Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de distribution de produit fluide, et plus particulièrement un tel dispositif fonctionnant avec une pompe sans reprise d'air.The present invention relates to a device for distribution of fluid, and more particularly a such device operating with a pump without recovery air.

Il est bien connu, notamment dans le domaine de la pharmacie, de la cosmétique, ou de la parfumerie, de réaliser des dispositifs de distribution de produit fluide comportant un réservoir contenant le produit, en général un liquide, une pompe, ladite pompe étant fixée sur ledit réservoir au moyen d'une tourette et/ou d'une bague de fixation. Généralement, pour éviter une contamination du produit contenu à l'intérieur du réservoir, la pompe fonctionne sans reprise d'air, mais dans ce cas il se pose le problème de la dépression créée à l'intérieur du réservoir.It is well known, especially in the field of pharmacy, cosmetics, or perfumery, produce fluid dispensing devices comprising a reservoir containing the product, generally a liquid, a pump, said pump being fixed on said tank by means of a spinner and / or a ring fixation. Generally, to avoid contamination of the product inside the tank, the pump works without air intake, but in this case it arises the problem of depression created inside the tank.

Pour résoudre ce problème, il a notamment été proposé de ménager une mise à l'air libre entre le réservoir et l'extérieur du dispositif, avec interposition d'un filtre pour filtrer les éventuels agents contaminants, notamment les bactéries. Des dispositifs de ce type sont décrits notamment dans les documents EP-0 189 549 et EP-0 800 869. L'inconvénient principal de ce type de dispositif est qu'il implique la fabrication et la mise en place du filtre entre ledit réservoir et la mise à l'air libre, ce qui complique considérablement la fabrication et le montage du dispositif, avec un effet négatif sur le coût final. De plus, ce type de système n'est pas toujours facilement adaptable aux pompes standards habituellement utilisées.To solve this problem, it has notably been proposed to provide an air vent between the tank and the outside of the device, with the interposition of a filter to filter out possible contaminants, in particular bacteria. Devices of this type are described in particular in documents EP-0 189 549 and EP-0 800 869. The main disadvantage of this type of device is that it involves the manufacture and installation of the filter between said tank and venting, which complicates considerably the manufacture and the assembly of the device, with a negative effect on the final cost. In addition, this type of system is not always easily adaptable to pumps commonly used standards.

Les documents US-5 752 629, US-5 431 310 et WO 98/48943 divulguent aussi des éléments de filtres assemblés au niveau des trous d'évent.Documents US-5,752,629, US-5,431,310 and WO 98/48943 also disclose filter elements assembled at the level vent holes.

Une autre solution a été proposée dans le document EP-0 771 734. Dans ce document, il a été proposé de réaliser tout ou partie du réservoir contenant le produit en un matériau perméable à l'air. L'inconvénient principal de ce dispositif est qu'il implique la fabrication d'un réservoir spécifique avec des matériaux appropriés, ce qui augmente considérablement le coût dudit réservoir, et surtout ne permet pas l'utilisation de réservoirs de types quelconques ou de matériaux quelconques, notamment ceux qui sont largement utilisés aujourd'hui.Another solution has been proposed in document EP-0 771 734. In this document, it was proposed to carry out all or part of the tank containing the product made of a material breathable. The main drawback of this device is that it involves making a specific tank with suitable materials, which increases considerably the cost of said tank, and above all does not not allow the use of tanks of any type or any materials, especially those that are widely used today.

La présente invention a pour but de fournir un dispositif de distribution de produit fluide qui ne reproduit pas les inconvénients susmentionnés.The object of the present invention is to provide a fluid dispensing device which does not not reproduce the aforementioned drawbacks.

La présente invention a ainsi pour but de fournir un dispositif de distribution de produit fluide fonctionnant avec une pompe sans reprise d'air, dite pompe airless, ledit dispositif permettant d'équilibrer la dépression à l'intérieur du réservoir sans impliquer une contamination du produit restant dans le réservoir et sans complication de la fabrication et de l'assemblage du dispositif et par conséquent de son coût.The object of the present invention is thus to provide a operating fluid dispensing device with a pump without air intake, called airless pump, said device for balancing depression at inside the tank without involving contamination of the product remaining in the tank and without complication of the manufacturing and assembling the device and by therefore of its cost.

La présente invention a aussi pour but de fournir un dispositif de distribution de produit fluide qui fonctionne de manière efficace avec tout type de réservoir, de forme ou de matériau quelconque.The present invention also aims to provide a fluid dispenser that works effectively with any type of tank, shape or of any material.

La présente invention a également pour but de fournir un tel dispositif de distribution de produit fluide qui empêche toute altération du produit contenu dans le réservoir tout en garantissant une parfaite distribution de celui-ci à chaque actionnement.The present invention also aims to provide a such a fluid dispensing device which prevents any alteration of the product contained in the tank any by guaranteeing a perfect distribution of it to each actuation.

La présente invention a donc pour objet un dispositif de distribution de produit fluide comportant un réservoir de produit, un organe de distribution, tel qu'une pompe, une tourette supportant fixement ledit organe de distribution, ladite tourette étant fixée sur ledit réservoir pour une bague de fixation, ladite tourette étant réalisée en un matériau plastique perméable à l'air.The present invention therefore relates to a device for dispensing of fluid product comprising a reservoir of product, a dispenser, such as a pump, a supporting tower fixedly said dispensing member, said spinner being fixed on said tank for a fixing ring, said tower being made of a plastic material breathable.

Selon une forme de réalisation particulière de l'invention, ladite tourette est réalisée d'une pièce avec ladite bague de fixation.According to a particular embodiment of the invention, said tower is made in one piece with said fixing ring.

De préférence, le matériau plastique perméable à l'air laisse passer l'air vers l'intérieur du réservoir mais. bloque le passage des bactéries. Preferably the breathable plastic material allows air to flow inside the tank but. blocks the passage of bacteria.

Avantageusement, le matériau plastique perméable à l'air comporte des polymères thermoplastiques.Advantageously, the air-permeable plastic material contains thermoplastic polymers.

De préférence, le matériau plastique perméable à l'air comporte une charge.Preferably the breathable plastic material carries a charge.

Avantageusement, la charge est de la craie, du talc ou du silicone.Advantageously, the load is chalk, talc or silicone.

Selon une variante de réalisation avantageuse, ladite tourette comporte une fenêtre en matériau plastique perméable à l'air, ladite fenêtre étant surmoulée dans ladite tourette réalisée en matériau non perméable.According to an advantageous alternative embodiment, said tourette has a plastic window breathable, said window being overmolded in said tower made of non-permeable material.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages apparaítront au cours de la description détaillée suivante donnée à titre d'exemple non limitatif en regard des dessins joints, sur lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue schématique montrant une première variante de tourelle selon la présente invention,
  • la figure 2 est une vue similaire à la figure 1 montrant une seconde variante de tourelle selon la présente invention.
Other characteristics and advantages will appear during the following detailed description given by way of nonlimiting example with regard to the attached drawings, in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing a first variant of a turret according to the present invention,
  • Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1 showing a second alternative turret according to the present invention.

En référence aux dessins, le dispositif de distribution de produit fluide comporte un réservoir de produit (non représenté), qui peut être de forme quelconque et réalisé en un matériau quelconque, un organe de distribution 10, notamment une pompe airless c'est-à-dire fonctionnant sans reprise d'air, et une tourette 20 qui supporte fixement ladite pompe 10. Cette tourette 20 est ensuite fixée sur le col du réservoir au moyen d'une bague de fixation 30. Dans le mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures 1 et 3, la tourette 20 et la bague 30 sont réalisées sous la forme de deux pièces différentes, alors que dans le mode de réalisation représenté sur la figure 2, la tourette 20 et la bague 30 forment une seule pièce. La bague de fixation 30 peut être de tout type approprié, et notamment du type à encliqueter (fig. 1), à visser (fig. 2) ou à sertir (fig 3). Bien entendu, les divers types de fixation sont adaptables aux différentes variantes de réalisation de la tourelle selon l'invention, et les combinaisons représentées sur les dessins ne sont que des exemples particuliers. Par exemple, la variante dans laquelle la tourette 20 est réalisée d'une pièce avec la bague de fixation 30 (fig. 2) est réalisable avec tout type de fixation.With reference to the drawings, the distribution device of fluid product has a product reservoir (not shown), which can be of any shape and made in any material, a distribution member 10, in particular an airless pump, that is to say operating without air intake, and a tower 20 which fixedly supports said pump 10. This tower 20 is then fixed on the tank neck by means of a fixing ring 30. In the embodiment shown in Figures 1 and 3, the tourette 20 and ring 30 are produced in the form of two different rooms, while in the mode of embodiment shown in Figure 2, the tourette 20 and the ring 30 form a single piece. The fixing ring 30 can be of any suitable type, and in particular of the type to snap on (fig. 1), screw on (fig. 2) or crimp (fig 3). Of course, the various types of attachment are adaptable to the different variants of the turret according to the invention, and the combinations represented on the drawings are just specific examples. For example, the variant in which the tower 20 is made of part with fixing ring 30 (fig. 2) is achievable with any type of fixing.

Selon l'invention, la tourelle 20 est réalisée en un matériau plastique perméable à l'air. Ainsi, après chaque utilisation du dispositif, la dépression créée à l'intérieur du réservoir peut être compensée par un flux d'air, représenté schématiquement par la flèche A sur les figures, qui passe à travers ladite tourette 20. Comme cela apparait sur les figures, la tourette 20 à travers laquelle passe l'air est située dans la partie intermédiaire située entre la partie 22 de la tourette 20 que supporte la pompe 10 et la partie 23 de la tourette 20 qui est fixée à la bague de fixation 30. Il est avantageux de réaliser la totalité de la tourette 20 dans le même matériau, comme représenté sur les figures 1 et 2.According to the invention, the turret 20 is made of an air permeable plastic material. Thus, after each use of the device, the depression created inside the tank can be offset by a air flow, represented schematically by arrow A on the figures, which passes through said spinner 20. As it appears in the figures, the tourette 20 through which the air passes is located in the part intermediate located between part 22 of tourette 20 that supports the pump 10 and the part 23 of the tower 20 which is fixed to the fixing ring 30. It is advantageous to carry out all of the spinner 20 in the same material, as shown in Figures 1 and 2.

L'invention permet donc l'utilisation d'une pompe de type connu qui n'a pas besoin d'être modifié, de même que l'utilisation d'un réservoir quelconque de type connu qui lui non plus n'a pas besoin d'être modifié.The invention therefore allows the use of a known type that does not need to be changed, as well as the use of any tank of known type which it doesn't need to be changed either.

La seule pièce à modifier dans les dispositifs de distribution de produit fluide aujourd'hui utilisés, est ladite tourette 20, qui est une pièce de petites dimensions, très facile à fabriquer. Cette tourette peut par exemple être fabriquée par moulage, notamment à l'aide d'un procédé d'injection/soufflage, ou par un procédé de bi-injection. Une caractéristique particulièrement avantageuse de l'invention est que ladite tourette perméable à l'air selon la présente invention peut être réalisée dans la même machine et/ou le même moule que celle/celui fabriquant les tourettes jusqu'à présent utilisées, en modifiant simplement le matériau plastique alimenté à ladite machine.The only part to be modified in the distribution of fluid used today, is said tower 20, which is a small piece, very easy to make. This tourette can for example be manufactured by molding, in particular using a process injection / blowing, or by a bi-injection process. A particularly advantageous feature of the invention is that said air permeable pellet according to the present invention can be carried out in the same machine and / or the same mold as that making the turners so far used, by simply modifying the plastic material supplied to said machine.

La solution proposée par la présente invention est donc particulièrement économique et permet une fabrication et un montage très simple et donc très peu coûteux des différentes parties constitutives du dispositif de distribution, aucune machine de la chaíne de montage ne devant être modifiée.The solution proposed by the present invention is therefore particularly economical and allows manufacturing and very simple and therefore very inexpensive assembly of the different component parts of the distribution system, none machine of the assembly line not to be modified.

Selon l'invention, le matériau plastique perméable à l'air constituant ladite tourette 20 peut avantageusement être constitué de polymères thermoplastiques, tels que des polyoléfines, du PVC ou des polymères techniques, comportant avantageusement une charge. Cette charge destinée à augmenter la dif.fusion de l'air peut être notamment de la craie, du talc ou du silicone.According to the invention, the plastic material permeable to the air constituting said tower 20 can advantageously be made of thermoplastic polymers, such as polyolefins, PVC or technical polymers, comprising advantageously a charge. This charge intended for increasing the air distribution can be notably chalk, talc or silicone.

L'avantage de ces matériaux plastiques est qu'ils laissent passer l'air tout en retenant les agents contaminants tels que les bactéries, permettant ainsi d'éviter une altération du produit contenu à l'intérieur le réservoir.The advantage of these plastic materials is that they let air in while retaining agents contaminants such as bacteria, thus allowing avoid alteration of the product inside tank.

Concernant les matériaux plastiques perméables à l'air utilisables pour réaliser la tourette selon l'invention, ceux-ci peuvent notamment être ceux utilisés pour réaliser les parois du flacon dans le document EP- 0771 734. Ce document est par conséquent inclus dans la présente description à titre de référence pour cette caractéristique particulière.Regarding air permeable plastic materials usable to make the tourette according to the invention, these can in particular be those used to carry out the walls of the bottle in document EP-0771 734. This document is therefore included in this description for reference for this characteristic special.

La présente invention permet donc de fournir une solution particulièrement avantageuse et économique pour résoudre le problème consistant à éviter une contamination du produit contenu dans un dispositif de distribution fonctionnant avec une pompe airless.The present invention therefore makes it possible to provide a particularly advantageous and economical solution for solve the problem of avoiding contamination of the product contained in a distribution device operating with an airless pump.
