Abstract

A handle device for manually grasping an airless dispenser of the type including a drawing-off member provided with a dispensing head and fitted to a flexible pouch by means of a cylindrical fitting, wherein, at the top of the fitting, under the head, the fitting is provided with a set of fins whose bottom faces serve to receive and to be pressed by the fingers of the user.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de préhension pour un distributeur de produit liquide à poche souple.The present invention relates to a gripping device for a dispenser of liquid product with a flexible bag.

Les distributeurs de ce type comprennent généralement un organe de prélèvement tel qu'une pompe sans reprise d'air, pourvu d'une tête de distribution et qui est monté sur la poche au moyen d'un raccord cylindrique.Distributors of this type generally include a sampling member such as a pump without air intake, provided with a dispensing head and mounted on the pocket by means of a cylindrical connector.

Cependant, avec de tels distributeurs, la prise manuelle de la poche crée une déformation qui s'accompagne d'une surpression interne. Or, cette compression entraíne une ouverture forcée du clapet d'admission de la pompe ce qui perturbe la distribution en provoquant un surdosage.However, with such dispensers, the manual gripping of the pocket creates a deformation which is accompanied by an internal overpressure. However, this compression results in a forced opening of the inlet valve of the pump which disturbs the distribution in causing an overdose.

Le WO 01 53003 décrit un dispositif de préhension pour un tel distributeur, dans lequel le raccord cylindrique comporte, en partie supérieure, sous le niveau de la tête, un jeu d'ailettes s'étendant latéralement et dont les faces inférieures sont destinées à recevoir l'appui des doigts de l'utilisateur, les ailettes se rejoignant autour de la partie centrale du raccord en formant un épaulement.WO 01 53003 discloses a gripping device for such a dispenser, in which the cylindrical connector has, in the upper part, below the level of the head, a set fins extending laterally and whose lower faces are intended to receive the support the fingers of the user, the fins joining around the central part of the connector forming a shoulder.

Cependant, avec ce dispositif l'épaulement n'offre aucun moyen, de suspension de la poche. En outre, il existe une discontinuité de profil entre la face supérieure des ailettes et le bord inférieur de la bague de fixation de la pompe du distributeur.However, with this device the shoulder offers no way, of suspending the poached. In addition, there is a discontinuity of profile between the upper face of the fins and the lower edge of the distributor ring of the dispenser pump.

La présente invention a pour but de résoudre ce problème technique en évitant notamment à l'utilisateur tout appui manuel sur la poche.The present invention aims to solve this technical problem by avoiding especially to the user any manual support on the pocket.

Ce but est atteint selon l'invention au moyen d'un dispositif de préhension caractérisé. en ce que la section des ailettes et l'épaulement délimitent un bord saillant périphérique dont l'épaisseur permet la suspension de la poche au remplissage et/ou la fixation d'un boítier externe dans lequel serait enfermée la poche, lesdites ailettes délimitant sur leur bord intérieur une cavité centrale dans laquelle vient se loger une collerette de verrouillage de l'organe de prélèvement qui se prolonge transversalement par un collet s'étendant de façon affleurante avec le bord intérieur des ailettes. This object is achieved according to the invention by means of a gripping device characterized. in that the section of the fins and the shoulder delimit a peripheral salient edge of which the thickness allows the suspension of the pocket to the filling and / or the fixing of a housing in which the pocket is enclosed, said fins delimiting on their inner edge a central cavity in which is housed a locking collar of the body of sampling which extends transversely by a collar extending flush with the inner edge of the fins.

Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, le jeu d'ailettes comprend deux ailettes latérales identiques et diamétralement opposées.According to a particular embodiment, the set of fins comprises two fins identical and diametrically opposite sides.

Selon une caractéristique avantageuse, la face inférieure des ailettes a un profil ergonomique épousant la forme des doigts.According to an advantageous characteristic, the lower face of the fins has a profile ergonomic fit the shape of the fingers.

Selon une autre caractéristique, les ailette sont réalisées, au moins sur leur pourtour, avec une matière plastique élastiquement déformable.According to another characteristic, the fins are made, at least on their periphery, with an elastically deformable plastic material.

Selon encore une autre caractéristique, la section des ailettes délimite un bord saillant permettant la suspension de la poche et/ou la fixation d'un boítier externe.According to yet another characteristic, the section of the fins delimits a projecting edge allowing the suspension of the pocket and / or the fixing of an outer housing.

Selon une variante de réalisation lesdites ailettes est supérieure au diamètre extérieur du raccord de façon à former un épaulement de liaison.According to an alternative embodiment said fins is greater than the outside diameter of the connector so as to form a connecting shoulder.

Selon une autre variante, ladite collerette est tronconique et le collet est évasé pour supprimer toute discontinuité de profil.According to another variant, said collar is frustoconical and the collar is flared to remove any profile discontinuities.

De préférence, la face inférieure desdites ailettes est reliée à la paroi latérale du raccord par un congé.Preferably, the underside of said fins is connected to the side wall of the connection by leave.

Le dispositif de la présente invention offre, d'une part, une prise manuelle confortable du distributeur sans exercer de contrainte sur la poche susceptible de gêner le fonctionnement de la pompe et facilite, d'autre part, l'appui avec l'index sur la tête de distribution.The device of the present invention provides, on the one hand, a comfortable manual grip of the dispenser without exerting stress on the pocket likely to interfere with the operation of the pump and facilitates, on the other hand, support with the index on the dispensing head.

Le dispositif de l'invention est particulièrement ergonomique et s'adapte à différentes tailles et formes de doigts, ce qui offre une grande souplesse d'utilisation.The device of the invention is particularly ergonomic and adapts to different sizes and shapes of fingers, which offers a great flexibility of use.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui va suivre en référence aux dessins annexés sur lesquels.

  • La figure 1 représente une vue en coupe partielle d'un distributeur équipé d'un mode de réalisation du dispositif de l'invention.
  • La figure 2 représente une vue extérieure de profil du distributeur de la figure 1.
  • La figure 3 représente une vue en perspective du dispositif de l'invention associé à un organe de prélèvement
  • Les figures 4A et 4B illustrent le mode de préhension du distributeur des figures 1 et 2 équipé du dispositif de l'invention, respectivement en phase de repos et en phase de pulvérisation.
    • The invention will be better understood on reading the description which follows with reference to the accompanying drawings in which.
  • Figure 1 shows a partial sectional view of a dispenser equipped with an embodiment of the device of the invention.
  • FIG. 2 represents an external profile view of the dispenser of FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 3 represents a perspective view of the device of the invention associated with a sampling member
  • FIGS. 4A and 4B illustrate the gripping mode of the dispenser of FIGS. 1 and 2 equipped with the device of the invention, in the rest phase and in the spraying phase, respectively.

    • Le distributeur représenté sur la figure 1 comprend un organe de prélèvement P tel qu'une pompe sans reprise d'air pourvue d'une tête de pulvérisation T formant bouton-poussoir et munie d'une buse b.The distributor shown in FIG. 1 comprises a sampling member P such that a pump without air intake provided with a spraying head T forming a push-button and provided with a nozzle b.

    La pompe P est montée sur une poche souple R formant réservoir de produit liquide, au moyen d'un raccord cylindrique étanche 1.The pump P is mounted on a flexible bag R forming a reservoir of liquid product, by means of a sealed cylindrical connector 1.

    Le distributeur comporte ici, en outre, une collerette C de verrouillage du corps de pompe dans le raccord 1. La pompe P conserve toutefois une liberté de rotation dans le raccord 1. The dispenser further includes a collar C for locking the body of pump P 1. However, the pump P retains a freedom of rotation in the fitting 1.

    Le raccord 1 comporte, en partie inférieure, une douille 11 pourvue de nervures périphériques 10 destinées au scellage de la poche R.The connection 1 comprises, in the lower part, a bushing 11 provided with peripheral ribs 10 for sealing the pocket R.

    En partie supérieure, sous le niveau de la tête T, le raccord 1 comporte un jeu d'ailettes 12 dont les faces inférieures sont aptes et destinées à recevoir l'appui des doigts de l'utilisateur en particulier lors de l'actionnement manuel de la tête T.In the upper part, below the level of the head T, the connection 1 has a set of fins 12 whose lower faces are suitable and intended to receive the support of the fingers of the user especially during manual actuation of the T-head

    Dans le mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures, le jeu d'ailettes comprend deux ailettes latérales identiques 12a, 12b, diamétralement opposées par rapport à l'axe du distributeur (voir figures 4A et 4B).In the embodiment shown in the figures, the game of fins comprises two identical lateral wings 12a, 12b, diametrically opposite to the axis of the distributor (see figures 4A and 4B).

    A cet effet, la face inférieure des ailettes 12 a un profil ergonomique épousant la forme des doigts. En particulier, la face inférieure des ailettes 12 est reliée à la paroi latérale du raccord 1 par un congé 14 dont le profil est adapté à la configuration du pouce et du majeur.For this purpose, the underside of the fins 12 has a profile ergonomic fit the shape of the fingers. In particular, the face lower fins 12 is connected to the side wall of the connector 1 by a leave 14 whose profile is adapted to the configuration of the thumb and the major.

    Ainsi, lors de la prise du distributeur, les doigts de l'utilisateur viennent se positionner et se caler de façon naturelle entre la douille 11 et les ailettes 12 comme représenté sur la figure 4A, sans contact avec une zone déformable de la poche souple R.So when taking the dispenser, the fingers of the user come and position themselves in a natural way between the sleeve 11 and the fins 12 as shown in Figure 4A, without contact with a deformable zone of the flexible pocket R.

    De préférence, les ailettes 12 sont réalisées, au moins sur leur pourtour, avec une matière plastique élastiquement déformable de façon à l'adapter à différentes tailles et formes de doigts.Preferably, the fins 12 are made, at least on their around, with a plastic material elastically deformable so to adapt it to different sizes and shapes of fingers.

    La plus grande largeur des ailettes est ici supérieure au diamètre extérieur du raccord. Les ailettes 12a, 12b se rejoignent donc autour de la partie centrale du raccord 1 en formant un épaulement de liaison 13. Le bord intérieur des ailettes 12 délimitent ainsi une cavité centrale dans laquelle vient se loger la collerette C de verrouillage.The greatest width of the fins is here greater than outer diameter of the fitting. The fins 12a, 12b are joined therefore around the central part of the connection 1 forming a shoulder of connection 13. The inner edge of the fins 12 thus delimit a cavity central in which is housed the flange C locking.

    La collerette C se prolonge ici transversalement par un collet D s'étendant de façon affleurante avec le bord intérieur des ailettes 12a, 12b.The flange C extends here transversely by a collar D extending flush with the inner edge of the fins 12a, 12b.

    Dans la variante des figures 4A et 4B, la collerette C est tronconique et le collet D est évasé pour supprimer toute discontinuité de profil entre la collerette C et les ailettes 12.In the variant of FIGS. 4A and 4B, the flange C is frustoconical and collar D is flared to remove any discontinuity of profile between the flange C and the fins 12.

    La matière constitutive de la collerette C étant rigide, il est alors possible, et en particulier dans cette dernière variante, de réaliser les ailettes entièrement en matière élastomère.Since the constituent material of the collar C is rigid, it is then possible, and in particular in this last variant, to realize the fins entirely made of elastomeric material.

    La section des ailettes 12 et de l'épaulement 13 délimite un bord saillant d'épaisseur e (voir figure 2) permettant la suspension la poche R lors de son remplissage en phase de conditionnement du produit et/ou la fixation d'un boítier externe (non représenté) dans lequel serait enfermé la poche R.The section of the fins 12 and the shoulder 13 delimits a protruding edge thickness e (see Figure 2) allowing the suspension the bag R when filling in the product packaging phase and / or the fixing of an external housing (not shown) in which would be locked the R pocket.
