Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for packaging and dispensing under pressure, in particular in spray form, a fluid product. More particularly, the invention relates preferably to a miniature sprayer, preferably disposable, suitable for packaging in the form of a sample of cosmetic products, especially perfumes.
  • the product is preferably liquid.
  • the document US 3940030 describes a device for packaging and dispensing a liquid in spray form.
  • the liquid is contained in a container provided with a follower piston.
  • the distribution is obtained by means of a pump.
  • the samples are not generally intended for sale, their manufacturing cost must be as low as possible. It is therefore important to have devices whose parts are easily achievable in large series and whose assembly can be performed in a simple manner. In addition, they must be able to generate a spray whose quality is as good as possible, and whose characteristics are as constant as possible.
  • the miniature pump like any pump fitted to larger containers, comprises a pump body inside which a movable piston moves between a first position in which the pump body is of maximum volume and a second position in which the volume of the pump body is minimal.
  • the pump body is in selective communication with the container via a dip tube and an intake valve, in particular in the form of a ball.
  • the inlet valve is closed.
  • an outlet valve located upstream of the dispensing orifice, is opened under the pressure of the product.
  • the product is distributed in powdered form.
  • the piston When the user releases the pressure exerted on the actuating member, the piston, under the effect of a spring, rises in the first position by creating a vacuum inside the pump body.
  • the intake valve is opened under the effect of the depression prevailing inside the pump body, and the outlet valve is closed.
  • a volume of air corresponding to the volume of product transferred from the container to the pump body, enters the container via a suitable vent port.
  • This miniature container system equipped with a pump also miniature, although satisfactory from the point of view of simplicity of use for the consumer, and from the point of view of the quality of the spray obtained, suffers from a major drawback related to its cost and the complexity of handling and assembling the components of small dimensions that compose it.
  • a packaging and dispensing assembly particularly adapted to the packaging and dispensing under pressure of sample doses of a product, in particular a cosmetic product, which solves in all or part of the disadvantages discussed above, with reference to conventional devices.
  • the volume of product dispensed is compensated either by a decrease in volume of the container.
  • the bottom is non-fixed axial position, and rises after each actuation, a rack-type non-return mechanism preventing it from moving back when the movable member passes from the first position to the second.
  • the volume of product dispensed is replaced by a corresponding volume of air, which enters said volume during the return of the actuating member from the second position to the first.
  • the air inlet is in the portion of the container external to the pumping chamber.
  • Such a set can be made with a minimum number of pieces, which number, as we will see in more detail later can be up to two. In conventional systems, the number of pieces can be up to 10.
  • the value of the minimum volume remaining between the piston and the fixed bottom, when the piston is in its lowest position determines the number of sprays that can be generated with the assembly according to the invention.
  • the movable member comprises a lip adapted to be applied sealingly against an internal surface of the container during the passage of the movable member from the first position to the second, said inner surface being configured so that on at least a portion of the return movement of the movable member from the second position to the first, said lip is not in sealing contact with said inner surface. It is precisely during this period when the lip is not in sealing contact with the inner surface of the container that the entry of air into the variable volume occurs.
  • the lip is subjected to an increasing elastic stress towards the second position.
  • the piston when the user releases the pressure exerted on the actuating surface, the piston, under the effect of a spring, rises axially in the opposite direction to that of the bottom of the container. Simultaneously with this upward movement, the lip of the piston, as and when the radial elastic stress to which it is subjected, decreases, tends to deviate radially from the axis so as to remain in engagement with the inner surface of the container.
  • this radial movement due to the inertia of the material forming the lip of the piston, and the slight depression that is created when initiating the upward movement, is slower than the abrupt movement back. As a result, air has time to enter the variable volume before the lip reseals against the inner surface of the container.
  • the inner surface is of circular cross section, the lip being annular, the distance between a longitudinal axis of the assembly and said inner surface increasing, preferably progressively, in the direction of the return movement of the second position towards the first one.
  • the radial movement to which reference has been made is allowed by the gradual increase of the distance separating the free edge of the lip from the inner surface of the container.
  • the movable member may be obtained by molding with the actuating member.
  • the elastic return means may be obtained by molding with the actuating member, with the body of the container, or with both.
  • the spring is separated from the body of the container makes it possible to achieve the assembly by using a first material for the spring, having the required elastic properties, and a second material for the body, compatible with the decoration or the inscriptions that the one can wish to even appear on the body of the container.

  • the actuating surface may be curved and be edged annularly with a portion of smaller thickness, so as to allow a reversal of the profile of the actuating surface when the rest of the actuating member is immobilized axially.
  • the second position of the movable member may be determined by the engagement of a lower end of the movable member with the bottom of the container, or with any other stop encountered by the movable member or by any other element to which the mobile member is coupled.
