Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a pump for dispensing liquid products without air intake and more particularly low doses of cosmetics, perfumes or pharmaceuticals.
  • Distributors of this type such as the one described in US 3,752,366 , comprise a push-button provided with a spray nozzle which communicates with a network of channels arranged locally on the wall of a frustoconical bore and a body provided at its upper part with a proportioning chamber with an elastically deformable wall and at its lower part, an intake flap.
  • the various functions of the pump such as, in particular, sealing, compression, the elastic return of the piston, the dosage, are provided by separate parts that are often made with different materials, some of which have proved to be incompatible with the products, is likely to degrade the properties of the product during a residence time or prolonged contact with it.
  • the present invention aims to solve these problems satisfactorily.
  • this pump comprises an axial rod, carried by said button which extends through said body and whose lower part, provided with at least one longitudinal groove, is slidably engaged in a supply duct extending said cell forming the inlet valve.
  • the upper edge of said duct is provided with an annular sealing lip coming into contact with said rod.
  • said rod is made in one piece with said button.
  • said inclined face of the flange of the cell forms with the wall of the bore of the button, a peripheral exhaust groove delimited radially by a flexible lip forming a valve.
  • said rod is an independent piece provided, at its upper part, with a central cavity intended to receive a centering pin carried by said button and a sealing ring bearing against the inner periphery of the flange of said cell forming an exhaust valve.
  • said ring is provided with a lower rib bearing tightly against an annular flange formed on the inner periphery of said collar.
  • said ring carries, preferably, teeth cooperating with notches formed on the inner wall of the bore of the button.
  • said body comprises, at its lower part, a socket for attachment to a tank.
  • said bushing comprises a support shoulder on said tank and at least one lug forming a bottom stop for said collar during the deformation of said cell.
  • said button comprises a lateral skirt inside which said body is housed.
  • said cell is made in the form of a cylindrical bag with bellows.
  • said body is extended downwards by a plug tube connected to said intake valve.
  • the pump of the invention allows to group the functional elements on a very small number of parts or even on the single pump body.
  • the axial rod provides valve function for both the intake and exhaust of the product, which ensures a high level of sealing and a good synchronization of the opening and closing phases.
  • This pump is, in addition, devoid of metal element and can be made with a single plastic material and compatible with the biological and / or chemical properties of the product.
  • this assembly can be easily automated without the need to index the parts relative to each other.
  • the pump shown in the figures is intended for distribution without air intake, perfume samples, cosmetics or even low doses of liquid pharmaceutical products.
  • a tank R which can be glass or plastic on which is mounted the pump of the invention.
  • This pump comprises a push-button 1 provided with a spray nozzle P.
  • the nozzle P comprises an ejection orifice which communicates with a network of channels C formed locally on the wall of a frustoconical internal bore 10 visible in particular on the figure 3B .
  • the pump of the invention also comprises a body 2 housed inside a side skirt 11 carried by the button 1.
  • This body is provided, at its upper part, with a dosing cell 20 whose wall is elastically deformable so that it can return to its original shape after being compressed.
  • the cell 20 is made in the form of a cylindrical gusseted pocket equipped, on the one hand in the lower part, with an inlet valve and surmounted, on the other hand, by a rigid collar 23 for fixing in the bore 10 of the button 1.
  • the flange 23 has, on its outer periphery, an inclined face 23a which delimits, facing the network of channels C, a swirl chamber opening out through the nozzle P.
  • the flange 23 has, on its inner periphery, a passage for the product of the cell 20 towards the vortex chamber, consisting of at least one upper peripheral portion 12.
  • the intake valve consists of an axial rod 3 carried by the button 1 and which extends through the body 2.
  • the rod 3 moves with the button 1.
  • the lower part of the rod 3 is provided with at least one longitudinal groove 31 and is slidably engaged in a supply conduit 21 extending the cell 20 downwards.
  • the conduit 21 is connected to a gripping tube 4 whose lower end is immersed in the product.
  • the upper edge of the duct 21 is provided with an annular sealing lip 21a radially in contact with the rod 3 above the level of the groove 31.
  • the body 2 also comprises, at its lower part, a socket 22 for fixing in or on the neck of the tank R.
  • the bushing 22 is made either in the form of a plug intended to be introduced with radial clamping inside the neck ( Figures 2 and 3 half-views straight), either in the form of a capsule coming snap on the neck from the outside ( Figures 2 and 3 left half-views).
  • the bushing 22 has a support shoulder 24 on the neck of the tank R and at least one lug 25 forming a low stop for the collar 23 during the deformation of the cell 20 (see FIG. figure 4D ).
  • the side skirt 11 of the button 1 has, on its inner wall, a peripheral projection 11a ensuring the snapping and retaining the shoulder 24 and thus the maintenance of the body 2 inside the button 1.
  • the rod 3 is made in one piece with the button 1.
  • the inclined face 23a of the flange 23 forms, with the wall of the bore 10, a peripheral outlet groove of the product delimited radially by a flexible lip 23b forming a valve.
  • the resistance of the lip 23b yields, during dispensing, when, by deformation of the cell 20, the pressure within the product reaches a certain threshold. The product is then expelled to the vortex chamber via the peripheral groove.
  • the rod 3 is formed as an independent piece provided, at its upper part, with a central cavity 30 intended to receive, with a slight axial clearance, a centering pin 13 carried by the button 1.
  • the rod 3 also carries a sealing ring 32 forming an exhaust valve.
  • the ring 32 comes into sealing engagement, at the bottom, against the inner periphery of the collar 23 which has, for this purpose, a flange 23c visible in particular on the figure 3A .
  • the lower face of the ring 32 will be provided with an annular rib 32a which ensures contact with the flange 21b.
  • the ring 32 carries teeth 33, here three in number, with beveled end 33a cooperating with corresponding notches 14 formed on the inner wall of the bore 10.
  • the notches 14 have an inclined outer facet allowing the guided movement of the end of the teeth 33 when pressing the button.
  • the teeth 33 will have a capacity for elastic deformation or elastic flexion in the stress range considered.
  • FIGS. 4A to 4E applied to the variant of figures 3 and 3A .
  • the Figure 4A corresponds to the distributor's rest position.
  • the inlet valve is open because the groove 31 of the rod 3 is opposite the lip 21a thus providing communication between the cell 20, the conduit 21 and the tube 4.
  • the Figure 4B corresponds to the initial phase of the distribution, the user beginning to exert manual pressure on the upper face of the button 1 to compress the cell 20.
  • the upward stroke of the rod 3 and thus the opening flow of the exhaust valve can be increased, if necessary giving the teeth 33 a certain flexibility. Rapidly, the rod 3 is depressed at least until the upper edge of the groove 31 passes below the level of the lip 21a thus closing the inlet valve and isolating a dose of product in the cell 20.
  • the figure 4C corresponds to the spraying phase of the product dose.
  • buttons 1 Continuing manual support on the button 1 causes the deformation of the cell 20 and the compression of the product which escapes to the outside via the exhaust valve by exerting a thrust on the lower face of the ring 23, then via the upper peripheral passage 12, the channel network C, the swirl chamber and finally the nozzle P.
  • the figure 4D corresponds to the end of the spraying.
  • the figure 4E corresponds to the return of the pump to its rest position. Releasing the pressure on the button 1 causes the cell 20 to relax in the manner of a return spring.
  • This expansion of the cell 20 causes the rise of the rod 3 with holding the exhaust valve in the closed position and suction of the product in the tank R via the tube 4 and the conduit 21.
  • the filling of the metering cell 20 is carried out by suction of product as soon as the groove 31 exceeds the level of the lip 21a of the inlet valve and until abutment of the projection 11a of the button 1 against the shoulder 24 of the socket 22 of the body 2.
