Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dispenser without air intake for the delivery of low doses of liquid products and, in particular, cosmetic or pharmaceutical products as defined in the preamble of claim 1.
  • these dispensers In the field of perfumes, these dispensers generally consist of miniature sprayers comprising a reservoir of small capacity (a few milliliters) equipped with a sampling member, such as a precompression pump or a valve which are intended to deliver a sample of produced in vaporized form by manual pressing on a push-button.
  • a sampling member such as a precompression pump or a valve which are intended to deliver a sample of produced in vaporized form by manual pressing on a push-button.
  • the indexing of the parts together to obtain the correct relative positioning during assembly is at the origin of many malfunctions.
  • the proportions of the sampling member are significant relative to the volume of the tank, especially when using a pump, which is detrimental to the consumer who has a reduced dose of product to be tested.
  • the object of the invention is to solve these technical problems satisfactorily.
  • a distributor characterized in that it comprises a first part comprising a spray nozzle which communicates with a network of channels arranged locally on the wall of a frustoconical internal bore and a second part comprising a deformable reservoir provided with a rigid collar for fixing in the bore of said first part, said collar having, on its outer periphery, an inclined face which delimits, with respect to said network of channels, a swirl chamber and forming, internally with the wall of said first piece, a peripheral exhaust groove delimited radially by a flexible lip forming inlet valve which is carried by said first or said second piece.
  • said flange comprises fastening elements cooperating with complementary elements carried by the wall of said bore to ensure the tight assembly of the two parts.
  • the flange of said second part has a symmetry of revolution.
  • the dispenser comprises an outer skirt, extending downwardly said first piece or being connected to the flange of said second piece to allow the dressing of said tank.
  • the skirt is elastically deformable to allow indirect manipulation of said reservoir.
  • said skirt has a peripheral groove for attachment to an outer packaging element.
  • said first piece has a concave upper face facilitating manual grip.
  • said reservoir consists of a flexible pouch shaped bellows.
  • the bottom of the tank is provided with an operating knob allowing axial compression.
  • the reservoir is provided with an internal boss capable of abutting against the wall of said first piece at the end of dosing.
  • the dispenser comprises a removable tongue cap for closing off said nozzle.
  • the dispenser of the invention is very compact and consists of only two parts whose structures are simple and easy to produce, for example by molding plastics.
  • the actuation mode of this dispenser is particularly ergonomic and offers a precise and metered spraying.
  • the dispenser shown in the figures is for spraying low doses of liquid products such as perfume samples or cosmetics.
  • the distributor comprises a first part 1 comprising a lateral nozzle 10 which communicates, via a conduit 11, with a network of channels 12 formed locally on the wall of a frustoconical internal bore 13, as shown in section on FIG. Figure 1B.
  • the dispenser also comprises a second part 2 comprising a deformable reservoir 21 here in the form of a flexible bag with bellows surmounted by a rigid collar 23 for fixing in the bore 13 of the first part 1.
  • the flange 23 is provided with fastening elements 24 cooperating with complementary elements, here in the form of a rod 14, carried by the wall of the bore 13 to provide a tight snap of the piece 1 in the room 2.
  • the flange 23 extends on the edge of the opening of the tank 21 by having a symmetry of revolution.
  • the flange 23 carries, on its outer periphery, an inclined face 22 delimiting, opposite the network of channels 12, a swirl chamber of the type of that described in the patent application. WO2004 / 089 783 .
  • the face 22 comes, by plating, sealingly close the channels of the network 12 after assembly of the two parts 1, 2.
  • the flange 23 comprises a wall adjacent to the face 22 which forms with the inner wall of the first part 1, a peripheral groove 25 for the passage of the pressurized product from the reservoir 21 and towards the vortex chamber.
  • the groove 25 communicates by sectorial vertical slots 16 with an annular space 17 formed, on either side of the swirl chamber, between the face 22 of the flange 23 and the inner wall of the bore 13 (see FIGS. 3D).
  • the groove 25 is delimited radially by a flexible annular lip 20 forming an intake valve for the exhaust circuit constituted, upstream downstream, of the groove 25, the crenellations 16, the annular space 17 and the chamber vortex.
  • the lip 20 is carried here by the flange 23 of the second piece 2, but it is possible, according to a variant of the invention (not shown), to make it integral with the first piece 1.
  • the first part 1 has a concave top face 15 for manual gripping with the index while the bottom 21 has the reservoir 21 is provided with an operating knob 26 for direct axial compression of the reservoir by means of the thumb.
  • the tactile support is facilitated by the presence of studs or concentric grooves 26a.
  • the reservoir is further provided with an internal boss 27 extending the button 26 inside and capable of abutting against the wall of the first piece 1 to optimize the dosage and the rate of return of the product.
  • the first piece 1 is extended downwards by an outer skirt 3 ensuring the dressing of the tank 21.
  • the skirt 3 has a peripheral groove 30 for attachment to an outer packaging element (not shown).
  • the dispenser may be equipped with a removable cap 4 with a gripping tab 40 intended to close off the spray nozzle (see FIG. 3A).
  • the outer skirt 3 is elastically deformable and connected here at the top to the collar 23.
  • the second piece 2 is thus provided with a double wall.
  • the manipulation of the reservoir 21 with a view to its compression can be carried out indirectly by crushing and / or lateral pinching of the skirt 3 which then resumes its initial shape by masking the deformed wall of the reservoir 21.
  • This variant also makes it possible to lengthen the proportions of the dispenser because the deformation of the reservoir is here lateral and not axial and to offer the consumer a traditional appearance and means of grip for this type of product.
  • the product flow is divided between the two symmetrical sections of the groove 25 and escapes in the direction of the vortex chamber which is fed from the space 17 by its two lateral inputs 12a, 12b.
  • the product is then accelerated by the channels 12 before being propelled outside in vaporized form via the nozzle 10.
  • the end of the metering is obtained when the boss 27 abuts against the piece 1 through the upper opening of the tank 21.
  • the dimensions and in particular the volume of the tank 21 as well as its capacity of deformation will be determined so that the end of stroke of the boss 27 corresponds to the delivery of a single and precise dose or, if necessary, of several doses of product.
