Definitions
- the present invention relates to a dispensing system intended to be positioned on a flexible tube type packaging, bottle or equivalent.
- Such a dispenser must allow the delivery of a more or less viscous product, of the cream, paste, milk or equivalent type.
- the product is extracted by manual pressure on it, after opening and then closing it after use.
- a major disadvantage is well known in the use of this type of tube and consists in the fact that there is a seepage of the product at the outlet of the tube, even after stopping to exert pressure on the tube.
- the object of the present invention is to remedy these drawbacks and for this purpose concerns a system for dispensing a liquid to pasty product intended to be put into place at the open end of a packaging, such as a flexible tube or flask. , which is operated by manual pressure to cause the evacuation of the product through integrated opening-closing means, characterized in that it comprises:
- a base element formed by a hollow body fixed to the open end of the tube and comprising a window associated with a sipe, of substantially corresponding shape and size, which is movable in opening under the effect of a thrust of the product during a pressure on the tube, to be automatically returned to its initial closed position upon cessation or reduction of the pressure,
- a cover intended to cover the base element, at least in its upper part comprising the window and the lamella, and comprising opposite these a internal recess, at least of dimensions corresponding to those of the lamella and depth such as to allow the opening of opening thereof and consequently the receipt of the product of said recess, and then its routing to an outlet hole made in an upper zone of bonnet, the closing immobilization of the strip being obtained by moving the cover until the recess is no longer opposite it.
- the window associated with the strip is made on the periphery of the hollow body of the base element, or on its upper plane.
- the invention also relates to the features which will emerge during the following description, which should be considered in isolation or in all their possible technical combinations.
- Figure 1 shows in plan a complete dispensing system, according to the invention, disposed at the end of a tube, having a tamper-evident band.
- FIG. 2 represents in perspective a complete dispensing system, according to the invention, disposed at the end of a tube, comprising a locking ring.
- FIG 3 shows in perspective and on an enlarged scale the basic element of the system, according to a first embodiment of lamella with vertical movement, in the closed position.
- Figure 4 shows in perspective and on an enlarged scale the basic element of the system, according to a first embodiment of lamella with vertical travel, before positioning it in the window.
- FIG. 5 shows in perspective and on an enlarged scale the basic element of the system, according to a first embodiment of lamella with horizontal movement, in the closed position.
- Figure 6 shows in perspective and on an enlarged scale the basic element of the system, according to a first embodiment of lamella with horizontal movement, before positioning it in the window.
- FIG. 7 is a view from above, in plan, of a base element according to FIG. 6.
- Figure 8 is a perspective view of a cap cooperating with a base member, according to the preceding figures.
- Figures 9 and 10 are views in longitudinal section, according to the embodiment of Figures 3 and 4, vertical lamella respectively in the closed position and opening.
- Figures 11 and 12 are respectively sectional views along the lines XI-XI and XII-XII of Figures 9 and 10.
- the system 1 generally designated in the figures is intended to be put in place at the open end of a package 2, of the flexible tube or bottle type, on which manual pressure is applied to evacuate a liquid product. or pasty, by via integrated opening-closing means.
- a base element 3 formed by a hollow body attached to the open end 4 of the tube 2 and having, on its periphery or its upper plane, a window 5A, 5B associated with a lamella
- 6A, 6B of substantially corresponding shape and size, which is movable in opening under the effect of a thrust of the product, during a pressure on the tube 2, to be automatically returned to its initial position of closure when the cessation or decrease of pressure.
- This slat is positioned to close the window located in the thickness of the base, so that the slat in position integrates and is not greater than the thickness of the base member. When the slat is in its window, it completely closes the window tightly and prevents any product passage.
- the system also comprises a cover 7 intended to cover the base element 3A, 3B, at least in its upper part comprising the window 5A, 5B and the strip 6A, 6B, and having an internal recess 8 thereabove 8 , at least of dimensions corresponding to those of the lamella 6A, 6B and of depth such as to allow the opening of opening thereof and consequently the receipt of the product of said recess 8, then its routing to an outlet hole 9 made in an upper zone of the cover 7, the closing immobilization of the lamella 6A, 6B being obtained by moving the cover 7, until the recess 8 is no longer facing it.
- the slat by its positioning in the housing, allows to cut the flow of product and prevent unwanted oozing thereof, even when the recess is opposite the slat.
- the window 5A of the base 3A being rectangular
- the movable lamella 6A occluding it in closure is integral with an upper right side 10 of said window 5A by means of a hinge
- the recess 8 of the cover 7 being made over the entire height of the slat 6A to allow the angular deflection thereof in opening, in a vertical plane.
- the blade thus rotates about an axis of rotation, in which case the pressure only raises the blade, and the blade is repositioned when an inverse flow is initiated, said flux driving the blade.
- the window 5A of the base 3A being rectangular, the movable blade 6A closing the occulting is directly from an upper right side 10 of said window, so as to make it elastically deformable for an opening angular movement, in a vertical plane.
- the strip is locked in rotation, in which case the strip deforms elastically under the action of pressure and is automatically repositioned when the pressure is reduced.
- the window 5B of the base 3B is rectangular, the movable strip 6B obscuring it in closure is integral with one of the lateral sides
- the recess 8 of the cover 7 being formed over the entire width of the strip 6B to allow the angular deflection of the strip 6B in opening, in a horizontal plane.
- the window 5B of the base 3B being rectangular, the movable strip 6B closingly occluding it comes directly from one of the lateral sides of said window 5B, in order to make it elastically deformable for an opening angular deflection, in a horizontal plane.
- the recess 8 of the cover 7 there is no need to make the recess 8 of the cover 7 over the entire width of the strip 6B.
- the base element 3A, 3B comprises a transit chamber 12 of the product, produced near the window 5A, 5B with which it communicates via a baffle 13 arranged on a separating rib 14, chamber also in communication with an outlet hole 9 made at the upper part of the cover 7, in line with the internal recess 8 thereof, the height of which is substantially equal to that of the window 5A, 5B and the width substantially equal to the sum of the width of the same window 5A, 5B and the width of the transit chamber 12.
- the transit chamber 12 and the baffle 13 have the essential role of obtaining a product output less violent because less direct, because of pressure losses.
- the relative position of the cover 7, and more particularly of its internal recess 8, with respect to the base element 3, and more particularly of the window 5A, 5B provided with the lamella 6A , 6B and the adjacent transit chamber 12 is obtained by rotating the cover 7 on the base member 3 to obtain either an opening of the blade 6A, 6B and an outlet of the product through the hole 9 of the hood 7, via the internal recess 8 of the cover 7 and the transit chamber 12 of the base 3, when these parts are facing each other, or a closure when they are not.
- closure means For simplicity, according to another alternative embodiment (not shown) of the closure means, one could imagine a "push-pull" system, that is to say non-rotating, but in a linear movement from bottom to top or top to bottom.
- the cover 7 and the base member 3A, 3B comprise complementary indexing means constituted respectively by a finger 15 coming from the outer periphery of a lower flange 16 of the cover 7, which can be rotated in rotation.
- the cover 7 and the base member 3A, 3B comprise means of complementary indexing consisting of arrows placed on said cap and said base member, to be compared with the ⁇ from each other depending on whether you want to open or close the system.
- the base element 3A, 3B comprises, in an inner central zone, a perforating element 20 for piercing a lid of the tube 2.
- the base element 3A, 3B comprises, on its lower periphery, a tearproof tamper band 19, in connection with the neck 4 of the tube 2.
- a locking ring 21 is interposed between the base member 3A, 3B and the tube 2, to prevent any attempt to drill by screwing.
- the base element 3 can be screwed or snapped onto the tube 2.
- the invention also relates to a packaging, flexible tube or bottle, comprising a dispensing system as described above.
