Description

ACTIONNEUR LATÉRAL POUR DISTRIBUTEUR DE CONTENANT  SIDE ACTUATOR FOR CONTAINER DISPENSER
DE COSMÉTIQUES  COSMETICS
La présente invention concerne un système d'actionnement latéral destiné à être associé à, ou monté sur un dispositif de distribution de produit fluide lui-même associé ou monté sur un récipient contenant le fluide à distribuer qui peut-être un liquide ou un produit visqueux. L'actionnement de ce dispositif de distribution permet d'extraire du récipient le fluide qui est distribué à travers un orifice de distribution. The present invention relates to a lateral actuating system intended to be associated with or mounted on a fluid dispenser device itself associated or mounted on a container containing the fluid to be dispensed which may be a liquid or a viscous product . The actuation of this dispensing device makes it possible to extract from the container the fluid that is dispensed through a dispensing orifice.
Usuellement, le dispositif de distribution est constitué d'un corps enfermant le mécanisme et monté fixement sur le col du récipient. Le dispositif de distribution comprend également un poussoir déplaçable axialement. Généralement l'actionnement du poussoir se fait par l'index de haut en bas et il n'est pas toujours aisé à la fois de maintenir le récipient et d'appuyer sur le poussoir, l'effort nécessaire pour actionner le dispositif de distribution étant souvent conséquent (de l'ordre de 2kg) et manquant de confort d'utilisation. Usually, the dispensing device consists of a body enclosing the mechanism and fixedly mounted on the neck of the container. The dispensing device also comprises an axially displaceable pusher. Generally the actuation of the pusher is done by the index from top to bottom and it is not always easy both to maintain the container and to press the pusher, the force required to actuate the dispensing device being often consequent (of the order of 2kg) and lacking comfort of use.
Dans l'art antérieur on connaît plusieurs brevets qui permettent un enfoncement axial du dispositif de distribution par un système de conversion du mouvement axial par une poussée latérale. In the prior art several patents are known which allow an axial depression of the dispensing device by a system for converting the axial movement by a lateral thrust.
Le brevet européen EP 0385863 A1 décrit une capsule pour flacon à pulvérisateur muni d'un dispositif de commande fixé sur le poussoir, constitué d'une jupe de fixation prolongée par des organes d'actionnement de type leviers et/ou pattes auxquels la jupe est reliée par une partie flexible. Sous l'effet d'une poussée latérale sur lesdits moyens d'actionnement le poussoir est enfoncé axialement. La poussée latérale s'effectue au travers d'ailettes ou de demi-coquilles par l'intermédiaire du pouce et de l'index. Cette poussée a pour effet de faire pivoter des leviers et des pattes provoquant l'actionnement de la partie distributrice en déformant également la partie flexible de la capsule. The European patent EP 0385863 A1 discloses a capsule for a spray bottle equipped with a control device attached to the pusher, consisting of an extended fixing skirt by levers and / or legs-type actuating members to which the skirt is connected by a flexible part. Under the effect of a lateral thrust on said actuating means the pusher is pressed axially. The lateral thrust is made through fins or half-shells through the thumb and forefinger. This thrust has the effect of pivoting levers and tabs causing the actuation of the dispensing portion also deforming the flexible portion of the capsule.
On connaît également le brevet européen EP 0734968 A1 , ce dernier décrivant une tête de pulvérisation comprenant également deux leviers, ceux-ci étant reliés entre eux par une pièce de connexion avec au moins une partie flexible. Cette partie flexible présente une pièce médiane faisant saillie au- dessus du poussoir de pulvérisation et la contactant au repos. Le pivotement des deux leviers suivant un axe situé au dessus de la pièce de connexion déforme celle-ci et déclenche le mécanisme. Les dispositifs précités sont caractérisés par des leviers, ailettes ou lamelles qui en pivotant introduisent le plus souvent une déformation assez complexe d'un élément souple. Si comme dans le cas du brevet WO 01/26995 A1 , il n'y a pas de déformation mais uniquement le pivotement de pattes ou de lamelles, ou comme dans le cas du brevet GB 1256001 la déformation des lamelles articulées, fixées sur le poussoir est faible, ces conceptions nécessitent un encombrement en hauteur important nécessaire à l'effet de levier. European patent EP 0734968 A1 is also known, the latter describing a spray head also comprising two levers, the latter being interconnected by a connection piece with at least one flexible part. This flexible portion has a central piece protruding above the pusher and contacting the resting. The pivoting of the two levers along an axis located above the connecting piece deforms the latter and triggers the mechanism. The aforementioned devices are characterized by levers, fins or blades which pivoting most often introduce a fairly complex deformation of a flexible element. If, as in the case of patent WO 01/26995 A1, there is no deformation but only the pivoting of lugs or flaps, or as in the case of patent GB 1256001 the deformation of the hinged flaps fixed on the pusher is low, these designs require a large footprint required for leverage.
L'utilisation de ces dispositifs n'est pas toujours satisfaisante et présente dans le cas de certaines utilisations des inconvénients majeurs notamment (qui peuvent expliquer le succès commercial limité de ces dispositifs au regard de leur utilité) : The use of these devices is not always satisfactory and presents in the case of some uses major drawbacks including (which may explain the limited commercial success of these devices in view of their usefulness):
- Une géométrie encombrante liée aux effets de levier et à la place nécessaire pour la déformation des éléments souples. Cet encombrement n'est pas toujours compatible avec l'esthétique des flacons notamment de parfum. - Cumbersome geometry related to the leverage effects and the necessary place for the deformation of the flexible elements. This size is not always compatible with the aesthetics of flasks including perfume.
- Ces systèmes nécessitent souvent, à cause des déformations nécessaires et souvent multiples, un effort plus important que si l'effort avait été simplement axial comme sur les systèmes traditionnels, ce qui est malvenu avec la sensation de confort recherchée. These systems often require, because of the necessary and often multiple deformations, a greater effort than if the effort had been simply axial as on traditional systems, which is wrong with the sensation of comfort sought.
- Une course latérale souvent importante et inconfortable pour réaliser la course complète de l'organe de distribution. - A side stroke often important and uncomfortable to achieve the full race of the dispenser.
- Un surcoût de fabrication lié à la complexité des éléments de déformation à leur nombre et à l'assemblage de pièces plus ou moins complexes. Ce surcoût étant le plus souvent inacceptable dans le cas d'applications de grandes séries, où l'on recherche un faible prix de revient et des géométries de pièces réalisables à moindre coût. - A manufacturing overhead related to the complexity of deformation elements to their number and the assembly of more or less complex parts. This extra cost is most often unacceptable in the case of large series applications, where one looks for a low cost and parts geometries feasible at lower cost.
La présente invention se propose donc d'apporter un système d'actionnement latéral ne présentant pas les inconvénients rappelés ci-dessus selon la technique antérieure et a pour objet de permettre un confort d'utilisation lié à l'actionnement latéral tout en diminuant les déformations nécessaires à celui-ci, permettant un fonctionnement souple réduisant la sensation d'effort ainsi qu'un encombrement réduit ne nécessitant pas de forme de capot spécifique et donc applicable pour des produits luxueux comme les dispositifs de diffusions de parfums ou de crème tout en limitant également le nombre de pièces. The present invention therefore proposes to provide a lateral actuation system that does not have the drawbacks mentioned above according to the prior art and is intended to allow user comfort related to lateral actuation while reducing deformation. necessary to this one, allowing a flexible operation reducing the feeling of effort as well as a reduced space requirement not requiring a specific shape of hood and thus applicable for luxurious products like the devices of diffusions of perfumes or cream while also limiting the Number of pieces.
Compte tenu de ces états antérieurs de la technique, la présente invention s'est fixé pour objectif un système d'actionnement latéral destiné à être associé ou monté sur un récipient contenant le fluide à distribuer qui peut- être un liquide ou un produit visqueux et comportant : - Un organe de distribution de produit fluide tel qu'une pompe ou une valve sur lequel est monté un poussoir déplaçable axialement et actionnant l'organe de distribution. In view of these prior art, it has been the object of the present invention to provide a lateral actuation system for being associated or mounted on a container containing the fluid to be dispensed which may be a liquid or a viscous product and comprising: - A fluid dispenser member such as a pump or a valve on which is mounted a pusher axially displaceable and actuating the dispenser member.
- Un orifice de distribution relié à l'organe de distribution. - A dispensing orifice connected to the dispenser member.
- Un capot ou élément de protection fixé sur le récipient ou l'organe de distribution. - A cover or protective element attached to the container or dispensing member.
- Un élément d'actionnement flexible (type genouillère élastique) solidaire ou indépendant du poussoir, inséré à l'intérieur dudit capot et venant en butée lors de son actionnement sur le plafond intérieur dudit capot ou tout élément pouvant servir de butée, éventuellement ajouré par exemple en forme d'étrier, et pouvant éventuellement déborder de celui-ci au travers d'une ou plusieurs lumières. Ce principe de butée permet un effet d'action réaction en permettant ainsi à l'élément flexible de restituer l'effort latéral directement et uniquement sur le poussoir de distribution. Ceci a pour avantage de limiter ainsi la course d'actionnement latérale pour réaliser la totalité de la course nécessaire à l'organe de distribution pour fonctionner correctement.  - A flexible actuating element (elastic knee type) integral or independent of the pusher, inserted inside said cover and abutting when actuated on the inner ceiling of said cover or any element that can serve as a stop, possibly perforated by example stirrup-shaped, and possibly overflowing it through one or more lights. This stop principle allows a reaction effect effect thus allowing the flexible element to restore the lateral force directly and only on the dispensing pusher. This has the advantage of thus limiting the lateral actuating stroke to achieve the entire stroke necessary for the dispenser member to function properly.
De plus contrairement à l'ensemble de la technique antérieure, cette architecture permet de canaliser l'effort latéral vers le bas du poussoir de distribution et non sur le dessus comme habituellement. Ceci a pour résultat de réduire considérablement l'encombrement du système d'actionnement et de pouvoir ainsi conserver des volumes identiques aux systèmes traditionnels d'actionnement des poussoirs de distribution protégés par un capot. De même cette architecture allongeant la dimension des bras de l'élément flexible, l'effort d'actionnement s'en trouve réduit.  Moreover, unlike the whole of the prior art, this architecture can channel the lateral force down the dispensing pusher and not on the top as usual. This has the result of considerably reducing the size of the actuating system and thus be able to maintain identical volumes to conventional systems for actuating the distribution pusher protected by a cover. In the same way this architecture lengthening the dimension of the arms of the flexible element, the actuation force is reduced.
Dans cette optique le poussoir mobile à distribution latérale peut être prolongé vers le bas, sous la zone de sortie du fluide de l'organe de distribution pour former un épaulement et la butée, ladite butée comprenant une partie supérieure solidaire dudit poussoir et une partie inférieure présentant une zone d'appui. In this context, the mobile pusher with lateral distribution can be extended downwards, under the outlet zone of the fluid of the dispensing member to form a shoulder and the abutment, said abutment comprising a portion upper integral with said pusher and a lower portion having a bearing zone.

Les figures 15 et 16 illustrent une autre variante du système selon l'invention, l'élément flexible comportant quatre points de flexion.  Figures 15 and 16 illustrate another variant of the system according to the invention, the flexible element having four bending points.
En se référant à la figure 1 , on voit que le système d'actionnement latéral selon la présente invention comporte, dans cet exemple de réalisation non limitatif, un organe de distribution de fluide (ici une pompe doseuse) désigné dans son ensemble par la référence 1 qui est positionné sur le récipient 2, généralement en verre ou en matière plastique contenant le produit devant être distribué. L'organe de distribution 1 peut-être une pompe ou une valve. Il est surmonté d'un poussoir de distribution 3 qui est prolongé vers le bas. Le prolongement est ici représenté par un épaulement 4 et une butée 5. Cependant ce prolongement pourrait être de même diamètre que le haut du poussoir. Le poussoir de distribution 3 est étudié de telle manière que l'épaulement 4 ou son prolongement vers le bas recouvre en grande partie l'ensemble de l'organe de distribution 1 , l'espace résiduel 5a (Fig. 2) entre le bas de la jupe du poussoir actionné et l'épaule du flacon étant très faible, pouvant être inférieur à 5 mm voire 1 mm, résultat d'une optimisation de la longueur de l'élément flexible 7 en position actionné. Le système d'actionnement latéral selon la présente invention comporte également un capot 6 fixé solidement sur le récipient 2, idéalement par clipsage, collage ou vissage. Dans la présente figure 1 , il est représenté un clipsage en 1 1 . Le capot 6 dans une autre variante pourrait également être fixé directement sur l'organe de distribution 1 et non sur le récipient 2. Entre le capot 6 et le poussoir de distribution 3 se trouve l'élément d'actionnement flexible (type genouillère élastique) 7. Cet élément flexible 7 vient idéalement en butée dans sa partie supérieure 18 sur le plafond intérieur 8 dudit capot 6. Selon la représentation de la figure 1 , l'élément flexible 7 comporte au minimum 2 points de flexion 12 et 14 de type genouillère. Les deux surfaces d'appui 9 de l'élément d'actionnement flexible 7 débordent du capot 6 au travers des deux ouvertures 10 réalisées dans ledit capot 6, idéalement l'une en face de l'autre. Le capot 6 rempli plusieurs fonctions. Sa première fonction classique est de cacher et protéger l'organe de distribution 1 . Selon la présente invention, le capot sert également de point d'appui ou butée à l'élément flexible 7 afin de permettre de répercuter l'effort d'actionnement uniquement vers le bas du poussoir de distribution au niveau de la butée 5. Ce principe de butée permet un effet d'action réaction en permettant ainsi à l'élément flexible de restituer l'effort latéral directement et uniquement sur le poussoir de distribution sans autre artifice ou déformation que l'effet de levier ainsi généré au niveau de la genouillère en 12 et 14 de l'élément flexible 7. Referring to FIG. 1, it can be seen that the lateral actuation system according to the present invention comprises, in this nonlimiting exemplary embodiment, a fluid distribution member (here a metering pump) generally designated by the reference 1 which is positioned on the container 2, usually made of glass or plastic containing the product to be dispensed. The dispensing member 1 may be a pump or a valve. It is surmounted by a dispensing pusher 3 which is extended downwards. The extension is here represented by a shoulder 4 and a stop 5. However, this extension could be of the same diameter as the top of the pusher. The dispensing pusher 3 is designed in such a way that the shoulder 4 or its downward extension substantially covers the whole of the dispensing member 1, the residual space 5a (FIG. the skirt of the actuated pusher and the shoulder of the bottle being very weak, which may be less than 5 mm or even 1 mm, resulting from an optimization of the length of the flexible element 7 in the actuated position. The lateral actuation system according to the present invention also comprises a cover 6 fixed firmly on the container 2, ideally by clipping, gluing or screwing. In the present Figure 1, there is shown a clipping 1 1. The cover 6 in another variant could also be fixed directly on the dispensing member 1 and not on the container 2. Between the cover 6 and the dispensing pusher 3 is the flexible actuating element (elastic knee type) 7. This flexible element 7 ideally abuts in its upper part 18 on the inner ceiling 8 of said cover 6. According to the representation of Figure 1, the flexible element 7 comprises at least 2 bending points 12 and 14 knee-type . The two bearing surfaces 9 of the flexible actuating element 7 protrude from the cover 6 through the two openings 10 made in said cover 6, ideally opposite each other. The cover 6 fulfills several functions. Its first classic function is to hide and protect the distribution member 1. According to the present invention, the cover also serves as a fulcrum or abutment for the flexible element 7 to allow the actuation force to be transmitted only downwards from the dispensing pusher at the abutment 5. This principle abutment allows a reaction effect effect thus allowing the flexible element to restore the lateral force directly and only on the dispensing pusher without any other artifice or deformation than the leverage thus generated at the knee in 12 and 14 of the flexible element 7.
Pour actionner l'organe de distribution 1 , et donc diffuser le fluide contenu dans le récipient 2, il faut exercer une pression idéalement avec le pouce et l'index vers le centre du capot 6 au niveau des deux surfaces d'appui 9. Cette pression se trouve dirigée des deux côtés de la genouillère en 12, c'est-à-dire vers le haut et le bas de l'élément flexible 7. L'élément flexible 7 étant bloqué par le capot 6 au niveau du plafond 8 de ce dernier, les efforts s'annulent et donc la totalité de cette pression se trouve dirigée vers le bas en direction de la butée 5 du poussoir de distribution 7 provoquant ainsi l'actionnement de l'organe de distribution 1 . La distribution du fluide se fait par l'intermédiaire du poussoir de distribution dont l'orifice de distribution débouche à l'extérieur du capot 6 par l'ouverture 13 créée dans ledit capot 6. La figure 2 montre la présente invention lorsque le fluide est distribué. La déformation de la genouillère en 12 et 14 a permis à l'élément flexible 7 de se déployer et de s'allonger et d'appuyer sur la butée 5 du poussoir de distribution 3. Le poussoir de distribution se trouve ainsi actionné en position basse. Au travers de ces deux figures 1 et 2 on voit bien que la pression exercée au niveau des surfaces 9 est entièrement et directement restituée sur le bas du poussoir 4 du fait de la butée 8, et de la déformation active de l'élément flexible en 12 et 14, réduisant ainsi considérablement l'effort d'actionnement du poussoir de distribution 3. La partie supérieure de l'élément flexible 7 étant fixe, la course axiale résultante est intégralement transmise vers le bas pour l'actionnement du poussoir 4. Afin de faciliter encore la sensation d'effort des allégements de matière peuvent être créés sur l'élément flexible 7 notamment au niveau de la genouillère en 12 et 14. On remarquera également que la conception de la présente invention permet un encombrement limité, le sommet du poussoir de distribution 3 pouvant se situer au repos à moins de 3 millimètres seulement du plafond du capot 8, comme dans le cas d'une configuration classique d'actionnement vertical d'un système de distribution. Afin d'éviter une ouverture involontaire de l'organe de distribution 1 au repos, l'élément flexible 7 peut ne pas être en contact avec le poussoir de distribution 3 au niveau de la butée d'appui 5 ou à un autre endroit dudit poussoir en laissant un espace 15 et ainsi ne pas perturber l'étanchéité de l'organe de distribution 1 au repos. To actuate the dispensing member 1, and thus to diffuse the fluid contained in the container 2, it is necessary to exert a pressure ideally with the thumb and index finger towards the center of the cover 6 at the level of the two bearing surfaces 9. This pressure is directed on both sides of the toggle lever at 12, that is to say up and down the flexible element 7. The flexible element 7 is blocked by the cover 6 at the ceiling 8 of the latter, the forces are canceled and therefore the entire of this pressure is directed downwards towards the stop 5 of the dispensing pusher 7 thus causing the actuating of the dispensing member 1. The distribution of the fluid is via the dispensing pusher whose dispensing orifice opens out of the cover 6 through the opening 13 created in said cover 6. FIG. 2 shows the present invention when the fluid is distributed. The deformation of the knee pad in 12 and 14 allowed the element flexible 7 to unfold and extend and press the stop 5 of the dispensing button 3. The dispensing button is thus actuated in the low position. Through these two figures 1 and 2 it is clearly seen that the pressure exerted on the surfaces 9 is completely and directly restored on the bottom of the pusher 4 because of the abutment 8, and the active deformation of the flexible element 12 and 14, thus considerably reducing the actuating force of the dispensing pusher 3. The upper part of the flexible element 7 being fixed, the resulting axial stroke is integrally transmitted downwards for the actuation of the pusher 4. to further facilitate the sensation of effort lightening material can be created on the flexible element 7 in particular at the level of the toggle 12 and 14. It will also be noted that the design of the present invention allows a limited space, the top of the dispensing pushbutton 3 which can be located at rest within only 3 millimeters of the ceiling of the cover 8, as in the case of a conventional configuration of vertical actuation of a sys distribution system. In order to avoid unintentional opening of the dispensing member 1 at rest, the flexible element 7 may not be in contact with the dispensing pusher 3 at the abutment stop 5 or at another point of said pusher leaving a space 15 and thus not to disturb the sealing of the dispensing member 1 at rest.
Les figures 4 et 5 illustrent une première variante de la présente invention selon laquelle l'élément flexible 7 et le poussoir de distribution 3 des figures 1 et 2 sont réunis en une seule et unique pièce 15 que nous appellerons poussoir de distribution à actionnement latéral intégré. Le fonctionnement est identique à la description des figures 1 et 2. Dans la présente variante la partie flexible du poussoir de distribution à actionnement latéral intégré 15 comporte au minimum 3 points de flexion 12, 14 et 16 de type genouillère. L'intérêt de cette variante réside dans le fait que comparativement à une version classique d'actionnement vertical d'un poussoir de distribution, le nombre de pièces est ici équivalent : Un organe de distribution 1 comprenant un poussoir de distribution à actionnement latéral intégré 15 dans la présente version, un récipient 2 contenant le fluide à distribuer et un capot 6 recouvrant le poussoir de distribution à actionnement latéral intégré 15. Il en résulte un gain économique important notamment par rapport à tous les autres systèmes d'actionnement latéral existants. Un ressort de compensation 17 peut être intégré sur la partie flexible du poussoir de distribution 15. Ces ressorts de compensation 17 peuvent être injectés en même temps que le poussoir de distribution 15 ou l'élément flexible 7 et ainsi ne faire qu'une seule pièce. Ces ressorts de compensation 17 peuvent s'appliquer dans les deux variantes avec partie flexible 7 intégrée ou non au poussoir de distribution. Ces ressorts de compensation 17 sont en contact permanent avec le plafond 8 du capot 6 même en position de repos. Ces ressorts de compensation 17 permettent ainsi de maintenir en permanence le poussoir de distribution 15 ou l'élément flexible 7 contre le plafond 8 du capot 6 même en phase de repos sans pour autant ouvrir et actionner l'organe de distribution 1 . Ils compensent ainsi les jeux inévitables dans les assemblages verticaux et hauteurs variables du poussoir de distribution à actionnement latéral intégré 15. Lorsque l'on exerce une pression sur les deux surfaces d'appui 9, les ressorts de compensation 17 s'écrasent immédiatement contre le plafond 8 du capot 6 et le dessus de la partie flexible 18 du poussoir de distribution 15 ou de la partie flexible 7 vient immédiatement en butée contre le plafond 18 du capot 6. L'avantage de ces ressorts de compensation est d'éviter tout mouvement ou ballotement de la partie flexible 7 ou du poussoir de distribution à actionnement intégré 15 en position de repos. FIGS. 4 and 5 illustrate a first variant of the present invention according to which the flexible element 7 and the distribution pusher 3 of FIGS. 1 and 2 are united in a single piece 15 that we will call an integrated lateral actuating pusher . The operation is identical to the description of Figures 1 and 2. In the present variant the flexible portion of the integrated lateral actuating pusher 15 has at least 3 knee-type bending points 12, 14 and 16. The advantage of this variant lies in the fact that compared to a conventional version of vertical actuation of a dispensing plunger, the number of parts is equivalent here: A dispensing member 1 comprising an integrated lateral actuating dispensing plunger 15 in the present version, a container 2 containing the fluid to be dispensed and a cover 6 covering the integrated lateral actuating pusher 15. This results in a significant economic gain especially with respect to all other existing lateral actuation systems. A compensation spring 17 can be integrated on the flexible part of the dispensing pusher 15. These compensation springs 17 can be injected at the same time as the dispensing pusher 15 or the flexible element 7 and thus be one piece. These compensation springs 17 can be applied in both variants with flexible portion 7 integrated or not to the dispensing pusher. These compensation springs 17 are in permanent contact with the ceiling 8 of the cover 6 even in the rest position. These compensation springs 17 thus make it possible to permanently hold the dispensing pusher 15 or the flexible element 7 against the ceiling 8 of the cover 6 even in the rest phase without opening and actuating the dispensing member 1. They thus compensate for the inevitable play in the vertical assemblies and variable heights of the integrated lateral actuation push-button 15. When pressure is exerted on the two bearing surfaces 9, the compensation springs 17 immediately collapse against the ceiling 8 of the cover 6 and the top of the flexible portion 18 of the dispensing pusher 15 or the flexible portion 7 immediately abuts against the ceiling 18 of the cover 6. The advantage of these compensation springs is to avoid any movement or sloshing of the flexible portion 7 or the dispensing pusher with integrated actuation 15 in the rest position.
Les figures 6 et 7 représentent une deuxième variante de la présente invention. Cette variante est avantageuse à mettre en œuvre dans le cas de flacon et produit luxueux. Dans ce cas les deux surfaces d'appui 9 de l'élément flexible 7 ne dépassent plus du capot 6 mais se trouvent dans le prolongement de celui-ci. Les surfaces d'appui 9 sont augmentées et élargies par des oreilles 19 de manière à se confondre avec le capot 6. En fonction des choix esthétiques les ouvertures 10 peuvent être augmentées et couvrir une grande partie du flanc du capot et également apparaître sur le dessus dudit capot 6. Ces oreilles 19 des surfaces d'appui 9 peuvent s'appliquer sur l'élément flexible 7 ou sur le poussoir de distribution à actionnement latéral intégré 15. Un tel mode de réalisation est illustré Fig. 13 et 14. Les figures 8 et 9 représentent une troisième variante de la présente invention. Cette variante permet un autre choix esthétique et permet également de pouvoir s'adapter à des formes de capot 6 plus larges que précédemment que l'on peut rencontrer sur certains flacons de parfums notamment et cela sans modifier la forme de l'élément flexible 7 d'origine. Dans ce cas les surfaces d'appui 9 sont en contacts avec des poussoirs latéraux 20 et 20a qui coulissent à l'intérieur du capot 6 ou d'aménagements spécifiques 21 . Dans cette variante l'actionnement de l'organe de distribution 1 par le pouce et l'index ne se fait plus directement sur les surfaces d'appui 9 de l'élément flexible mais sur les poussoirs latéraux 20 et 20a. Cette variante est applicable aussi bien avec l'élément flexible 7 qu'avec le poussoir de distribution à actionnement latéral intégré 15. Figures 6 and 7 show a second variant of the present invention. This variant is advantageous to implement in the case of bottle and luxury product. In this case the two bearing surfaces 9 of the flexible element 7 no longer protrude from the cover 6 but lie in the extension thereof. The bearing surfaces 9 are increased and widened by ears 19 so as to merge with the cover 6. Depending on the aesthetic choices the openings 10 can be increased and cover a large part of the sidewall of the hood and also appear on the top 6. These lugs 19 of the bearing surfaces 9 can be applied to the flexible element 7 or to the integrated lateral actuating pusher 15. Such an embodiment is illustrated in FIG. 13 and 14. Figures 8 and 9 show a third variant of the present invention. This variant allows another aesthetic choice and also allows to be able to adapt to cover 6 larger than before that can be found on some perfume bottles in particular and without changing the shape of the flexible element 7 d 'origin. In this case the bearing surfaces 9 are in contact with lateral pushers 20 and 20a which slide inside the cover 6 or specific arrangements 21. In this variant the actuation of the dispensing member 1 by the thumb and forefinger is no longer directly on the bearing surfaces 9 of the flexible element but on the side pushers 20 and 20a. This variant is applicable both with the flexible element 7 and with the integrated lateral actuation push-button 15.
Les figures 13 et 14 illustrent une légère variation du mode de réalisation illustré sur les figures 8 et 9. Figures 13 and 14 illustrate a slight variation of the embodiment illustrated in Figures 8 and 9.
Les figures 10, 1 1 et 12 décrivent une adaptation applicable aux différentes variantes énumérées ci-dessus. Elle représente un surcapot 22 monté sur le capot 6, idéalement par clipsage, au moyen par exemple d'une gorge et d'un jonc circulaire 23. Ce surcapot 22 possède un ou plusieurs ergots de verrouillage 24. Ce surcapot 22 est monté sur le capot 6 avec la possibilité de tourner sur ledit capot 6. Cette rotation du surcapot 22 autour du capot 6 a pour but de verrouiller et déverrouiller l'organe de distribution 1 . En position déverrouillée les surfaces d'appui 9 de l'élément flexibleFigures 10, 11 and 12 describe an adaptation applicable to the various variants listed above. It represents an overcap 22 mounted on the cover 6, ideally by clipping, for example by means of a groove and a circular ring 23. This overcap 22 has one or more locking lugs 24. This overcap 22 is mounted on the cover 6 with the possibility of turning on said cover 6. This rotation of the overcap 22 around the cover 6 is intended to lock and unlock the dispensing member 1. In the unlocked position the bearing surfaces 9 of the flexible element
7 sont actionnables et l'ouverture 13 du capot est visible. Le système d'actionnement latéral peut être activé. Si l'on tourne le surcapot 22 en position verrouillée, les ergots 24 se logent dans l'espace 25 situé à l'arrière des surfaces d'appui 9 de l'élément flexible 7 empêchant ainsi la déformation dudit élément flexible 7 et donc l'activation de l'organe de distribution 1 . Cette adaptation permet ainsi d'éviter tout actionnement involontaire de l'organe de distribution 1 . Lors du verrouillage le surcapot 22 peut aussi occulter l'ouverture 13 créée dans le capot 6 pour laisser passer la diffusion du fluide par l'organe de distribution 1 . Les figures 15 et 16 illustrent une autre variante du système selon l'invention, l'élément flexible comportant quatre points de flexion. Le nombre de points de flexion n'est pas limité à deux ou quatre mais dépend du profil choisi pour l'élément flexible. 7 are operable and the opening 13 of the cover is visible. The lateral actuation system can be activated. If the overpap 22 is turned in the locked position, the lugs 24 are housed in the space 25 located at the rear of the bearing surfaces 9 of the flexible element 7 thus preventing the deformation of said flexible element 7 and thus the activation of the dispensing member 1. This adaptation thus makes it possible to avoid any unintentional actuation of the dispensing member 1. During locking the overpass 22 can also obscure the opening 13 created in the cover 6 to let the diffusion of the fluid through the dispensing member 1. Figures 15 and 16 illustrate another variant of the system according to the invention, the flexible element having four bending points. The number of flex points is not limited to two or four but depends on the profile chosen for the flexible element.
