Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for closing and / or filling a sprayer tank as well as a fluid sprayer comprising a such tank.
  • the present invention is particularly suitable for use in a spraying of liquid, in particular in the field of pharmacy.
  • a first problem concerns the stability and the product contamination. Indeed, during his period of storage, a liquid product tends to evaporate and / or could be contaminated by external agents such as bacteria, or even oxidized by oxygen. To avoid all evaporation, tight closure and use of non-permeable materials for the constituent parts tanks are required. To avoid any contamination, it is important to minimize the number of different materials in contact with the product fluid, and these materials should also be inert vis-à-vis the product. Materials suitable for fulfill these two requirements include for example the glass for the tank, and special rubbers not interacting with the liquid product for the sealing device (s).
  • the product by example the vaccine
  • the product will only be available for a few months before use (2 to 3 months), and filling million devices will have to be realized in a time very short.
  • a rubber stopper which also serves pump piston, is pierced at the time of actuation by a hollow needle which is connected to the nozzle of spraying the device.
  • This solution allows solve the problem of stability and contamination of the product contained in the tank, since it only uses glass and rubber, but it does not overcome the problem of filling after assembly of the tank. Indeed, the tank must be filled separately before assembly end of the device.
  • no precompression is not provided by this system since the resistance of the rubber at the needle penetration is very limited.
  • the piercing provided by the needle can in some cases remove small particles of rubber that could clog the spray or be ejected into the user's nasal cavity.
  • the closure is carried out in a way relatively simple, the opening of the device is complex, requires several components, and is difficult to handle, especially due to the presence of a needle.
  • US-3,841,329 discloses a syringe comprising a plug adapted to form the piston of dispensing when the syringe is actuated.
  • This piston-cap has a slot which opens when the syringe is activated.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a system closing and / or filling for a tank intended for use in a device for spraying, which does not have the disadvantages supra.
  • the present invention aims to provide a tank with a simple and effective closure which is opened by the pressure that is created inside the tank at the time of actuation, without the need for a complex opening system that removes or pierces or removes parts of components.

  • the present invention also aims to provide a closing and / or filling system which allows the use of a minimum of materials in contact with the product contained in the tank, and in particular glass for the tank and a rubber with inert characteristics towards the product for the closing element.
  • the present invention also aims to provide a closing and filling system for a tank, which can be used as a liquid inlet for a quick and easy filling, filling can in particular be carried out before the complete final assembly of the fluid dispenser incorporating said tank.
  • the present invention also aims to provide a opening and / or filling system that opens, to allow the expulsion of the liquid, only if a sufficiently high and predetermined pressure is created during actuation a tank, so that the product is expelled with some precompression. This is particularly advantageous as part of a system spray.
  • the present invention also aims to tank comprising a closure and filling which simultaneously fulfills all requirements above, i.e. it ensures the stability of the product contained in the tank, which it avoids contamination of this product by chemical interaction, that it allows a quick and simple filling of the tank, especially after final assembly of the device, and that expels the product with precompression be predetermined.

  • the radial flange 29 of the element shutter 20 folds down along the actuating rod 30 under the effect of the force released by the opening of the slot 24 so that the closure element 20 transforms into a sliding piston inside the walls 11 of the reservoir 10, which then forms the pump body.
  • the precompression achieved by the closure element 20 guarantees that the product contained in the tank is expelled from the tank with optimal pressure.
  • the shutter member 20 then acts as piston and is moved to the bottom of the tank 10, to expel the product it contains, through the slot 24 and an expulsion channel provided in the rod actuation 30.
  • the precompression threshold required to deform the bottom wall 23 and open the slot 24 can be determined by choosing a thickness and / or a appropriate geometry of said bottom portion 23.
