Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fluid dispenser head intended to be associated with or mounted on a fluid reservoir.
  • dispenser head here means the complete assembly intended to be mounted on a reservoir to constitute a fluid dispenser. By actuation of this head, fluid is removed from the reservoir and dispensed through a dispensing orifice.
  • Such dispensing heads are frequently used in the fields of perfumery, cosmetics or even pharmacy.
  • the dispensing head comprises a fluid dispenser member, such as a pump or a valve.
  • the dispensing member generally comprises a body fixedly mounted relative to the reservoir and a valve stem movable axially back and forth relative to the body.
  • the dispensing head also comprises an axially displaceable pusher reciprocating by driving the valve stem.
  • the dispensing head also comprises a dispensing orifice connected to the valve stem.
  • the only possible movement of the pusher is a reciprocating axial displacement printed by the user who presses with the aid of one or more finger (s) on a thrust surface. formed by the pusher.
  • the pusher being directly mounted on the valve stem, its displacement directly causes the displacement of the valve stem. In other words, the pusher and the valve stem move together at the same time.
  • dispensing heads are already known which are provided with pushers displaceable in rotation with respect to their axis of displacement in order to perform a function of locking the pusher. So, the pusher can be rotated between a locked position in which it can not be moved axially and an unlocked operating position, in which the user can press the pusher and move it axially back and forth to dispense fluid. However, the pusher still remains coupled directly to the valve stem so that they are forced to move axially together at the same time.
  • FR-2 904 294 which describes a fluid dispenser head comprising a pump, a pusher provided with a dispensing orifice connected to the pump by a flexible conduit, and actuating means for driving the pusher in rotation and in axial displacement between a low axial position and a high axial position.
  • An internal cam system makes it possible to transform the rotary displacement of the pusher into an axial displacement. Since the dispensing orifice is integral with the pusher, and the pump is fixed, the axial displacement of the pusher necessarily involves a plastic deformation of the flexible conduit which connects the orifice to the pump.
  • the dispensing orifice therefore moves axially with the pusher, not only when the head is actuated, but also when the pusher is rotated by means of rotation. actuating means. It has been observed empirically that the deformation of the flexible duct does not always take place as desired: indeed, it happens that the flexible duct is deformed in such a way that it forms a fold, thus preventing the fluid product from circulating to through.
  • the flexible conduit crucially lacks flexibility and an acceptable solution to overcome this problem of flexibility is to achieve the flexible conduit overmolding.
  • overmoulding requires a particular mold and considerably increases the cost price of the dispensing head.
  • the present invention seeks to overcome the problems mainly related to the flexible conduit in a dispensing head whose pusher is driven both in rotation and in axial displacement.
  • the present invention has sought to eliminate the flexible conduit while retaining the overall design of the dispensing head, comprising a pusher with axial displacement and rotation.
  • the present invention proposes a fluid dispenser head intended to be mounted on a fluid reservoir to form a dispenser, the head comprising a fluid dispenser member, such as a pump, comprising a body fixedly mounted relative to the reservoir and an axially movable valve stem reciprocating, a dispensing nozzle rotatably mounted on the valve stem, the nozzle comprising a dispensing orifice, a rotary pusher manually displaceable axially in a variable direction, and-to move the dispensing end and the valve stem, so as to distribute fluid, characterized in that the head further comprises a transmission part interposed between the tip and the pusher, the piece being secured of the pusher in axial displacement, actuating means driving the tip and the pusher in rotation, without driving the rotating transmission part, the actuating means axially displacing the transmission part between an inoperative storage position and an operative operating position, so as to cause the axial displacement of the pusher between a low inoperative position and a high operating position, the transmitting transmission part
  • the dispensing head does not comprise a flexible conduit connecting the dispensing orifice to the pump.
  • the pusher has been dissociated from the dispensing nozzle comprising the dispensing orifice.
  • the transmission piece can be operatively interposed between the pusher and the dispensing tip selectively, namely in the operative position.
  • the actuating means of the invention certainly drive the tip and the pusher in rotation, but leave the fixed transmission part, so that there is a relative rotation between the transmission part and the pusher. It is precisely this relative rotation that will allow the transmission part to interpose between the pusher and the nozzle in position effective.
  • the dispensing head of the invention retains a global configuration substantially similar to that of the document of the prior art FR-2 904 294 However, the dispensing orifice is no longer driven in axial movement with the pusher, since the pusher is dissociated from the dispensing nozzle.
  • the actuating means may comprise a rotary actuator which can be grasped by the user to drive it in rotation without axial displacement, as well as cam means for transforming the rotation of the control member. in an axial displacement without rotation of the transmission part.

  • the dispensing nozzle is integral in rotation with the cam ring while sliding axially inside said ring.
  • the ring comprises an axial guide slot in which the tip is received and guided in axial sliding.
  • the transmission piece is locked in rotation on the guide ring while allowing axial displacement of the transmission part with respect to the ring.
  • the transmission piece extends inside the ring and around the tip.
  • the part comprises tabs which slide axially in corresponding axial grooves formed by the guide ring.
  • the ring and the pusher are integral with each other and together form a housing in which the transmission piece is freely received in rotation.
  • the control member is rotatably mounted on the guide ring.
  • the guide ring locks the dispensing member on the reservoir.
  • control member rotates on itself on the guide ring which forces the crown and the pusher to move axially, driving with them the transmission part which is however integral in displacement of the guide ring, l dispensing nozzle being also rotated by the control member without moving axially.
  • the result of the mutual movements of the constituent elements is that the pusher moves axially relative to the control member with the dispensing orifice integral with the control member.
  • the present invention also defines a fluid dispenser comprising a fluid reservoir and a dispensing head as defined above.
  • the dispensing head is intended to be associated with a fluid reservoir 1 which defines a body 10 and a neck 11.
  • the body 10 delimits a useful volume which is that of the reservoir.
  • Col 11 defines an opening that makes communicate the inside of the body 10 with the outside.
  • the neck 11 advantageously forms a projecting outer peripheral rim which defines a shoulder 13 facing downwards. This shoulder 13 will serve to hook the dispensing head on the reservoir.

  • the fixing ring 25 is here presented as a constituent element of the dispensing member. However, the fixing ring may also be in the form of a separate element of the dispensing member which is attached to the dispensing member.
