Definitions
- Product bottle comprising means for pressurizing a dispensing pump
- the present invention relates to a bottle of cosmetic or pharmaceutical product of liquid, viscous or solid consistency comprising means for pressurizing a dispensing pump.
- Document FR-A-2 926 116 discloses a bottle containing a flexible bag filled with a product.
- the bottle also comprises a deformable chamber which is delimited by a rigid wall, on the one hand, and a flexible membrane, on the other hand.
- the deformable chamber is of generally elongate shape. By a first end, the deformable chamber is in fluid communication with the flexible bag via an opening. By a second end, the deformable chamber is in fluid communication with the outside through a slot.
- the operating principle consists, for a user, to press with his finger on the first end and to move the finger towards the second end to release the product contained in the deformable chamber by the slot.
- the slot closes and the deformable chamber tends to return to its original shape.
- the return to the initial shape is accompanied by an aspiration of the product contained in the flexible bag by the opening.
- An object of the present invention is to propose a bottle which does not have the drawbacks of the prior art and which in particular avoids the contact between the user and the flexible membrane by setting up pressurizing means which press on the flexible membrane.
- a deformable chamber delimited by a rigid wall and a flexible membrane, in fluid communication with, on the one hand, the flexible bag and, on the other hand, a dispensing orifice opening at the level of the upper wall;
- a cover mounted movably on the upper wall between an open position and a closed position which consists of a sliding of the cover on the upper wall; pressurizing means arranged to press on the flexible membrane when the lid is moved from the closed position to the open position.
- said pressurizing means comprise:
- an elastic blade comprising a central part, at least a first tab attached to the body on the side of the dispensing orifice, and at least a second tab,
- said pressurizing means comprise:
- an elastic blade comprising a common part fixed to the body on the side opposite to the dispensing orifice, a central tooth and two lateral teeth on either side of the central tooth,
- said pressurizing means comprise:
- a platen disposed above the flexible bag and which is pierced by a window through which the deformable chamber and the dispensing orifice pass through
- a drawer mounted movable in translation on the plate and having a central bar movable along the window
- a transmission system that transmits the movement of the lid to the drawer by moving the drawer from a position remote from the dispensing orifice to a position close to the dispensing orifice when the lid moves from the closed position to the open position.
- the drawer has two ramps, each being fixed at one end of the central bar, and the transmission system comprises:
- a toothed wheel rotatably mounted on the plate and meshing with said toothed sector, and
- said pressurizing means comprise:
- a platen disposed above the flexible bag and which is pierced by a window through which the deformable chamber and the dispensing orifice pass through

- FIG. 10 shows a perspective view of a bottle with a different shape.
- Fig. 1 shows a bottle 100 which comprises a body 102 and a lid 104 which is in the closed position.
- the bottle 100 is here cylindrical, but its shape and volume 100 may be different.
- the cover 104 here has the shape of a disc, but it can have a different shape.
- FIG. 10 shows a bottle 1000 which comprises a body 1002 and a cover 1004.
- the body 1002 and the cover 1004 have a rectangular shape.
- the invention is more particularly described in the case of the bottle 100 of FIG. 1, but it applies in the same way to the bottle 1000 of FIG. 10.
- Fig. 2 shows the bottle 100 where the lid 104 is in the open position, revealing an upper wall 350 of the body 102 which reveals a dispensing orifice 106 through which a product contained in a flexible bag (302, FIG.
- the product may be of different types, for example a cosmetic or pharmaceutical product with a viscous, pasty or solid consistency (eg cream, foundation, whitening powder, etc.).
- the dispensing orifice 106 thus opens at the upper wall 350, that is to say through the upper wall 350.
- the bottle 100 also has a side wall 320 which is here cylindrical and which extends from the upper wall 350, and a bottom 322 which closes the side wall 320 enclosing the flexible bag 302.
- the side wall has a rectangular base.
- the dispensing orifice 106 takes the form of a unidirectional valve which allows the passage of a fluid from the inside to the outside, but prohibits the passage a fluid in the opposite direction. It may be, for example, a flexible cover having a slot of straight or cross shape. It is understood that any other form of operculum may also be suitable.
- Fig. 3 shows the bottle 100 in section.
- the body 102 contains the sealed flexible bag 302 containing the product to be dispensed.
- a deformable chamber 304 is delimited by a rigid wall 306 and a flexible membrane 308.
- the rigid wall 306 is disposed above the flexible bag 302 and the flexible membrane 308 is disposed above the rigid wall 306.
- the rigid wall 306 is pierced by an opening 310 which ensures fluid communication between the flexible bag 302 and the deformable chamber 304.
- the deformable chamber 304 is also in fluid communication with the dispensing orifice 106, here via a chimney 312.
- the opening 310 is closed by a shut-off valve 311 which is unidirectional and which allows the passage of fluid from the flexible bag 302 to the deformable chamber 304, but prevents the passage of a fluid in the opposite direction .
- the shut-off valve 311 is thus active when the deformable chamber 304 is overpressurized with respect to the flexible bag 302, thus avoiding that the product to be delivered returns to the flexible bag 302 under the effect of the pressure on the flexible membrane 308
- the shut-off valve 311 here takes the form of a tongue fixed inside the deformable chamber 304 and which is pressed against the opening 310. It is understood that any other form of shutter may also be suitable.
- the deformable chamber 304 has a generally elongate shape having at one end, the chimney 312, and at a second end, the opening 310.
- the cover 104 is movably mounted on the upper wall 350 between the open position and the closed position where the cover 104 comes above the dispensing orifice 106.
- the cover 104 comprises first holding means and the body 102 comprises second holding means which cooperate with the first holding means to ensure the integral retention of the body 102 and the cover 104 while allowing the sliding of the cover 104 on the upper wall 350 of the body 102.
- FIG. 4 shows the bottle 100 with the lid in the open position and FIG. 5 shows a section of the bottle 100 showing in particular the holding means.
- the upper wall 350 is of concave shape in sphere portion.
- a main slot 352 having side edges 354a-b parallel to the direction of movement of the cover 104 between its open position and its closed position.
- the main slot 352 also has front edges 356a-b, which are generally perpendicular to the side edges 354a-b.
- the cover 104 has an upper outer face 314 visible from the outside and, opposite the upper outer face 314, a lower face 316 which is of convex shape in a sphere portion having substantially the same radius of curvature as the wall upper 350 of the body 102.
- the lower face 316 and the upper wall 350 are intended to slide on one another during the displacement of the cover 104 from the open position to the closed position and vice versa.
- the upper wall is of concave shape in cylinder portion and the underside of the lid is of convex shape in cylinder portion having substantially the same radius of curvature as the upper wall of the body.
- the movement of the cover 104, 1004 is therefore generally a rotation, but it is possible to envisage that the displacement is a translation, if the lower face 316 and the upper wall 350 are planar.
- the first holding means here take the form of two clips 358a-b, each having a wall which comes into contact with one of the lateral edges 354a-b to provide the longitudinal guide and a hook at the end of the wall and which is is housed under the upper wall 350 through the main slot 352 to secure the body 102 and the lid 104.
- the side edges 354a-b here form the second holding means.
- the bottle 100 also comprises pressurizing means which are arranged to press on the flexible membrane 308 during the displacement of the lid 104 from the closed position to the open position.
- pressurizing means which are arranged to press on the flexible membrane 308 during the displacement of the lid 104 from the closed position to the open position.
- the pressurizing means no longer exert any pressure on the flexible membrane 308 which is inflated by elasticity by sucking the product contained in the flexible bag 302.
- the latter consists of an elastic material which tends to return to its original shape, for example a film of TPE , TPU or Silicone.
- the flexibility of the flexible bag 302 allows the suction of the product to the deformable chamber 304 without there being a call for air.

- the pressurizing means 960 comprise a plate 962 which may be a one-piece part with the body 102 or an independent part fixed inside the body 102 above the flexible bag 302.
- the plate 962 has a window 963 to through which the deformable chamber 304, the chimney 312 and the dispensing orifice 106 pass.
- the pressurizing means 960 also comprise at least one cam 964 rotatably mounted on the plate 962 about an axis here vertical, and integral with a toothed wheel 966 coaxial with the axis of the cam 964.
- the cam 964 has a prominent area.
- the position and the shape of the or each cam 964 are such that, in the closed position of the lid 104, the protruding zone does not rest on the flexible membrane 308, and that in the open position of the lid 104, the protruding zone presses on the flexible membrane 308 after rotation of the cam 964.
- cams 964 there are two cams 964 arranged symmetrically on either side of the longitudinal axis of symmetry of the deformable chamber 304. In FIG. 9, a single cam 964 has been shown for reasons of clarity.
- the pressurizing means 960 also includes a transmission system which transmits the displacement of the cover 104 to each cam 964 by pivoting each cam 964 so that the protruding area passes from a position where it does not press on. the flexible membrane 308 at a position where it presses the flexible membrane 308 when the lid 104 moves from the closed position to the open position.
- the transmission system comprises for each cam 964, a toothed sector 970 secured to the cover 104, which crosses the upper wall 350 through a suitable slot and which meshes with the toothed wheel 966 of said cam 964.
- the displacement of the cover 104 from the closed position to the open position causes the toothed sectors 970 to move, then by meshing, the toothed wheels 966, and finally the cams 964.
- the displacement is reversed when the cover 104 moves from the open position to the closed position.
- the upper outer face 314 of the cover 104 is rotatably mounted on a hinge 12 which is located opposite the dispensing orifice 106.
- This arrangement forms a valve which accommodates inside the cover a mirror on the face opposite the upper outer face 314, and / or a sponge in the lower part 14 of the cover 104.
