  • the embodiments and These valves are well known to those skilled in the art.
  • a diffuser is attached to the tubing.
  • This diffuser can be horizontal output, that is to say perpendicular to the tubing, as shown in FIG. 5A, or with a vertical outlet, that is to say in the extension of the tubing, as shown in Figure 5B.
  • the diffuser comprises at least one support surface and a conduit whose one end cooperates with the tubing and another end includes a tip to adjust the characteristics of the jet issued.
  • a diffuser is generally adapted to the fluid emitted as well as to the shape of the desired jet.
  • the present invention aims to limit the risk of unwanted broadcasts.
  • this device is not entirely satisfactory because the user can in any case act on the diffuser, the second opening always allowing access to the broadcaster who can otherwise always be actuated.
  • Another device is described in the document FR-2.255.231. It includes a a fixed part attached to the end of the bomb integrating the diffuser horizontal outlet, the latter being arranged between two domes, and secondly, a moving part covering the first, with two openings on the face side, one likely to allow access to the actuator and the other to authorize the passage of the emitted jet.
  • the openings are either arranged at right of the diffuser and the other of the tip and actuation is possible, or is to the right of domes and actuation is impossible.
  • the present invention aims to provide an alternative to the solutions of the art prior art, more particularly a device for protecting a diffuser for aerosol container limiting the risk of untimely diffusion, likely to adapt to the majority of existing broadcasters.
  • the subject of the invention is a device for protecting a diffuser aerosol container, said diffuser being capable of emitting a jet during its actuation, characterized in that it comprises a cover with at least one opening allowing the passage of the jet emitted during the actuation of the diffuser and inside at least one contact surface that can be supported against the diffuser and trigger its actuation during the movement of said hood against the diffuser, said hood being capable of occupying two states, a first state says blocked in which it can not be operated and a second state said free in which it can be actuated, its movement causing the actuation of the diffuser via the contact surface.
  • an aerosol container comprising a container of cylindrical shape with at one end a cup set with level of which is reported a valve.
  • This valve comprises, outside the container, a tubing of which the depression and / or inclination causes the ejection of the fluid contained in the bomb via the free end of the tubing.
  • a diffuser 12 is attached to the tubing to facilitate the operation of the valve and adjust the characteristics of the jet issued.
  • This diffuser comprises a conduit whose end cooperates with the tubing and another end comprises a tip 14 for adjusting the characteristics of the emitted jet.
  • a diffuser is generally adapted to the fluid emitted as well as to the shape of the desired jet.
  • the diffuser 12 may be horizontal outlet, as illustrated on the FIG. 5A, the emitted jet being substantially perpendicular to the tubing of the valve, or vertical outlet, as shown in Figure 5B, the jet emitted being substantially in the extension of the tubing of the valve.
  • the diffuser comprises at least one support surface 16 allowing to act on the diffuser to trigger the emission of the jet.
  • a horizontal outlet diffuser has a cylindrical shape of outside diameter D with at its free end a bearing surface 16.
  • the tip 14 is provided at level of the side face of the cylinder.
  • a vertical outlet diffuser has a cylindrical shape of outside diameter d with at its base two radially extending wings, diametrically opposite, forming two bearing surfaces 16.
  • the tip 14 is provided at the free end of the cylinder.
  • the diffusers that they are with exit vertical or horizontal have dimensions substantially identical and standardized exterior.
  • the aerosol container comprises a device for protecting the diffuser 12 to avoid the risk of untimely broadcast.
  • This device comprises a first part 18, subsequently called ring, likely to be connected to the upper end of the bomb 10, and a second part 20, hereinafter called the cover connected to the ring 18.
  • the cover 20 comprises inside at least one contact surface 22 likely to take support against the broadcaster 12 and to trigger his actuation during movement of said cover 20 against the diffuser.
  • This hood 20 is likely to occupy two states, a first state said blocked in which it can not be operated and a second state said free in which it can be actuated by the user, its movement causing the actuation of the diffuser via the contact surface 22.
  • it comprises at least one opening 24 or clearance allowing the passage of the jet emitted during the actuation of the diffuser.
  • the user knows immediately whether the broadcaster may or may not be actuated because either the hood is blocked and the user knows he can not operate it or the hood is free and then the user can act and cause the broadcast of the product.
  • the ring 18 is clipped at the upper end of 10. The forces generated by the clipping are such that said ring 18 is stationary with respect to said bomb 10.
  • the cover 20 has in the lower part a cylinder shape whose diameter is adapted to the inner diameter of the ring 18 and can pivot by relative to said ring 18.
  • the cover 20 comprises at least one projecting element, called lug 26, capable of moving in a housing 28 arranged at the level of the ring.
  • the housing 28 has adapted shapes capable of to immobilize the lug 26 in a first position corresponding to the state blocked and to allow movement in the vertical direction (corresponding to the axis of the valve tubing) of the lug 26 in a second position corresponding to the free state.
  • the housing includes a first part in the form of a slot 30 whose dimensions are adapted to those of the pin so as to prohibit the displacement in the vertical direction of the latter, as well as a second part in the form of an opening 32 whose dimensions allow a displacement in the substantially vertical direction of the ergot 26.
  • the hood comprises three pins 26 and the ring 18 three housings 28.
  • one of the housings 28.1 has a shape allowing only the pivoting of the cover 20 relative to the ring 18 and prohibiting any vertical movement of the corresponding ergot 26.1.
  • said hood pivots with respect to a fixed point materialized by the spur 26.1.
  • the housing or dwellings 28 comprise a recess 34 to mark the transition from blocked state to state free, this recess 34 being disposed between the slot 30 and the opening 32.
  • the ring 18 and the cover 20 are made of plastic material by molding, and are preferably obtained in one piece, bridges likely to be broken during the first use connecting the two elements.
  • the cover has an envelope outer cylindrical with a top surface 36 facilitating the stacking, and two indentations 38 disposed substantially symmetrical, one of them having a surface 40 on which can press the user to cause the broadcast.
  • this surface 40 has streaks to improve actuation.
  • Streaks 41 are also provided at the side walls of the hood to facilitate the pivoting of the hood versus the ring and show the user which of these two elements must rotate.
  • the hood comprises two orifices 24 to allow the passage of the jet, one 24.1 at the notch 38 opposite the surface actuator 40, provided for the horizontal outlet diffusers, and the other 24.2 at the upper surface 36 for the outlet diffusers vertical.
  • the orifice 24.2 is substantially centered at the level of the upper surface 36.
  • This arrangement makes it possible to obtain a versatile hood that can adapt to to diffusers with vertical or horizontal outlet.
  • the orifice 24.1 has an indented shape to allow during the mounting the passage of a capillary that can be provided at the tip of the horizontal diffusers.
  • the indentation 38 in which is provided the orifice for the diffusers with horizontal exit is disposed at the right of the spur 26.1.
  • the orifice 24.2 extends inside the hood by a conduit 42 whose lower end plays the surface function of contact 22 likely to actuate the broadcaster.
  • This duct has a diameter adapted to the diffuser, less than the diameter D of the horizontal and top outlet diffusers with diameter of diffusers vertical outlet as shown in FIGS. 6A, 6B, 7A and 7B.
  • the lower end of the led 42 capable of playing the contact surface function 22, is not horizontal but slightly inclined or curved to compensate for the devers generated by the slight tilting of the hood during actuation, in order to to obtain a substantially horizontal contact surface when the diffuser is activated, which gives the assurance of having a horizontal or vertical jet.
  • a second contact surface 22 is provided for actuating diffusers 12 with vertical output.
  • this contact surface 22 can be obtained by the inner surfaces protruding 44 of the hood corresponding to the notches 38, as illustrated by Figure 3.
  • a second duct 46 is provided inside the hood, coaxial with the first conduit 42 and disposed at the outside of the latter, whose lower end can play the role of second contact surface 22.
  • the diameter interior of this duct is such that it allows the housing of an outlet diffuser horizontal and that its lower end can press on the wings forming support surface of a diffuser with vertical outlet.
  • This duct 46 allows pressing on the wings 16 of the diffuser whatever their positions.
  • the lower end of the duct 46 can be inclined to the way of that of the conduit 42.
  • the cover 20 comprises inside stiffeners 48 between the second conduit 46 and the side walls for stiffen the assembly and prevent the lugs from coming out of the housing.
  • the device of the invention is likely to be mounted on bombs commercial aerosols, of different diameters, equipped with diffusers conventional vertical or horizontal emission.
  • the contact surface or surfaces preferably have shapes adapted to obtain a jet, depending on the type of diffuser, in the axis of the bomb aerosol for diffusers with vertical exit, or perpendicular to the axis of the aerosol can for horizontal outlet diffusers.
