Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fluid dispenser container, of simple construction, and making it possible to avoid all of the above drawbacks; thanks to the dispensing container, according to the invention, a precise quantity of fluid can be dispensed during use and the dispensing container cannot be emptied continuously.
  • a dispensing container is schematically illustrated at 1 in FIG. 1;
  • the dispensing container 1 is of the aerosol can type, the interior 18 of the dispensing container 1 containing a dispensing fluid 19 subjected to the internal pressure generated by a propellant fluid, as known per se;
  • the distribution means here is a conventional distribution valve 2 which allows, by action on a pusher carried by the valve 2, a distribution of fluid sprayed through a nozzle 3, the fluid previously passing through a dip tube 17.
  • the tube 17 is in communication at 17 a with a conditioning chamber 4 consisting, according to the example shown in this figure, of a bellows 7 of generally cylindrical shape, the elastic cylindrical part being tightly secured by its ends to two plates 5 a and 5 b ; the plate 5 a is provided with a calibrated orifice 6. This orifice 6 is located in the vicinity of the edge of the plate 5 a , under a fold of the bellows 7.
  • the assembly is such that when the bellows 7 is folded, as illustrated on Figure 2 where the volume of the chamber 4 is minimum, the orifice 6 is obstructed by the bellows 7. Any communication is thus cut between the interior 18 of the container and the chamber 4. Any communication between the interior 18 and the tube 17 is therefore also cut.
  • the emptying will cease even if the user maintains his action on the push-button of the dispensing valve, when the chamber 4 has reached its minimum volume, for example when the folds of the bellows are contiguous: it is this position which is shown in Figure 2.
  • the orifice 6 is then closed and the spraying stop is clear.
  • FIG. 4 and 5 schematically show a second embodiment of a dispenser container of the aerosol can type equipped with another variant of the packaging chamber according to the invention.
  • a deformable elastic membrane 8 cylindrical, whose upper part is open, has its circumferential edge secured to the container 1 by crimping the cylindrical portion of the container and the conical part 1 is, as usually done, and its bottom secured to the end bottom of the tube 17 therethrough and opens at 17a in the space between the inner wall of the container and the diaphragm 8; this space constitutes the conditioning chamber according to the invention, the movable wall of which is subjected to the internal pressure of the container is the membrane 8.
  • the bottom of said membrane comprises means 6 for timing consisting of a calibrated hole.
  • Figures 6 and 7 show variants of the membrane conditioning chamber; the tube 17 is integral with a membrane-holder part shaped to receive an elastic membrane, leaving it with the possibility of movement, the volume generated by the membrane during its movement constituting the conditioning chamber 4 with variable volume according to the invention; according to FIG. 6, the membrane-supporting part 23 is in the form of a diabolo and the membrane 8 is cylindrical and subject to sealing at the two ends of the diabolo.
  • the membrane 8 is shown in phantom in Figure 6 in the position where the internal pressure applies it to the surface of the dolly, position for which spraying has ceased.
  • a calibrated bore 8 a in the part 23 delays the filling of the chamber 4. At the end of the chamber 4 emptying, the orifice 17 a is closed by the membrane 8. Any communication between the distribution valve and the chamber 4 is interrupted. The membrane 8 also obstructs the calibrated bore 8 a .
  • the membrane-holder part 24 has a semi-spherical cavity closed by the membrane 8.
  • tube 17 provided with a wide radial orifice 22 cooperating with an elastic cylindrical sleeve 21 threaded tight on the tube 17; the pressure in the tube 17 raises the sleeve 21 when the container is pressurized by the tube 17 and keeps the container under pressure when the operation is complete.
