Description

Distributeur compressible d'un produit fluide, en particulier un produit fluide cosmétique tel qu'une crème  Compressible dispenser of a fluid product, in particular a cosmetic fluid product such as a cream
La présente invention concerne un distributeur élastiquement compressible d'un produit fluide, en particulier un produit fluide cosmétique tel qu'une crème. The present invention relates to an elastically compressible dispenser of a fluid product, in particular a cosmetic fluid product such as a cream.
Les distributeurs du type compressible sont typiquement ceux aptes à délivrer un produit fluide sous l'action d'une pression manuelle opérée sur leurs parois. Ils peuvent être du type où le produit fluide contenu n'est pas en contact avec l'air lors de sa distribution, ce qui favorise la stabilité du produit et sa conservation.  The distributors of the compressible type are typically those able to deliver a fluid product under the action of a manual pressure operated on their walls. They can be of the type where the fluid product contained is not in contact with the air during its distribution, which promotes the stability of the product and its preservation.
Un tel distributeur est destiné à un usage quotidien, voire parfois à un usage pluri quotidien. Il est souvent transporté par l'utilisateur, par exemple dans une poche ou dans un sac à main. Dans de telles circonstances, il convient d'éviter tout écoulement accidentel. Il est donc nécessaire de prévoir un moyen de protection, tel qu'un capuchon. Néanmoins, un tel moyen de protection ne doit pas se faire au détriment de l'esthétique ni de l'utilisation du produit. Il est à cet effet indispensable d'une part, que le capuchon lui-même ne soit pas apte à se détacher du corps à la moindre sollicitation et, d'autre part, que le capuchon ne soit pas fixé par des moyens nécessitant une trop grande force ou trop de contraintes pour le détacher manuellement.  Such a dispenser is intended for everyday use, sometimes even for a daily use. It is often carried by the user, for example in a pocket or in a purse. In such circumstances, accidental spillage should be avoided. It is therefore necessary to provide a means of protection, such as a cap. However, such a means of protection should not be at the expense of aesthetics or use of the product. It is necessary for this purpose on the one hand, that the cap itself is not able to detach from the body at the least pressure and, secondly, that the cap is not fixed by means requiring too much great strength or too much stress to detach it manually.
De plus, un distributeur du type compressible doit être aisément manipulable et peu encombrant. Il doit pouvoir être tenu dans une seule main et être pressé par la même main. Il doit en outre, présenter les meilleures fonctionnalités possibles tout en préservant les caractéristiques esthétiques attendues dans le domaine de la cosmétique.  In addition, a compressible type of dispenser must be easily manipulated and space-saving. It must be able to be held in one hand and pressed by the same hand. It must also present the best possible functionalities while preserving the aesthetic characteristics expected in the field of cosmetics.
A cet effet, l'invention concerne un distributeur élastiquement compressible de produit fluide du type comprenant un corps élastiquement compressible, un organe de distribution dudit produit fluide présentant un orifice de sortie du fluide, un capuchon présentant une paroi, ainsi que des moyens de fixation destinés à assurer la fixation amovible dudit capuchon sur ledit corps. Selon l'invention, le distributeur est caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend une coiffe coiffant l'organe de distribution et dont la surface périphérique externe affleure ledit orifice de sortie, en ce que la paroi du capuchon et la paroi du corps présentent des surfaces externes affleurantes au niveau de leur bords supérieurs et, en ce que le capuchon et le corps sont des portions, complémentaires l'une de l'autre, d'une forme continûment convexe, ladite coiffe de protection présentant une forme identique à celle de la paroi du capuchon, mais réduite d'au moins l'épaisseur de la paroi dudit capuchon. Les caractéristiques d'un distributeur compressible selon l'invention lui confèrent une forme et un aspect dépourvus d'arêtes ou de parties saillantes lui permettant ainsi d'être tenu dans une main et manipulé de manière aisée que le capuchon soit présent ou qu'il soit ôté. La préhension est en effet améliorée et sécurisée par la forme continûment convexe qui épouse la paume de la main. De plus, aucun bord ne fait obstacle au mouvement du distributeur dans le creux de la main. La surface de frottement du distributeur contre la paume de la main autorise sa rotation et facilite ainsi son utilisation, en particulier la compression du corps élastiquement compressible. To this end, the invention relates to an elastically compressible fluid dispenser of the type comprising an elastically compressible body, a dispensing member of said fluid product having a fluid outlet orifice, a cap having a wall, and fixing means. intended to ensure the removable attachment of said cap on said body. According to the invention, the dispenser is characterized in that it comprises a cap covering the dispensing member and whose outer peripheral surface is flush with said outlet orifice, in that the wall of the cap and the wall of the body have surfaces. flush with their upper edges and in that the cap and the body are portions, complementary to one another, of a continuously convex shape, said protective cap having a shape identical to that of the wall of the cap, but reduced by at least the thickness of the wall of said cap. The characteristics of a compressible dispenser according to the invention give it a shape and an appearance devoid of ridges or protruding parts thus allowing it to be held in one hand and handled in an easy manner that the cap is present or that it be removed. The grip is indeed improved and secured by the continuously convex shape that marries the palm of the hand. In addition, no edge hinders the movement of the dispenser in the palm of the hand. The friction surface of the dispenser against the palm of the hand allows its rotation and thus facilitates its use, in particular the compression of the elastically compressible body.
La coiffe permet à la fois de protéger l'organe de distribution et de préserver la forme du distributeur pourvu de son capuchon. En effet, la coiffe étant une réduction du capuchon, ou homothétie, lorsque celui-ci est ôté, le distributeur présente une forme rappelant la forme continûment convexe qu'il présente lorsqu'il est pourvu de son capuchon.  The cap makes it possible both to protect the dispensing member and to preserve the shape of the dispenser provided with its cap. Indeed, the cap being a reduction of the cap, or homothety, when it is removed, the dispenser has a shape reminiscent of the continuously convex shape that it has when provided with its cap.
Avantageusement, le distributeur selon l'invention comprend une poche souple qui est disposée à l'intérieur dudit corps élastiquement compressible et qui contient le produit fluide, l'intérieur de la poche souple se trouvant en communication directe avec l'orifice de sortie du fluide.  Advantageously, the dispenser according to the invention comprises a flexible bag which is disposed inside said elastically compressible body and which contains the fluid product, the inside of the flexible bag being in direct communication with the outlet orifice of the fluid .
Avantageusement encore, les moyens de fixation sont tels que la coiffe présente sur sa surface périphérique externe des motifs en creux complémentaires de motifs en relief aménagés sur la surface périphérique interne de la paroi du capuchon.  Advantageously, the fixing means are such that the cap has on its outer peripheral surface complementary recessed patterns of relief patterns arranged on the inner peripheral surface of the wall of the cap.
Préférentiellement, les bords supérieurs dudit capuchon et les bords supérieurs dudit corps élastiquement compressible sont en contact l'un de l'autre lorsque ledit capuchon est fixé sur ledit corps.  Preferably, the upper edges of said cap and the upper edges of said elastically compressible body are in contact with each other when said cap is fixed on said body.
Avantageusement, l'organe de distribution se présente sous la forme d'un tube plongeur dont une extrémité s'étend vers le fond de la poche souple et son autre extrémité comporte une tétine pourvue d'une fente aménageant l'orifice de sortie.  Advantageously, the dispensing member is in the form of a dip tube, one end of which extends towards the bottom of the flexible bag and its other end comprises a nipple provided with a slot that arranges the outlet orifice.
Avantageusement encore, le corps élastiquement compressible présente un col au travers duquel sont aménagés un ou plusieurs orifices débouchant dans un espace entre le corps élastiquement compressible et la poche souple, une rondelle jouant le rôle de clapet étant prévue sur ledit ou chaque orifice pour empêcher l'air contenu dans ledit espace de sortir lorsque l'utilisateur exerce une pression manuelle sur ledit corps.  Advantageously, the elastically compressible body has a neck through which are arranged one or more openings opening into a space between the elastically compressible body and the flexible bag, a washer acting as a valve being provided on said or each orifice to prevent the air contained in said space out when the user exerts manual pressure on said body.
Avantageusement encore, le distributeur selon l'invention présente une forme ellipsoïdale, une forme ovoïde, une forme ellipsoïdale aplatie ou ovoïde aplatie. Les caractéristiques de l'invention mentionnées ci-dessus, ainsi que d'autres, apparaîtront plus clairement à la lecture de la description suivante d'un exemple de réalisation, ladite description étant faite en relation avec les dessins joints, parmi lesquels: Advantageously, the dispenser according to the invention has an ellipsoidal shape, an ovoid shape, a flattened ellipsoidal or ovoid flattened shape. The characteristics of the invention mentioned above, as well as others, will appear more clearly on reading the following description of an exemplary embodiment, said description being given in relation to the attached drawings, among which:

The respective outer surfaces S1 and S2 of the wall 121 of the cap 102 and the wall 101a of the elastically compressible body 101 are flush with their upper edges 104, 105.
Dans le mode de réalisation décrit en lien avec les Figs. 1 à 3, le distributeur 100 muni de son capuchon 102 présente une forme d'ellipsoïde aplati, rappelant la forme d'un galet. Toutefois, d'autres formes continûment convexes sont envisagées dans le cadre de l'invention, telles qu'une forme d'ovoïde (Fig. 5). In the embodiment described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, the dispenser 100 provided with its cap 102 has a flattened ellipsoid shape, recalling the shape of a pebble. However, other continuously convex forms are contemplated within the scope of the invention, such as an ovoid shape (Fig. 5).
Par ailleurs, dans le mode de réalisation décrit en lien avec les Fig s. 1 à 5, les bords supérieurs 104, 105 du capuchon 102 et du corps élastiquement compressible 101 sont contenus dans des plans perpendiculaires à l'axe longitudinal Ax du distributeur 100. Toutefois, dans des variantes de l'invention, telle que celle illustrée en lien avec la Fig. 6, les bords supérieurs respectifs du capuchon 102 et du corps élastiquement compressible 101 peuvent parcourir une forme quelconque. Dans une telle variante, la forme continûment convexe du distributeur 100 est toutefois conservée.  Moreover, in the embodiment described in connection with FIGS. 1 to 5, the upper edges 104, 105 of the cap 102 and the elastically compressible body 101 are contained in planes perpendicular to the longitudinal axis Ax of the distributor 100. However, in variants of the invention, such as that illustrated in FIG. link with FIG. 6, the respective upper edges of the cap 102 and the elastically compressible body 101 may travel in any shape. In such an embodiment, the continuously convex form of the dispenser 100 is however preserved.
Le distributeur 100 présente avantageusement des dimensions telles qu'il peut être maintenu contre la paume d'une main d'adulte. Par exemple, dans le mode de réalisation décrit en lien avec la Fig. 2, il présente une hauteur H totale comprise entre 75 et 100 mm, préférentiellement entre 80 et 90 mm. La hauteur hl du corps élastiquement compressible 101 est comprise entre 55 et 75 mm, préférentiellement entre 60 et 70 mm ; la hauteur h2 du capuchon 102 est comprise entre 15 et 25 mm, préférentiellement entre 20 et 25 mm. Vu du dessus (Fig. 4), le grand axe Ga de la forme d'ellipsoïde du distributeur 100 est compris entre 50 et 65 mm, préférentiellement entre 60 et 65 mm ; le petit axe Pa est compris entre 30 et 45 mm, préférentiellement entre 35 et 40 mm. Vu dans le plan de sa face de grand axe Ga (plan de la Fig. 1), le contour du distributeur est formé par une succession d'arcs de cercle dont le rayon de courbure croît d'une valeur de 30 mm environ au niveau de la base du distributeur à une valeur de 60 mm environ jusqu'à la hauteur du grand axe Ga, puis décroît d'une valeur de 100 mm environ à une valeur de 20 mm environ au niveau du sommet du capuchon. Vu dans le plan perpendiculaire de sa face de petit axe Pa, le rayon de courbure croît d'une valeur de 16 mm environ à une valeur de 75 mm environ jusqu'à la hauteur du petit axe Pa puis décroît d'une valeur de 95 mm environ à une valeur de 9 mm environ au niveau du sommet du capuchon. Ces valeurs sont toutefois indicatives.  The dispenser 100 advantageously has dimensions such that it can be held against the palm of an adult hand. For example, in the embodiment described with reference to FIG. 2, it has a total height H of between 75 and 100 mm, preferably between 80 and 90 mm. The height h1 of the elastically compressible body 101 is between 55 and 75 mm, preferably between 60 and 70 mm; the height h2 of the cap 102 is between 15 and 25 mm, preferably between 20 and 25 mm. Viewed from above (FIG 4), the major axis Ga of the ellipsoid shape of the distributor 100 is between 50 and 65 mm, preferably between 60 and 65 mm; the small axis Pa is between 30 and 45 mm, preferably between 35 and 40 mm. Seen in the plane of its long-axis face Ga (plane of Fig. 1), the contour of the distributor is formed by a succession of arcs of circle whose radius of curvature grows by a value of 30 mm approximately from the base of the distributor to a value of about 60 mm up to the height of the major axis Ga, then decreases from a value of about 100 mm to a value of about 20 mm at the top of the cap. Seen in the perpendicular plane of its small axis Pa side, the radius of curvature increases from a value of about 16 mm to a value of about 75 mm up to the height of the minor axis Pa and then decreases by a value of 95 mm to about 9 mm at the top of the cap. These values are however indicative.
Le distributeur 100 muni de son capuchon 102 ne présente aucune arête visible ou sensible, aucun bord ou rebord, ni aucune surface saillante. Il tient contre la paume d'une main, en particulier d'une main adulte. La courbure légère des doigts de la main assure son maintien ferme dans la main. La surface extérieure du distributeur 100 est parfaitement lisse contre la paume de la main de qui facilite sa rotation lors d'une préhension. Son utilisation, en particulier lors de la compression du corps élastiquement compressible 101, se trouve facilitée. Le fait que les surfaces externes SI et S2 respectives de la paroi 121 du capuchon 102 et de la paroi 101a du corps élastiquement compressible 101 soient affleurantes permet également d'éviter que le capuchon 102 ne se désolidarise par accident du corps 101 par exemple lorsqu'il est frotté contre une surface présentant des aspérités ou contre un autre objet. The dispenser 100 provided with its cap 102 has no visible or sensitive edge, no edge or flange, nor any projecting surface. He holds against the palm of a hand, especially an adult hand. The slight curvature of the fingers of the hand ensures its firm hold in the hand. The outer surface of the dispenser 100 is perfectly smooth against the palm of the hand which facilitates its rotation during a gripping. Its use, in particular during the compression of the elastically compressible body 101, is facilitated. The fact that the respective external surfaces S1 and S2 of the wall 121 of the cap 102 and of the wall 101a of the elastically compressible body 101 are flush with one another also makes it possible to prevent the cap 102 from accidentally separating from the body 101, for example when it is rubbed against a surface presenting asperities or against another object.
De manière préférée, le bord supérieur 105 du corps élastiquement compressible 101 et le bord supérieur 104 du capuchon 102 sont en contact l'un avec l'autre lorsque le capuchon 102 est fixé sur le corps élastiquement compressible 101.  Preferably, the upper edge 105 of the elastically compressible body 101 and the upper edge 104 of the cap 102 are in contact with each other when the cap 102 is fixed on the elastically compressible body 101.
Comme cela est représenté en lien avec la Fig. 3, le capuchon 102 du distributeur 100 peut être ôté complètement dévoilant ainsi une coiffe 106 prévue pour coiffer l'organe de distribution 114. Celle-ci présente une forme identique à celle du capuchon 102, mais réduite sensiblement de l'épaisseur Ep de la paroi 121 du capuchon 102, matérialisée par une double flèche sur la Fig. 1. Lorsque le capuchon 102 est ôté, le distributeur 100 conserve donc globalement sa forme continûment convexe.  As shown in connection with FIG. 3, the cap 102 of the dispenser 100 can be removed completely thus revealing a cap 106 designed to cap the dispensing member 114. This has a shape identical to that of the cap 102, but reduced substantially by the thickness Ep of the wall 121 of the cap 102, shown by a double arrow in FIG. 1. When the cap 102 is removed, the dispenser 100 thus generally retains its continuously convex shape.
La coiffe 106 coiffant l'organe de distribution 1 14 est fixée au niveau d'un col The cap 106 covering the dispensing member 1 14 is fixed at a collar
107 que présente le corps élastiquement compressible 101, à l'aide de moyens d'encliquetage 109 connus. La coiffe 106 présente une ouverture 110 en communication avec un orifice de sortie 111 de l'organe de distribution 1 14. Les orifices 110 et 111 permettent la distribution du produit fluide P. La surface de la coiffe 106 affleure l'orifice de sortie 111 de l'organe de distribution 1 14 (Fig. 3). 107 that presents the elastically compressible body 101, using known ratcheting means 109. The cap 106 has an opening 110 in communication with an outlet orifice 111 of the dispensing member 1 14. The orifices 110 and 111 allow the dispensing of the fluid product P. The surface of the cap 106 is flush with the outlet orifice 111 of the dispenser 1 14 (Fig 3).
Les surfaces externes respectives de la coiffe 106 et du corps élastiquement compressible 101 ne sont pas affleurantes. La surface externe S3 de la coiffe 106 est en retrait par rapport à celle S2 du corps élastiquement compressible 101, aménageant ainsi un épaulement 112 au niveau du col 107. L'épaulement 112 présentera avantageusement des dimensions strictement complémentaires à l'épaisseur Ep de la paroi 121 du capuchon 102.  The respective outer surfaces of the cap 106 and the elastically compressible body 101 are not flush. The outer surface S3 of the cap 106 is recessed relative to that S2 of the elastically compressible body 101, thus providing a shoulder 112 at the neck 107. The shoulder 112 will advantageously have dimensions strictly complementary to the thickness Ep of the wall 121 of the cap 102.
La coiffe assure une continuité de forme avec le corps 101. Elle définit un volume au-dessus du corps où est logé l'organes de distribution 114, les orifices 110 et 111 affleurant à son sommet. Ceci sera décrit plus en détail dans la suite. De ce fait, le corps et la coiffe ne présentent aucune aspérité saillante, aucune arête vive, en dehors du rebord supérieur 105 qui présente une faible largeur. Grâce à sa forme continûment convexe, la coiffe permet de distribuer le produit tout en déplaçant le distributeur et en faisant glisser la coiffe à la surface de la peau. Avec les distributeurs existants, le produit serait déposé davantage de façon locale. Dans le mode de réalisation illustré en lien avec la Fig. 1, le distributeur 100 comprend une poche souple 113 qui est disposée à l'intérieur du corps élastiquement compressible 101 et qui contient le produit fluide P à distribuer. The cap provides continuity of shape with the body 101. It defines a volume above the body where is housed the dispensing member 114, the orifices 110 and 111 flush with its top. This will be described in more detail later. As a result, the body and the cap do not have any protruding notch, no sharp edges, except for the upper rim 105, which has a small width. Thanks to its continuously convex shape, the cap allows to distribute the product while moving the dispenser and sliding the cap on the surface of the skin. With existing distributors, the product would be deposited more locally. In the embodiment illustrated in connection with FIG. 1, the dispenser 100 comprises a flexible pouch 113 which is disposed inside the elastically compressible body 101 and which contains the fluid product P to be dispensed.
Le corps élastiquement compressible 101 est destiné à être déformé par pression manuelle. Il est réalisé en un matériau élastiquement déformable et ses parois 101a peuvent être comprimées tout en étant suffisamment élastiques pour reprendre leur forme initiale quand la pression cesse. A cet effet, le corps élastiquement compressible 101 est réalisé en matériau caoutchouc, élastomère ou thermoplastique. On a obtenu un bon résultat avec un corps réalisé en une matière de la famille des polypropylènes avec une dureté comprise entre 60 et 80 Shore A, mesurée sur le distributeur posé à plat sur le côté. Ces valeurs n'ont toutefois qu'une valeur indicative.  The elastically compressible body 101 is intended to be deformed by manual pressure. It is made of an elastically deformable material and its walls 101a can be compressed while being sufficiently elastic to resume their initial shape when the pressure ceases. For this purpose, the elastically compressible body 101 is made of rubber, elastomer or thermoplastic material. A good result was obtained with a body made of a material of the family of polypropylenes with a hardness between 60 and 80 Shore A, measured on the dispenser laid flat on the side. These values are only indicative.
L'organe de distribution 114 est fixé sur le col 107 du corps élastiquement déformable 101 par une fixation étanche, par exemple par encliquetage ou par collage. L'organe de distribution 114 permet la circulation du fluide depuis l'intérieur de la poche 113 jusqu'à l'orifice de sortie 111. Il se présente sous la forme d'un tube plongeur dont une extrémité s'étend vers le fond de la poche souple 113 et présente une ouverture 115 en communication avec l'intérieur de la poche souple 113. A son autre extrémité, est fixée, par collage ou par soudure, une tétine 123 pourvue d'une fente 124 aménageant l'orifice de sortie 111. La fente 124 permet le passage d'un fluide dans une seule direction, en l'occurrence de l'intérieur de l'organe de distribution 114 vers l'extérieur.  The dispensing member 114 is fixed on the neck 107 of the elastically deformable body 101 by a sealed attachment, for example by snapping or gluing. The dispensing member 114 allows the circulation of the fluid from the inside of the bag 113 to the outlet orifice 111. It is in the form of a dip tube, one end of which extends towards the bottom of the the flexible pouch 113 and has an opening 115 in communication with the inside of the flexible pouch 113. At its other end, is fixed, by gluing or welding, a teat 123 provided with a slot 124 forming the outlet orifice 111. The slot 124 allows the passage of a fluid in a single direction, in this case from the inside of the dispensing member 114 to the outside.
La poche souple 113 contenant le produit fluide P se trouve fixée à une encolure 122 que présente l'organe de distribution 114, par exemple par l'intermédiaire d'une soudure.  The flexible pouch 113 containing the fluid product P is attached to a neck 122 that has the dispensing member 114, for example by means of a weld.
L'espace E entre le corps élastiquement compressible 101 et la poche souple 113 se remplit d'air au fur et à mesure que la poche se vide du produit qu'elle contient.  The space E between the elastically compressible body 101 and the flexible bag 113 fills with air as the bag empties the product it contains.
Le col 107 du corps élastiquement déformable 101 est traversé par un ou plusieurs orifices 125 permettant l'entrée d'air dans l'espace E compris entre le corps élastiquement compressible 101 et la poche souple 113. En regard de chaque orifice 125 se trouve une rondelle déformable 126 apte à jouer le rôle d'un clapet et ainsi à fermer l'orifice correspondant sortir lorsque l'utilisateur exerce une pression manuelle sur ledit corps élastiquement déformable 101. La ou les rondelles 126 sont disposées contre la paroi du col 107 qui fait face à l'espace E. Lors de l'utilisation du distributeur 100, la pression manuelle exercée sur le corps élastiquement compressible 101 est transmise à la poche souple 113 qui contient le produit fluide P. Celui-ci s'écoule alors dans l'organe de distribution 1 14, ce qui ouvre la fente 124 de la tétine 123 et provoque l'éjection du produit P au travers de l'orifice de sortie 111. Aucune entrée d'air dans la poche souple 113 n'est autorisée au travers de la fente 124. Cette caractéristique garantit la stabilité et la conservation de la formulation du produit fluide. La compression exercée sur le corps élastiquement compressible 101 a également pour effet de plaquer la ou les rondelles déformables 126 contre le ou les orifices 125 et d'empêcher l'air de sortir de l'espace E par les orifices 125. The neck 107 of the elastically deformable body 101 is traversed by one or more orifices 125 allowing the entry of air into the space E between the elastically compressible body 101 and the flexible bag 113. Next to each orifice 125 is a deformable washer 126 adapted to act as a valve and thus to close the corresponding orifice out when the user exerts a manual pressure on said elastically deformable body 101. The washer or washers 126 are disposed against the wall of the neck 107 which faces the space E. When using the dispenser 100, the manual pressure exerted on the elastically compressible body 101 is transmitted to the flexible bag 113 which contains the fluid product P. This then flows into the dispensing member 1 14, this which opens the slot 124 of the nipple 123 and causes the product P to be ejected through the outlet orifice 111. No entry of air into the flexible bag 113 is permitted through the slot 124. This characteristic guarantees stability and preservation of the formulation of the fluid product. The compression exerted on the elastically compressible body 101 also has the effect of pressing the deformable washer (s) 126 against the orifice (s) 125 and preventing the air from leaving the space E through the orifices 125.
Lorsque la pression manuelle exercée sur les parois 101a du corps élastiquement compressible 101 cesse, le corps se détend, la fente 124 de la tétine 123 se ferme et les rondelles déformables 126 se déforment pour ne plus obturer les orifices 125. De l'air pénètre dans l'espace E entre le corps élastiquement compressible 101 et la poche souple 113 par l'intermédiaire des orifices 125. Le volume d'air qui pénètre alors ainsi dans l'espace E compense alors le volume de produit éjecté hors de la poche souple 113. De ce fait, le corps élastiquement compressible 101 reprend sa forme initiale.  When the manual pressure exerted on the walls 101a of the elastically compressible body 101 ceases, the body relaxes, the slot 124 of the nipple 123 is closed and the deformable washers 126 deform to no longer close the orifices 125. Air enters in the space E between the elastically compressible body 101 and the flexible bag 113 via the orifices 125. The volume of air which then enters the space E then compensates the volume of product ejected out of the flexible bag 113. As a result, the elastically compressible body 101 returns to its original shape.
Lorsque le distributeur 100 n'est pas utilisé, le capuchon 102 du distributeur 100 obture l'orifice de sortie 110 que présente la coiffe 106. Même si une pression est exercée sur le corps élastiquement compressible 101 par accident, le capuchon 102 permet d'éviter un écoulement de produit fluide P.  When the dispenser 100 is not used, the cap 102 of the dispenser 100 closes the outlet orifice 110 which the cap 106 presents. Even if pressure is exerted on the elastically compressible body 101 by accident, the cap 102 makes it possible to avoid a flow of fluid product P.
Le capuchon 102 est fixé sur le corps élastiquement compressible 101 de manière amovible à l'aide de moyens de fixation 118. De la sorte, le capuchon 102 peut être complètement désolidarisé du corps élastiquement compressible 101.  The cap 102 is fixed to the elastically compressible body 101 removably by means of fastening means 118. In this way, the cap 102 can be completely detached from the elastically compressible body 101.
Les moyens de fixation 118 destinés à assurer la fixation du capuchon 102 sur le corps élastiquement compressible 101 sont, par exemple, des moyens d'encliquetage. Dans le mode de réalisation illustré à la Fig. 1, les moyens de fixation 118 sont tels que la coiffe 106 présente sur sa surface périphérique externe un motif en creux 119, tel qu'un logement rentrant, apte à loger un motif en relief, tel qu'une languette 120 que présente la surface périphérique interne de la paroi 121 du capuchon 102. Dans une variante de l'invention il pourrait s'agir de gorges que présenterait la surface externe de la coiffe 106 et qui seraient aptes à loger des parties saillantes ou des arêtes de forme complémentaire que présenterait la surface interne de la paroi 121 du capuchon 102. Le distributeur compressible 100 selon l'invention présente ainsi des caractéristiques qui sont tout à la fois techniques et esthétiques et qui le rendent fiable, facilement utilisable sans nécessiter un assemblage de pièces de manière trop complexe. The attachment means 118 for securing the cap 102 to the elastically compressible body 101 are, for example, latching means. In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1, the fastening means 118 are such that the cap 106 has on its outer peripheral surface a recessed pattern 119, such as a recess housing, adapted to accommodate a raised pattern, such as a tongue 120 that the surface presents internal device of the wall 121 of the cap 102. In a variant of the invention there could be grooves that would present the outer surface of the cap 106 and which would be able to accommodate the projecting portions or edges of complementary shape that would present the inner surface of the wall 121 of the cap 102. The compressible dispenser 100 according to the invention thus has characteristics that are both technical and aesthetic and that make it reliable, easy to use without requiring a complex assembly of parts.
