Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for bicomponent type fluid distribution, i.e. allowing to distribute two different products.
  • different products is meant either products having a different composition, i.e. concentrations different from the same product.
  • the object of the present invention is to avoid aforementioned drawbacks.
  • Document DE-U-94 03 512 is known a product distribution system fluids for dispensing two different products in the same distributor.
  • the present invention also aims to provide a such a distributor of fluid products making it possible, with different means, to obtain the most effective treatment possible at the lowest cost weak possible.
  • the present invention also aims to provide a such a fluid dispensing device which avoids the risk of confusion between the two products to distribute, thereby improving security for the user.
  • the present invention therefore relates to a device for dispensing fluid products, comprising a member distribution, such as a pump, mounted on a container, and an actuator, such as a pusher, for distribute product, the device comprising two product tanks arranged so that they are emptied successively, the product contained in the second tank only distributed when the first tank is empty, the first tank being attached to the body of the dispensing member or to a support part of said body, and extends to the bottom of the container at less partially inside the second tank.
  • a member distribution such as a pump
  • an actuator such as a pusher
  • the first tank is connected to the distribution member and the second reservoir is connected said first tank through an element shutter which prevents the passage of the contained product in the second tank to the dispenser as long as the first tank contains product and which frees said passage when said first tank is empty, so that subsequent actuations of the device distribute the product contained in the second tank.
  • the first tank is connected by a side to the dispenser and has on the other side a connecting channel with the second tank, said first reservoir comprising a follower piston moving tightly in said first tank on each actuation of the device to compensate for the volume of product dispensed during each actuation, the displacement of said follower piston simultaneously sucking of the product from the second tank in the part upstream of the first reservoir located behind said piston follower in the direction of flow of the product, and said follower piston, when it reaches its end position in which the first tank is empty, cooperates with passage means for creating a passage between said upstream part of the first reservoir and the distribution, thereby distributing the product sucked into said upstream part of the first tank and / or remaining in the second tank.
  • said passage means are made in the form of one or more grooves formed at the downstream end of the side wall of the first tank.
  • said first tank is produced of a part with the body of the dispensing member or with the support piece of said body.
  • the dispenser includes a distribution member such as a pump 1 mounted on a container 2 by means, for example, of a fixing such as a ring 4 which can be snapped on, crimped or fixed by any other means on the neck of the container 2.
  • said pump can include a pusher 3 provided with an orifice dispensing 5 to dispense a dose of product.
  • the pump also includes a nozzle 7 disposed near said distribution orifice 5 for spray the product, and a protective cap 6 can be provided to protect port 5 after use of the device.
  • the device comprises two product tanks 10 and 20 placed in the container 2, each of the tanks 10 and 20 comprising a product different either by its composition or by its concentration.
  • these two product reservoirs 10 and 20 are arranged so that they are emptied successively, that is to say that the product contained in the second tank 20 is only distributed when the first tank 10 is completely empty.
  • a end of the first tank 10 is advantageously connected to pump 1, for example via a inlet valve, and said second tank 20 is connected at the other end of the first tank 10.
  • the connection between the second tank 20 and the first tank 10 is produced by means of a sealing element 30 which prevents the passage of the product contained in the second reservoir 20 towards the pump 1, of so that when the device is activated, it is the product contained in the reservoir 10 which is distributed, the product contained in the second tank 20 being confined behind said closure element 30.
  • This element shutter 30 is intended to clear the passage between the second tank 20 and pump 1 when the first tank 10 is completely empty, so that subsequent actuations of the device then distribute the product contained in the second tank 20.
  • the pump 1 operates without air intake and the shutter element 30 acts as a follower piston in the first reservoir 10, so that each time the dispenser is actuated, a dose of product contained in the first reservoir 10 is dispensed and the volume of this dispensed dose is compensated by a displacement of said follower piston 30 to inside the first tank 10.
  • the second tank 20 - being connected to the first tank 10 on the other side of said follower piston 30 when the latter moves in the first tank 10, the product contained in the second reservoir 20 is sucked upstream of said follower piston 30, in the first tank 10.
  • the follower piston 30 reaches its end position where it cooperates with the means of passage 35 allowing the product upstream of said piston follower 30 to be distributed to pump 1, so that subsequent actuations of the device distributes the product initially contained in the second reservoir 20.
  • the first tank 10 is connected directly on one side to the dispensing member 1, i.e. at the pump, and has on the other side a channel of link 15 which extends to near the bottom of the container 2, where it is connected to the second tank 20 which is formed directly in container 2.
  • the first tank 10 is made in one piece with the pump body and / or with a support part 9 of the pump body, such as shown in Figures 1 to 3.
  • This support piece 9 receives the pump body inside and rests on the neck of the container, but it is also possible to remove this support piece 9 and dispose directly the pump body on the container neck.
  • the seal between the pump body and the support part 9 is produced by radial tightening while in the embodiment shown in Figure 3, the seal between the part support 9 and the pump body is produced by means of a advantageously O-ring 8.
  • the first tank 10 is fixed to the support piece 9, for example by radial clamping of the side wall 11 in a lower end of said support piece 9.
  • the seal between the pump body and the part support 9 is also produced by means of a seal 8.
  • the follower piston 30 reaches its end position where it cooperates with the passage means 35 and the product which has been sucked in upstream of said follower piston 30 from said second tank 20 can be dispensed during actuations from the distributor.
  • the first reservoir 10 and the connecting channel 15 act like a dip tube intended to completely empty the product contained in container 2, i.e. in the second tank 20.
