Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fluid dispenser comprising a reservoir in the form of a hollow body containing a follower piston, and a mounted pump on the hollow body to extract fluid.
  • a fluid dispenser comprising a reservoir in the form of a hollow body containing a follower piston, and a mounted pump on the hollow body to extract fluid.
  • This is a distributor without take-back of air since the volume of product extracted by the pump is not replaced by air but on the contrary the follower piston slides inside the hollow body as the product fluid is extracted from it.
  • This type of dispenser is frequently used in the field of cosmetics and perfumery to distribute liquid to pasty products.
  • the present invention relates more particularly to the mounting of such a distributor of fluid product by seeking to make a distributor whose assembly is particularly simple. Indeed, the manufacturer of such distributors is only very rarely the dispenser filler. In general, the distributor in the disassembled state is delivered to the person responsible for packaging the product in the dispenser. In order to reduce minimum the tools necessary for filling and mounting such dispensers, it is particularly advantageous especially for the product conditioner to have a distributor whose assembly is particularly simple, which not only reduces the necessary tools but also the assembly time. This of course leads to reduction in the cost price of the packaged fluid product.
  • the object of the present invention is to solve the abovementioned problems of the art by defining a distributor which can be pre-assembled in the form of two sub-assemblies that the product conditioner only has to assemble to complete the assembly of the distributor.
  • the person responsible for packaging the product in the distributor only has to fill the hollow body with product and complete the assembly of the distributor in a single step requiring only primary tools.
  • the distributor is then in its finished state ready for sale.
  • the present invention relates to a dispenser comprising a body hollow in which a follower piston, a pump and a fixed holding element are mounted said body, said retaining member defining an opening so located adjacent to the open end of the body, said holding member comprising a cover outer and an annular sleeve defining said opening, said outer cover and said annular sleeve being connected by their upper ends, said outer cover and said annular sleeve being arranged substantially concentrically, said cover exterior having a lower part defining a shoulder receiving the end bottom of a protective cap, said holding element defining a flange extending radially inward, said pump defining a flange extending radially outward and at least one rib extending radially outward the exterior, located above said pump flange to define a housing between said pump flange and said pump rib for receiving said flange from the pump element holding, and at least one of said pump and said holding element being made of resiliently to allow relative movement of said pump rib
  • the holding element fulfills a triple function, namely that of holding of the pump, that of attachment to the neck of the hollow body, and that of reception for a protective cap.
  • Holding element, pump and protective cap thus constitute a mounted sub-assembly which the product conditioner need only snap onto the hollow body once filled to finish mounting the dispenser.
  • the necessary tool consists only of a press suitable for applying a force of pushing on the protective cap.
  • the distributor is therefore delivered to the conditioner by having in the form of two sub-assemblies, one consisting of the holding element, the pump and the cap, and the other by the hollow body.
  • the holding For fixing the holding element to the neck of the hollow body, the holding defines a cord extending radially inward, said body defining a groove open radially inwards to receive said bead, at least one among said body and said holding member being made resiliently for allow relative movement of said cord in said groove to engage snapped.
  • the outer cover includes a projection which extends over at least part of the periphery of the cover near the shoulder to cooperate by snap-fastening with a recess internal device formed in the protective cap.
  • the present invention also relates to a mounting method according to the claim 10.
  • the fluid dispenser according to the invention is generally designated by the reference 10 in FIG. 1.
  • the distributor 10 is suitable for distributing a fluid product, typically a liquid, cream, paste or the like.
  • the distributor 10 essentially comprises three component parts, namely a hollow body 24, a pump 14 and a holding element 130.
  • the internal structure of the pump 14 is not critical to the present invention and does not will therefore not be described.
  • the pump however includes a body 141 at the end from which emerges an actuating rod 148 which can be moved axially in the body 141 by pressing on its end.
  • the pump 14 also includes a pusher 16 suitable for covering the upper end of the actuating rod 148 and communicating with the outside via an outlet 18.
  • the actuation of the pump 14 is most conventional, namely by pressing on the pusher 16 to push in the actuating rod 148 and thus deliver a dose of fluid to through it to the level of the outlet orifice 18 of the pusher 16.
  • its body 141 is formed with a radial flange 140 which extends outwards.
  • the body 141 is also provided with at least one rib 142 which extends also radially outward.
  • the or preferably the ribs distributed over the periphery of the body 141, are arranged just above the flange 140 so as to define a housing 144 which is used for fixing the pump in the holding element as is will see below.
  • the hollow body 24 is preferably in the form of a section tube transverse round for reasons of simplicity, given that the follower piston 29 must slide inside tightly.
  • the hollow body 24 is closed at its end lower by a bottom 26 made with openings 28 to leave the follower piston at the atmospheric pressure.
  • the hollow body 24 defines a neck 32 of reduced diameter.
  • the upper end of the neck defines an outer peripheral shoulder 34.
  • the external wall of the neck defines an annular groove open towards the outside 36.
  • the distal end of the neck 36 defines an annular rim 35 which projects upwards at the level of the lower diameter of the shoulder 34.
  • two recesses 37 in the shoulder 34 constitute the injection points.
  • the neck 32 has a slot or vertical outside notch 38 and a vertical inside rib 40.
  • the slot or notch external 38 can be used to position the hollow body 24, in an orientation desired to rotate relative to the vertical longitudinal axis during the process printing during which a text and / or a drawing is applied to the body 24 by appropriate conventional means.
  • the second sub-assembly or upper sub-assembly comprises the pump 14 described above as well as the holding element 130, and optionally a protective cover 20 which covers the pump and the holding element.
  • the holding element 130 comprises a convex peripheral cover 160 provided with a pleasant external appearance.
  • the lower end of the cover 160 is defined by a flange or shoulder 162 which projects radially outwards.
  • Each of the projections 166 is adapted to establish a snap in a recess or a internal peripheral groove 168 provided at the lower end of the protective cap 20 as can be seen in FIG. 3.
  • the cap 20 and / or the lower part of the cover 160 are made resiliently so as to allow relative movement between the cap 20 and the cap 160 when the cap 20 is installed on the dispenser.
  • the cap 20 and / or the cap 160 are deformed enough so that the recess 21 of the cap 20 can be received on the projections 166 of cover 160 for making a snap connection.
  • the cover 160 which here has an aesthetic ogival shape is connected by its end greater than an annular sleeve 190 (fig. 2 and 3).
  • the sleeve 190 defines a bore, passage or opening 192 intended to receive the annular neck 32 of the body 24 and the part of the pump 14 which projects upwards (fig. 3).
  • a flange 196 extends radially inward from the annular sleeve 190 to engage the upper surface of the pump flange 140 (fig. 3).
  • the sleeve 190 also includes a cord 202 which extends inward to be received in the annular groove 36 defined in the neck 32 of the body 24. The pump is thus held in the sleeve 190 of the holding member 130 by engagement of the flange of the sleeve in the housing 144 of the pump defined between the external flange 140 and the ribs 142.
  • the ribs 142 are formed with an upper cam surface 146 on which it stops bottom of the internal flange 196 can slide to engage in the housing 144.
  • opposite axial forces are applied to the holding member 130 and to the pump 14, and there is a deformation temporary of one or both elements in the radial direction so that the ribs 142 can pass beyond the flange 196.
  • a relative displacement is therefore made to position the ribs 142 on the upper side of the flange 196 so that the lower side of the flange 196 is in contact with the upper surface of the flange 140 of the pump.
  • Either the holding element 130, or the pump 14 or both, are made of resiliently, less in the region of the flange 196 and / or the ribs 142 so to allow the passage of the ribs beyond the flange 196 so as to achieve a snap.
  • the button pusher 16 can be installed on the actuating rod 148 as well as the cap protection 20 by snap-fastening on the cover 160 of the retaining element 130. If a seal 132 is used, it can be engaged on the body 141 of the pump 14 where it maintains itself by friction.
  • the assembly constituted by the holding element 130, the pump 14 with its pusher 16, and optionally the protective cap 20 and the seal 132 form a second sub-assembly or upper sub-assembly intended to be mounted on the lower sub-assembly consisting of the hollow body 14 and the follower piston 29.
  • the sleeve 190 internally forms a peripheral cord 20 adapted to snap into place in the groove 36 formed in the neck 32 of the hollow body 24.
  • either the element of holding, either the hollow body 24 or both are made resiliently at least in the region of the cord 202 and / or of the groove 36 of the neck 32. A snap can be thus be realized.
  • the two sub-assemblies thus produced can be simply assembled in snapping on the upper sub-assembly the lower sub-assembly so as to engage the cord 202 in the groove 36 of the neck 32.
  • the assembly operations of the two sub-assemblies can be carried out at the manufacturing component parts of the distributor while assembling the two sub-assemblies is carried out at the conditioner after filling the hollow body 24.
  • the conditioner only needs one machine to exercise pressure on the holding element 130 or on the protective cap if there is one.
