Description

L'invention concerne une buse de distribution pour la distribution d'un fluide à distribuer.The invention relates to a dispensing nozzle for dispensing a fluid to be dispensed.

Pour distribuer un fluide, il est usuel de lui faire traverser, sous pression, une buse de distribution qui comporte une chambre centrale d'alimentation disposée autour d'un axe et un canal de sortie disposé selon cet axe. La pression peut être obtenue de différentes façons, par exemple manuellement, par action sur une poire équipant le récipient contenant le fluide à distribuer, ou sur le récipient lui-même prévu flexible, ou sur un bouton poussoir d'actionnement d'une pompe ; la pression appliquée au fluide peut être aussi obtenue par la présence dans le récipient d'un autre fluide-introduit sous pression, qu'il soit gazeux ou liquéfié, propulsant le fluide à distribuer.To distribute a fluid, it is usual to make it pass, under pressure, a dispensing nozzle which comprises a central supply chamber arranged around an axis and an outlet channel disposed along this axis. The pressure can be obtained in different ways, for example manually, by action on a bulb fitted to the container containing the fluid to be dispensed, or on the container itself provided flexible, or on a push button for actuating a pump; the pressure applied to the fluid can also be obtained by the presence in the container of another fluid-introduced under pressure, whether it is gaseous or liquefied, propelling the fluid to be dispensed.

La qualité de la distribution réside essentiellement dans la finesse des particules pulvérisées ; jusqu'ici, des formes données à la chambre de distribution et/ou au canal de sortie ont permis d'améliorer la pulvérisation du fluide à distribuer et d'obtenir une distribution convenable ; mais le nombre des paramètres pouvant agir sur la finesse de cette pulvérisation est limité, et ces paramètres ont dû être tenus dans des tolérances étroites, ce qui augmente le prix de revient et n'est pas toujours compatible avec une fabrication de grande série.The quality of the distribution essentially lies in the fineness of the particles sprayed; hitherto, shapes given to the distribution chamber and / or to the outlet channel have made it possible to improve the spraying of the fluid to be distributed and to obtain a suitable distribution; but the number of parameters which can act on the fineness of this spraying is limited, and these parameters had to be kept within close tolerances, which increases the cost price and is not always compatible with mass production.

La présente invention a pour objet une buse de distribution permettant d'obtenir une pulvérisation du fluide à distribuer aussi convenable, mais dans des conditions d'industrialisation plus aisées et plus souples.The present invention relates to a dispensing nozzle making it possible to obtain a spraying of the fluid to be dispensed as suitable, but under easier and more flexible industrialization conditions.

Ainsi, selon l'invention, une buse de distribution pour la distribution d'un fluide à distribuer, sous pression, comportant une chambre centrale d'alimentation disposée autour d'un axe et un canal de sortie central en communication d'une part avec ladite chambre centrale et d'autre part avec l'extérieur, ledit canal de sortie étant disposé dans l'axe de ladite chambre centrale, la buse de distribution comportant en outre une chambre périphérique d'alimentation et un canal de sortie périphérique en communication d'une part avec ladite chambre périphérique et d'autre part avec l'extérieur, ladite chambre périphérique entourant ladite chambre centrale et le canal périphérique entourant ledit canal central, les deux dites chambres et ledit canal périphérique étant disposés circonférentiellement autour dudit axe de ladite chambre centrale, la chambre périphérique étant destinée à être alimentée par un deuxième fluide à distribuer, distinct du premier fluide alimentant la chambre centrale, l'un desdits premier et deuxième fluides étant un gaz, et l'autre un liquide, dans laquelle la chambre centrale est définie par une coupelle centrale emmanchée sur un embout central porté par un support, entre la face intérieure de ladite coupelle centrale et la face extérieure dudit embout central, le canal de sortie central traversant le fond de ladite coupelle centrale, est caractérisée par le fait que la chambre périphérique est définie par une coupelle périphérique emmanchée sur un embout périphérique porté par le support, entre la face intérieure de ladite coupelle périphérique, la face extérieure dudit embout périphérique et la face extérieure de l'embout central, le canal de sortie périphérique traversant le fond de ladite coupelle périphérique.Thus, according to the invention, a distribution nozzle for the distribution of a fluid to be dispensed, under pressure, comprising a central supply chamber disposed around an axis and a central outlet channel in communication on the one hand with said central chamber and on the other hand with the outside, said outlet channel being disposed in the axis of said central chamber, the dispensing nozzle further comprising a peripheral supply chamber and a peripheral outlet channel in communication with on the one hand with said peripheral chamber and on the other hand with the exterior, said peripheral chamber surrounding said central chamber and the peripheral channel surrounding said central channel, the two said chambers and said channel peripheral being arranged circumferentially around said axis of said central chamber, the peripheral chamber being intended to be supplied by a second fluid to be distributed, distinct from the first fluid supplying the central chamber, one of said first and second fluids being a gas, and l other a liquid, in which the central chamber is defined by a central cup fitted on a central end-piece carried by a support, between the internal face of said central cup and the external face of said central end-piece, the central outlet channel passing through the bottom of said central cup, is characterized by the fact that the peripheral chamber is defined by a peripheral cup fitted on a peripheral end piece carried by the support, between the internal face of said peripheral cup, the external face of said peripheral end piece and the external face of the central nozzle, the peripheral outlet channel crossing the bottom of said peripheral cup.

De préférence, la coupelle centrale est également emmanchée à l'intérieur de l'embout périphérique, et avantageusement, la coupelle périphérique est également emmanchée à l'intérieur d'un embout externe du support entourant l'embout périphérique.Preferably, the central cup is also fitted inside the peripheral end piece, and advantageously, the peripheral cup is also fitted inside an external end piece of the support surrounding the peripheral end piece.

La chambre d'alimentation centrale et/ou périphérique est cylindrique, ou conique convergente vers l'extérieur, ou hémisphérique, ou autre.The central and / or peripheral supply chamber is cylindrical, or conical converging towards the outside, or hemispherical, or other.

Ces dispositions permettent, l'un des fluides étant un gaz et l'autre un liquide, un fractionnement du liquide par le gaz et donc une plus grande finesse de pulvérisation. Ce fractionnement est encore amélioré lorsque la chambre centrale et/ou périphérique est pourvue d'ailettes imprimant au fluide qui la traverse un mouvement tourbillonnaire.These arrangements allow, one of the fluids being a gas and the other a liquid, a fractionation of the liquid by the gas and therefore greater spray finesse. This fractionation is further improved when the central and / or peripheral chamber is provided with fins imparting to the fluid passing through it a vortex movement.

Le canal de sortie central est cylindrique, ou conique, avantageusement convergent vers l'extérieur ; de préférence, il comporte une portion conique débouchant dans la chambre de distribution et une portion cylindrique débouchant à l'extérieur.The central outlet channel is cylindrical, or conical, advantageously converging towards the outside; preferably, it has a conical portion opening into the distribution chamber and a cylindrical portion opening to the outside.

Le canal de sortie périphérique est cylindrique ou conique, avantageusement divergent vers l'extérieur.The peripheral outlet channel is cylindrical or conical, advantageously diverging towards the outside.

Une coiffe en forme de coupelle est emmanchée sur la coupelle périphérique et dans l'embout externe du support, et définit, en combinaison avec la face extérieure conique de la coupelle périphérique, une pluralité de passages coniques convergents vers l'extérieur, répartis circonférentiellement autour de l'axe, chaque passage ayant une entrée et une sortie, ladite entrée plus éloignée de l'axe et plus large que ladite sortie communiquant avec l'extérieur, et ladite sortie communiquant également avec l'extérieur au voisinage de la sortie du canal périphérique.A cup-shaped cap is fitted on the peripheral cup and in the external end piece of the support, and defines, in combination with the conical outer face of the peripheral cup, a plurality of conical passages converging towards the outside, distributed circumferentially around the axis, each passage having an inlet and an outlet, said inlet further away from the axis and more as wide as said outlet communicating with the outside, and said outlet also communicating with the outside in the vicinity of the outlet of the peripheral channel.

Ainsi, l'air extérieur, aspiré par la dépression régnant à la sortie du canal périphérique, fractionne également le fluide pulvérisé et l'aère.Thus, the outside air, sucked in by the vacuum prevailing at the outlet of the peripheral channel, also breaks up the sprayed fluid and aerates it.

La présente invention peut être diversement appliquée, par exemple à une pompe de distribution, une valve de distribution, doseuse ou non, un système à poire....... Ainsi, le support de buse est le bouton poussoir d'actionnement d'une pompe de distribution destinée à équiper un bidon distributeur, l'un des deux fluides étant le liquide à distribuer présent dans le bidon et l'autre fluide le gaz du bidon, notamment lorsque le gaz du bidon est sous pression.The present invention can be variously applied, for example to a dispensing pump, a dispensing valve, metering or not, a pear system ....... Thus, the nozzle support is the actuation push button d 'A distribution pump intended to equip a dispenser container, one of the two fluids being the liquid to be dispensed present in the container and the other fluid the gas in the container, especially when the gas in the container is under pressure.

En variante, le support de buse est la valve de distribution d'un bidon aérosol, l'un des deux fluides étant le liquide à distribuer et l'autre fluide le propulseur gazeux du liquide à distribuer.As a variant, the nozzle support is the dispensing valve of an aerosol can, one of the two fluids being the liquid to be dispensed and the other fluid the gaseous propellant of the liquid to be dispensed.

Selon une autre variante, le support de buse est l'extrémité d'un flacon comprimable, l'un des deux fluides étant le liquide à distribuer et l'autre fluide l'air contenu dans le flacon au-dessus du niveau du liquide.According to another variant, the nozzle support is the end of a compressible bottle, one of the two fluids being the liquid to be dispensed and the other fluid the air contained in the bottle above the level of the liquid.

Bien entendu, le fluide gazeux peut être un gaz comprimé ou un gaz liquéfié, et de préférence, de l'air comprimé, ou l'azote.Of course, the gaseous fluid can be a compressed gas or a liquefied gas, and preferably compressed air, or nitrogen.

Pour mieux faire comprendre l'objet de l'invention, on va décrire ci-après, à titre purement illustratif et non limitatif, un mode de réalisation représenté sur les dessins annexés.To better understand the object of the invention, there will be described below, purely by way of illustration and not limitation, an embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings.

Le fond de la coupelle centrale 2 est traversé par un canal de sortie central 7, et la partie cylindrique de ladite coupelle centrale 2 est emmanchée à étanchéité en 32 à l'intérieur d'un embout périphérique 13, du support, entourant l'embout central 3 ; la coupelle centrale 2 est maintenue axialement dans l'embout périphérique 13, par exemple par clipsage en 33.In FIG. 1, the dispensing nozzle according to the invention, generally designated by the reference numeral 1, comprises a central cup 2 fitted on a central end piece 3 carried by a support 10; a central chamber 4 is thus defined by the internal face 5 of the central cup 2 and the external face 6 of the central end piece 3. The bottom of the central cup 2 is crossed by a central outlet channel 7, and the cylindrical part said central cup 2 is fitted with a seal at 32 inside a peripheral end piece 13, of the support, surrounding the central end piece 3; the central cup 2 is held axially in the peripheral end piece 13, for example by clipping at 33.

Une coupelle périphérique 11 est emmanchée sur l'embout périphérique 13, et, à étanchéité, en 34 à l'intérieur d'un embout externe 28 porté par le support, l'embout externe 28 entourant l'embout périphérique 13 ; la coupelle périphérique 11 est maintenue axialement dans l'embout externe 28, par exemple par clipsage en 35. Une chambre périphérique 36 est ainsi définie entre la face intérieure 12 de la coupelle périphérique 11, la face extérieure de l'embout périphérique 13, et la face extérieure 14 de la coupelle centrale 2. La face extérieure du fond de la coupelle centrale 2 et la face intérieure du fond de la coupelle périphérique 11 sont coniques, en sorte que, les fonds des deux coupelles étant dans un même plan perpendiculaire à l'axe, un canal de sortie phériphérique 25 traversant le fond de la coupelle périphérique a, lorsque les coupelles sont montées dans le support, une forme annulaire et entoure le canal central 7.A peripheral cup 11 is fitted on the peripheral end piece 13, and, at sealing, at 34 inside an external end piece 28 carried by the support, the external end piece 28 surrounding the peripheral end piece 13; the peripheral cup 11 is held axially in the external end piece 28, for example by clipping at 35. A peripheral chamber 36 is thus defined between the internal face 12 of the peripheral cup 11, the external face of the peripheral end piece 13, and the outer face 14 of the central cup 2. The outer face of the bottom of the central cup 2 and the inner face of the bottom of the peripheral cup 11 are conical, so that the bottoms of the two cups being in the same plane perpendicular to the axis, a peripheral outlet channel 25 passing through the bottom of the peripheral cup has, when the cups are mounted in the support, an annular shape and surrounds the central channel 7.

La chambre centrale 4 est alimentée en un premier fluide par une arrivée d'alimentation 9 et un jeu 8, par exemple une saignée longitudinale dans la face intérieure de la coupelle centrale 2, entre la coupelle centrale 2 et le manchon central 3, lequel jeu 8 débouche dans un espace annulaire 9a du support, l'arrivée d'alimentation 9 débouchant dans l'espace annulaire 9a. La chambre périphérique 36 est, de la même façon, alimentée en un deuxième fluide par une arrivée d'alimentation 15, un espace annulaire 15a et une saignée longitudinale 16 ménagée sur la face intérieure de la paroi cylindrique de la coupelle périphérique 11.The central chamber 4 is supplied with a first fluid by a supply inlet 9 and a clearance 8, for example a longitudinal groove in the interior face of the central cup 2, between the central cup 2 and the central sleeve 3, which clearance 8 opens into an annular space 9 in the support, the feeding opening 9 of arrival in the annular space 9 a. The peripheral chamber 36 is, in the same way, supplied with a second fluid by a supply inlet 15, an annular space 15 a and a longitudinal groove 16 formed on the internal face of the cylindrical wall of the peripheral cup 11.

Le support 10 de la buse 1 selon l'invention est le bouton poussoir d'une valve de distribution d'un bidon aérosol classique, qui, pour cette raison, ne sera pas détaillée ici. L'arrivée d'alimentation 9 communique avec l'intérieur 19 d'un élément tubulaire 18 d'actionnement d'une soupape qui s'ouvre sous l'action d'un effort appliqué au support 10, et le liquide contenu dans le bidon est alors pulvérisé à l'extérieur, à travers le canal central 7, sous l'action du fluide propulseur contenu dans le bidon de manière habituelle. Conformément à la présente invention, cette même action sur le bouton poussoir met en communication l'espace du bidon contenant le fluide propulseur avec l'espace annulaire 20, compris entre l'élément tubulaire 18 et un fourreau 17, tous deux portés par le bouton poussoir 10, l'espace annulaire 20 communiquant avec l'arrivée 15 d'alimentation en un deuxième fluide, ici le gaz propulseur ; ce gaz propulseur sort à travers le canal périphérique 25 et, en raison de la forme conique de la chambre périphérique, ce courant de gaz propulseur vient heurter, à la sortie, le courant de liquide sortant du canal central 7 ; cette disposition permet un meilleur fractionnement du liquide distribué, et donc une plus grande finesse de pulvérisation.The support 10 of the nozzle 1 according to the invention is the push button of a valve for dispensing a conventional aerosol can, which, for this reason, will not be detailed here. The supply inlet 9 communicates with the interior 19 of a tubular element 18 for actuating a valve which opens under the action of a force applied to the support 10, and the liquid contained in the container is then sprayed outside, through the central channel 7, under the action of the propellant fluid contained in the container in the usual way. In accordance with the present invention, this same action on the push button puts the space in the container containing the propellant into communication with the annular space 20, comprised between the tubular element 18 and a sheath 17, both carried by the button pusher 10, the annular space 20 communicating with the inlet 15 for supplying a second fluid, here the propellant gas; this propellant gas leaves through the peripheral channel 25 and, due to the conical shape of the peripheral chamber, this current of propellant gas collides, at the outlet, with the stream of liquid leaving the central channel 7; this arrangement allows better fractionation of the dispensed liquid, and therefore greater spray finesse.

Les séquences de distribution de liquide et de gaz peuvent être variées : il est, par exemple, avantageux de distribuer du gaz dans un premier temps, puis du gaz et du liquide en même temps, et ensuite à nouveau du gaz seul, qui nettoiera par entraînement le canal central 7 grâce à la dépression créée par le courant gazeux.The liquid and gas distribution sequences can be varied: it is, for example, advantageous to distribute gas first, then gas and liquid at the same time, and then again gas alone, which will clean by driving the central channel 7 thanks to the vacuum created by the gas stream.

Le fractionnement du liquide distribué peut être adapté à sa nature, en adaptant notamment les canaux central 7 et périphérique 25, et/ou les chambres centrale 4 et périphérique 36.The fractionation of the dispensed liquid can be adapted to its nature, in particular by adapting the central 7 and peripheral 25 channels, and / or the central 4 and peripheral 36 chambers.

Selon la variante de la figure 2, la face extérieure du fond de la coupelle centrale 2 est en deux parties coniques 14a, 14b, l'angle de la partie 14a étant plus aigu que celui de la partie 14b ; grâce à cette disposition, le canal périphérique 25 est plus proche radialement du canal central 7.According to the variant of FIG. 2, the outer face of the bottom of the central cup 2 is in two conical parts 14 a , 14 b , the angle of the part 14 a being more acute than that of the part 14 b ; thanks to this arrangement, the peripheral channel 25 is closer radially to the central channel 7.

Selon la variante de la figure 3, une précompression progressive est donnée à chacun des fluides avant leur sortie à l'extérieur : pour celà, les chambres centrale et périphérique ont des volumes, à l'entrée, annulaires tronconiques, limités, entre autres, par les portions coniques respectivement 21 et 22 des faces internes des coupelles centrale 2 et périphérique 11. On notera, également sur cette figure, la forme hémisphérique de l'extrémité de la face extérieure de l'embout central, la partie en regard de la face intérieure 5 de la coupelle centrale 2 ayant une forme hémisphérique correspondante, laquelle face intérieure 5 de la coupelle centrale 2 étant pouvue d'ailettes hélicoïdales 23, visibles également sur la figure 3a, de manière à doter le liquide d'un mouvement tourbillonnaire. Le canal central 7 a, ici, une forme conique convergent vers la sortie.According to the variant of FIG. 3, a progressive precompression is given to each of the fluids before they exit outside: for this, the central and peripheral chambers have volumes, at the entrance, frustoconical annulars, limited, among others, by the conical portions respectively 21 and 22 of the internal faces of the central 2 and peripheral cups 11. It will also be noted, in this figure, the hemispherical shape of the end of the external face of the central end piece, the part opposite the inner face 5 of the central cup 2 having a corresponding hemispherical shape, which inner face 5 of the central cup 2 being provided with helical fins 23, also visible in FIG. 3a, so as to provide the liquid with a vortex movement. The central channel 7 has, here, a conical shape converging towards the outlet.

Selon cette même variante de la figure 3, le fond de la coupelle périphérique 11 est plat, ainsi que la face extérieure de la coupelle centrale 2 située en regard ; la face intérieure du fond de la coupelle périphérique 11 est munie d'ailettes 24, également visibles sur la figure 3b ; ces ailettes 24 sont planes, selon des plans parallèles à l'axe mais ne passant pas par l'axe, et inclinées d'un même angle et dans le même sens par rapport aux rayons qui passent par leur extrémité la plus éloignée de l'axe : cette disposition permet de doter le gaz propulseur, également, d'un mouvement tourbillonnaire ; on notera que les tourbillons de liquide et de gaz sont en sens opposés de manière à augmenter le fractionnement. Dans l'exemple de la figure 3, le canal périphérique est formé de deux troncs de cônes, l'un, 25A, convergent, et l'autre, 25B, divergent, l'extrémité plane perpendiculaire à l'axe de la sortie du canal central étant disposée au droit du plan de raccordement des deux troncs de cônes 25A, 25B.According to this same variant of Figure 3, the bottom of the peripheral cup 11 is flat, as well as the outer face of the central cup 2 located opposite; the inner face of the bottom of the peripheral cup 11 is provided with fins 24, also visible in FIG. 3b; these fins 24 are plane, in planes parallel to the axis but not passing through the axis, and inclined at the same angle and in the same direction relative to the rays which pass through their end farthest from the axis: this arrangement makes it possible to provide the propellant, also, with a vortex movement; note that the vortices of liquid and gas are in opposite directions so as to increase the fractionation. In the example of FIG. 3, the peripheral channel is formed of two truncated cones, one, 25A, converging, and the other, 25B, diverging, the planar end perpendicular to the axis of the outlet of the central channel being disposed in line with the connection plane of the two trunks of cones 25A, 25B.

La variante de buse, selon l'invention, représentée sur la figure 4, comporte les dispositions avantageuses de la figure 3, à savoir la précompression des fluides grâce aux formes tronconiques 21, 22 des faces internes des coupelles, ainsi que des mouvements tourbillonnaires des fluides ; selon cette variante, les ailettes 26, 27 provoquant ces mouvements tourbillonnaires sont toutes portées par le fond de la coupelle centrale : ces ailettes sont du type décrit selon la figure 3b ; les ailettes 26 sont prévues sur la face interne de la coupelle centrale 2 et visibles également sur la figure 4a, vue de la gauche de la figure 4, et les ailettes 27 sont prévues sur la face externe de la coupelle centrale 2 et visibles également sur la figure 4b, vue de la droite de la figure 4.The nozzle variant according to the invention, shown in FIG. 4, includes the advantageous arrangements of FIG. 3, namely the precompression of the fluids by means of the frustoconical shapes 21, 22 of the internal faces of the cups, as well as of the swirl movements of the fluids; according to this variant, the fins 26, 27 causing these vortex movements are all carried by the bottom of the central cup: these fins are of the type described according to FIG. 3b; the fins 26 are provided on the internal face of the central cup 2 and also visible in FIG. 4a, seen from the left of FIG. 4, and the fins 27 are provided on the external face of the central cup 2 and also visible on Figure 4b, view from the right of Figure 4.

La variante de la figure 4 est également avantageuse de par la disposition relative et la constitution des canaux central et périphérique. Le canal central est conique convergent vers l'extérieur en 7a, et le canal périphérique conique divergent vers l'extérieur en 25b ; les deux troncs de cônes 7a et 25b sont séparés par un espace 7b dans lequel les fluides se rencontrent ; cette disposition en venturi permet la compression du liquide en 7a, la rencontre du liquide et du gaz en 7b, la dépression du mélange en 25b, et favorise la finesse et l'homogénéité de la pulvérisation.The variant of Figure 4 is also advantageous by the relative arrangement and the constitution of the central and peripheral channels. The central channel is conical converging outwardly 7a, and the conical peripheral channel diverge outwardly in 25 b; the two trunks of cones 7 a and 25 b are separated by a space 7 b in which the fluids meet; this venturi arrangement allows the compression of the liquid in 7 a , the meeting of the liquid and the gas in 7 b , the depression of the mixture in 25 b , and promotes the fineness and homogeneity of the spraying.

La variante de buse selon la figure 5 est analogue à celle de la figure 4, à laquelle a été ajoutée une coiffe 37 en forme de coupelle ; la coiffe 37 est constituée d'une jupe cylindrique 38 et d'une calotte sphérique 39, raccordées par des nervures radiales 30. La jupe 38 est emmanchée à étanchéité, d'une part, sur la face extérieure cylindrique de la coupelle périphérique 11 clipsée en 35 et, d'autre part, à l'intérieur de l'embout externe 28, clipsée en 40, également à étanchéité. L'espace compris entre la face intérieure de la calotte 39 et la face extérieure de la coupelle périphérique 11 définit une pluralité de canaux coniques convergents vers l'extérieur, la face extérieure de la coupelle (11) étant prévue en forme conique, selon 29 sur la figure 5 ; ces canaux répartis conférentiellement autour de l'axe débouchent de part et d'autre à l'extérieur, en ayant une entrée, éloignée de l'axe, plus large que la sortie proche de l'axe ; une sortie annulaire 31 est ainsi définie ; cette sortie 31 entoure la sortie du canal périphérique 25b et est proche de celle-ci ; grâce à cette disposition, la dépression régnant à la sortie du venturi 7a, 7b, 25b aspire de l'air extérieur qui traverse ces canaux et vient également fractionner et aérer le fluide pulvérisé.The variant nozzle according to FIG. 5 is similar to that of FIG. 4, to which a cap 37 in the form of a cup has been added; the cap 37 consists of a cylindrical skirt 38 and a spherical cap 39, connected by radial ribs 30. The skirt 38 is fitted with a seal, on the one hand, on the cylindrical outer face of the peripheral cup 11 clipped at 35 and, on the other hand, inside the external end piece 28, clipped at 40, also with sealing. The space between the inside face of the cap 39 and the outside face of the peripheral cup 11 defines a plurality of conical channels converging towards the outside, the outside face of the cup (11) being provided in conical shape, according to 29 in Figure 5; these channels distributed conferentially around the axis open on either side to the outside, having an inlet, distant from the axis, more wider than the exit near the axis; an annular outlet 31 is thus defined; this outlet 31 surrounds and is close to the outlet of the peripheral channel 25 b ; thanks to this arrangement, the vacuum prevailing at the outlet of the venturi 7 a , 7 b , 25 b sucks in outside air which passes through these channels and also comes to fractionate and aerate the sprayed fluid.

L'exemple représenté montre l'application de la buse selon l'invention à une valve de distribution d'un bidon aérosol, mais, bien entendu, elle peut équiper tout récipient pour la distribution d'un fluide sous pression : récipient muni d'une poire, récipient muni d'une pompe, récipient flexible comprimable ; dans ce dernier cas, le support de buse est l'extrémité d'un récipient, ou flacon comprimable, dans lequel l'un des fluides est le liquide à distribuer, et, l'autre fluide, l'air contenu dans le flacon au-dessus du niveau du liquide.The example shown shows the application of the nozzle according to the invention to a valve for dispensing an aerosol can, but, of course, it can equip any container for dispensing a pressurized fluid: container fitted with a pear, container fitted with a pump, flexible compressible container; in the latter case, the nozzle support is the end of a container, or compressible bottle, in which one of the fluids is the liquid to be dispensed, and, the other fluid, the air contained in the bottle at the - above the liquid level.
