the container and integral with said plate.
  • Patent FR 2 275 378 relates in particular to a sprinkler with a percussion system to prevent the slots in the cover from becoming blocked.
  • This system is on the one hand relatively sophisticated and therefore expensive and on the other hand, lends itself well to the distribution of products such as sugar and salt, but is unsatisfactory for the distribution of granular products with high fat content.
  • Patent 1,744,952 relates to a salt shaker used to reduce a stick of salt in granular form using a scraper. This device does not allow the distribution of granular products with a high fat content.
  • Patent DE 206 845 also relates to a salt shaker in which balls are arranged between the closure pierced with orifices and the plate with openings to avoid agglomeration of the salt under the effect of humidity. This device is complex and fairly expensive.
  • the sprinkler, object of the present invention allows a good distribution of fatty granular products and it is based on an inexpensive design.
  • this object is achieved in a sprinkler of the aforementioned type having the characteristic appearing in the characterizing part of claim 1.
  • orifices openings in the closure which have a shape and a size adapted to each specific product.
  • fins is meant that elements have been cut from the plate which remain integral with said plate and that all of these elements are then released outside the plane of said plate on the container side, these elements thus forming openings and allowing passage to the through said plate of the product so that it arrives at the orifices of the closure. It is understood that this closure can be protected by a cover or any other protection system.
  • the plate is made either in a metallic material, or in a plastic material.
  • the plate is arranged between the top of the container body and the closure, leaving a distance of the order of a centimeter with the plate. This plate is then removable, can be put in place if necessary and facilitates possible cleaning. It is firmly held in place by the closure and the container.
  • the plate is integral with the cover and distant from the orifices by a distance of the order of a centimeter.
  • the plate takes the form of the container, that is to say it can be circular, square, rectangular, oval or any other geometric shape allowing gripping on the part of the user.
  • the fins are generally distributed uniformly, for example in the form of a rosette and they preferably have substantially the shape of a trapezoid, triangle, semicircle, semi-ellipse or any other compatible shape.
  • the number of fins is not critical and they can be arranged both clockwise and counterclockwise.
  • the closure is secured to the body of the container either in force, or by screwing, or by a bayonet system.
  • the container 1 contains the material 2 to be sprinkled. It is surmounted by a closure 3 comprising orifices 4 and fins 5. These fins are formed from a disc 6 made of plastic material identical to that of the closure 3 and integral with the latter.
  • the cover 9 serves to protect the product while it is not being used.
  • the sprinkler is used in a conventional manner, that is, the closure 3 is forcibly engaged on the body of the container 1 and the assembly is inverted to sprinkle.
  • the mass of product 2 will not form a mass directly against the orifices 4, on the other hand will engage through the openings 7 thanks to the clearances of the fins 5 so as to arrive on said orifices 4.
  • the chamber 8 thus formed at the level of the head dispenser ensures good distribution of the product and avoids clogging of the orifices 4.
  • This provides a very efficient, inexpensive, easy-to-use sprinkler allowing dusting for any type of product, especially products with a high fat content, such as condiments, broths and products based on sugar and fat. .
