Definitions

  • the invention relates to a liquid product dispenser and more particularly relates to the field of miniature sprayers designed to contain a low dose of a luxury product such as for example a perfume.
  • a luxury product such as for example a perfume.
  • Such sprayers are mainly intended to be distributed free of charge to customers to make known and appreciate the products they contain.
  • the constant aim is to simplify the structure of the device and lower manufacturing costs. To do this, we try to reduce the number of components and make them easier to manufacture and assemble.
  • a liquid product dispenser comprising a reservoir having a mouth and a pump installed in said mouth.
  • This pump comprises a pump body in which is mounted a piston, which slides in a sealed manner in the pump body to define with it a liquid metering chamber, an inlet valve establishing communication between said metering chamber and the reservoir containing liquid to be sprayed, an exhaust valve establishing communication between said metering chamber and product dispensing means and a spring biasing said piston to a predetermined relaxed position, for which said metering chamber is at its maximum volume .
  • the pump body here has a vent hole.
  • the invention aims in the first place to the removal of this closure piece forming abutment, called the expander.
  • said dispensing means are arranged in liquid spraying means.
  • said annular projection has the shape of a flexible lip.
  • it is a lip returned to the inside of the pump body.
  • the annular abutment of the piston comprises, on one side, a stop face cooperating with the lip and, on the other side, a frustoconical portion participating in the overturning of said lip during the introduction of said piston. in the pump body.
  • said lip may be segmented into several circumferentially adjacent sections.
  • All elements of the pump may be molded plastic except the spring. As will be seen below, this pump comprises a minimum number of moldings and all parts are easy to manufacture by molding and in particular easily demoldable.
  • the bottle may be glass or, preferably, molded plastic.
  • said intake and exhaust valves comprise respectively a plug and a needle defined by a common shutter, movable in axial translation inside the pump body and around which is mounted the spring. It is supported between the pump body and a shoulder of said common shutter. As a result, the piston is biased under the action of the spring towards said released position, via the common shutter, which tends to keep the exhaust valve closed. More specifically, one end of said shutter forms a frustoconical needle which cooperates with the internal orifice of an exhaust duct formed in the piston, to constitute said exhaust valve and the other end of said shutter cooperates with a tube of suction of said pump body, to constitute said intake valve.
  • the suction tube extends in the extension of the metering chamber and immersed in the liquid contained in said reservoir. It came molding with said pump body.
  • the shutter has a plug portion which is adapted to slide sealingly within the suction tube. At least one longitudinal groove is provided on the surface of said plug, which allows the passage of the product in the intake phase. All the elements are advantageously of circular section and axial symmetry.
  • the diameter of the circular contact zone of the internal orifice of the discharge pipe against which the needle is to be carried is less than the internal diameter of the bore of the suction tube, that is to say the external diameter bushel.
  • the shutter has a shoulder for the setting of the return spring.
  • said pump body has an annular upper flange bearing on the edge of the mouth.
  • a separable strip may be provided at the base of a pusher associated with the piston, this strip ensures, before use, the retention of the piston in the low position, which ensures a better seal of the pump (because the valve intake is closed) but also the inviolability and better preservation of the product.
  • the innermost end of the shutter is shaped into a bell capable of capping an end portion of the suction tube which projects at the bottom of the metering chamber and to slide in a sealed manner along the outer surface of this end portion.
  • the suction tube can then advantageously comprise an axial bore of very small diameter favoring the priming of the pump by capillary action.
  • the sprayer shown comprises a reservoir 1 provided with a mouthpiece 10, in which is enclosed a liquid product such as a perfume.
  • the reservoir is cylindrical and the mouth has an internal diameter equal to that of the reservoir.
  • this mouth could also have the shape of a neck more or less shrunk.
  • a precompression pump having a cylindro-conical pump body 2 is mounted on the reservoir; said pump body is installed in the mouth. More specifically, the body 2 is fitted with tight radial clamping in the mouth 10 in the manner of a plug.
  • the pump body has in fact an outer portion 16 forming a stopper alone ensuring the seal between the pump body and said mouth.
  • the pump body 2 has an annular upper flange 21 which bears on the rim of the mouth 10 thus limiting the depression of the body in the tank 1 and adjusting the position of the suction tube 22 inside. of this reservoir, with respect to the level of liquid.
  • the suction tube 22 is a lower extension of the pump body. He came casting with the pump body itself.
  • the pump body 2 encloses a cylindrical piston 3 cooperating by means of a return spring 4 with an intake valve 17 and with an exhaust valve 18. It defines with the wall of the pump body a metering chamber 19 .
  • the piston 3 carries an outer tubular rod 31 extended outwardly by an axial exhaust duct.
  • the discharge duct 30 extends the metering chamber to the outside.
  • the internal volume of the rod 31 is part of the metering chamber.
  • the tubular rod 31 is surmounted by a dispensing head 7 forming a push button which carries an ejection orifice 70.
  • the rod 31 is extended, in the upper part, by a core 33 delimiting in a complementary manner with the inner wall of the head 7, on the one hand an outlet channel 37 fed by the discharge duct 30 and, on the other hand, a vortex swirling system 38 into which the channel 37 opens.
  • the latter extends here to the periphery
  • the piston, the tubular rod 31 and the core form only one molded part, made of plastic.
  • the vortex system 38 is defined on the inner face of the head 7 by molded recesses, closed in contact with the core.
  • the upward abutment of the core 33 inside the head 7 automatically ensures the tight connection between the ducts, the recesses forming channels of the vortex system and the nozzle, without it being necessary to provide an indexing of the parts opposite.
  • the head 7 covering the core 33 has a side skirt 71 provided at its lower end with a detachable peripheral band 6, ensuring its locking in the low position. It should be noted that in this position the inlet valve is closed, which greatly improves the sealing of the pump before its first use.
  • the band 6 is separable from the head by being attached to the skirt 71 by a weakening zone 61 may be broken or detached by traction.
  • the strip 6 is provided with a gripping tab 63.
  • the band 6 carries a continuous or discontinuous internal projection 62 which is engaged with the external wall of the tank 1, by hooking into a retaining element. This is formed of a flange 11 of the tank mouth 1 delimited by a reduction in thickness of the tank wall at the mouth; an annular groove 12 is formed on the body of the reservoir.
  • the pump comprises a shutter 5, common to the intake valve 17 and the exhaust valve 18 since it forms both a valve 51 for the intake valve and a frustoconical needle 52 for the exhaust valve.
  • the common shutter 5 is movable in axial translation inside the pump body 2. It comprises a shoulder 54 against which bears the spring 4. The latter is mounted with initial precompression between the pump body and the shoulder.
  • the pump body 2 is provided with an internal coaxial sleeve 24 defining, on the one hand, with the side wall of the pump body, a cylindrical zone in which the piston 3 is guided and, on the other hand, with the shutter 5 is a central housing for the spring 4.
  • the needle 52 is formed of the frustoconical upper end of the shutter 5. Said needle is urged against the internal orifice of the exhaust duct 30. Outside a period of spraying or in the intake phase, the needle 52 is in sealing contact against the internal orifice of the exhaust duct 30.
  • the plug 51 is formed, meanwhile, of the innermost portion, cylindrical, of the shutter 5 which is able to slide in a sealed manner in the suction tube 22 and more particularly in a short bore 20 defined in the vicinity from the bottom of the dosing chamber.
  • a groove 51a is made longitudinally over a sufficient height of the plug to allow, in the intake phase, the passage of the product by suction in the tank 1.
  • Another embodiment, not shown, is to provide on the same height, an annular necking allowing the passage of the product.
  • the height of the shutter 5 and more particularly that of the plug is such that it occupies, in the depressed position of the piston, almost the entire internal volume of the suction tube 22 leaving only a slight clearance, as shown in FIG. 1.
  • the head is held in the low position by the band 6 against the return forces of the spring 4.
  • the head 7 rises immediately under the effect of the spring 4 and the upward movement of the piston 3, driven by the common shutter, draws the product into the tank 1 via the tube 22; the product enters the metering chamber 19.
  • the piston 3 comprises an annular peripheral abutment 34 intended to come into contact with an annular projection here having the shape of a lip 23 carried by the upper edge of the pump body 2.
  • This lip-forming annular projection is integrally molded with the pump body.
  • the annular abutment 34 cooperates with this lip to define the relaxed position of the piston (and therefore the pushbutton) under the bias of the spring 4.
  • the lip 23 is a deformable lip that can be unfolded outwardly at the demolding to allow the body to be ejected from the mold during manufacture. It is folded inwards thereafter.
  • the lip 23 can be molded substantially in the position it occupies in Figure 1, its flexibility being sufficient for the demolding can take place by force by unfolding outwardly. It then almost resumes its normal position especially at the time of the introduction of the piston.
  • the annular abutment 34 comprises a frustoconical portion 36 involved in the overturning of the lip during the final placement of the piston in the pump body.
  • the annular abutment comprises on one side an abutment face 35 extending radially cooperating with the lip 23 to define the relaxed position and on the other side said frustoconical portion 36 facilitating or confirming the replacement of the lip mounting.
  • the tubular rod 31 which extends between the core and the stop 34 has a larger diameter than the innermost portion of the piston which extends between said stop 34 and its free circular edge 40.
  • This one is slightly flared outward to define a relatively tight contact between the piston and the inner cylindrical wall of the pump body.
  • the radial length of the lip 23 is greater than the radial distance between the inner wall of the pump body 2 and the outer wall of the piston, in the vicinity of the lip (that is to say the outer wall of the said tubular shaft 31).
  • the lip 23a may be segmented to the molding, that is to say formed of a plurality of circumferentially adjacent portions 60, which facilitates its elastic deformation at the establishment of the piston.
  • the pump body is devoid of any vent drilling, as shown in Figures 1 to 3 and 5.
  • the amount of liquid introduced. filling in the tank is significantly less than the capacity of said tank ( Figure 5).
  • the watertightness is total but the reintroduction of air is no longer possible.
  • the pump can nevertheless remain functional in suction even if a slight vacuum is generated inside the tank, because it is capable of generating a vacuum of 500 mbar, for the example described. Incomplete initial filling improves the situation.
  • the maximum vacuum at the end of use will be of the order of 300 mbar and therefore insufficient to prevent the suction of the pump capable of generating a vacuum of 500 mbar.
  • the tank has a capacity of 1.5 ml and therefore contains 0.5 ml of product when it is filled to about one third of its capacity.
  • a vent hole 66 is formed in the wall of the pump body and opens into the metering chamber 19 in the immediate vicinity of the edge 40 of the piston when the latter is in the released position.
  • the position of the piston before the first use is said relaxed position, as shown, so that the seal is provided at the edge 40 of the piston in frictional sealing contact with the inner wall of the pump body.
  • the calibration of the exhaust valve is adjusted by a suitable choice of materials and dimensions of the contact zone between the needle 52 and the lower orifice 32 of the conduit 30, so that it can open once the closed intake valve.
  • the zone of contact between the needle 52 and the edge 32 is circular and its diameter is smaller than the internal diameter of the bore 20 of the body 2, that is to say the diameter of the plug.
  • the pump body 2a includes an outer skirt 76 enveloping an end portion 77 of said tank 1 which includes said mouth.
  • This outer skirt cylindrical, extends axially beyond said mouth to constitute a kind of receptacle 78 in which slides the cylindrical lateral skirt 71 of the head 7.
  • latching means 80 are defined between the skirt and said end portion of said tank. This further improves the mounting of the pump body and makes it indémontable. To improve the aesthetic appearance of the assembly, it is preferable that the tank 1 and the outer skirt 76 of the pump body is in the extension of one another, axially, with no continuity solution to the outside. To do this, the wall of said end portion 77 of the reservoir is thinned to define externally an annular clearance of radial thickness substantially equal to the thickness of said skirt 76.
  • the embodiment of Figure 8 also differs from previous by the structure of the intake valve.
  • the end of the suction tube 22 communicating with the metering chamber 19 protrudes therein, while said other end of said shutter 5 is shaped as a bell 81, here with a cylindrical inner wall capable of styling the end portion 82 projecting into the chamber 19 and itself having a cylindrical portion surmounted by a frustoconical portion.
  • the diameters are adapted to permit leakage of the inner wall of the bell along the outer surface of said end portion.
  • the assembly thus constitutes the intake valve.
  • This embodiment has several advantages. In the first place, the common shutter is easier to manufacture; it is noticeably shorter and the bell fits more easily to the assembly. In addition, it provides a larger surface area for opening the exhaust valve and closing the inlet valve. In other words, the effort to be applied to the push button to open the exhaust valve and cause spraying is less important, all things being equal.
  • the suction tube 22 which is no longer traversed longitudinally by a plug has an axial bore 84 of very small diameter, which promotes the priming of the pump by capillary effect.
  • the pump body does not form the receptacle in which slides the side skirt 71.
  • the mounting of the pump body is in accordance with the embodiment of Figure 1.
  • the reservoir 11 extends beyond the pump body by a thinned cylindrical wall portion 85, which forms the receptacle in which the lateral skirt 71 of the head 7 slides.
  • FIG. 11 is a diagrammatic sectional view of the mold 86 formed of two parts 87, 88 engaged in one another to define between them a cavity having the shape of said pump body 2. Note that during this molding phase, the portion which must constitute the folded lip is molded in the form of a cylindrical ring 89 (possibly segmented) which allows demolding without any constraint. In a second step shown in Figure 12, the cylindrical ring 89 is folded at 90 ° with a tool 90, which initiates the formation of the lip 23.
