Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for the selective distribution of different liquid products.
  • the invention relates to the selective distribution of different products, separately or together from a single packaging set to several independent tanks.
  • Known dispensers generally comprise a reservoir equipped in particular with a device for sampling the product, of the pump or valve type, provided with a spray head that can be actuated by manual support.
  • the present invention aims to solve these technical problems satisfactorily.
  • each reservoir comprises a locking rod extending inside said housing and whose free end forms a stop for the locking key.
  • the locking key consists of a rotary shaft extended longitudinally by an adjustment knob and radially by lugs whose lateral edge is capable of coming, by rotation of said axis, in contact with the locking rod of the one or more of said tanks simultaneously.
  • each reservoir comprises at least one guide cavity in which is housed a return spring and which is intended to slidably receive a projecting positioning element carried by another reservoir.
  • said heads are carried by a transverse wall forming a spacer for the tanks.
  • said locking key is mounted in a cutout of said transverse wall.
  • said dispensing heads are connected to ejection ducts opening into at least one nozzle carried by said housing.
  • the walls of the reservoirs adjacent to the housing comprise a peripheral zone of fitting in sliding contact with the inner wall of the housing.
  • the tanks comprise flanges in which the sampling members are fixed.
  • the central housing is disposed between two respectively lower and upper pushing tanks.
  • the upper reservoir has a neck longer than the collar of the lower reservoir so as to allow the operation of its sampling member in the inverted position.
  • said locking key comprises three pins, two of which are diametrically opposed and two are adjacent.
  • the two adjacent lugs have substantially equal thicknesses which correspond to half the thickness of the opposite lug.
  • the two adjacent pins delimit in the vicinity of the axis a slot allowing the radial displacement of the end of one of the locking rods.
  • the device of the invention makes it possible to ensure simple and effective programming and the implementation of various modes of distribution.
  • the device of the invention has a symmetrical exterior appearance and therefore particularly aesthetic where the tanks ergonomically perform a dual function of container and actuation in the manner of a push-button.
  • the device shown in the figures is intended to ensure the selective distribution of different liquid products from a single package.
  • This conditioning comprises a plurality of independent reservoirs which, in the embodiments shown and described below, will be limited to two tanks respectively greater than R 1 and lower than R 2 .
  • the lower tank R 2 serves as a basis for conditioning.
  • the device of the invention could also be applied to a package comprising more than two tanks.
  • Each of the tanks R 1 , R 2 carries a member for sampling the product it contains.
  • This sampling member is constituted by a traditional pump with precompression P 1 , P 2 .
  • the pumps P 1 , P 2 are provided with a nozzle tube, the inner end of the pump body (not shown) is associated with a piston for putting the product under pressure and resiliently biased upwards by a spring.
  • Each pump is therefore actuated by manual support on the nozzle tube via a dispensing head capping said tube.
  • the tanks R 1 , R 2 comprise flanges C 1 , C 2 in which the bodies of the pumps P 1 , P 2 are fixed.
  • the upper tank R 1 has a flange C 1 longer than the collar C 2 of the lower tank R 2 to allow the operation of the pump P 1 in the inverted position.
  • the device of the invention comprises a central housing 1 supporting the tanks R 1 , R 2 peripherally and movably relative to the distribution heads 11, 12 associated which are, for their part, integral with the housing 1 being carried by a wall Transverse 13 forming spacer for the tanks.
  • the heads 11, 12 are connected, moreover, to ejection ducts 110, 120 opening into at least one spray nozzle 3 mounted on the wall of the casing 1.
  • the bodies of the pumps P 1 , P 2 being fixed relative to the tanks R 1 , R 2 , the displacement of one of said tanks, for example R 1 , towards the inside of the housing 1 by manual support on the bottom F 1 , forming a pusher, results in the depression of the nozzle tube in abutment against the head 11 and causes the pressurization and ejection of the dose of product I contained in the body of the pump P 1 .
  • the device of the invention further comprises a key 2 for selectively locking the tanks R 1 , R 2 in a fixed position relative to the distribution heads 11, 12.
  • Each tank R 1 , R 2 comprises a locking rod T 1 , T 2 extending inside the housing 1 and whose free end forms a stop for the locking key 2.
  • the key 2 consists of a rotary axis 20 extended longitudinally by an adjusting knob 21 and radially by means of pins 22 whose side edge is likely to come, by rotation of the axis 20, in contact with the rod T 1 , T 2 blocking one or more tanks R 1 , R 2 simultaneously.
  • the axis 20 is mounted in a cutout 10 of the transverse wall 13 for supporting the distribution heads 11, 12, while the axis 20 is housed through an opening 14 made in the side wall 1a of the housing 1.
  • Each tank R 1 , R 2 comprises at least one cavity K 1 , K 2 produced here in the form of a cylindrical sleeve, in which is housed a return spring S 1 , S 2 .
  • Each of the cavities K 1 , K 2 is intended to receive, slidably, a protruding element A 1 , A 2 of suitable dimensions, carried by the other tank opposite.
  • the cooperation between the cavities K 1 , K 2 and the elements A 1 , A 2 ensures the positioning and guiding of the tanks R 1 , R 2 on the one hand between them and relative to the central housing 1 on the other hand.
  • the walls of the tanks R 1 , R 2 adjacent to the housing 1 comprise a peripheral zone r 1 , r 2 fitted without radial clamping, in the housing 1 and coming into sliding contact with the inner wall of the housing during their movements.
  • the zone r 1 , r 2 delimits, with the outer part of the tank R 1 , R 2 , all around its periphery, a shoulder forming a stop.
  • the device of the invention is shown in the rest position on the Figures 2A , 2B and 2C .
  • the key 2 locks the locking rods T 1 , T 2 of the two tanks R 1 , R 2 , thus preventing them from being broken up.
  • the locking key 2 here comprises three pins 22a, 22b, 22c.
  • the two lugs 22a, 22c are diametrically opposed with respect to the axis 20.
  • the two adjacent lugs 22b, 22c that is to say those whose relative angular distance a is the smallest, have substantially equal thicknesses e which correspond at least to the thickness of the locking rods T 1 , T 2 so as to have an abutment face providing a stable bearing contact.
  • the third lug 22a for its part, has a thickness twice that of the opposite lugs 22b, 22c so as to maintain a stop face in contact with the rod T 1 despite a rotation of the axis 20 of a corresponding angle a at the angular spacing between the two adjacent pins 22b, 22c.
  • the two adjacent pins 22b, 22c delimit between them in the vicinity of the axis 20 a slot 23 allowing, by its dimensions, the radial displacement of the end of one of the locking rods and in this case the rod T 2 (see figure 3B ).
  • the respective bases of the lug 22a and the lug 22b have a facet 24 recessed while allowing the passage of the ends of the rods T 1 and T 2 and thus limiting the rotation of the key 2.
  • the amplitude of the angular displacement of the key 2 between the respective positions of the Figures 2B and 5B is about 90 °.
  • the key 2 is positioned to allow the distribution of the only product II.
  • the programming is done manually by turning the knob 21 and coinciding the arrow mark 21a with the indication of the desired distribution mode.
  • the support on the bottom F 2 of the tank R 2 of product II thus causes the actuation of the pump P 2 which then delivers into the dispensing head 12.
  • button 21 programs the distribution of the only product I.
  • button 21 programs the joint distribution and, where appropriate, simultaneous two products 1 and II.
  • the two rods T 1 , T 2 are free to move radially towards the axis 20.
