Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de distribution de produit fluide destiné à être monté dans un col de réservoir, dont la paroi interne peut selon les cas être de forme conique évasée vers le haut. Plus particulièrement, la présente invention concerne une bague de fixation permettant de recevoir un corps d'organe de distribution tel qu'une pompe, la bague comportant en outre une jupe d'emmanchage de forme correspondante à celle de la paroi du col de manière à s'adapter dans le col du réservoir.The present invention relates to a device for distribution of fluid product to be mounted in a tank neck, the inner wall of which, according to the case be of conical shape flared up. More particularly, the present invention relates to a ring for receiving an organ body of distribution such as a pump, the ring comprising in addition to a form-fitting skirt corresponding to that of the neck wall so as to fit into the tank neck.

On connait par exemple du document DE-85608 un dispositif de distribution dans lequel une pompe est montée dans un bouchon à paroi externe conique. Ce bouchon à paroi externe conique est revêtu avec une enveloppe de caoutchouc. Le col du réservoir sur lequel le bouchon doit être adapté présente également un col à paroi interne conique en correspondance avec le bouchon. L'enveloppe en caoutchouc du bouchon a pour but d'améliorer la fixation et l'étanchéité du bouchon dans le col conique. Cependant, du fait que le contact d'étanchéité a lieu sur la totalité de la surface tronconique du bouchon, on a dû mal à enfoncer le bouchon dans le col conique. En effet, étant donné que la force de pression que l'on exerce sur le bouchon est repartie uniformément sur la totalité de la surface tronconique de contact, il s'ensuit que le bouchon n'est nulle part en contact de pression forte avec le col conique du réservoir. Un inconvénient majeur résulte de ce fait en ce que le bouchon ne tient pas très bien dans le col et peut s'en dégager. Par conséquent l'utilisation d'une enveloppe en caoutchouc ne permet pas une bonne fixation et une parfaite étanchéité.For example, document DE-85608 is known dispensing device in which a pump is mounted in a plug with a conical outer wall. This cap with a conical outer wall is coated with rubber. The neck of the tank on which the cap must be adapted also has a neck with an inner wall conical in correspondence with the plug. The envelope plug rubber is intended to improve fixation and sealing the plug in the conical neck. However, because the sealing contact takes place on the whole of the frustoconical surface of the cork, it was difficult to push the plug into the conical neck. Indeed, being given that the pressure force that one exerts on the plug is spread evenly over the entire frustoconical surface of contact, it follows that the cap is nowhere in strong pressure contact with the cervix tapered tank. A major drawback results from this made in that the plug does not fit very well in the collar and can disengage. Therefore the use of a rubber casing does not allow a good fixing and perfect sealing.

Un autre document US-3 937 366 divulgue un distributeur comprenant un réservoir à col parfaitement cylindrique dans lequel est engagée une bague de fixation recevant une pompe. Pour se faire, la bague de fixation présente une jupe d'emmanchage à paroi extérieure cylindrique. Pour améliorer la fixation de la bague dans le col du réservoir, il est prévu sur la jupe d'emmanchage une nervure annulaire périphérique et sur la paroi interne du col du réservoir une rainure annulaire périphérique. Une fois la bague de fixation montée dans le col du réservoir, le cordon annulaire périphérique vient s'engager dans la rainure annulaire périphérique. Les formes du cordon périphérique et' de la rainure périphérique sont. parfaitement complémentaires de sorte qu'aucune pression n'est exercée sur le cordon à l'intérieur de la rainure. Par conséquent, cet arrangement de cordon et de rainure ne contribue pas à améliorer l'étanchéité entre la bague de fixation et le col du réservoir, mais simplement à assurer une bonne fixation.Another document US-3,937,366 discloses a dispenser comprising a perfectly necked tank cylindrical in which is engaged a fixing ring receiving a pump. To do this, the fixing ring has an outer wall slip-on skirt cylindrical. To improve the fixing of the ring in the neck of the tank, it is provided on the skirt of emmanchage a peripheral annular rib and on the inner wall the neck of the reservoir a peripheral annular groove. Once the fixing ring is mounted in the neck of the reservoir, the peripheral annular cord engage in the peripheral annular groove. The shapes of the peripheral cord and the groove device are. perfectly complementary so no pressure is exerted on the cord at inside the groove. Therefore, this arrangement cord and groove does not help to improve the seal between the fixing ring and the collar of the tank, but simply to ensure a good fixation.

La présente invention a pour but de remédier aux inconvénients de l'art antérieur précités en définissant un dispositif de distribution dont la bague de fixation permet un emmanchage parfaitement étanche et une fixation sure.The present invention aims to remedy disadvantages of the above-mentioned prior art by defining a dispensing device including the fixing ring allows a perfectly waterproof plug and fastening safe.

Pour ce faire, la présente invention propose un dispositif de distribution de produit fluide conforme à la revendication principale. Des modes de réalisation avantageux sont exposés dans les revendications dépendantes. For this purpose, the present invention proposes a fluid dispenser device according to the main claim. Embodiments advantages are set forth in the claims dependent.

Ainsi, l'emmanchage est parfaitement étanche et solide étant donné que toute la force exercée pour l'emmanchage de la bague ne résulte qu'en un contact annulaire très fort dû à l'écrasement du cordon contre la paroi interne du col. Contrairement au document allemand précité, le contact d'étanchéité ne se fait que sur un cercle et non sur une surface tronconique ce qui augmente la force de contact contre la paroi interne du col. En outre, contrairement au document américain précité, un contact parfaitement étanche est créé du fait que le cordon ne peut pas venir s'encliqueter dans une rainure de forme correspondance mais au contraire est complètement écrasé contre la paroi interne du col.Thus, the wading is perfectly tight and solid since all the force exerted for the wrapping of the ring does not result in a very strong ring contact due to the crushing of the cord against the inner wall of the neck. Contrary to German document cited above, the sealing contact does not only on a circle and not on a frustoconical surface which increases the contact force against the wall internal collar. In addition, contrary to the document aforementioned, a perfectly tight contact is created because the cord can not snap in a correspondence-shaped groove but on the contrary is completely crushed against the inside wall of the neck.

Selon une caractéristique avantageuse, la paroi externe conique de la jupe est pourvue de deux cordons d'étanchéité périphériques. En effet, le fait de prévoir deux cordons d'étanchéité sur la bague permet d'améliorer encore davantage la stabilité de la bague à l'intérieur du col. Les deux cordons d'étanchéité définissent ensemble deux cercles espacés de sorte que la bague ne peut plus basculer à l'intérieur du col. En outre, l'étanchéité est également améliorée du fait du doublement de la barrière d'étanchéité.According to an advantageous characteristic, the wall outer cone of the skirt is provided with two cords Peripheral sealing. Indeed, the fact of two sealing beads on the ring helps improve even more the stability of the ring inside the collar. The two sealing beads define together two circles spaced so that the ring can no longer tilt inside the collar. In addition, the seal is also improved because of the doubling of the barrier sealing.

Selon une autre caractéristique, la jupe s'étend autour du corps avec un écart radial formant un espace annulaire. Le fait que la paroi interne de la bague n'est pas en contact avec le corps de l'organe de distribution permet à la jupe de se déformer vers l'intérieur lors de l'écrasement du ou des cordons à l'intérieur du col conique du réservoir. According to another characteristic, the skirt extends around the body with a radial gap forming a space annular. The fact that the inner wall of the ring is not in contact with the body of the dispenser allows the skirt to deform inwards when the crushing of the cord or cords inside the collar tapered tank.

Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, la bague de fixation forme une collerette de guidage pour une tête d'actionnement montée sur la tige d'actionnement.According to another aspect of the invention, the ring of fastener forms a guide flange for a head actuator mounted on the actuating rod.

Selon une forme de réalisation, la paroi interne du col et la jupe d'emmanchage de la bague sont de forme conique évasée vers le haut.According to one embodiment, the inner wall of the neck and the skirt of the ring are shaped conical flared up.

L'invention sera maintenant décrite plus amplement en référence aux dessins joints donnant à titre d'exemple non limitatif un mode de réalisation de l'invention.The invention will now be described more fully in reference to the accompanying drawings giving as an example limiting an embodiment of the invention.

Sur les dessins :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en coupe verticale à travers un organe de distribution selon l'invention ;
  • la figure 2 est une vue en coupe transversale de l'organe de distribution de la figure 1 monté sur un col de réservoir selon l'invention.
On the drawings:
  • Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view through a dispensing member according to the invention;
  • Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of the dispensing member of Figure 1 mounted on a tank neck according to the invention.

Comme on peut le voir sur les figures, le dispositif de distribution de produit fluide selon l'invention comporte trois éléments constitutifs essentiels, à savoir un réservoir 4, un organe de distribution 2, et une bague de fixation 1 pour monter l'organe de distribution 2 dans le col du réservoir 4.As can be seen in the figures, the device fluid dispenser according to the invention has three essential building blocks, namely: a reservoir 4, a dispensing member 2, and a ring 1 to mount the dispensing member 2 in the neck of the tank 4.

Le réservoir 4 définit un volume interne dans lequel du produit fluide est stocké et un col 40 à la partie supérieure du réservoir définissant un accès à l'intérieur du réservoir. Dans le cadre de l'invention, le col 40 du réservoir 4 présente une paroi interne 41 de forme cylindrique, comme visible sur les figures. En variante, la paroi interne 41 peut également être de forme conique évasée vers le haut. Avantageusement si le réservoir est en verre, pour obtenir une qualité de surface satisfaisante, cette paroi interne conique 41 peut être rodée.The reservoir 4 defines an internal volume in which Fluid product is stored and a 40 pass to the part upper tank defining access to the interior of the tank. In the context of the invention, the collar 40 of the tank 4 has an inner wall 41 of shape cylindrical, as shown in the figures. In a variant, the inner wall 41 may also be conical flared up. Advantageously if the tank is made of glass, to obtain a surface quality satisfactory, this conical inner wall 41 can be lapped.

L'organe de distribution 2 peut être une pompe par exemple, mais on peut également envisager une valve. Dans l'exemple représenté, il s'agit d'une pompe 2 présentant un corps de pompe 20 dans lequel une tige d'actionnement 21 est mobile. La structure interne de la pompe n'est pas critique pour l'invention et ne sera par conséquent pas décrite. A l'extrémité supérieure de la tige d'actionnement 21, est montée une tête d'actionnement 3 avantageusement pourvue d'un gicleur 35. En appuyant sur la tête d'actionnement 3, la tige d'actionnement 21 est enfoncée dans le corps de pompe 20 ce qui entraíne un refoulement de produit fluide hors du corps de pompe à travers la tige d'actionnement et enfin à travers le gicleur 35. Un tel fonctionnement de pompe est tout à fait classique.The dispensing member 2 may be a pump for example, but one can also consider a valve. In the example shown, it is a pump 2 having a pump body 20 in which an actuating rod 21 is mobile. The internal structure of the pump is not critical for the invention and therefore will not be described. At the upper end of the stem 21, is mounted an actuating head 3 advantageously provided with a nozzle 35. By pressing the actuating head 3, the actuating rod 21 is pressed into the pump body 20 which causes a delivery of fluid product out of the pump body to through the actuating rod and finally through the nozzle 35. Such a pump operation is quite classic.

Pour la fixation de l'organe de distribution 2 sur le col 40 du réservoir 4, il est prévu selon l'invention une bague de fixation 1 qui comprend d'une part un logement de réception 12 pour recevoir le corps de pompe 20, avantageusement par encliquetage, et d'autre part une jupe d'emmanchage 10 qui s'étend à partir du logement de réception 12 vers le bas. Cette jupe d'emmanchage 10 présente une paroi externe de forme correspondante à celle de la paroi du col, c'est-à-dire cylindrique sur les dessins, mais peut également être de forme conique, lorsque la paroi du col est conique, avec une taille et une conicité permettant une adaptation dans le col conique du réservoir. La bague de fixation peut donc être emmanchée en force sur le réservoir en engageant la jupe d'emmanchage cylindrique ou conique 10 dans le col cylindrique ou conique 40 du réservoir. Selon l'invention, la paroi externe cylindrique ou conique 15 de la jupe d'emmanchage 10 est pourvue d'au moins un cordon d'étanchéité périphérique 14 adapté à venir s'écraser contre la paroi interne 41 du col de réservoir 40. Dans l'exemple représenté sur les figures, la paroi externe cylindrique 15 est pourvue de deux cordons d'étanchéité périphériques 14. Les deux cordons d'étanchéité périphériques 14 font donc saillie sur la paroi externe 15 de la jupe 10 sous la forme de petits bourrelets. En outre, les deux cordons d'étanchéité périphériques 14 sont distants l'un de l'autre d'une certaine distance, ce qui a des effets avantageux sur la stabilité de la bague comme on pourra le voir ci-après. La bague de fixation 1 forme également une bride annulaire 11 qui s'étend à partir de l'extrémité supérieure de la jupe d'emmanchage 10 vers l'extérieur. Cette bride annulaire 11 se termine par une collerette cylindrique de guidage adaptée au guidage de la tête d'actionnement 3 montée sur la tige d'actionnement 1. Comme on peut le voir sur les figures, la tête d'actionnement 3 est formée avec une jupe 33 qui s'étend vers le bas en entourant la collerette cylindrique 13. Ainsi, lors de l'actionnement de la tête d'actionnement 3, cette dernière est guidée par l'engagement de sa jupe sur la collerette 13. Pour permettre l'enfoncement de la tête d'actionnement 3, la collerette 13 est formée avec un évidement 15 permettant l'engagement du gicleur 35.For fixing the dispensing member 2 on the 40 of the tank 4, it is provided according to the invention a fixing ring 1 which comprises on the one hand a housing of receiving 12 to receive the pump body 20, advantageously by snapping, and secondly a skirt 10 which extends from the housing of reception 12 down. This sling skirt 10 has an outer wall of a shape corresponding to that of the wall of the neck, that is to say cylindrical on the drawings, but can also be conical in shape, when the neck wall is tapered, with a size and taper allowing adaptation in the conical neck of the tank. The fixing ring can therefore be fitted into force on the tank by engaging the skirt cylindrical or conical plugging 10 in the neck cylindrical or conical 40 of the tank. According to the invention, the cylindrical or conical outer wall 15 of the skirt 10 is provided with at least one cord sealing device 14 adapted to come crashing against the inner wall 41 of the tank neck 40. In the example shown in the figures, the outer wall cylindrical 15 is provided with two sealing beads 14. The two sealing beads peripherals 14 thus protrude on the outer wall 15 of the skirt 10 in the form of small beads. In in addition, the two peripheral sealing beads 14 are distant from each other by a certain distance, which has advantageous effects on the stability of the ring as we can see it below. The fixing ring 1 form also an annular flange 11 which extends from the upper end of the sling skirt 10 to outside. This annular flange 11 ends with a cylindrical guiding collar adapted to guiding the actuating head 3 mounted on the actuating rod 1. As can be seen in the figures, the head 3 is formed with a skirt 33 which extends downwards surrounding the cylindrical collar 13. Thus, when actuating the actuating head 3, the latter is guided by the commitment of her skirt on the collar 13. To allow the depression of the head actuator 3, the flange 13 is formed with a recess 15 allowing the engagement of the nozzle 35.

On se référera maintenant plus précisément à la figure 2 qui représente un organe de distribution monté dans un col cylindrique 40 à l'aide d'une bague de fixation 1 selon l'invention. Comme on peut le voir sur cette figure, la paroi externe 15 de la jupe 10 s'adapte parfaitement en contact avec la paroi interne 41 du col 40. En réalité, il peut exister entre ces deux parois un très faible écart imperceptible à l'oeil nu, mais qui ne nuit ni à la fixation ni à l'étanchéité du dispositif. En effet, du fait de la présence des deux cordons d'étanchéité périphériques 14, on a une fixation et une étanchéité parfaite de la bague de fixation dans le col 40 du réservoir. En position emmanchée, telle que représentée sur la figure 2, les deux cordons d'étanchéité périphériques 14 sont fortement écrasés contre la paroi interne 41 du col 40. L'écrasement de ces cordons 14 exercent une forte pression annulaire sur la paroi interne 41 du col 40. Les cordons d'étanchéité 14 sont presque complètement écrasés de telle sorte qu'ils ne font pratiquement plus saillie sur la paroi externe 15 de la jupe 10. On obtient ainsi une étanchéité parfaite et sure. De plus, étant donné qu'il y a deux cordons d'étanchéité 14, il est ainsi défini une double barrière d'étanchéité. Quant à la fixation, le fait de la présence de deux cordons d'étanchéité améliore d'autant plus la fixation en ce que les deux cordons d'étanchéité définissent ensemble un cylindre parfaitement stable. De plus, comme mentionné ci-dessus, l'espacement des deux cordons contribue encore davantage à la stabilité en définissant une section cylindrique ou tronc conique plus importante. Bien qu'il soit envisageable dans le cadre de l'invention de ne prévoir qu'un seul cordon d'étanchéité, il est préférable de prévoir deux cordons d'étanchéité pour les raisons de stabilité et d'étanchéité susmentionnées. Il est également à noter que la jupe d'emmanchage 10 n'est pas en contact avec sa paroi interne du corps 20 de la pompe 2. Cela permet une déformation de la jupe 10 vers l'intérieur, référencée par 140 sur la figure 2, lors de l'écrasement vers l'intérieur des cordons d'étanchéité 14. On évite ainsi une déformation du corps de pompe 20 qui pourrait nuire à son fonctionnement.We will now refer more specifically to the figure 2 which represents a distribution member mounted in a cylindrical neck 40 using a fixing ring 1 according to the invention. As can be seen in this figure, the outer wall 15 of the skirt 10 fits perfectly in contact with the inner wall 41 of the neck 40. In reality, he can exist between these two walls a very small gap imperceptible to the naked eye, but which does not harm the fixing or sealing of the device. Indeed, made of the presence of the two sealing beads peripherals 14, we have a fixation and a tightness perfect of the fixing ring in the neck 40 of the tank. In the fitted position, as shown in FIG. 2, the two sealing beads 14 devices are strongly crushed against the wall 41 of the collar 40. The crushing of these cords 14 exert a strong annular pressure on the inner wall 41 of the collar 40. The sealing beads 14 are almost completely crushed so that they do not make practically more protruding on the outer wall 15 of the skirt 10. This provides a perfect and secure seal. In addition, since there are two sealing beads 14, it is thus defined a double sealing barrier. As for fixation, the fact of the presence of two sealing cords improves all the more the fixation in what the two sealing beads define together a perfectly stable cylinder. In addition, as mentioned above, the spacing of the two cords still contributes more to stability by defining a section cylindrical or conical trunk more important. Even though he can be envisaged in the context of the invention of provide only one sealing bead, it is better to provide two sealing beads for the reasons of stability and sealing mentioned above. he is also note that the skirt 10 is not in contact with its inner wall of the body 20 of the pump 2. This allows deformation of the skirt 10 inwards, referenced 140 in FIG. 2, during the crash to the inside of the sealing beads. thus a deformation of the pump body 20 which could impair its operation.

De préférence, le réservoir 4 pourra être réalisé en verre bien que d'autres matériaux ne sont pas exclus, et la bague de fixation 1 pourra être réalisée en matière plastique bien que d'autres matériaux ne sont également pas exclus. Avec un réservoir en verre et une bague en plastique, on assure un parfait écrasement du ou des cordons d'étanchéité contre la paroi interne 41 du col de verre 40. Une étanchéité améliorée est obtenue selon l'invention par l'écrasement du ou des cordons d'étanchéité, et une fixation améliorée est obtenue par le doublement des cordons.Preferably, the tank 4 can be made of glass although other materials are not excluded, and the fixing ring 1 can be made of material plastic although other materials are also not excluded. With a glass tank and a ring plastic, it ensures a perfect crash of the sealing beads against the inner wall 41 of the neck of 40. An improved seal is obtained according to the invention by crushing the cord or cords sealing, and an improved fixation is achieved by the doubling cords.
