- the pump 10 is a pump without air intake; it is crimped, slammed or screwed onto the sleeve 8.
- An anti-prisoner device 12 for example constituted by a flexible openwork chimney, or by a kind of grid, extending from the head 5 towards the bottom of the pocket 1, is provided to prevent the walls of this pocket from sticking together. one against the other, under the action of atmospheric pressure, as the liquid is pumped.
- An annular chamber 13 is formed in the head 5 between the exterior surface of the sleeve 8 and the interior surface of the wall of the head 5.
- a rigid push button 14 is provided above the head 5.
- This push button 14 is formed by a base 15 and a cap 16 fixed to one another, in particular by gluing, welding or snap-fastening.
- the push button 14 has at its base a flange 17, forming a plate, capable of compressing the air in the annular chamber 13.
- the flange 17 slides, in a substantially sealed manner, against the interior surface of the peripheral wall of the head 5, in the manner of a piston.
- the central part 18 of the base 15 of the push button has a smaller outside diameter than that of the collar 17; this part 18 comprises a cylindrical cavity 19, coaxial with the sleeve 8, covering the rod 11 and the upper part of the pump body.
- the internal cylindrical wall of the cavity 19 has a diameter greater than the maximum diameter of the pump body 9 so that a gap 20 remains to establish communication between the chamber 13 and the cavity 19.
- the flange 17 is traversed by holes 21 provided, on the side of the chamber 13, with air return valves 22 allowing the entry of air from the outside into the chamber 13 but opposing the outlet.
- the upper wall of the base 15 has, in the center, an axial passage 23 opening through a tapered flared mouth 24 on the side of the pump 10. The upper end of the rod 11 comes to bear in a substantially sealed manner against this mouthpiece 24.
- At least one other passage 25, parallel to passage 23, crosses the upper wall of the base 15, parallel to the axis of the rod 11, but with a radial offset towards the outside relative to this axis.
- two passages 25 are provided on either side of the vertical plane passing through the axis of the outlet channel 26 of the foam.
- On the upper face of the base 15 are provided two grooves 27 starting from the upper end of the passages 25 and converging towards one another in the direction of a cavity containing a porous part 28.
- Another groove 29 s' extending along the axis of the channel 26 and forming a bisector of the grooves 27, is provided between the upper end of the passage 23 and the cavity containing the porous part 28.
- the downstream ends of the channels 27 and 29 are in contact with the porous part 28 where the air / liquid mixture takes place. Upstream of the part 28, the channels 27 and 29 are separated from each other.
- the porous piece 28 can be, for example, a sintered polyethylene, a metallic or ceramic sinter, an open cell foam, a grid, fiberglass, a felt, a nesting of a multitude of obstacles, forming by example a kind of labyrinth, or any other porous material.
- the base 15, seen in plan, is limited, on the side opposite to the product outlet, by a semi-circular contour and, on the product outlet side, by a trapezoidal outline, the small base of which forms a spout B for the foam outlet.
- the cover 16 comprises, in the region located above each passage 25, a cavity 31, which forms a housing for receiving an air intake valve 32.
- the valve 32 is advantageously formed, for each passage 25, by a rounded bump, turning its convexity towards the passage 25, provided in a flexible piece 33, preferably made of elastomer, of generally flattened shape and the edge of which is clamped between the base 15 and the cover 16.
- the flexible part 33 passes over the porous part 28 and ends with a lip 34 inclined downward, suitable for closing the outlet of the expansion chamber 30.
- the part 33 closes the grooves 27 and 29 upwards, and defines with these grooves the air and liquid inlet channels.
- the valve 32 allows the movement of air from the passage 25 to the porous part 28 and opposes a movement in the opposite direction. Aspiration of the liquid towards the chamber 19 is thus prevented.
- a cap 35 is provided for covering, during storage, the push-button 14, this cap 35 coming to fit on the upper end of the envelope 2.
- the user After removing the cap 35, presses the push button 14.
- the rod 11 of the pump 9 without air intake is pressed, which causes the product contained by the bag 1 to exit through the passage 23 and the groove 29 in the direction of the porous part 28.
- the collar 17 pressed into the annular chamber 13 compresses the air trapped in this chamber.
- the pressurized air is discharged through the passages 25 which causes the valves 32 to open and the air to flow, through the grooves 27, in the direction of the porous part 28.
- An air / liquid mixture is produced on this piece porous and the expansion of the foaming liquid / air mixture can take place in the chamber 30.
- the foam comes out of the spout B by lifting the lip 34.
- the distributor of Figure 1 is a distributor without air intake, therefore aseptic.
- the groove 27, starting from the passage 25, has a hairpin shape surrounding the groove 29 and ends against the porous part 28.
- the groove 29 for the liquid ends on the porous part 28, as in the case of FIG. 2 a According to this variant, the air and liquid inlets on the porous part 28 take place in parallel directions.
- FIG. 2 c illustrates an alternative embodiment of the base 15 with an arrangement of the passages 23 and 25 identical to that of FIG. 2 b ; however, the groove 29 of liquid does not end directly against the porous element 28 but opens in the branches of the air groove 27, upstream of this element 28, on a jet breaker 36 capable of bursting and to slow the flow of liquid. This flow is therefore separated into two parts which mix, respectively, with the air arriving in each branch of the hairpin groove 27, then enters the porous element 28.
- FIG. 2 d illustrates a variant of the base in which the groove 29 for the liquid ends up on the porous part 28 while communicating, just before this part 28, by a lateral passage 37, with a single branch of the groove 27, parallel to groove 29.
- Figure 2 e shows an alternative embodiment of the base 15 in which the groove 27 with two branches, hairpin, for air under pressure communicates, upstream of the porous part 28, by lateral openings 38 with the groove 29 for the liquid. The air thus arrives substantially perpendicularly in the liquid flow upstream of the porous part 28.
- FIG. 2 f illustrates another alternative embodiment of the base 15 of the push button.
- the two branches of the groove 27 starting from the end of the air passage 25 form a sort of clamp whose ends come into contact with the transverse faces of the porous part 28 so that the air arrival on this porous part takes place in a direction perpendicular to the liquid arrival, by the groove 29 whose axis coincides with the axis of the outlet channel 26.
- the air / liquid mixture is carried out in the porous part 28 by the meeting of the two air and liquid flows oriented perpendicularly.
- the liquid passage 23 can be located in front, behind or at the same level as the air passage 25, in the direction of the axis of the outlet channel 26.
- FIG. 2 g illustrates an alternative embodiment of the flexible part 33 a made of elastomeric material.
- the bump constituting the valve 32 a for the air intake is situated upstream, in the direction of flow of the fluid, of a wall 39 delimiting, on the side opposite to the valve 32 a , the liquid outlet.
- a tongue 40 is provided to constitute a non-return closure in each air groove such as 27.
- the flexible part 33 a of FIG. 2 g is intended for a push-button in which the exit of the foam takes place in a direction directed upwards; the lip 34 a is arranged accordingly.
- the elastic material of the part 33, 33 a is preferably a natural or synthetic elastomer.
- elastomers which can be used, there may be mentioned, for example, styrene-butadiene copolymers, nitrile rubbers, polychloroprene or neoprene, EPDM rubber, polyurethanes, silicone rubber and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers.
- the lip 34, 34 is optional, and is in sealing contact with the base 15 when there is no dispensing, and away from the base by bending under the thrust of the product to be dispensed.
- the lip returns by elasticity in sealed contact with the base 15 when the dispensing ceases.
- the elastic piece 33, 33 a is mounted on the base by breakdown, welding or gluing, or can be maintained using the rigid cover 16.

- baffles or systems such as labyrinths
- the pump 10 is of the type without air intake, and that the bag 1 containing the product is without air, it is possible to store the dispenser upside down, and to distribute the foam also upside down.
- the rigid outer casing 102 constitutes the container itself and contains the product without air, the flexible bag 1 having been removed.
- the head 105 is an integral part of this envelope 102, the bottom 107 always being set back, in the axial direction, relative to the upper end of the central sleeve 108.
- the bottom of the envelope 102 is open and a piston 41 is designed to slide in a sealed manner inside said envelope, as the volume of the liquid contained in this envelope decreases following pumping. There is a pump 10 without air intake.
- a ring 42 of elastic porous material, in particular of elastic foam, is provided in the annular chamber 13. This ring 42 is compressed when the push-button 14 is pressed.
- the operation of this device is identical to that described with reference to FIG. 1.
- the piston 41 gradually rises in the envelope 102, as and when the liquid contained in this envelope is used up.
- the crown 42 made of elastic porous material makes it possible, by its own volume, to adjust by reduction the volume of compressed air sent by the passage 25, when the pusher 14 is pressed.
- the volume of air sent each time the push button is pressed can be modified by adding elastic foam crowns of different densities.
- Figure 4 of the drawings shows a device according to the invention combined with an air intake pump 210 mounted on a container 202 with rigid walls containing the liquid and air.
- the bottom 203 of the container 202 is fixed and rigid.

- this device is similar to that described in connection with FIG. 1. However, since the pump 210 is of the return air type with dip tube 43, this device must be used push button 14 at the top.
- FIG. 5 illustrates an alternative embodiment in which the push-button 14 is combined with a skirt 44, in which it can slide, which carries at the lower part of its internal surface, a snap-fit bead 45 suitable for cooperating with a groove 46 provided in the upper part of a container 302 equipped with a pump 310 with air intake and dip tube 43.
- the air passage 25 is equipped with a non-return valve 332, while the elastic piece 33 does not include a bump.
- the pump 310 is mounted in a central sleeve 308 projecting from the bottom wall 307 of the upper end or head 305 of the container.
- the skirt 44 constitutes a kind of adapter suitable for creating the cylindrical wall of the annular chamber 13 in combination with the bottom 307 of the upper part of the container 302.
- the push button 14 can thus be adapted, as illustrated in FIG. 5, to an existing container.
- Operation is identical to that of the device in FIG. 4 and must be carried out at the top with the push button.
- FIG 6 shows an alternative embodiment of the dispensing device.
- the head 405 does not have a cylindrical peripheral wall at the edge of its bottom 407.
- a deformable bellows 47 covers the edge from the bottom 407 of the head. The lower edge of this bellows 47 is, for example, sealingly engaged in a peripheral groove 48 provided on the edge of the bottom 407.

- the flange 17 of the base 15 is equipped with air return valves 22 described above.
- the bellows 47 can be in simple support in the groove 49 so that a seal is established between the wall of this groove and the bellows 47 when the push button 14 is pressed.
- this button pusher 14 rises elastically, there is no longer sealed contact between the upper edge of the bellows 47 and the wall of the groove 49; an air inlet is then possible between this groove wall and the bellows 47, in the chamber 13, during the raising of the push button 14.
- the air passage 25 is equipped with a non-return valve 432.
- FIG. 7 illustrates an alternative embodiment in which the head 505, attached to the upper end of the container 502, has a cylindrical side wall 50 whose length, in the axial direction of the central sleeve 508, is less than the length of this sleeve, This cylindrical wall 50 only partially determines the annular chamber 13.
- the base 17 of the push button is provided, at its periphery, with a cylindrical skirt 51 extending downward, surrounding the wall 50 and suitable for sliding in leaktight manner against this wall.
- the skirt 51 has, at its lower part, an internal bead 52 while the wall 50 has, at its upper end, an external bead 53. The cooperation of the beads 52, 53 ensures the retention towards the top of the skirt 51 relative to the wall 50.
