Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the packaging of certain vaporizers particularly used in pharmacology.
  • a vaporizer of this type comprises a container closed by a valve body comprising a small valve that a spring keeps closed at rest. It lets out its contents when the valve stem is pushed towards the inside of the spray can. Under the effect of a continuous pressure exerted on the rod, a permanent spray of aerosol - or only a dose - is, as the case may be, released.
  • the invention applies to all kinds of valves, including pumps. It is a question of presenting these vaporizers in a packaging which, while facilitating their later use, proves first of all that no one has yet used them.
  • tappets of very varied shapes cover the valve body by adapting internally to the valve stem and, for example, allow the valve to be pushed back by simply pressing the index finger.
  • metallic or plastic seals can be placed around the spray orifice.
  • a vaporizer 1, consisting of a container 2 and a valve 3, wearing the pusher 5 of the corresponding invention.
  • the rod 4 of the vaporizer valve has a shoulder, its section being smaller at its upper end.
  • a support cylinder 6 is engaged on the rod and abuts on the shoulder.
  • the cylinder 6 is integral with the pusher 5.
  • the cylinder 6 When a vertical force directed towards the bottom of FIG. 1 is exerted by any means on the pusher 5, the cylinder 6 thus transmits a downward movement to the rod 4 of the valve. It is withdrawn inside the valve body 3 of the vaporizer provided that the latter is held in place otherwise.
  • the amplitude of the stroke of the rod 4 is regulated by the internal shape of the base 8 of the pusher which more or less allows the penetration of the valve body 3.
  • the product contained in the canister 2 of the vaporizer escapes through the rod 4 of the valve. It then flows inside a nozzle 7.
  • the nozzle 7 is elongated, has in its central cavity a device 12 for accelerating the droplets of product and is protected by a rubbing plug 11. All these characteristics concerning the nozzle 7 could also present themselves differently (for example shorter length, empty cavity, screwed cap, lateral orientation of the spray, etc.).
  • the example shown is a nasal nozzle.
  • the invention applies to all nozzles, an oral nozzle, for example.
  • the vertical flange 9 presented by the pusher 5 can be fixed under its base 8 at different distances from its outer periphery.
  • the variant embodiment shown in FIG. 7 places this flange 9 ′ technically on the periphery of the base. In both cases, however, it forms a complete crown. This admits in section the shape of a bayonet whose hook 10 is disposed outside.
  • Figure 2 further shows the section of a case 13 of the invention. It is a cylindrical case which admits three particular characteristics.
  • its internal wall has vertical ribs 14 arranged radially. Their height, width and number are such that the can 2 of the vaporizer, once introduced into the case 13, is kept centered relative to the axis of the case.
  • Figure 5 illustrates an embodiment with four ribs. Then the bottom of the case is precut along two parallel lines 17 located at equal distance from the axis of the system (see also Figure 5). This distance is such that an inch can pass between them. However, it is less than the diameter of the container 2.
  • the vertical walls of the case 13 are also precut, in the extension of the bottom precut.
  • one or more notches releasing hooks 16 are formed in the upper part of the case. 13. They can be arranged on the radial end of the ribs as indicated in FIGS. 2 to 4, or else on the internal wall of the case 13 as in the embodiment of FIG. 7.
  • the hooks 16 of the case 13 must be at a distance from the axis of revolution of the different parts compatible with the location of the hooks 10 of the pusher 5 so that the case and pusher can be snapped on without excessive force.
  • Figure 3 specifies the respective position of the various elements after snap-fastening. The vaporizer is then protected on all sides. This protection is made inviolable by the irreversible nature of the ratchet. This is guaranteed both by the shape and the dimensions of the pieces as well as the choice of the material composing it. This leads to the shearing of the hooks 10 or 16 in the event of an attempt to separate the pusher 5 and the case 13.
  • the pusher could be welded, for example by ultrasound, to the case. It is therefore impossible to open the packaging without destroying it.
  • the precut 17 located at the base of the case 13 must be broken. This can be achieved, subject to sufficient fragility, by exerting manual pressure between the two straight lines precut at the bottom of the case.
  • the play existing between the bottom of the case and that of the vaporizer indeed promotes the establishment of the necessary shear.
  • the opening thus released if it remains too narrow to offer a passage for the vaporizer, must easily allow the introduction of a finger, preferably the thumb, in order to access the vaproisateur.
  • This requirement also leads to providing a precut 18 of the walls of the case 13 such that the opening admits finally the shape of a notch 15 or a trench. This is shown in perspective in Figure 6.
  • Figure 4 finally shows the vaporizer and its packaging during vaporization. It is carried out according to the preceding description when the bottom of the container is pressed manually, generally using the thumb. The packaging can then be held in addition using two other fingers placed on the base 8 of the pusher 5. Depending on the size of the vaporizer relative to an adult hand, a more or less wide base must be provided in order to favor the taking.
