Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour la diffusion et l'application d'un liquide sur une surface.The present invention relates to a device for the diffusion and application of a liquid on a surface.

En particulier, l'invention vise un dispositif comprenant un réservoir de liquide, des moyens pour le diffuser hors du réservoir vers ladite surface et une lingette destinée à appliquer et/ou essuyer le liquide diffusé sur ladite surface, ledit réservoir étant limité par une paroi qui comporte, du côté opposé au réservoir, au moins une arête supérieure, une arête inférieure et deux arêtes latérales, chacune d'elle étant munie d'une épaisseur de matière suffisante pour former un logement pour la lingette, ce logement comportant des moyens pour favoriser l'écoulement de l'air à l'intérieur du logement.In particular, the invention is directed to a device comprising a liquid reservoir, means for diffusing it out of the reservoir towards said surface and a wipe intended to apply and / or wipe the liquid diffused on said surface, said reservoir being limited by a wall which comprises, on the side opposite the reservoir, at least one upper edge, one lower edge and two lateral edges, each of which is provided with a thickness of material sufficient to form a housing for the wipe, this housing comprising means for promote the flow of air inside the housing.

Conventionnellement, lorsque l'on veut nettoyer et/ou essuyer une surface, par exemple en verre, on applique sur celle-ci une quantité désirée de liquide de nettoyage depuis un réservoir où il est stocké, on étend ensuite le liquide avec une lingette et on essuie le reliquat avec celle-ci. La lingette est alors imprégnée de liquide et doit sécher.Conventionally, when it is desired to clean and / or wipe a surface, for example glass, a desired amount of cleaning liquid is applied to it from a reservoir where it is stored, the liquid is then spread with a wipe and we wipe the balance with it. The wipe is then impregnated with liquid and must dry.

Habituellement, une fois l'opération terminée, on place la lingette sur un élément susceptible de favoriser le séchage, tel qu'un radiateur, ou alors directement dans la poche ou dans un sac au risque de favoriser la détérioration de la lingette par son humidité, ou encore des éléments qui l'entourent par communication de cette humidité, et éventuellement l'apparition de moisissure lors de l'utilisation d'un liquide aqueux ou comportant un milieu nutritif.Usually, once the operation is completed, the wipe is placed on an element likely to promote drying, such as a radiator, or directly in the pocket or in a bag, as this may promote deterioration of the wipe by its moisture content. or surrounding elements by communication of this moisture, and possibly the appearance of mold when using an aqueous liquid or having a nutrient medium.

Par ailleurs, et notamment pour une utilisation sur des appareils optiques tel que lunettes, paire de jumelles, optique d'appareil photo, il est courant que le réservoir de liquide de nettoyage soit fourni sans la lingette correspondante, c'est-à-dire que celle-ci ne soit pas prévue pour être à proximité immédiate du réservoir de liquide.Moreover, and especially for use on optical devices such as glasses, pair of binoculars, camera optics, it is common that the cleaning liquid reservoir is supplied without the corresponding wipe, that is to say that it is not intended to be in the immediate vicinity of the liquid reservoir.

Dans cette application, l'utilisateur n'a en général que l'un ou l'autre de la lingette ou du réservoir à portée de la main, ce qui l'oblige à utiliser des produits de nettoyage non destinés à cette utilisation particulière ou à utiliser des lingettes inadaptées, par exemple, au matériel optique de précision généralement fragile.In this application, the user generally has only one or the other of the wipe or the reservoir at hand, which forces him to use cleaning products not intended for this particular use or to use unsuitable wipes, for example, to generally fragile optical precision equipment.

Au mieux, la lingette est distribuée dans une pochette plastique contenant également le réservoir de liquide. Toutefois, ce cas de figure présente les mêmes inconvénients en ce qui concerne l'humidité et le séchage de la lingette.At best, the wipe is dispensed in a plastic pouch also containing the liquid reservoir. However, this case has the same drawbacks as regards moisture and drying of the wipe.

Par ailleurs, ces packs ou kits de nettoyage n'ont aucune esthétique particulière.Moreover, these packs or cleaning kits have no particular aesthetic.

Il a été proposé des dispositifs présentant une lingette disposée dans un logement rapporté au réservoir. Cependant, ces logement sont généralement petit et même s'il est spécifié pour certain que la fermeture du logement n'est pas réalisée de manière hermétique, le séchage de la lingette reste partiel et localisé au niveau de la fermeture non hermétique du logement.It has been proposed devices having a wipe disposed in a housing attached to the tank. However, these housings are generally small and although it is specified for certain that the closure of the housing is not performed hermetically, the drying of the wipe remains partial and located at the non-hermetic closure of the housing.

De manière à pallier ces inconvénients, l'inventeur a mis au point, ce qui fait l'objet de l'invention, un dispositif te que décrit en introduction caractérisé en ce que lesdits moyens pour favoriser l'écoulement de l'air à l'intérieur dudit logement sont constitués de lumières disposées dans lesdites épaisseurs de matière des arêtes supérieure et inférieure, les lumières en aplomb l'une de l'autre sur chacune des arêtes étant rejointes par une saignée pratiquée dans la paroi du réservoir portant lesdites épaisseurs de manière à accélérer le séchage de ladite lingette disposée dans le logement après utilisationIn order to overcome these drawbacks, the inventor has developed, which is the object of the invention, a device as described in the introduction characterized in that said means for promoting the flow of air to the air. interior of said housing consist of lumens arranged in said thicknesses of material of the upper and lower edges, the lights plumb with each other on each of the edges being joined by a groove made in the wall of the tank carrying said thicknesses of to accelerate drying of said wipe disposed in the housing after use

Ainsi, lors de l'utilisation du dispositif selon l'invention, le réservoir et la lingette sont toujours détenus ensemble, par exemple dans une poche ou un sac à mains. L'utilisateur a donc toujours à portée de main le liquide et la lingette correspondant à cette application. Par ailleurs, une fois le liquide appliqué sur la surface à traiter, le logement permet de replacer la lingette utilisée dans un endroit qui lui est spécialement dédié et pour lequel, on s'affranchit des problèmes de séchage.Thus, when using the device according to the invention, the reservoir and the wipe are still held together, for example in a pocket or a handbag. The user always has at hand the liquid and the wipe corresponding to this application. Furthermore, once the liquid applied to the surface to be treated, the housing allows to replace the used wipe in a place that is specifically dedicated to him and for which, it is overcome drying problems.

De préférence, le dispositif selon l'invention est constitué de métal et/ou de matière plastique.Preferably, the device according to the invention consists of metal and / or plastic.

Le choix du matériau sera conduit par la destination finale du dispositif. Dans le cadre par exemple de dispositifs de type publicitaire distribués par les lunettiers, ceux-ci seront préférentiellement réalisés en plastique. Par contre, pour des dispositifs luxueux, par exemple destinés à être offerts, on se dirigera vers des matériaux plus nobles tels que les métaux, précieux ou non.The choice of material will be driven by the final destination of the device. For example, in the context of advertising-type devices distributed by eyewear, these will preferably be made of plastic. On the other hand, for luxurious devices, for example intended to be offered, we will move towards more noble materials such as metals, precious or not.

De manière avantageuse, ladite lingette est constituée d'un tissage de microfibres.Advantageously, said wipe is made of a microfiber weave.

Ces tissages sont couramment employés notamment dans l'industrie optique et offrent une grande capacité de nettoyage et d'absorption des liquides.These weavings are commonly used in particular in the optical industry and offer a great capacity for cleaning and absorbing liquids.

Plus avantageusement, ledit liquide est choisi parmi les détergents pour surface en verre, en particulier les alcools et notamment l'alcool isopropylique.More preferably, said liquid is chosen from glass surface detergents, in particular alcohols and in particular isopropyl alcohol.

Dans un mode préférentiel de réalisation du dispositif selon l'invention, un capot rabattable est prévu mobile en rotation autour d'un axe disposé sur l'une des arêtes latérales formant charnière pour fermer ledit logement.In a preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention, a folding cover is provided rotatably about an axis disposed on one of the hinge side edges to close said housing.

Plus particulièrement dans ce cadre, ledit capot rabattable comporte de plus des moyens pour maintenir le capot en position fermée une fois rabattu sur ledit logement.More particularly in this context, said folding cover further comprises means for holding the hood in the closed position once folded over said housing.

Plus particulièrement encore dans ce cadre, ledit capot comporte de plus des moyens pour bloquer lesdits moyens de diffusion dudit liquide une fois ledit capot rabattu.More particularly still in this context, said cover further comprises means for blocking said diffusion means of said liquid once said hood folded.

De manière générale, lesdits moyens pour diffuser le liquide sont constitués d'un bouton poussoir actionnant une pompe plongeant dans ledit réservoir de liquide.In general, said means for diffusing the liquid consist of a push button actuating a pump immersed in said liquid reservoir.

Dans le mode préférentiel de réalisation du dispositif selon l'invention ledit bouton poussoir est intégré à l'arête supérieure de la paroi et porte la même épaisseur de matière que ladite arête, cette épaisseur de matière prenant appui sur la paroi supérieure dudit capot rabattable, une fois celui-ci rabattu, empêchant de pouvoir actionner ledit bouton poussoir.In the preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention said push button is integrated in the upper edge of the wall and has the same thickness of material as said edge, this thickness of material bearing on the upper wall of said folding cover, once it is folded, preventing the actuation of said push button.

Avantageusement, le dispositif selon l'invention pourra comporter de plus des moyens pour retenir la lingette une fois celle-ci retirée du logement et éventuellement la ramener mécaniquement dans ledit logement.Advantageously, the device according to the invention may further comprise means for retaining the wipe once it removed from the housing and optionally mechanically bring it into said housing.

Dans cette configuration, il sera impossible de perdre la lingette pendant ou après son utilisation, celle-ci étant retenue puis ramenée dans son logement.In this configuration, it will be impossible to lose the wipe during or after use, the latter being retained and then returned to its housing.

Par exemple, lesdits moyens pour retenir la lingette sont une cordelette reliée à une poulie munie d'un ressort de rappel et d'un déclencheur.For example, said means for retaining the wipe are a cord connected to a pulley provided with a return spring and a trigger.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description détaillée faite ci-après en référence aux dessins annexés sur lesquels :

  • La figure unique représente une vue en élévation d'un dispositif selon l'invention dans un mode de réalisation préférentiel, ouvert et la lingette ôtée.
The invention will be better understood on reading the detailed description given below with reference to the appended drawings in which:
  • The single figure shows an elevational view of a device according to the invention in a preferred embodiment, open and the wipe removed.

Le dispositif tel que représenté sur la figure unique est typiquement un dispositif pour la diffusion et l'application d'un liquide sur une surface.The device as shown in the single figure is typically a device for the diffusion and application of a liquid on a surface.

Ce dispositif comprend un réservoir 1 de liquide 1, par exemple de l'alcool isopropylique pour nettoyer les verres d'une paire de lunettes, et des moyens 2 pour diffuser le liquide hors du réservoir 1 vers, par exemple, la surface des verres à nettoyer.This device comprises a reservoir 1 of liquid 1, for example isopropyl alcohol to clean the glasses of a pair of glasses, and means 2 for diffusing the liquid out of the tank 1 to, for example, the surface of the glasses. clean.

Typiquement ici, lesdits moyens 2 pour diffuser le liquide sont constitués d'un bouton poussoir actionnant une pompe (non représentée) plongeant dans le réservoir 1 de liquide.Typically here, said means 2 for diffusing the liquid consist of a push button actuating a pump (not shown) immersed in the reservoir 1 of liquid.

Le réservoir 1 est limité par une paroi 3 qui comporte, du côté opposé au réservoir 1, un logement L pour la lingette.The reservoir 1 is limited by a wall 3 which comprises, on the opposite side to the reservoir 1, a housing L for the wipe.

Dans la représentation de la figure unique, la paroi 3 comporte une arête supérieure 4, une arête inférieure 5 et deux arêtes latérales 6, 7.In the representation of the single figure, the wall 3 has an upper edge 4, a lower edge 5 and two lateral edges 6, 7.

Chacune des arêtes supérieure 4, inférieure 5 et latérales 6, 7 est munie d'une épaisseur de matière 8 suffisante pour former ledit logement L.Each of the upper 4, lower 5 and lateral edges 6, 7 is provided with a thickness of material 8 sufficient to form said housing L.

De plus, un capot rabattable 9 est prévu mobile en rotation autour d'un axe disposé sur l'une des arêtes latérales 7 de manière à former une charnière 10 pour fermer ledit logement L.In addition, a folding cover 9 is provided for rotation about an axis disposed on one of the lateral edges 7 so as to form a hinge 10 for closing said housing L.

Dans la représentation de la figure unique, le capot rabattable 9 comporte de plus des moyens 11, 12 pour maintenir le capot 9 en position fermée une fois rabattu sur ledit logement L.In the representation of the single figure, the folding cover 9 further comprises means 11, 12 for holding the cover 9 in the closed position once folded on said housing L.

Typiquement ici, ces moyens sont constitués d'une encoche 11 pratiquée dans l'épaisseur de matière 8 de l'arête latérale 6 opposée à celle 7 portant la charnière 10 et d'un crochet 12 venant s'insérer dans l'encoche 11.Typically here, these means consist of a notch 11 formed in the material thickness 8 of the lateral edge 6 opposite that 7 carrying the hinge 10 and a hook 12 coming into the notch 11.

Par ailleurs, le capot est prévu pour comporter des moyens 13 pour bloquer le bouton poussoir constituant les moyens 2 de diffusion du liquide une fois le capot 9 rabattu.Furthermore, the cover is provided to include means 13 for blocking the push button constituting the liquid diffusion means 2 once the cover 9 folded.

Dans la représentation de la figure unique, de tels moyens sont simplement l'arête supérieure 13 du capot rabattable 9.In the representation of the single figure, such means are simply the upper edge 13 of the folding cover 9.

En effet, le bouton poussoir 2 est intégré à l'arête supérieure 4 de la paroi 3 et porte la même épaisseur 8' de matière que ladite arête 4.Indeed, the push button 2 is integrated in the upper edge 4 of the wall 3 and has the same thickness 8 'of material as said edge 4.

Cette épaisseur 8' de matière prend appui sur la paroi supérieure 13 du capot rabattable 9, une fois celui-ci rabattu, empêchant alors de pouvoir actionner ledit bouton poussoir 2.This thickness 8 'of material is supported on the upper wall 13 of the folding cover 9, once folded down, preventing the actuation of said push button 2.

Le logement L comporte de plus des moyens 14a, 14b pour favoriser l'écoulement de l'air à l'intérieur du logement L de manière à accélérer le séchage de la lingette disposée dans le logement après utilisation.The housing L further comprises means 14a, 14b for promoting the flow of air inside the housing L so as to accelerate the drying of the wipe disposed in the housing after use.

Ces saignées 14b sont réalisées de manière à rejoindre entre elles les lumières 14a en aplomb l'une de l'autre sur chacune des arêtes 4, 5.These grooves 14b are made so as to join together the lights 14a plumb with each other on each of the edges 4, 5.

Le dispositif tel que représenté est ici typiquement constitué de matière plastique.The device as shown here is typically made of plastic.

Le dispositif ainsi réalisé et présenté permet donc de disposer en même temps d'un réservoir de liquide et de son diffuseur ainsi que de la lingette servant à l'appliquer.The device thus produced and presented allows to have at the same time a liquid reservoir and its diffuser and the wipe used to apply it.

II n'y a donc plus séparation des éléments nécessaires au nettoyage de la surface ou à l'application du liquide sur cette surface.There is therefore no longer separation of the elements necessary for cleaning the surface or for applying the liquid to this surface.

Par ailleurs, le dispositif selon l'invention permet un séchage rapide et pratique de la lingette utilisée dans son propre logement.Furthermore, the device according to the invention allows a quick and convenient drying of the wipe used in its own housing.

De plus, un tel dispositif présente une esthétique agréable qui pourra lui permettre d'être distribué en tant qu'objet publicitaire, par exemple par les lunetiers, ou encore d'être offert comme cadeau.In addition, such a device has a pleasing aesthetic that can allow it to be distributed as an advertising object, for example by eyewear, or to be offered as a gift.

Dans le cas d'un usage pour des lunettes, on donnera généralement au dispositif selon l'invention une taille comparable à celle d'une carte de crédit pour pouvoir être facilement glissé dans une poche et pouvoir être disposé dans tous les endroits pratiques de la vie quotidienne.In the case of use for glasses, the device according to the invention will generally be given a size comparable to that of a credit card so that it can easily be slipped into a pocket and be able to be placed in all the practical places of the everyday life.

Dans d'autres applications, le dispositif aura une taille adaptée au volume de liquide à stocker dans le réservoir et à la taille de la lingette à utiliser.In other applications, the device will have a size adapted to the volume of liquid to be stored in the reservoir and the size of the wipe to be used.
