Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fluid dispenser and a method of mounting the dispenser.
  • This is a manual dispenser that can be grasped with the help of a hand and pressing an actuating head (push) with a finger of the same hand .
  • This type of dispenser and frequently used in the fields of perfumery, cosmetics or even pharmacy to dispense a fluid product, such as a perfume, a lotion, a gel, a cream, etc.
  • the distribution of the fluid product can be carried out in the form of a spray (spray) or in the form of a net, a drop or a hazelnut.
  • this type of fluid dispenser comprises a dispensing member such as a pump, a reservoir for containing fluid, said reservoir comprising a cylindrical shaft and a follower piston slidably mounted in said barrel.
  • the dispenser further comprising an annular cup having an integral outer periphery of the barrel and an inner periphery defining an opening of reduced section relative to the barrel section.
  • the useful volume of the tank is defined between the cup and the follower piston on a height of the drum.
  • This type of dispenser is commonly referred to as "airless", because there is no return of air inside the tank to compensate for the volume of fluid extracted by the dispenser member .
  • the useful volume of the reservoir decreases until the follower piston comes into contact with the cup. The volume is then zero or substantially zero.
  • An object of the present invention is precisely to ensure a mounting / filling of the distributor tank which ensures the absence of air trapped in the tank.
  • a known technique is to fill the tank and / or to mount the dispensing member on the tank in a sealed manner in a chamber where there is an air gap. This is the safest technique to ensure an airless filling of the tank.
  • this technique is expensive both economically and technically. Indeed, the distributor must go through different vacuum filling stations, which is a considerable investment, and which also significantly increases the assembly time of such a distributor.
  • the pump body is provided with a fastening flange intended to cooperate with a sleeve formed by the fastener.
  • the lower tubing of the pump body is sealingly engaged within the reduced section opening formed by the cup.
  • the fastener and the pump form a unitary assembly that is pre-assembled before being engaged inside the barrel of the tank.
  • it is first necessary to fill the barrel with the piston-follower in the low position. Then, the assembly is introduced into the barrel by sliding the outer bearing surface of the cup inside the barrel. The cup must slide in the barrel over a certain height to ensure a stable axial attachment of the fastener, and thus the pump, inside the barrel.
  • the cup engaged around the lower end of the pump body forms at its outer periphery a flexible sealing lip intended to come into sealing contact sealing inside the barrel.
  • the fluid product which is thus pressurized will also clear a passage between the flexible lip and the barrel by deformation of the flexible lip.
  • excess fluid can reach above the cup within the barrel. It is thus ensured that the reservoir contains only or virtually only fluid, all the air has been removed, and even a portion of excess fluid.
  • the dispensing member that is to say the pump
  • the pump is previously engaged in the cup so as to form a unitary entity. More specifically, it is the inlet pipe of the pump body which is fitted tightly in the reduced section opening formed by the cup.
  • the air and any fluid product in excess is forced to be evacuated between the outer bearing of the cup and the barrel.
  • the air and the excess fluid product are evacuated around the outer periphery or external bearing of the cup along the barrel.
  • EP-0 486 355 describes a fluid dispenser comprising a fluid reservoir defining a sliding barrel within which a follower piston is slidably mounted.
  • the dispenser also includes a cup engaged with the opening of the barrel and defining an opening of reduced section.
  • the distributor further comprises a pump assembly consisting of a pump associated with a pusher and a fixing ring secured to the pump by a crimping ring.
  • the lower end of the fixing ring is engaged in a sheath formed by the cup.
  • This sleeve extends concentrically around the opening of the cup.
  • the lower body of the pump which defines an inlet manifold, is disposed within the opening of the cup, without creating a seal.
  • the inlet pipe of the pump has a diameter much smaller than the internal diameter of the opening, of so that there remains an annular space between the tubing and the opening. There is therefore no sealing of the tubing of the pump in the opening of the cup.
  • the fluid product can spread in the fixing ring around the body of the pump passing through this annular space formed between the tubing and the opening.
  • the useful volume of the reservoir extends beyond the opening between the fixing ring and the body of the pump.
  • the document U.S. 5,509,584 describes a dispenser with a configuration similar to that of the document EP-0 486 355 .
  • the dispenser also comprises a tank, a cup and a pump.
  • the cup also forms a sleeve in which is engaged a fixing ring supporting the pump.
  • EP 1 091 809 discloses a method of mounting a fluid dispenser according to the preamble of claim 1, and also a fluid dispenser according to the preamble of claim 9.
  • the present invention aims to define another mounting technique to ensure a filling tank without air or virtually airless. Another object of the present invention is to ensure a total or almost total evacuation of air with a very low pressure drop. Yet another object of the invention is to ensure evacuation of air and / or fluid without additional specific means.
  • the present invention provides a method of mounting a fluid dispenser according to claim 1. It is thus used the opening of the cup to evacuate, chase or repress air still present in the reservoir and / or any excess fluid product.
  • the method also implies that the cup forming the opening is placed in the barrel before the engagement of the tubing of the dispensing member in the opening of the cup.
  • the evacuated volume corresponds only to the volume displaced by the engagement of the tubing in the opening. Since the opening has a reduced section relative to the section of the barrel and therefore the cup, the volume evacuated or displaced is small compared to the volume that would have displaced the cup, as is the case in the aforementioned European document of the prior art.
  • the reduced size of the opening allows a reduced volume of air or fluid to be evacuated. This is all the more striking as the engagement stroke of the tubing in the opening is relatively small. Indeed, the volume to be evacuated is equal to the section of the opening multiplied by the height of the engagement stroke of the tubing in the opening.
  • the method comprises a preliminary step of filling the reservoir through the opening of the cup.
  • This of course implies that the cup is placed in the barrel before filling the tank.
  • This advantageous characteristic can be implemented independently of the fact that the tubing of the dispensing member is engaged in the opening.
  • this method of filling through the opening of the cup can be implemented in a dispenser whose dispenser member does not necessarily engage in the opening with its lower inlet manifold.
  • the method comprises the preliminary steps of arranging the follower piston in the barrel so that the useful volume of the reservoir is substantially zero, and of injecting fluid through the opening for moving the piston-follower in the barrel and thus increase the useful volume of the tank filled substantially exclusively with fluid.
  • This filling technique ensures that there is initially no air or almost no air in the tank. Indeed, it is the fluid injection that forces the follower piston to move without creating a call for air, and since there was initially no air in the tank since its volume was zero, there can not be air in the tank filled with fluid.
  • This filling technique of course implies that the cup has been placed in the drum before filling. However, this technique can be implemented independently of the fact that the tubing of the dispenser member is fitted into the opening of the cup.
  • the method provides for filling the tank to the level of the opening so that there is virtually no air in the tank and then engage the tubing in the opening by driving back the remaining air and excess fluid from the reservoir around the tubing until the tubing comes into sealed contact in the opening.
  • filling to the brim or almost to the brim the tank to the upper edge of the opening of the cup it is guaranteed that there is no or almost no air in the tank. Subsequent engagement of the tubing thus has the effect of flushing an excess of fluid around the tubing out of the reservoir.
  • the method provides for filling the barrel from the follower piston to a certain height in the barrel and inserting the cup into the barrel until fluid product arrives in the opening of the cup, the engagement of the tubing in the opening discharging excess fluid from the reservoir around the tubing until the tubing comes into sealed contact in the opening .
  • the opening of the cup is not used as the filling orifice of the reservoir. It is the insertion of the cup into the barrel that will drive air from the tank through the opening until the fluid goes up into the opening. The subsequent engagement of the tubing will then have the effect of driving the excess fluid out of the tank.
  • the tubing when engaged in the opening, slides first without sealing in the opening to allow the excess fluid product located in the opening to be forced around the tubing and then comes into sealed engagement with the opening in a final mounting position.
  • the excess fluid product discharged during the engagement of the tubing in the opening is collected in a vented space communicating with the outside through a passage formed between the dispensing member and receiving means in which the dispensing member is received in non-sealed engagement.
  • the excess fluid product discharged during the engagement of the tubing in the opening is collected in an enclosed space isolated from the outside by the sealing engagement of the dispensing member in receiving means.
  • the collection space whether vented or isolated, allows the storage of a certain amount of fluid that has spurted out of the opening during the engagement of the tubing. This space, even when it is stale, is not open wide outward so the excess product fluid that has sprayed stays inside the stale space. It should be noted that this space, even when vented is perfectly sealed against the tank by sealing engagement of the tubing in the opening.
  • the cup is made integrally with the barrel. In this case, the filling of the tank is necessarily done through the opening of the cup.
  • the outer periphery of the cup slides sealingly in the barrel away from the follower piston during sealing engagement of the tubing in the opening. In this case, it is not necessary that the tubing slides initially without sealing in the opening. During all the tight sliding of the tubing in the opening, the cup can slide in the barrel away from the follower piston, to ensure the constancy of the useful volume of the reservoir.
  • the tubing of the dispensing member is pre-assembled in an unsealed manner in the opening of the cup before the insertion of the cup into the drum to allow the fluid to be forced back between the tubing and the opening, the tubing coming to the final mounting position in sealed contact in the opening.
  • the dispensing member and the cup form a preassembled assembly which is engaged unitarily within the barrel.
  • the non-sealing between the tubing and the opening allows an evacuation of trapped air and even an excess of fluid if any.
  • the invention also relates to a fluid dispenser comprising evacuation means to allow delivery of fluid and / or air out of the reservoir between the tubing and the opening of the cup.
  • the evacuation means comprise at least one vent passage between the tubing and the opening which communicates the inside of the reservoir with the outside, sealing means being provided for cutting said at least one passage into final mounting position of the tubing in the opening so as to isolate the tank sealingly.
  • the vent passage (s) allow evacuation of air and possibly product fluid in excess of the tank until the sealing means are cut off these vent passages and thus isolate the tank from the outside.
  • the dispenser member comprises an upper flange which projects radially outwards, said flange being engaged with receiving means for maintaining the dispensing member in a stable manner with respect to the barrel.
  • the lower pipe constitutes the lower end portion of the dispensing member while the collar forms one of the upper end portions of the body of the dispensing member.
  • the receiving means may be formed by the barrel.
  • the receiving means is formed by a fastener also forming the cup.
  • the collar is received in an unsealed manner in the receiving means, a vented space being thus created between the sealed engagement of the tubing in the opening and the non-tight engagement of the collar with the receiving means, this space for collecting the excess fluid discharged by the engagement of the tubing in the opening. It is also possible to provide a variant that the engagement of the collar in the receiving means makes a tight grip so that the space is isolated.
  • the body of the dispensing member is received in a fixing sheath forming the tubing and the collar.
  • the tubing and the flange are no longer directly formed by the body of the dispensing member.
  • the cup and the barrel are integrally formed.
  • the Figures 1 to 12 represent a first embodiment of a fluid dispenser according to the invention. Some variants are however possible without it being considered that this is another embodiment. In this case, the variant of figure 4 must be considered separately.

  • the fastener has been integrally integrated with the container 1 '.
  • the barrel 11 ' can be substantially identical to that of the first embodiment.
  • the container here is devoid of bottom so as to insert the follower piston 14 into the barrel 11 '.
  • the cup 32 ' may be identical to that of the first embodiment.
  • the cup 32 ' is here made with a sleeve provided with vent passages 325. This feature can also be integrated in the first embodiment, as mentioned above.
  • the rest of the fastener incorporated in the container 1 'can have a completely identical shape.
  • the container 1 ' is then in the form of a tube open at both ends with a cup 32' disposed inside.
  • the cup 32 ' forms an opening 20 which makes the two parts of the tube communicate.
  • the only noticeable difference between the two embodiments is that the bottom is absent on the figure 4 .
  • the tank is only filled with fluid, that is to say they do not contain ideally no air at all. In practice, it is virtually impossible that there is no air at all inside the tank. Therefore, one goal is to minimize the presence of air inside the tank.
  • the tank can first be filled through the opening 20 of the cup using the sleeve 321 for the adaptation of the filling nozzle. Alternatively, one can filling the tank while the fixing member 3 is not yet mounted in the container 1.
  • the follower piston 14 In the first technique of filling the reservoir through the opening 20, it is advantageous to initially dispose the follower piston 14 in contact with the cup 32, as can be seen in the Figures 3 and 4 .
  • the useful volume of the reservoir 10 is then zero since the follower piston 14 fits perfectly under the cup 32.
  • fluid can be injected against the follower piston 14 which will then move in the barrel 11 under the pressure of the fluid injected.
  • the useful volume of the reservoir will then increase until the stop of the injection of the fluid product. For example, it is possible to inject until the follower piston 14 comes into abutment against the bottom 12, as is the case on the figure 1 . We can also stop the injection before, as it is the case on the figure 5 .
  • the fluid reservoir is filled to the level of the sleeve 321, and preferably substantially to the level of the upper edge of the sleeve 321.
  • the reservoir 10 is filled to the brim.
  • the follower piston 14 is preferably initially placed in its lower position, for example in contact with the bottom 12
  • the filling nozzle then fills the tank 10 from the follower piston 14 to a certain height in the barrel 11.
  • the fastener 3 is engaged in the container 1.
  • the barrel 11 is filled with a quantity of fluid such as when the fastener 3 is engaged in the container 1 in the container 1, the fluid product is pushed into the opening 20 through the sleeve 321. Excess fluid can even be forced out of the sleeve 321 so as to be collected in the cup 32 around the sleeve 321. In this way, it is also guaranteed a complete filling of the tank only with fluid product excluding any air bubbles.
  • the pump 2 is mounted in the fixing member 3 by sealing engagement of its tubing 22 in the opening 20 and the sealing or non-sealing engagement of the collar 25 in the receiving housing 351.
  • the vent passages 221 or 325 the air possibly still present in the tank 10 before the engagement of the tubing in the sleeve 321 can be discharged from the tank through the vent passages during the engagement of the tubing in the sleeve 321. This evacuation is possible as long as the vent passages communicate the inside of the tank with the outside.
  • vent passages are obstructed so as to make a sealed engagement at the opening 20.
  • These vent passages certainly allow the evacuation of air possibly trapped in the opening 20, but also allow the discharge of an excess of fluid product located in the opening 20.
  • Advantageously filling the tank flush to the top of the sleeve 321, is guaranteed almost already the absence of air.
  • the final sealing position of the tubing 22 in the sleeve 321 is only possible when the fastener 3 is itself in the final mounting position in the container 1.
  • the pump 2 may be pre-engaged or pre-assembled in the fixing member 3 when the fixing member 3 is engaged in the container 1.
  • the fixing member 3 and the pump 2 constitute a pre-assembled assembly in the mounting position not definitive.
  • the pump 2 can be pre-assembled in the fastener 3 so that the tubing 22 is not sealingly engaged in the sleeve 321. This is quite possible because of the presence of the passages. vent.
  • the collar 25 may be prepositioned above its receiving housing 351. After filling the reservoir, the assembly can then be mounted on the reservoir, as can be seen on the figure 10 .
  • a pressure can first be exerted on the fixing member 3 by means of a press 5 provided with a bucket 51. This is visible on the figure 11 .
  • the press 5 then presses the pump 2 to mount it permanently in the fastener 3, this is represented on the figure 12 . It can clearly be seen that prior to this last step of mounting the pump in the fixing member, the possibly trapped air and excess fluid can be discharged from the tank 10 through the vent passages 221 which still make communicate the interior of the tank 10 with the internal space 23. This evacuation of air and / or fluid in excess is indicated by the arrow on the figure 11 .
  • the air and the fluid product discharged from the reservoir is advantageously collected in the internal space 23 which can be closed or vented depending on the sealed or non-sealed engagement of the flange 25 in the receiving housing 351.
  • the air possibly discharged out of the tank can also escape outwards around the flange 25.
  • the fluid product due to gravity and phenomena of surface tension remains adhered against the wall of the cup 32.
  • vent passages 221 or 325 thus constitute means for discharging air and / or fluid out of the tank. It is advantageous that this evacuation is carried out using the pipe 22, because it has a reduced section which thus allows a small amount of air or fluid to be evacuated. This is not the case if the cup 32 is used to evacuate the air and fluid during its engagement in the container 1, as is the case with the document EP 0 571 280 .
  • the dispenser comprises a receptacle 1 "also forming a barrel 11 inside which a follower piston 14 slides which may be identical to that of the preceding embodiment
  • the receptacle 1" also forms a neck 13 forming an external locking profile 131.
  • the container 1 also forms a bottom 12 pierced with through-holes
  • the distributor comprises a fixing member 3" engaged in the barrel 11 by the neck 13.
  • This fixing member 3 “comprises a cup 32 forming a sleeve 321 internally defining an opening 20.
  • This cup 32 is extended upwards by a sliding ring 34 slidably engaged inside the barrel 11.
  • the ring 34 forms a flap towards the outside 35 which bears on the upper end of the neck 13.
  • the reservoir 10 can be filled through the opening 20 by pushing the follower piston 14 towards the bottom as described above. is lying.
  • the dispenser comprises a pump 2 which may be the same or similar of the previous embodiment.
  • the pump 2 comprises a body 21 defining a lower inlet pipe 22 and an upper flange 25.
  • the pump also comprises an actuating rod 27 movable axially back and forth inside the body 21.
  • the pump 2 is here provided with a dispensing head 4 "having an outlet channel 421 which opens at a dispensing orifice 422.
  • the head may be capped with a cover 44.
  • the pump 2 is mounted in a fixing sheath 6 which surrounds the pump body 21.
  • the sheath comprises an upper snap-fitting housing 65 receiving the flange 25 and a lower cuff 61 in which The tubing 20 is also sealingly received.
  • the fixing sheath 6 forms a fastening collar 66 intended to engage with the fastening profile 131 formed outside the neck 13.
  • the cover 44 is engaged with the flange 66 of the sheath 6.
  • the figure 14 represents the distributor before mounting the assembly consisting of the sheath 6 and the pump 2 on the assembly consisting of the container 1 "and the fixing member 3".
  • the reservoir 10 is filled up to the level of the opening 20.
  • the closure of the reservoir is also achieved by the engagement of the tubing 22, or more precisely of the sleeve 61 which surrounds the tubing in an opening of reduced section relative to that of the barrel 11 in which slides the follower piston 14.
  • the sheath 6 stops before the tubing 22 so that it is the tubing 22 itself which engages in the opening 20.
  • the sheath is quite optional: the interesting feature lies in the fact that the fixing member 3 "can move by a piston effect inside the barrel 11 when it comes to engage the pump 2 in the opening 20.
