Definitions

  • the invention relates to a distribution assembly for a fluid or solid product according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the distribution assembly can in particular be used in the cosmetic fields for the application of a deodorant, pharmaceutical for the application of insect repellents, as well as in the fields of glues, paints or polishes.
  • this distribution set is intended for the application of a body deodorant.
  • Document FR-A-2 713 060 in the name of the applicant, describes a dispensing assembly comprising a container of pressurized liquid, provided with a dispensing valve and an applicator member comprising a porous dome, fixed on the container.
  • This dome is maintained by a support mechanically linked to a hoop fixed on the container.
  • the porous dome is soaked with liquid.
  • a surplus of product may remain in the dome and flow along the container to accumulate between the hoop and the latter.
  • the accumulated product will flow on the surface to be treated, in particular when the unit is tilted.
  • this surplus product will flow along the wall of the container, risking splashing the user.
  • the grip of the container will be soiled.
  • the first was to decrease the valve flow. However, this decrease delayed product release and did not prevent product run-off.
  • the second was to increase the stiffness of the valve spring to avoid prolonged actuation of the valve. The user would then feel a feeling of discomfort due to the difficulty of applying the assembly to the surface to be treated.
  • the third solution was to increase the retention volume of the porous dome. However, the product leakage phenomenon would only be delayed, without reducing it quantitatively.
  • the present invention therefore aims to remedy the drawbacks mentioned above.
  • the present invention aims, above all, to propose a distribution assembly as defined above, which avoids the accumulation of product between the cover. and the container may contaminate the walls of the container, while ensuring good maintenance of the cover on the tank.
  • the present invention therefore relates to a product distribution assembly comprising a container containing a product to be distributed, a product distribution member in communication with the container, a cap provided with a cover covering the fixed distribution member. on the container, the cap comprising at least two orifices, characterized in that the cap comprises a hoop mounted on the container and ensuring the maintenance of the cover on the container, at least one of said orifices of the cap being placed in the hoop, the two orifices being arranged to generate air circulation in the interior volume of the cap.
  • At least two orifices are arranged at different heights along an axis (X) of symmetry of the dispensing assembly, so as to ensure good air circulation inside the cap.
  • At least one orifice is disposed in a wall of the cover.
  • the cap has at least two orifices arranged at different heights along the axis (X).
  • the wall of the cover can comprise an upper surface and a lateral surface.
  • Each of these surfaces of the cover may include at least one orifice.
  • the distribution assembly according to the invention may comprise at least one orifice in the hoop and at least an orifice in the cover, and preferably in the upper surface of the cover. This arrangement promotes good air circulation.
  • the distribution assembly may include means of connection between the distribution member and the hoop, which allows easy manipulation of the assembly by the user and provides flexibility of operation.
  • the connecting means may consist of several flexible tongues distributed regularly between the applicator member and the hoop.
  • the number of orifices present on the cap as well as their size can be various.
  • the cap can have from 2 to 10 orifices and their size, independently for each orifice, can range from 0.5 mm to 10 mm in diameter.
  • the distribution member of the assembly according to the invention may advantageously be an application member having an external application surface.
  • This applicator member makes it possible to apply the product dispensed directly to the surface to be treated.
  • the applicator member can be made of a rigid or deformable material.
  • the applicator member may be an open-cell foam, a sponge or better still a sinter.
  • the dispensing member can also consist of a spraying member and in particular a push button provided with a spraying nozzle.
  • the container of the assembly according to the invention can be a pressurized container, equipped with a product distribution valve provided with a hollow valve stem having a product inlet and outlet.
  • the container could be a manually operated vial or flexible tube.
  • the dispensing member can be fixed directly to the hollow valve stem.
  • the dispensing member can be carried by a support, the support being fixed on the hollow valve stem. The hollow rod and / or the support provides a mechanical connection between the dispensing member and the container.
  • the dispensing assembly of the invention is entirely suitable for dispensing a body deodorant.
  • another object of the present invention is a body deodorant applicator assembly consisting of a dispensing assembly as defined above.
  • the invention consists, apart from the arrangements set out above, of a certain number of other arrangements which will be explained below, with regard to an exemplary embodiment described with reference to the appended figures, but which are in no way limiting. .
  • Figure 1 is an axial section of an application assembly according to a first variant of the invention.
  • Figure 2 is a section, similar to Figure 1, of an application assembly according to a second variant of the invention.
  • an application assembly designated as a whole by the reference 2, having an axis X of symmetry and comprising a container 4, generally cylindrical, pressurized with a gas propellant.
  • This container carries at its upper end a valve cup 5 8 fixed to the container by a crimping bead 6.
  • the valve cup 5 carries, along the axis X, the distribution valve 8 which, in the case of the present example, is a male valve comprising an emerging hollow rod 10.
  • This valve is a valve with lateral deformation, also called tilt valve, the opening of which is effected by lateral tilting of the rod 10, or a valve with axial depression.
  • the container also contains a liquid product to be dispensed, for example a cosmetic product.
  • the application assembly 2 further comprises an application member 12 which comprises a porous dome 14 of sintered material provided with an upper surface 16, slightly curved, convex towards the outside.
  • This dome also has a flat bottom surface 18 perpendicular to the axis X and a cylindrical lateral surface 20, of revolution around the axis X.
  • the bottom surface 18 has in its center, along the axis X, a bore 22 allowing the forced insertion of the free end 11 of the hollow valve stem 10.
  • the application assembly 2 also includes a cover 24 and a hoop 42 playing the role of cap.
  • the cover 24 has an upper surface 28 and a cylindrical side surface 30 of revolution around the axis X.
  • the hoop 42 has a cylindrical skirt 44 of revolution around the axis X which is fixed to the container 4 by an annular ring 32, located at the lower end of the skirt 44, which cooperates with an annular groove 34 located in the external wall of the container, at the limit of the convex upper part 33 of the container.
  • the upper end of the skirt 44 has an annular shoulder 48 on which the lower end of the lateral surface 30 of the cover 24 is snapped in. This arrangement ensures the maintenance of the cover 24 on the hoop 42.
  • the cover 24 and the hoop 42 thus fixed cover the applicator member 12.
  • the upper surface 28 of the cover has an orifice 36 and the cylindrical skirt 44 of the hoop 42 is provided with an orifice 38 the size of which can be example of 2 mm in diameter. These orifices, by their arrangement, ensure air circulation in the interior volume of the cap.
  • the user removes the cover 24 from the hoop 42 and then exerts pressure or pressure on the upper surface 16 of the porous dome 14.
  • the application member 12 switches or s 'depresses (depending on the type of valve) and causes, by tilting or depressing the valve stem 10, the opening thereof.
  • the product then diffuses into the porous dome 14 and spreads over its upper surface 16.
  • the device of the invention therefore makes it possible to keep such a set of application clean despite the product run-off which can occur between two uses.
  • FIG. 2 shows an application assembly which differs from that of FIG. 1 by the fact that the application member 12 is held by force in a support 50 provided with a peripheral skirt 52 and an end piece 54 The free end 11 of the valve stem 10 is forcibly engaged in the end piece 54.
  • the support 50 is connected by its peripheral skirt 52 to the cylindrical skirt 44 of the hoop 42 by flexible tongues 56. This connection allows flexible actuation of the applicator member 12 and provides a feeling of comfort for the user.
  • this arrangement can be used in the application assembly of FIG. 1.
  • an orifice could have been provided at the upper end of the lateral surface 30 of the cover or of the skirt 44 of the hoop.
  • a third, even fourth, hole could have been made on the surface 28 of the cover and / or on the surface 30 and 44 respectively of the cover and the skirt.
