Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a spray head for fluid dispensing device.
  • Spray heads for fluid dispensing devices are well known. These heads generally comprise several parts, namely a body forming the head and one or two part (s) forming the nozzle, that is to say the part that creates the spray by swirling the fluid when it is distributed .
  • a small sleeve is moved outwardly into the downstream end of the head to define therewith said spray profile.
  • a so-called internal jet it is an insert inserted through the inside of the head which cooperates with the end wall thereof to define the spray profile.
  • the spray patterns generally comprise a plurality of non-radial channels, including three, formed either in the bottom wall of the head, or on the outer nozzle sleeve, or on the inner nozzle insert.
  • the spraying is carried out only by the cooperation of these two parts, that is to say on the one hand the external nozzle with the head and on the other hand the inner nozzle with the head.
  • Existing spray heads require an assembly of at least one part in another. This assembly induces differences in performance from one spray head to the other. This is not always desirable. Similarly, making heads with two or three parts complicates the manufacture and assembly and makes it more expensive.
  • the spray heads are assembled on the piston rods or valve valves to guide the product, which is dispensed from the pump or valve, to the spray port.
  • the present invention aims to provide a spray head for fluid dispensing device that does not reproduce the aforementioned drawbacks.
  • the present invention also aims to provide a spray head for fluid dispensing device that is simple and inexpensive to manufacture and assemble.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide such a spray head for a fluid dispenser device which makes it possible to produce a correct and reproducible spray.
  • the subject of the present invention is therefore a spray head for a fluid dispenser device, comprising a hollow body comprising a substantially cylindrical sleeve extending along a longitudinal axis, and a substantially radial bottom wall provided with a spray orifice, and a spray profile upstream of said spray orifice, said spray profile comprising at least one non-radial and / or non-axial channel relative to said longitudinal axis, said head, said spray orifice and said spray profile being made in the form of a single piece, said spray profile comprising a central stud, the inner end of said central stud, disposed inside said hollow body, being of conical or frustoconical shape, for guiding the fluid product. to said at least one non-radial and / or non-axial channel, said inner end forming an outlet valve.
  • said spray orifice is annular in shape around said longitudinal axis.
  • said spray orifice is bowl-shaped symmetrical with respect to said longitudinal axis.
  • said spray profile comprises at least one channel extending obliquely and circumferentially with respect to the longitudinal axis, connecting the interior of said hollow body to said spray orifice.
  • said spray profile comprises at least one oblique helical channel in radial and axial directions, connecting the interior of said hollow body to said spray orifice.
  • said central stud is connected to said sleeve via a deformable monobloc membrane allowing a slight axial displacement of said central stud.
  • the present invention also relates to a fluid dispenser device comprising a reservoir, means for dispensing the product contained in said reservoir, and a spray head as described above.
  • said reservoir is a syringe
  • said dispensing means comprise a piston sliding in said syringe, said spray head being assembled directly on said syringe.
  • said spray head comprises an outlet valve cooperating with said syringe.
  • said dispensing means comprise a pump or an assembly valve on said tank, said spray head being assembled on said pump or valve.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a spray head according to an advantageous embodiment, assembled on a syringe type tank,
  • FIG. 2 is an enlarged detail view of part of the device of FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 3 is a diagrammatic cross-sectional view of the dispensing head of the device of FIGS. 1 and 2
  • FIG. 4 is a view from above of the head represented in FIG. 3,
  • FIG. 5 is a view similar to that of FIG. 3, showing another embodiment
  • FIG. 6 is a view from above of the head represented in FIG. 5,
  • Fig. 7 is a view similar to that of Fig. 1, showing an embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 8 is an enlarged detail view of part of the device of FIG. 7.
  • Figure 1 shows a spray head 10 assembled on a reservoir 2 of the syringe type.
  • suitable dispensing means may be provided in said syringe 2 for dispensing the contents thereof.
  • these dispensing means comprise a piston secured to an actuating rod actuated by the user at the time of dispensing.
  • different distribution means could be envisaged, for example automatic dispensing means of the self-injector type. Nevertheless, these distribution means not directly involved in the present invention, they will not be described in more detail below.
  • FIG. 1 represents a dispensing head 10 assembled directly on a tank 2, this dispensing head could also be assembled on a dispensing member, such as a pump or a valve, itself assembled on a reservoir. .
  • the dispensing head 10 comprises a hollow body 1 1 comprising a spray orifice 15.
  • This hollow body 1 1 advantageously comprises a substantially cylindrical sleeve 12 which connects to a wall of background substantially radial 13 which comprises said spray orifice 1 5, preferably at its center, therefore on the longitudinal axis A of said hollow body January 1.
  • a spray profile 20 is provided, preferably also at said bottom wall 13.
  • said dispensing head is made of a single piece.
  • the spraying of the fluid product is performed by one and the same piece, and it is not necessary to assemble one or more inserts on or in said head to perform this spraying.
  • the spray pattern comprises at least one channel extending obliquely in the axial direction defined by the longitudinal axis A of the hollow body January 1.
  • These channels 25 extend peripherally with respect to said longitudinal axis A and thus axially obliquely in said wall base 13, to connect the interior of the hollow body 1 1 to said spray orifice 15.
  • the peripheral shape, and therefore partially circular, and oblique in the axial direction of these channels 25 causes a swirling of the fluid when it goes through said channels 25 at the time of its expulsion under pressure.
  • the spray orifice 15 When the product reaches the spray orifice 15, it will therefore have a swirling motion and will therefore be dispensed in the form of a spray.
  • the spray orifice 15 has an annular shape about said longitudinal axis A. This annular shape further promotes the swirling of the product at the time of its expulsion.
  • the spray profile 20 comprises a central stud 21.
  • this central stud defines, by its external part, said annular shape of the spray orifice 15.
  • said central stud 21 has a conical or frustoconical shape, which serves in particular to guide the product to the inlet of said channels 25.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 illustrate another embodiment. This second embodiment differs from the first embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 4 mainly by the shape of the channels 25 and the spray orifice 15. Thus, with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6, it can be seen that the orifice of FIGS.
  • sputtering 15 is here made in the form of a bowl substantially symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal axis A and the channels 25, preferably also three in number, comprise oblique helical channels connecting the interior of the hollow body 1 1 to said
  • said channels 25 thus extend obliquely not only in the axial direction but also in the radial direction, since they are not peripheral around said longitudinal axis, but instead helical, c that is, they move progressively closer to said axis in the radial direction.
  • this particular shape of the channels will allow a swirl of the fluid in the spray orifice 15 at the time of its distribution.
  • the channels of this second embodiment could be associated with an annular spray orifice as shown in FIG. 3.
  • the bowl spray orifice of FIG. 5 could be associated with the channels of the first mode. embodiment of Figures 1 to 4.
  • channels made according to the two embodiments described above could be associated and / or combined.
  • FIG. 7 and 8 illustrate an embodiment of the present invention.
  • the lower end 22 of the central stud 21 of the spray pattern 20 form outlet valve.
  • this lower end cooperates with the outlet orifice of the reservoir 2.
  • said central stud 21 closes the outlet of the reservoir 2
  • said central block 21 must therefore be able to slightly deform, preferably axially, to allow the expulsion of the product.
  • said central stud 21, and more generally the bottom wall 13 of the hollow body 1 is connected to the sleeve 12 by a deformable membrane 14.
  • the entire bottom wall 13 which will slightly deform thereby causing axial displacement of the pad 21 and therefore an opening of the outlet valve 22.
  • the spray channels 25 and the spray orifice 15 are made as in the embodiment of Figures 5 and 6, but it is understood that they could also be made in the manner of the first embodiment described in reference to Figures 1 to 4, if not differently.
  • the membrane 14 is made in one piece with the hollow body 1 1 so that the spray head 10 is always made in one piece.
  • this membrane 14 is formed by wall narrowing created by recesses 19 formed in the bottom wall 13 of the hollow body 11. This embodiment of FIGS.
  • the present invention provides a spraying head made in one piece piece which ensures a good spray fluid during each actuation. Moreover, the fact that this spray head is in one piece and that there is no assembly from one part to another, ensures that all the spray heads from the same mold will produce substantially the same. same performance, eliminating the differences in performance associated with the assembly, as is generally the case with spray heads with multiple rooms.
  • This one-piece structure also allows you to use the syringe in both expulsion and suction mode, including the absence of moving parts and springs in the head.
