Definitions

  • the invention relates to a push pump for liquid or slightly pasty product, in particular a cosmetic product. It aims in particular a new design of this type of pump with a very small number of components and thus to reduce manufacturing costs.
  • French Patent No. 94 12460 discloses a pusher pump comprising a metering chamber defined in a pump body, arranged between two valves; a check valve allowing the suction of the product in the chamber and a discharge valve opening to allow the evacuation of the product at the time of actuation of the pusher.
  • a pusher pump comprising a metering chamber defined in a pump body, arranged between two valves; a check valve allowing the suction of the product in the chamber and a discharge valve opening to allow the evacuation of the product at the time of actuation of the pusher.
  • Such a device works satisfactorily but has a large number of parts, so it is expensive to manufacture and is justified only for the distribution of a luxury product, such as a brand perfume.
  • a simpler device is sought that includes a minimum number of components.
  • US-A-4,776,498 discloses a piston pump whose pusher is provided with a rod movable axially in a piston channel and on which the action of an internal elastic means is exerted.
  • this elastic means is generally a metal spring which is in contact with the product inside the channel. The invention makes it possible to solve the technical problems posed by the prior art.
  • the invention relates to a push pump according to the rev. 1.
  • the pusher comprises an inner skirt, while the piston comprises a sliding portion adapted to slide along this skirt.
  • This arrangement makes it possible to define the abovementioned abutments in the inner skirt, on the one hand, and at one end of the sliding portion of the piston, on the other hand.
  • the piston can be actuated by said pusher only when said free end of the central rod is disengaged from the channel, it is possible for example to ensure that the sliding friction between said piston and said body is greater than the sum sliding friction between said piston and said rod, on the one hand, and between said piston and said inner skirt of the pusher, on the other hand.
  • the channel defined above is of course the one that allows the evacuation of the product. It opens into a cavity of said pusher communicating with an outlet duct.
  • the pump 11 essentially comprises a pump body 12, a pusher 14, a piston 16 and an elastic means 18 constituted here by a helical spring mounted with precompression Initial between the pump body and the pusher.
  • a metering chamber 20 is defined in the pump body. It communicates with a suction duct 22 via a check valve 24. It comprises a ball 26 trapped and movable in a cavity 28 extending between the suction duct 22 and the metering chamber 20
  • the cavity 28 comprises a frustoconical seat 30 on which the ball can come to bear.
  • Peripheral ribs 34 extending radially are defined between the cavity and the metering chamber; they prevent the ball from entering said metering chamber.
  • the piston 16 slides in the body and, more particularly, in the metering chamber 20. It forms a mobile part of this chamber and its position makes it possible to vary the volume thereof.
  • the end of the piston 16, on the side of the metering chamber 20 is slightly flared so as to come into rubbing contact with the wall of the chamber 20 only in the vicinity of its circular edge 36.
  • the piston is traversed axially by a channel 38 which opens at one of its ends in the metering chamber and at its other end in a cavity 40 formed between the piston and the pusher. This cavity communicates with an outlet duct 41 through which the product is dispensed.
  • the pump body 12, the piston 16 and, essentially, the pusher 14 (if the duct 41 is ignored) admit an axis of symmetry of revolution 42.
  • the pusher 14 is internally provided with a rod. central 46 engaged axially inside said channel 38. Depending on the position of the pusher relative to the piston, said rod 46 can move axially inside the channel. Its diameter is smaller than that of the channel to define an annular space 50 through which the product can flow from the metering chamber to the cavity 40. However, the free end 54 of the rod, adjacent to the chamber of dosage is enlarged and shaped to close the channel 38 in the vicinity of its communication port with said chamber 42.
  • the piston 16 and the pusher 14 are unidirectionally coupled by cooperating stops 56, 58 and the elastic means 18 constituted the spring is exerted on the piston via this unidirectional link, in a direction tending to increase the volume of the metering chamber.
  • the pusher 14 has an inner skirt 60, while the piston 16 has a sliding portion 62 adapted to slide along said skirt.
  • said sliding portion 62 is constituted by an outer skirt of the piston in sealing contact and slightly rubbing with the inner cylindrical surface of said skirt 60 of the pusher.
  • the stops 56, 58 are respectively defined in the inner skirt 60 and at one end of said sliding portion 62, that is to say here the annular end of the skirt of the piston.
  • the pusher has an internal actuating stop 64 located opposite end 66 of the piston farthest from the metering chamber.
  • the stop 64 is at a distance from the end 66 when said piston is in a rest position. This rest position (shown in the drawing) corresponds to the maximum volume of the dosing chamber 42.
  • the pump body 12 and the pusher 14 comprise two cylindrical lateral skirts 68, 69 sliding one inside the other and having abutments 70, 71 defining a stable relative position between them, under the stress of the spring forming the elastic means.
  • the side skirt 68 of the pump body extends the metering chamber 42, it has a greater diameter than that of said chamber.
  • the lateral skirt 69 of the pusher constitutes the outer wall of the latter. It has a diameter greater than that of the skirt 60 which cooperates with the piston and surrounds it completely. Consequently, an annular chamber 74 of variable volume is defined between the outer wall of the piston 16 and the skirt 60, on the one hand, and between the two lateral skirts 68, 69 of the body and the pusher, on the other hand.
  • This room is at atmospheric pressure. It encloses the spring which is thus isolated from the product.
  • a vent bore 76 is formed in the wall of the metering chamber of the pump body in the vicinity of the edge 36 of the piston when the latter is in the aforementioned rest position.
  • the opening of said vial abuts against a flat annular wall 78 extending between the metering chamber and the skirt 68 and the vent bore 76 opens into the inside. of the bottle.
  • the face of the piston cooperating with the actuating abutment 64 comprises radial ribs 80 or the like allowing the passage of the product even when said actuating stop is in contact with the end of the piston.
  • the assembly as just described is arranged such that the piston can be actuated by said pusher only when said free end 54 of the central rod 46 is disengaged from said channel 38, that is to say say when the valve defined between the piston and the central rod is open and allows the evacuation of the product.
  • the sliding friction between the piston 16 and the body 12 is greater than the sum of the sliding friction between the piston 16 and the rod 46, on the one hand, and between the piston 16 and the inner skirt 60 pusher, on the other hand.
  • the operation is as follows. Upon actuation of the pusher 14, compressing the spring, the end 54 of the rod 46 slides relative to the piston by engaging in the metering chamber 42 filled with product. In doing so, the outlet valve of the metering chamber opens, allowing the flow of the product in the channel 38. As soon as the stop 64 comes into contact with the piston, the vent hole 76 enters into communication With the annular chamber 74. Therefore, the interior of the container is brought to atmospheric pressure. Then, the piston 16 continues its course, the product is discharged through the outlet pipe of the pusher because the ball 26 rests on the seat 30 and closes the bottom of the cavity 28 preventing the product from returning to the tank. After evacuation of the product, the pusher 14 is released and goes up by itself under the action of the spring.
  • the outlet valve closes because the end 54 of the rod returns to the sealing position inside the channel 38.
  • a vacuum is created inside the metering chamber; which raises the ball 26 and opens the passage to the product that is sucked into said metering chamber.
  • the communication of the vent hole 76 with the chamber 20 is cut at the end of the piston rise stroke when said metering chamber returns to its maximum volume, which restores the overall tightness of the system.
