Description

L'invention a pour objet un dispositif de distribution de fluide et en particulier de fluide cosmétique.The subject of the invention is a device for dispensing fluid and particular of a cosmetic fluid.

Elle concerne plus particulièrement les dispositifs de distribution de fluide du type à poussoir commandant des moyens de distribution de fluide. Elle vise à éviter tout actionnement accidentel du poussoir risquant notamment de déverser le contenu du flacon dans la trousse de toilette.It concerns more particularly the distribution devices of pusher type fluid controlling fluid dispensing means. It aims to avoid any accidental actuation of the risky pusher especially to pour the contents of the bottle into the toilet bag.

EP-A-0 659 157 décrit un dispositif comprenant :

  • un corps destiné à être fixé sur le col d'un flacon,
  • un poussoir pouvant s'enfoncer par rapport au corps suivant une direction d'actionnement entre une position repos et une position enfoncée, afin de commander des moyens de distribution du fluide,
  • des moyens de verrouillage présentant un état actif dans lequel ils empêchent l'enfoncement du poussoir suivant ladite direction d'actionnement et un état inactif dans lequel ils autorisent ledit enfoncement.
EP-A-0 659 157 discloses a device comprising:
  • a body intended to be fixed on the neck of a bottle,
  • a pusher that can be seated with respect to the body in an actuating direction between a rest position and a depressed position, in order to control fluid distribution means,
  • locking means having an active state in which they prevent depression of the pusher in said direction of operation and an inactive state in which they allow said depression.

Toutefois, les moyens de verrouillage étant constitués par un anneau monté tournant autour du corps suivant la direction d'actionnement pour empêcher l'enfoncement du poussoir par translation suivant cette même direction, il est nécessaire de prévoir une pièce supplémentaire (l'anneau), distincte du poussoir et du corps. En outre, cette pièce supplémentaire doit être visible pour pouvoir être aisément actionnée par l'utilisateur.However, the locking means being constituted by a ring mounted rotating around the body in the direction of actuation for prevent the depression of the pusher by translation according to this same direction, it is necessary to provide an additional piece (the ring), separate from the pusher and the body. In addition, this additional room be visible to be easily operated by the user.

L'invention vise à réduire le surcoût généré par les moyens de verrouillage proposés dans EP-A-0 659 157 pour réaliser le dispositif de distribution et à s'affranchir d'une contrainte esthétique due à la présence de cet anneau.The invention aims to reduce the additional cost generated by the means of proposed in EP-A-0 659 157 to realize the device for distribution and to overcome an aesthetic constraint due to the presence of this ring.

Pour ce faire, l'invention propose que pour amener les moyens de verrouillage de leur état inactif à leur état actif, il faut exercer un effort sur le poussoir suivant la direction d'actionnement, afin de le déplacer par translation par rapport au corps dans le sens opposé à son enfoncement, de la position repos à une position verrouillée. To do this, the invention proposes that to bring the means of their inactive state to their active state, it is necessary to exert an effort on the pushbutton in the direction of actuation, in order to move it by translation in relation to the body in the opposite direction to its depression, the rest position at a locked position.

Le verrouillage étant commandé par le déplacement du poussoir par rapport au corps suivant une translation de même direction (mais de sens opposé) que l'enfoncement du poussoir, pour réaliser le verrouillage il n'est pas nécessaire de prévoir de pièce distincte et la réalisation du corps et du poussoir n'a guère besoin d'être modifiée.The locking being controlled by the movement of the pusher by relation to the body following a translation in the same direction (but of opposite) that the depression of the pusher, to realize the lock it is not no need to provide separate room and the realization of the body and the pusher need hardly be changed.

Par conséquent, la réalisation et le montage du dispositif sont simplifiés, de sorte que son coût de revient est réduit.Therefore, the realization and the assembly of the device are simplified, so that its cost price is reduced.

En outre, l'utilisateur n'a que deux pièces (le poussoir et le corps) à déplacer relativement l'une à l'autre et suivant une seule direction. L'utilisation du dispositif s'en trouve donc simplifiée et le nombre de pièces visibles est réduit.In addition, the user has only two pieces (the pusher and the body) to move relative to each other and in one direction. The use of the device is thus simplified and the number of parts visible is reduced.

Une solution simple proposée par l'invention consiste en ce que les moyens de verrouillage comprennent un bossage et une barrette liés pour l'un au corps et pour l'autre au poussoir, ladite barette et/ou ledit bossage se déformant élastiquement lorsque les moyens de verrouillage passent de la position active à la position inactive et inversement..A simple solution proposed by the invention is that the locking means comprise a boss and a linked bar for one to the body and the other to the pusher, said barette and / or said boss is elastically deforming when the locking means pass from the active position in the inactive position and vice versa.

Ces moyens sont relativement peu onéreux et permette à l'utilisateur de ressentir un cran qu'il peut passer en exerçant un effort lorsqu'il souhaite faire passer les moyens de verrouillage de la position active à la position inactive.These means are relatively inexpensive and allow the user to feel a notch that he can pass by exerting an effort when he wishes to move the locking means from the active position to the position inactive.

Pour plus de sûreté et éviter que le fluide ne soit déversé, même si le bouton est soumis accidentellement à cet effort, l'invention propose que :

  • le corps et le poussoir ménagent entre eux une fente lorsque le poussoir est en position verrouillée, laquelle fente étant sensiblement réduite lorsque le poussoir n'est pas en position verrouillée,
  • les moyens de verrouillage comprennent au moins une patte élastiquement déformable formant butée lorsque le poussoir est en position verrouillée, en s'insérant entre le corps et le poussoir,
  • ladite patte est contrainte lorsque le poussoir n'est pas en position verrouillée, de sorte la patte s'insère automatiquement dans ladite fente, par retour élastique, lorsque le poussoir est amené en position verrouillée.
For greater safety and to prevent the fluid from being spilled, even if the button is accidentally subjected to this effort, the invention proposes that:
  • the body and the pusher form between them a slot when the pusher is in the locked position, which slot is substantially reduced when the pusher is not in the locked position,
  • the locking means comprise at least one elastically deformable tab forming a stop when the pusher is in the locked position, by being inserted between the body and the pusher,
  • said tab is constrained when the pusher is not in the locked position, so that the lug automatically engages said slot, by springback, when the pusher is brought into the locked position.

Ainsi, on obtient un verrouillage automatique par obstacle du poussoir et il ne peut être déverrouillé qu'en agissant sur ladite patte.Thus, we obtain an automatic locking by obstacle of the pusher and it can be unlocked only by acting on said paw.

De préférence, pour réduire encore le coût du dispositif, la patte élastiquement déformable est obtenue de matière avec le corps.Preferably, to further reduce the cost of the device, the tab elastically deformable is obtained from matter with the body.

En outre, pour améliorer la robustesse du dispositif, les moyens de verrouillage comprennent avantageusement deux pattes élastiquement déformables.In addition, to improve the robustness of the device, the means of lock advantageously comprise two elastically elastic tabs deformable.

L'invention va apparaítre encore plus clairement dans la description qui va suivre, faite en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective éclatée de l'ensemble,
  • la figure 2 est une vue en coupe médiane du dispositif de distribution, conformément à la ligne repérée II-II à la figure 5, poussoir en position repos,

  • la figure 7 est une vue en perspective de l'élément intérieur et du poussoir seuls, le poussoir étant en position déverrouillée,
  • la figure 8 est une vue conformément à la figure 7, le poussoir étant en position enfoncée.
The invention will become more clearly apparent in the description which follows, made with reference to the appended drawings in which:
  • FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of the assembly,
  • FIG. 2 is a view in median section of the dispensing device, according to the line marked II-II in FIG. 5, pusher in the rest position,
  • FIG. 3 is a view of the dispensing device according to FIG. 2, pusher in locked position,

  • FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the body,
  • FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the inner element and the pusher alone, the pusher being in the unlocked position,
  • Figure 8 is a view according to Figure 7, the pusher being in the depressed position.

Les figures illustrent un ensemble 1 comprenant un flacon 2 muni d'un dispositif de distribution 4 de fluide, en particulier de fluide cosmétique.The figures illustrate an assembly 1 comprising a bottle 2 provided with of a device 4 for dispensing fluid, in particular fluid cosmetic.

Le dispositif de distribution 4 est fixé sur le col du flacon 2 et comprend essentiellement un corps 7, une pompe 8 formant moyens de distribution de fluide, une tête de distribution 10 munie d'une tige souple 11, un poussoir 12 (constitué ici de deux parties 12a, 12b) et des moyens de verrouillage 20. Le corps 7 comporte une coque 14 et un élément intérieur 6 maintenus ensemble par l'intermédiaire de moyens d'encliquetage 32.The dispensing device 4 is fixed on the neck of the bottle 2 and essentially comprises a body 7, a pump 8 forming means of fluid distribution, a dispensing head 10 provided with a flexible rod 11, a pusher 12 (here consisting of two parts 12a, 12b) and means of 20. The body 7 comprises a shell 14 and an inner element 6 held together by means of latching means 32.

De manière classique, afin d'obtenir du produit, l'utilisateur appuie sur le poussoir 12, suivant une direction d'actionnement 16 à partir de la position repos, relâchée. Le poussoir 12 s'enfonce alors dans la coque 14 et déplace la tête de distribution 10 suivant la direction d'actionnement 16, tel qu'illustré à la figure 4. Du fait du déplacement de la tête de distribution 10, la pompe 8 est actionnée, délivrant ainsi le produit cosmétique.Conventionally, in order to obtain the product, the user supports on the pusher 12, in an actuating direction 16 from the rest position, relaxed. The pusher 12 then sinks into the shell 14 and moves the dispensing head 10 in the actuating direction 16, as as shown in FIG. 4. Due to the displacement of the dispensing head 10, the pump 8 is actuated, thus delivering the cosmetic product.

Lorsque l'utilisateur relâche la pression sur le poussoir 12, sous l'action de deux lames élastiques 18, le poussoir 12 et la tête de distribution 10 sont ramenés dans la position repos illustrée aux figures 2,5 et 7.When the user releases the pressure on the pusher 12, the action of two elastic blades 18, the pusher 12 and the dispensing head 10 are returned to the rest position illustrated in FIGS.

Les moyens de verrouillage 20 sont destinés à éviter le déversement inopiné de produit cosmétique. Ils comprennent deux pattes élastiques 24 obtenues de matière avec l'élément intérieur 6 et présentent un état actif correspondant à la position verrouillée du poussoir et un état inactif correspondant aux autres positions du poussoir. Pour activer les moyens de verrouillage, à partir de la position repos du poussoir, l'utilisateur tire sur le poussoir 12, autrement dit il agit sur le poussoir pour le déplacer suivant la direction d'actionnement 16 dans le sens opposé à celui provoquant la distribution de produit.The locking means 20 are intended to prevent the spill unannounced cosmetic product. They include two elastic tabs 24 made of material with the inner element 6 and have an active state corresponding to the locked position of the pusher and an inactive state corresponding to other positions of the pusher. To activate the means of locking, from the rest position of the pusher, the user pulls on the pushbutton 12, in other words it acts on the pusher to move it according to the direction of actuation 16 in the opposite direction to that causing the product distribution.

Deux espaces, définissant chacun une fente 22, se créent alors entre la coque 14 et le poussoir 12, dans lesquels s'insèrent des pattes élastiques qui étaient précontraintes 24. Lesdites fentes 22 étant alors obturées par les pattes élastiques 24 par l'intermédiaire de leur extrémité libre 26, il n'est pas possible de les refermer simplement en déplaçant le poussoir par rapport à la coque en sens inverse, autrement dit uniquement en appuyant sur le poussoir 12. Le poussoir 12 se trouve alors dans la position verrouillée illustrée à la figure 3.Two spaces, each defining a slot 22, are created between the shell 14 and the pusher 12, in which are inserted elastic legs which were prestressed 24. Said slots 22 are then closed by the legs elastics 24 via their free end 26, it is not possible to close them simply by moving the pusher relative to the shell in the opposite direction, ie only by pressing the 12. The pusher 12 is then in the locked position illustrated in Figure 3.

Pour déverrouiller le poussoir 12, il faut pousser à l'extrémité 26 des pattes élastiques 24, tel qu'indiqué par les flèches repérées 34 à la figure 3, afin de dégager les fentes 22 et simultanément presser sur le poussoir 12.To unlock the pusher 12, it is necessary to push at the end 26 of elastic tabs 24, as indicated by the arrows marked 34 in FIG. 3, to clear the slots 22 and simultaneously press on the pusher 12.

Afin d'éviter que le dispositif de distribution 10 ne passe en position verrouillée de manière inopinée, le poussoir est muni de quatre bossages 28 venant chacun au contact d'une barrette élastique 30 appartenant à l'élément intérieur 6 et s'étendant transversalement à la direction d'actionnement 16. Ainsi, pour placer le dispositif de distribution 10 en position verrouillée à partir de la position repos ou inversement, il faut vaincre la résistance élastique des barrettes élastiques 30 due à leur déformation élastique lors du passage des bossages 28.In order to prevent the dispensing device 10 from moving into position locked unexpectedly, the pusher is provided with four bosses 28 each coming into contact with an elastic strip 30 belonging to the element 6 and extending transversely to the actuating direction 16. Thus, to place the dispensing device 10 in the locked position to from the rest position or vice versa, you have to overcome the resistance elastic bars 30 due to their elastic deformation during the passage of bosses 28.

L'invention présente en outre l'avantage d'obtenir le verrouillage de l'ensemble 1 en position de non-distribution sans ajouter de pièce, puisque les pattes élastiques 24 sont intégrées à l'élément intérieur 6.The invention also has the advantage of obtaining the locking of the assembly 1 in the non-dispensing position without adding a part, since the elastic tabs 24 are integrated with the inner element 6.
