  • the filling valve is connected to a tube emerging above the surface of the product, so as to avoid generating foam in the container when the container is recharged with compressed air.
  • the filling valve is also relatively complex because to ensure sealing not only vis-à-vis the compressed air but the liquid product, contained in the container.
  • the international application WO91 / 01257 discloses an assembly of the same type as that described in application WO94 / 03380, the filling valve being preferably equipped with a tube emerging above the surface of the product.
  • the filling valve preferably comprises a first seal which opens when a filling nozzle is introduced and a second seal which opens under the pressure of the air leaving the filling nozzle, and has a relatively complex.
  • No. 5,343,904 discloses an assembly similar to those described in the aforementioned international applications, in which the filling valve comprises a ball and an O-ring.
  • the filling tip has a relatively large diameter and carries an O-ring.
  • a lever mechanism relatively complex, engages on the filling valve during filling, to immobilize container.
  • US Patent 4,159,789 discloses a pressurized container having a flexible bag containing a product to be dispensed.
  • US Patent 5,695,096 discloses a device having a valve that can take different configurations.
  • the invention aims in particular to remedy all or part of the disadvantages of known distribution sets, and in particular aims to provide a relatively simple structure assembly and reliable operation.
  • the subject of the invention is an assembly according to claim 1.
  • the filling valve that is used can have a relatively simple structure because it is not in contact with the product.
  • the product is contained in a flexible pouch inside the container.
  • the container is provided with a valve for dispensing the product, this valve having at least three different operating positions, namely a rest position, a position allowing the distribution of air alone and a position allowing the distribution of a mixture of air and product.
  • the filling valve is made solely of elastomer, being preferably made in one piece by molding.
  • the device for charging compressed air to the container advantageously comprises a compressor and a nozzle connected to the outlet of the compressor, arranged to engage in the valve of the container.
  • the device for charging the compressed air container comprises a movable member provided with a passage for the tip, the movable member and the tip being arranged so that the tip engages in the valve of the container in response to a depression of the movable member.
  • the length of the tip is chosen so that it does not reach the bottom of the filling valve when the movable member is depressed, the tip engaging for example only 2/3 of the length of the valve.
  • the tip remains engaged in the movable member whatever the position of the movable member, and in particular in the absence of a container.
  • the movable member is returned to an initial position by elastic return means.

  • the return of the movable member in its initial position is advantageously detected in order to automatically interrupt at this time the operation of the compressor.
  • the device comprises retaining means arranged to directly or indirectly hold the movable member pressed against the return action of the elastic return means, as long as a predetermined condition is satisfied, this predetermined condition corresponding for example the existence of a pressure lower than a predetermined value in the container and / or the fact that the compressor is in operation.
  • the device comprises a pressure switch at the outlet of the compressor.
  • This pressure switch is advantageously used to stop the operation of the compressor when the pressure in the container reaches a predetermined value, corresponding to the end of the compressed air filling.
  • the aforementioned retaining means for holding the movable member depressed during the filling period advantageously comprise at least one suction cup connected to the inlet of the compressor.
  • this or each suction cup is positioned so that the movable member comes into contact with it when it is depressed.
  • the or each suction cup can thus participate in maintaining the movable member in the depressed position, as long as the compressor is in operation, thanks to the depression prevailing at the compressor inlet.
  • the partial vacuum at the inlet of the compressor is broken, so that the adhesion of the or each suction cup on the movable member ceases and the latter can return to its initial position under the action of return of the elastic return means.
  • the or each suction cup comes into contact of the container when the movable member is depressed.
  • the movable member then advantageously comprises openings allowing the or each suction cup to come into contact with the bottom of the container when the latter rests on the movable member and that it is depressed.
  • the movable member is held down against the action of the elastic return means by the adhesion of the or each suction cup on the container, due to the depression at the compressor inlet when the latter is in operation.
  • This rise of the movable member is advantageously detected in order to interrupt the operation of the compressor.
  • the device comprises three suckers, equidistributed angularly around the tip.
  • the compressor is connected by a pipe to an air intake, which is arranged to introduce a pressure drop.
  • This pressure drop is advantageously chosen so that the depression at the inlet of the compressor is sufficiently high that the suction cup (s) can exert the desired holding force on the movable member or the container.
  • the upper surface of the movable member advantageously has a boss, arranged to promote the correct positioning of the container relative to the movable member.
  • FIG. 1 shows a device 1 for recharging a container 2, the latter comprising a reservoir provided in the upper part with a dispensing head 3 and in the lower part with a filling valve 11, which is not shown in the figure. 1 and shown in FIG.

  • the body 102 has an annular groove 116 on its inner surface.
  • the movable member 105 sinks against the return action of the spring 115 and the orifice 109 opens under the seal 112, inside the body 102.
  • a passage of propellant gas can then be made through the passage 104 and then through the conduit 108.
  • the seal 106 is sealingly applied to the inner surface of the body 102 and prevents the product from being driven by the propellant.
  • the seal 106 ceases to be applied to the inner surface of the body and the product can pass around the movable member 105 and mix with the propellant gas to gain the conduit 108.

  • a microswitch 19 is provided to detect the depression of the movable member 9.
  • This microswitch 19 comprises a movable pusher 20 and the movable member 9 comprises a ramp 21 arranged such that the downward movement of the movable member 9 causes the depression of the pusher 20 and the closing of the electrical contact of the microswitch 19 .
