Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a head for dispensing a product of viscous consistency according to the preamble of claim 1, in particular in the form of a paste, a gel, a cream, a milk, such as can be used in particular in the field of cosmetic or pharmacy.
  • the invention also relates to a set of packaging and distribution equipped with such a head.
  • the invention is everything particularly suitable for devices requiring air intake, and whose contents must be protected from microbes or bacteria contained in the ambient air.
  • a head according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from WO-A-92 12065. Also, is it one of the objects of the invention to produce a dispensing head a product to be stored under relatively sterile conditions, and solving all or part of the problems discussed with reference to the devices conventional.
  • a head for the distribution of a viscous product contained inside a container said head being of the at least one outlet orifice selectively closed by a shutter member under form of an elastically deformable element capable of spreading under the pressure of the product to clear said orifice (s) and allow the product to pass through of its distribution, and to return by elastic return, in closing contact with a seat formed by said dispensing head, when the pressure ceases, a portion made of a porous material, impermeable to the product, being provided with so as to allow a return of filtered air inside said container, through of said porous material, said portion being at least partially accessible directly from the outside of the dispensing head, said orifice (s) outlet being distinct from the pores or cells forming the porous portion.
  • At least part of said portion is in communication direct to the outside.
  • Such a structure is distinguished from the devices in which, in particular, the filter element is arranged at inside the distribution head, and is in communication with the outside via a or several orifices, generally small.
  • the product flows through the outlet orifices, made between the seat and a free end or a free edge of the membrane.
  • the product does not flow therefore not through the pores of the porous portion, which can act fully their return air function when the membrane resiliently deformable returns to the closed position.
  • the product comes out by one or more orifices formed between the seat and the membrane when the latter is discarded, while the air intake is ensured by means of separate orifices of the outlet, in this case by the pores or cells of said portion porous. Both functions can be fully performed effective.
  • the pore size does not increase during distribution.
  • the open cells can even compress under product pressure, depending on the position of the foam block in relation to the product flow.
  • the realization of the dispensing head is thus simplified by allowing dispense with orifices or auxiliary passages suitable for defining a circuit of air intake separate from the product distribution circuit, which orifices or passages are often subject to contamination.
  • the product is perfectly isolated from ambient air, and microbes or bacteria from ambient air.
  • the design of the return air distribution head can be identical in shape to that of a distribution head without air intake. She requires only for said portion, a material different from those used traditionally for systems without return air. The additional cost is negligible.
  • such a porous element at least part of which is directly accessible from the outside of the container can be easily cleaned, simply by passing it under hot water, which was more difficult to achieve for conventional devices where the part filter was located behind an orifice formed in a wall of the dispensing head.
  • the area carrying out the air filtration and the air intake is much larger than when the air intake is carried out via one or more orifices.
  • the exchange surface with the outside can range from a few mm 2 to a few cm 2 .
  • the porous material can be soaked with an antimicrobial product, so as to further improve the protection of the product contained in the container.
  • the porous material has a porosity between 1 ⁇ m and 500 ⁇ m, and preferably between 10 ⁇ m and 200 ⁇ m.
  • the porosity of the material is chosen, depending in particular on the viscosity and the nature of the product conditioning.
  • said portion consists of all or part of the organ shutter or seat, so as to allow an air intake substantially in the vicinity of the product outlet orifices.
  • the routing of the product from the container to the outlet is done by the same circuit as that of the air towards the container, the air inlet orifices being different from the or product outlet ports.
  • the air inlet ports being located at near the product outlet port (s), all the product contained in the container, including the residual product in the product outlet circuit, in upstream of the obturation member is kept under relatively conditions sterile.
  • the air intake located adjacent to the orifice of outlet allows better, especially faster, closure of the organ shutter.
  • hood or cap this can be of size reduced compared to those used in conventional devices, in the measure, where only the area surrounding the outlet needs to be covered.
  • the dispensing head is surmounted by a cover removable, to improve product protection in the storage position.
