Description

Liquid dispenser with concealed charging port

The invention relates to the field of liquid dispensers, such as soap, shampoo or other toiletries and cosmetics, found, for example, in bathrooms.

Subsequently, any liquid that is neither solid nor gaseous will be considered as liquid. Thus, a viscous gel or paste is considered liquids.

Liquid dispensers are already known, fixed vertically to a wall, comprising a reservoir in which the liquid is stored. A pump is conventionally inserted into the reservoir through a liquid dispensing orifice formed in the reservoir. A push button, connected to the pump, is actuated, from top to bottom, to suck the liquid stored in the tank to an opening in the push button.

The main advantage of this type of distributor lies in the fact that it is easy to use. Thus, when mounted in a bathroom, users can use the dispenser intuitively, without using a user manual. In hotels, this is all the more advantageous as they are conventionally frequented by foreign customers, unfamiliar with the local language, and therefore may not understand the distributor's manual.

But, one of the major drawbacks of this type of dispenser is that it is likely to dirty the area around the dispenser when the dispenser reservoir must be refilled / replaced. Indeed, to recharge the tank, it is traditionally necessary to remove the body of the pump, which is immersed in the tank, to fill the tank through the passage opening of said pump body, that is to say by the dispensing orifice of the tank.

The pump body is covered with liquid which tends, under the effect of gravity, to flow and dirty the dispenser area, in particular, the floor, the wall on which the dispenser and the dispenser itself are mounted. . Such a dispenser also has certain drawbacks in terms of aesthetics that are not compatible with the requirements of luxury hotels. Such a distributor entails a significant cleaning time for the maids and, therefore, an additional cost for the hotelier.

Such dispensers are traditionally mounted near the control levers of a shower or bath. For example, for a bath, when reloading the dispenser tank, it is necessary to enter the bath to be able to manipulate the pump body and perform the reloading, the bath then to be cleaned.

To avoid entering the bath, it can manipulate the dispenser at "arm's length" which causes difficulties in handling the tank and therefore increases the risk of soiling.

Another disadvantage is that the customer can easily introduce a foreign substance into the tank. For example, a customer can, without difficulty, remove the pump body and introduce water into the reservoir and thus dilute the liquid to be dispensed. The tank then contains a poor quality dispensing liquid that will be distributed to future customers. They will be, rightly, dissatisfied, which will undermine the image of the company that markets the liquid to be distributed.

In order to eliminate these drawbacks, the applicant proposes a manually operated liquid dispenser having a dispensing position and a refilling position, comprising: a liquid reservoir comprising a dispensing orifice through which the liquid is driven out of the reservoir; in dispensing position of the dispenser and o a refilling orifice, distinct from the dispensing orifice, through which is introduced the liquid in the refilling position of the dispenser and

a liquid reservoir holding armature arranged to conceal the refilling orifice in the dispensing position and to discover the refilling orifice in the refueling position,

- The reservoir holding frame comprising tank reversal means arranged to maintain the right tank in the dispensing position and returned to the reloading position. A dispenser according to the invention advantageously allows to maintain a clean external appearance. When reloading the tank by its refilling orifice, distinct from its dispensing orifice, if drops of liquid are deposited near the refilling orifice, the latter are not visible since the refilling orifice is hidden by the tank holding frame.

In addition, a user is not tempted to introduce a foreign substance into the tank since the charging port is hidden by the tank holding frame.

The holding frame makes it possible to maintain, in a stable manner, the reservoir in the dispensing and reloading position. When reloading, the user can use both hands to manipulate the refill, the armature holding the tank returned.

More preferably, the dispensing orifice and the refilling orifice are provided at two opposite ends of the liquid reservoir. The user can easily access the different holes from the top of the dispenser according to whether the latter is straight or returned.

According to a particular characteristic of the invention, the holding armature comprises a support seat, intended to be fixedly fixed, and a receiving housing in which the liquid reservoir is received, the receiving housing being rotatably mounted relative to the support seat.

The holding armature cooperates with the receiving housing to return the reservoir between its dispensing and reloading positions.

Preferably, the support seat comprises wall fixing means.

More preferably, the support seat, attached to a wall, is arranged to move the receiving housing from the reservoir of said wall. The user can easily handle the tank, which is close, when reloading. For a bathtub dispenser, the user is not forced to enter the bathtub or handle the tank at arm's length. According to a particular characteristic of the invention, the receiving housing of the liquid reservoir comprises a base for concealing the charging orifice.

Preferably, the liquid reservoir comprises a refilling tubing which is introduced into an opening in the concealing base. The refilling tubing extends into the base which allows to participate in maintaining the reservoir while hiding the charging port in the view of the user.

Still preferably, the dispenser comprises a locking plate arranged to lock / unlock the position of the receiving housing with respect to the support seat.

The locking plate makes it possible to prevent an uninitiated user from accessing the charging port. Preferably, the locking plate comprises a locking lever, which is hidden from the view of the uninitiated user, for releasing the receiving housing of the reservoir of the support seat.

According to a particular feature of the invention, a holding cap, arranged to hold the tank in the reloading position, is attached to the upper part of the receiving housing, the concealing base being formed in the lower part of the receiving housing of the tank.

The holding cap is furthermore arranged to prevent disassembly of a pump or other dispensing means which would be introduced into the dispensing orifice, the holding cap thereby helping to protect access to the liquid in the reservoir. . Thanks to the cover and the base, the body of the tank is visible to the user who can view the name of the product on the tank or the product itself if the tank is transparent.

The invention will be better understood with the aid of the appended drawing in which:

- Figure 1 shows a left view, in section, of a liquid dispenser according to the invention in locked distribution position; - Figure 2 shows a left view, in section, of the liquid dispenser of Figure 1 in unlocked dispensing position;

- Figure 7 shows a rear view of the liquid distributor of Figure 5;

- Figure 8 shows a right view, in section, of the liquid distributor of Figure 5; and FIG. 9 is an exploded view of the liquid dispenser of FIG. 5 without its reservoir;

Referring to Figure 1 showing a liquid dispenser 1 according to the invention, the liquid dispenser 1 comprises a cylindrical liquid reservoir 10 whose upper face is rounded and whose lower face is flat.

By convention, in the present application, the terms "upper" and "lower" are defined with respect to the drawing of Figure 1, as well as the terms "before", "back", "left" and "right". In other words, Figure 1 shows a left view of a distributor which is fixed from the rear and whose distribution is from the front.

The liquid reservoir 10 comprises, in its upper part, a liquid distribution pipe (not shown), of cylindrical shape, projecting upwards, in which is mounted a dispensing pump 21, forming a dispensing actuator, manually actuated . The passage section of the distribution manifold corresponds to the dispensing orifice 20 of the reservoir 10.

The dispensing pump 21 comprises a plunger (not shown), which is inserted into the liquid reservoir 10 through the dispensing nozzle, and a push button 22, connected to the plunger, mounted outside the reservoir 10. The pump distribution 21 is sealingly mounted with the distribution manifold. The pushbutton 22 comprises a dispensing opening 221 through which the liquid of the reservoir 10 is dispensed. The liquid reservoir 10 comprises a refilling pipe 31 which is formed on the underside of the tank 10. The refilling pipe 31 is of cylindrical shape, projecting downwards, its passage section corresponding to the refilling orifice 30 of the reservoir 10. The refilling pipe 31 is closed by a removable plug 32, which is here elastomer. The reservoir 10 is made in this example of plastic. It goes without saying that glass or metal would also be suitable.

The reservoir 10 of the distributor 1 is held by a holding frame 3 comprising a housing 60 for receiving the reservoir 10 and a support seat 40, the receiving housing 60 being mounted to move relative to the support seat 40. maintenance is here made of plastic but it goes without saying that it could be in another material such as metal.

The support seat 40 is in the form of a bent plate having a first vertical portion 41, of rectangular shape, and a second horizontal portion 42, of rectangular shape, having a free end projecting forwardly. In other words, the support seat 40 is substantially in the form of an L. The vertical portion 41 of the support seat 40 is here fixed to a wall by screws. It goes without saying that other means might also be appropriate.

The receiving housing 60 comprises a vertical bottom plate 63, of substantially rectangular shape. The receiving housing 60, which is removably attached to the vertical portion 41 of the support seat 40, has on its upper part, a cover 61 for holding the reservoir 10 and, on its lower part, a base 62 for concealing the the charging orifice 30 of the reservoir 10.

In this example, the holding cover 61 is removably attached to the upper part of the bottom plate 63. It goes without saying that it could also be fixedly secured.

Referring to Figure 1, the holding cover 61 is horizontal, that is to say it extends orthogonally to the bottom plate 63. The cover 61 is in the form of a rectangular cover, having two lateral faces (a right face and a left face), a front face 611, a rear face, a closed upper face 612 and an open bottom face. The rear face of the cover 61 is fixed to the front face of the bottom plate 63. The rear face of the cover 61 comprises, in in this example, rearwardly projecting hooks 65 forming hood attachment means 61, which are inserted into openings formed in the bottom plate 63.

According to an embodiment not shown, the rear face of the cover 61 is open and the attachment hooks 65 are formed in the extension of the lateral faces of the cover 61, the hooks 65, projecting rearwardly, being inserted into openings formed in the bottom plate 63.

With reference to FIG. 1, the hooks 65 pass through openings formed in the vertical portion 41 of the support seat 40, to block the position of the receiving housing 60 with respect to the support seat 40, as well as openings formed in a plate 90 which extends vertically, parallel to the vertical portion 41 of the support seat 40.

The locking plate 90 is arranged to block or release the housing 60 for receiving the reservoir 10 relative to the support seat 40. The locking plate 90 is connected to the support seat 40 by vertical springs 51 whose stiffness constant constrained the locking plate 90 to move vertically downwardly into a locking position of the housing 60, the locking plate 90 then partially occluding the openings formed in the support seat 40.

The locking plate 90 comprises, at its lower end, an unlocking handle 91, which allows a user to move the locking plate upward (opposing the force of the spring 51) to uncover the openings in the vertical portion 41 of the support seat 40. The receiving housing 60 is then unlocked as shown in Figure 2.

A longitudinal groove 66 is formed in the upper face 612 of the cover 61 from its rear edge to its front edge. The lateral dimension of the groove 66 of the upper face 612 is adapted to allow the passage of the push button 22 of the pump 21 through the upper face 612 of the cover 61. In an embodiment not shown, the cover 61 comprises an opening circular by which is introduced the pushbutton 22 of the pump 21.The cover 61 prevents the disassembly of the pump 21. The base 62 for concealing the charging orifice 30 of the reservoir 10 is in the form of a horizontal plate 69 fixedly secured, by its rear edge, to the bottom plate 63. horizontal plate 65 having a circumferential skirt 620 formed downwards. In other words, the base 62 is in the form of a rectangular cover whose upper face corresponds to the horizontal plate 69 and whose rear face, the lateral faces (left and right) and the front face 621 of said cover correspond to the circumferential skirt 620. Referring to Figure 1, the rear face of the lid, whose base 62 has the shape, is closed by the bottom plate 63.

The concealing base 62 further comprises a circular opening formed in its horizontal plate 69 intended to accommodate the refilling pipe 31 of the reservoir 10 so that it is concealed in the skirt 620 of the base 62 after insertion. An annular disk 68, whose edges 681 are raised upwards, is fixed on the upper face of the horizontal plate 69 of the base 62 to accommodate the liquid reservoir 10.

The receiving housing 60 rests on the horizontal portion 42 of the support seat 40. A through hole 45 is formed from left to right in the thickness of the horizontal portion 42 of the support seat 40, near the upstream edge. of the horizontal portion 42. The side walls (left and right) of the skirt 620 of the concealing base 62 each comprise a through hole, the openings of the base 62 and the support seat 40 are traversed by a rod which is locked at its ends. end by anti-translational rings. The rod forms, for the base 62 and the support seat 40, a tilting hinge for tilting the base 62, which is movable, relative to the support seat 40, which is fixed.

When the reservoir 10 is mounted in its housing 60, the refilling pipe 31 of the reservoir 10 is introduced into the opening of the horizontal plate 69 of the concealing base 62, the lower face of the reservoir 10 being received in the annular disc 68 to raised edges 681, said edges 681 coming into contact with the side face of the reservoir 10. The reservoir 10 extends, in its length, parallel to the bottom plate 63 of the receiving housing 60. The cap 61 is then attached to the reservoir 10 by passing the pushbutton 22 of the pump 21 into the groove 66 of the upper face 612 of the cover 61 provided for this purpose. The fastening hooks 65 of the cover 61 are then successively inserted in the openings of the bottom plate 63 of the housing 60, in the openings of the vertical part 41 of the support seat 40 and in the openings of the locking plate 90, the reservoir 10 being held at the bottom plate 63, itself held by the support seat 40.

In the locked dispensing position, the bottom plate 63 extends parallel to the vertical portion 41 of the support seat 40, the lower edge of the bottom plate 63 resting on the horizontal portion 42 of the support seat 40. circumferential skirt 620 of the base 62 covers the horizontal portion 42 of the support seat 40 which is not visible from the outside.

After describing the means of the invention, its implementation will now be described in more detail.

In dispensing position, the reservoir 10 is straight. Its dispensing nozzle is oriented upwards while its refilling pipe 31 is oriented downwards as shown in FIG.

A user, who wishes to obtain a dose of liquid from the dispenser 1, here liquid soap, presses upwardly on the push button 22 of the pump 21 to cause the suction of the soap tank 10 by the plunger of the pump 21. The soap is recovered by the user through a dispensing opening 221 formed in the push button 22.

The use of the dispenser 1 is simple and intuitive, the pump 21 with vertical operation for accurate dosing of the liquid. On the other hand, the user can not introduce, simply and quickly, a foreign substance in the tank 10. In fact, the cover 61 of the distributor 1 prevents disassembly of the pump 21 by an uninitiated person, the cover 61 being locked by the locking plate 90. The uninitiated user is not aware that the dispenser 1 has a refilling port 30 distinct from the dispensing orifice 20, since the refilling orifice 30 is concealed in the skirt 620 of the base 62. The liquid soap reloading steps of the dispenser 1 will now be described in more detail.

In the dispensing position, the receiving housing 60 rests the horizontal portion 42 of the support seat 40 (Figure 1). After unlocking, the housing 60 is tilted forward as shown in Figure 3 to be in the reloading position (Figure 4). In the reload position, the reservoir

10 is turned upside down, its dispensing nozzle being oriented downwards while its refilling pipe 31 is oriented upwards as shown in FIG. 4.

Before tilting, the user actuates the release lever 91 to release the fastening hooks 65 from the locking plate 90, the hooks 65 remaining fixed to the bottom plate 63 of the receiving housing 60.

During tilting, the hinge, formed by the cooperation of the rod and the through holes in the base 62 and the support seat 40, rotates the receiving housing 60 relative to the support seat 40 which remains fixed. In this example, the support seat 40 is secured to a wall.

After tilting half a turn, the lower edge of the front face of the skirt 620 abuts the lower face of the horizontal portion 42 of the support seat 40, as shown in FIG. 4. The reservoir 10 is held in position returned with its refilling pipe 31 facing upwards. Thanks to the stop made by the lower edge of the front face of the skirt 620, the reloading position is stable. The refilling pipe 31, closed by the plug 32, is then discovered. The tank 10 is, for its part, held in the housing 60 by the upper cover 61 which prevents it from falling under the effect of gravity.

During reloading, the plug 32, closing the refilling pipe 31, is removed. The tank 10 is filled by means of a refilling bottle 70, whose volume is generally greater than that of the tank 10, via its distribution funnel 71 which is introduced into the refilling pipe 31. The reloading operation is easy for several reasons. First, after tilting, the reservoir 10 is removed from the wall on which the support seat 40 of the distributor 1 is fixed, a distance corresponding to the length of the horizontal portion 42 of the support seat 40. Thus, the tank 10 is closer to the user who can recharge the tank 10 without holding the refill bottle 70 at arm's length. This is particularly advantageous when the dispenser 1 is, for example, mounted in a bathtub.

Then, as the dispenser 1 is maintained in a stable position, the user can use both hands to hold the refill bottle 70, the refill is then more accurate and less likely to cause fouling. Finally, even if the liquid of the refilling bottle 70 would fall next to the refilling pipe 31, this liquid would be recovered and concealed by the skirt 620 of the concealing base 62. Once the refueled tank 10, the latter is tilted rearward in dispensing position, the refilling pipe 31 is again hidden by the concealing base 62. The external appearance of the dispenser 1 remains clean after reloading.

With reference to FIGS. 5 to 9, the liquid dispenser 2 may be in a second embodiment.

This embodiment is very similar to the previous embodiment and that is why the references used for the elements of the distributor of FIGS. 5 to 9 of identical structure or function, equivalent or similar to those of the elements of the device of FIGS. 4 are the same, to simplify the description. Moreover, the entire description of the device of Figure 1 is not repeated, this description applies to the device of Figures 5 to 9 when there are no incompatibilities.

With reference to FIGS. 5 to 7, the liquid dispenser 2 comprises a protective cover 81 and a protective base 82 respectively covering the base of the pump 20, to prevent its dismounting, and the refilling pipe 31 of the reservoir 10.

The protective cover 81 is in the form of a rectangular cover comprising an opening in its upper face for the passage of the part upper pump 21. The dimensions of the protective cover 81 are here adapted to suit the upper part of the tank 10 on which it is mounted. The protective cover 81 is fitted from top to bottom on the pump 21.

With reference to FIG. 8, the protection base 82 is in the form of a rectangular cover comprising in its rear face an opening for the passage of holding arms 44 of the support seat 40. The dimensions of the protection base 82 are here adapted to suit the lower part of the tank 10 on which it is mounted. The protection base 82 is inserted from bottom to top on the refilling pipe 31 of the tank 10.

In this embodiment, the reservoir 10 is connected to the support seat 40 only by its lower part, unlike the previous embodiment in which the reservoir was held as well by its upper part (holding cover 61) as by its part. lower (concealing base 62).

The vertical part of the support seat 40, hereinafter referred to as the attachment plate 41, is connected vertically to a wall by screws passing through fixing holes 52 formed in said plate 41. Two horizontal holding arms 44 extend towards the wall. front, perpendicular to the fixing plate 41. The holding arms 44 are parallel and comprise at their free end a through hole 45. The support seat 40 further comprises a horizontal wall 46 whose rear edge is fixed to the plate 41 and whose side edges are fixed to the upper edges of the holding arms 44, the horizontal wall 46 covering only a part of the length of the holding arms 44.

Referring to Figure 7, the refilling tubing 31 is held in a notch 101 formed in a holding base 100 of the dispenser. The holding base 100, shown in Figure 9, is in the form of a horizontal plate of rectangular shape, in which is formed a notch 101 from the front edge of the plate to near its rear edge. The holding base 100 comprises rotation arms 106, orthogonal to said horizontal plate whose holding base 100 has the shape, formed from the front end of the side edges and oriented downwards. A through hole 105 of rod passage is provided in each of the rotation arms 106 of the holding base 100.

The holding base 100 is rotatably mounted with the support seat 40 of the distributor 2. Referring to FIG. 8, the orifices 105 of the holding base

100 and the support seat 40 are traversed by a rod which is locked at its ends by anti-translation rings. The rod forms, for the holding base 100 and the support seat 40, a tilting hinge for tilting the holding base 100, which is movable, relative to the support seat 40, which is fixed.

In the dispensing position, the holding base 100 rests on the support arms 44 of the support seat 40, the rotation arms 106 being external to the holding arm 44 and oriented downwards, the lower face of the holding base 100 relying on the upper edges of the holding arms 44 which are not covered by the horizontal wall 46 of the support seat 40. The holding base 100 can swing forward to return the reservoir 10 in the reloading position.

The holding base 100 has on the rear edge of its horizontal plate a locking opening 107 intended to receive a tongue 97 of a locking plate 90 which is mounted between the holding base 100 and the attachment plate 41 of the seat of the seat. support 40. The locking plate 90 is here mounted on rails formed in the inner lateral surface of the support arms 44 of the support seat 40, the locking plate 90 sliding back and forth on the rails under the horizontal wall 46 support seat 40.

With reference to FIG. 9, the locking plate 90 is in the form of a horizontal plate, of rectangular shape, comprising on its front edge a locking tab 97, protruding forwards, which extends into the same plane as the upper face of the locking plate 90. An unlocking lever 91 is formed in the locking plate 90, the lever 91 being in the form of a vertical portion, projecting downwards, extending parallel to the fixing plate 51, which is centrally formed in the lower face of the locking plate 90. In the dispensing position, the locking plate 90 abuts along its front edge with the holding base 100, the locking tab 97 being inserted into the locking aperture 107 of the holding base 100 to prevent the tank from tilting. in the reloading position.

To toggle the reservoir 10, the user actuates the unlocking lever 91 by pushing it backwards in order to disengage the locking tab 97 from the unlocking aperture 107. In a preferred embodiment, a spring is mounted between the locking plate 90 and the vertical plate 41 of the support seat 40 to push the locking tab 97 into the corresponding opening 107. After unlocking, the holding base 100 can rotate relative to the holding arms 44 .

In this example, the refilling pipe 31 of the reservoir 10 comprises a radial lip 302 which is inserted, from front to rear, in the notch 101 of the holding base 100. In the dispensing position of the distributor 2, the portion of the radial lip 302, which is turned towards the reservoir 10, is in contact with the lower face of the holding base 100. The reservoir 100 is held vertically on the holding base 100, the refilling pipe 31 s' extending vertically under the holding base 100. The protection base 82 is engaged from below, from bottom to top, to cover the hinge and the charging pipe 31. In other words, the holding base 100 and the base of Protection 82 performs the functions of concealing the charging and tilting port that were made by the concealing base 62 in the first embodiment.

The opening in the rear face of the protective base 82 allows the passage of the support arms 44 of the support seat 40 and the locking tab 97 of the locking plate 90. In the dispensing position, the tubing of reloading 31 is not visible.

To refill the reservoir 10, the protection base 82 is disengaged then the locking lever 91 is actuated in order to release the holding base 100 which tilts forward with the reservoir 10 to stop in a horizontal position, the arms of rotation 106 of the holding base 100 then being oriented upwards. The tank 10 is turned over, the radial lip 302 holding the tank 10 integral with the holding base. The refilling pipe 31 is facing up. It is then sufficient to remove the plug 32 of the refilling pipe 31 to fill the tank 10.

It has been described a distributor 1, 2 attached to a wall, but it goes without saying that the dispenser could also be attached to a horizontal surface by fixing the support seat 40 on said surface.

There has been described a rod passing through orifices provided in the support seat 40 as well as in the receiving housing 60 to form a tilting hinge. It goes without saying that this tilting hinge could be achieved by other means, the important thing being that a pivot connection is formed between the two elements. Thus, the pivot connection can be made by two independent rods, each rod passing through an orifice of the support seat 40 and an orifice of the receiving housing 60 / of the holding base 100.

It is also self-evident that the pivot connection could be formed in a direction orthogonal to the wall on which the support seat 40 is fixed so that the reservoir can rotate clockwise / anti-clockwise between its dispensing and reloading positions. For example, the pivot connection may be formed between the bottom plate 63 of the receiving housing and the attachment plate 41 of the support seat 40.
