Description

La présente invention concerne un distributeur à pompes multiples.The present invention relates to a multi-pump dispenser.

Les distributeurs à pompes multiples sont généralement destinés à la délivrance de produits cosmétiques ou pharmaceutiques liquides constitués de plusieurs composants.
Ces composants sont conditionnés de façon indépendante dans des compartiments distincts d'un même réservoir.
Cette configuration répond à une contrainte d'isolement des composants pour des raisons d'incompatibilité chimique et/ou biologique.
Chaque composant est prélevé dans son compartiment et délivré par une pompe indépendante qui lui est dédiée.Multi-pump dispensers are generally intended for dispensing liquid cosmetic or pharmaceutical products consisting of several components.
These components are packaged independently in separate compartments of the same tank.
This configuration responds to an isolation constraint of the components for reasons of chemical and / or biological incompatibility.
Each component is taken from its compartment and delivered by an independent pump dedicated to it.

Ces pompes sont constituées, de manière traditionnelle, d'un corps qui est obturé, en partie basse, par un clapet d'admission et, en partie haute, par un extenseur et/ou un clapet d'échappement et qui renferme un mécanisme à piston coopérant avec un organe de rappel élastique.These pumps consist, in the traditional way, of a body which is closed, at the bottom, by an intake valve and, at the top, by a stent and / or an exhaust valve and which contains a mechanism to piston cooperating with an elastic return member.

Le WO 98/30332 A2 divulgue un distributeur qui présente toutes les caractéristiques du préambule de la revendication 1.The WO 98/30332 A2 discloses a dispenser having all the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Lorsqu'une éjection conjointe des composants est recherchée, l'actionnement des différents mécanismes est effectué simultanément et le mélange des composants intervient alors dans la zone d'échappement des pompes.When a joint ejection of the components is sought, the actuation of the different mechanisms is carried out simultaneously and the mixing of the components then occurs in the exhaust zone of the pumps.

Dans une telle configuration, les pompes ne sont pas nécessairement identiques. Leur capacité ainsi que leur mécanisme peuvent être choisis en fonction des composants à associer pour obtenir les propriétés désirées et notamment une composition finale spécifique du produit distribué.In such a configuration, the pumps are not necessarily identical. Their capacity as well as their mechanism can be chosen according to the components to be combined to obtain the desired properties and in particular a specific final composition of the product distributed.

De tels distributeurs sont donc onéreux du fait, d'une part, de leur structure complexe qui est adaptée pour intégrer un équipement lourd en moyens de prélèvement et, d'autre part, du coût des pompes elles-mêmes.Such dispensers are therefore expensive because, on the one hand, their complex structure which is adapted to integrate heavy equipment into sampling means and, on the other hand, the cost of the pumps themselves.

La présente invention a pour but de résoudre ces problèmes techniques en proposant une structure simplifiée par l'utilisation de moyens constitutifs ou fonctionnels uniques et notamment par la mise en commun pour les pompes d'éléments mécaniques essentiels.The present invention aims to solve these technical problems by proposing a simplified structure by the use of unique constituent or functional means and in particular by the pooling for the pumps of essential mechanical elements.

Ce but est atteint selon l'invention, par un distributeur spécifique selon la revendication 1.This object is achieved according to the invention by a specific distributor according to claim 1.

Selon une caractéristique avantageuse, ladite frette comporte au moins un élément de raccord étanche avec la paroi des compartiments.According to an advantageous characteristic, said hoop comprises at least one sealing member with the wall of the compartments.

Selon une autre caractéristique, lesdits extenseurs sont fixés sous un capot formant au moins un poussoir qui coopère avec l'organe de rappel.According to another characteristic, said stents are fixed under a cover forming at least one pusher which cooperates with the return member.

Selon encore une autre caractéristique, la face supérieure desdits extenseurs comporte une rainure radiale débouchant à l'extérieur via un orifice d'éjection.According to yet another characteristic, the upper face of said stents comprises a radial groove opening out through an ejection orifice.

De préférence, ladite rainure est fermée en partie supérieure par la face inférieure dudit capot.Preferably, said groove is closed in the upper part by the underside of said cover.

De préférence, lesdits épaulements se raccordent de manière centrale en formant un barillet unique.Preferably, said shoulders connect centrally to form a single barrel.

Selon une autre variante spécifique, lesdits compartiments sont cylindriques et disposés les uns dans les autres de façon gigogne.According to another specific variant, said compartments are cylindrical and arranged in each other in a nested manner.

En outre, il est prévu que lesdits corps de pompe sont réalisés d'une seule pièce avec des tubes de prise immergés dans lesdits compartiments du réservoir.In addition, it is provided that said pump bodies are made in one piece with dip tubes immersed in said compartments of the reservoir.

Selon un premier mode de réalisation des pompes, lesdits extenseurs comportent une jupe latérale coiffant, de manière coulissante, un piston constitué d'une chemise interne ancrée dans le corps de pompe et portant le clapet d'admission.
Dans ce cas, ladite chemise est traversée par une tige axiale dont l'extrémité supérieure forme la soupape du clapet d'échappement.According to a first embodiment of the pumps, said stents comprise a lateral skirt slidably capping a piston consisting of an inner liner anchored in the pump body and carrying the inlet valve.
In this case, said liner is traversed by an axial rod whose upper end forms the valve of the exhaust valve.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation, ledit piston est constitué d'une tige creuse coiffée, en partie supérieure, par ledit extenseur et couplée, en partie inférieure, à une coupelle inversée.
Dans cet autre cas, ladite tige est mobile relativement à ladite coupelle pour ouvrir le clapet d'échappement ménagé à l'extrémité inférieure de ladite tige.According to another embodiment, said piston consists of a hollow rod capped, in the upper part, by said stent and coupled, in the lower part, to an inverted cup.
In this other case, said rod is movable relative to said cup to open the exhaust valve formed at the lower end of said rod.

Selon une variante préférentielle de ce dernier mode, lesdites pompes sont obturées de manière étanche par des douilles engagées dans les corps autour des tiges creuses et qui sont solidarisées entre elles au moyen d'une platine.According to a preferred variant of the latter mode, said pumps are closed sealingly by sockets engaged in the bodies around the hollow rods and which are secured to each other by means of a plate.

Le distributeur de l'invention présente une structure simple et économique adaptée au conditionnement et à la délivrance simultanée ou successive des différents composants d'un même produit ou de plusieurs produits.
Cette structure offre une plateforme commune avec des éléments fonctionnels susceptibles d'être asservis à de multiples moyens de prélèvement identiques ou différents.
La présence d'un organe de rappel unique sans contact avec les composants du produit permet d'établir de bonnes conditions de conservation.The dispenser of the invention has a simple and economical structure adapted to the packaging and the simultaneous or successive delivery of the various components of the same product or of several products.
This structure provides a common platform with functional elements that can be slaved to multiple identical or different sampling means.

Le distributeur représenté sur les figures comprend un réservoir R équipé de plusieurs compartiments indépendants et, ici, de deux compartiments r1, r2 hémicylindriques, associés chacun à une pompe P1, P2.The distributor shown in the figures comprises a reservoir R equipped with several independent compartments and, here, two compartments r1, r2 semi-cylindrical, each associated with a pump P1, P2.

Chaque ensemble compartiment/pompe est adapté à un composant particulier d'un produit final à délivrer sous forme de mélange ou à des produits distincts (référencés 1 et 2 sur les figures).Each compartment / pump assembly is adapted to a particular component of a final product to be delivered as a mixture or to separate products (referenced 1 and 2 in the figures).

Les pompes P1,P2 sont constitués respectivement et de manière générale, d'un corps 1 qui est obturé, en partie basse, par un clapet d'admission 10 et, en partie haute, par un extenseur 2 et/ou un clapet d'échappement 20. Les corps 1 renferment des mécanismes à piston 3 coopérant avec au moins un organe de rappel élastique 4.The pumps P1, P2 are constituted respectively and generally, a body 1 which is closed, at the bottom, by an inlet valve 10 and, at the top, by a stent 2 and / or a valve of Exhaust 20. The bodies 1 contain piston mechanisms 3 cooperating with at least one elastic return member 4.

Dans les modes de réalisation de l'invention tels que représentés sur les figures 1 et 4, les corps 1 de pompe sont solidarisés les uns aux autres sous forme d'une frette unique 11 par une entretoise de liaison 12 assurant en outre le recouvrement étanche des compartiments r1, r2 du réservoir R.In the embodiments of the invention as shown in the figures 1 and 4 , the pump bodies 1 are secured to each other in the form of a single ring 11 by a connecting spacer 12 further ensuring the sealed covering of the compartments r1, r2 of the tank R.

Les corps 1 sont de forme générale cylindro-conique et présentent une ouverture supérieure évasée qui reçoit le mécanisme à piston 3.The bodies 1 are of generally cylindro-conical shape and have a flared upper opening which receives the piston mechanism 3.

Des extenseurs 2 sont fixés sous au moins un capot 5 formant poussoir qui coopère avec l'organe de rappel 4.Stents 2 are fixed under at least one pusher cover 5 which cooperates with the return member 4.

La fixation s'opère ici par encliquetage de la partie supérieure des extenseurs 2 dans une couronne 50 du capot pourvue d'une saillie périphérique 51.Fixing is effected here by snapping the upper part of the stents 2 in a crown 50 of the cover provided with a peripheral projection 51.

Le mécanisme de la pompe est constitué, dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 1, d'un piston sous forme d'une tige creuse 32 coiffée en partie supérieure par un extenseur 2 et couplée en partie inférieure à une coupelle inversée 33.
Ce couplage autorise un léger déplacement relatif de la tige 32 et de la coupelle 33.
La coupelle 33 est destinée à coulisser au contact avec la paroi interne du corps 1 sous l'action du poussoir 5 pour comprimer le produit dans la chambre basse 30 et l'expulser, lorsque la tige 32 est en fin de course vers le bas, via le clapet d'échappement ménagé à l'extrémité inférieure de ladite tige.
L'étanchéité supérieure est assurée ici par une douille 7 qui est engagée dans le corps 1 autour de la tige 32 et qui est solidarisée avec les douilles associées aux autres pompes au moyen d'une platine 71 portant un manchon central 74 de calage de l'organe de rappel 4.
Il est toutefois possible de prévoir, dans une variante non représentée, que la platine 71 soit pourvue d'un alésage central au travers duquel passe le manchon central de calage porté, cette fois, par l'entretoise 12.The mechanism of the pump is constituted, in the embodiment of the figure 1 , a piston in the form of a hollow rod 32 capped in the upper part by a stent 2 and coupled in the lower part to an inverted cup 33.
This coupling allows a slight relative displacement of the rod 32 and the cup 33.
The cup 33 is intended to slide in contact with the inner wall of the body 1 under the action of the pusher 5 to compress the product in the lower chamber 30 and expel, when the rod 32 is at the end of the race down, via the exhaust valve provided at the lower end of said rod.
The upper seal is ensured here by a bushing 7 which is engaged in the body 1 around the rod 32 and which is secured to the bushings associated with the other pumps by means of a plate 71 carrying a central sleeve 74 for wedging the rod. return member 4.
It is however possible to provide, in a variant not shown, that the plate 71 is provided with a central bore through which passes the central shim sleeve carried, this time, by the spacer 12.

Dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 4, le piston 3 est sous forme d'une chemise interne 31, ancrée intérieurement dans la partie basse du corps 1 et portant le clapet d'admission 10.
L'extenseur 2 comporte ici une jupe latérale 23 coiffant de manière coulissante le piston 3 en produisant un effet de compression dans la chambre haute 30 qui est traversée par une tige axiale 6 dont l'extrémité supérieure conique 60 forme la soupape du clapet d'échappement 20.
C'est ici l'entretoise 12 qui porte un manchon central 14 de calage de l'organe de rappel 4.In the embodiment of the figure 4 , the piston 3 is in the form of an inner liner 31, anchored internally in the lower part of the body 1 and carrying the intake valve 10.
The stent 2 here comprises a side skirt 23 slidably capping the piston 3 by producing a compression effect in the upper chamber 30 which is traversed by an axial rod 6 whose conical upper end 60 forms the valve of the valve. exhaust 20.
It is here the spacer 12 which carries a central sleeve 14 for setting the return member 4.

De manière générale, les corps de pompe sont réalisés d'une seule pièce avec des tubes 13 de prise, immergés au moins partiellement dans le produit à l'intérieur des compartiments respectifs r1, r2 du réservoir R.In general, the pump bodies are made in one piece with gripping tubes 13, at least partially immersed in the product inside the respective compartments r1, r2 of the reservoir R.

L'organe de rappel 4 est réalisé sous forme d'un ressort unique 4 qui est monté à l'extérieur des corps et qui n'a aucun contact avec les composants du produit.
L'entretoise 12 est pourvue d'au moins un élément de raccord étanche 15 avec la paroi des compartiments r1, r2.The return member 4 is formed as a single spring 4 which is mounted outside the body and has no contact with the product components.
The spacer 12 is provided with at least one sealing member 15 with the wall of the compartments r1, r2.

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures 1 et 4, les éléments de raccord 15 sont disposés en serrage radial à la fois contre la paroi centrale mitoyenne entre les deux compartiments et sur le pourtour intérieur des parois latérales desdits compartiments.In the embodiment shown on the figures 1 and 4 , the connecting elements 15 are arranged in radial clamping both against the central wall intermediate between the two compartments and on the inner periphery of the side walls of said compartments.

De préférence et pour obtenir un encombrement minima, les compartiments sont sous forme cylindrique et disposés les uns dans les autres de façon gigogne comme représenté sur les figures 7 et 8.
Dans ce cas la frette 11 est éventuellement asymétrique.Preferably and to obtain a minimum space requirement, the compartments are in cylindrical form and arranged in each other in a trundle manner as shown in FIGS. Figures 7 and 8 .
In this case the hoop 11 is optionally asymmetrical.

Comme représentée sur la figure 3, la face supérieure des extenseurs 2 comporte une rainure radiale 21 débouchant à l'extérieur via un orifice d'éjection 22 qui est commun aux pompes P1, P2.As represented on the figure 3 the upper face of the stents 2 comprises a radial groove 21 opening outwards via an ejection orifice 22 which is common to the pumps P1, P2.

Les rainures 21 sont fermées de manière étanche en partie supérieure par la face inférieure du capot 5.The grooves 21 are sealed at the top by the underside of the cover 5.

Les extenseurs 2 présentent, en outre, des épaulements radiaux 25 prenant appui sur l'organe de rappel unique 4 et supportant un doigt 24 de centrage dudit organe. Le doigt 24 s'étend axialement dans le manchon 14 de la frette 11 (figure 4) ou dans le manchon 74 de la platine 71 (figure 1) où il est guidé de façon éventuellement coulissante et retenu vers le haut par son extrémité inférieure qui porte un harpon 24a.The stents 2 have, in addition, radial shoulders 25 bearing on the single return member 4 and supporting a centering finger 24 of said member. The finger 24 extends axially in the sleeve 14 of the collar 11 ( figure 4 ) or in the sleeve 74 of the plate 71 ( figure 1 ) where it is optionally slidably guided and held upwardly by its lower end which carries a harpoon 24a.

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures 1 et 4, les épaulements 25 se raccordent de manière centrale en formant un barillet unique solidaire de toutes les pompes.In the embodiment shown on the figures 1 and 4 , the shoulders 25 are connected centrally forming a single barrel integral with all the pumps.

Dans une variante représentée sur les figures 5 et 6, le capot 5 est divisé en plusieurs, et ici deux, boutons juxtaposés 51, 52 dont chacun peut agir isolément comme poussoir sur l'organe de rappel unique 4 pour actionner sélectivement l'une des pompes.In a variant shown on the Figures 5 and 6 , the cover 5 is divided into several, and here two, juxtaposed buttons 51, 52, each of which can act alone as a pusher on the single return member 4 to selectively actuate one of the pumps.

Dans ce cas, le doigt 24 est, lui-même, constitué de plusieurs sections jointives et parallèles qui peuvent se déplacer axialement et indépendamment les unes des autres au centre de l'organe 4 et dans le manchon 74 (ou 14 sur figure 4).In this case, the finger 24 is, itself, constituted of several contiguous and parallel sections which can move axially and independently of each other in the center of the member 4 and in the sleeve 74 (or 14 on figure 4 ).

Toutefois, l'orifice d'éjection 22 est alors constitué de plusieurs cavités à profils complémentaires dans lesquelles débouchent les rainures respectives des extenseurs.However, the ejection orifice 22 then consists of several cavities with complementary profiles into which the respective grooves of the stents open.

L'aspect esthétique d'ensemble est quasi identique à celui des variantes à poussoir d'une seule pièce.
En outre, il n'est pas nécessaire que les autres éléments structurels et fonctionnels du distributeur de l'invention soient modifiés par rapport aux modes de réalisation précédemment décrits.The overall aesthetic appearance is almost identical to that of one-piece push-button variants.
In addition, it is not necessary that the other structural and functional elements of the dispenser of the invention are modified with respect to the previously described embodiments.
