Definitions
- the present invention relates to liquid dispensers operated by a movable tongue pressing on an ejection nozzle a pressure tank.
- the technical sector of the invention is the field of manufacture of sanitary and similar devices which can be installed in any place where a user may need to moisten a support or any object suitable for cleaning, for example.
- One of the main applications of the invention is the realization paper, fabric, cotton, sponge or other media moistener similar, can be operated using one hand only said support; which humidifier is intended to be installed in all places where it may be necessary to humidify, with water or a cleaning product or disinfectant etc, such a medium more or less absorbent which is normally dry such as for example in sanitary rooms, W-Cs, toilets, kitchens etc.
- a cleaning product or disinfectant etc such a medium more or less absorbent which is normally dry such as for example in sanitary rooms, W-Cs, toilets, kitchens etc.
- This document teaches in particular the combination of a articulated tongue and a source of liquid leading to a nozzle arranged so as to spray said liquid towards the support to be moistened when it is pressed on the tongue; one spring or another elastic element returns the latter to its rest position when the pressure on the tab stops, causing the interruption of the spray.
- the problem is therefore to be able to make a distributor of liquid following the same principle as those described in the two patent applications cited above, but according to an embodiment simplified, moreover having an aesthetic pleasing to the eye, allowing its installation anywhere, using as few parts as possible possible, thereby reducing its cost; while ensuring all functions necessary for its implementation, namely, the holding of the liquid reservoir under pressure, triggering of the tank nozzle by any means tongue type that can be easily operated with one hand without having to drop an object that we would hold in this hand to moisten it with the liquid contained in the tank and allowing the fixing of the assembly on all supports.
- a solution to the problem posed is a product distributor liquid comprising in a known manner a reservoir containing said pressurized liquid and equipped with a nozzle causing by its moving the opening of a valve releasing the liquid, at least two support means receiving and immobilizing said tank, at least one means for fixing the support means capable of holding the dispenser in any desired position, and a tongue hinged relative to a support means and comprising an orifice through which is disposed said nozzle; according to the invention at least all of the support means, the fixing means and the tongue is made of a single piece comprising at least one part consisting of a strip of the same material forming a V, one branch of which constitutes said tab, the other at least one of the tank supports, and the base joint connecting these two branches ensures the articulation of the tongue; it is certain that this common base, or more or less rounded edge, in particular according to the material chosen, is not a joint at the mechanical sense of the term and such as current devices in include: in fact this deformable zone due to the folding of the
- the branch constituting one of the tank supports is pierced with an orifice receiving the part of it fitted with the nozzle, shape, on the side opposite the articulation edge relative to the orifice, said fixing means and comprises at least the second support of the tank.
- the branch of the part single forming one of the tank supports is bent towards the same side as the hinge edge and is pierced by at least a second orifice which forms a second support for the tank immobilized thus in the concave part of said branch, the convex part thereof forming the dispenser fixing means.
- the shape of the dispenser in addition to its aesthetic pleasant to the eye, allows to leave a part of the tank visible to the user who can thus control the type of product contained in said tank, if all indications to this effect are affixed to this visible part.
- the installation of the tank in the following single room the invention is also very easy, requiring no disassembly of parts to open the dispenser and fix the tank inside this, if not, depending on the case, a temporary deformation of the upper end of the single piece to allow passage of the tank.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of an exemplary embodiment dispenser according to the invention.
- Figure 2 is a partial sectional view along the axis longitudinal of the distributor of figure 1.
- Figure 3 is another perspective view of another mode of realization of the dispenser according to the invention.
- Figure 4 is a sectional view of the dispenser of Figure 3 like that of figure 2 compared to the distributor of figure 1.
- At least all of the means supports 4,10, the fixing means 3 and the tongue 2 is produced in a single part 1, comprising at least one part consisting of a strip of the same material forming a V: one of the branches thereof constitutes said tongue 2 and the other at least the support 10, qualified lower in the case of a vertical position of the tank 5, and the base joint or ridge 7 connecting the two branches ensures and achieves the tongue joint 2.
- a person skilled in the art from these conditions of use and is able to choose and define a material with the desired thickness such as for metals, a stainless steel sheet thin, or for plastics, impact polystyrene or polypropylene.
- the branch of the V-shape of the single piece 1 and constituting said support 10 of the reservoir 5, is pierced with an orifice 11 receiving the part of it fitted with nozzle 6; this hole 11 has exactly the dimensions of the external shape of the part of the reservoir 5 therein therefore immobilized; this branch 10 forms, on the side opposite the base common of the branches of the V that is to say at the edge 7 with respect to the orifice 11, said fixing means 3 and comprises at least the second support 4 of reservoir 5; this second support can be constituted as described below and shown by way of example on the two different embodiments of the attached figures.
- the free end 2 1 of the branch of the single piece 1 forming said tongue 2 is bent on the same side as the base of the V or edge 7 towards the 'axis ZZ' of the dispenser which is also that of the cylindrical shape of revolution of the reservoir 5, to form a concave surface into which opens said nozzle 6 and thus delimiting the zone in which the user positions his fingers, alone or carrying the support that he wants to moisten;
- the curved shape of said tongue is shown curvilinear but could also be a polyhedral surface.
- the other branch 10 of the basic V shape of the single piece 1 and forming one of the supports called tank 5, is also curved on the same side as the base of the V or edge 7 towards the axis ZZ 'of the distributor and is pierced by at least a second orifice 12 for form a second support 4 of the reservoir 5; this orifice 12 has dimensions compatible with those outside of the tank 5 which is there slipped: this one is thus guided and immobilized in the concave part of said curved branch 10, the part facing outwards, that is to say convex, forming a fixing means 3 of the dispenser.
- the form curved from said branch 10 and also from that of the assembly of the distributor is shown curvilinear but could also be a polyhedral surface or a combination of the two types of shape, that is to say a succession of planar surfaces separated by more or less rounded edges, and on the other hand curved surfaces.
- the edge 7, forming the articulation of the tongue branch 2 with the support branch 10, is preferably rounded for better long-term guarantee since this part is the most requested from the dispenser and an edge that is too angular could risk break by fatigue after several hundred uses.
- the fixing means 3 which is thus a part of said part unique 1 thus presents a surface oriented towards the outside of the distributor: it can be flat or curved, and pierced with holes 16 allowing direct and / or final fixing by screws or others means such as in a wall 15; this fixing means 3 can also have male or female grooves, not shown on the attached figures, able to cooperate with complementary forms of a separate support which can itself be fixed and independent: such mounting makes it possible to make the dispenser removable from said support.
- said fixing means 3 can be secured to a base for positioning said dispenser directly on a table, cart, etc., either in position vertical, either in an inclined position: this can be used interesting for distributing alcohol for example in in order to clean instruments or moisten a cotton pad example without the staff necessarily having both hands available for that.
- the end 4 2 of said branch constituting the two supports 4,10 of the reservoir 5 and again bent but towards the side corresponding to that of the fixing 3, either in the same direction than that of the basic V-shape; this end 4 2 comprises on the same side as the edge 7 relative to the axis ZZ 'a stop 13, either internal, or constituted as shown in the attached figure by an orifice in the form of a portion of a disc, if the reservoir 5 is cylindrical of revolution; this upper stop 13 makes it possible to immobilize part of the edge 14 of the bottom of the tank 5 which it then prevents from lifting when the nozzle 6 is stressed.
- the concave part of the branch in which is immobilized the tank 5 is open and therefore allows the user to be able to read all registrations 17 appearing on the part of the tank which is slid there and thus visible.
- said branch constituting at least said support 10 of the tank 5 comprises a hollow part 4 1, forming said concave part and having a compatible internal shape and enclosing that outside of the tank 5; disposed around at least part of the orifice 11, said hollow part 4 2 constitutes another support for the tank 5, which can trap and be in contact with a part of the external surface of the tank.
- Such an embodiment in thermoformed or injected plastic then sufficiently maintains the reservoir 5 so as not to require the last curvature 4 2 of the branch 4 with its upper stop orifice 13 such as in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 or 2: in this case the single piece 1 according to the invention can not be made in a single strip of folded material for example as in Figure 1 or 2, even if it can be manufactured in a single operation, by molding plastic for example.
- the concave part of the branch 10 supporting the reservoir 5 is therefore closed and the inscription 17 making it possible to inform the user must be located towards the bottom 14 of the reservoir 5 in order to be visible above the single part 1.
