Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a packaging and dispensing device for a liquid or semi-liquid product, of the type comprising a reservoir, an ejection assembly connected to a wall of said reservoir and provided with an actuating member projecting from said tank, said actuating member being able to be moved in an operating direction, said vertical direction, for ejecting a quantity of said product from said tank through a passage formed in said actuating member, connecting means which have a first end connected to said actuating member and a second end connected to an output member and which are deformable over at least a part of their length between said first and second ends to be able to drive said quantity of product to said output member without transmitting substantial force to said output member, said output member being fixedly connected reservoir and comprising an outlet opening for dispensing said quantity of product.
  • the ejection assembly is typically a manually operated pump, for a non-pressurized tank, or a valve in the case of a pressurized tank.
  • the actuator typically takes the form of a hollow pump or valve stem surmounted by a pusher.
  • FR 2 767 799 A provides for shifting the pump relative to the axis of revolution of the tank, so as to move away from the spray nozzle and thus lengthen the flexible connection that connects them.
  • This solution is, however, reserved for devices having a sufficient dimension along a pump-nozzle axis, that is to say incompatible with devices of particular shape.
  • US 3,640,274 A provides for lengthening the flexible conduit connecting the actuator rod of the pump to the spray nozzle by looping it around the actuating rod.
  • the flexible conduit is oriented first to the spray nozzle and laterally turns away.
  • a disadvantage of this arrangement is to require a space available for the passage of the flexible conduit between the actuating rod and the spray nozzle, which is also incompatible with devices of particular shape, especially when the horizontal distance between the rod of actuation and the spray nozzle is very short. In fact, it is necessary in this case to increase the curvature of the flexible duct, to a point where the pressure drops can become unacceptable or at the risk of producing a nip of the flexible duct.
  • the object of the invention is to create a device solving at least some of these disadvantages.
  • the invention provides a device of the above type, characterized in that from at least one of said ends, said connecting means have at least one end portion extending from said at least one end and oriented to depart from a vertical planar strip area containing a geometric line directly connecting said actuator and said output member.
  • the connecting means deviate, from one of their ends, or preferably from both, of a vertical band generated by the direct line between the actuating member, for example at the outlet of the passage for the product, and the output member, for example at its entry for the product.
  • This configuration makes it possible to increase the length of the connecting means, and in particular the length of their deformable portion (s), for example flexible (s). This increase in length results from a path of the connecting means outside this vertical band, for example according to at least one portion perpendicular to this vertical band, which has the advantage of not passing this elongation over the size of the device in the vertical direction.
  • the actuating member may consist of one or more element (s) which provide (s), if necessary jointly, the transmission of a vertical actuating movement.
  • the output member designates one or more element (s) which prints (s) an output direction to the ejected product stream.
  • said connecting means comprise a flexible hose.
  • the connecting means may then comprise at least one male or female connector attached to at least one of said actuating member and output member and adapted to connect sealingly with said flexible hose, said connector being oriented so as to forming an angle with a geometric vertical plane containing said strip, that is to say a vertical plane intersecting the output member and the actuating member.
  • a geometric vertical plane containing said strip that is to say a vertical plane intersecting the output member and the actuating member.
  • said angle is greater than 30 °, for example substantially equal to 90 °.
  • the orientation of the end portions of the connecting means may be adapted to route the connecting means in a particular sector of the horizontal plane, for example to adapt the path connecting means to a tank of particular horizontal section.
  • said connecting means between said first and second ends, extend essentially on one side only with respect to said geometric vertical plane containing said band.
  • At least one of said end portions of the connecting means is oriented so as to move away from the opposite end of said connecting means. This results in an increased elongation of the connecting means, which can be particularly useful when the distance in direct line between the output member and the actuating member is very short.
  • said reservoir has a non-circular overall shape in horizontal section, for example an elliptical or oval shape, or a triangular, rectangular or trapezoidal shape.
  • said tank has, in horizontal section, a maximum dimension in a direction intersecting said geometric vertical plane containing said strip-shaped zone, preferably substantially perpendicular. This provides a device that can be easily held in the palm of the hand.
  • a rigid cover is mounted on said reservoir so as to encompass said actuator and said connection means between a wall of said cover and said wall of the reservoir supporting the ejection assembly, said actuating member comprising a pusher mobile guided vertically through said hood wall.
  • said pusher has a bearing surface accessible from the outside of said cover, said bearing surface being substantially aligned with an outer surface of said cover in a rest position of said pusher.
  • This arrangement has an ergonomic advantage and reduces the risk of accidental actuation of the actuating member, relative to a pusher protruding from the hood.
  • said actuating member comprises a hollow pump rod and a transmission rod attached between said pusher and said hollow pump rod, an intermediate wall being arranged between said rigid cover and said tank wall, said transmission rod being guided through said intermediate wall.
  • said output member comprises a nozzle support fixed to said rigid cover and a spray nozzle attached to said nozzle support.
  • This device is a portable vaporizer, generally designated by the numeral 1, for packaging and dispensing a liquid or semi-liquid product, for example a perfume.
  • the product is contained in a tank 2 of substantially elliptical horizontal section, as shown in Figure 3.
