Definitions

  • the invention relates to a diffuser for dispensing a product contained in a container, which diffuser is provided with a base for fixing it on a container and a push-button provided with a channel opening on one side on means for cooperate with a device for dispensing a container and the other side on an outlet opening through which the product contained in a container can exit.
  • These diffusers find many applications, especially for aerosol bottles. However, they have the disadvantage that the push button can be operated inadvertently and that dirt can clog the outlet opening.
  • FIGs 11 to 17 of the document US 5,092,493 describe a diffuser according to the preamble of claim 1, that is to say a diffuser provided with an insulating cap in the closed position the push button and the outlet opening.
  • the objective of the invention is to develop diffusers according to the preamble that do not have the drawbacks mentioned above.
  • the diffuser according to claim 1 Thanks to the hinge, the hood will not be lost. In addition, by isolating the push button and the outlet opening from the outside when the cap is in the closed position, the diffuser is not likely to be actuated inadvertently and the diffusion nozzle can not be soiled before the first use.
  • This diffuser is simple to make. It suffices to mold a base provided with a cap and to provide on one of these pieces a strip that can be torn off and on the other a shoulder that can lock behind a stop made in the strip. When the first closure of the cap, the shoulder is snapped behind the stop made in the strip without being able to disengage otherwise than by tearing the strip.
  • the tamper-proof means are an integral part of the diffuser so that it is not necessary to provide an additional step to set them up.
  • the strip is preferably attached to the cap or base by a plurality of bridges extending from the edge of one edge of the strip to the cap or base.
  • the edge of the strip between two particular bridges forms the abutment behind which engages the shoulder.
  • the strip it is particularly advantageous to fix the strip to the cap and to make the shoulder in the base.
  • the strip it may be possible to give the strip an L-shape consisting of a vertical branch and a transverse branch, and to provide the cap with a recess.
  • the top of the vertical branch may be connected by first bridges at the top, considering the cap in the closed position, the recess and the free end of the transverse branch to the lower part (311), considering the cap in closed position, cap.
  • the shoulder may be wedge-shaped with an inclined surface and a radial surface, the radial surface cooperating with the strip to lock the cap in the closed position.
  • the outlet opening may be provided with a nozzle for generating an aerosol.
  • the diffuser shown in the figures is intended for an aerosol bottle. It consists mainly of a base (10), a push-button (20), a cap (30) and a tamper-evident strip (40).
  • the diffuser can be manufactured and sold independently of any bottle or container. Therefore, these references are made with respect to the diffuser as shown in the figures with the cap in the closed position. This does not prevent the diffuser can be used in the opposite position, that is to say with the diffuser under the bottle, or in any other position.
  • the diffuser has a certain symmetry so that it has an axis main vertical, marked by a cross on the Figures 5 and 6 , which serves as a reference in particular to qualify radial surfaces perpendicular to this main axis.
  • the base (10) consists for example of a first substantially cylindrical or frustoconical wall (11) provided on its inner face with fasteners (12) constituting means for fixing it to a container not shown.
  • the first wall (11) ends upwards by a first annular plate (13) directed towards the center.
  • This plate (13) continues upwards by a second substantially cylindrical or frustoconical wall (14) which, in turn, ends with a second annular plate (15) directed towards the center.
  • the push-button (20) is connected to the second annular plate (15) via a tongue (16).
  • the cap (30) is connected to the base (10) at the first annular plate (13) by a film hinge (17) and at the first cylindrical wall (11) by two butterfly hinges (17 '). Those skilled in the art will recognize that the representation of these butterfly hinges (17 ') in the closed position of the cap is not correct.
  • the pushbutton (20) is constituted for example by a dome-shaped piece whose apex (21) is flattened, or even depressed, to form a support surface for the finger.
  • a trigger for example a tip (22), constituting means for cooperating with the valve of an aerosol container is placed on the inner face of the dome. These cooperation means are extended by a channel (23) leading to an outlet opening (24) provided with a nozzle.
  • the cap (30) consists for example of a substantially cylindrical or frustoconical wall (31) closed at its apex by a slightly domed top wall (32). It is connected to the base by hinge elements (17, 17 ') which are fixed on the lower part of the wall (31) of the cap.
  • the latter can pass from a closed position in which it is folded down on the base by isolating from outside the pushbutton (20) and the outlet opening (24), and an open position in which it is straightened in giving access to the push button and the exit opening. In the closed position, the wafer (311) of the wall (31) of the cap abuts against the first annular plate (13).
  • the outer face of the cap in the closed position, is in the extension of the outer face of the first cylindrical or frustoconical portion (11) of the base.
  • the closed position of the cap it is not possible to press the push button and the opening is hidden behind the cap. She is not likely to get dirty.
  • the open position of the cap it is possible to access the push-button to press on it.
  • the opening is released and the product can be propelled in the axis of the opening in the form of a spray or be collected in the hand for example if it is a foam.
  • the diffuser is provided with tamper-proof means which hold it in the closed position.
  • the cap can not go into open position after tearing tamper means.
  • These consist of a strip (40) attached to the cap (30) by several bridges (41) and a shoulder (18) formed on the base.
  • the strip has an L shape having a vertical leg (42) and a transverse leg (43).
  • the cylindrical or frustoconical wall (31) of the cap has, opposite the hinge (17, 17 '), a recess.
  • Three of the bridges (41 ') are attached between the top of the vertical leg (42) of the strip and the upper portion (312) of the recess.
  • a fourth bridge (41 ") is fixed between the free end of the upper face of the transverse branch (43) and the portion (311) of the wall (31) of the cap abutting against the first annular plate (13). from the base.
  • the shoulder (18) extends radially outwardly at the junction between the first cylindrical or frustoconical wall (11) and the first annular wall (13) of the base.
  • the shoulder (18) protrudes outwardly beyond the cylindrical or frustoconical wall (11). It has the shape of a wedge whose upper face constitutes an inclined surface (181), while the lower face forms a radial surface (182) perpendicular to the direction of movement of the strip. This is clearly visible on the figure 9b .
  • This shoulder (18) is placed so that when the cap (30) is closed, the shoulder is in abutment with its radial face (182) on the upper face of the transverse branch (43) of the strip.
  • the shoulder is surrounded on the right by the fourth bridge (41 ") and on the left by the first of the three bridges (41 ') fixed at the top of the recess (312), as shown in FIG. figure 8 .
  • the diffuser is molded in the open position. It is therefore necessary that the cap can be closed once without damaging the strip (40). This is possible thanks to the wedge shape of the shoulder.
  • the strip (40) comes with the lower face of the transverse branch (43) sliding against the inclined surface (181) of the shoulder by deforming elastically, until the upper face of the transverse branch (43) of the strip has exceeded the radial lower face (182) of the shoulder. At this moment, the strip resumes its shape initial and the upper face of the transverse branch (43) of the strip is locked against the radial surface (182) of the shoulder.
  • tear the strip (40) by tearing the bridges (41).
  • the inviolability means are placed opposite the hinge (17) relative to the vertical main axis of the diffuser.
  • the axis of the outlet opening (24) is oriented substantially horizontally and perpendicularly to the median vertical plane passing through the hinge (17) and the strip (40).
  • Other orientations of the exit opening are conceivable.
  • the outlet opening could be placed differently with respect to the hinge and / or the strip (40).
  • the strip could be attached to the base and the shoulder could be formed on the cap.
  • the invention can be applied to any type of diffuser.
  • the invention can be applied to a bottle provided not with a valve, but with a pump.
  • cooperation means for actuating the valve it could have provided a rod cooperating with a female valve rather than a tip (22) for cooperating with the stem of a male valve.
