Definitions
- the present invention relates to a dispensing assembly for fluid dispenser.
- the present invention also relates to a fluid dispenser comprising such a dispensing assembly.
- the present invention relates more particularly to spraying devices, in particular of the nasal type, and is preferably applied to sprayers incorporating a shutter of the dispensing orifice.
- the spray head In a sprayer, for example of the nasal type, the spray head generally incorporates a spraying profile provided upstream of the dispensing orifice and adapted to swirl the product before its expulsion in the form of a spray.
- this spray profile may comprise one or more non-radial channels provided at the bottom wall of the spray head, said channels leading to a swirl chamber disposed just upstream of the dispensing orifice.
- an insert is disposed in the spray head to substantially fill the dead volume of the expulsion channel and thus leave only a small channel, and secondly to form the bottom of the profile of spray.
- An additional piece forming the insert is necessary to achieve said spray profile.
- Shutters for closing the dispensing orifice of a fluid dispenser are well known in the state of the art. There are several types.
- a first family of shutters comprises those which are elastically biased towards their closed position and which are deformed or displaced by the pressure of the product in the dispensing phase to open the dispensing orifice. These devices may either comprise shutters of deformable material, or shutters made in the form of piston sliding in the expulsion channel a distance from the dispensing orifice under the effect of the pressure exerted by the product.
- the document US-5,806,762 discloses a deformable shutter, surrounding a rigid insert, whose shutter function is directly related to the pressure exerted by the fluid within the device.
- Another family of shutters comprises shutters mechanically deformed by a portion of the dispensing head at the time of actuation of the device to dispense a dose of product. In this case, the opening of the shutter is independent of the pressure exerted by the product.
- the document WO 03/041865 discloses a nasal spray, wherein the insert is slidably mounted in the head to form the shutter. A fixed sleeve is attached to define the spray profile.
- the device of this document WO 03/041865 therefore requires four separate parts to form the head, namely the body of the head, the piston, the movable insert (shutter) and the sleeve. The assembly of these four parts can also be quite complex and therefore expensive.
- the present invention also aims to provide a fluid dispenser fluid dispenser assembly that does not reproduce the aforementioned disadvantages.
- the present invention aims to provide a dispensing assembly that is simple to manufacture and assemble, and that does not require modifications of the dispensing head.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a dispensing assembly for a fluid dispenser in which the geometry of the spray profile provided upstream of the dispensing orifice is not modified during the expulsion of the product, thus guaranteeing a optimal quality of the spray.
- the present invention also aims to provide a fluid dispenser comprising such a dispensing assembly.
- the present invention therefore relates to a fluid dispenser assembly as described in claim 1.
- the dependent claims describe advantageous embodiments.
- the present invention also relates to a fluid dispenser device comprising a reservoir and a dispensing assembly as defined above.
- the present invention more particularly relates to a dispensing assembly provided with a shutter.
- the Figures 2, 3 and 5 represent the part end of a nasal dispensing head, but the present invention can very well also adapt to distribution heads of another type.
- the dispensing assembly comprises a pump 50 and a spray head 10.
- the pump 50 can be mounted on a reservoir 100, only a portion of which is shown in dashed lines on the figure 1 . It may comprise a dip tube 59 extending towards the bottom of the tank.
- the mounting of the pump can be achieved by means of a fixing ring 80, advantageously with the interposition of a seal 90.
- the ring 80 can be a separate piece or be formed of a one-piece piece with the pump 50 , as shown on the figure 1 . Its assembly can be arbitrary, for example by snapping, screwing or crimping.
- the dispensing head 10 comprises a body 11 defining an expulsion channel 12 which terminates in a dispensing orifice 1.
- a rigid insert 30 is disposed in this expulsion channel 12 making it possible to limit the dead volume of the expulsion channel and thus define a narrow passage for the product, promoting its spraying at the dispensing orifice.
- the dispensing head comprises a spray profile 20, preferably formed between the bottom end wall of the spray head 10 and said insert 30, the dispensing orifice 3 then being preferably in the center of said spray profile.
- the spraying profile may comprise non-radial swirl channels (not shown) which connect to a swirl chamber disposed directly upstream of the dispensing orifice 1.
- the spraying profile 20 may be formed in the bottom wall of the head 10, as shown in the Figures 1 to 4 , or on the contrary in the insert 30, as represented on the figure 5 .
- the pump 50 comprises a pump chamber 56 provided with an inlet valve 75, such as a ball on the example of the figure 1 .
- the pump 50 comprises a pump body 52 in which slides at least a first piston 51.
- the pump also comprises a shutter 40 disposed upstream of the dispensing orifice 1 and adapted to close this orifice when the pump is not not used.
- This shutter 40 is movable between a closed position, shown on the figure 1, 2 , 4 and 5 , in which it cooperates with the dispensing orifice 1 to close it, and a non-sealing position, represented on the figure 3 , in which it is moved away from said dispensing orifice 1.
- the shutter In the rest position, the shutter is biased elastically towards its closed position, in particular by means of the return spring 70 of the pump as shown in the drawings. .
- a specific spring could be assigned to said shutter 40.
- the swirl chamber of the spray profile 20 is of substantially zero volume in the closed position, the displacement of the shutter 40 towards its non-sealing position creating a volume forming the chamber of swirling.
- Other implementations are however also possible.
- the pump represented on the figure 1 comprises a second piston 57 which also slides sealingly in the pump body 52.
- This second piston 57 is adapted to cooperate with the shutter 40 to move it to its non-sealing position, preferably at the end of the actuation. the pump.
- This provides a number of advantages. Indeed, this implementation makes it possible to achieve a mechanical opening of the shutter 40 independent of the pressure of the product in the pump during actuation. In addition, this implementation allows to open the shutter at the end of actuation, which ensures a perfect distribution of the entire dose.
- the present invention is not limited to this example of a particular pump shown in FIG. figure 1 but instead applies to all kinds of pumps.
- the figure 4 represents another type of pump in which the shutter 40 is extended by a skirt 45 forming the inlet valve 75 of the pump chamber 56.
- the invention can also be applied to other types of pumps.
- said rigid insert 30 is integral with said first piston 51, and the first piston 51 is fixed relative to the spray head 10.
- the insert 30 is formed by said first piston 51, it is to say that these two pieces are made of a single piece.
- the first piston 51 has a through passage 55 formed in a wall of said first piston 51, and which is adapted to allow the passage of the fluid from the inside of said first piston 51 outwardly of said first piston 51.
- said shutter 40 slides inside said first piston 51, as shown in the figures. In this way, the geometry of the spraying profile 20 remains unchanged, in particular at non-radial channels (not shown), regardless of the position of the shutter 10.
