Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a protection and closure assembly for a pasty product distributor, for example a metering distributor of toothpaste with piston and distribution pump without air intake, having an eccentric distribution orifice.
  • a pasty product distributor for example a metering distributor of toothpaste with piston and distribution pump without air intake, having an eccentric distribution orifice.
  • Numerous toothpaste dispensers consist, on the one hand, of a rigid container part, generally cylindrical, and on the other hand, by a distribution cap, which covers said container part and is connected to the means of the distributor allowing the product ejection.
  • This dispensing cap most often comprises a dispensing channel whose free, eccentric end defines the dispensing orifice.
  • Protective covers are already known for such dispensing dispensers, which, when dispensers are not used, cover the dispensing caps. These protective covers have the essential function of protecting the dispensing cap against external shocks which could damage it. They have no function of blocking the dispensing orifice. The material in the channel, directly in the open air or in contact with the air included under the protective cover tends to dry in the ejection channel, to dirty it and to obstruct it.
  • Some toothpaste dispensers are presented for sale, that is to say, before the first use by the consumer, provided with a small capsule blocking the dispensing orifice.
  • This small capsule which is a separate piece from the rest of the device, essentially serves to prevent the material included in the dispenser pourer only dries during storage before sale and is generally thrown away from the first use.
  • the present invention provides a solution which makes it possible to avoid or at least reduce such trial and error.
  • the protective cover and the distribution cap are provided with suitable means for guiding the assembly and conducting the eccentric outlet orifice on a closure member.
  • the subject of the present invention is therefore a protection and closure assembly for a dispenser of pasty product, for example toothpaste, which comprises a protective cover and a dispensing cap mounted on a container part of the dispenser; the dispensing cap includes a side dispensing opening; the protective cover comprises at least one obturating member intended to be assembled with the dispensing opening to plug it in a substantially hermetic manner; the dispensing cap and the protective cover are provided respectively on their external surface and on their internal surface, with at least one pipe projection and at least one guide ramp intended to cooperate when the protective cover is applied on the dispensing cap to guide the shutter member to the dispensing opening and allow the assembly of said shutter member with the dispensing opening in the plugged position, whatever the relative angular position, according to which has been applied the protective cover to the cover.
  • the guide ramp extends substantially over one revolution of the protective cover or of the dispensing cap.
  • the distribution opening is formed by the opening of a lateral distribution chimney whose end opposite to said distribution opening is connected to the distribution cap; the edges of said chimney form the pipe projections intended to cooperate with the guide ramp (s) on the inner surface of the protective cover.
  • the shutter member (s) is (or are) disposed on the bottom of the protective cover; the guide ramp (s) on the inside surface of the hood cover wall protection is (or are) positioned (s) so that their end close to the bottom of the protective cover is juxtaposed with a shutter member.
  • the guide ramps are surfaces delimiting the contour of at least one fin positioned on the inner surface of the protective cover and arranged so that each obturator member is in the extension of a groove defined by two ramps oriented in the opposite direction.
  • a fin has a shape which widens from its part towards the free end of the cover until its end close to the bottom of the protective cover.
  • the surface of a fin directed towards the inside of the protective cover is slightly curved.
  • a shutter member comprises a pin intended to be inserted into the dispensing opening.
  • the protective cover comprises, towards its end opposite its bottom, a sleeve intended to fit, with a slight tightening, on a neck of the dispensing cap located in a part of said dispensing cap close to the container.
  • the neck of the dispensing cap is limited, in its part furthest from the bottom of the protective cover, when the latter is closed, by a flange on which the free end of said protective cover rests in position closed.
  • the distribution chimney extends the neck of the distribution cap.
  • the dispenser container, the neck of the dispensing cap and the sleeve of the protective cover are cylinders, of section circular right, which are coaxial when said protective cover is in the closed position.
  • the dispensing cap is secured to the container by its neck, the inner surface of which substantially matches the end of the wall of the container opposite the bottom of said container.
  • the guide ramp (s) is (or are) formed by the edge (s) of an imprint on the protective cover, the organ (s) ( s) plugging, the ramp (s) being molded in plastic in one piece.
  • the protective cover comprises three pins, arranged on a bottom on a circle, at 120 ° from one another, and three fins at 120 ° from each other, each fin being arranged between two pins.
  • the protection and closure assembly is constituted by a protective cover 1 and by a dispensing cap 2 mounted on the container part 3 of the dispenser.
  • the protective cover 1 has a wall 4 closed on itself and terminated at one of its ends by a flat bottom 5, its other end being free. Towards its free end, the wall 4 is a cylindrical sleeve 6.
  • the bottom 5 has a shape which is defined by a circle 7, of the same axis as the sleeve 6 and of slightly smaller diameter, at the periphery of which are distributed three housings in ear 8, at 120 ° from each other, identically extending the bottom 5. These housings in ear 8 are delimited at their end opposite to the circle 7 delimiting the bottom 5 by the arcs of a circle with the same center and the same diameter as the sleeve 6.
  • the ears 8 are connected two by two by the walls of the guide ramps 10 which extend the lateral ends 9, facing each other, of said ears 8.
  • the guide ramps 10 are the branches of bands, of constant thickness, having substantially the shape of a tooth or a V, the slightly rounded tip of which is situated towards the free end of the protective cover 1 and the ends of which are the lateral ends 9 of the ears 8.
  • the wall 4 of the cover of protection 1 connects the inner contour of these guide ramps cylindrically to the circle 7, thus defining three fins 11.
  • the wall 4, extending the sleeve 6 cylindrically connects the external ends of the guide ramps 10 with the periphery of the bottom 5 delimited by the arcs of a circle defining the ears 8.
  • two fins 11 determine by their guide ramps 10 juxtaposed a groove 12 closed on one side by the wall 4 and ending at the bottom 5 at the ears 8.
  • the surfaces of the fins 11, directed towards the inside of the cover 1, are slightly curved.
  • the bottom 5 is provided laterally, on its inner surface, in the ear receptacles 8, of three pins 13.
  • These three pins 13 are small parallelepipeds having two of their slightly arched surfaces and parallel to the cylindrical parts of the wall 4, two other of their surfaces being substantially parallel to the parts guide rails towards the lateral ends 9 of the ears 8, their other surfaces being parallel to the bottom 5.
  • the bottom 5 is thicker on its surface delimited by the circle 7 than on the ear housings 8, the height of the pins 13 along the axis of the cover 1 being substantially equal to the thickness of the bottom 5 on its surface delimited by the circle 7; each pin 13 is then surrounded by a small annular groove.
  • the dispensing cap 2 comprises a cylindrical frame 14 whose cross section is a circle of diameter slightly smaller than that of the circle 7.
  • the interior of this frame 14 is intended to contain the means making it possible to actuate the dispenser.
  • At one end of this frame 14, opens a push button 15 connected to the means for actuating the dispenser.
  • This push button 15 is a cylinder which slides coaxially in the frame 14, its end remote from said frame being limited by a flat surface, slightly inclined relative to a surface perpendicular to the axis of the frame 14, intended to receive, for example, an inch of a hand.
  • the other end of the frame 14 is connected by a small annular surface 16 to a neck 17 which is a hollow cylinder coaxial with the frame 14, the inner surface of which is fitted onto the cylinder of the container 3.
  • This neck 17 has slightly smaller dimensions to those of the sleeve 6. It is terminated in its part closest to the container 3 by a flange 18 which is an annular collar whose thickness is that of the wall 4.
  • the distribution cap 2 is provided, along the frame 14, with a distribution chimney 19 opposite the highest point of the push button 15 when the container 3 and the cap 2 are vertical. This chimney 19 is a duct parallel to said frame 14.
  • Its walls have substantially the shape of an elongated parallelepiped, one of the walls in length being slightly arched and extending the neck 17, the wall facing it partially matching the wall of the frame 14.
  • This chimney 19 opens perpendicularly at one of its ends to the annular surface 16. Its other end is free and delimits the distribution opening 20 having a shape allowing it to receive exactly the pins 13, the thickness of the walls of this chimney 19 being smaller than the minimum distance separating the wall 4 from the pins 13, so that said chimney 19 can be placed in the grooves 12.
  • a second step one closes one over the other, the distribution cap 2 and the protective cover 1, by sliding them relative to one another.
  • the chimney 19 is then gradually guided in a groove 12, until the pin 13 associated with said groove 12 is inserted into the dispensing opening 20.
  • the sleeve 6 descends coaxially along the dispensing cap 2. Its possibilities of transverse displacements are reduced as and when it passes over the push button 15, then over the frame 14 and finally over the neck 17, on which it is inserted with a slight tightening, after having been stopped in its axial displacement by the flange of the collar 18.
