Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a mode dispenser for peripheral delivery intended to be mounted on a container of high viscosity liquid products, such as gels, creams, pastes ...
  • distributors including a mounted pump on the neck of a container and delivering the product via an axial passage formed in particular by a spray tube.
  • dispensers are not suitable for certain types conditioning, for which we are looking for a mode of peripheral or at least lateral final distribution and no longer axial.
  • the object of the present invention is to solve this problem technique satisfactorily.
  • the internal face of said collar has a delimited groove, on the radially outer side, by a crown in which the edge is engaged and locked upper part of the bowl.
  • the inner edge of said flange forms a high stop for the piston thus ensuring its retention in the bowl.
  • the external face of the piston is provided with a central stud forming a pusher.
  • the bowl has ribs extending along of the lower part of its internal side wall over a height sufficient to allow the escape of air upon priming by forced piston deformation.
  • the internal face of the piston includes a sleeve central ensuring both the coaxial guidance of the spring and the end stop against the bottom of the bowl.
  • the dispenser of the invention comprises, where appropriate, a vent made in the form of a cutout from the upper edge of the bowl.
  • said annular zone elastically deformable is produced on the periphery of the piston being consisting of a flexible lip whose free end is in position closure, sealingly against the internal side wall of the bowl.
  • the external face of the piston is provided, at the junction with said lip, stiffening elements.
  • said elastically annular zone deformable is located on the side wall of the bowl by being constituted peripheral thinning, which may be distorted elastically by the rigid edge of the piston.
  • the rigid edge of the piston has a lateral flank provided with a projection intended to come into abutment against the side wall deformable bowl.
  • said elastically deformable zone is located on the side wall of the bowl, and consists of a part peripheral made with a flexible elastomeric material possibly different from the rigid material constituting the others parts of the bowl.
  • said annular zone elastically deformable consists of a flexible lip carried, a part, by the lower end of a central cylinder integral with the piston and projecting inside the metering chamber and cooperating, on the other hand, with a peripheral scraping element fixed on the face internal piston.
  • the product discharge passage is formed from the lip, the enclosure delimited around the cylinder central by said scraping element, on the one hand, and the lip, on the other hand, then by a network of vertical conduits arranged around the periphery of said cylinder and communicating, at their lower end with said enclosure and at their upper end with a network of conduits transverse opening to the outside.
  • said lip is inclined relative to the axis of the dispenser and rests in the closed position on the edge radially inside of the scraper element.
  • the dispenser of the present invention is more particularly intended for viscous products for which it offers a mode of original and aesthetic delivery.
  • This distributor which has a simple structure, and therefore easy to make and assemble.
  • the distributor shown in section in Figures 1a and 1b is intended to be mounted on a container (not shown) of products viscous liquids.
  • This dispenser includes a bowl 1 provided at its lower part an inlet 10 extended here downwards, by a tube plunger 10a which is intended to protrude inside the container.
  • the inlet 10 is equipped with a valve 11 produced here in the form of a ball 11a resting on a seat 11b.
  • the bowl 1 is closed at its upper part by a piston 2, returned to the high position by a spring 3, and delimiting with the wall internal of the bowl 1 a dosing chamber 12.
  • annular zone of the wall of the chamber 12 is, in whole or in part, elastically deformable for free, under the effect of the piston 2, a product discharge passage, opening out peripherally to the outside.
  • the area deformable ring is made on the periphery of the piston 2 while being consisting of a flexible lip 21 whose free end 21a is in closed position, sealed against the internal side wall 1b of bowl 1 (see figure 1a).
  • peripheral flexible lip 21 is inclined towards the high with an angle ⁇ close to 45 ° relative to the plane of the part central 23 of piston 2 on the internal face of which supports spring 3.
  • the external face 2b of the piston 2 is provided, at the junction between the central flat part 23 and the peripheral lip 21, of elements stiffeners 24.
  • the upper edge 1a of the bowl 1 is fixed on a flange 4 of connection with the container neck (not shown).
  • the internal face of the collar 4 has a groove 40, delimited on the radially outer side by a ring 41 in which is engaged and locked the upper edge 1a of the bowl 1.
  • the collar 4 is preferably frustoconical by being inclined towards the center of the dispenser, and its inner edge 4a forms a stop high for piston 2, thus ensuring its retention in bowl 1.
  • the groove 40 is delimited on the radially inner side by an annular ring 42 carried by the inner edge 4a of the collar 4, and bearing, in position closing, on the external face 2b of the piston 2.
  • the external face 2b of the piston 2 is provided with a central stud 5 forming a pusher on which the user manually presses to obtain product delivery.
  • the stud is made in one piece with piston 2 or in the form of an insert then glued or welded.
  • the collar 4 thus forms a cup in the center of which is arranged a nut of product.
  • the lip 21 returns then resiliently in its initial sealing position while the piston 2 rises under the action of spring 3, by opening the valve 11. A dose of product is thus drawn into the container via the orifice 10 and comes to fill the chamber 12. The distributor is then ready for new use.
  • the part bottom of bowl 1 consists of a flat bottom 1d provided with the orifice inlet 10 and which is connected to the side wall 1b by a sidewall frustoconical 1c.
  • the bowl 1 has ribs 13 extending along the part lower of its internal side wall 1a and over a sufficient height to allow the escape of air at the initiation by deformation forced piston 2.
  • the internal face 2a of the piston 2 comprises a central sleeve 22 ensuring both the coaxial guiding of the spring with the X axis of the distributor and the end stop against the bottom 1d of the bowl.
  • the height of the sleeve 22 is therefore determined by taking account of the position and height of the ribs 13.
  • the embodiment of the dispenser represents in the figures 1a and 1b includes a vent 14 produced in the form of a cutout 14a of the upper edge 1a of the bowl 1. This cutout 14a communicates in opening phase, the metering chamber 12 with the outside.
  • Figures 2a and 2b show a second embodiment of the distributor of the invention.
  • the elastically annular zone deformable from the wall of the chamber 12 is located on the side wall 1b of bowl 1, consisting of peripheral thinning 15 likely to be elastically deformed by the rigid edge 20 of the piston 2.
  • the rigid edge 20 has a lateral flank provided an annular projection 20a intended to come into deforming support against the internal side wall of the bowl 1.
  • the peripheral thinning 15 is here in the form of cavities or grooves made in hollow on the external face of the side wall 1b At the thinnings 15, the side wall 1b deforms outward under product pressure, thereby releasing a passage P between the projection 20a of the piston 2 and the internal face of thinning 15.
  • the radially inner edge 4a of the collar 4 comes in direct support against the external face 2b of the piston 2 in the high position.
  • the annular zone elastically deformable is still located on the side wall 1b of the bowl 1 but here it consists of a peripheral part, made with a flexible elastomer material, possibly different from the material rigid bowl.
  • This arrangement can be made for example using a bi-injection molding process.
  • the area elastically deformable annular of the wall of the chamber 12 is consisting of a flexible lip 26 carried by the lower end of a central cylinder 28 integral with the piston 2 and projecting inside said room.
  • the lip 26 cooperates with a peripheral scraping element 6 fixed on the internal face 2a of the piston 2.
  • the passage P for the evacuation of the product is constituted, from of chamber 12 and from lip 26, of enclosure 12a delimited around of the cylinder 28 by the scraping element 6, on the one hand, and the lip 26, on the other hand, then by a network of vertical conduits 27 formed on the around the cylinder 28.
  • the conduits 27 communicate, at their lower end with enclosure 12a and at their upper end with a network of conduits transverse 29 opening to the outside on the periphery of the stud central 5.
  • the lip 26 is inclined relative to the axis X of the dispenser and rests, in the closed position of the enclosure 12a, on the edge radially inside 6a of the scraping element 6.
  • the pressure generated in the chamber 12 by the descent of the piston 2 causes the bending towards the top of the lip 26 and the opening of the enclosure 12a.
  • the seal is ensured by permanence between the side edge 20 of the piston 2 and the side wall 1b of the bowl 1.
