Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for dispensing a liquid product.
  • a device for dispensing a liquid product comprising a container provided at its upper part with a dispensing member operable by pressing in, a cover covering the dispensing member and the container, a member for actuation in the form of a lever being articulated on the front of the cover, said actuation member making it possible to achieve at will the depression necessary for the operation of said distribution member, said cover also comprising on its front face a distribution nozzle supplied by a distribution channel provided in said cover and having at least two end portions, one of which directly feeds the distribution nozzle and the other of which extends axially, a connection means provided with a passage being provided between the distribution member and the other end of the distribution channel which extends axially, said actuating member cooperating with said connection means for r carry out the insertion necessary for the operation of said dispensing member.
  • Such a device is, for example, described in FR-A-2 682 937; it has the advantage that, the dispensing nozzle being carried by the cover, it is not necessary to provide a notch in the cover, as is the case when the dispensing nozzle is carried by a dispensing head which is moved axially, relative to the cover, such as that described in FR-A-2 675 403; the indentation in the cover requires positioning of the latter relative to the container, even when the dispensing head is centered relative to the container, and risks, moreover, weakening the mechanical strength of said cover.
  • connection means provided between the distribution member and the distribution channel is integral with the latter for sealing reasons, but must be provided flexible because the distribution channel is carried by a deformable part of the cover secured to the actuating member; therefore, the relative flexibility of the connection means leads to transverse stresses on the dispensing member.
  • the present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks.
  • a device for dispensing a liquid product comprising a container provided at its upper part with a dispensing member actuable by pressing in, a cover covering the dispensing member and the container, a member for actuation in the form of a lever being articulated on the front of the cover, said actuation member making it possible to achieve at will the depression necessary for the operation of said distribution member, said cover also comprising on its front face a distribution nozzle supplied by a distribution channel provided in said cover and having at least two end portions, one of which directly feeds the distribution nozzle and the other of which extends axially, a connection means provided with a passage being provided between the distribution member and the other end of the distribution channel which extends axially, said actuating member cooperating with said connection means to produce the depression necessary for the operation of said dispensing member, is characterized in that the connection means is tightly connected to the axial end of the dispensing channel with respect to which it is axially displaceable.
  • connection means comprises at its upper part a cylindrical end piece slidingly mounted in leaktight manner in the axial end with corresponding section of the distribution channel; the connection means comprises at its lower part a cylindrical housing with which cooperates sealingly, and in axial abutment, the dispensing member.
  • the dispensing member is a pump mounted on the upper part of the container and the operating rod of which is fitted into the cylindrical housing of the connection means.
  • the dispensing member is a valve mounted on the upper part of the container and the stem of which maneuver is fitted into the cylindrical housing of the connection means.
  • connection means comprises a circular collar with which the lever-shaped actuating member cooperates.
  • the actuator is articulated on the front of the cover by means of a film hinge, the actuator and the cover having come together to be molded.
  • the actuating member is connected to the front of the cover by means of a journal hinge or any other hinge, the cover and the actuating member being produced in two separate parts.
  • connection means carries a sealing lip molded with the connection means.
  • the dispensing member is mounted offset from the longitudinal axis of the container, angular orientation means being provided for positioning the cover relative to the dispensing member, therefore to the container; the orientation means are constituted by the shape of the cross section of the container and the cover.
  • the dispensing member is centered on the longitudinal axis of the container.
  • a device for dispensing a liquid product comprises a container 2 provided at its upper part with a dispensing member 3 consisting of a pump, the operating rod of which can be seen at 31; the pump 3 and the container 2 are capped with a cover 1; hooking flutes 21, 22, complementary, are carried respectively by the cover 1 and the container 2 at their periphery, in order to maintain the cover 1 axially on the container 2.
  • the cover 1 comprises a cylindrical wall 11 which has on its front face a dispensing nozzle 4, associated as known per se with a centering pin 16 formed in a transverse pillar 12 supporting an axial guide 13, the pillar 12 and the guide 13 having come from molding with the cover 1;
  • the axial guide 13 is provided with a cylindrical bore 14, of circular section, open at its lower end, and whose axis is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the container 2 and of the cover 1, and coincides with that of the rod 31 of pump 3;
  • a transverse passage 15 communicates the distribution nozzle 4 with the bore 14: thus, a distribution channel for the nozzle 4 is constituted by the passage 15 and the bore 14.
  • a connection means 6 is provided between this channel distribution 14-15 and pump 3.
  • connection means 6 comprises at its lower part a cylindrical housing 65 formed in its lower part 61 and in which is tightly fitted the operating rod 31 of the pump 3, which, as is known, is hollowed out with a passage 32; an axial stop 67 carried by the connection means 6 cooperates with the end of the rod 31, so that a vertical action on the connection means 6, as described below, is transmitted to the operating rod 31 of pump 3.
  • connection means 6 comprises at its upper part a cylindrical end piece 63 of circular section mounted to slide, in leaktight manner, in the bore 14 of the axial guide 13; sealing is ensured by a peripheral lip 66, better visible in FIG. 4, formed on the outer surface of the endpiece 63 and molded with the connection means 6.
  • connection means 6 is crossed by a passage 64; thus, when the assembly is mounted, the passage 32 of the hollow rod 31 of the pump 3 is permanently connected to the dispensing nozzle 4, via the passage 64, the bore 14, and the passage 15.
  • the dispensing device also comprises a lever-shaped actuating member 5; the lever 5 is articulated on the front of the cover 1, slightly above the dispensing nozzle 4: in the example shown, this articulation is produced by film hinges 51, the lever 5 and the cover 1 being molded together in one piece; of course, the articulation can be achieved otherwise, the cover 1 and the lever 5 being two separate, independent parts.
  • the lever 5 has a general shape of L having a substantially transverse wing 56 when the device is at rest, which closes the upper part of the cover 1, and an axial wing 57, connected by a wall in sectors 55: the cover 1 has a indentation 17 facilitating the gripping of the lever 5, the wall in sectors 55 in a way closing the opening created by the indentation 17.
  • the lever 5 constitutes an actuating member for the insertion of the operating rod 31 of the pump 3 for the implementation of the latter.
  • the wing 56 of the lever 5 carries two cams 52 extending in two planes parallel to each other and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the dispensing device; the two cams 52 are placed on either side of the axial guide 13; the profiles 53 of the cams 52 cooperate in operation with a circular circular collar 62 carried by the connection means 6 and placed axially between the end piece 63 of the connection means 6 and its lower part 61 which carries the cylindrical housing 65.
  • the wing 56 of the lever 5 is provided with a notch 54 allowing passage of the pillar 12 during the movement of the lever 5 around its articulation 51.
  • an action on the lever 5 switches it around its articulation 51, as shown in FIG. 2: the profiles 53 of the cams 52, by cooperating with the flange 62 of the connection means 6, exert an action on the rod 31 of the pump 3, action transmitted by the stop 67; when the action on the lever 5 is released, the return spring, not shown, associated with the rod 31 and provided in the pump 3, as is known, recalls the connection means 6 and therefore the lever 5 towards the position represented in the FIG. 1: by repeating the action described above on the lever 5, the pump 3 is implemented and liquid is distributed through the nozzle 4.
  • the connection means 6 being guided axially permanently in the axial guide 13, the transverse components of the forces on the rod 31 are minimized and lead to a good operation of the pump 3 by ensuring that it great longevity; the transverse components of the forces on the rod 31 can be further reduced if, advantageously, the profiles 53 of the cams 52 are profiles of involutes of a circle, these circles being centered on the articulation 51 of the lever 5, the lowest points of each of the profiles 53 of the cams 52, in contact with the flange 62, being located in the same plane passing through the axis of the rod 31 and of the connection means 6: the point of application of the forces transmitted by the two cams 52 is therefore on the axis of the rod 31.
  • the pump 3 is mounted eccentric with respect to the longitudinal axis of the container 2: therefore, the cover 1 must be oriented to correctly position the cover 1 and the axial guide 13 as well as the lever 5 relative to the pump 3, therefore to the container 2; this is obtained by giving a particular shape to the cross section of the container 2 and of the cover 1; this shape is for example oblong as is partially visible in FIG. 2.
  • the dispensing member is centered on the longitudinal axis of the container: according to this variant, a container 102, of revolution, carries inside a dispensing member consisting of a dispensing valve of which we see in 131 the operating rod; the pillar 112 carried by the cover 101 and supporting the guide 113 is longer than previously; the lever 105 acts, as before, on the connection means 6 which actuates the valve stem 131; the pressurized fluid contained in the container 102 allows the distribution of the liquid through the nozzle 104.
  • the container 102 and the cover 101 are of revolution and, as can be seen, it is not necessary to provide means for indexing the cover 101 relative to the container 102.
