Definitions
- the present invention relates to a fluid dispenser comprising a dispensing member, such as a pump or a valve, a container forming a neck on which the pump or the valve is mounted by means of a metallic fixing member.
- a dispensing member such as a pump or a valve
- a container forming a neck on which the pump or the valve is mounted by means of a metallic fixing member.
- Document DE-20 02 416 describes an aerosol comprising a metal container forming a neck in which a valve is mounted by means of a fixing ring. A cover is mounted on the aerosol by cooperating with an intermediate ring mounted on the fixing ring.
- the aerosol described comprises a valve actuating head which is fixed on an intermediate ring mounted on the valve fixing ring.
- the dispenser comprises a covering band mounted so as to at least partially mask the pump or the valve and the fixing member.
- This type of dispenser is used in particular in the field of perfumery or cosmetics for the distribution of creams or perfumes.
- the covering band can then have an attractive aesthetic shape coordinated with that of the container.
- Such dispensers generally include a pump which is fixed to the neck of the container using a metal ring in which the pump is crimped.
- the ring is furthermore provided with a threaded sleeve for fixing by screwing on the neck of the container. Since it is practically impossible to mount the covering hoop in a stable manner on such a metal ring, an additional metal ring mounted on the fixing ring is used in the prior art.
- This additional ring generally has an external latching profile intended to cooperate with the internal wall of the covering hoop which may preferably be provided with an additional latching profile.
- the object of the present invention is to remedy this drawback of the prior art by defining a fluid dispenser, the covering band of which is mounted in a perfectly fixed and stable manner on a metal fixing ring.
- the present invention proposes that the cover band is mounted on a plastic ring formed around the metal fixing ring.
- the problem of lack of stability of the covering band which comes from the metal-metal contact between the metal fixing ring and the additional metal ring is here resolved by the use of a plastic ring which acts as an interface more or less flexible between the metal fixing ring and the covering band.
- the plastic ring is overmolded on the metal fixing member.
- the ring comprises a threaded bush in p ⁇ se with an external thread formed on the neck of the container, the plastic ring being formed on said threaded bush.
- the fixing ring in the case where the fixing ring is screwed onto the neck of the container, it has a threaded sleeve with a corrugated peripheral external surface which corresponds to the negative of the internal thread.
- the overmolded plastic ring then conforms perfectly to the profile of the corrugated surface of the sleeve, which further increases the adhesion of the ring to the sleeve.
- the plastic ring has a latching profile which projects radially towards the exterior.
- the covering hoop comprises a mté ⁇ eur snap-in profile which cooperates by encetting with the profile of the plastic ring.
- the profile of the hoop is engaged below the profile of the ring, the hoop coming to bear with its lower end on the container.
- the covering hoop comprises a window through which the distribution of fluid product is made, advantageously, through a spray nozzle
- the single figure shows a cross-sectional view through a fluid dispenser according to the invention.
- the fluid dispenser shown in the single figure comprises a container 1 provided with a neck 20 formed with an external thread 21
- a pump or a valve 1 is mounted on the neck 20 by means of a fixing member 3 which is here in the form of a metal fixing ring.
- the fixing ring 3 comprises a crimping housing 31 in which the body of the pump or of the valve 1 is fixedly received. Below the crimping housing 31, the fixing ring 3 forms a shoulder 32 used to press a seal 6 on the upper end of the neck 20. Below the shoulder 32, the fixing ring 3 forms a screw socket 33 with a thread intended to cooperate by screwing with the external thread 21 of the neck 20.
- the pump or the valve 1 received in the crimping housing 31 can be fixed on the neck 20 of the container by screwing the socket 33 on the threaded neck 20 of the container.
- the metal fixing ring 3 is provided with a plastic ring 4 which is here formed using the screwed socket 33.
- the plastic ring 4 is formed on the socket 33 by a molding technique consisting of to directly mold the plastic ring 4 on the metal fixing ring 3.
- the adhesion of the ring 4 on the sleeve 3 is all the more improved thanks to the molding technique that the ring conforms perfectly to the profile of the corrugated surface of the sleeve.
- the connection between the plastic ring and the fixing ring is therefore undoubtedly free of play.
- the plastic ring 4 is provided on its external periphery with a latching profile 42 which projects outwards.
- a covering band 5 which is here in the form of a simple cylinder, is mounted so as to at least partially mask the dispensing member 1 and the fixing ring provided with its plastic ring
- a snap-fitting profile 52 is provided which projects inwards and which cooperates with the corresponding snap-on profile 42 formed by the plastic ring 4 More precisely, the profile d 'snap 52 of the covering hoop 5 engages below the casing profile 42 of the ring 4 with lower end of the covering hoop 5 bearing on the container 2.
- the covering hoop 5 can be made of a plastic mate ⁇ au ensuring perfect stability on the plastic ring 4 which, for its part, is molded onto the sleeve 33 of the metal fixing ring 3 Thus, the covering band 5 is mounted in a perfectly stable manner.
- the covering band 5 can have any original or aesthetic shape, and can for example be provided with a window 51 in which a nozzle of a pusher 11 mounted on the actuating rod of the pump or of the valve can be positioned.
- the covering hoop 5 is open at its upper end and it then suffices to press the pusher 11 to distribute a jet of sprayed product through the window 51.
