La présente invention concerne un dispositif distributeur pour produits solides, hydrosolubles ou hydrodispersibles se plaçant en amont d'une pomme de douche ou d'une douchette.The present invention relates to a dispensing device for solid, water-soluble or water-dispersible products placed upstream of a shower head or a hand shower.
Des utilisateurs de douche ont souhaité retrouver ou trouver dans la douche la possibilité de recevoir de l'eau chargée en produit moussant ou parfumé ou lavant : tout comme la personne qui se trouve dans son bain, peut ajouter à l'eau des produits moussants ou parfumés ou lavants.Shower users wished to find or find in the shower the possibility of receiving water loaded with foaming or scented or washing product: just like the person who is in his bath, can add foaming products to the water or scented or washing.
Jusqu'à présent, les utilisateurs de douche ont deux possibilités : soit utiliser des appareils ne distribuant de tels produits que sous forme liquide seule¬ ment, soit se couvrir de tels produits avant tout lavage ou rinçage.Up to now, shower users have had two options: either use devices which distribute such products only in liquid form only, or cover themselves with such products before washing or rinsing.
Aussi, un des buts de la présente invention est-il de fournir un dispositif distributeur pour produits solides moussants ou parfumés ou lavants, qui se situe en amont d'une pomme de douche ou d'une douchette.Also, one of the aims of the present invention is to provide a dispensing device for foaming or scented or washing solid products, which is located upstream of a shower head or a hand shower.
Un autre but de la présente invention est de fournir un tel dispositif qui ne nécessite aucune adaptation des appareils de douche existant.Another object of the present invention is to provide such a device which does not require any adaptation of existing shower devices.
Ces buts, ainsi que d'autres qui apparaîtront par la suite, sont atteints par un dispositif distributeur pour produits solides, hydrosolubles ou hydrodisper¬ sibles se plaçant en amont d'une pomme de douche ou d'une douchette, qui est caractérisé, selon la présente invention, par le fait qu'il comprend, en premier lieu, un corps tubulaire dont une extrémité, ou première extrémité, est munie d'une saillie circulaire et comporte un filetage intérieur définissant un premier épaulement, et dont l'autre extrémité, ou seconde extrémité, est également filetée, en deuxième lieu, une pièce de raccordement cylindrique comportant une butée circulaire et deux filetages de part et d'autre d'elle, un premier filetage ou filetage externe dont le diamètre permet de coopérer avec le flexible d'une douche, et un second filetage ou filetage interne dont le diamètre permet le vissage de cette pièce dans la seconde extrémité du corps, l'extrémité de ce filetage interne constituant un second épaule¬ ment, et par le fait qu'à l'intérieur de ce corps et entre le premier et le second épaulement est définie une chambre, la paroi du corps comportant à ce niveau une fenêtre pour l'introduction d'un produit solide dans cette chambre, une bague d'obturation étant située autour dudit corps et pouvant coulisser entre la saillie circulaire et la butée circulaire. Avantageusement, ce dispositif distributeur comporte un premier joint torique entre le corps tubulaire et le filetage interne ; un deuxième joint torique est disposé entre la fenêtre et la saillie circulaire, un troisième joint torique étant dis¬ posé dans la bague d'obturation. Avantageusement, la pièce de raccordement comporte au niveau du second épaulement une grille.These aims, as well as others which will appear subsequently, are achieved by a dispensing device for solid, water-soluble or water-dispersible products placed upstream of a shower head or a hand shower, which is characterized, according to the present invention, in that it comprises, firstly, a tubular body, one end of which, or first end, is provided with a circular projection and has an internal thread defining a first shoulder, and the other end of which , or second end, is also threaded, in the second place, a cylindrical connecting piece comprising a circular stop and two threads on either side of it, a first thread or external thread whose diameter makes it possible to cooperate with the flexible a shower, and a second thread or internal thread whose diameter allows the screwing of this part in the second end of the body, the end of this internal thread constitutes killing a second shoulder, and by the fact that inside this body and between the first and the second shoulder is defined a chamber, the wall of the body comprising at this level a window for the introduction of a solid product in this chamber, a closure ring being located around said body and being able to slide between the circular projection and the circular stop. Advantageously, this dispensing device comprises a first O-ring between the tubular body and the internal thread; a second O-ring is arranged between the window and the circular projection, a third O-ring being placed in the closure ring. Advantageously, the connecting piece comprises at the second shoulder a grid.
La description qui va suivre et qui ne comporte aucun caractère limitatif doit être lue en regard des figures en annexe, parmi lesquelles :The description which follows and which does not include any limiting character must be read with reference to the appended figures, among which:
- la figure 1 est une vue de face d'un dispositif distributeur selon la pré- sente invention,FIG. 1 is a front view of a dispensing device according to the present invention,
- la figure 2 est une coupe longitudinale de l'objet de la figure 1 selon la ligne II - II.- Figure 2 is a longitudinal section of the object of Figure 1 along the line II - II.
Ainsi qu'on peut le voir sur les figures, un dispositif distributeur pour produit solide comprend un corps tubulaire 1 dont une extrémité 2, ou première extrémité, est munie d'une saillie circulaire 3 et comporte un filetage 4 intérieur dé¬ finissant un premier épaulement 5 à l'intérieur de ce corps tubulaire 1 Par ce file¬ tage, le dispositif distributeur, selon l'invention, peut être fixé à la sortie d'un robinet ou à l'arrière d'une douchette ou d'une pomme de douche.As can be seen in the figures, a dispenser device for solid product comprises a tubular body 1, one end 2 or first end of which is provided with a circular projection 3 and has an internal thread 4 defining a first shoulder 5 inside this tubular body 1 By this file¬ tage, the dispensing device according to the invention can be fixed at the outlet of a tap or at the back of a hand shower or an apple shower.
Ce dispositif distributeur comprend aussi une pièce de raccordement 6 cylindrique qui comporte une butée circulaire 7 de part et d'autre de laquelle sont situés deux filetages : un premier filetage 8, ou filetage externe, permettant au dis¬ positif distributeur d'être vissé au flexible d'une douche, et un second filetage 9, ou filetage externe, permettant le vissage de la pièce de raccordement 6 dans la se¬ conde extrémité du corps tubulaire 1. L'extrémité libre de ce second filetage 9 constitue un second épaulement 10.This dispensing device also comprises a cylindrical connecting piece 6 which comprises a circular stop 7 on either side of which are located two threads: a first thread 8, or external thread, allowing the dispensing device to be screwed to the flexible shower, and a second thread 9, or external thread, allowing the connection piece 6 to be screwed into the second end of the tubular body 1. The free end of this second thread 9 constitutes a second shoulder 10 .
A l'intérieur du corps tubulaire 1 , il est donc défini par la paroi interne de celui-ci et les premier 5 et second 10 épaulements une chambre 11. Le corps tubu¬ laire 1 est muni au niveau de cette chambre 11 , plus précisément au niveau du premier épaulement 5, d'une fenêtre 12 permettant l'introduction d'un produit solide hydrosoluble ou hydrodispersible à l'intérieur de cette chambre 11.Inside the tubular body 1, it is therefore defined by the internal wall of the latter and the first 5 and second 10 shoulders a chamber 11. The tubular body 1 is provided at the level of this chamber 11, more precisely at the first shoulder 5, a window 12 allowing the introduction of a solid water-soluble or water-dispersible product inside this chamber 11.
En outre, le dispositif distributeur selon la présente invention comprend une bague d'obturation 14 coulissant sur le corps tubulaire 1 entre la saillie circu¬ laire 3 et la butée circulaire 7.In addition, the dispensing device according to the present invention comprises a closure ring 14 sliding on the tubular body 1 between the circu¬ lar projection 3 and the circular stop 7.
Pour réaliser l'étanchéité de ce dispositif distributeur, celui-ci comprend, dans cet exemple de réalisation, trois joints toriques • - un premier 15 entre le filetage interne 9 et la paroi correspondante du corps tubu¬ laire 1To seal this dispensing device, it comprises, in this embodiment, three O-rings • - A first 15 between the internal thread 9 and the corresponding wall of the tubular body 1
- un deuxième 16 entre la bague d'obturation 14 et la paroi correspondante du corps tubulaire 1 Ce deuxième joint torique 16 est situé dans un logement 17 cir-a second 16 between the closure ring 14 and the corresponding wall of the tubular body 1 This second O-ring 16 is located in a housing 17 cir-
5 culaire ménagé dans la bague d'obturation et formant saillie à l'extérieur de cette bague cette saillie constitue avantageusement un moyen d'appui pour manoeuvrer cette bague 145 circular formed in the closure ring and projecting outside of this ring this projection advantageously constitutes a support means for operating this ring 14
- un troisième 18 dispose sur le corps tubulaire 1 entre la saillie circulaire 3 et la fenêtre 12 il coopère avec la bague d'obturation 14, lorsque celle-ci recouvre la- A third 18 has on the tubular body 1 between the circular projection 3 and the window 12 it cooperates with the closure ring 14, when the latter covers the
10 fenêtre 1210 window 12
Pour introduire un produit solide, hydrosoluble ou hydrodispersible com¬ portant notamment un produit moussant ou parfumant ou lavant dans le corps tubu¬ laire 1 , on repousse la bague d'obturation 14 contre la butée circulaire 7 afin de découvrir la fenêtre 12 par lequel est introduit le produit solide Celui-ci repose alors l " sur le premier épaulement 5 Puis, on obture la fenêtre 12 en faisant coulisser la bague d'obturation 14 sur le corps tubulaire 1 en direction de la saillie circulaire 3 lorsque la bague est en butée contre cette dernière, elle recouvre la fenêtre 12 ainsi que le troisième joint torique 18 Dans cette position, l'étanchéité de la fenêtre est assurée par les deuxième 16 et troisième 18 joints toriques qui se trouvent situés 0 de part et d'autre de cette fenêtre 12To introduce a solid, water-soluble or water-dispersible product comprising in particular a foaming or perfuming or washing product into the tubular body 1, the closure ring 14 is pushed against the circular stop 7 in order to uncover the window 12 through which is introduces the solid product This then rests l " on the first shoulder 5 Then, the window 12 is closed by sliding the closure ring 14 on the tubular body 1 in the direction of the circular projection 3 when the ring is in abutment against the latter, it covers the window 12 and the third O-ring 18 In this position, the window is sealed by the second 16 and third 18 O-rings which are located 0 on either side of this window 12
La pièce de raccordement 6 peut comporter au niveau du second épaulement 10 une grille 19 pour briser le jet et créer une turbulence dans la cham¬ bre 11 Cette turbulence permet en particulier de mieux dissoudre le produit solide présent dans cette chambre 5 Le produit solide hydrosoluble ou hydrodispersible peut aussi comporter, en association ou non, un désinfectant, un agent bactéricide ou un composé théra¬ peutique, par exempleThe connecting piece 6 may comprise at the second shoulder 10 a grid 19 to break the jet and create turbulence in the chamber 11 This turbulence makes it possible in particular to better dissolve the solid product present in this chamber 5 The water-soluble solid product or water dispersible may also comprise, in combination or not, a disinfectant, a bactericidal agent or a therapeutic compound, for example
Selon une variante de réalisation de la présente invention, le corps tu¬ bulaire peut dans sa paroi comporter un passage d'eau permettant de court-According to an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the tubular body may in its wall include a water passage allowing short-
