Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of liquid dispensers, such as soap, shampoo or other toiletries and cosmetics, found, for example, in bathrooms.
  • any liquid that is neither solid nor gaseous will be considered as liquid.
  • 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 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.
  • Another disadvantage is that the customer can easily introduce a foreign substance into the tank.
  • 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. The latter will, rightly, be dissatisfied, which will undermine the image of the company that markets the liquid to be distributed.
  • a dispenser according to the invention advantageously allows to maintain a clean external appearance.
  • the tank 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.
  • the holding frame makes it possible to maintain, in a stable manner, the reservoir in the dispensing and reloading position.
  • the user can use both hands to manipulate the refill, the armature holding the tank returned.
  • the user can easily access the different holes from the top of the dispenser according to whether the latter is straight or returned.
  • 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.
  • the support seat comprises wall fixing means.
  • 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.
  • the user is not forced to enter the bathtub or handle the tank at arm's length.
  • the receiving housing of the liquid reservoir comprises a base for concealing the charging orifice.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the locking plate comprises an unlocking lever, which is hidden from the view of the uninitiated user, for releasing the receiving housing of the reservoir of the support seat.
  • 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 liquid dispenser 1 comprises a liquid reservoir 10 of cylindrical shape whose upper face is rounded and whose lower face is flat.
  • the terms “upper” and “lower” are defined in relation to the drawing of the figure 1 , as well as the terms “before”, “back”, “left” and “right”.
  • the figure 1 represents 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.
