Description

Dispositif applicateur d'un matériau poudreux comportant un réservoir formant poussoir, rechargeable et à nettoyage aisé, utilisable notamment pour le maquillage.Device for applying a powdery material comprising a reservoir forming a pusher, rechargeable and easy to clean, usable in particular for make-up.
La présente invention concerne essentiellement un dispo- sitif applicateur d'un matériau poudreux comportant un réservoir formant poussoir, rechargeable et à nettoyage aisé, utilisable notamment pour le maquillage.The present invention essentially relates to an applicator device for a powdery material comprising a reservoir forming a pusher, rechargeable and easy to clean, usable in particular for make-up.
On connaît déjà divers dispositifs applicateurs. d'un matériau poudreux, en particulier de poudre pigmentée pour le maquillage.Various applicator devices are already known. a powdery material, in particular pigmented powder for makeup.
Ainsi, le document DE-A1-3 006 463 décrit un dispositif applicateur d'un matériau poudreux comprenant un élément formant boîtier 1, comprenant une partie formant réservoir définissant une réserve de matériau poudreux. L'élément formant boîtier est pourvu à une extrémité d'un élément de fermeture 16 supportant une touffe 22 ou faisceau de poils ou fils F. Le réservoir comporte une ouver¬ ture 17 de communication au moins temporaire entre la cavité et ladite touffe F, habituellement obturée par un élément d'obturation 18 formant clapet actionné à l'ouverture ou à la fermeture à l'aide d'un organe formant poussoir 8,9 solidaire dudit élément d'obtura¬ tion, monté déplaçable par rapport au boîtier 1 et accessible à l'usager.Thus, document DE-A1-3 006 463 describes a device for applying a powdery material comprising a housing element 1, comprising a part forming a reservoir defining a reserve of powdery material. The element forming a housing is provided at one end with a closing element 16 supporting a tuft 22 or bundle of bristles or wires F. The reservoir comprises an opening 17 for at least temporary communication between the cavity and said tuft F, usually closed by a shutter element 18 forming a valve actuated when opening or closing using a pusher member 8.9 secured to said shutter element, mounted movable relative to the housing 1 and accessible to the user.
Un tel dispositif connu est réalisé d'une manière intégrée, non démontable de manière à former une unité jetable et non pas rechargeable.Such a known device is made in an integrated manner, not removable so as to form a disposable unit and not rechargeable.
Or, le besoin se fait de plus en plus sentir de réaliser des dispositifs à caractère rechargeable de manière à abaisser les coûts de fabrication et par voie concomitante le. prix d'achat d'un tel dispositif par l'usager. Ce dispositif ne permet pas une distribution régulière dans la touffe, ce qui nécessite de secouer le dispositif et risque de causer des projectionspréjudiciables.However, the need is felt more and more to produce devices of a rechargeable nature so as to lower the manufacturing costs and concomitantly. purchase price of such a device by the user. This device does not allow regular distribution in the tuft, which requires shaking the device and risks causing harmful projections.
En outre, un autre inconvénient de ce type de dispositif connu réside dans le fait qu'il n'est pas possible d'utiliser le même dispositif applicateur pour des teintes différentes de matériau poudreux alors que la clientèle recherche de plus en plus la possi¬ bilité de changer de teinte en cours d'utilisation sans avoir à acheter de nouveaux dispositifs applicateurs complets, en particulier en raison de leur prix.In addition, another drawback of this type of known device lies in the fact that it is not possible to use the same applicator device for different shades of powdery material while customers are increasingly looking for the possi¬ ability to change shade while in use without buying new full applicator devices, especially because of their price.
En outre, pour permettre un changement de teinte en cours d'utilisation, ou pour un nettoyage pour diminuer les souillures dues au contact avec la peau, il faut pouvoir nettoyer facilement entièrement le dispositif. La distribution du matériau doit être aussi régulièrement dosée.In addition, to allow a change of shade during use, or for cleaning to reduce soiling due to contact with the skin, it is necessary to be able to easily completely clean the device. The distribution of the material must also be dosed regularly.
La présente invention a pour but principal de résoudre le nouveau problème- technique consistant en une distribution essentiellement uniforme du matériau poudreux dans les poils ou fils constituant la touffe et en la délivrance d'une dose relativement régulière de matériau poudreux, tout en évitant tout colmatage.The main object of the present invention is to solve the new technical problem consisting in an essentially uniform distribution of the powdery material in the bristles or threads constituting the tuft and in the delivery of a relatively regular dose of powdery material, while avoiding any clogging. .
La présente invention a aussi pour but principal de résoudre le problème technique consistant en la fourniture d'un dispositif applicateur d'un matériau poudreux ayant un caractère rechargeable. La présente invention a encore pour but principal de résoudre le'problème technique constitué par la fourniture d'un dispositif applicateur d'un matériau poudreux d'un nettoyage aisé de manière à permettre un changement de teinte en cours d'utilisation par l'insertion d'une nouvelle recharge contenant un matériau poudreux de teinte différente.The main object of the present invention is also to solve the technical problem consisting in providing a device for applying a powdery material having a rechargeable character. The present invention further primary purpose of to solve the technical problem consisting of providing a device for applying a powdery material of being easily cleaned so as to allow a change in current hue of use by inserting the of a new refill containing a powdery material of different shade.
Tous ces problèmes techniques sont résolus pour la première fois simultanément par la présente invention, d'une manière tout à fait inattendue et non évidente.All these technical problems are solved for the first time simultaneously by the present invention, in a completely unexpected and not obvious manner.
La présente invention fournit donc un dispositif applica- teur d'un matériau poudreux, en particulier de poudre pigmentée pour le maquillage,, comprenant un élément formant boîtier, par exemple de forme sensiblement cylindrique, comprenant une partie formant réser¬ voir définissant une cavité de réserve de matériau poudreux, ledit élément formant boîtier étant pourvu à une extrémité d'un élément de fermeture supportant une touffe ou faisceau de poils ou fils, ledit réservoir comportant une ouverture de communication au moins temporaire entre ladite cavité et ladite touffe, habituellement obturée par un élément d'obturation formant clapet actionné à l'ouverture ou à la fermeture à l'aide d'un organe formant poussoir solidaire dudit élément d'obturation, monté déplaçable par rapport au boîtier et accessible à l'usager, caractérisé en ce que ledit organe formant poussoir est formé par ledit réservoir qui est monté déplaçable relativement audit boîtier, en présentant une partie accessible de l'extérieur, en étant en saillie relativement au boîtier. Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, le réservoir est solidarisé de manière démontable à une pièce intermédiaire montée déplaçable à l'intérieur du boîtier et à laquelle est solidarisé l'élément formant clapet.The present invention therefore provides a device for applying a powdery material, in particular pigmented powder for make-up, comprising a housing element, for example of substantially cylindrical shape, comprising a portion forming a reservoir defining a cavity reserve of powder material, said housing member being provided at one end of e closure element supporting a tuft or bristle or son beam, said reservoir having a communication opening at least temporarily between said cavity and said tuft, usually obturated by a shutter element forming a valve actuated at opening or closing by means of a pusher member integral with said shutter element, mounted movable relative to the housing and accessible to the user, characterized in that that said pusher member is formed by said reservoir which is mounted movable relative to said housing, having a part accessible from the outside, being projecting relative to the housing. According to a preferred embodiment, the reservoir is detachably secured to an intermediate piece mounted to move inside the housing and to which the valve member is secured.
Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, l'élément formant clapet comprend une tige solidaire de ladite pièce intermédiaire, dont une extrémité comporte ledit clapet proprement dit, ladite tige étant prévue d'une longueur suffisante pour avoir son extrémité libre opposée à celle comportant ledit clapet accessible de l'extérieur lorsque le réservoir est démonté. Selon une caractéristique avantageuse de l'invention, la tige précitée comporte des moyens d'agitation mécaniques à sa périphérie sur au moins une partie de sa longueur. De préférence, ces moyens d'agitation mécaniques comprennent des épaulements radia- lement saillants, avantageusement formés par un filetage, en obtenant ainsi un effet mécanique de brassage du matériau poudreux.According to a particular embodiment, the valve member comprises a rod integral with said intermediate piece, one end of which comprises said valve itself, said rod being provided with a length sufficient to have its free end opposite to that comprising said valve. accessible from the outside when the tank is removed. According to an advantageous characteristic of the invention, the aforementioned rod comprises mechanical stirring means at its periphery over at least part of its length. Preferably, these mechanical stirring means comprise radially projecting shoulders, advantageously formed by a thread, thereby obtaining a mechanical effect of stirring the powdery material.
Selon un mode de réalisation particuler, la pièce inter¬ médiaire est située dans le boîtier à une certaine distance de l'élément d'obturation en définissant ainsi une chambre intermédiaire de répartition du uiatériru poudreux. Cette pièce intermédiaire est avantageusement repoussée en direction oppcsée à l'élément d'obtu¬ ration par un moyen de rappel élastique.According to a particular embodiment, the intermediate piece is located in the housing at a certain distance from the shutter element, thereby defining an intermediate chamber for distributing the powdery uiatériu. This intermediate piece is advantageously pushed back in the oppox direction to the obtu¬ ration element by an elastic return means.
Selon un mode de réalisation particulier du dispositif selon l'invention, le boîtier précité est réalisé en au moins deux parties solidarisables entre elles, renflées ou bombées vers l'extérieur à plan de joint passant par lesdites parties renflées ou bombées, ledit réservoir présentant aussi une partie renflée ou bombée correspondante de manière à ce que l'une des parties renflées serve de moyen de verrouillage du réservoir en place.According to a particular embodiment of the device according to the invention, the aforementioned housing is made of at least two parts which can be joined together, swollen or curved outwards with a joint plane passing through said swollen or curved parts, said tank also having a corresponding bulged or domed part so that one of the bulged parts serves as a means for locking the reservoir in place.
Selon une variante de réalisation, le réservoir peut être simplement clipsé ou emboîté sur la partie intermédiaire.According to an alternative embodiment, the reservoir can be simply clipped or fitted on the intermediate part.
Selon une autre variante de réalisation, l'élément d'obturation peut être réalisé monobloc avec la première pièce renflée. Egalement, l'élément d'obturation peut présenter une forme d'entonnoir et être réalisé démontable relativement au boîtier. On comprendra ainsi que, lors de l'application d'une poussée sur le réservoir, on produira un effet de souffle dans celui-ci et le cas échéant dans la chambre intermédiaire de répar¬ tition, ce qui permettra de réaliser une agitation du matériau pou- dreux évitant les blocages et une meilleure répartition de celui-ci, rendant possible une distribution sensiblement uniforme de matériau poudreux dans les poils, la délivrance d'une dose relativement régu¬ lière de matériau poudreux, évitant la présence d'un excès de maté¬ riau poudreux dans la touffe de poils et de souillures des objets divers par perte et/ou projection.According to another alternative embodiment, the closure element can be made in one piece with the first bulged part. Also, the closure element may have a funnel shape and be made removable relative to the housing. It will thus be understood that, during the application of a thrust on the reservoir, a blast effect will be produced therein and if necessary in the intermediate distribution chamber, which will make it possible to agitate the material. powdery avoiding blockages and a better distribution thereof, making possible a substantially uniform distribution of powdery material in the hair, the delivery of a relatively regular dose of powdery material, avoiding the presence of an excess of powdery material in the tuft of hair and soils of various objects by loss and / or projection.
On évite également ainsi tout colmatage. D'autre part, par le caractère démontable du réservoir, ce dispositif présente un caractère rechargeable, ce qui permet d'en réduire les coûts de fabrication et le prix. En outre, par le fait que l'élément formant clapet comprend une tige qui est accessible de l'extérieur lorsque le réservoir est démonté, on peut nettoyer facilement ce dispositif dans sa totalité, ce qui permet un changement de teinte en cours d'utilisation, 'sans " aucune limitation. Enfin, par la prévision de moyens d'agitation sur la tige, on obtient encore un effet mécanique de brassage en évitant encore tout colmatage.This also prevents clogging. On the other hand, by the removable nature of the tank, this device has a rechargeable nature, which makes it possible to reduce the manufacturing costs and the price. In addition, by the fact that the valve element comprises a rod which is accessible from the outside when the tank is dismantled, this device can be easily cleaned in its entirety, which allows a change of shade during use. , ' without "no limitation. Finally, by providing means of agitation on the rod, a mechanical stirring effect is still obtained while still preventing any clogging.
L'invention apporte donc des avantages techniques multiples, inattendus et non évidents pour un homme du métier. L'utilisation préférée du dispositif applicateur de matériau poudreux selon l'invention concerne l'application de poudre pigmentée pour le maquillage, donc dans le domaine cosmétique. On peut citer à ce sujet le maquillage des joues, des paupières, mais d'autres applications sont naturellement envisageables sans sortir du cadre de l'invention. L'invention sera maintenant décrite plus en détail en référence aux dessins annexés représentant deux modes de réalisa¬ tion actuellement préférés de l'invention, donnés simplement à titre d'illustration et qui ne sauraient donc en aucune façon li i- ter la portée de l'invention.The invention therefore provides multiple technical advantages, unexpected and not obvious to a person skilled in the art. The preferred use of the powdery material applicator device according to the invention relates to the application of pigmented powder for make-up, therefore in the cosmetic field. Mention may be made on this subject of make-up of the cheeks, of the eyelids, but other applications are naturally possible without departing from the scope of the invention. The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings showing two presently preferred embodiments of the invention, given simply by way of illustration and which therefore cannot in any way limit the scope of the invention.
Dans les dessins : la figure 1 représente un premier mode de réalisation d'un dispositif applicateur d'un matériau poudreux selon la présente invention, en coupe longitudinale axiale, plus particulièrement adapté au maquillage des paupières; la figure 2 est une vue en coupe selon la ligne de trace II-II de la figure 1 ; et la figure 3 est une vue en coupe longitudinale axiale d'un deuxième mode de réalisation d'un dispositif applicateur selon l'in- vention, plus particulièrement adapté au maquillage du visage.In the drawings: FIG. 1 represents a first embodiment of a device for applying a powdery material according to the present invention, in axial longitudinal section, more particularly suitable for making up the eyelids; Figure 2 is a sectional view along the line of trace II-II of Figure 1; and FIG. 3 is a view in axial longitudinal section of a second embodiment of an applicator device according to the invention, more particularly suitable for making up the face.
En référence aux figures 1 et 2, un dispositif applicateur selon l'invention, représenté par le numéro de référence général 1, d'un matériau poudreux 2, en particulier de poudre pigmentée pour le maquillage, comprend un élément formant boîtier 4, comprenant une partie formant réservoir 6 définissant une cavité 8 de réserve de matériau poudreux 2. Le boîtier 4 peut être de forme sensiblement cylindrique, comme représenté, ou d'une forme quelconque.With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, an applicator device according to the invention, represented by the general reference number 1, of a powdery material 2, in particular of pigmented powder for make-up, comprises a housing element 4, comprising a reservoir forming part 6 defining a cavity 8 for reserving powdery material 2. The housing 4 may be of substantially cylindrical shape, as shown, or of any shape.
Cet élément formant boîtier 4 est pourvu à une extrémité 4a d'un élément de fermeture 10 supportant une touffe 12 ou faisceau de poils ou fils. Le réservoir 6 comprend une ouverture 14 de communica¬ tion au moins temporaire entre la cavité 8 et la touffe 12, habituel¬ lement obturée par un élément d'obturation 16 formant clapet 18 actionné à l'ouverture ou à la fermeture à l'aide d'un organe formant poussoir 20 solidaire de l'élément d'obturation 16, monté déplaçable relativement au boîtier et accessible à l'usager.This housing element 4 is provided at one end 4a with a closure element 10 supporting a tuft 12 or bundle of bristles or wires. The reservoir 6 comprises an opening 14 for at least temporary communication between the cavity 8 and the tuft 12, usually closed by a closure element 16 forming a valve 18 actuated at the opening or at the closing using a pusher member 20 integral with the closure element 16, mounted movable relative to the housing and accessible to the user.
Selon la présente invention, ce dispositif est caractérisé en ce que l'organe formant poussoir 20 est formé par le réservoir 6 qui est monté déplaçable relativement au boîtier 4, avantageusement en présentant une partie en saillie 6a relativement au boîtier 4, accessible de l'extérieur, comme cela est clairement visible à la figure 1. Naturellement, le réservoir 6 est monté déplaçable entre une position de repos pour laquelle le clapet 18 est fermé et une position d'ouverture où le clapet libère l'ouverture et permet ainsi une distribution d'une dose de matériau poudreux. Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, le réservoir 6 est solidarisé de manière démontable à une pièce intermédiaire 22 montée déplaçable à l'intérieur du boîtier 4 et à laquelle est solidarisée l'élément formant clapet 16, comme cela est clairement visible à la figure 1. On observera que l'élément formant clapet 16 comprend une tige 17 solidaire de la pièce intermédiaire, par exemple en y étant fixée par filetage dans un orifice correspondant 24, ici réalisé axial. Une extrémité de la tige 17 comporte le clapet 18 proprement dit. Cette tige 17 est prévue selon l'invention d'une longueur suffi- santé pour avoir son extrémité libre 17a, opposée à celle 17b compor¬ tant le clapet 18, accessible de l'extérieur lorsque le réservoir est démonté, avantageusement en étant disposée en saillie relativement au boîtier 4, comme représenté.According to the present invention, this device is characterized in that the pusher member 20 is formed by the reservoir 6 which is movably mounted relative to the housing 4, advantageously by having a projecting part 6a relative to the housing 4, accessible from the exterior, as clearly seen in Figure 1. Naturally, the reservoir 6 is mounted movable between a rest position for which the valve 18 is closed and an open position where the valve releases the opening and thus allows a dose of powdery material to be dispensed. According to a preferred embodiment, the reservoir 6 is fixed in a detachable manner to an intermediate piece 22 mounted to move inside the housing 4 and to which the valve element 16 is made integral, as is clearly visible in FIG. 1 It will be observed that the valve member 16 comprises a rod 17 integral with the intermediate piece, for example by being fixed there by thread in a corresponding orifice 24, here made axial. One end of the rod 17 comprises the valve 18 proper. This rod 17 is provided according to the invention of a length sufficient for health to have its free end 17a, opposite to that 17b comprising the valve 18, accessible from the outside when the reservoir is dismantled, advantageously being arranged in projection relative to the housing 4, as shown.
Selon une caractéristique avantageuse de l'invention, la tige 17 comporte des moyens d'agitation mécaniques 26 à sa périphé¬ rie, sur au moins une partie de sa longueur, de préférence dans la partie de la tige située à l'intérieur du réservoir 6. Ces moyens d'agitation comprennent avantageusement des épaulements radialement saillants qui, pour une simplicité de fabrication, peuvent être constitués par un filetage 27.According to an advantageous characteristic of the invention, the rod 17 comprises mechanical stirring means 26 at its periphery, over at least part of its length, preferably in the part of the rod located inside the tank. 6. These stirring means advantageously comprise radially projecting shoulders which, for simplicity of manufacture, can be constituted by a thread 27.
On obtient ainsi un effet mécanique de brassage du matériau poudreux contenu dans le réservoir 6.This gives a mechanical effect of mixing the powdery material contained in the reservoir 6.
Selon une caractéristique préférée de l'invention, la pièce intermédiaire 22 est située dans le boîtier 4 à une certaine distance de l'élément 10 de fermeture du boîtier 4, en définissant ainsi une chambre intermédiaire 28 de répartition du matériau poudreux.According to a preferred characteristic of the invention, the intermediate part 22 is located in the housing 4 at a certain distance from the element 10 for closing the housing 4, thereby defining an intermediate chamber 28 for distributing the powdery material.
On observera, comme mentionné précédemment, que le dépla¬ cement du réservoir 6 produit un effet de souffle réalisant une agitation du matériau poudreux, par la réduction du volume occupé notamment par la chambre intermédiaire 28. Ceci procure les avan¬ tages techniques précédemment énoncés. Naturellement, la pièce intermédiaire 22 comprend des orifices traversants 30 que l'on voit bien à la figure 2, de manière à faire communiquer la cavité 8 avec la chambre intermédiaire 28 et l'élément de fermeture 10 coopérant avec l'élément formant clapet 16. On observera que la pièce intermédiaire 22 est pourvue d'un dispo¬ sitif anti-rotation en prévoyant un système d'épaulement radialement interne 32 coopérant avec des rainures 34 réalisées dans la pièce intermédiaire, en servant également de butée d'enfoncement de la pièce intermédiaire. En outre, la pièce intermédiaire 22 est repoussée dans la direction opposée au clapet 18 par un moyen de rappel élas¬ tique 38.It will be observed, as mentioned previously, that the displacement of the reservoir 6 produces a blast effect effecting agitation of the powdery material, by reducing the volume occupied in particular by the intermediate chamber 28. This provides the technical advantages previously stated. Naturally, the intermediate part 22 comprises through orifices 30 which can be seen clearly in FIG. 2, so as to make the cavity 8 communicate with the intermediate chamber 28 and the closing element 10 cooperating with the valve element 16 It will be observed that the intermediate piece 22 is provided with an anti-rotation device by providing a radially internal shoulder system 32 cooperating with grooves 34 made in the intermediate piece, also serving as a driving-in stop for the intermediate piece. In addition, the intermediate part 22 is pushed back in the direction opposite to the valve 18 by an elastic return means 38.
Le réservoir 6 est monté ici démontable relativement à la pièce intermédiaire en y étant solidarisé par des parties filetées correspondantes 40. Selon ce mode de réalisation, l'élément de fermeture 10 est également monté de manière démontable à l'intérieur du boîtier 4 en comportant des rainures 44 coopérant avec des bossages inté¬ rieurs 46, comme cela est classique.The reservoir 6 is mounted here removable relative to the intermediate piece by being secured to it by corresponding threaded parts 40. According to this embodiment, the closure element 10 is also mounted in a removable manner inside the housing 4 comprising grooves 44 cooperating with interior bosses 46, as is conventional.
Avantageusement, l'élément de fermeture 10 présente une forme d'entonnoir comportant une partie cylindrique relativement importante aboutissant dans une zone médiane de la touffe de poils 12, de manière à distribuer le matériau poudreux vers le centre de cette touffe.Advantageously, the closure element 10 has a funnel shape comprising a relatively large cylindrical part terminating in a central region of the tuft of bristles 12, so as to distribute the powdery material towards the center of this tuft.
Le fonctionnement de ce dispositif est clairement apparent à l'homme du métier et résulte de la description précédente. On com¬ prend que lors d'une poussée sur le réservoir 6, on va réaliser une ouverture du clapet 18 qui est solidaire de la pièce intermédiaire 22 à laquelle le réservoir lui-même est solidarisé.The operation of this device is clearly apparent to those skilled in the art and results from the preceding description. We understand that during a push on the tank 6, we will make an opening of the valve 18 which is secured to the intermediate piece 22 to which the reservoir itself is secured.
Cette poussée va donner un effet de souffle à l'intérieur du réservoir 6 en réalisant une agitation du matériau poudreux, tout en aboutissant à une distribution d'une dose de poudre par le clapet 18, cette dose étant répartie uniformément et régulièrement dans la touffe 12.This push will give a blast effect inside the tank 6 by stirring the powdery material, while leading to a distribution of a dose of powder by the valve 18, this dose being distributed uniformly and regularly in the tuft 12.
Lors du relâchement de la poussée, on stoppe naturellement la distribution de la dose tout en réalisant encore un effet de souffle en sens inverse. Si l'on désire changer le réservoir pour mettre une nouvelle recharge ou changer de teinte, il suffit de dévisser le réservoir 6. A ce moment là l'extrémité libre 17a de la tige 17 est accessible de l'extérieur et l'usager peut alors appliquer une poussée sur elle pour ouvrir le clapet 18 et permettre un nettoyage complet du dispositif.When the thrust is released, the dose is naturally stopped while still achieving a blast effect in the opposite direction. If you want to change the tank to put a new refill or change color, simply unscrew the tank 6. At this time the free end 17a of the rod 17 is accessible from the outside and the user can then apply a push on it to open the valve 18 and allow complete cleaning of the device.
On obtient donc tous les avantages techniques précédemment énoncés.We thus obtain all the technical advantages previously stated.
En référence à la figure 3, selon un deuxième mode de réalisation de l'invention, le dispositif applicateur 100 comprend un boîtier 104 réalisé au moins en deux parties 104a, 104b, solida¬ risées entre elles à plan de joint P passant par ladite partie renflée ou bombée, comme clairement visible à. la figure 3.With reference to FIG. 3, according to a second embodiment of the invention, the applicator device 100 comprises a housing 104 produced at least in two parts 104a, 104b, joined together with joint plane P passing through said part swollen or bulging, as clearly visible at. Figure 3.
Ce dispositif comprend aussi un réservoir 106 ayant une partie renflée 106b ou bombée correspondante de manière à ce que l'une 104b des parties renflées serve de moyen de verrouillage du réservoir 106 en place, comme cela est clairement compréhensible à partir de la figure 3, tout en ménageant un espace 109 pour le déplacement du réservoir 106. On observera que les parties 104a, 104b sont solidarisables entre elles de préférence par simple vissage, emboîtement ou clipsage, ou similaire.This device also comprises a reservoir 106 having a corresponding bulged or bent 106b portion so that one 104b of the bulged portions serves as a means for locking the reservoir 106 in place, as is clearly understandable from FIG. 3, while providing a space 109 for moving the reservoir 106. It will be observed that the parts 104a, 104b can be joined together preferably by simple screwing, interlocking or clipping, or the like.
De même, de préférence, le réservoir 106 est aussi clipsê ou emboîté sur la pièce intermédiaire 122 montée déplaçable à l'intérieur du boîtier 104.Likewise, preferably, the reservoir 106 is also clipped or fitted onto the intermediate piece 122 mounted movably inside the housing 104.
D'autre part, selon ce deuxième mode de réalisation, on peut prévoir que l'élément de fermeture 110 du boîtier, présente en regard de la pièce intermédiaire 122 une section en U, de manière à constituer une partie de la chambre intermédiaire 128, en étant située dans le prolongement de la partie 104a du réservoir. Avantageusement, on peut prévoir que la partie 104a vienne se solidariser parvissage, emboîtage ou clipsage sur l'élément de fermeture 110, comme représenté. Cet élément de fermeture 110 peut être réalisé monobloc avec la partie frontale I04c du boîtier 104 ou y être verrouillé également par simple vissage, emboîtage ou clipsage.On the other hand, according to this second embodiment, provision may be made for the closure element 110 of the housing to present, opposite the intermediate piece 122, a U-shaped section, so as to constitute a part of the intermediate chamber 128, by being located in the extension of part 104a of the tank. Advantageously, provision can be made for the part 104a to come together on passing, fitting or clipping onto the closing element 110, as shown. This closing element 110 can be made in one piece with the front part I04c of the housing 104 or be locked there also by simple screwing, fitting or clipping.
On observera que toutes les pièces de ce mode de réalisation à fonctions similaires à celles du mode de réalisation des figures 1 et 2, portent les mêmes numéros de référence augmentés de 100.It will be observed that all the parts of this embodiment with functions similar to those of the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2, bear the same reference numbers increased by 100.
Ainsi, l'élément d'obturation porte le numéro de référence 116, le clapet le numéro de référence 118, la touffe le numéro de référence 112, les moyens d'agitation le numéro de référence 126, la tige le numéro de référence 117, etc.Thus, the shutter element carries the reference number 116, the valve the reference number 118, the tuft the reference number 112, the stirring means the reference number 126, the rod the reference number 117, etc.
On observera que selon ce mode de réalisation on obtient tous les avantages du mode de réalisation précédent. En outre, on constate que l'élément d'obturation 110 à sa section en U définit avec la partie 104a du boîtier 104 un chemin de déplacement ou de glissement de la pièce intermédiaire 122 solidarisée avec le réser¬ voir 106, tandis que la base 111 du U et les bords latéraux du U permettent de maintenir davantage en position le moyen de rappel 138. Enfin, par le fait que la partie 104a du boîtier 104 vient également se visser, s'embroîter ou se clipser sur la partie frontale 104c au niveau de l'élément de fermeture 110, on obtient un moyen d'accès aisé à la partie centrale du dispositif.It will be observed that according to this embodiment, all the advantages of the preceding embodiment are obtained. In addition, it can be seen that the obturation element 110 in its U-shaped section defines with the part 104a of the housing 104 a path of displacement or sliding of the intermediate piece 122 secured to the reser¬ see 106, while the base 111 of the U and the lateral edges of the U make it possible to hold the return means 138 more in position. Finally, by the fact that the part 104a of the housing 104 also comes to be screwed, fitted or clipped onto the front part 104c at level of the closure element 110, an easy means of access is obtained to the central part of the device.
Naturellement, cette conception peut également être réalisée pour le mode de réalisation des figures 1 et 2. D'autre part, et comme pour le mode de réalisation des figures 1 et 2, l'élément de fermeture 110 présente une forme d'en¬ tonnoir présentant une partie tubulaire 110a ou 10a, de relativement grande dimension. Ceci permet en pratique -de définir avec une grande précision une dose de matériau poudreux lors de l'ouverture du clapet 118 ou 18 par action sur le réservoir 106 ou 6, respectivement. On comprend que l'invention permet donc d'aboutir de manière inattendue,non évidente, à tous les avantages techniques précédemment énoncés. Naturally, this design can also be carried out for the embodiment of Figures 1 and 2. On the other hand, and as for the embodiment of Figures 1 and 2, the closure element 110 has a form of en¬ barrel having a tubular part 110a or 10a, of relatively large size. This makes it possible in practice to define with great precision a dose of powdery material when the valve 118 or 18 is opened by action on the reservoir 106 or 6, respectively. It is understood that the invention therefore makes it possible to achieve, in an unexpected, not obvious manner, all the technical advantages previously stated.
