Abstract

The dispensing head uses a rigid conduit (11) with a first end connected to a valve (15) or pump. The second end is the product outlet and a controller (41) is provided for the valve or pump. A seal is provided for the second end of the conduit. The controller ensures that the outlet is opened at the same time, or generally at the same time, as the valve or pump are operated and the product (71) is dispensed. It also ensures that the outlet is closed under the action of the return mechanism (73) for the valve or pump.

Description

L'invention se rapporte à un dispositif de distribution à fermeture étanche du contenu d'un récipient pressurisé ou d'un récipient à pompe.The invention relates to a sealed closure distribution device for the contents of a pressurized container or a pump container.

On sait que le dispositif de distribution du contenu d'un récipient pressurisé, ou aérosol, de même que celui d'un récipient à pompe présente, généralement, l'inconvénient de ne pas protéger de l'air ambiant un volume résiduel de produit à distribuer qui reste dans la valve ou le distributeur après actionnement du dispositif. Il en résulte, pour certains produits à distribuer, un séchage ou une polymérisation entraînant une obturation de la valve, de la pompe et/ou du distributeur qui rend celui-ci inutilisable avec pour conséquence l'impossibilité de restituer le produit restant dans le récipient. Pour des produits spécifiques du type médicaments ou analogues, I'inconvénient rappelé ci-dessus des dispositifs connus peut également avoir pour conséquence une altération de la qualité et/ou une perte de stérilité du produit résiduel qui stagne au contact de l'air dans la valve, la pompe et/ou le distributeur, de sorte que, même si l'utilisateur prend la précaution de rejeter les premières fractions expulsées, le produit séjournant dans le récipient a été mis au contact avec une fraction altérée et peut être contaminé, ce qui le rend impropre à l'utilisation pour laquelle il est prévu.It is known that the device for distributing the content of a pressurized container, or aerosol, as well as that of a pump container has, generally, the disadvantage of not protecting a residual volume of product from the ambient air. dispense that which remains in the valve or the distributor after actuation of the device. As a result, for certain products to be dispensed, drying or polymerization resulting in blockage of the valve, the pump and / or the dispenser which makes it unusable with the consequence that it is impossible to return the product remaining in the container. . For specific products of the drug or analogous type, the drawback mentioned above of the known devices can also have the consequence of an alteration in the quality and / or a loss of sterility of the residual product which stagnates on contact with the air in the valve, pump and / or distributor, so that, even if the user takes the precaution of rejecting the first expelled fractions, the product remaining in the container has been brought into contact with an altered fraction and may be contaminated, this which makes it unfit for the use for which it is intended.

Pour tenter de pallier cet inconvénient, on a déjà proposé des dispositifs de valve d'aérosol à fermeture apicale voir, par exemple, US-A-3 506 165 ou FR-A-2 126 835. Dans ce dernier document, en particulier, est divulguée une valve de distribution pour aérosol dans laquelle un bouchon monté à coulissement dans un alésage peut être déplacé à l'aide d'un poussoir et contre l'action d'un ressort pour dégager une embouchure de sortie du produit contenu dans l'aérosol. La présence du ressort et le fait qu'au bouchon soit associés une tige de valve et un joint à lèvre font que l'ensemble comporte encore trop de pièces individuelles à assembler, ce qui grève d'autant le coût de fabrication et de montage pour des dispositifs qui doivent impérativement être bon-marché.In an attempt to overcome this drawback, aerosol valve devices with apical closure have already been proposed, see, for example, US-A-3,506,165 or FR-A-2,126,835. In this latter document, in particular, is disclosed an aerosol dispensing valve in which a plug mounted to slide in a bore can be moved using a pusher and against the action of a spring to release an outlet mouth of the product contained in the aerosol. The presence of the spring and the fact that the valve plug is associated with a valve stem and a lip seal means that the assembly still has too many individual parts to assemble, which increases the manufacturing and mounting cost for devices that must be inexpensive.

De plus, la valve du FR-A-2 126 835 est directement adaptée sur les récipients sous pression. Elle ne peut donc pas équiper les aérosols standards déjà munis d'une valve.In addition, the valve of FR-A-2 126 835 is directly adapted to the pressure vessels. It cannot therefore equip standard aerosols already fitted with a valve.

Le problème se pose, par conséquent, de fournir un dispositif de distribution du contenu d'un récipient pressurisé ou d'un récipient à pompe à fermeture apicale, de structure plus simple que celle des dispositifs connus, indépendant de la valve et/ou de la pompe.The problem therefore arises of providing a device for distributing the content of a pressurized container or of a pump container with apical closure, of simpler structure than that of known devices, independent of the valve and / or the pump.

C'est, d'une façon générale, un but de l'invention d'apporter une solution à ce problème.It is, in general, an object of the invention to provide a solution to this problem.

Sur les figures 1 à 11, l'on a utilisé les mêmes références pour désigner les mêmes éléments.In FIGS. 1 to 11, the same references have been used to designate the same elements.

On se réfère d'abord aux figures 1 et 2 qui montrent un dispositif selon l'invention tel qu'associé à un récipient aérosol, cette indication n'ayant cependant aucun caractère limitatif dans la mesure où le dispositif peut également équiper un récipient à pompe pour spray ou analogue. Dans la forme de réalisation décrite et représentée, le dispositif 10 comporte une canalisation rigide 11 coudée à 90° dont une première extrémité 13 est raccordée à une conduite de sortie 14 d'une valve 15 d'un aérosol 17. La conduite 11 est guidée en translation parallèlement à l'axe de la valve 15 par un capot 18. Une première branche 19 de la conduite 11, illustrée en position verticale, débouche à son extrémité opposée à l'extrémité 13 dans une chambre 21, illustrée en position horizontale, formant une deuxième branche de la conduite 11 et recevant un pointeau 23 monté en translation et laissant dépasser par une ouverture d'extrémité 25 un organe de préhension 27. Une extrémité 29 de la chambre 21 opposée à l'ouverture 25 forme un orifice de distribution du produit. Le pointeau 23 comporte une pointe 31 formant obturateur de l'orifice de distribution 29, suivie par un piston 32, une tige 33 s'étendant sur la majeure partie de la longueur de la chambre 21, un piston 35 assurant l'étanchéité au niveau de l'ouverture 25 et une gorge 37 terminée par une protubérance 39. Avantageusement, les dimensions, notamment le diamètre dans l'exemple illustré, des pistons 32 et 35 correspondent à l'alésage de la chambre 21, le piston 32 comportant un passage pour le produit à distribuer.Reference is first made to FIGS. 1 and 2 which show a device according to the invention as associated with an aerosol container, this indication however having no limiting character insofar as the device can also equip a pump container for spray or the like. In the embodiment described and shown, the device 10 comprises a rigid pipe 11 bent at 90 °, a first end 13 of which is connected to an outlet pipe 14 of a valve 15 of an aerosol 17. The pipe 11 is guided in translation parallel to the axis of the valve 15 by a cover 18. A first branch 19 of the pipe 11, illustrated in a vertical position, opens at its end opposite to the end 13 in a chamber 21, illustrated in the horizontal position, forming a second branch of the pipe 11 and receiving a needle 23 mounted in translation and leaving projecting through an end opening 25 a gripping member 27. One end 29 of the chamber 21 opposite the opening 25 forms a dispensing orifice of the product. The needle 23 has a point 31 forming a shutter of the dispensing orifice 29, followed by a piston 32, a rod 33 extending over most of the length of the chamber 21, a piston 35 ensuring the seal at of the opening 25 and a groove 37 terminated by a protuberance 39. Advantageously, the dimensions, in particular the diameter in the example illustrated, of the pistons 32 and 35 correspond to the bore of the chamber 21, the piston 32 having a passage for the product to be distributed.

Un organe mécanique de commande 41 en S (figures 1 à 3) ou en L (figures 4 et 5) comporte un premier bras 43 comprenant un dispositif de manoeuvre 45 de l'organe de préhension 27 du pointeau 23, notamment une fourchette et un second bras 47 avantageusement orthogonal au premier bras et comportant, sur une première face, une protubérance 49 d'appui glissant sur la conduite 11 et sur une face opposée, de préférence à son extrémité, un élément 51, par exemple, un bord arrondi de réception d'un doigt 53 de l'utilisateur lui permettant d'appuyer sur l'organe mécanique de commande 41. Dans l'exemple de réalisation de la figure 4, une bosse forme la protubérance 49 alors qu'elle se présente sous la forme d'un bourrelet s'étendant sur la largeur de l'organe 41 dans l'exemple de réalisation de la figure 5. Des moyens 55 de guidage en rotation autour d'un axe perpendiculaire au plan du S ou du L de l'organe mécanique de commande 41, notamment une ou des ouverture(s) de réception d'un axe ou, au contraire, des picots formant l'axe de rotation sont ménagés avantageusement à l'intersection du premier bras 43 et du second bras 47.A mechanical control member 41 in S (Figures 1 to 3) or in L (Figures 4 and 5) has a first arm 43 comprising an operating device 45 for the gripping member 27 of the needle 23, in particular a fork and a second arm 47 advantageously orthogonal to the first arm and comprising, on a first face, a protrusion 49 of support sliding on the pipe 11 and on an opposite face, preferably at its end, an element 51, for example, a rounded edge for receiving a finger 53 of the user allowing him to press on the mechanical control member 41. In the embodiment of FIG. 4, a bump forms the protuberance 49 while it is in the form of a bead extending over the width of the member 41 in the embodiment of FIG. 5. Means 55 for guiding in rotation about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the S or L of the mechanical control member 41, in particular a or apertures for receiving an axis or, on the contrary, spikes forming the axis of rotation are advantageously provided at the intersection of the first arm 43 and the second arm 47.

Dans une variante de réalisation permettant la distribution de doses individuelles de produits, l'actionnement de la valve ou, de préférence, de la pompe et l'ouverture de l'obturateur 23, 31 de l'orifice 29 de distribution ne sont pas simultanés. L'on remplit, tout d'abord, l'espace de la chambre 21 laissé libre par le pointeau 23, puis l'on ouvre l'obturateur et l'on délivre la dose désirée du produit. La valeur de cette dose est déterminée par la capacité de l'espace libre de la chambre 21 qui peut être ajustée lors de la conception du dispositif selon la présente invention à la valeur désirée en jouant sur la capacité de la chambre 21 et sur le volume occupé dans cette chambre par le pointeau 23. Par exemple, l'on peut augmenter la valeur de la dose en diminuant le diamètre de la tige 33.In an alternative embodiment allowing the distribution of individual doses of products, the actuation of the valve or, preferably, of the pump and the opening of the shutter 23, 31 of the dispensing orifice 29 are not simultaneous . First, the space in the chamber 21 left free by the needle 23 is filled, then the shutter is opened and the desired dose of the product is delivered. The value of this dose is determined by the capacity of the free space of the chamber 21 which can be adjusted during the design of the device according to the present invention to the desired value by varying the capacity of the chamber 21 and the volume occupied in this room by the needle 23. For example, the value of the dose can be increased by decreasing the diameter of the rod 33.

L'ouverture 29 formant l'orifice de distribution est adaptée au produit à distribuer (gel, mousse, gouttelettes atomisées) ainsi qu'aux modes de distribution préconisés par le fabricant. L'orifice de distribution peut être formé par une simple ouverture, par exemple cylindrique, pratiquée dans une paroi. Dans l'exemple illustré sur les figures 1 à 4, l'orifice de distribution est une ouverture pratiquée dans l'extrémité tronconique de la chambre 21. De même, l'orifice peut être ménagé à une extrémité effilée de la chambre 21 (non illustrée) facilitant la distribution du produit dans des recoins difficilement accessibles.The opening 29 forming the dispensing orifice is adapted to the product to be dispensed (gel, foam, atomized droplets) as well as to the dispensing methods recommended by the manufacturer. The dispensing orifice can be formed by a simple opening, for example cylindrical, made in a wall. In the example illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4, the dispensing orifice is an opening made in the frustoconical end of the chamber 21. Likewise, the orifice can be formed at a tapered end of the chamber 21 (not illustrated) facilitating the distribution of the product in places that are difficult to access.

Sur la figure 6, l'on peut voir une conduite 11 comportant des moyens 57 de fixation provisoire d'une canule 59 (figure 7), d'une aiguille d'injection 61 (figure 8) ou d'un filtre (non illustré). Les canules 59 ou aiguilles d'injection 61 peuvent être jetées après un usage unique. Les moyens 57 comportent par exemple un nez effilé permettant d'enfiler à force la canule 59 ou l'aiguille d'injection 61.In FIG. 6, a pipe 11 can be seen comprising means 57 for temporarily fixing a cannula 59 (FIG. 7), an injection needle 61 (FIG. 8) or a filter (not illustrated). ). Cannulas 59 or needles 61 can be discarded after single use. The means 57 comprise for example a tapered nose making it possible to thread the cannula 59 or the injection needle 61 by force.

Comme l'on peut le voir sur la figure 9, I'étanchéité au niveau de l'orifice de distribution 29 peut avantageusement être améliorée en disposant un joint 63 notamment en élastomère, par exemple cylindrique ou conique, à l'extrémité de la pointe 31. De même, l'on peut améliorer l'étanchéité au niveau de l'ouverture 25 de la chambre 21 en munissant le cylindre 35 ou la gorge 37 d'un joint, par exemple torique (non illustré).As can be seen in FIG. 9, the seal at the level of the dispensing orifice 29 can advantageously be improved by placing a seal 63 in particular made of elastomer, for example cylindrical or conical, at the end of the tip. 31. Likewise, the seal can be improved at the opening 25 of the chamber 21 by providing the cylinder 35 or the groove 37 with a seal, for example an O-ring (not shown).

Sur la figure 10, l'on peut voir un dispositif unique selon l'invention recevant une pluralité de cartouches aérosols 17.1 ... 17.i ... 17.n (n étant égal à 2 dans l'exemple non limitatif illustré) comportant une pluralité de produits pouvant être mélangés et/ou distribués simultanément. Pour obtenir le mélange des produits à l'extérieur du dispositif selon l'invention, en l'air ou sur un support d'application, l'on dirige les orifices 29 des diverses canalisations 11 dans sensiblement la même direction. Par exemple, les chambres 21 de toutes les canalisations 11 ont des axes parallèles ou légèrement convergents. Le dispositif selon l'invention de la figure 10 permet, par exemple, de distribuer simultanément une résine (aérosol 17.1) et son durcisseur (aérosol 17.2). Il est bien entendu que sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention, n peut être égal à 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ou plus.In FIG. 10, one can see a single device according to the invention receiving a plurality of aerosol cartridges 17.1 ... 17.i ... 17.n (n being equal to 2 in the nonlimiting example illustrated) comprising a plurality of products which can be mixed and / or distributed simultaneously. To obtain the mixture of products outside the device according to the invention, in the air or on an application support, the orifices 29 of the various pipes 11 are directed in substantially the same direction. For example, the chambers 21 of all the pipes 11 have parallel or slightly convergent axes. The device according to the invention of Figure 10 allows, for example, to simultaneously dispense a resin (aerosol 17.1) and its hardener (aerosol 17.2). It is understood that without departing from the scope of the present invention, n can be equal to 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or more.

Nous allons maintenant expliquer le fonctionnement de l'exemple de réalisation du dispositif selon l'invention des figures 1 et 2.We will now explain the operation of the embodiment of the device according to the invention of FIGS. 1 and 2.

Comme illustré sur la figure 1, l'obturateur 23 ferme de manière étanche l'orifice de distribution 29, la valve 15 étant également fermée. Lorsque, comme illustré sur la figure 2, l'utilisateur appuie avec le doigt 53 sur l'élément 51, d'une part, la protubérance 49 appuie sur la conduite 11 selon la flèche 65, ce qui provoque la descente de la conduite 11 qui appuie sur la valve 15 et en provoque l'ouverture et, d'autre part, la rotation 67 de l'organe 41 autour de l'axe 55 (solidarisé avec le capot 18) avec traction de la fourchette 45 sur la protubérance 39 selon la flèche 69 assurant le recul du pointeau 23 qui dégage l'orifice de distribution 29 permettant la distribution du produit 71, par exemple sous forme de gouttelettes atomisées. Ayant effectué la pulvérisation désirée, l'utilisateur relâche la pression du doigt 53 sur l'organe mécanique de commande 41 qui remonte en sens inverse de la flèche 65 sous l'action d'un élément de rappel de la valve 15, par exemple un ressort 73. En remontant, l'organe de commande 41 tourne autour de l'axe 55 en sens inverse de la flèche 67 et la fourchette 45 pousse sur l'épaulement formé par le piston 35 à l'extrémité de la gorge 37 dans le sens inverse de la flèche 69 entraînant en translation le pointeau 23 et, partant, assurant l'obturation de l'orifice 29. L'on se retrouve dans la condition illustrée sur la figure 1. Le produit résiduel contenu dans la canalisation 14 externe de la valve 15 et dans la canalisation 11 est isolé, confiné et donc protégé contre sa dégradation, notamment contre la polymérisation, le dessèchement ou la contamination chimique ou microbienne par le milieu ambiant.As illustrated in Figure 1, the shutter 23 seals the dispensing orifice 29, the valve 15 also being closed. When, as illustrated in FIG. 2, the user presses with his finger 53 on the element 51, on the one hand, the protuberance 49 presses on the pipe 11 according to the arrow 65, which causes the descent of the pipe 11 which presses on the valve 15 and causes it to open and, on the other hand, the rotation 67 of the member 41 around the axis 55 (secured to the cover 18) with traction of the fork 45 on the protuberance 39 according to arrow 69 ensuring the retraction of the needle 23 which clears the dispensing orifice 29 allowing the dispensing of the product 71, for example in the form of atomized droplets. Having carried out the desired spraying, the user releases the pressure of the finger 53 on the mechanical control member 41 which rises in the opposite direction from the arrow 65 under the action of a return element of the valve 15, for example a spring 73. Going back up, the control member 41 rotates around the axis 55 in the opposite direction to the arrow 67 and the fork 45 pushes on the shoulder formed by the piston 35 at the end of the groove 37 in the opposite direction to the arrow 69 driving in translation the needle 23 and, consequently, ensuring the obturation of the orifice 29. The is found in the condition illustrated in FIG. 1. The residual product contained in the external line 14 of the valve 15 and in the line 11 is isolated, confined and therefore protected against its degradation, in particular against polymerization, drying out or contamination. chemical or microbial by the ambient environment.

Avantageusement, le capot 18 comporte un élément brisable 75 assurant l'inviolabilité du produit en empêchant la translation du pointeau 23. Il suffit au consommateur d'effectuer l'ablation de l'élément brisable pour pouvoir utiliser l'aérosol selon la présente invention.Advantageously, the cover 18 comprises a breakable element 75 ensuring the inviolability of the product by preventing the translation of the needle 23. It suffices for the consumer to perform the ablation of the breakable element to be able to use the aerosol according to the present invention.

Le capot peut comporter des éléments décoratifs, comme par exemple une jupe longue couvrant au moins partiellement le ou les récipient(s) pressurisé(s).The cover may include decorative elements, such as for example a long skirt covering at least partially the pressurized container (s).

Il est bien entendu que l'invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples illustrés et décrits donnés uniquement à titre indicatif, mais s'étend à tout dispositif permettant l'ouverture simultanée ou alternée (cas du dosage) de l'orifice de distribution du produit et l'actionnement d'une valve ou d'une pompe de distribution de produits. L'on peut notamment utiliser des canalisations 11 rigides non coudées, avec ou sans ouvertures 25 ou des obturateurs externes de l'orifice 29 de distribution de produits sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention.It is understood that the invention is not limited to the illustrated and described examples given for information only, but extends to any device allowing the simultaneous or alternating opening (case of dosing) of the dispensing orifice product and actuation of a product distribution valve or pump. One can in particular use rigid pipes 11 not bent, with or without openings 25 or external shutters of the orifice 29 for dispensing products without departing from the scope of the present invention.

Selon un mode réalisation préféré représenté à la figure 11 et mettant à profit l'élasticité de la matière plastique, la pièce 47 est remplacée par la pièce 77 qui est articulée autour d'un axe 175 solidaire du capot et situé à l'avant sensiblement au-dessus de l'extrémité 29. Le piston obturateur 35 présente un joint à lèvre venant de moulage. La pièce 77 présente une région d'appui arrière 78, plus ergonomique que précédemment. La pièce 77 et le capot forment une seule pièce moulée. La pièce 77 présente une région 79 d'appui sur la partie arrière de la conduite 11. Par actionnement, sur la région d'appui arrière 78, la pièce 77 pivote autour de l'axe 175 tout en fléchissant vers l'arrière la fourchette 80 disposée à l'opposé de l'extrémité 29, ce qui entraîne le recul du pointeau 23. Cette variante s'applique également aux cas des versions multicanal et dispositif doseur.According to a preferred embodiment shown in Figure 11 and taking advantage of the elasticity of the plastic, the part 47 is replaced by the part 77 which is articulated around an axis 175 integral with the cover and located at the front substantially above the end 29. The shutter piston 35 has a lip seal coming from molding. The part 77 has a rear support region 78, more ergonomic than previously. The part 77 and the cover form a single molded part. The part 77 has a support region 79 on the rear part of the pipe 11. By actuation, on the rear support region 78, the part 77 pivots about the axis 175 while bending the fork backwards 80 arranged opposite the end 29, which causes the needle 23 to recede. This variant also applies to the cases of the multichannel and metering device versions.

La présente invention s'applique notamment aux produits gazeux, liquides ou pâteux conditionnés dans un récipient, notamment jetables, de type aérosols ou à pompe.The present invention applies in particular to gaseous, liquid or pasty products packaged in a container, in particular disposable, of aerosol or pump type.

La présente invention s'applique principalement au conditionnement des aliments, des cosmétiques, des produits pharmaceutiques (humains et vétérinaires), des lubrifiants, des peintures, des mastics et/ou des colles.The present invention applies mainly to the packaging of food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical products (human and veterinary), lubricants, paints, sealants and / or glues.
