Definitions

  • Each dispenser comprises a device 2 for dispensing a dose of product contained in a reservoir 3.
  • Two thin flexible walls 4 and 5 enclose the dispensing device 2.
  • the joining of the walls 4 and 5 along their lower edge 19 is not essential.
  • the walls 4 and 5 are not necessarily intended to provide a receiving pocket for the dispensing device since the primary function of the walls 4 and 5 according to the invention is to serve as a mounting bracket on a flat document, or to constitute an advertising medium.
  • the walls 4 and 5 each have an outer surface 6 and 7 respectively.
  • the bag containing the dispensing pump could constitute a sample product reservoir to be dispensed.
  • the thin walls would be constructed in such a way that they would protect the sample product and the pump from its light, gas and liquid sealing properties.
  • Each of the thin flexible walls 4, 5 also has an inner surface 22 and 23 respectively which are fixed at least partially on a fastener 8 of the dispensing device 2.
  • the member 8 has a thickness e greater than or equal to the thickness e 'of the dispensing device 2. It thus constitutes a protection element for the dispensing device 2 since it prevents any direct pressure on said device.
  • the thickness of the dispenser is substantially of the order of 3 mm (+ or - 2 mm), which makes it possible to slide the dispenser between two magazine pages without substantially deforming the latter.
  • the member 8 also having a generally flattened shape.
  • the two opposite main parts 10 and 13 are located in or close to the two planes P1 and P2 so that the two main parts (10, 13) form bearing surfaces.
  • the flats can be formed by molding.
  • the fastener could have curved surfaces, these surfaces defining a shape such that they have at least three support points for the press used in the tests carried out to test the resistance to pressure.
  • the thin walls 4 and 5 of the distributor are fixed on all the bearing surfaces 9 to 14 (first embodiment, figure 3 ) or 9 'to 14' (second embodiment, figure 7 ) of the member 8 for optimum fixation.
  • fastener 8 is rigidly associated with the dispensing device 2, so as to prevent any movement of the dispensing device 2 between the flexible walls 4 and 5.
  • the dispensing device 2 comprises a pump 15, a pump body 16 and a reservoir 3.
  • the piston is in fluid relation with the product reservoir, which consists of a capillary tube 3.
  • a coil spring 29 is provided in the pump body of circular section.
  • the pump body 16 is fitted into a cylindrical bore 17 formed in the fastener 8. Also, the pump body 16 has a diameter smaller than the thickness e of the fastener 8.
  • the invention is not limited to this embodiment. Indeed, the pump body 16 could be made differently, for example by being integral with the fastening member 8.
  • Such an embodiment variant is for example illustrated on the Figures 4 to 16 .
  • the pump 15 ' comprises, in a manner similar to the pump 15 described above, a pump head 30 ( figure 5 ) which is extended in the lower part by a tube 31 for sampling the product contained in a tank 3 '.
  • a channel 32 passing through the pump head 30 and the tube 31 ensures the flow of the liquid product in the pump head to an outlet orifice 33.
  • the pump head 30 comprises a compression chamber, ensuring the delivery of a dose of product.
  • This compression chamber has not been shown for the sake of clarity of the figures.
  • the pump head 30 is flat and of rectangular section, the tube 31 is made in the extension of the vertical axis of symmetry of the pump head 30.
  • the pump 15 ' is movably mounted in displacement in a pump body 16' between a rest position and a product delivery position.
  • the pump body 16 has a receiving housing 34 of complementary section to that of the pump head 30 ( figure 6 especially).
  • the pump head 30 is equipped with elastic return means.
  • These elastic return means are formed by arcuate tabs 35 and 36, whose curvature is directed towards the vertical axis of symmetry of the pump head 30, the tabs 35 and 36 projecting from the lower edge 37 of the pump head. 30 in the vicinity of the side edges 38 and 39.
  • the pump could be made without spring. It would then no longer be necessary to provide means ensuring the return of the pump to the initial position, after delivery of the dose of product.
  • the pump body 16 ' also constitutes the fastening and protection member 8 of the dispensing device on the thin and flexible walls 4 and 5.
  • the pump body 16 ' also has flats 9', 10 ', 11', 12 ', 13' and 14 '( figure 7 ) on which the walls 4 and 5 are fixed.
  • a tube 40 is made integral with the bottom 41 of the receiving housing 34 of the pump body 16 '.
  • the tube 40 communicates with the receiving housing 34 by means of a channel 42 passing through the bottom 41 at its center.
  • the tube 40 comprises in the lower part the reservoir 3 'initially closed by a lid 43, tearable during a first use of the pump, to allow the passage of the product contained in the reservoir 3' in the channel 42.
  • the tube 40 (integral with the pump body 16 ') has an inner diameter greater than the outer diameter of the tube 31 (integral with the pump head 15').
  • the tube 31 is introduced into the tube 40 and can move in vertical translation.
  • the end of the tube 31 is made in the form of a bevel 44.
  • means are provided which create resistance to vertical displacement of the pump head 30 before a first voluntary use.
  • These resistance means consist, on the one hand, of two lateral rods 45 and 46 projecting from the inner side walls of the receiving housing 34 formed in the pump body 16 ', and on the other hand by a bead 47 projecting punctually on each of the lateral sides of the pump head 30, in the vicinity of the arcuate tabs 35 and 36.
  • the projecting beads 47 and the projecting internal rods 45 and 46 are of a size and shape such that a bead 47 is housed between two projecting rods 45 and 46.
  • the projecting internal rods 45 and 46 are made at a distance d from the bottom 41 of the housing 34.
  • the distance d is such that, before a first use, when the pump head 30 is introduced into the housing 34, the beveled end 44 of the tube 31 does not come into contact with the lid 43.
  • the pump body 16 'constitutes the fixing member 8 of the pump on the flexible walls 4 and 5.
  • the distributor can then be slipped between two pages of a magazine without, however, greatly deforming the latter.
