Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for closing the orifice of distribution of a fluid dispenser as well as a dispensing head and a fluid dispenser comprising such a closure device.
  • Document WO-A-98/00354 discloses a removable cover which, when put in place, seal the dispensing orifice tightly with an element closure, in particular a deformable pad, disposed on the bottom wall of the cover. This device ensures a good seal, but does not prevent contamination, especially bacterial, of the small amount of product remaining near the orifice dispenser after actuating the dispenser. Therefore, at the next actuation, a small amount of contaminated product may be dispensed.
  • Document WO-A-93/24164 discloses a split cover adapted to allow the quick drying of the dispensing part.
  • This cover may include in its bottom a absorbent pad which can be impregnated with a suitable preservative. This stamp should allow rapid drying and does not act as a shutter.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a closure device which does not not have the aforementioned drawbacks.
  • the present invention aims to provide a device obturation which prevents any bacterial contamination at the level of the orifice of distribution between two actuations.
  • the present invention also aims to provide a shutter device which is simple and inexpensive to manufacture and assemble.
  • the present invention also aims to provide such a device shutter that is easy to use for the dispenser user.
  • the present invention therefore relates to a device for closing the orifice of dispensing of a fluid dispenser, comprising a removable cover provided a closure element which, in the closed position, closes said orifice, said element obturation comprising a bactericidal and / or bacteriostatic substance acting on the small amount of product remaining at said orifice after actuation of the distributor.
  • the closure element has an external shape which corresponds to the external profile of the closure orifice.
  • said closure element is produced in the form of a ball.
  • the closure element is disposed on a bottom wall of the hood, projecting therefrom.
  • the closure element is made of a material incorporating the bactericidal and / or bacteriostatic substance.
  • the sealing element is coated with the substance bactericidal and / or bacteriostatic.
  • said bactericidal and / or bacteriostatic substance acts only no contact, without release of ions into the product.
  • the present invention also relates to a dispenser head of a dispenser of fluid, said dispensing head comprising a dispensing orifice and a device for closing said orifice, as defined above.
  • the dispensing head is a nasal plunger comprising a axial central distribution orifice disposed at the bottom of a bowl made in the end of said dispensing head, said cover being in the form of a hollow sleeve fixing around said nasal plunger, said cover comprising a ball fixed to the wall bottom of said cover, said diameter of the ball corresponding substantially to the diameter of the bowl to eliminate any presence of product in the closed position of the cover said bowl.
  • the present invention also relates to a fluid dispenser, comprising a product reservoir and a dispensing head, such as a pusher, provided with a dispensing orifice, comprising a device for closing said orifice, as defined above.
  • the present invention covers a shutter device as well as a head dispenser and a fluid dispenser comprising such a device shutter ,.
  • the shutter device of the invention applying to all types of distributor, this will not be described in detail below.
  • dispensing head 4 shown in the drawings is a pusher nasal closure, but the closure device of the invention is not limited to this type of button. The invention is in fact applicable to any orifice of a product dispenser likely to be contaminated.
  • the nasal plunger 4 includes at its end an orifice axial distribution 5, and on the opposite side a bearing surface 6 for actuating the distributor, as well as connection means 7 of the head 4 on a member distribution, such as a pump (not shown).
  • the head comprises in the expulsion channel leading to orifice 5 an internal nozzle or insert 19 to limit dead volume.
  • the head may also include a shutter disposed upstream of the orifice.
  • the closure device comprises a removable cover 10, which, in its position closed shown in Figure 1, closes the dispensing orifice 5.
  • said cover includes a shutter element 20.
  • This shutter element can advantageously be arranged on a bottom wall 18 of the cover 10, and is preferably made in the form of a ball.
  • said closure element 20 comprises a substance bactericide and / or bacteriostatic acting on the product remaining at said orifice 5 after actuation of the dispenser.
  • the bactericidal and / or bacteriostatic substance can be incorporated into the material constituting the closure element 20, where it can be coated on said sealing element 20.
  • said substance bactericidal and / or bacteriostatic acts only by contact without release of ions in the product.
  • FIG 2 is an enlarged schematic view of the device shutter of Figure 1 in the open position, it is visible that the dispensing orifice 5 nasal plunger 4 is formed at the bottom of a sort of bowl 50 provided in the wall outer end of said head 4.
  • This embodiment corresponds to a head of typical nasal distribution.
  • the closure element 20 of the obturation device is made with an external shape which corresponds substantially in the shape of said bowl 50. In this way, when the cover 10 is in closed position, any product remaining in said bowl 50 after actuation of the dispenser is removed by the closure element which occupies the volume corresponding.
  • the closure element 20 is advantageously produced under the shape of a ball whose diameter corresponds substantially to the diameter of said bowl 50.
  • the bactericidal and / or bacteriostatic substance of said obturation element 20 acts advantageously on the small amount of product contained in the small channel 51, visible in FIG. 2, which forms the dispensing orifice 5 and connects the expulsion channel of the head 4 with the bottom of said bowl 50.
  • any quantity of product remaining nearby said orifice 5, after actuation of the dispenser is prevented from being contaminated by the establishment of the cover 10, by means of the closure element 20 containing a bactericidal and / or bacteriostatic substance.
  • the present invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiment particular shown in the figures and, in particular, the closure element 20 is not necessarily produced in the form of a ball fitting in a bowl provided in the end of the dispensing head.
  • the present invention provides a obturation element 20, incorporating a bactericidal and / or bacteriostatic substance, and which in the closed position of the cover 10 prevents any contamination of the remaining product in or near the dispensing orifice 5. It is even conceivable that the element shutter 20 enters the interior of the dispensing orifice 5, if desired.
  • the cover 10 is not necessarily made in the form of a hollow sleeve as shown in the drawings, but on the contrary may have any suitable form.
  • the cover 10 can be fixed in its closed position on the dispensing head 4, advantageously by snap-fastening. To do this, it may include means of fastener 15 such as one or more snap ribs that snap onto a part of said head 4.
  • the means 15 for fixing the cover 10 to the head 4 may have any suitable form.
  • the cover 10 could be screwed on the head 4, or else be fixed to another element of the dispenser, such as for example the product container (not shown).
  • the present invention therefore provides a device for closing the orifice of distribution 5 of a fluid dispenser which is easy to set up and to remove, which guarantees that the orifice 5 is closed in the closed position, and simultaneously prevents any contamination of the product at the level of said dispensing orifice 5 in this closed position.
