  • Wall tubular comprises an elastically deformable portion which, when the rod of valve is actuated and that the product from the container flows in the duct closed, stretches under the pressure of the product so as to roll back the rear portion of the tubular wall and the central core.
  • the central soul departs thus of the dispensing orifice so as to release it and to allow the exit of the product through the orifice.
  • the elastically deformable portion returns to its position initially due to its elasticity when the valve stem is no longer actuated.
  • the shutter avoids the product contained inside of the dispensing head does not degrade by contact with the air during a prolonged storage or dry and clogged the inner channel (s).
  • dispensing products in the form of self-foaming gel it avoids the expansion of the product in the form of foam at the outlet of the orifice while the dispensing member is no longer actuated.
  • the second end of the shutter can be a hemispherical surface.
  • a such shape allows the shutter to move away from the hoop when it has a tilting movement with respect to the hoop.
  • the second end of the shutter can have any other shape that allows it to deviate from the hoop, this shape being chosen according to the shape of the portion of the hoop located opposite this end and depending on the type of movement of the shutter relative to the hoop, namely a driving movement or failover.
  • the hoop may comprise a ramp located, especially when the shutter is in the second position, opposite the second end of the shutter.
  • the ramp makes it possible to gradually return the shutter to its position shutter.
  • the duct may be delimited by a tip of elongated shape along an axis X, the dispensing orifice can then be formed at a first end of the mouthpiece.
  • the tip may include a mounting skirt intended to be moved on the dispensing member so as to communicate the interior of the container with the dispensing orifice.
  • the tip may comprise a Y axis mounting shaft adapted to be fixed on the body so as to allow the pivoting of the tip relative to the hoop around the Y axis, the Y axis being perpendicular to the X axis.
  • the tip may comprise an elastic return tongue intended to come into elastic support on the inner wall of the hoop to limit tipping of the tip relative to the hoop, especially before it is put into operation. place on the container.
  • the shutter can be elongated in the form of a needle.
  • the first end of the shutter can have a complementary shape the shape of the orifice so as to seal it tightly.
  • the actuating element may comprise a lug adapted to bear on the tip in such a way that the thrust exerted by the user on the element actuation is transmitted to the dispenser member via the nozzle.

  • the hoop and the actuating element can be made in a monolithic.
  • the dispensing member may be a valve, the mounting skirt of the nozzle can then be fitted on a valve stem of the valve.
  • the valve may be of the trigger type by depressing the stem of valve.
  • the valve may be of the tripping type tilting of the valve stem.
  • the invention is particularly useful for packaging and dispensing a cosmetic or care product, for example a styling mousse.
  • the packaging and dispensing assembly illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 6 is formed of a pressurized container 60 on which is fixed a head of distribution 10 according to the invention.
  • the invention applies, of course, to the distribution of any product, in particular a liquid product, whatever its consistency, or even distribution simultaneous addition of several liquids or to the distribution of a gel, in particular a self-foaming gel or a cream.
  • the container 60 is formed by a pressurized can, formed by a body cylindrical 61 of revolution, whose upper end is closed by a cup 62 crimped on a rolled edge of the container.
  • the cup 62 is provided a valve which has a hollow valve stem 63 which can be actuated for example by tilting the valve stem. It is obvious that one can alternatively use a valve that can be actuated by depression of the valve stem.
  • the container 60 may contain a product to be sprayed, for example a product cosmetic, and an expander gas, which may or may not be stored under a liquefied form in the container 60.
  • the product then exits in the form of a foam.
  • the product could be delivered as a spray, that is to say in the form of fine particles in suspension or in the gas, either in the air.

  • the hoop 21 and the actuating element 30 are connected together. along an arc of a circle, by a connecting portion 32.
  • the portion of connection 32 forms a hinge along an axis around which, the element actuator 30 can pivot.
  • the circular wall 33 extends in the circular opening 24 of the body so that such that a space is formed between the flange 23 of the body and the circular wall 33, the space being large enough to allow the actuating element to move relative to the fret but small enough to avoid fouling of the inside of the head.
  • the wall 33 can have any other shape than circular, its form dependent in particular that of the opening formed in the hoop.
  • ribs 34 are advantageously provided to form a Finger grip area helps prevent fingers from sliding. It is not beyond the scope of the invention to provide any other roughness on the support surface to prevent fingers from sliding.
  • the actuating element 30 further includes a lug 35 on the surface inside the circular wall 33, substantially at its center, the pin 35 being intended to transmit the force exerted by the user on the support surface 33 at the valve.
  • the side wall 21 of the hoop comprises a thickness that varies gradually over its height so as to form a ramp 26 whose function will be detailed later.
  • the thickness of the wall varies evenly towards the lower edge of the wall between a maximum and a minimum.

  • the duct 41 is delimited by a surface of the mouthpiece of circular cross-section, said surface being provided with three ribs 49 regularly spaced as seen in Figure 6.
  • These ribs 49 whose function will be explained later, extend parallel to the X axis, on only a portion of the length of the conduit 41, preferably on the orifice 42.
  • the first end of the nozzle passes through the passage 25 formed in the wall 21 of the hoop so as to open the dispensing orifice to the outside of the body.
  • the tip 40 Opposite the orifice, the tip 40 is open over the entire section of the conduit.
  • a skirt 44 surrounding this end of the duct extends to a free edge 44a away from the dispensing orifice, the skirt 44 being intended for receive a shutter as we will see in detail later.
  • the tip 40 has a mounting shaft 46 formed near the dispensing orifice 42.
  • the mounting shaft 46 visible in particular in FIGS. 4 and 6, extends along a Y axis perpendicular to the X axis of the tip, on both sides of the 41.
  • the two ends 47 of the shaft are provided for housing each in the hole of the latches 27 being able to pivot around the Y axis relative to these legs 27.
  • the endpiece 40 is provided with a fixing skirt 45 extending perpendicularly to the X axis, the skirt 45 being provided for to slip on the valve stem 63.
  • the skirt 45 delimits a passage which opens into the conduit 41 which allows the dispensing orifice of communicate with the inside of the container, via the valve.
  • the tip 40 has an elastic return tongue 48, near the dispensing orifice 42 which is intended to bear on the internal surface of the side wall 21 of the hoop.
  • a tongue 48 allows in particular to prevent the tip 40 from tilting inside the front head that it is put in place on the container. The head can then more easily be mounted on the container as the fixing skirt intended to fit on the valve stem is substantially parallel to the side wall of the mounting band.
  • a shutter 50 is further provided inside the nozzle.
  • the shutter 50 is also of elongated form in the form of a needle whose section circular cross section is substantially constant throughout its length.
  • the cross section of the shutter 50 is chosen so that a gap 55 is between the shutter and the end piece so as to allow the product to move between these two rooms.
  • a space 55 of a few tenths of a millimeter is formed between the shutter and the tip on substantially the entire length of the nozzle, to an annular region 56 of the inner face of the second end of the shutter.
  • the space 55 extends substantially all around the tip except for the ribs 49 which, as seen in FIG. 6, are in contact with the shutter 50 so as to guide the shutter inside the nozzle in this position.
  • a first end of the shutter has a recess 51 for terminate with a point that follows the shape of the dispensing orifice 43, in the closed position, to close it tightly.
  • the second end of the shutter overflows the tip to end with a hemispherical surface 52.
  • the second end 52 is, at rest, intended to bear against the inner surface of the wall lateral body at a point. In the use position, the second end is intended to come next to the ramp 26.
  • the shutter 50 Near its second end, the shutter 50 has a skirt sealing 53 surrounding the elongated portion, the sealing skirt 53 being oriented towards the first end of the shutter.
  • the sealing skirt 53 is intended to come into sealing abutment on the inner surface of the end skirt 44 of the nozzle 40 along which it can slide sealingly.

  • the shutter 50 comes close shut sealing the distribution orifice 42. Indeed, the recess 51 formed at the first end of the shutter rests against the inner surface of the edge 43 delimiting the dispensing orifice. The shutter is held in this position shutter due to its hemispherical end 52 which abuts against the zone of the side wall 21 which is opposite the shutter.
  • the user actuates the valve by pressing the actuating element as shown in Figure 5. Pressing on the circular wall 33 of the actuating element, the pin 35 sinks to the inside of the head and presses on the tip 40 which pivots, as well as the shutter 50, around the axis Y. During this movement, the shutter 50 remains immobile inside the tip 40. The back of the tip and the shutter then tilt inside the head, moving relative to the wall 21 side of the hoop. The point of the hemispherical end 52 of the shutter which was in contact with the wall 21 thus deviates from said wall 21 of a slight distance. In addition, the end 52 of the shutter is also sinking slightly so that it is positioned next to a zone less thick of the ramp 26 which also helps to remove the shutter from the side wall of the hoop.
  • the tip 50 exerts pressure on the valve stem 63 which also switches to actuate the valve.
  • the product contained in the container then leaves the container through the inner channel of the valve stem and arrives in the fixing skirt 45.
  • the product can then flow through the space 55 formed between the shutter and the tip.
  • the first end of the shutter is still abutting against the edge 43 delimiting the orifice 42 of the nozzle while the second end 52 of the shutter is no longer in abutment against the side wall 21.
  • product pressure on the annular region 56 of the inner face of the second end of the shutter causes the shutter to move relatively at the tip which moves back to abut against the side wall 21, as it is shown in Figure 5.
  • the first end of the shutter departs at the same time the edge 43 defining the orifice of the nozzle so as to release on at least one annular portion and to distribute the product in form of a foam.
  • valve stem goes back and the distribution of the product is interrupted.
  • the valve stem makes reassemble the tip 40 and the actuating element 30, as well as the shutter 50.
  • the second end 52 of the shutter then moves along the ramp 26 of the side wall, so that the first end 51 returns gradually, without elastic return, close the orifice by chasing the residue of product that remains in the space 55 towards the orifice 42.
  • the second end 252 of the shutter can be a flat surface substantially parallel to the wall 221 side of the hoop in the rest position.
  • the side wall 221 of the hoop then has a ramp 226 located opposite the second end 252 of the shutter, with a thickness that gradually decreases towards the lower edge of the wall 221.
  • the end 252 comes opposite a less thick portion of the ramp located then away from the end 252. This position allows the decline of the shutter inside the mouthpiece under the pressure of the product.
