Abstract

The device has a cover (20) with an opening for allowing passage of jet emitted during activation of a diffuser. A contact surface inside the cover takes support against the diffuser and triggers activation of the diffuser at the time of movement of the cover against the diffuser. The cover moves between a locked state in which the cover is not to be activated and a free state in which the cover is to be activated.

Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un dispositif de protection d'un diffuseur de bombe aérosol.The present invention relates to a device for protecting a diffuser of spray can.

Une bombe aérosol comprend de manière connue un conteneur de forme cylindrique avec à une extrémité une coupelle sertie au niveau de laquelle est prévue une valve.An aerosol can comprises, in a known manner, a shaped container cylindrical with at one end a crimped cup at the level of which is provided a valve.

Cette valve comporte à l'extérieur du conteneur une tubulure dont l'enfoncement et/ou l'inclinaison provoque l'éjection du fluide contenu dans la bombe via l'extrémité libre de la tubulure. Les modes de réalisation et fonctionnements de ces valves sont bien connus de l'homme du métier. Pour faciliter la manoeuvre de la valve et ajuster les caractéristiques du jet émis, un diffuseur est rapporté sur la tubulure.This valve has on the outside of 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. The embodiments and These valves are well known to those skilled in the art. For facilitate the operation of the valve and adjust the characteristics of the jet emitted, a diffuser is attached to the tubing.

Ce diffuseur peut être à sortie horizontale, c'est-à-dire perpendiculaire à la tubulure, comme illustré sur la figure 5A, ou à sortie verticale, c'est-à-dire dans le prolongement de la tubulure, comme illustré sur la figure 5B.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.

De manière connue, le diffuseur comprend au moins une surface d'appui ainsi qu'un conduit dont une extrémité coopère avec la tubulure et une autre extrémité comprend un embout permettant d'ajuster les caractéristiques du jet émis. Un diffuseur est généralement adapté au fluide émis ainsi qu'à la forme du jet souhaité.In known manner, 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.

La présente invention vise à limiter les risques de diffusions intempestives.The present invention aims to limit the risk of unwanted broadcasts.

Un dispositif de protection permettant de limiter ces risques est décrit dans le document FR-2.214.289. Ce dispositif adapté pour les diffuseurs à sortie verticale est rapporté sur le haut de la bombe aérosol et recouvre le diffuseur. A protective device to limit these risks is described in document FR-2.214.289. This device adapted for output diffusers vertical is attached to the top of the aerosol can and covers the diffuser.

Il comprend deux ouvertures, une première sur la partie supérieure permettant le passage du jet émis et une seconde ouverture sur la face latérale par laquelle l'utilisateur peut introduire un doigt pour actionner le diffuseur. Ainsi, en pivotant le dispositif par rapport à la bombe, on peut rendre plus ou moins difficile l'actionnement du diffuseur, l'actionnement étant aisé si la seconde ouverture est disposée au droit de la surface d'appui du diffuseur.It includes two openings, a first on the upper part allowing the passage of the emitted jet and a second opening on the lateral face by which the user can introduce a finger to actuate the diffuser. So, in pivoting the device relative to the bomb, we can make more or less difficult actuation of the diffuser, the actuation being easy if the second opening is arranged to the right of the support surface of the diffuser.

Bien que simple, ce dispositif ne donne pas entièrement satisfaction car l'utilisateur peut dans tous les cas agir sur le diffuseur, la seconde ouverture autorisant toujours l'accès au diffuseur qui peut par ailleurs être toujours actionné.Although simple, 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.

Un autre dispositif est décrit dans le document FR-2.255.231. Il comprend d'une part une partie fixe rapportée à l'extrémité de la bombe intégrant le diffuseur à sortie horizontale, ce dernier étant disposé entre deux dômes, et d'autre part, une partie mobile recouvrant la première, avec deux ouvertures sur la face latérale, l'une susceptible d'autoriser l'accès au actionneur et l'autre d'autoriser le passage du jet émis.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.

Ainsi, en pivotant la partie mobile, les ouvertures sont, soit disposées l'une au droit du diffuseur et l'autre de l'embout et l'actionnement est possible, ou soit au droit des dômes et l'actionnement est impossible.Thus, by pivoting the movable part, 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.

Même si ce dispositif permet de réduire les déclenchements intempestifs, il ne donne pas pleinement satisfaction car il est relativement complexe et coûteux et prévoit un diffuseur intégré au capot si bien qu'il est nécessaire de prévoir autant de capots que de produits pulvérisés et de formes de jet.Even if this device makes it possible to reduce nuisance tripping, it does not does not give full satisfaction because it is relatively complex and expensive and provides a diffuser integrated in the hood so that it is necessary to provide as many hoods as pulverized products and jet shapes.

Aussi, la présente invention vise à proposer une alternative aux solutions de l'art antérieur, plus particulièrement un dispositif de protection d'un diffuseur pour bombe aérosol limitant les risques de diffusions intempestives, susceptible de s'adapter à la majorité des diffuseurs existants. Also, 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.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un dispositif de protection d'un diffuseur de bombe aérosol, ledit diffuseur étant susceptible d'émettre un jet lors de son actionnement, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend un capot avec au moins une ouverture autorisant le passage du jet émis lors de l'actionnement du diffuseur et à l'intérieur au moins une surface de contact susceptible de prendre appui contre le diffuseur et de déclencher son actionnement lors du mouvement dudit capot à l'encontre du diffuseur, ledit capot étant susceptible d'occuper deux états, un premier état dit bloqué dans lequel il ne peut être actionné et un second état dit libre dans lequel il peut être actionné, son mouvement provoquant l'actionnement du diffuseur par l'intermédiaire de la surface de contact.For this purpose, 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.

Sur les figures, on a représenté en 10 une bombe aérosol comportant un conteneur de forme cylindrique avec à une extrémité une coupelle sertie au niveau de laquelle est rapportée une valve.In the figures, there is shown in 10 an aerosol container comprising a container of cylindrical shape with at one end a cup set with level of which is reported a valve.

Cette valve comprend à l'extérieur du conteneur une tubulure dont l'enfoncement et/ou l'inclinaison provoque l'éjection du fluide contenu dans la bombe via l'extrémité libre de la tubulure.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.

Ces éléments ne sont pas plus détaillés car ils sont à la portée de l'homme du métier et sont pas l'objet essentiel de l'invention.These elements are not more detailed because they are within the reach of the man of the and are not the essential object of the invention.

Comme illustré sur les figures 5A et 5B, un diffuseur 12 est rapporté sur la tubulure pour faciliter la manoeuvre de la valve et ajuster les caractéristiques du jet émis.As illustrated in FIGS. 5A and 5B, a diffuser 12 is attached to the tubing to facilitate the operation of the valve and adjust the characteristics of the jet issued.

Ce diffuseur comprend un conduit dont une extrémité coopère avec la tubulure et une autre extrémité comprend un embout 14 permettant d'ajuster les caractéristiques du jet émis. Un diffuseur est généralement adapté au fluide émis ainsi qu'à la forme du jet souhaité.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.

Selon les cas, le diffuseur 12 peut être à sortie horizontale, tel qu'illustré sur la figure 5A, le jet émis étant sensiblement perpendiculaire à la tubulure de la valve, ou à sortie verticale, tel qu'illustré sur la figure 5B, le jet émis étant sensiblement dans le prolongement de la tubulure de la valve.Depending on the case, 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.

Dans tous les cas, le diffuseur comprend au moins une surface d'appui 16 permettant d'agir sur le diffuseur pour déclencher l'émission du jet.In all cases, the diffuser comprises at least one support surface 16 allowing to act on the diffuser to trigger the emission of the jet.

Un diffuseur à sortie horizontale a une forme cylindrique de diamètre extérieur D avec à son extrémité libre une surface d'appui 16. L'embout 14 est prévu au niveau de la face latérale du cylindre. 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.

Un diffuseur à sortie verticale a une forme cylindrique de diamètre extérieur d avec à sa base deux ailes s'étendant radialement, diamétralement opposées, formant deux surfaces d'appui 16. L'embout 14 est prévu à l'extrémité libre du cylindre.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.

Les diffuseurs qu'ils soient à sortie verticale ou horizontale ont des dimensions extérieures sensiblement identiques et standardisées.The diffusers that they are with exit vertical or horizontal have dimensions substantially identical and standardized exterior.

Selon l'invention, la bombe aérosol comprend un dispositif de protection du diffuseur 12 permettant d'éviter les risques de diffusions intempestives. Ce dispositif comprend une première partie 18, appelée par la suite bague, susceptible d'être reliée à l'extrémité supérieure de la bombe 10, et une seconde partie 20, appelée par la suite capot relié à la bague 18.According to the invention, 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.

Le capot 20 comprend à l'interieur au moins une surface de contact 22 susceptible de prendre appui contre le diffuseur 12 et de déclencher son actionnement lors du mouvement dudit capot 20 à l'encontre du diffuseur. Ce capot 20 est susceptible d'occuper deux états, un premier état dit bloqué dans lequel il ne peut être actionné et un second état dit libre dans lequel il peut être actionné par l'utilisateur, son mouvement provoquant l'actionnement du diffuseur par l'intermédiaire de la surface de contact 22.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.

Par ailleurs, il comprend au moins une ouverture 24 ou dégagement autorisant le passage du jet émis lors de l'actionnement du diffuseur.Moreover, it comprises at least one opening 24 or clearance allowing the passage of the jet emitted during the actuation of the diffuser.

Cet agencement simple et fiable permet de limiter les risques de diffusions intempestives et convient à la majorité des diffuseurs commercialisés si bien qu'il n'est plus nécessaire de prévoir un dispositif pour chaque forme de jet ou de produits diffusés.This simple and reliable arrangement makes it possible to limit the risks of diffusions untimely and suitable for the majority of broadcasters marketed so well that it is no longer necessary to provide a device for each form of jet or of broadcast products.

D'autre part, l'utilisateur sait immédiatement si le diffuseur peut ou non être actionné car soit le capot est bloqué et l'utilisateur sait qu'il ne peut l'actionner ou soit le capot est libre et alors l'utilisateur peut agir et provoquer la diffusion du produit. On the other hand, 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.

Selon un mode de réalisation, la bague 18 est clipsée à l'extrémité supérieure de la bombe 10. Les efforts générés par le clipsage sont tels que ladite bague 18 est immobile par rapport à ladite bombe 10.According to one embodiment, 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.

Le capot 20 présente en partie inférieure une forme en cylindre dont le diamètre est adapté au diamètre intérieur de la bague 18 et peut pivoter par rapport à ladite bague 18. A cet effet, le capot 20 comprend au moins un élément en saillie, appelé ergot 26, susceptible de se déplacer dans un logement 28 ménagé au niveau de la bague.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. For this purpose, 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.

Pour obtenir les deux états, le logement 28 a des formes adaptées susceptibles d'immobiliser l'ergot 26 dans une première position correspondant à l'état bloqué et d'autoriser un déplacement dans le sens vertical (correspondant à l'axe de la tubulure de la valve) de l'ergot 26 dans une seconde position correspondant à l'état libre. A cet effet, le logement comprend une première partie sous forme d'une fente 30 dont les dimensions sont adaptées à celles de l'ergot de manière à interdire le déplacement dans le sens vertical de ce dernier, ainsi qu'une seconde partie sous forme d'une ouverture 32 dont les dimensions permettent un déplacement selon la direction sensiblement verticale de l'ergot 26. Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, le capot comprend trois ergots 26 et la bague 18 trois logements 28.To obtain the two states, 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. For this purpose, 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. According to a preferred embodiment, the hood comprises three pins 26 and the ring 18 three housings 28.

Pour améliorer la manipulation du capot, lorsque ce dernier comprend plusieurs ergots 26, un des logements 28.1 a une forme autorisant seulement le pivotement du capot 20 par rapport à la bague 18 et interdisant tout mouvement vertical de l'ergot 26.1 correspondant. Ainsi, lors de l'actionnement du capot par l'utilisateur, ledit capot pivote par rapport à un point fixe matérialisé par l'ergot 26.1. Cet agencement permet d'obtenir un effet de levier qui facilite l'actionnement du capot et par conséquence du diffuseur. To improve the handling of the hood, when it includes several 26, 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. Thus, when the hood is actuated by the user, said hood pivots with respect to a fixed point materialized by the spur 26.1. This arrangement makes it possible to obtain a leverage that facilitates the actuation of the hood and consequently of the diffuser.

Selon une autre caractéristique, le ou les logements 28 comprennent un décrochement 34 permettant de marquer le passage de l'état bloqué à l'état libre, ce décrochement 34 étant disposé entre la fente 30 et l'ouverture 32.According to another characteristic, 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.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, la bague 18 et le capot 20 sont réalisés en matière plastique par moulage, et sont obtenus de préférence d'un seul tenant, des ponts susceptibles d'être rompus lors de la première utilisation reliant les deux éléments.According to a preferred embodiment, 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.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, le capot présente une enveloppe extérieure cylindrique avec en partie supérieure une surface plane 36 facilitant le gerbage, et deux échancrures 38 disposées de manière sensiblement symétrique, l'une d'elle comportant une surface 40 sur laquelle peut appuyer l'utilisateur pour provoquer la diffusion. Avantageusement, cette surface 40 présente des stries pour améliorer l'actionnement. Des stries 41 sont également prévues au niveau des parois latérales du capot pour favoriser le pivotement du capot par rapport à la bague et montrer à l'utilisateur lequel de ces deux éléments doit pivoter.According to a preferred embodiment, 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. Advantageously, 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.

Avantageusement, le capot comprend deux orifices 24 pour permettre le passage du jet, l'un 24.1 au niveau de l'échancrure 38 opposée à la surface d'actionnement 40, prévu pour les diffuseurs à sortie horizontale, et l'autre 24.2 au niveau de la surface supérieure 36 pour les diffuseurs à sortie verticale.Advantageously, 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.

L'orifice 24.2 est sensiblement centré au niveau de la surface supérieure 36.The orifice 24.2 is substantially centered at the level of the upper surface 36.

Cet agencement permet d'obtenir un capot polyvalent, susceptible de s'adapter aux diffuseurs à sortie verticale ou horizontale.This arrangement makes it possible to obtain a versatile hood that can adapt to to diffusers with vertical or horizontal outlet.

De préférence, l'orifice 24.1 a une forme échancrée pour autoriser lors du montage le passage d'un capillaire qui peut être prévu au niveau de l'embout des diffuseurs horizontaux. Preferably, 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.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, l'échancrure 38 dans laquelle est ménagée l'orifice pour les diffuseurs à sortie horizontale est disposé au droit de l'ergot 26.1.According to a preferred embodiment, 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.

Comme illustré sur la figure 3, l'orifice 24.2 se prolonge à l'intérieur du capot par un conduit 42 dont l'extrémité inférieure joue la fonction de surface de contact 22 susceptible d'actionner le diffuseur.As illustrated in FIG. 3, 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.

Ce conduit a un diamètre adapté au diffuseur, inférieur au diamètre D des diffuseurs à sortie horizontale et supérieur au diamètre d des diffuseurs à sortie verticale, comme illustré sur les figures 6A, 6B, 7A et 7B.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.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, l'extrémité inférieure du conduit 42, susceptible de jouer la fonction de surface de contact 22, n'est pas horizontale mais légèrement inclinée ou incurvée pour compenser le devers engendré par le léger basculement du capot lors de l'actionnement, afin d'obtenir une surface de contact sensiblement horizontale lorsque le diffuseur est actionné, ce qui donne l'assurance d'avoir un jet horizontal ou vertical.According to another characteristic of the invention, 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.

Avantageusement, une seconde surface de contact 22 est prévue pour actionner les diffuseurs 12 à sortie verticale. Selon une première variante simplifiée, cette surface de contact 22 peut être obtenue par les surfaces intérieures proéminentes 44 du capot correspondant aux échancrures 38, comme illustré par la figure 3.Advantageously, a second contact surface 22 is provided for actuating diffusers 12 with vertical output. According to a first simplified variant, 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.

Selon une autre variante, illustrée par la figure 4, un second conduit 46 est prévu à l'intérieur du capot, coaxial au premier conduit 42 et disposé à l'extérieur de ce dernier, dont l'extrémité inférieure peut jouer le rôle de seconde surface de contact 22.According to another variant, illustrated in FIG. 4, 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.

Ainsi, comme on peut le visualiser sur les figures 6A, 6B, 7A et 7B, le diamètre intérieur de ce conduit est tel qu'il permet le logement d'un diffuseur à sortie horizontale et que son extrémité inférieure peut appuyer sur les ailes formant surface d'appui d'un diffuseur à sortie verticale. Thus, as can be seen in FIGS. 6A, 6B, 7A and 7B, 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.

Ce conduit 46 permet d'appuyer sur les ailes 16 du diffuseur quelles que soient leurs positions.This duct 46 allows pressing on the wings 16 of the diffuser whatever their positions.

Avantageusement, l'extrémité inférieure du conduit 46 peut être inclinée à la manière de celle du conduit 42.Advantageously, the lower end of the duct 46 can be inclined to the way of that of the conduit 42.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le capot 20 comprend à l'intérieur des raidisseurs 48 entre le second conduit 46 et les parois latérales pour rigidifier l'ensemble et éviter que les ergots ne sortent des logements.According to another characteristic of the invention, 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.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est évidemment pas limitée au mode de réalisation représenté et décrit, mais en couvre au contraire toutes les variantes, notamment en ce qui concerne les formes, les dimensions et matériaux des différents éléments.Of course, the invention is obviously not limited to the embodiment represented and described, but covers all variants, particular with regard to the shapes, dimensions and materials of the different elements.

Ainsi, le dispositif de l'invention est susceptible d'être monté sur des bombes aérosols du commerce, de différents diamètres, équipées de diffuseurs classiques à émission verticale ou horizontale.Thus, 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.

Par ailleurs, la ou les surfaces de contact ont de préférence des formes adaptées pour obtenir un jet, selon le type de diffuseur, dans l'axe de la bombe aérosol pour les diffuseurs à sortie verticale, ou perpendiculaire à l'axe de la bombe aérosol pour les diffuseurs à sortie horizontale.Furthermore, 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.
