Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a product distributor liquids from a container and more particularly a pump miniature for the delivery, for example, of perfume samples or cosmetics or very low doses of products pharmaceuticals.
  • Miniature distributors like the one described and shown in EP-A-0453357 include in particular a body cylindro-conical containing a metering chamber closed at its part lower by an inlet valve and at its upper part by a piston fitted with an exhaust valve and a spray tube capped by a push button.
  • the piston is usually inserted inside the room through the top opening then pushed down into the chamber, which causes a residual deformation of the edge piston device up.
  • the push button is retained on the dispenser by a simple fitting on the nozzle tube, which does not give it not very stable and that is not enough to keep it in place in accidental loading.
  • the body in traditional distributors, the body must be flexible enough to guarantee a good seal and a good functioning of the valves but it must also be sufficiently rigid to ensure good resistance to temperature and aging, especially in the contact area between the piston and the wall of the room.
  • the invention aims to solve these technical problems in a satisfying manner.
  • said skirt is fitted into said socket.
  • the lower edge of said skirt comes into contact of the internal wall of said socket.
  • said skirt wears a shoulder forming a stop for the upper edge of said sleeve.
  • said skirt carries a projection piston and / or push button retaining radial.
  • the intake valve is carried by the lower element while being provided at the lower part of said socket.
  • said sleeve or said skirt carries a support and fixing flange on the container neck.
  • said collar is provided with members screws or snaps intended to cooperate with members complementary to the container.
  • the dispenser of the invention has a body in two elements produced separately and in independent form and which are intended to be assembled either directly on the manufacturing site, either later on the product packaging site.
  • This principle allows a wider choice of functions, of material and / or different hardnesses respectively for the upper element and the lower element which it now becomes possible to associate in a same distributor, thereby optimizing its performance and in particular the quality of the distribution as well as its reliability.
  • the dispenser shown in Figure 1 includes a body cylindroconical 1 containing a chamber 10 whose volume corresponds here to a dose of liquid product.
  • Chamber 10 is closed at its upper part by a piston 2 provided with an exhaust valve 3 and a nozzle tube 4 capped by a push button 5 cooperating with an external spring 9 mounted coaxially with the tube 4.
  • An internal spring 6 shown in dotted lines, ensures the return of the piston 2 to the high position.
  • the chamber 10 is equipped at its lower part with a intake valve 7 ball capable of communicating via a tube socket 8, with a container (not shown in this figure) containing the liquid product.
  • the product only stays temporarily in room 10.
  • the body 1 consists of two independent elements 1a, 1b intended to be tightly assembled and possibly reversible.
  • the upper element 1a which carries the piston 2 is provided with a cylindrical skirt 12 while the lower element 1b is provided with a sleeve 11 intended to cooperate by radial tightening with the skirt 12 thus delimiting the wall of the chamber 10.
  • the skirt 12 is still fitted into the socket 11 but it is possible according to the invention to provide a symmetrical fitting of the socket 11 in the skirt 12.
  • the lower edge 12b of the skirt 12 preferably comes into contact with the internal wall of the sleeve 11 in the bottom 11b.
  • the final position of the assembly is obtained when the edge upper 11a of the socket 11 is in abutment against a shoulder 12a formed in the upper part of the skirt 12.
  • the internal wall of the skirt 12 carries a radial projection 15 cooperating with a flange 50 integral with the part bottom of the push button 5 to ensure its retention upwards.
  • the projection 15 is made peripherally or so discontinuous and jointly maintains the piston 2 in the chamber 10 in contact with the internal wall of the skirt 12.
  • This arrangement involves the introduction of piston 2 and the push button 5 in the skirt 12 by its lower opening more large diameter.
  • the body 1 is mounted on the neck C of a container.
  • the skirt 12 is equipped with a support flange and fixing 13 extending the shoulder 12a.
  • the flange 13 has a thread 13a cooperating with complementary nets made outside the col C.
  • the collar 13 is provided with members latching 13b intended to cooperate with members complementary to Col C.
  • a cylindrical partition 14 extends interposed towards the bottom from shoulder 12a delimiting a first groove device in which the upper edge of the neck C is engaged and a second groove in which the upper part of the socket 11.
  • the lower part of the socket 11 is here in contact with the wall internal collar C but without radial tightening to allow the screwing of the distributor.
  • the body 1 is fitted into the neck C of the container with tight radial clamping.
  • the socket 11 carries a flange 13 produced here under form of a simple annular transverse wall which is adjusted and locked in abutment between the rim of the neck C and the shoulder 12a of the skirt 12.
  • FIG. 5 represents an alternative embodiment which corresponds to a screwing of the body 1 on the neck C as in the variant of the figure 2.
  • annular seal J is disposed between the rim of the collar C and the collar 13.
  • FIG. 6 represents an alternative embodiment which corresponds to a snap of the body 1 on the neck C as in the variant of the FIG. 3 but here the collar 13 is carried by the sleeve 11.
  • FIG. 7 represents a variant in which the element lower is provided with a sleeve 16 extending the sleeve 11 coaxially downward and coming in tight radial tightness inside neck C, like a cap.
  • the collar 13 is integral here with the socket 11 at the bottom 11b and maintains the body 1 to the outside of the neck C.
  • the sleeve 16 has, for its part, substantially the same diameter as the skirt 12 but extends outside the room 10.
  • the collar 13 will be provided with means for screwing or snap-fastening of the type provided in the variants of Figures 2, 3, 5 and 6 to lock the dispenser on the neck vs.
  • FIG. 8 represents another variant deriving from that of the Figure 7 and in which the sleeve 16 is associated with means latching carried by the lower wall of the socket 11.
  • the diameter of the socket 11 here corresponds substantially to the diameter of the col C. Consequently, the collar 13 consists of a part of the bottom wall 11b of the socket 11. The body 1 is thus arranged in alignment of the C-neck without creating a discontinuity in appearance.
