Description
L'invention concerne un pulvérisateur à poussoir muni d'une buse de pulvérisation latérale faisant saillie sur le côté du bouton formant poussoir. Elle concerne plus particulièrement un perfectionnement visant à rendre ce type de dispositif facilement adaptable à son habillage et moins coûteux à fabriquer.A pusher sprayer having a side spray nozzle projecting from the side of the pusher button. It relates more particularly to an improvement to make this type of device easily adaptable to its dressing and less expensive to manufacture.
On connaît un type de pulvérisateur comportant un flacon équipé d'une pompe à poussoir, ce dernier comportant une buse de pulvérisation latérale. Le flacon est généralement pourvu d'un habillage à caractère esthétique représentatif du produit à pulvériser. Cet habillage comporte un capuchon recouvrant complètement le poussoir. Classiquement, ce poussoir est emboîté à l'extrémité d'un tube de sortie d'une pompe, elle-même montée sur le col du flacon. Dans le cas d'un tel habillage, le sommet du capuchon est pourvu d'une membrane souple ou élément analogue permettant d'actionner le poussoir. Ce dernier est muni d'une buse latérale saillante permettant de déporter l'orifice de pulvérisation au voisinage de la paroi latérale du capuchon. Celle-ci comporte une fente s'étendant parallèlement à l'axe d'actionnement du poussoir et dont la longueur correspond à la course d'actionnement de la pompe. La buse est définie à l'extrémité d'un élément rectiligne, généralement cylindrique. Cet élément abrite un noyau. Les deux pièces sont en matière plastique moulée.A type of sprayer is known comprising a flask equipped with a push-button pump, the latter comprising a lateral spray nozzle. The bottle is generally provided with an aesthetic coating representative of the product to be sprayed. This dressing has a cap completely covering the pusher. Conventionally, this pusher is fitted at the end of an outlet tube of a pump, itself mounted on the neck of the bottle. In the case of such a skin, the top of the cap is provided with a flexible membrane or the like to actuate the pusher. The latter is provided with a protruding side nozzle for deporting the spray orifice in the vicinity of the side wall of the cap. This comprises a slot extending parallel to the axis of actuation of the pusher and whose length corresponds to the actuating stroke of the pump. The nozzle is defined at the end of a rectilinear element, generally cylindrical. This element houses a kernel. Both parts are made of molded plastic.
US 2729367 décrit un pulvérisateur selon le préambule de la revendication 1.US 2729367 discloses a sprayer according to the preamble of
Or, la longueur de cet élément dépend du flacon et de son habillage. Par conséquent, pour un type de flacon donné, il est nécessaire de réaliser deux moules, l'un pour l'élément rectiligne et l'autre pour le noyau. Il en résulte un coût de production élevé. L'invention propose un équipement adaptable à toutes les configurations de flacon et d'habillage.However, the length of this element depends on the bottle and its dressing. Therefore, for a given type of vial, it is necessary to make two molds, one for the rectilinear element and the other for the nucleus. This results in a high production cost. The invention provides equipment adaptable to all bottle configurations and dressing.
Ainsi, l'invention concerne un pulvérisateur à pompe équipée d'un poussoir muni d'une buse latérale saillante, définie à l'extrémité d'un élément rectiligne rattaché audit poussoir et s'étendant latéralement par rapport à lui, caractérisé en ce que ledit élément est monté à force dans une cavité dudit poussoir communiquant avec la sortie de ladite pompe et en ce que ladite cavité est d'une profondeur propre à permettre un enfoncement de longueur choisie dudit élément, déterminant la longueur de la partie saillante de celui-ci.Thus, the invention relates to a pump sprayer equipped with a pusher provided with a projecting lateral nozzle, defined at the end of a rectilinear element attached to said pusher and extending laterally relative thereto, characterized in that said element is forcibly mounted in a cavity of said pusher communicating with the outlet of said pump and in that said cavity is of a depth suitable for allowing a depression of selected length of said element, determining the length of the protruding portion of said this.
L'élément rectiligne précité est muni d'une paroi d'extrémité percée d'un trou de pulvérisation. Ledit élément définit un canal de sortie pour le liquide et renferme le noyau mentionné ci-dessus. Un ou plusieurs passages longitudinaux sont ménagés entre la surface interne dudit canal de sortie et la surface externe du noyau. Une chambre de tourbillonnement, connue en soi, est agencée entre l'orifice interne du trou de pulvérisation et une extrémité du noyau située en regard de cet orifice interne. Par conséquent, le liquide fourni par la pompe est refoulé dans le ou les passages longitudinaux définis entre le canal de sortie et le noyau et pulvérisé à sa sortie de la chambre de tourbillonnement.The aforementioned rectilinear element is provided with an end wall pierced with a spray hole. Said element defines an output channel for the liquid and encloses the nucleus mentioned above. One or more longitudinal passages are provided between the inner surface of said outlet channel and the outer surface of the core. A swirl chamber, known per se, is arranged between the internal orifice of the spray hole and an end of the core located opposite this internal orifice. As a result, the liquid supplied by the pump is discharged into the longitudinal passage (s) defined between the outlet channel and the core and sprayed at its exit from the swirl chamber.
Avantageusement, la cavité précitée est un trou borgne globalement cylindrique qui s'étend perpendiculairement à un trou axial du poussoir dans lequel est engagé le tube de sortie de la pompe. Le trou borgne communique avec le trou axial quelle que soit la position choisie de l'élément rectiligne à l'intérieur dudit trou borgne. A cet effet, ledit élément rectiligne peut comporter, dans sa partie la plus interne, au moins une rainure débouchant à son extrémité interne, apte à maintenir une communication entre le canal de sortie de l'élément rectiligne et le trou axial recevant le tube de sortie de la pompe. Cette rainure permet de maintenir la communication, même pour une position où l'élément est très engagé dans le trou borgne.Advantageously, the aforementioned cavity is a generally cylindrical blind hole which extends perpendicularly to an axial hole of the pusher in which is engaged the pump outlet tube. The blind hole communicates with the axial hole irrespective of the chosen position of the rectilinear element inside said blind hole. For this purpose, said rectilinear element may comprise, in its innermost part, at least one groove opening at its inner end, able to maintain communication between the outlet channel of the rectilinear element and the axial hole receiving the tube. pump outlet. This groove makes it possible to maintain the communication, even for a position where the element is very engaged in the blind hole.
Selon une autre caractéristique avantageuse, le fond dudit trou borgne comporte une butée en décrochement sur laquelle vient reposer une partie de ladite extrémité interne de l'élément rectiligne. Cet agencement garantit la communication entre ledit canal de sortie et le tube de sortie de la pompe même lorsque l'élément précité est engagé au maximum dans le trou borgne et vient prendre appui contre ladite butée.According to another advantageous characteristic, the bottom of said blind hole comprises an abutment stop on which comes to rest a portion of said inner end of the rectilinear element. This arrangement ensures the communication between said outlet channel and the outlet tube of the pump even when the aforementioned element is engaged at most in the blind hole and bears against said stop.
Comme indiqué précédemment, la machine d'assemblage de l'élément (muni de son noyau) et du poussoir, est réglée de façon à déterminer la longueur dont ledit élément fait saillie latéralement par rapport à la surface latérale dudit poussoir. A cet effet, ledit élément peut comporter, à sa surface externe, des crans ou légères saillies analogues, par exemple annulaires, renforçant ledit montage à force.As indicated above, the assembly machine of the element (with its core) and the pusher is adjusted to determine the length of which said element projects laterally with respect to the lateral surface of said pusher. For this purpose, said element may comprise, on its outer surface, notches or slight protrusions similar, for example annular, reinforcing said mounting force.
L'invention sera mieux comprise et d'autres avantages de celle-ci apparaîtront plus clairement à la lumière de la description qui va suivre d'un pulvérisateur à poussoir conforme à son principe, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :
- la figure 1 est une vue générale en perspective d'un flacon pulvérisateur muni de son habillage, auquel s'applique l'invention ;

- la figure 3 est une vue de détail en élévation et en coupe montrant la buse de pulvérisation, le poussoir et la pompe ;
- la figure 4 est une section IV-IV de la figure 3 ; et
- les figures 5 et 6 sont des vues analogues à la figure 3, à plus petite échelle montrant différentes configurations de montage adaptées à des habillages respectifs non représentés.
- Figure 1 is a general perspective view of a spray bottle provided with its covering, to which the invention applies;
- Figure 2 is a detail view of Figure 1, with section of the cap;
- Figure 3 is a detail view in elevation and in section showing the spray nozzle, the pusher and the pump;
- Figure 4 is a section IV-IV of Figure 3; and

Les figures 1 et 2 représentent un pulvérisateur 11 à pompe manuelle entièrement recouvert d'un habillage 12 à caractère esthétique, ici globalement cylindrique. La partie inférieure renferme le flacon 17 tandis que la partie supérieure forme une sorte de capuchon 13 recouvrant complètement le col du flacon et un poussoir 14, lequel est fixé à l'extrémité d'une pompe à actionnement manuel montée dans le col du flacon. La figure 2 montre plus particulièrement le col 17a du flacon 17 et le poussoir 14 dont l'extrémité supérieure est placée en regard et à peu de distance d'une membrane souple 18 occultant une fenêtre ménagée à la face supérieure du capuchon 13.FIGS. 1 and 2 show a
Dans ce type de pulvérisateur, il est nécessaire de déporter latéralement la buse de pulvérisation jusqu'à une fente 19 pratiquée dans la paroi latérale du capuchon 13 parallèlement à l'axe d'actionnement de la pompe. A cet effet, la buse de pulvérisation 20 est définie à l'extrémité d'un élément rectiligne 24 à l'intérieur duquel est défini un canal de sortie 25 du liquide. Cet élément est rattaché au poussoir et s'étend latéralement par rapport à lui. Son extrémité est engagée dans la fente 19 du capuchon, de sorte que la pulvérisation se fait entièrement à l'extérieur de celui-ci. L'extrémité de l'élément 24 affleure à la surface latérale du capuchon 13.In this type of sprayer, it is necessary to laterally offset the spray nozzle to a
Il ressort de ce qui précède que la longueur dont l'élément rectiligne fait saillie au-delà du poussoir dépend de plusieurs facteurs notamment la taille du flacon, la forme et les dimensions du capuchon, etc... L'invention permet d'utiliser un élément rectiligne 24 de longueur unique susceptible de s'adapter à toutes les configurations. A cet effet, le poussoir, visible en coupe sur la figure 3, comporte une cavité 28 de section correspondant à celle de l'élément, lequel est monté à force dans cette cavité. Dans l'exemple, l'élément 24 et la cavité 28 sont cylindriques.It follows from the foregoing that the length of which the rectilinear element protrudes beyond the pusher depends on several factors, in particular the size of the bottle, the shape and dimensions of the cap, etc. The invention makes it possible to use a
Comme on le voit sur la figure 3, la cavité 28 est d'une profondeur suffisante, propre à permettre un enfoncement de longueur choisie de l'élément 24, ce qui détermine la longueur de la partie saillante de celui-ci, cette longueur étant déterminée au réglage de la machine d'assemblage du poussoir 14 et de l'élément 24, lequel renferme un noyau 29.As seen in FIG. 3, the
Le poussoir 14 communique avec la sortie de la pompe 16 qui lui est associée. Sur la figure 3, on a représenté le tube de sortie 15 de cette pompe et on voit que, classiquement, le poussoir 14 comporte un trou 30, s'étendant ici axialement, dans lequel est engagé le tube de sortie 15 de la pompe. La cavité 28 de montage de l'élément 24 communique avec ce trou axial 30 et par conséquent avec la sortie de la pompe. Dans l'exemple, l'élément 24 étant globalement cylindrique, la cavité est un trou borgne globalement cylindrique de diamètre correspondant. Elle s'étend perpendiculairement au trou axial et communique avec lui.The
Ledit élément 24 est muni d'une paroi d'extrémité 32 percée d'un trou de pulvérisation 34. Un ou plusieurs passages longitudinaux 33 sont ménagés entre la surface interne du canal de sortie 25 et la surface externe du noyau 29. Ceci permet au liquide refoulé par la pompe de parvenir jusqu'à une chambre de tourbillonnement 36, connue en soi, agencée entre l'orifice interne du trou de pulvérisation 34 et une extrémité du noyau 29 située en regard de cet orifice interne. Cette chambre de tourbillonnement dans laquelle le liquide est introduit sensiblement tangentiellement, engendre un écoulement très fortement turbulent du liquide et son expulsion du trou de pulvérisation 34 sous forme de fines gouttelettes. Dans l'exemple représenté, on a défini plusieurs passages longitudinaux 33 dans l'élément 24, créés par des nervures longitudinales 39 définies à la surface externe du noyau 29 et en contact avec la surface interne dudit canal de sortie 25. Le noyau 29 est engagé et monté en force dans ce canal. Il s'étend sur pratiquement toute la longueur de celui-ci pour minimiser la quantité de produit liquide stagnant au-delà de la sortie de la pompe.Said
Avantageusement, le noyau 29 est conformé de la même façon à chaque extrémité, pour rendre inutile son orientation au montage dans l'élément. Par conséquent, dans l'exemple décrit, chaque extrémité du noyau comporte une réduction de diamètre propre à définir avec la paroi interne du canal de sortie, une petite cavité annulaire alimentant la chambre de tourbillonnement.Advantageously, the
Le trou borgne, défini dans le poussoir 14, s'étend diamétralement de part et d'autre du trou axial 30 par lequel le poussoir est monté à l'extrémité du tube de sortie 15 de la pompe. L'élément comporte, dans sa partie la plus interne, au moins une gorge 40 débouchant à son extrémité interne, apte à maintenir une communication entre le canal de sortie 25 de l'élément rectiligne (jusqu'au trou de pulvérisation) et le trou axial 30 recevant le tube de sortie de la pompe, ceci pour toute position de l'élément dans le trou borgne, même si ledit élément est très engagé dans le trou borgne, comme représenté sur les figures 3 et 5.The blind hole, defined in the
Dans l'exemple décrit, plusieurs rainures 40 sont définies à la périphérie de l'élément 24. Pour toute position de l'élément dans le poussoir, il existe une zone de serrage cylindrique étanche définie entre la partie cylindrique de l'élément 24 et la surface interne du trou borgne et une zone de serrage sur la partie rainurée définie par la présence des rainures 40, le diamètre extérieur de cette partie étant le même que celui de la partie lisse adjacente.In the example described,
Selon une autre caractéristique avantageuse, le fond du trou borgne comporte une butée 44 en décrochement définie latéralement par rapport à l'axe de celui-ci. L'extrémité interne de l'élément 24 vient prendre appui sur cette butée lorsqu'il est engagé au maximum dans le trou borgne. De cette façon, comme cela est visible sur la figure 5, la communication entre la sortie de pompe et le trou de pulvérisation n'est pas interrompue, même dans cette position.According to another advantageous characteristic, the bottom of the blind hole comprises an
Avantageusement, l'élément 24 comporte à sa surface externe des crans 46, ici à configuration annulaire renforçant le montage à force. Ces crans sont écrasés lors du montage à force de l'élément 24 dans la cavité 28.Advantageously, the
