Definitions

  • the present invention relates to dispensing and dispensing devices packaging of a product, especially cosmetic, including care.
  • a pump for dispensing the product in the form of a spray.
  • the pump has a push button with a nozzle.
  • a cap is attached to the bottle to cover the push button.
  • the disadvantage of such a cap is that it constitutes an additional piece susceptible to go astray and requires the user to remove it and put it back in place with each use.
  • push button should be understood in a broad sense and encompasses various forms of actuators on which the user can press for cause the distribution of a dose of product.
  • spring should also be understood in a broad sense, and encompasses parts whose possibility of elastic deformation is relatively low.
  • the protruding part of the spring reduces the risk of sinking accidental push button.
  • the possibility of elastic deformation of the spring facilitates its mounting on the fixed part and confers a certain mechanical resistance to the part protruding.
  • the spring can be arranged to allow its removable attachment to the fixed part, allowing the user to replace it with a cap or reuse it on another bottle.
  • the spring can be arranged so that the tightening of the part mounting on the fixed part is sufficient to prevent disassembly of the spring by a user exerting traction on the protruding part.
  • the projecting portion extends over a length that is greater than that of the push button, so as to overtake above of it.
  • the mounting portion may include a plurality of turns, which may to be joined or not, according to for example the aesthetic effect that is sought.
  • the turns may have a circular shape when viewed from above or other, in particular oval or elliptical, or even substantially polygonal.
  • the shape of turns may be chosen according to aesthetic considerations in particular.
  • the spring can be made with a wire which can be metallic, especially in spring steel, of circular cross section or other, in particular square or rectangular, depending again, if any, of the desired appearance.
  • the mounting portion may include a plurality of turns which may present all the same section in top view or different sections, especially different diameters in the case of circular turns.
  • a circular spiral shape can allow the mounting part to rotate relative to the fixed part, in order to allow for example the user to orient the projecting portion relative to a nozzle of product distribution, present on the push button.
  • the spring, especially the part of mounting may have no purely helical winding.
  • the mounting part may have a succession of turns whose diameter, starting from one end of the mounting part and going to the other end of the part of assembly, varies through a single extremum, this extreme being for example a minimum or a maximum.
  • the mounting part may comprise for example at least a frustoconical casing winding, for example two successive windings each of frustoconical casing and arranged to impart to the mounting part a substantially hourglass shape.
  • the mounting part could have a substantially conical, spherical or cylindrical envelope, for example.
  • the push button can be movable along an axis.
  • the mounting part can extend along a longitudinal axis which may be substantially coincident with the axis of moving the push button.
  • the projecting part can be realized in different ways and in an example particular embodiment of the invention, the projecting part comprises a turn of which the axis is at an angle to that of the mounting part. This angle can be substantially a right angle.
  • the protruding part can in particular be made in the form of a spiral unique. This turn can be connected directly to the adjacent turn of the part of editing but it could be otherwise without going beyond the scope of this invention, and the turn constituting the protruding part could still be connected by for example, at least one turn other than a turn located at one end of the part of mounting.
  • the coil constituting the protruding part may have a smaller section than the one or the turns of the mounting part.
  • the section of this turn and its position relative to the pushbutton are preferably chosen so that, in the where the push button has a dispensing nozzle of a spray, the spray emitted by the nozzle does not meet the turn.
  • the center of this turn can for example be located substantially in front of the nozzle, after a half-actuation stroke of the push button.
  • the device may comprise a bottle comprising a neck and a pump which can be fixed on the neck for example by crimping or snapping.
  • the bottle can in particular be made of glass.
  • the device may further comprise a hoop attached to the neck of the bottle or on the pump.
  • the spring can be fixed on this hoop being for example arranged for snap on it.
  • the hoop may in particular comprise an annular bead able to be crossed by elastic deformation of a turn at least of the part of mounting. This annular bead can in particular be positioned so as to be located, when the spring mounting portion is in place on the hoop, substantially between two turns of the mounting part.
  • the hoop may have at its base a flange against which can be supported at one end of the mounting part.
  • the hoop can house a ring, inserted in a groove defined by the aforementioned collar.
  • the hoop can be made metal and the plastic ring.
  • the face of the mounting part intended to rest against the collar may have a substantially flat portion, for example a ground portion.
  • the device may also comprise a pump comprising a skirt snapped on the neck of the bottle.
  • the spring mounting part can for example be attached directly to this mounting skirt.
  • FIG. 1 shows an example of a device 1 for packaging and dispensing, made according to the invention.
  • This device 1 comprises a fixed part comprising a container 2 which can be a bottle made of glass or plastic, provided with a neck 8, which is apparent FIG. 2. A hoop 5 is fixed by friction on this collar 8.
  • the device 1 comprises also a moving part constituted by the push-button 3 of a pump inserted in the neck 8 and whose stem 30 is also apparent in Figure 2.
  • the neck 8 is provided with a annular bead on which is crimped a metal cap 11 which serves to fix the body of the pump on the bottle 2.
  • a spring 4 partially covers the hoop 5.
  • This spring 4 comprises a part 6 intended to be fixed on the hoop 5 and a projecting portion 7 which exceeds the above the push button 3, the mounting parts 6 and protruding 7 being made of a single piece, by conformation of a steel wire, of circular cross-section in the example considered.
  • This thread may have been heat treated for him give a color, especially bluish or be repolished to give a shiny appearance.
  • the push-button 3 has an actuating surface 30 and can be move along an axis Z which is confused in the example under consideration with the longitudinal axis of the bottle 2.
  • the part protruding 7 is in the example in the form of a single turn, shaped substantially circular and plane, of axis Y making with the axis X of the mounting part 6 a angle ⁇ of about 90 °.
  • the mounting portion 6 comprises, in the illustrated example, several turns 9 contiguous, each of substantially circular shape and diameter, when one moves along the X axis from the turn adjacent to the turn 7 towards the opposite end, descending then increasing, the inner section of the mounting portion 6 passing through a at least half of its height.
  • the inside diameter of the turns 9 of the mounting part 6 can be chosen in depending on the desired degree of tightening of the spring 4 on the hoop 5.
  • the hoop 5 can be made in a sheet of metal by at least one step of stamping and comprise, as can be seen in FIGS. 7 and 8 in particular, a annular bead 12 defining a relief on which can snap the part of assembly 6, this annular bead 12 can for example be housed in the throat formed between two adjacent turns 9.
  • the hoop 5 can be made with, on its radially inner surface, longitudinal ribs 13 intended to come frictionally on the capsule 11.
  • the hoop 5 comprises at its base a flange 14 having a lower back 22 inwards.
  • the spring 4 can be supported by its underside 15 against this flange 14.
  • This lower face 15 may advantageously have been ground according to a plane perpendicular to the X axis, so that it can rest by substantially all its circumference against collar 14.
  • the latter internally defines a groove 16 in which can lodge a split ring 17, which has been shown in isolation in FIG. an annular shoulder portion 21 which engages in the groove 16 above the return 22 of the collar 14.
  • the ring 17 can make it possible to stiffen the flange 14 and to maintain its dimensions and can also participate in centering the fret 5 on the pump during the manufacture of the device 1.
  • the ring 17 has a face lower 19 which is slightly tapered, diverging outwards and downwards, and which is likely to bear against the shoulder located at the base of the neck 8 of the bottle 2, thus being able to play a role of damper during the assembly of the hoop 5 on the bottle 2, in case of poorly controlled insertion of the band 5.
  • the pushbutton 3 comprises, in the example considered, a nozzle 24 allowing to distribute the product in the form of a spray.
  • the turn 7 is preferably positioned opposite the nozzle 24 of in order to allow the distribution of a spray through the turn 7.
  • the tightening of the mounting part 6 on the hoop 5 allows it, the user can, if necessary, if he wish, angularly shift the turn 7 relative to the nozzle 24, as seen on Figure 11.
  • the turn 7 which extends above the pushbutton 3 avoids an accidental depression of this one by pressing against a wall of the bag, for example.
  • the device without a hoop 5, the spring 4 possibly being attach directly to at least one of the pump and neck of the vial.
  • FIGS. 11 and 12 show a variant of embodiment in which the pump comprises a mounting skirt 26 arranged to snap on a relief 27 of the neck of the bottle 2 and in which the spring 4 is arranged to to be fixed directly on this skirt 26.
  • the pump comprises a mounting skirt 26 arranged to snap on a relief 27 of the neck of the bottle 2 and in which the spring 4 is arranged to to be fixed directly on this skirt 26.
  • the shape of the spring can be modified and the spring can in particular be made with a wire of square section, as illustrated in FIG. figure 14.
  • the pump could be replaced by a valve, the product being then contained in the pressurized state in the container.
