Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a flexible pocket support intended to be mounted in a fluid dispenser comprising a flexible pocket in which the product to be distributed is stored.
  • a dispensing device such as a pump or a valve.
  • the distribution device is preferably a device of the type without air intake or "Airless" in which the product is extracted without introducing air, so that the volume of the flexible bag decreases as the product is dispensed.
  • This intermediate piece is here called flexible pocket support because it is on this piece that the opening of the flexible pouch is generally fixed by welding.
  • the support defines a structure on which the dispensing device or dispensing member is mounted. The support then defines a passage communicating the dispensing member with the opening of the flexible bag to allow the extraction of the fluid contained in the bag.
  • the dispenser described in document WO-A-93/25321 includes a pocket flexible provided with a dip tube fixed in a coupling sleeve which defines also the passage communicating the inside of the pocket with the outside.
  • the fluid product can thus reach the passage of the support either directly along the tube, either through the inside of the tube in case a compartment is formed in the pocket.
  • the tube has therefore a racking function allowing the extraction of the fluid product contained in a pocket compartment
  • the tube is directly disposed in the passage.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy this drawback of the prior art by defining a dispenser with an easily refillable dip tube pocket,
  • the present invention provides a flexible pocket support such as defined in claim 1.
  • a flexible pocket support such as defined in claim 1.
  • said appendage is formed with at least one fixing end-piece. adapted to engage the upper end of the tube.
  • said tip fixing communicates with the passage through at least one window located beyond the upper end of the tube.
  • said fixing end piece communicates with the passage through a conduit extending into the extension of said tip and opening into the passage.
  • the upper end of the tube is forcibly engaged on said tip.
  • said at least one tube is fixed with its upper end out of the way in the immediate vicinity of the latter.
  • the invention also relates to a dispenser comprising such a support.
  • the flexible pocket support according to the invention which is designated as a whole by the reference numeral 1 is preferably made by molding plastic material. It essentially comprises an appendage 11 advantageously in the form of a diamond or as can be seen in Figure 2, on which the opening of the flexible pocket (not shown) can be fixed for example by welding. To facilitate and improve the quality of the watertight fixing of the opening of the flexible pocket on the appendix 11, this the latter can be provided with horizontal ribs as can be seen in FIG. 3.
  • the flexible pocket support 1 is provided with a socket 12 used for mounting a pump or valve.
  • the pump can be attached to the socket 12 by means of a ring adapted to snap onto socket 12 in holding the pump or valve on the socket.
  • the support 1 defines a passage 13 extending through the socket 12 and the appendix 11 as can be seen in the figure the. This passage makes it possible to communicate the inlet of the pump or of the mounted valve on the socket 12 with the opening of the flexible pocket welded on the appendix 11.
  • the support 1 can be provided with a peripheral flange 10 which can be used for the fixing of the support on a rigid shell enclosing the flexible pocket.
  • the support 1 is provided with a tube 2 intended to extend inside the pocket flexible.
  • the tube 2 is open at these two ends and defines inside a conduit 20 to through which the fluid can flow.
  • the tube 2 comprises a lower end 21 located inside the flexible bag, preferably in the vicinity from the bottom of the pocket and an upper end 22 connected to the support 1.
  • the conduit 20 communicates with passage 13 directly or indirectly without possibility for the pocket to cut or close this communication.
  • the tube 2 extends eccentrically of passage 13, so that it is located outside the passage, leaving the latter perfectly free for filling the pocket. Indeed, the tube 2 is fixed to the support 1 at the level of the appendix 11 on a nozzle 14 formed at near the lower opening of the passage 13.
  • the end piece 14 is in the form a connection sleeve on which one can come to engage the upper end 22 of the tube 2 in force for example, and further comprises one or more windows 15 located above the upper end 22 of the tube 2, the said window or windows communicating directly or indirectly with passage 13.
  • the sleeve 14 of the fixing end piece can communicate with the passage 13 via a conduit 15a extending in the extension of said sleeve and opening laterally into passage 13.
  • the method of fixing the tube to the support 1 is not critical for the invention in meaning that any fixing technique can be used to secure the tube 2 to support 1.
  • any fixing technique can be used to secure the tube 2 to support 1.
  • support 1 and tube 2 are molded in one piece.
  • the spirit of the invention resides in the fact of using a tube which communicates with passage 13 without possibility for the flexible pocket to cut off this communication, so that the lower end 21 of the tube 2 can reach areas of the pocket in which sealed compartments can form.
  • this tube should not obstruct or obstruct passage 1 in order to fill the pocket.
  • a support for flexible pocket comprising several tubes 2 as can be seen in the figures where it is provided two fixing ends on the same pocket support 1 located on both sides of the passage.
  • the fluid product contained in the flexible bag can thus reach passage 13, either directly, for example along the tube 2, or indirectly through the tube 2 which communicates with its upper end 22 with passage 13.
