Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for connecting a pump to a flexible bag containing a liquid or creamy product in order to constitute a distributor without air intake.
  • Airless distributors that is to say those operating without air intake in the tank, include a pump consisting in particular of a body provided at its lower part with an intake orifice capable of communicating with the internal volume of a flexible pocket forming the reservoir for the product to be dispensed. This pocket is tightly fixed on the pump body and is generally enclosed in a more rigid outer packaging or covering.
  • these distributors are not refillable due to the very fact that the pump and the bag and sometimes even the external covering are assembled in a final manner, their separation resulting in an irreversible rupture of the seal.
  • the pump / bag assembly does not form an integral unit suitable for any exterior covering.
  • the shape and dimensions of this covering are imposed by the product manufacturers and are therefore different from one product to another, which poses connection problems.
  • the present invention aims to solve these technical problems satisfactorily.
  • This object is achieved, according to the invention, by means of a device for connecting the body of a pump to a flexible bag containing a liquid or creamy product, characterized in that it comprises a cylindrical sleeve for sealingly fixing the pocket connecting at the top to a carrying shoulder, on the one hand, of a peripheral ring for assembly with the wall of a rigid external housing and, on the other hand, of a central socket for the waterproof support of the pump.
  • the central sleeve has an internal ferrule in which the pump body is removably fitted and fixed by radial tightening.
  • said ferrule is disposed inside the pocket fixing sleeve.
  • the device further comprises a locking and covering collar intended to trap said pump by covering the central bush.
  • said flange comprises means for retaining on the central bush.
  • said flange consists of a lower part with an external skirt provided with snap-fastening members on the central bushing and extended by an upper part of restricted diameter provided with a transverse wall bearing axially on the pump body.
  • said collar comprises an annular wedging groove intended to receive the upper edge of the sleeve.
  • said peripheral ring is provided with an outside air inlet orifice.
  • said peripheral ring is removably assembled with the outer casing by means of snap-fastening members.
  • said fixing sleeve is adapted to the welding of the pocket.
  • the device of the invention allows, if necessary, to easily separate the pump from the bag in order to perform its filling or recharging.
  • peripheral ring allows optionally removable docking of the pump / bag assembly on the outer packaging box, the profile and geometry of which are arbitrary, which gives it great flexibility of use and allows the use of refills.
  • the device of the invention makes it possible to provide a distribution system in the form of a completely independent pump / bag assembly and ready for use if the bag is previously filled with product.
  • This system can be quickly and easily packaged in different outer cases whose shapes are characteristic of the brands of the products.
  • the device of the invention also allows the filling of the bag by the bottom before introduction into the housing, which allows high rates of packaging; closing the bottom of the pocket then being carried out after filling, by direct welding into the "vein" of the product.
  • the device of the invention applies to both ventless and vented pumps
  • FIG. 1 represents a sectional view of a first embodiment of the device of the invention.
  • Figure 2 shows a sectional view of a second embodiment of the device of the invention.
  • the device shown in the figures is intended for connecting a pump P and more particularly an "airless" pump to a flexible bag S forming a reservoir for a liquid or creamy product.
  • the pump P is here ventless and is equipped with a head T of axially movable distribution and covering the exhaust duct E which projects upwards outside the body C of the pump P.
  • This connection device comprises a lower connector element 1 consisting of a cylindrical sleeve 10 for tightly securing the bag S which is attached at the top to a shoulder 11 carrying, on the one hand, a peripheral ring 13 for assembly with the wall an outer packaging and, on the other hand, a central sleeve 12 for sealing the pump P.
  • the outer packaging is preferably formed by a rigid housing B of any shape but which must nevertheless have an edge upper adapted to a simple mechanical connection with the ring 13 of the lower element 1.
  • the lower edge of the ring 13 has on the outer side a square section 13a intended to be fixed (for example by gluing or welding) in wedging support against a constriction b formed on the upper edge of the inner wall of the housing B.
  • the diameter of the opening of the housing B being wider than the diameter of the sleeve 10 and the pocket being stiffened in its upper part by said sleeve, the introduction and assembly of the pump / pocket assembly in the housing B are rapid and wealthy.
  • the section of the lower edge of the ring is preferably on the internal side.
  • the central sleeve 12 has an internal ferrule 14 preferably made in the coaxial extension of the sleeve 10 and in which the cylindrical body C of the pump P is removably fitted.
  • the fixing sleeve 10 of the pocket S here coaxially surrounds the ferrule 14 and therefore the lower part of the body C which is therefore free, which allows the inlet orifice Located at the frustoconical lower end of the body C to be in direct contact with the product.
  • the sleeve 10 is produced in the coaxial extension of the ferrule 14 but the radial tightening of the pump body is always ensured only at the level of the sleeve.
  • the sleeve 10 projects downwards beyond the plane defined by the lower edge of the ring 13.
  • the device further comprises an upper element consisting of a collar 2 ensuring the locking of the pump P and the covering of the sleeve 12 of the lower element 1 .
  • the upper part 2a of the flange 2 is connected to the lower part 2b which has a restricted diameter by forming a shoulder 2c.
  • the upper part 2a carries a transverse wall 21 which bears axially on the upper part of the body C of the pump P to trap it between the collar 2 and the sleeve 12.
  • the transverse wall 21 is provided with a central bore 21a intended to receive the exhaust pipe E of the pump P.
  • the upper part 2a also includes an internal zone 24 for clipping the upper part of the pump body and an external zone 25 for axially guiding the dispensing head T.
  • the lower part 2b of the flange 2 is formed of an external skirt 22 provided with retaining means on the central bush 12. These means comprise snap-fastening members 22a produced on the internal face of the skirt 22 and intended to cooperate with complementary members 12a carried by the external face of the socket 12.
  • the lower part 2b comprises an inverted annular groove 20 delimited between the internal face of the skirt 22 and an internal cylindrical flank 23 carried by the shoulder 2c.
  • the groove 20 receives the upper edge of the sleeve 12 when the latching members 22a of the skirt 22 are locked on the members 12a so as to secure the upper element 2 on the lower element 1.
  • sealing is ensured mainly by the cooperation between the wall 21 with the clipping zone 24, on the one hand , and the upper part of the pump body C with its exhaust duct E, on the other hand.
  • the device of the invention is applied to a pump body provided with a vent hole (not shown) which would then be produced between the ferrule 14 and the clipping zone 24, the required seal would then be ensured by a radial tightening of the ferrule 14 on the body C.
