Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dispensing head of a product intended for the actuation of a dispensing member mounted on a container, in particular of a valve mounted on a pressurized container, and to the dispensing of a product contained in the container.
  • the invention relates to a dispensing head that can move between a dispensing position and a storage position.
  • the dispensing heads are protected by covers to avoid any unintentional dispensing of product.
  • the covers can easily be accidentally removed, which is undesirable, particularly when the dispensing head is provided on an aerosol-type dispenser and the risk of leakage of the product, especially the propellant of the aerosol dispenser. aerosol, must absolutely be avoided.
  • dispensing heads that can pass from a dispensing position to a storage position in which the product can not be dispensed.
  • the document US 2,887,273 discloses an example of a dispensing head of this type which has a diffuser attached to a container and a valve stem associated with the container, and a push button for actuating the valve stem. To move from a distribution position to a storage position, the push button is rotatable relative to the diffuser.
  • the diffuser comprises a hollow tube fixed on the valve stem, the tube comprising two diametrically opposite lateral spray orifices.
  • the push button has a skirt fitted on the tube, the skirt defining an opening intended to be placed opposite one or the other of the spray orifices in the dispensing position.
  • the opening formed in the skirt of the push button is positioned opposite the wall of the tube located between the two orifices. No product can be distributed. However, in this position, nothing prevents the depression of the push button so that product can accumulate inside the tube and spray holes of the diffuser. The product thus risks over time to dry and plug the orifices.
  • the document EP 1 024 094 also discloses a dispensing head according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • these objects can be achieved by producing a dispensing head according to claim 1 for actuating a dispensing member mounted on a container and dispensing a product contained in the container.
  • Such a dispensing head can be put in a safety position in which the product can not be dispensed, this position can hardly be changed accidentally unlike heads protected only by covers that can easily be removed accidentally. We avoid also the risk of bacteriological pollution outside the head since in the storage position the head is not covered with a hood and therefore remains in the air.
  • the dispensing member can not be actuated when the opening of the duct is closed, the product can not leave the container in this position and accumulate in the conduit. This avoids the risk of clogging the duct.
  • the presence of the elastically deformable connecting means makes it possible to produce a duct by a molding process from a single piece with fixing means, which can move relative to the fixing means.
  • Such a piece is simple to make and is inexpensive.
  • the dispensing head may be configured to allow actuation of the dispensing member only when the actuating means are in the first position.
  • the dispenser member can not be actuated in an intermediate position between the first and second position to prevent product can arrive in the conduit while the opening of the conduit is closed.
  • the dispensing head may comprise an axial abutment against which the actuating means are able to bear axially at least when they are not in the first position so as to prevent actuation of the dispenser member.
  • the axial stop may also be configured so that the actuating means are able to abut axially against it between the first and the second position, namely in all positions other than the first position.
  • the dispensing orifice may be formed at the end of a channel and the conduit opens on at least one aperture adapted to be placed facing the channel in the first position and able to be closed in the second position.
  • the opening of the duct being closed when the head is not in the dispensing position, the duct is sealed in the storage position.
  • the duct can lead to a single opening that can be placed next to the channel.
  • the opening may be a slot extending parallel to a longitudinal axis X of the head. It is obvious that any other form of opening can be used.
  • the channel at the end of which is formed the dispensing orifice may have a length greater than the diameter of the dispensing orifice.
  • diameter of the dispensing orifice is meant the diameter of the circle when the orifice is circular, or the diameter of the circle circumscribing the section of the orifice when it has a shape different from a circle.
  • the fixing means are fixedly mounted axially on the container so that the head is properly held on the container.
  • the connecting means are elastically deformable, so that they resume their initial position when the constraint that deforms them ceases.
  • the connecting means allow a displacement of the conduit in response to the actuation of the actuating means.
  • the connecting means are constituted by a wall transverse to a longitudinal axis X of the head, which may be corrugated. This configuration of the wall allows it to easily deform and return easily to its initial position.
  • the duct is formed along a longitudinal axis X of the head and has a first end adapted to cooperate with the dispensing member and a second end on which are fitted the actuating means. So, the conduit directly transmits the pressure exerted on the actuating means to the dispensing member.
  • a tip may be disposed within the conduit to define an annular passage for the product on at least a portion of the conduit.
  • the actuating means may be rotatable about the X axis between the first and second positions.
  • the dispensing head may comprise at least two radial stops limiting the rotational movement of the actuating means.
  • the dispensing head may comprise sound identification means for signaling the positioning in one or the other of the first and second positions.
  • the sound identification means may be constituted by the cooperation of a first relief formed on the actuating means and a second relief, the first relief being suitable, during the displacement of the actuating means with respect to the duct, to come into contact with the second relief and to cross it by deforming it elastically so as to produce a sound signal. The user can thus ensure that the head is put in one or the other of the positions, and in particular in the storage position.
  • the dispensing head may also include visual identification means for identifying the first and second positions.
  • the dispensing orifice may be defined by an attached nozzle or an attached grid for dispensing a foam product.
  • the container may be pressurized and the dispensing member may be a male valve comprising a valve stem on which the conduit is fitted, or a female valve, that is to say without valve stem, in which is fitted the conduit.
  • the container is at atmospheric pressure and is equipped with a pump.
  • the invention is particularly useful for the packaging and dispensing of a cosmetic or care product, especially a deodorant product.
  • the invention further relates, independently or in combination with the foregoing, to a package for packaging and dispensing a product according to claim 22.
  • the term "deodorant product” any product containing a composition capable of reducing the flow of sweat, mask, absorb, improve and / or reduce the unpleasant odor resulting from the decomposition of human sweat by bacteria .
  • the packaging and distribution package illustrated on the Figures 1 to 7 is formed of a pressurized container 30 on which is fixed a dispensing head 1 according to the invention.
  • the container 30 is formed by a pressurized canister X axis, formed by a cylindrical body 31 of revolution, the upper end is closed by a cup 32 set on a rolled edge 33 of the container.
  • the cup 32 is provided with a valve 34 which has a hollow valve stem 35 and which can be actuated for example by depressing the valve stem. It is obvious that one can alternatively use a valve that can be actuated by tilting of the valve stem.
  • the container 30 may contain a product to be sprayed, for example a cosmetic product, and a propellant, which may or may not be stored in liquefied form in the container 30 and may or may not be delivered with the product.
  • the product then exits in the form of a spray, that is to say in the form of fine particles in suspension either in the gas or in the air.
  • the dispensing head 1 is also X-axis and is formed of two parts movable relative to each other between two positions, a first position for dispensing the product and a second storage position in which the product does not can be distributed.
  • the first part of the head consists of a hoop 10 for protecting the valve stem and intended to be fixed on the container.
  • the second part consists of a push button 20, allowing the actuation of the valve and which is rotatable relative to the hoop.
  • Each of the two pieces is obtained by molding a thermoplastic material from a single piece.
  • the hoop 10 comprises a fastening skirt 11 for fixing the head on the container.
  • the fixing skirt 11 is provided with an annular bead 110 on its inner wall making it possible to fix it on the container by snapping under the rolled edge 33 of the container and the cup 32.
  • the fixing skirt 11 has a radial recess 111 towards the inside the skirt and extends axially above the recess to an upper end from which is formed a transverse wall 12.
  • Radial fins 13, angularly spaced on the periphery of the inner surface of the fixing skirt, s extend parallel to the X axis from the recess 111 to a lower free edge 130.
  • the free edge 130 is provided to abut against the container in the mounted position of the hoop on the container, as seen on the Figures 4, 5 and 7 .
  • the fins 13 thus make it possible to limit the axial depression of the hoop when it snaps onto the container.
  • the transverse wall 12 is a thin wall which has a corrugation so that it is elastically deformable which allows it to deform when the axially solicits.
  • the wall 12 is traversed at its center by a conduit 14 formed in the X axis.
  • the conduit 14 extends on either side of the transverse wall 12 from an open lower end 14a which is engaged on the valve stem 35, to an upper end 14b, also open, on which comes s to press an axial skirt 23 of the push-button.
  • An annular groove 14c is provided on the outer surface of the conduit 14 to receive an annular bead 23a provided on the inner surface of the axial skirt 23 of the push button to ensure the axial retention of the push button on the hoop.
  • the cooperation of the annular bead 23a with the annular groove 14c ensures a seal between the conduit and the inside of the push button.
  • the duct 14 has a cylindrical shape of revolution and defines in its lower part a shouldered housing in which the upper part of the valve stem 35, whose upper end 35a abuts against the shoulder, can be substantially sealingly engaged. housing.
  • the lower end 14a of the channel flares slightly to facilitate the introduction of the conduit on the valve stem.
  • the upper end 14b has an axial slot 15a which defines a passage for moving the product.
  • the fastening skirt 11 is connected at the recess 111, by an annular transverse wall 16, to an outer skirt 17, concentric with the fastening skirt 11.
  • the outer skirt 17 is intended to form the extension of the wall of the container when the dispensing head is mounted on the container.
  • Two marks M are provided on the outer surface of this skirt 17 which visually indicate the angular positions of the slot 15a and the closed position.
  • a first mark M is for example the word "ON" which corresponds to the position of the slot 15a and thus which allows a distribution of the product
  • a second mark M is for example the word "OFF" which corresponds to the storage position .
  • annular transverse wall 16 of the ferrule is traversed by two arcuate openings 18 and 19, diametrically opposed on the annular transverse wall formed near the outer skirt 17, and in which are intended to move two legs of the push button, as will be seen in detail later.
  • the first opening 18 is formed on the side of the axial slot 15a of the conduit and the second opening 19 is formed at the rear of the axial slot 15a.
  • the second opening in an arc of circle 19 ends, near one of its ends, by an opening portion 19a which extends radially inwardly the opening 19.
  • the opening portion 19a is formed according to the diameter passing through the axial slot 15a.
