- the figure 5 represents the second element, in particular the displacement of the wall 24 for pushing the striker 23 against the membrane 22 and perforate the latter.
- the movement made by the wall 24 is, for example, made by exerting pressure against the wall 24 with a finger.
- the pressure exerted on the walls is symbolically indicated using the arrow referenced 50.
- the figure 5 also shows the thrust exerted by the striker 23 on the membrane 22, the latter deforming under the pressure of said firing pin 23. This deformation of the membrane 22 is moderated until it is perforated under the stronger pressure exerted by the striker 23.
- the system returns to its initial position while leaving open the sectors of the perforated membrane 22.

Le premier élément 1 comprend un corps en forme d'un premier récipient comportant un distributeur 3 en sa première extrémité 12. Ce distributeur est pourvu d'une ouverture de sortie 31 permettant de disperser du fluide vers l'extérieur du récipient 10. Pour obturer cette ouverture de sortie 31, avant l'utilisation du récipient 10, l'on fixe un bouchon 4 sur le distributeur 3.The
La deuxième extrémité de l'élément 1 forme, dans un premier temps, une ouverture permettant de remplir l'élément 1 avec un premier fluide 11. Lorsque le premier fluide 11 est reçu à l'intérieur de l'élément 1, cette deuxième extrémité 13 peut être obturée grâce au deuxième élément 2.The second end of the
Lorsque le deuxième élément 2 est positionné à l'intérieur de l'élément 1, une membrane 14 peut être fixée sur la deuxième extrémité 13 de l'élément 1, laquelle membrane revêt la fonction d'une protection d'inviolabilité.When the
Le deuxième élément 2 du dispositif 10 a pour fonction de contenir, en son intérieur, un deuxième fluide 21. Afin d'éviter, avant l'utilisation du dispositif 10, le mélange du premier fluide 11 et du deuxième fluide 21, ces deux fluides 11 et 21 sont séparés par une membrane 22.The
A un moment décidé par l'utilisateur, la membrane 22 doit être perforée afin de permettre le mélange des deux fluides 11 et 21. Le récipient 10 selon la présente invention est pourvu d'un percuteur 23 adapté pour assurer la perforation de la membrane 22, ledit percuteur 23 étant fixé sur une paroi souple 24.At a time decided by the user, the
L'utilisation du récipient 10 selon la présente invention s'effectue de la façon suivante. Dans le cas où un utilisateur souhaite utiliser le contenu du récipient 10 selon l'invention, il ôte dans un premier temps la membrane 14 afin d'avoir accès aux parois 24. Ensuite, l'utilisateur exerce, avec un doigt, une pression sur la paroi 24 déplaçant ainsi le percuteur 23 qui bouge de sa première position, tel que cela est montré en
Le percuteur 3 est pourvu de trois éléments ou secteurs qui sont découpés, en leurs extrémités, pour ensemble former une seule pointe permettant de découper la membrane 22 avec la pointe centrale aidée par les trois éléments du percuteur 3. Comme expliqué en faisant référence à la
Après la perforation de la membrane 22, l'utilisateur agite le récipient 10 afin d'assurer un mélange optimal des fluides 11 et 21. Après cette opération, l'utilisateur peut ôter le bouchon 4 et disperser le mélange grâce à l'ouverture 31.After the perforation of the

Les bras 26 sont particulièrement importants pendant la production de l'ensemble composé du percuteur 23, de la paroi 25 et des bras 26. La présence des bras 26 permet de produire l'ensemble dans un moule, lors d'une seule et unique opération d'injection de matériau plastique, le même matériau plastique étant utilisé pour la paroi 25, le percuteur 23 et les bras 26.The

La connexion entre la paroi 24 et la paroi 25 de l'élément 2, les bras 26, le percuteur 23 et les poussoirs 27 est réalisée grâce à une opération d'adhésion chimique. Cette adhésion chimique est, par exemple, obtenue par la production de l'élément 2 à l'aide d'un processus de surmoulage.The connection between the
Lors d'une première étape de production du deuxième élément, un ensemble est réalisé, grâce à un premier matériau relativement dur, composé de la paroi 25, du percuteur 23, des poussoirs 27 et de leur connexion avec les parois en forme de bras 26. La paroi 24 est ensuite réalisée au cours d'une deuxième étape, à l'aide de ce processus de surmoulage, grâce à un matériau relativement souple.During a first production step of the second element, an assembly is made, thanks to a first relatively hard material, composed of the
