  • the feed device may comprise a follower piston which is slidably mounted in said reservoir to bring the product into the pump.
  • a follower piston which is slidably mounted in said reservoir to bring the product into the pump.
  • the tank does not contain air and, in use, air does not enter the tank in compensation for the product dispensed.
  • This embodiment if it gives satisfaction with respect to its purge function, remains complex to implement, especially at the mounting of the ring on the pump.
  • the invention aims to improve the prior art by providing in particular a dispensing bottle whose purge function is performed in an optimized manner.
  • the invention proposes a bottle for dispensing a fluid product, comprising a body defining a container for packaging said product and a dispensing pump for said product which is mounted on said body to be in communication with said tank by means of intermediate of a product supply device, said pump comprising a lower part which is arranged in the reservoir to be in communication with the product, the outer wall of said lower part incorporating a purge membrane, said membrane being arranged to allow, during assembly of the pump in the body, the evacuation of air and excess product in a dead volume and, after said assembly, creating a seal between the interior of said reservoir and said dead volume.
  • the product may be a gel or a cream, for example a cosmetic product or a pharmaceutical product.
  • the bottle comprises a body 1 defining a reservoir 2 for packaging the product and a pump forming a dispensing system of said product.
  • the pump is mounted on said body to be in communication with said reservoir via a product supply device.
  • the pump comprises a lower portion 40 which is disposed in the reservoir 2 to be in communication with the product.
  • the tank 2 may have a capacity of between 1 and 10 ml so as to allow the distribution of product samples.
  • the pump comprises a ring 3 which is integral with the body 1 and a bellows 4 of elastically deformable material, in particular polyolefin of the polyethylene or polypropylene type in which an EPDM, EVA or polyurethane type elastomer may be added.
  • the bellows 4 comprises an annular base 5 mounted on the ring 3, said base being surmounted by a head 6 resiliently compressible so as to define a variable volume within said head.
  • the bellows 4 comprises an axial superposition of annular folds forming the head 6, said folds being able to pass reversibly from a rest position with a nominal axial spacing to a compressed position in which the folds are brought together in order to reduce the internal volume of said head.
  • the head 6 also comprises an upper surface 11 on which the compression can be actuated by axial manual support, said surface being connected to the upper radial wall of the upper fold.
  • variable volume is formed by actuating the upper surface 11 on a stroke between two axial dimensions respectively at rest and compression end of stroke.
  • the upper surface 11 is convex at rest and concave at the end of the compression stroke so as to be able to turn to reduce the volume of the head 6 at the end of compression stroke.
  • the base 5 extends axially downwardly by being connected to the lower radial wall of the lower fold.
  • the body 1 of the bottle is made of rigid material, in particular of plastic material of polyethylene or polypropylene type, to present a hollow tube of constant circular section between a bottom 14 and a neck 30 forming an upper opening.
  • the feed device comprises a follower piston 15 which is slidably mounted in the reservoir 2 to bring the product into a feed tube 16.
  • the tank 2 may not contain air. In use, air does not enter the tank in compensation for the dispensed product.
  • the bottom 14 of the body 1 then has an orifice 17 allowing the entry of air into the body 1 in compensation for the sliding of the piston 15.
  • This orifice may be covered with a porous label, for example paper, to limit the gas exchange and thus the evaporation of the packaged product.
  • the tube 16 is integrated in the ring 3 and comprises the lower part 40 which is arranged in the reservoir for communicating the pump with the product.
  • the ring 3 is made of rigid material, in particular of plastic material of polyethylene or polypropylene type, to be associated, in particular by tight fitting, in the neck 30.
  • the ring 3 comprises a lower bearing surface 31 of mounting which is clamped in a groove 32 formed in the body 1, said groove delimiting down the neck 30.
  • the ring 3 is provided with a channel 19 for feeding the product into the interior of the bellows 4, the upstream portion of said channel being formed in the feed tube 16 and its downstream part being formed in an upper chimney 20 of the ring 3, said chimney surmounting said tube to be disposed inside the bellows 4.
  • the lower portion 40 allows communication between the supply channel 19 and the product.
  • the supply channel 19 is equipped with an intake valve which, in the figures, comprises a ball 21 housed in a seat formed in the lower part of the chimney 20. More specifically, the chimney 20 has a frustoconical lower part. which is connected to the upper end of the tube 16, the seat being formed in said frustoconical portion which further comprises retention lugs of the ball 21.
  • This assembly allows the ball 21 to move from a low closing position of the channel 19 during the compression of the bellows 4, to an upper position of admission of the product in the bellows 4 during the decompression thereof.
  • the pump further comprises an exhaust valve of the product from the inside of the bellows 4 for distribution.
  • the exhaust valve is interposed between the ring 3 and the bellows 4 so as to delimit an upper annular dosing chamber 22 whose volume is variable and a lower annular distribution chamber 23 whose volume is substantially constant, said distribution chamber being formed inside the base 5 to be in communication with a dispensing orifice 24 formed in said base.
  • the base comprises a lower portion which is disposed in the neck 30 and an upper portion in which the chamber 23 and the dispensing orifice 24 are formed.
  • the base 5 is arranged around the ring 3 which comprises fastening rings 3a, 3b arranged to ensure a radial clamping of the lower part of the base 5 in the neck 30.
  • two rings 3a, 3b are spaced axially to become embedded in the lower part so as to ensure the clamping in two radial planes.
  • the dispensing bottle also comprises a cover 28 of rigid material which is intended to cover the bellows 4 between the distributions, said cap in the overlap position being arranged to surround with interference the upper part of the base 5, the ring 3 comprising a ring holding 3c of said upper part.
  • This embodiment by allowing the bellows 4 to exert a radial reaction force when the cover 28 is tightened, aims at improving the fastening and the sealing of the bellows 4 in the body, in particular during the removal of the hood 28.
  • the lower part of the chimney 20, and therefore the intake valve 21 is disposed in the metering chamber 22 so that said chimney extends axially in said metering chamber.
  • the upper surface 11 is close or in contact with the inlet valve 21 so as to optimize the compression ratio and thus the suction conferred.
  • this optimization is obtained with a stack 20 which extends axially in the metering chamber 22 up to a dimension of between 50% and 100% of the axial end-of-travel dimension of the upper surface 11.
  • the outer wall of the stack 20 is disposed in the metering chamber 22 with a radial clearance which is arranged to allow axial guidance of the head 6 during its compression.
  • the outer wall of the chimney 20 has longitudinal ribs 20b which form axial guiding means of the head 6.
  • the illustrated exhaust valve comprises an annular membrane 26 having a base integral with the ring and a free end. More specifically, the membrane 26 extends substantially radially around the outer wall of the tube 16 while being slightly inclined upwards. Therefore, the outer wall of the tube 16 comprises successively the exhaust membrane 26, the retaining ring 3c and the attachment rings 3b, 3a, the intake valve 21 being disposed above said exhaust membrane .
  • the membrane 26 is arranged to be displaceable in bending by compression of the product in the metering chamber 22 between a rest position in which the free end is in sealing engagement with the bellows 4 and a constrained position in which the free end is arranged at a distance from said bellows to allow the passage of the pressurized product from the metering chamber 22 to the distribution chamber 23.
  • the free end of the membrane 26 in the rest position is in sealing engagement on the lower face of the lower radial wall 8 of the lower fold.
  • the function of the intake valve is thus satisfactorily obtained in that, during compression of the bellows 4, said wall is substantially fixed in position relative to the ring 3.
  • the pump further comprises a purge membrane 34 which is integrated on the outer wall of the lower part 40 of the tube 16, below the mounting surface 31.
  • the purge membrane 34 is arranged to allow, during assembly of the pump in the body 1, the discharge of air and excess product in a dead volume 35 and, after said assembly, the creation of a seal between the inside of the tank 2 and said dead volume.
  • the dead volume 35 is formed under the neck 30 of the body 1 being delimited axially on both sides by the mounting surface 31 and by the purge membrane 34.
  • the assembly of the pump is described in which, after filling of the tank 2 with the product ( figure 1a ), the assembly ring 3 / bellows 6 / cover 28 / ball 21 is introduced into the neck 30 of the body 1.
  • the purge membrane 34 seals on an inner bearing surface of the body, said bearing comprising an axial sleeve which is surmounted by a diverging portion 36 of connection with the mounting groove 32. air under the membrane 34, which causes it to bend upwards and therefore an air leak towards the dead volume 35.
  • longitudinal vent passages 37 are formed around the lower part of the base 5 so, when mounting the pump, to allow the escape of air from the dead volume 35 to outside.
  • the pump comprises a pump body 50 mounted in the body 1, said pump body incorporating the lower part 40.
  • the outer wall of the lower part 40 integrates a purge membrane 34 whose geometry and operation are similar to those described above.
  • the pump body 50 is mounted on the body 1 by means of a mounting sleeve 51, said sleeve comprising a sealing surface 51a mounted on a surface 1 complementary to the body 1, the dead volume 35 being closed by the mounting said litters.
  • At least one of the bearing surfaces 51a, 1a may comprise a vent passage which is arranged to, during assembly of the pump, allow the escape of air towards the outside of the tank 2.
  • the vent passage may be in the form of a grooved zone formed on one of the bearing surfaces 51a, 1a, said grooved zone being delimited by a smooth zone on which sealing is carried out at the end of assembly by sliding the bearing 51 a on the bearing 1 a.
  • the body 1 comprises a neck 30 in which the lower portion 40 is sealingly mounted to form the dead volume 35 above the purge membrane 34, said neck being associated with the body 1 to form the reservoir 2.
  • the purge membrane 34 has a base formed integrally with the outer wall of the lower part 40 and a free end 34a forming a sealing lip which bears on a bearing internal body 1, said support being arranged to allow evacuation during mounting by sliding of said lip on said scope and to seal after assembly.
