Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a pressurized container for the dispensing of viscous products, this container having a dispensing valve that provides for the output of the product a large section of the outflow.
  • a pressurized container for dispensing a viscous product comprising a container equipped with a dispensing valve, said valve comprising a valve pot fixed to the container by crimping and a valve which is secured to a distribution duct movable in translation sealingly relative to the valve pot; the valve is subjected to the action of a spring and cooperates with a seat carried by the valve pot to ensure the closure of the valve under the action of the spring; for the opening of the valve, the compression of the spring can be obtained by a lever whose hinge point is integral with the valve pot and whose point of action is integral with the distribution stack.
  • the product to be dispensed is ejected out of the container passing between the valve and its seat and through the distribution shaft. It is possible, without difficulty, to increase the diameter of the distribution stack, on the one hand, to reduce the pressure drop at the passage of the product and, on the other hand, to increase the flow rate of the distribution.
  • the only place where a significant loss of pressure occurs is the passage between the valve and its seat; the valve can be sufficiently far from its seat, at the opening by compression of the spring, and, as a result, the head loss at this location is a function of the diameter of the valve seat, which is limited only by the size of the crimping bead, which ensures the fixing of the valve.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to propose, to solve the above problem, a container having a dispensing valve of the same type as described above; the solution of the problem arises from the fact that the maneuvering of said valve is carried out by means of a rotary actuator, which eliminates the disadvantage of the protruding lever of the previously known system mentioned above, while retaining the advantages relative to low distribution losses.
  • the operation of the actuator of the container according to the invention is appreciated by the users in terms of gestures and requires only a small effort for the opening control because of the reduction that provides the use of a system of helical ramps.
  • the container proposed by the invention allows a safety distribution, especially for the case where the viscosity of the product would be accidentally reduced, for example in the case of ice cream by temperature increase: indeed, in such a case, according to the invention, it suffices that the user releases the action of his fingers on the rotary actuator so that the distribution stops by closing the valve under the action of a spring whose strength may be important given the reduction obtained by the helical ramps as above indicated.
  • the present invention therefore relates to a pressurized container for dispensing a viscous product, said container comprising a container equipped with a dispensing valve, said valve comprising a valve pot fixed on the container and a valve, which is secured a distribution duct movable in translation sealingly relative to the valve pot and which is subjected to the action of a spring, said valve cooperating with a seat carried by the valve pot to ensure the closure of the valve under the action of the spring, the compression of the spring being obtainable for the opening of the valve by actuating means operable by a user, said actuating means acting on the distribution duct bearing on the container so that the product to be dispensed is ejected from the container through the valve and the distribution stack, characterized in that, on the one hand, the dispensing chimney in externally, on the side opposite the valve, at least one helical ramp of the same axis as the valve and that, on the other hand, the operating means is a rotary collar fixed in translation relative to the container, said collar
  • the collar (s) of the collar is (are) displaceable (s) substantially radially relative to their (s) helical ramp (s) support, between a first position, in which there is cooperation of the nipple with its associated ramp under the effect of a user action, and a second position, in which there is no nipple / ramp cooperation;
  • the collar is preferably constituted by a base fixed on a hooking means of the container and a nipple support (s); the collar can carry two diametrically opposed studs and the nipple support (s) may comprise, for each pin, an elastic arm, futilizer can act simultaneously on the two elastic arms to cause the nipple / ramp cooperation.
  • the distribution stack has an axis of revolution and the two helical ramps are symmetrical with respect to said axis; each of the elastic arms of the collar can be connected at one of its ends to the base and carry at its other end a nipple.
  • the zone of the container, where the valve is fixed is of revolution about an axis and that the means for fastening the container or a crimping bead of revolution about said axis, said bead ensuring the connection between the container and a crimping flange of the valve pot.
  • the distribution stack consists of two coaxial cylindrical parts, one being a valve holder, which is integral with the valve and slides in a sealed manner in the valve pot, the other constituting a dispensing nozzle which forms a liner inside the valve holder;
  • the valve-holder may comprise a peripheral collar, the spring being a helical spring disposed between said collar and the bottom of a cylindrical zone in the thimble of the valve pot, the sliding of the valve-holder being guided relative to the pot of valve by the wall of the thimble which is closest to the axis of the chimney, a seal being provided between the valve-holder and said wall of the thimble.
  • the dispensing nozzle may carry the two helical ramps of the distribution stack externally and to have a cylindrical housing in a glove finger, which fits on the portion of the valve holder situated on the side of its collar where not find the flap;
  • the flange of the valve holder may comprise at least one notch, which receives a tab integral with the dispensing nozzle, said tongue ensuring a removable fastening snap between the dispensing nozzle and the valve holder, to allow the separation of said tip.
  • the distribution duct and the valve pot can be locked in rotation relative to each other by a device with grooves and ribs parallel to the axis of said chimney;
  • the valve pot may internally comprise two pairs of diametrically opposed ribs and the distribution stack may comprise, at its periphery, two pairs of corresponding grooves; the tongue of the dispensing nozzle can be positioned between the two grooves of a pair of grooves of the distribution chimney.
  • the collar carries, on the inner face of its base, a boss coming to be placed in a window made in the valve pot, on the side of the crimping flange where the valve is not located; when the user prints a rotation to the collar, the boss comes out of his window by deformation of the base and the position of said window on the valve pot corresponds, when the boss is housed therein, at a position of the collar, wherein the two nipples are at the low points of the two helical ramps.
  • At least one helical ramp comprises, at its upper part, an abutment limiting the rotation of the collar: when by rotation of the collar, the studs come into contact with said stop, the maximum depression of the distribution pipe has been made and the valve, so the maximum opening of the valve which corresponds to the maximum flow of the container.

  • the nipples 14 b When the user presses the plates 14 c and exerts a rotation force on the collar 12, the nipples 14 b based on the helical ramps 71, 72, which causes the translation of the distribution stack towards the interior of the container 1; but the distribution stack can not rotate about its axis because of the cooperation of the grooves (17, 17 a ) with the ribs 18.
  • the slight boss 13b was housed in its notch 2 f , this which ensured that the nipples were at the right of the low point of the helical ramps 71, 72.
  • the important advantage of the container according to the invention is that the outlet of the product is carried out with very little loss of load since the only passage where the section is a little restricted is that which corresponds to the passage of the valve seat 5.
  • the pressure drop at the outlet of the product is therefore minimal, which makes it possible to dispense a product of high viscosity, such as an ice cream for example.
