Description

DISPOSITIF DE DISTRIBUTION D'UN PRODUIT FLUIDE OU PATEUX.DEVICE FOR DISPENSING A FLUID OR PASTY PRODUCT.
La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de distribution d'un produit fluide ou pâteux, comportant un système de sécurité. Des dispositifs de distribution sont fréquemment utilisés dans le domaine de la parfumerie, de la cosmétique ou encore de la pharmacie pour distribuer des produits fluides ou pâteux par appui manuel à l'aide d'un doigt sur un poussoir. Pour des raisons de sécurité, il est souhaitable de pouvoir bloquer l'organe de distribution en position fermée, pour empêcher un actionnement non désiré de la valve ou de la pompe. En général, un capot amovible permet de protéger le poussoir lorsque le distributeur n'est pas en cours d'utilisation, mais de tels capots se retirent facilement et ne constituent donc pas une protection fiable pour le vaporisateur. Il est donc souhaitable qu'un utilisateur dispose d'une sécurité efficace et non séparable de l'organe de distribution, permettant de bloquer le dispositif lorsque celui-ci n'est pas utilisé, par exemple pendant un transport.The present invention relates to a device for dispensing a fluid or pasty product, comprising a security system. Dispensing devices are frequently used in the field of perfumery, cosmetics or even pharmacy to dispense fluid or pasty products by manual support with a finger on a pusher. For reasons of safety, it is desirable to be able to lock the dispenser member in the closed position, to prevent undesired actuation of the valve or the pump. In general, a removable cover protects the pusher when the dispenser is not in use, but such hoods are easily removed and therefore do not provide reliable protection for the vaporizer. It is therefore desirable for a user to have an effective and non-separable security of the distribution member, making it possible to block the device when it is not used, for example during a transport.
On connaît un dispositif de vaporisation comportant un système de sécurité par le document FR2803543. Le dispositif de vaporisation décrit par ce document comprend en outre un curseur à coulissement horizontal entourant le col du récipient et apte à prendre deux positions respectivement de distribution et de blocage, dans lesquelles il vient autoriser ou interdire le mouvement d'enfoncement du poussoir. Le curseur consiste en une tirette à deux languettes horizontales opposées aptes à coulisser dans des ouvertures d'un ensemble entourant la pompe. Ledit curseur est disposé entre le récipient et le poussoir. Le curseur comporte deux parois verticales en secteur cylindrique, aptes à venir au droit du poussoir afin d'empêcher sa translation. Lorsque le curseur est en position de blocage, la partie inférieure de la paroi verticale du poussoir est en appui sur la partie supérieure des parois du curseur, ce qui empêche la translation dudit poussoir en direction du récipient, donc Pactionnement de la pompe. Lorsque le curseur est en position de distribution, les parois du curseur sont décalées latéralement par rapport à la paroi du poussoir et permettent donc son actionnement. On connaît une autre solution par le document FR2589756. Le poussoir est muni de deux ailes de poussée diamétralement opposées par rapport à l'embout. Entre le poussoir et le récipient, deux bras axiaux diamétralement opposés sont disposés à la périphérie du récipient, de manière que la descente des ailes de l'embout, donc Pactionnement de la pompe, soit possible dans une position adaptée dudit poussoir et soit empêchée lorsque le poussoir est tourné de 90°.A vaporization device comprising a security system is known from FR2803543. The spray device described by this document also comprises a horizontal sliding slider surrounding the neck of the container and adapted to take two respectively distribution and locking positions, in which it comes to allow or prohibit the pushing movement of the pusher. The slider consists of a pull tab with two opposite horizontal tabs slidable in openings of an assembly surrounding the pump. Said slider is disposed between the container and the pusher. The cursor has two vertical walls cylindrical sector, able to come to the right of the pusher to prevent its translation. When the slider is in the locking position, the lower part of the vertical wall of the pusher bears on the upper part of the walls of the slider, which prevents the translation of said pusher towards the container, therefore the pump operation. When the slider is in the dispensing position, the walls of the slider are offset laterally relative to the wall of the pusher and thus allow its actuation. Another solution is known from FR2589756. The pusher is provided with two thrust wings diametrically opposite to the tip. Between the pusher and the container, two diametrically opposed axial arms are arranged at the periphery of the container, so that the descent of the wings of the nozzle, so pump operation, is possible in a suitable position of said pusher and is prevented when the pusher is rotated 90 °.
Toutefois, les moyens prévus pour le blocage du poussoir dans les dispositifs de distribution décrits dans ces deux documents sont relativement complexes et nécessitent l'utilisation de pièces supplémentaires coûteuses et compliquées à réaliser d'un point de vue industriel.However, the means provided for blocking the pusher in the dispensing devices described in these two documents are relatively complex and require the use of additional parts expensive and complicated to achieve from an industrial point of view.

En se référant à la figure 1, on voit un dispositif de vaporisation, comportant de façon classique un flacon 1, un récipient 2, un poussoir 3, un organe de distribution 4 et un capot 5.Referring to FIG. 1, there is seen a vaporization device, conventionally comprising a bottle 1, a container 2, a pusher 3, a dispensing member 4 and a cap 5.
Le récipient 2 est destiné à contenir un produit fluide, tel que du parfum, de l'eau ou un produit pharmaceutique. Le récipient 2 a une forme sensiblement cylindrique. Le récipient 2 comporte un goulot 7. Le bord inférieur du goulot 7 suit une rampe 8.The container 2 is intended to contain a fluid product, such as perfume, water or a pharmaceutical product. The container 2 has a substantially cylindrical shape. The container 2 comprises a neck 7. The lower edge of the neck 7 follows a ramp 8.
La rampe 8 est telle que la hauteur du goulot 7 n'est pas constante sur sa circonférence. La largeur de la rampe 8 est sensiblement égale à la différence entre le rayon du récipient 2 et le rayon du goulot 7.The ramp 8 is such that the height of the neck 7 is not constant on its circumference. The width of the ramp 8 is substantially equal to the difference between the radius of the container 2 and the radius of the neck 7.
L'extrémité 7b du goulot 7 comporte un anneau 9 en saillie extérieure radiale. Ledit anneau 9 étant apte à coopérer avec une bague d'étanchéité 10 d'une manière qui sera décrite en détail plus loin.The end 7b of the neck 7 has a ring 9 projecting radially outwardly. Said ring 9 being able to cooperate with a sealing ring 10 in a manner to be described in detail below.
L'extrémité 7b comporte une ouverture 7c destinée à insérer l'organe de distribution 4 dans le récipient 2.The end 7b has an opening 7c intended to insert the dispenser member 4 into the receptacle 2.
Le capot 5 a une forme sensiblement cylindrique. L'extrémité inférieure 5 a du capot 5 définit un orifice de diamètre supérieur au diamètre du goulot 7, de manière que le capot 5 soit apte à s'emboîter sur ledit goulot 7. Dans l'exemple de réalisation représenté, le capot 5 a un diamètre sensiblement égal au diamètre du récipient 2. Le capot 5 présente sur son bord inférieur une rampe 11. Le capot 5 présente un anneau 12 en saillie intérieure. Le capot 5 comporte une ouverture 13 (figure 4), par exemple de forme circulaire, ladite ouverture 13 étant apte à coopérer avec le poussoir 3 pour permettre la distribution d'un produit fluide, comme cela sera décrit en détail plus loin.The cover 5 has a substantially cylindrical shape. The lower end 5a of the cover 5 defines an orifice of diameter greater than the diameter of the neck 7, so that the cover 5 is adapted to fit on said neck 7. In the embodiment shown, the cover 5a a diameter substantially equal to the diameter of the container 2. The cover 5 has on its lower edge a ramp 11. The cover 5 has a ring 12 projecting inside. The cover 5 has an opening 13 (FIG. 4), for example of circular shape, said opening 13 being able to cooperate with the pusher 3 to allow the distribution of a fluid product, as will be described in detail below.
Le poussoir 3 a une forme sensiblement cylindrique et comporte de manière classique un orifice de distribution 14, par exemple de section circulaire. La surface 3 a radialement extérieure du poussoir 3 présente une ramure 15 annulaire. Ladite rainure 15 coopère avec l'anneau 12 de manière que le bord radial intérieur de l'anneau 12 soit encastré dans la rainure 15. La liaison entre la rainure 15 et l'anneau 12 est telle que le capot 5 et le poussoir 3 sont solidaires en translation et que le capot 5 peut tourner par rapport au poussoir 3 selon l'axe A, qui est l'axe médian du dispositif de vaporisation. Une rotation d'axe A du capot 5 par rapport au poussoir 3 entraîne une rotation d'axe A, de même sens et de même angle du capot 5 par rapport au récipient 2.The pusher 3 has a substantially cylindrical shape and conventionally comprises a dispensing orifice 14, for example of circular section. The radially outer surface 3 of the pusher 3 has an annular foliage. Said groove 15 cooperates with the ring 12 so that the inner radial edge of the ring 12 is embedded in the groove 15. The connection between the groove 15 and the ring 12 is such that the cover 5 and the pusher 3 are integral in translation and that the cover 5 can rotate relative to the pusher 3 along the axis A, which is the median axis of the vaporization device. A rotation of the axis A of the cover 5 with respect to the pusher 3 causes a rotation of axis A in the same direction and at the same angle of the cover 5 with respect to the container 2.
Les rampes 8 et 11 sont aptes à venir en contact sur une partie de leur longueur (figure 1) lorsque le capot 5 est dans une position angulaire adaptée par rapport au récipient 2, le capot 5 étant en position de repos, c'est-à-dire qu'il n'est pas appuyé vers le récipient 2, comme cela sera décrit en détail plus loin. Les rampes 8 et 11 sont aptes à définir entre elles et sur toute leur longueur un espace suffisant (figure 2) pour permettre Pactionnement de l'organe de distribution 4, lorsque le capot 5 est dans une position angulaire adapté par rapport au récipient 2, le capot 5 étant en position de repos, comme cela sera décrit en détail plus loin. Par exemple, ladite rampe l i a une forme complémentaire de la rampe 8 de manière que les deux rampes 8 et 11 soient aptes à venir en contact sur toute leur longueur.The ramps 8 and 11 are able to come into contact over part of their length (FIG. 1) when the cover 5 is in an angular position adapted with respect to the container 2, the cover 5 being in the rest position, that is, that is, it is not pressed towards the container 2, as will be described in detail below. The ramps 8 and 11 are able to define between each other and over their entire length a sufficient space (FIG. 2) to enable the dispenser member 4 to act, when the cover 5 is in a suitable angular position with respect to the container 2, the cover 5 is in the rest position, as will be described in detail below. For example, said ramp l i has a shape complementary to the ramp 8 so that the two ramps 8 and 11 are able to come into contact along their entire length.
Une tige creuse 16 (figure 4), qui est disposée perpendiculairement à l'axe A, traverse l'orifice de distribution 14. Ladite tige 16 a un diamètre égal au diamètre de l'orifice 14 et est fixée rigidement à l'orifice 14. Ladite tige 16 a une longueur telle que l'une des extrémités 16a de la tige est en contact avec l'ouverture 13 et que l'autre extrémité 16b de la tige 16 est fixée à un tube de sortie 17, qui est disposé verticalement au centre du flacon 1.A hollow rod 16 (FIG. 4), which is arranged perpendicularly to the axis A, passes through the dispensing orifice 14. Said rod 16 has a diameter equal to the diameter of the orifice 14 and is fixed rigidly to the orifice 14 Said rod 16 has a length such that one of the ends 16a of the rod is in contact with the opening 13 and that the other end 16b of the rod 16 is fixed to an outlet tube 17, which is arranged vertically in the center of the bottle 1.
Ledit tube 17 a par exemple un diamètre sensiblement égal au diamètre de la tige 16 et comporte un orifice 17a au niveau de l'extrémité 16b. L'extrémité 17b du tube 17 est fixée rigidement au poussoir 3. L'autre extrémité 17c du tube 17 est insérée dans l'organe de distribution 4. Le tube 17 peut par exemple comporter trois canaux qui convergent au niveau d'un point d'intersection. Le point d'intersection se situe dans le tube 17, par exemple à proximité de l'orifice de distribution 14. Lorsqu'une dose de produit est éjectée par l'organe de distribution 4 et qu'elle arrive par les trois canaux au niveau du point d'intersection, il se produit un éclatement des particules qui permet la vaporisation du produit.Said tube 17 has for example a diameter substantially equal to the diameter of the rod 16 and has an orifice 17a at the end 16b. The end 17b of the tube 17 is fixed rigidly to the pusher 3. The other end 17c of the tube 17 is inserted into the dispensing member 4. The tube 17 may for example comprise three channels converging at a point d 'intersection. The point of intersection is located in the tube 17, for example near the dispensing orifice 14. When a dose of product is ejected by the dispensing member 4 and it arrives through the three channels at the point of intersection there is a burst of particles that allows the product to vaporize.
L'organe de distribution 4, qui est ici une pompe ou une valve, comprend un corps de pompe 18 qui est placé dans le récipient 2. De manière classique, la pompe 4 comprend un piston (non montré) qui est apte à coulisser dans le corps de pompe 18. La bague 10 permet d'assurer une bonne étanchéité du dispositif.The dispensing member 4, which is here a pump or a valve, comprises a pump body 18 which is placed in the container 2. In a conventional manner, the pump 4 comprises a piston (not shown) which is able to slide in the pump body 18. The ring 10 ensures a good seal of the device.
La bague 10 a en outre pour but de maintenir l'organe de distribution 4 et de le fixer dans l'ouverture du récipient 2. Il s'agit d'une bague de fixation classique. La bague 10 est par exemple sertie sur le goulot 7. Lorsque la bague 10 est sertie, l'anneau 9 empêche une translation verticale vers le haut de la bague 10 par rapport au récipient 2. La bague 10 comporte un manchon 22, dont le bord inférieur est disposé au niveau de la périphérie intérieure de l'anneau de la bague 10. Le manchon 22 est engagé avec frottement sur le tube 17. Le manchon 22 permet en outre le guidage du tube 17 lors d'une translation du tube 17 selon l'axe A. La hauteur du manchon 22 est telle que le bord supérieur du manchon 22 est sensiblement au niveau du bord inférieur du poussoir 3 lorsque le poussoir 3 est en position de repos, c'est-à-dire lorsque aucune pression n'est exercée sur lui. Le diamètre extérieur du manchon 22 est tel que le manchon 22 est apte à être inséré avec frottement dans la jupe du poussoir 3. Le manchon 22 permet en outre d'assurer le guidage du poussoir 3 lors d'une translation verticale du poussoir 3 par rapport au récipient 2.The ring 10 is further intended to maintain the dispensing member 4 and fix it in the opening of the container 2. This is a conventional fixing ring. The ring 10 is for example crimped on the neck 7. When the ring 10 is crimped, the ring 9 prevents a vertical translation upwardly of the ring 10 relative to the container 2. The ring 10 comprises a sleeve 22, the lower edge is disposed at the inner periphery of the ring of the ring 10. The sleeve 22 is frictionally engaged on the tube 17. The sleeve 22 further allows the guiding of the tube 17 during a translation of the tube 17 along the axis A. The height of the sleeve 22 is such that the upper edge of the sleeve 22 is substantially at the lower edge of the pusher 3 when the pusher 3 is in the rest position, that is to say when no pressure is exercised on him. The outside diameter of the sleeve 22 is such that the sleeve 22 is able to be inserted with friction into the skirt of the pusher 3. The sleeve 22 furthermore makes it possible to guide the pusher 3 during a vertical translation of the pusher 3 by relative to the container 2.
Le vaporisateur comporte une bague de guidage 24. La bague 24 est apte à guider le poussoir 3, en coopération avec la bague 10, lors d'une translation verticale. La bague 24 est apte à guider le capot 5 lors d'une translation verticale. La bague 24 est apte à limiter la translation verticale du capot 5 en direction du récipient 2 en coopération avec l'anneau 12. La bague 24 a la forme d'un manchon et est insérée sur la bague de fixation 10 et sur le goulot 7. La bague 24 est solidaire de la bague 10 et du goulot 7. Le bord inférieur de la bague 24 suit la rampe 8. Le bord supérieur de la bague est orthogonal à l'axe A et se trouve sensiblement à la hauteur du bord inférieur du poussoir 3, lorsque le poussoir 3 est en position de repos. Le diamètre intérieur de la bague 24 n'est pas constant, de manière que la surface intérieure de la bague 24 soit, sur sa partie inférieure, en appui sur le goulot 7, sur sa partie centrale, en appui sur la bague 10 et sur sa partie supérieure qu'il existe un espace 25 entre la bague 24 et le manchon 22. L'espace 25 entre la bague 24 et le manchon 22 a la forme d'un puits, dont la largeur est telle que le poussoir 3 est apte à coulisser entre la bague 24 et le manchon 22, par exemple lors d'une opération de distribution. Le diamètre extérieur de la bague 24 est constant et tel que le capot 5 peut coulisser sur la bague 24 avec frottement.The vaporizer comprises a guide ring 24. The ring 24 is able to guide the pusher 3, in cooperation with the ring 10, during a vertical translation. The ring 24 is able to guide the cover 5 during a vertical translation. The ring 24 is able to limit the vertical translation of the cover 5 towards the container 2 in cooperation with the ring 12. The ring 24 has the shape of a sleeve and is inserted on the fixing ring 10 and on the neck 7 The ring 24 is integral with the ring 10 and the neck 7. The lower edge of the ring 24 follows the ramp 8. The upper edge of the ring is orthogonal to the axis A and is substantially at the height of the lower edge of the pusher 3, when the pusher 3 is in the rest position. The inside diameter of the ring 24 is not constant, so that the inner surface of the ring 24 is, on its lower part, resting on the neck 7, on its central part, resting on the ring 10 and on its upper part that there exists a space 25 between the ring 24 and the sleeve 22. The space 25 between the ring 24 and the sleeve 22 has the shape of a well, the width of which is such that the pusher 3 is able to slide between the ring 24 and the sleeve 22, for example during a dispensing operation. The outer diameter of the ring 24 is constant and such that the cover 5 can slide on the ring 24 with friction.
On va maintenant décrire le fonctionnement du vaporisateur selon l'invention, en partant d'un état de distribution dudit vaporisateur, qui est représenté sur la figure 2, et dans lequel les rampes 8 et 11 ne sont pas en contact l'une avec l'autre. Dans cet état, lorsqu'un utilisateur appuie sur le capot 5 de manière que ledit capot 5 se translate verticalement vers le récipient 2, l'anneau 12 qui est inséré dans la rainure 15 entraîne le poussoir 3 qui effectue une translation de même direction. La translation maximum que peut effectuer le capot 5 par rapport au récipient 2 correspond à l'écart entre les rampes 8 et 11 en position de repos du capot 5. L'état correspondant aux deux rampes 8 et 11 en contact est représenté sur la figure 3. Cet état correspond à un état dans lequel l'anneau 12 est en appui sur le bord supérieur de la bague 24. L'écart entre les rampes 8 et 11 en position de repos du capot 5, qui correspond également à l'écart entre l'anneau 12 et le bord supérieur de la bague 24 en position de repos du capot 5, peut par exemple correspondre à la course du piston. Cette translation a pour effet d'enfoncer le tube 17 dans le corps de la pompe 18. La translation du tube 17 actionne la pompe 4, ce qui a pour effet de refouler une dose de produit à travers le tube 17 jusqu'à l'orifice de distribution 14 puis jusqu'à l'ouverture 13, d'une manière classique.The operation of the vaporizer according to the invention will now be described starting from a dispensing state of said vaporizer, which is shown in FIG. 2, and in which the ramps 8 and 11 are not in contact with each other. 'other. In this state, when a user presses the cover 5 so that said cap 5 is translated vertically to the container 2, the ring 12 which is inserted into the groove 15 drives the pusher 3 which performs a translation in the same direction. The maximum translation that can make the cover 5 with respect to the container 2 corresponds to the difference between the ramps 8 and 11 in the rest position of the cover 5. The state corresponding to the two ramps 8 and 11 in contact is shown in FIG. 3. This state corresponds to a state in which the ring 12 bears on the upper edge of the ring 24. The difference between the ramps 8 and 11 in the rest position of the cover 5, which also corresponds to the gap between the ring 12 and the upper edge of the ring 24 in the rest position of the cover 5, may for example correspond to the stroke of the piston. This translation has the effect of driving the tube 17 into the body of the pump 18. The translation of the tube 17 actuates the pump 4, which has the effect of discharging a dose of product through the tube 17 to the dispensing orifice 14 then to the opening 13, in a conventional manner.
On va maintenant décrire une opération de blocage du dispositif de vaporisation selon l'invention.We will now describe a blocking operation of the spray device according to the invention.
Lorsqu'en partant de l'état de distribution représenté sur la figure 2 un utilisateur agit sur le capot 5 de manière que ledit capot 5 effectue une rotation d'axe A et de 180° par rapport audit récipient 2, les rampes 8 et 11 se disposent l'une par rapport à l'autre de telle manière qu'elles sont en contact sur une partie de leur longueur, en position de repos du capot 5. Le dispositif est en position de blocage. Cette position est représentée sur la figure 1 et sur la figure 4.When starting from the dispensing state shown in FIG. 2, a user acts on the cover 5 so that said cover 5 rotates about axis A and 180 ° with respect to said container 2, the ramps 8 and 11 are arranged relative to one another so that they are in contact over part of their length, in the rest position of the 5. The device is in the locked position. This position is shown in Figure 1 and Figure 4.
Lorsque dans cette position un utilisateur essaye d'appuyer sur le capot 5, le contact entre les rampes 8 et 11 empêche la translation dudit capot 5 et donc dudit poussoir 3, la pompe 4 ne peut donc pas être actionnée. Lorsqu'en partant de l'état de blocage un utilisateur effectue la même opération, c'est-à-dire une rotation de 180° du capot 5 par rapport au récipient 2, les rampes 8 et 11 sont de nouveau mobiles en translation l'une par rapport à l'autre. Le système est en position de distribution.When in this position a user tries to press the cover 5, the contact between the ramps 8 and 11 prevents the translation of said cover 5 and therefore said pusher 3, the pump 4 can not be actuated. When starting from the blocking state a user performs the same operation, that is to say a 180 ° rotation of the cover 5 relative to the container 2, the ramps 8 and 11 are again mobile in translation l one with respect to the other. The system is in distribution position.
En se reportant à la figure 5, on voit une variante de réalisation du vaporisateur selon l'invention. La bague de guidage et la bague d'étanchéité sont constituées par une pièce unique 124. La pièce unique 124 est par exemple obtenue par moulage.Referring to Figure 5, we see an alternative embodiment of the vaporizer according to the invention. The guide ring and the sealing ring are constituted by a single piece 124. The single piece 124 is for example obtained by molding.
D'autres variantes du dispositif de vaporisation, non représentées, sont possibles.Other variants of the vaporization device, not shown, are possible.
Par exemple, les rampes 8 et 11 peuvent être de forme complémentaire et ovale, l'axe du plus grand diamètre de chaque rampe faisant un angle α avec l'axe A et l'angle α étant différent de 90°.For example, the ramps 8 and 11 may be of complementary and oval shape, the axis of the largest diameter of each ramp forming an angle α with the axis A and the angle α being different from 90 °.
Les rampes 8 et 11 peuvent en outre ne pas être de forme complémentaire, la rampe 8 peut par exemple avoir une forme ovale et la rampe 11 une forme sinusoïdale En outre, l'anneau 12 en saillie et la rainure 15 peuvent être remplacés par un système de fixation situé sur le sommet du poussoir 3, ledit système de fixation permettant la rotation du capot 5 par rapport audit poussoir 3. Ledit système de fixation étant apte à assurer le guidage en rotation du capot 5 par rapport au poussoir 3, la solidarité du capot 5 et du poussoir 3 lors d'une translation du capot 5 en direction du récipient 2 et permettant au capot 5 d'être retiré du dispositif, par exemple pour une opération de remplissage du récipient 2.The ramps 8 and 11 may furthermore not be of complementary shape, the ramp 8 may for example have an oval shape and the ramp 11 may have a sinusoidal shape. In addition, the projecting ring 12 and the groove 15 may be replaced by a fastening system located on the top of the pusher 3, said fastening system allowing the rotation of the cover 5 with respect to said pusher 3. Said fastening system being able to ensure the rotational guiding of the cover 5 with respect to the pusher 3, the solidarity of the cover 5 and the pusher 3 during a translation of the cover 5 towards the container 2 and allowing the cover 5 to be removed from the device, for example for a filling operation of the container 2.
Par exemple, le goulot 7 peut comporter un filetage et la bague 10 peut être apte à être vissée sur le goulot 7. Pour distribuer un produit pâteux, tel qu'une crème, on peut par exemple remplacer les trois canaux convergents par un canal unique. Dans ce cas il n'y a pas d'éclatement des particules et le dispositif peut permettre de distribuer une noisette de produit. De manière générale, l'organe de distribution et le canal de sortie peuvent être de type et de forme quelconque, de manière à permettre la distribution du produit sous différentes formes.For example, the neck 7 may comprise a thread and the ring 10 may be adapted to be screwed onto the neck 7. To dispense a pasty product, such as a cream, it is possible for example to replace the three convergent channels by a single channel . In this case there is no bursting of the particles and the device can make it possible to distribute a small amount of product. Generally, the dispensing member and the outlet channel may be of any type and shape, so as to allow the distribution of the product in different forms.
L'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation ci-dessus décrits. Elle s'applique à tout type de distributeur de produit liquide ou pâteux, indépendamment de la forme particulière du jet de produit délivré, dès lors qu'il comporte le dispositif d'actionnement par coopération de rampes respectivement solidaires du capot et du récipient. The invention is not limited to the embodiments described above. It applies to any type of liquid or pasty product dispenser, regardless of the particular form of the product jet delivered, since it comprises the actuating device by cooperation of ramps respectively integral with the cover and the container.
