To do this, the metering sleeve 11 is slidably mounted in a space 18 formed between the inner and central sleeves 5 and 7.

Plus précisément, le manchon doseur 11 est en contact frottant sur des moyens d'étanchéité formés sur le piston 16, lesdits moyens comprenant une lèvre supérieure 19 et une lèvre inférieure 20 qui sont formées au voisinage de l'extrémité supérieure du piston 16. Cette réalisation permet d'améliorer l'étanchéité, notamment en prévoyant qu'une lèvre 19, 20 soit plaquée sur le manchon 11 dans chacun des sens de translation.More specifically, the metering sleeve 11 is in rubbing contact with sealing means formed on the piston 16, said means comprising an upper lip 19 and a lower lip 20 which are formed in the vicinity of the upper end of the piston 16. embodiment makes it possible to improve the sealing, in particular by providing that a lip 19, 20 is pressed onto the sleeve 11 in each of the translation directions.

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, le piston doseur 16 est fixé par emmanchement dans le manchon central 7, ledit emmanchement étant fiabilisé par la coopération d'une gorge 21 et d'une saillie 22 prévues respectivement sur le manchon 7 et dans le piston 16. Dans cette réalisation où le piston 16 est fixe, le clapet comprend une bille 23 qui est montée sur un siège formé sur l'orifice 3 de mise en communication, ledit siège étant pourvu de griffes 24 de limitation du déplacement ascendant de ladite bille. En particulier, l'utilisation d'une bille 23 permet d'atteindre une puissance d'aspiration du liquide qui est importante, notamment en ce qu'il est possible de cumuler les aspirations puisque l'air n'est pas réintroduit dans le flacon. Ainsi, il est possible de distribuer des liquides présentant une viscosité importante.In the embodiment shown, the metering piston 16 is fixed by fitting in the central sleeve 7, said fitting being made reliable by the cooperation of a groove 21 and a projection 22 respectively provided on the sleeve 7 and in the piston 16. In this embodiment where the piston 16 is fixed, the valve comprises a ball 23 which is mounted on a seat formed on the port 3 of communication, said seat being provided with claws 24 for limiting the upward movement of said ball. In particular, the use of a ball 23 makes it possible to attain a suction power of the liquid which is important, in particular in that it is possible to cumulate the aspirations since the air is not reintroduced into the bottle. . Thus, it is possible to dispense liquids having a high viscosity.

La pompe comprend en outre un pointeau 25 d'obturation de l'orifice d'éjection 9 qui, dans le mode de réalisation représenté, présente un bras 25a dont l'extrémité avant est pourvue d'une tête 25b d'obturation qui vient s'engager de façon étanche dans l'orifice d'éjection 9.The pump further comprises a needle 25 for closing off the ejection orifice 9 which, in the embodiment shown, has an arm 25a whose front end is provided with a closure head 25b which has just been closed. engage sealingly in the ejection port 9.

Le pointeau 25 est dissocié du manchon doseur 11, c'est-à-dire que ledit pointeau et ledit manchon sont réalisés en deux pièces distinctes, notamment par moulage. Outre la simplification de la réalisation des pièces, le pointeau 25 peut ainsi être réalisé en matériau plus ductile que celui formant le bouton poussoir 8, notamment en polyéthylène par rapport au polypropylène, de sorte à permettre une meilleure conformation de la tête 25b dans l'orifice 9.The needle 25 is dissociated from the metering sleeve 11, that is to say that said needle and said sleeve are made in two separate parts, in particular by molding. In addition to simplifying the production of the parts, the needle 25 can thus be made of a more ductile material than that forming the push button 8, in particular polyethylene relative to the polypropylene, so as to allow a better conformation of the head 25b in the orifice 9.

Par ailleurs, le déplacement du pointeau 25 peut alors être optimisé relativement à sa fonction d'étanchéification de l'orifice 9. En particulier, comme représenté sur les figures, la translation du pointeau 25 est réalisée suivant l'axe de l'orifice 9, de sorte à fiabiliser le centrage de la tête 25b dans ledit orifice et à améliorer le plaquage de ladite tête dans ledit orifice.Furthermore, the displacement of the needle 25 can then be optimized relative to its sealing function of the orifice 9. In particular, as shown in the figures, the translation of the needle 25 is made along the axis of the orifice 9 , so as to make reliable the centering of the head 25b in said orifice and to improve the plating of said head in said orifice.

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, l'extrémité arrière du bras 25a est montée sur le manchon doseur 11 par l'intermédiaire d'une fourchette 26 dans laquelle un axe 27 formé latéralement de part et d'autre sur ledit pointeau est engagé. En outre, le pointeau 25 est monté sur le manchon doseur 11 par l'intermédiaire d'un dispositif de déplacement réversible dudit pointeau entre une position d'obturation et une position d'éjection, ledit dispositif étant actionné par interférence entre le manchon 11 et le piston 16 lors du déplacement du bouton poussoir 8 sur la frette 2.In the embodiment shown, the rear end of the arm 25a is mounted on the metering sleeve 11 via a fork 26 in which an axis 27 formed laterally on either side of said needle is engaged. In addition, the needle 25 is mounted on the metering sleeve 11 by means of a reversible displacement device of said needle between a closed position and an ejection position, said device being actuated by interference between the sleeve 11 and the piston 16 during the displacement of the push button 8 on the hoop 2.

Le pointeau 25 est disposé dans le volume étanche formé dans la partie supérieure du bouton poussoir 8, et plus précisément sous la paroi supérieure dudit bouton poussoir. En outre, le bouton poussoir 8 comprend des surfaces de guidage de la translation du pointeau 25 et une butée 28 pour ledit pointeau en position d'éjection. Sur les figures, le bouton présente une surface de guidage avant 29 formée au voisinage de l'orifice 9 et une surface de guidage arrière 30 qui est prolongée par la butée 28 pour former un logement pour l'extrémité arrière du pointeau 25.The needle 25 is disposed in the sealed volume formed in the upper part of the push button 8, and more precisely under the upper wall of said push button. In addition, the push button 8 comprises guide surfaces of the translation of the needle 25 and a stop 28 for said needle in the ejection position. In the figures, the button has a forward guide surface 29 formed in the vicinity of the orifice 9 and a rear guide surface 30 which is extended by the stop 28 to form a housing for the rear end of the needle 25.

Dans le mode de réalisation décrit, le manchon doseur 11 comprend un tube 31 creux qui est intégré à un corps du manchon 32 par l'intermédiaire du dispositif de déplacement, ledit corps étant monté en translation dans l'espace 18. Par ailleurs, le tube 31 est monté en coulissement dans le piston doseur 16 avec une interférence suffisante pour actionner ledit dispositif avant ou au début de la translation sur la course de distribution / aspiration. Pour ce faire, la périphérie du tube 31 est pourvue d'un jonc de coulissement 33 dans le canal, ledit jonc coopérant avec une butée 34 prévue dans le piston 16 de sorte à définir la fin de course supérieure du jonc 33 à l'intérieur du canal 17.In the embodiment described, the metering sleeve 11 comprises a hollow tube 31 which is integrated in a body of the sleeve 32 via the displacement device, said body being mounted in translation in the space 18. tube 31 is slidably mounted in the metering piston 16 with sufficient interference to actuate said device before or at the beginning of the translation on the distribution / suction stroke. To do this, the periphery of the tube 31 is provided with a sliding rod 33 in the channel, said rod cooperating with a stop 34 provided in the piston 16 so as to define the upper limit of the rod 33 inside. of the canal 17.

Selon une réalisation, le dispositif de déplacement comprend au moins une biellette 35 qui est agencée pour permettre un déplacement réversible du corps 32 du manchon doseur 11 par rapport au tube 31, ledit dispositif étant en outre agencé pour transformer lesdits déplacements en translation du pointeau 25 relativement audit bouton poussoir dans une position respectivement d'éjection et d'obturation. En outre, la biellette 35 est pourvue des moyens de montage de la tige, c'est-à-dire de la fourchette 26 sur les figures.According to one embodiment, the displacement device comprises at least one rod 35 which is arranged to allow a reversible displacement of the body 32 of the metering sleeve 11 with respect to the tube 31, said device being furthermore arranged to transform said displacements in translation of the needle 25 relative to said push button in a respectively ejection and shutter position. In addition, the rod 35 is provided with mounting means of the rod, that is to say the fork 26 in the figures.

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, le tube 31 est intégré au corps 32 du manchon doseur 11 par l'intermédiaire de deux biellettes 35 présentant chacune une articulation interne 35a et une articulation externe 35b avec respectivement le tube 31 et le corps 32. Sur les figures, les articulations sont réalisées par amincissement de matière.In the embodiment shown, the tube 31 is integrated in the body 32 of the metering sleeve 11 by means of two links 35 each having an internal articulation 35a and an external articulation 35b with respectively the tube 31 and the body 32. figures, the joints are made by thinning material.

Par ailleurs, les biellettes 35 sont disposées, de part et d'autre du tube 31, suivant le plan contenant la direction de translation du pointeau 25, et l'extrémité arrière du bras 25a est montée sur la biellette 35 arrière. En outre, la biellette 35 arrière présente une surface supérieure inclinée qui est formée entre les mâchoires de la fourchette 26, de sorte à venir interférer avec le pointeau 25 en position d'éjection. Cette surface, éventuellement en combinaison avec la butée 28 formée dans le bouton 8, permet notamment de maintenir mécaniquement le pointeau 25 lorsqu'il est en position d'éjection, de sorte à limiter les contraintes subies par le dispositif de déplacement sur la course de distribution.Furthermore, the rods 35 are disposed, on either side of the tube 31, in the plane containing the direction of translation of the needle 25, and the rear end of the arm 25a is mounted on the rear link. In addition, the rear link has an inclined upper surface which is formed between the jaws of the fork 26, so as to interfer with the needle 25 in the ejection position. This surface, possibly in combination with the stop 28 formed in the button 8, makes it possible in particular to mechanically maintain the needle 25 when it is in the ejection position, so as to limit the stresses to which the displacement device is subjected on the stroke of distribution.

En outre, une butée 36 est formée pour limiter le déplacement montant du tube 31 par rapport au corps 32, ladite butée étant formée dans le bouton poussoir 8 pour venir en appui sur ledit tube en fin de déplacement descendant du corps 32 (figures 2 et 3).In addition, a stop 36 is formed to limit the upward movement of the tube 31 relative to the body 32, said stop being formed in the push button 8 to bear on said tube at the end of the downward movement of the body 32 ( Figures 2 and 3 ).

En relation avec les figures, on décrit le fonctionnement de la pompe décrite ci-dessus. En position de repos (figures 1), la bille 23 est sur son siège et le pointeau 25 est en position d'obturation. En outre, la butée 34 prévue dans le canal de distribution est disposée de sorte, sous l'effet du ressort de rappel 10, à contraindre vers le bas le tube 31 afin, par l'intermédiaire du dispositif de déplacement, de pousser la tête 25b dans l'orifice d'éjection 9. On obtient ainsi une bonne étanchéité au niveau de la fermeture de l'orifice d'éjection 9. En outre, un jonc 37 formé sur la partie inférieure du corps 32 est en appui sur la butée 6 du manchon intérieur 5 pour délimiter la fin de course du bouton poussoir 8 dans la frette 2.In relation to the figures, the operation of the pump described above is described. In the rest position ( figures 1 ), the ball 23 is on its seat and the needle 25 is in the closed position. In addition, the stop 34 provided in the distribution channel is arranged so, under the effect of the return spring 10, to constrain downwardly the tube 31 to, through the displacement device, to push the head 25b in the ejection orifice 9. This provides a good seal at the closure of the ejection orifice 9. In addition, a rod 37 formed on the lower part of the body 32 bears on the stop 6 of the inner sleeve 5 to delimit the end of travel of the push button 8 in the hoop 2.

Par appui sur le bouton poussoir 8 (figure 2), avant ou au début de la course de distribution, le pointeau 25 est déplacé en position d'éjection par déplacement du corps 32 par rapport au tube 31. Pour ce faire, la force nécessaire pour déplacer le jonc 33 dans le canal 17 est agencée pour être supérieure à celle nécessaire pour faire pivoter les biellettes 35 suivant les flèches représentées. Ainsi, par pivotement, la biellette 35 arrière tire sur l'axe 27 du pointeau 25 de sorte à le déplacer axialement. On remarquera que l'ouverture de l'orifice d'éjection 9 a été réalisée sensiblement sans mettre sous pression le liquide, seulement par interaction mécanique entre les pièces de la pompe.By pressing the push button 8 ( figure 2 ), before or at the beginning of the dispensing stroke, the needle 25 is moved into the ejection position by displacement of the body 32 relative to the tube 31. To do this, the force required to move the rod 33 in the channel 17 is arranged to be greater than that required to rotate the links 35 according to the arrows shown. Thus, by pivoting, the rear link pulls on the axis 27 of the needle 25 so as to move it axially. It will be noted that the opening of the ejection orifice 9 has been made substantially without pressurizing the liquid, only by mechanical interaction between the parts of the pump.

Dans la course de distribution et jusqu'à sa fin (figure 3), le pointeau 25 est en butée dans sa position d'éjection et l'effort de serrage du jonc 33 dans le piston doseur 16 est vaincu pour qu'un déplacement du corps 32 induise celui du tube 31 dans ledit canal, de sorte à permettre une réduction du volume de la chambre de dosage. Ainsi, la bille 23 étant plaquée sur son siège, le liquide s'écoule par l'intermédiaire de l'orifice 9 et, lors de la distribution du liquide, la mise sous pression du liquide est également très limitée.In the distribution race and until its end ( figure 3 ), the needle 25 is in abutment in its ejection position and the clamping force of the rod 33 in the metering piston 16 is overcome so that a displacement of the body 32 induces that of the tube 31 in said channel, so as to allow a reduction of the volume of the dosing chamber. Thus, the ball 23 being pressed onto its seat, the liquid flows through the orifice 9 and, during the distribution of the liquid, the pressurization of the liquid is also very limited.

Sur la figure 4, l'appui sur le bouton poussoir 8 est relâché de sorte que le ressort 10 exerce un effort ascendant sur lui. Cet effort induit, par pivotement des biellettes 35 suivant les flèches représentées, un déplacement ascendant du corps 32 par rapport au tube 31, de sorte à déplacer le pointeau 25 en position d'obturation dans laquelle la tête 25b est plaquée de façon étanche dans l'orifice 9. Ensuite, la dépression formée par augmentation du volume de la chambre de dosage soulève la bille 23 de son siège de sorte, sur la course d'aspiration (figure 5) correspondant au retour en position de repos du bouton poussoir 8 sous l'effort du ressort 10, à alimenter ladite chambre avec la prochaine dose de liquide à distribuer.On the figure 4 , the pressing on the push button 8 is released so that the spring 10 exerts an upward force on him. This force induces, by pivoting the rods 35 according to the arrows shown, an upward movement of the body 32 relative to the tube 31, so as to move the needle 25 in the closed position in which the head 25b is pressed tightly in the orifice 9. Then, the depression formed by increasing the volume of the metering chamber raises the ball 23 of its seat so, on the suction stroke ( figure 5 ) corresponding to the return to the rest position of the push button 8 under the force of the spring 10, to supply said chamber with the next dose of liquid to be dispensed.
