Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dispensing head intended to equip a packaging and distribution of a product, in particular cosmetic.
  • a product in particular cosmetic.
  • Such a product may be distributed in particular in the form of a cream, gel, mousse or spray.
  • Cosmetic product means a product as defined in Directive Council Directive 93/35 / EEC of 14 June 1993 amending for the sixth time 76/768 / EEC.
  • a dispensing head as referred to herein invention is intended to equip a device for conditioning and distribution that includes a receptacle containing the product to be dispensed, provided an open end, on which is fixed a dispensing member.
  • a dispensing member may be a pump or a valve that is overcome a dispensing head.
  • a dispensing head of this type allows the user to route the product exiting the container to a port of distribution. It can furthermore make it possible to control the actuation of the dispensing member, for ejecting a dose of product out of the container.
  • Such pumps are relatively difficult to operate with a simple push button. That's why we can provide for the use of dispensing heads with a trigger serving as a lever arm to depress the push button to facilitate actuation.
  • US 4,401,240 discloses an aerosol device comprising a support intended to attach to the can of the aerosol.
  • the support comprises an articulated arm which allows to operate the diffuser of the aerosol which is not however as hard to operate that a push button overcoming a pump to precompression.
  • the arm support zone is located on the same side of the diffuser than the articulation of the arm.
  • the document JP2000191043 describes a dispensing head of the "trigger" type, that is to say, the pump is fully integrated in the head provided with the trigger and that it can not be separated.
  • the pump is fully integrated in the head provided with the trigger and that it can not be separated.
  • triggers are unattractive and do not allow to have a very important choice of designs.
  • US 3,478,935 discloses a lever arm intended to actuate a pump.
  • the lever arm is attached to the pump by means of a skirt fastener comprising a hooking bead on its entire periphery.
  • Japanese documents JP09-124064 and JP09-038540 also describe dispensing heads having lever arms attached relative to a pump by means of a fixing skirt provided with a hanging bead on all its periphery.
  • US5,992,708 discloses a lever arm intended to actuate a valve equipping a pressurized container.
  • the lever arm is attached to the container by means of an open ring that allows it to be easily detached from the container.
  • the force exerted on the ring tends to open it up further so that it risks breaking away from container being actuated.
  • the trigger can separate from the pump, so we can use a pump standard that could otherwise be used with the diffuser alone, unlike triggers in which the pump is fully integrated in the head provided with the trigger.
  • a user may not hold only one trigger and use it successively on several pumps overcoming different containers.
  • the head can thus be used with different models of standard pumps, for example pumps of different doses depending on the product that we wish to distribute.
  • precompression pumps which can spray relatively viscous products, such as example of oils or milks, in the form of good quality sprays.
  • the trigger may comprise a bearing surface, on which can be exercised an actuating force, the bearing surface being located on one side of a plane passing through a longitudinal axis of the pump and the axis of articulation being located on the other side of said plane. The operation of the pump is further facilitated.
  • the ring of the actuator can be configured to snap.
  • the attachment portion of the ring may be located on one side of a plane passing through the longitudinal axis X of the pump, and the axis of articulation is located the other side of said plane. This improves the attachment of the trigger.
  • the ring may further comprise a second portion configured so to bend while triggering the trigger.
  • the second portion can be diametrically opposed to the hooking portion of the ring.
  • the trigger may comprise two portions forming an angle between them, of so that the trigger can be attached to one side of the pump and the support surface is located on the other side of the pump.
  • the trigger may further include a portion adapted to bear on the diffuser to push it in order to operate the pump.
  • the dispensing head may comprise a mounting band adapted to be fixed on the recipient.
  • the pump can be attached to the mounting collar.
  • the diffuser may comprise a cannula which opens on the orifice of distribution.
  • the trigger may include a window through which the cannula passes.
  • the dispensing head may comprise a locking member to prevent the actuation of the diffuser.
  • the locking member may be configured to prevent the trigger from moving.
  • the locking member can be in the form of a flap hinged on the trigger, the flap having a free end intended to bear against the ring, the diffuser or the fret.
  • the objects of the invention may be achieved by carrying out a packaging and distribution device comprising a container surmounted by a dispensing head as it comes to be described.
  • the container may contain a cosmetic product.
  • the device is particularly useful for packaging and distribution a cosmetic product, especially in the form of a cream, a mousse, a gel or spray.
  • the device 1 comprises a container 10, made for example of material thermoplastic. It is obvious that any other material can be used to to make the container and in particular tinplate or aluminum.
  • the recipient 10 comprises a body 11 of generally spherical shape which comprises a collar 12 in which is mounted a pump 20 of longitudinal axis X.
  • the container may alternatively have any other shape, including a shape cylindrical.
  • the pump 20 which is not shown in detail in the figures but partly and in dashed lines in Figure 2, is a standard pump, preference to precompression.
  • the pump comprises a piston whose moving inside the pump body, in one direction, causes the output under pressure of the product, and in the other direction, causes the suction of the product in the pump body.
  • the piston is constrained in its position corresponding to the maximum volume of the pumping chamber by means of a spring.
  • the pump has a rod actuator 21 which can be displaced axially by exerting pressure to operate the pump.
  • the pump 20 is surrounded by a mounting ring 60 inside which it is for example snapped.
  • the hoop 60 is fixed, for example by snap on the neck 12 of the container. Alternatively, the hoop 60 can be screwed on the neck of the container.
  • a diffuser 40 is removably mounted on the actuating rod 21 pump.
  • the diffuser 40 comprises a sleeve 41 intended to be engaged directly on the actuating rod and a skirt 42 which surrounds the sleeve and which is closed in its upper part by a wall 43.
  • the diffuser further comprises a cannula 44 extending perpendicular to the axis of the sleeve and which leads to an orifice of spraying 45.
  • the spray orifice is delimited by a nozzle reported 46, in particular a swirling channel nozzle, disposed at the end of the 44.
  • the spray orifice communicates selectively with inside the pump via a conduit that passes through, on the one hand, the cannula 44 and, on the other hand, the sleeve 41.
  • An actuating member having a trigger 50 is provided for control the actuation of the pump by pressing the diffuser 40, which itself depresses the actuating rod 21.
  • the actuating member is mounted removably relative to the pump via a ring 70.
  • the trigger 50 is formed by a bent lever arm having two portions 51 and 52 forming an angle between them, the trigger 50 being formed in a plane parallel to the axis X.
  • the first portion 51 presents a first end 51a connected to the ring 70 via a hinge 53 with attached axle of to allow the trigger 50 to pivot about a Y axis. the scope of the invention if replacing the hinge axis reported by a film hinge.
  • the hinge 53 is formed on an intermediate element 73, integral with the ring 70, which allows to move the hinge 53 of the ring so to authorize the pivoting movement of the trigger.
  • the first portion 51 extends, from the hinge 53, towards the diffuser and above it, to the bent portion located substantially above the wall transverse 43 of the diffuser.
  • the second portion 52 of the trigger goes down on the other side of the diffuser.
  • the second portion 52 of the trigger extends from the bent portion away from the diffuser and heading to the container 10 to a second end 52a of the trigger.
  • the second end 52a forms a surface on which the user can press to rotate the trigger.
  • the trigger 50 is relatively long in order to optimize the leverage effect and therefore the comfort in use.
  • the bearing surface 52a on which an actuating force is exerted is located on one side of a plane P passing through the X axis while the hinge is located the other side of the plane P so as to facilitate the actuation of the pump.
  • a lug 55 is provided under the portion 51 trigger to come to press the transverse wall 43 of the diffuser and allow the actuation of the pump.
  • the second portion 52 of the trigger is further provided with a window 54, visible in FIG. 3, which can be traversed by the cannula 44. The trigger can thus be extended below of the cannula.
  • the trigger 50 has a section transverse U-shaped, that is to say it has a throat all over its length, the groove being defined by two flanges 50a (only one of which is visible in the figures) provided on each edge of the trigger.
  • the trigger fixing ring 70 has a cross section circular whose inner diameter is substantially greater than the diameter outside the fret 60 so as to surround it leaving a fair game sufficient for mounting and dismounting.
  • the ring is continuous on all its periphery.
  • the ring 70 comprises a portion 71 for coupling the trigger on the hoop of 60.
  • the attachment portion has a rib 71 which extends radially inwardly of the ring, on the lower edge 75 of the ring.
  • the rib 71 is intended to be housed under the lower edge 61 of the fret of mounting 60 so as to maintain the ring 70 on the collar 60.
  • the rib 71 does not extend over the entire periphery of the ring. Rib 71 extends only on a portion of the periphery of the ring, preferably on a portion less than half of the periphery of the ring.
  • the rib 71 is not continuous and is formed by two spaced portions as seen in Figure 3.
  • the rib can be continuous.
  • the rib 71 is not located on the same side of the plane P as the hinge 53.
  • the ring 70 further comprises a second portion 72 located on the side of the hinge 53 and located at an axial height as it is bent during actuation of the trigger.
  • the second portion 72 is suitable for abut against the hoop 60 in order to limit the movement of the ring during actuation of the trigger to prevent the ring from coming off the fret.
  • the ring is at an angle, that is to say that its edge upper 74 and its lower edge 75 extend in oblique planes by relative to the axis of the ring.
  • the attachment portion 71 must necessarily be at the lower edge 61 of the hoop but it is not not necessary that the ring has a very important axial height of this side, while the second portion 72 of the ring must be sufficiently large to come into abutment against the fret and should preferably get closer of the hinge 53.
