Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pusher for actuating a fluid dispenser member and to a method for producing such a pusher.
  • the body has an open housing on the side wall.
  • the covering element is adapted to be mounted on the side wall by the support wall and has an orifice disposed facing the housing.
  • the output member is in the form of an inserted nozzle fitted into the housing through the orifice.
  • the pusher as described above does not allow to adapt the steps of realization of the pusher. Indeed, such a pusher requires that the nozzle is fitted into the housing after the dressing element was mounted on the body.
  • the document GB-1 108 510 A describes a pusher according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention aims to solve the problems mentioned above.
  • the invention proposes a pusher of the type mentioned above in which the cladding element is disposed below the output member and is adapted to be fitted on the side wall by the free end of said side wall.
  • the association of the output member with the body is possible independently of the relative positioning of the trim element and the body. And this association can take place before or after the fitting of the dressing element on the body.
  • the side wall has a greater deformation capacity at the free end than at the support wall, which limits the risk of jamming during assembly of the trim element.
  • the formation of the body, the association with the body of the outlet member and the formation of the flow conduit can be performed in a single molding step.
  • the figure 1 represents a dispenser 1 for dispensing a fluid product and, for example, a cream or a gel from the field of cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, perfumes or other.
  • the dispenser 1 comprises a reservoir 2 inside which the fluid product is disposed.
  • the reservoir has in particular a bottom, a side wall and an opening opposite the bottom.
  • a manually operable dispensing member 3, shown on the figure 2 is mounted, by means of a fastener 5, in the opening of the reservoir 2 so as to be able to take fluid from the inside of the tank 2 and deliver it to the outside.
  • the dispensing member 3 may comprise a tubular body 4 which extends along an axis A and a nozzle 6 mounted in an open upper end of the body 4.
  • the nozzle 6 is partially movable inside the body 4 in translation along the axis A.
  • a lower end of the body 4, also open, is in fluid communication with the reservoir 2, for example by means of a tubular fixing wall 7 receiving a dip tube 8 by fitting.
  • the dispensing member 3 may be a pump comprising a compression chamber delimited by an intake valve near the second end of the body 4, an exhaust valve and a piston integral with one end. lower nozzle 6 and movable sealingly inside the body 4.
  • a pusher 10 can be mounted on an upper end of the nozzle 6.
  • the pusher 10 comprises a body 11, a flow conduit 12 in fluid communication with the dispensing member 3 and a covering element 13.
  • the body 11 of the pusher made for example of plastics material, comprises a bearing wall 14 adapted to receive a user's finger and an annular lateral wall which extends from the support wall 14 to a free end 16.
  • the body 11 is cylindrical along a longitudinal axis B.
  • the bearing wall 14 may extend substantially radially relative to the longitudinal axis B.
  • the side wall 15 may extend substantially axially from the support wall 14 and having a substantially cylindrical inner surface and outer surface.
  • the surfaces of the support walls 14 and side 15 have inclined, curved, axial areas or a combination of such areas and that the body 11 has a shape other than cylindrical.
  • the body 11 may comprise internally a fixing sleeve 17 which extends along the axis B from the support wall 14 to allow the mounting of the pusher 10 on the nozzle 6 coaxially with the axis A.
  • the socket fixing means 17 delimits a supply channel in fluid communication with the nozzle 6 of the dispensing member 3.
  • the flow duct 12 extends into the body and opens outwards through an outlet member 20 projecting from the outer surface of the side wall 15.
  • the flow duct 12 is extends in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis B between an upstream end that opens into the feed channel and a downstream end provided in the outlet member 20.
  • the outlet member 20 is integral with the body 11.
  • the support wall 14 may comprise the outlet member 20 extending transversely and the flow conduit 12 can be formed in the bearing wall 14.
  • the output member 20 is integral with an upper portion of the side wall 15 located near the support wall 14.
  • the body 11 may have an open housing on an upper portion of the side wall 15 near the wall 14 and the output member 20 may be an inserted nozzle fitted into the housing.
  • the covering element 13 is annular and at least partially covers the outer surface of the side wall 15. In particular, the covering element 13 extends between an upper edge 21 close to the support wall 14 and a lower edge 22 opposite the upper edge 21.
  • the covering member 13 has an outer surface and an inner surface.
  • the covering element 13 is disposed below the outlet member 20, that is to say that the upper edge 21 defines a passage opening in which the side wall 15 can extend, at least one part of the upper edge 21 passing below the outlet member 20.
  • the covering element 13 is adapted to be fitted on the side wall 15 by the free end 16 of the side wall.
  • the inner surface of the covering element 13 is also adapted to receive at least a lower portion of the side wall 15 of the pusher 10 and to secure the covering element 13 to said side wall 15.
  • the inner surface of the covering member 13 has a transverse dimension and a shape substantially similar to that of the outer surface of the side wall 15.
  • the upper edge 21 of the covering element 13 is disposed below the support wall 14 and has a transverse dimension and a shape substantially similar to those of the outer surface of the side wall 15. The covering element 13 is then maintained by fitting with radial clamping with respect to the longitudinal axis B on the side wall 15.
  • the maintenance of the cladding element 13 on the side wall 15 is made by radial clamping of all or part of the upper edge 21 of the element. 13 and / or by radial clamping of all or part of the inner surface of the covering element 13.
  • the outer surface of the side wall 15 of the body may have a peripheral shoulder 25 facing the free end 16, the upper edge 21 of the element covering member 13 being abutted against the shoulder 25.
  • the covering member 13 may have a thickness between the outer surface and the inner surface which is substantially equal to a dimension measured transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis B of the shoulder 25.
  • the shoulder 25 is made under the bearing wall 14 and under the outlet member 20 and the covering element 13 has a dimension measured along the longitudinal axis B substantially equal to or greater than that of the side wall 15, the upper edge 21 locally forming a notch arranged axially to allow the passage of the outlet member 20.
  • the covering member 13 can cover substantially all of the side wall 15 of the body 10, the support wall 14 and the outlet member 20 projecting from the passage opening.
  • the shoulder 25 and / or the dimension along the longitudinal axis B of the covering element 13 may be such that the covering element 13 covers only a lower portion of the lateral wall. 15 located at a distance from the support wall 14.
  • the covering element 13 makes it possible to improve the mechanical and chemical resistance of the pusher 10 and to modify the external appearance thereof.
  • the covering element 13 may be metal, for example polished aluminum and then anodized for a gold or chrome appearance, or plastic, for example with elements such as color or other pigments distributed in the material.
  • the formation of the body 11, the association with the body 11 of the outlet member 20 and the formation of the flow conduit 12 can be carried out in a single molding step, in particular by injection molding. of a plastic material.
  • the association of the outlet member 20 and the formation of the flow conduit 12 may occur before or after the nesting step of the covering element 13.
  • the nozzle and the body 11 may each comprise a portion of the flow conduit 12 and the formation of the flow conduit 12 is obtained by the assembly of the two parts during the process. It can also be provided that only the nozzle comprises the flow conduit 12 or that the flow conduit 12 is formed in the nozzle after the combination of the nozzle with the body 11.
