Definitions
- Fluid dispensing device comprising a pump
- the present invention relates to the field of dispensing a fluid by means of a pump. More particularly, but not exclusively, the device makes it possible to dispense a liquid intended for a nasal, ocular or buccal application, the user actuating the pump by lateral pressure on the device.
- a side-actuated spray device such as that described in document FR 2 812 826, is already known.
- This device comprises a pump that can be moved axially between a rest position and a liquid distribution position. The displacement of this pump is controlled by an actuating arm, pivotally mounted on the device, so as to move the pump in dispensing position when the user presses the arm in the transverse direction.
- the present invention proposes to reduce the force required to actuate the device.
- the subject of the invention is a fluid dispensing device, comprising: a fluid distribution pump,
- a first arm pivotally mounted on the device with respect to an axis called the main axis, this arm comprising a bearing zone, on which the user exerts a support in order to actuate the pump,
- an intermediate arm pivotally mounted on the main arm with respect to an axis, called the intermediate axis, the axis being disposed on the main arm between the bearing zone and the main axis, the intermediate arm being configured to transmit the movement of the support zone to the pump.
- the intermediate arm attached between the axis of rotation and the support zone of the main arm, can create a lever effect, which reduces the force to be exerted by the user on the support zone to operate the pump.
- this lever is pivotally mounted on the main arm, the orientation of the intermediate arm relative to the main arm may vary during the pivoting of the main arm.
- the free end of the intermediate arm opposite the axis of rotation of the intermediate arm, can perform a translational movement in a direction corresponding to the axis of the pump, to move the pump in its dispensing position. .
- the free end of the intermediate arm does not effect necessarily a rotational movement, it can advantageously perform a translation, so that one transforms the rotational movement generated by the support of the user on the main arm in a translational movement of the free end of the intermediate arm this translation movement taking place in the axial direction (ie along the axis of the pump), so as to actuate the pump.
- a force exerted by the user on the support zone makes it possible to move the pump (or a support of the pump) on a greater stroke than if the intermediate arm was mounted fixed relative to the main arm, in which case the free end of the intermediate arm would describe a rotational movement.
- the pivoting intermediate arm thanks to the pivoting intermediate arm, the user can exert less force to operate the pump than in the case where the dispensing device comprises a single pivoting arm directly actuating the pump.
- the dispensing device allows the user to exert less force on the support zone, or, for the same effort of the user, to exert a force more important on the pump, and therefore to use a pump having a greater activation effort, to achieve specific features, for example certain qualities of spray.
- the above device may require less displacement of the support zone, which reduces the overall size of the device, in particular the inclination of the main arm relative to the general shape of the device, so the general diameter of the device.
- the pump comprises an upstream portion and a downstream portion, movable relative to each other by sliding, and the movement of the pump corresponds to the movement of the upstream portion relative to the downstream portion.
- the device may further include one or more of the following features.
- the device has two ends, namely a dispensing head and a bottom, the main axis being provided in the vicinity of one end and the bearing zone being provided in the vicinity of the opposite end.
- the support area on which the user exerts pressure is as far as possible from the pivot axis of the main arm, which optimizes the leverage, and therefore reduces as much as possible the force to exercise on the support zone.
- the intermediate arm has a free end, opposite to its pivot axis, this free end cooperating with an integral stop moving with Ia pump, the stop being arranged so that the pivoting of the intermediate arm causes the displacement of the pump in a fluid distribution position.
- a fixed stop moving with the pump moves with the pump. It can be provided directly on a part of the pump or on a part attached to the pump, for example on a connecting ring connecting the pump and the tank of the device, or on the tank mounted fixed relative to a part of the pump.
- the intermediate axis is mounted on the main arm at a distance from the main axis less than two thirds of the distance between the main axis and the support zone.
- the effect provided by the intermediate arm is optimized.
- the stroke of the free end of the intermediate arm is sufficiently large in the axial direction, and the distance between the bearing zone and the intermediate axis is also sufficiently large to satisfactorily reduce the effort to be exerted. by the user.
- the intermediate axis is mounted on the main arm as close as possible to the main axis, preferably at a distance from the main axis less than half the distance between the axis principal and the support zone.
- the position of the intermediate axis on the main arm is not the only parameter to be taken into account, the reduction of the force exerted by the user being able to depend for example on the inclination of the intermediate arm relative to the axis of the pump or other parameters.
- the device comprises disengaging means, so that the support of the user generates, after moving the pump in a dispensing position, a return of the pump in the rest position.
- disengaging means so that the support of the user generates, after moving the pump in a dispensing position, a return of the pump in the rest position.
- This characteristic is particularly interesting because it ensures that the pump returns to the rest position automatically and directly after the dispensing of a dose of fluid and not after a certain time, simultaneously with the relaxation of the support zone by the user. It can therefore be ensured that the pump returns to the rest position when the device is in dispensing configuration, in particular when it is arranged upside down, therefore when the fluid contained in the reservoir is on the side of the pump.
- the disengaging means comprise a stop forcefully crossed by the intermediate arm once the pump is in the dispensing position.
- the device comprises a dispensing head and can take a so-called head up position and a so-called head down position, the liquid distribution being intended to be implemented when the device is in the upside down position, the device comprising locking means of the device when the device is in head up position.
- these locking means prevent a defusing of the pump, in the case where the user would be tempted to press the support zone while the device is in the upside-down position.
- the upside down position generally corresponds to a position in which the dispensing head is below the reservoir in the direction of gravity.
- the locking means comprise a ball that can take a locking position and, under the effect of gravity, a release position.
- the axis of the main arm is disposed in the vicinity of the dispensing head of the device.
- the axis of the main arm is disposed near the bottom of the device.

- the axis 34 is formed by pins made in the casing 18, cooperating with orifices provided on an end 36 of the arm 20, hereinafter called fixed end of the arm 20.
- the arm 20 further comprises an end 38, called free end 38, disposed opposite the fixed end 36. In the vicinity of this free end 38, the arm 20 has a bearing zone 40, on which the user is intended to exert support in order to actuate the pump.
- the support zone 40 is represented by the point B in Figure 4.
- the arm 20 is pivotally mounted between a rest position and at least one supported position.
- the main arm 20 is pivotally mounted between the rest position, shown in Figures 2 and 3 and a depressed position, wherein the arm 20 is depressed as far as possible inside the device 10. Between the position of rest and the depressed position, the arm 20 can take an intermediate position of disengagement, which will be described later.
- the main arm 20 further comprises return means 42, for reminding the arm 20 in its rest position when the user no longer bears on the support zone 40.
- These biasing means 42 comprise for example a tongue elastic.
- the device 10 comprises a second arm 44, referred to in the following intermediate arm 44, pivotally mounted on the main arm 20 with respect to an axis 46, referred to in the following intermediate axis, and represented by the point A in Figure 4.
- the axis 46 is formed on a first end 48 of the arm 44, referred to in the following fixed end.
- the intermediate arm 44 has a second end 50, opposite the end 48, called in the free end continuation 50.
- This end 50 comprises an abutment surface 52, arranged to cooperate with a stop 54 integral with the movement of the pump 14.
- the abutment 54 is provided on the connecting ring 16, integral in motion with the upstream portion 24 of the pump 14, this abutment 54 here taking the form of a protuberance formed on a groove 56 extending in the direction axial projection projecting from the outer surface of the ring 16.
- the protrusion 54 has more precisely the shape of a bead. It may also have a chamfered surface, configured so that the stop 52 of the intermediate arm 44 may, in a first step, be in abutment, and in a second step, forcing the protrusion 54.
- the abutment 52 cooperates with the abutment 54 so that the pivoting of the intermediate arm 44 causes the displacement of the abutment 54, therefore of the upstream portion 24 of the pump 14 in the axial direction X, and so that the abutment 52 passes through. force the end stop 54 of the portion 24, when the user fully depresses the bearing zone 40.
- the means 52, 54 are means for actuating the pump 14, and also, in this example, means for disengaging the device 16.
- the intermediate arm 44 further comprises return means 58, for example an elastic arm 58, arranged to return the intermediate arm 44 in the rest position after actuation of the pump.
- return means 58 for example an elastic arm 58, arranged to return the intermediate arm 44 in the rest position after actuation of the pump.
- the axis 46 of the intermediate arm 44 is disposed on the main arm 20 at a distance OA with respect to the main arm 34 less than two thirds of the distance OB separating the main axis 34 and the bearing zone 40.
- the distance OA will be less than or equal to the distance AB.
- the main axis 34 is provided near an end of the device 10, namely in the vicinity of the dispensing head 30, and the bearing zone 40 is provided in the vicinity of an opposite end of the device 10, namely in the vicinity of the bottom 11 of the device. Consequently, the distance separating the axis 34 from the support zone 40 is as great as possible on the device 10.
- the device 10 comprises locking means of the device when the device 10 is in the upside-down position.
- the head-up position corresponds to a position in which the dispensing head 30 is above the bottom 11 in the direction of the gravity indicated by the arrow g in FIG. 5.
- This head-up position corresponds to a storage position. of the device 10, wherein the bottom 11 is generally placed on a support surface.
- the device 10 can take an upside-down position with respect to this head-up position, namely a head-down position, represented in FIG. 2, in which the dispensing head 30 is disposed below the bottom 11. In this head position at the bottom, the liquid contained in the reservoir 12 is located in the downstream part of the reservoir 12, under the effect of gravity, in particular in the vicinity of the mouth 28.
- the blocking means of the pump 14 when the device is in head up position allow to operate the pump only when it is in the upside down position, so that it avoids a defusing of the pump that could take place by suction of air, because the liquid is located in the upstream part of the tank 12 and that air is therefore in the downstream part, on the side of the mouth 28.
- the disengaging means of the device comprise, in this example, a locking ball 60, mounted mobile in a dwelling 64 the arm 20, the housing 64 being defined in particular by a projection 66 formed on the inner surface of the arm 20.
- the ball 60 is movable between a locking position, shown in Figure 5, and an unlocking position, shown in FIG. 2.
- the ball 60 In the locking position, the ball 60 is inserted between the link arm 20 and locking means 62 made on the ring link 16, more precisely between the arm 20 and a projection 62 formed on the outer wall of the ring 16. In the unlocking position, the ball 60 no longer cooperates with the projection 62, so that the main arm 20 is free to move relative to the connecting ring 16. The operation of the device 10 will now be described.
- the device 10 When the device 10 is not used, for example when it is placed on any support, without the user pressing on it, the device is in the configuration shown in FIG. 5, head-up position. In this position, the ball 60 is in the locking position in the housing 64, interposed between the arm 20 and the projection 62 of the ring 16, so that it is not possible to push the arm 40, so that 14.
- the user wishes to use the device 10, he grasps the device through the gripping zone 19, preferably by surrounding with his hand the envelope 18, in particular the bearing zone 40. distribute a predetermined dose of fluid, the user puts the device 10 in the upside down position, illustrated in Figure 2. Due to this upside down position, the ball 60 rolls in the housing 64, under the effect of the gravity, and thus passes from its blocking position to its unlocking position.
- the projection 62 no longer prevents the main arm 20 from pivoting.
- the user can press the support zone 40, which has the effect of pivoting the main arm 20 about its axis 34, so that it takes a position such that that, illustrated in dotted line in FIG. 4.
- the user's support movement F illustrated by the arrow 70
- the user's support movement F generates a rotational movement of the main arm 20 around the main axis 34, of an angle ⁇ (alpha), the movement being illustrated by the arrow 72.
- This rotation of the main arm 20 relative to the casing 18 causes the rotation of the intermediate arm 44 relative to the arm 20, about the axis 46, this rotation being illustrated by the arrow 74.
- the rotation of the arm 44 about the axis 46 corresponds to a translation of its end 50 relative to the pump, translation directed in the X direction and represented by the arrow 76.
- the end 50 drives the pump 14 in translation dan
- the pump 14 is in its dispensing position, shown in dashed lines in FIG. 4, in which position the upstream portion 24 of the pump has slid towards the downstream part 26, in order to suck liquid which will subsequently be distributed through the orifice 32, for example in the nose of the user.
- the pump 14 can no longer translate, and the maintenance of the support of the user on the zone 40 generates a greater force of the end 50 against the stop 54, although that this stop 54 can be forcefully crossed by the end 50.
- the stop 52 of the arm 44 which caused the stop 54 as shown in FIG. 3, no longer cooperates with the stop 54, so that the pump is free to return to the rest position, under the effect of a return means internal to the pump 14, while the main arm 20 is maintained supported by the user.
- the pump when it returns to the rest position, can suck liquid, and not air, because the liquid, in the low-head position of the device 10, is on the side of the pump.
- the pump was able to draw liquid, which prevents its defusing due to the suction of air.
- the intermediate arm 44 After disengagement by the intermediate arm 44, the user having fully depressed the main arm 20, and the dose of liquid having been dispensed out of the device, the user stops to exert his support on the intermediate arm and also delivers the device 10 in the up position. Stopping the pressure exerted by the user on the bearing zone 40 releases the main arm 20, which can thus resume its initial position, thanks to the return means 42 bearing against the reservoir 12 or against the connecting ring 16, as shown in Figure 3. In parallel, the intermediate arm 44 can also resume its initial position, under the effect of the bias exerted by the means 58, bearing against the main arm 20, as can be seen in FIG. 2. By taking up this initial position, the intermediate arm 44 passes the stop 54 in the other direction, so that it resumes its rest position illustrated in FIG. 3, in which the stop 52 of the arm 44 is in position to cooperate with the stop 54 and thus drive the pump 14.
- the optimal configuration of the device 10 depends on a number of parameters that vary depending on the type of device.
- the inventors expressed the force F to be exerted by the user on the device 10 to activate the pump. This force is expressed by the following equation:
- P denotes the activation force of the pump
- OA denotes the distance between the axis 34 and the axis 46
- ⁇ (alpha) corresponds to the angle of the main arm 20 with respect to the X axis
- X c denotes the horizontal position of the point C, with respect to the Y axis, this point C corresponding to the point of contact between the intermediate arm 44 and the connecting ring 16
- AC denotes the length of the intermediate arm 44;
- OB denotes the distance between the main axis 44 and the support zone 40 of the main arm 20.
- the following values are considered particularly advantageous for minimizing the force to be applied by the user on the bearing zone 40:
- the main axis 34 "of the main arm 20 is provided near the bottom 1 1 of the device 10, and the bearing zone 40 is provided near the end The dispenser 30.
- Such an arrangement may be more convenient for the user.It will be understood that the operation of this embodiment is particularly close. from that of Figure 1. Note that the invention is not limited to the previously described embodiments.
- the locking means 60, 62, 64 are not necessarily provided on the device.
- the disengaging means are optional.
- the end 50 is permanently abutting against the stop 54 of the locking ring. connection 16, so that the pump 14 returns to its rest position once the user releases the main arm 20.
- the return means 42, 58 of the main arm 20 are no longer required, because the intermediate arm 44 and the main arm 20 are returned to their rest position by the internal return means to the pump 14, bringing it back to the rest position.
- the pump 14 described by way of example is intended to dispense liquid, but that it is possible to envisage a pump delivering a gas, or possibly a pump sucking an external fluid.
- transversely activated arm is interesting from the point of view of the minimum size of the device in the axial direction.
- the disengaging ensures that a dose has been fully distributed, and thus prevents the user relaxes the arm 20 before dispensing the entire dose.
- the disengagement guarantees in a simple manner the delivery of the dose without overloading the mechanism of the device 10.
