Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for actuating an aerosol can dispensing valve, and more specifically a device making it possible to move the hollow operating rod of a dispensing valve for an aerosol can, and this , for all possible positions of the container.
  • valve of the aerosol For the metered distribution of many products packaged in aerosols, in particular cosmetic products, it is desirable to be able to actuate the valve of the aerosol can that the latter is in the "head up” position in which the operating rod of the dispensing valve is inclined or vertical, directed upwards, or in the "upside down” position, in which the operating rod of the dispensing valve is inclined or vertical, directed downwards.
  • the mixing of the dye and the oxidant just before use can be carried out in the absence of air in a closed mixing container provided with application means, as described for example in the French patent application. 93 15442 from the applicant company, or, more conventionally, in a mixing bowl from which the coloring product is applied to the hair by a separate application means.
  • the dye contained in an aerosol can is introduced from bottom to top into the mixing container by means of an opening located in the bottom of the mixing container and provided with a valve, in particular of the membrane type, with automatic closure.
  • the aerosol can is for this purpose provided with a nozzle capable of cooperating with the bottom wall of the mixing container to cause actuation of the actuating rod of the aerosol canister distribution valve.
  • the endpiece comprises a plate, in the form of a disc, provided with a central dome-shaped protuberance, internally comprising a cylindrical axial duct opening into an outlet orifice at the top of said protuberance, and an interior cavity in communication with said duct and comprising at least one recessing surface arranged in such a way that, when a hollow operating rod of a valve for dispensing an aerosol can is introduced into the cylindrical conduit, said recessing surface constitutes a stop allowing movement relative of the operating rod relative to the body of the aerosol can and the expulsion of the product contained in the aerosol can through the outlet.
  • the connecting piece does not allow simple and reliable actuation of the operating rod of the dispensing valve of the aerosol can for any "upside down" position thereof.
  • the object of the present invention is precisely to propose an actuating device which, while having the characteristics mentioned above of a connection nozzle for ensuring actuation of the dispensing valve of the aerosol can in the "head up" position, allows easy and reliable actuation of the dispensing valve for any other position of the aerosol can.
  • the device according to the present invention which comprises a disc-shaped plate provided with a central protuberance, in particular in the form of a dome, as described above, is essentially characterized by the fact that said plate is arranged transversely in a cylindrical hoop capable of being fixed on an upper flange of the aerosol can, and connected at its periphery to said cylindrical hoop by connecting means, such as film hinges, allowing a displacement of the plate relative to said hoop fixed to the aerosol can, and that a lever mechanism is provided, for manual actuation of said device, comprising an actuating tab projecting upwards from a peripheral edge of said wafer and a stop disposed above the peripheral edge of said wafer, at a location diametrically opposite to said actuating tab.
  • the actuating tab and the stop are produced, diametrically opposite, on a ring whose internal diameter is slightly smaller than the outside diameter of said plate, said ring being connected to said hoop by an articulated connecting part allowing the ring to be brought above the plate, means, such as cooperating latching means , being further provided for fixing the ring on the wafer, preferably in the immediate vicinity of its peripheral edge.
  • the actuating tab advantageously has an L-shaped section, the upper horizontal branch of which constitutes a support zone for the user's finger.
  • the stop is preferably made by a branch of a rigid tongue, L-shaped section, connecting the ring to the connecting portion thereof with the cylindrical hoop.
  • the device according to the invention comprises a disc-shaped plate 1, provided centrally with a dome-shaped protuberance.
  • the protrusion 2 internally comprises a cylindrical axial conduit 3 opening into an outlet orifice 4 at its upper part.
  • the protrusion 2 also includes an interior cavity 5 in communication with the conduit 3 and having a recessed bearing surface 6.
  • the recessed bearing surface 6 is intended to constitute a stop for the operating rod 7 of a distribution valve (not shown) an aerosol can 8 provided with an upper flange 9.
  • the disc-shaped plate 1 is connected at its periphery by bridges of material 10, constituting film hinges, to a cylindrical hoop 11 capable of being secured to the collar 9 of the aerosol can 8.
  • the cylindrical hoop 11 consists of two cylindrical skirts joined by a recessed bearing 12.
  • the cylindrical skirt 11 is joined by a zone of reduced thickness 13 to a branch 14 of an L-shaped tongue, 15, the other branch 16 of which is integral with a ring 17 which is best seen in FIG. 3.
  • the ring 17 has an inside diameter slightly smaller than the outside diameter of the wafer 1.
  • the ring 17 comprises, at a location diametrically opposite the tongue 15, an L-shaped actuation tab, 18, whose upper horizontal branch 19 constitutes, as will be explained below, a bearing surface for the finger of a user.
  • the other branch of the tab 18 has at its end a protruding stud 20 designed to engage in a retaining orifice 21 formed in the plate 1 in the vicinity of its peripheral edge.
  • the device according to the invention can be produced in one piece by molding plastic material, in particular polypropylene.
  • the device as illustrated in FIG. 2, is mounted on an aerosol canister, by placing the cylindrical skirt 11 on the upper flange 9 of the aerosol can 8 until reaching the position illustrated in FIG. 1 , after which, the assembly consisting of the tongue 15, the ring 17 and the tab 18 is folded around the hinge formed by the zone of reduced thickness 13 up to the position illustrated in FIG. 1 in which the connection of the assembly with the plate 1 is effected by engagement of the stud 20 in the corresponding orifice 21.
  • the movement of the operating rod 7 of the dispensing valve of the aerosol can 8 is effected by exerting a vertical support on the disc 1, as illustrated by the arrows in FIG. 4.
  • This movement can be ensured by pressing on the disc 1 of an annular surface 22 projecting from the bottom of the container to be filled.
  • This annular bearing surface 22 passes through the ring 17 and comes to bear on the plate, the displacement of which causes an axial displacement of the operating rod 7.
  • a support is exerted on the branch 19 of the lug 18 in the direction of the arrow illustrated in FIG. 6, this support, combined with a diametrically opposite abutment abutment from the peripheral edge of the wafer 1 on the branch 16 of the tongue 15, causing a displacement, by leverage, of the plate 1 and the protuberance 2 located thereon, causing a slightly deflected but nevertheless sufficient displacement of the operating rod 7 to actuate the valve.
