Definitions
- the present invention relates to a duo distributor comprising two pumps respectively associated with two different fluid product tanks.
- the two pumps each comprise a fixed pump body and an actuating rod axially displaceable over an axial stroke.
- the duo dispenser also includes a common dispensing head having an outlet channel forming a dispensing orifice for the fluid products from the actuating rods of the two pumps.
- the preferred fields of the invention are those of cosmetics and pharmacy.
- the dispenser comprises a rotating ring which internally forms a ramp or annular steps that serve as axial stop for a pusher, thus limiting the actuation stroke and thus the dose of fluid dispensed.
- Ramps allow for continuous dose variation and stepped rings allow for staggered dose variation.
- the rotating ring forms a gripping member that the user can grasp to drive the ring in rotation.
- Indications or sliders are provided on the rotating ring or in the direct vicinity to inform the user of the precise positioning of the ring, and thus the setting of doses.
- the present invention seeks to define a dual dispenser whose dose adjustment is more discreet by removing the rotatable ring which is clearly visible and gives the distributor a marked technical side.
- the object of the invention is to retain a rotating ring capable of limiting the stroke heights of the actuating rods, but to make the gripping member as discrete as possible.
- An object of the invention is to confuse the gripping member with another body of the dispenser, so as to integrate perfectly.
- the common distribution head comprises: a cap mounted on the actuating rods and forming the dispensing orifice,
- a pusher mounted on the cap to move it axially back and forth, the pusher being further rotatably mounted on and relative to the cap, and - a setting insert disposed below the cap and secured to the pusher so as to rotate with it, the cap abutting on the adjusting insert, thus limiting the axial stroke of the actuating rods.
- the rotary pusher fulfills the additional function of gripping member and actuating the adjustment insert.
- the functions of stroke limitation and actuation are dissociated: the limitation function being provided by the adjustment insert and the function of actuating the adjustment insert being provided by the pusher.
- the actuating member of the adjustment insert is coincident with the pusher, the first and conventional function of which is to actuate the actuating rods of the pumps. It is therefore possible to perfectly hide or hide the actuator of the adjustment insert by giving little or no information about the additional function of the pusher.
- the dispenser can then have a conventional configuration, namely that of a dispenser comprising only one reservoir and only one pump.
- the cap supports the adjustment insert on the pump bodies at the end of the stroke of the pusher.
- the adjustment insert is sandwiched between the cap and the pump bodies.
- the adjustment insert comprises an adjustment plate forming two passage openings for the two actuating rods.
- the adjustment plate is sandwiched between the cap and the pump casings.
- the passage openings are bordered by abutment pads of different axial heights.
- the control plate has different wall thicknesses at the stop areas.
- the openings may have a bean shape.
- the adjustment insert is connected to the pusher by an axial pin which passes through the cap, the pusher forming a housing in which the axial pin is received while being locked in rotation.
- the cap is interposed between the pusher and the adjustment plate with the axial pin passing through the cap centrally.
- the pusher and the adjustment insert rotate together about an axis passing through the axial pin, while the cap which is arranged between them is fixed in rotation. Moreover, the pusher moves axially by driving with it the cap.
- the axial pin of the insert can slide, with or without friction, in the housing of the pusher.
- the axial pin has a polygonal cross section adapted to cooperate with the housing of the pusher for a rotational drive and axial sliding.
- the pusher may be limited in rotation by the adjustment insert engaged around the actuating rods.
- the cap comprises two connecting sleeves which abut on abutment pads. Alternatively, the top of the pump bodies could abut with the abutment pads.
- the dispensing orifice is engaged in a window formed by a covering cap, the dispensing orifice moving axially in this window by pressing on the pusher.
- the pusher can be engaged in the covering cap, thus masking the adjustment insert and the cap, except at its dispensing orifice which is engaged in the window.
- the spirit of the invention lies in the fact of integrating or deporting the actuation of the dose adjustment means in a conventional organ of the dispenser, and in particular its pusher, so that the duo distributor can find a conventional configuration of mono distributor (a tank and a pump). Connecting the pusher to the adjustment insert through the cap is an interesting feature.
- FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a duet distributor according to the invention
- FIG. 2 is a greatly enlarged view of a portion of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 is a view from above of the dispenser of FIGS. 1 and 2 with the cap and the pusher removed,
- FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the adjustment insert of the invention
- FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the distributor of the preceding figures in the assembled state
- Figures 6 and 7 are vertical cross-sectional views through the distributor of the previous views, respectively in the rest position and in the depressed position.
- the dispenser comprises a main tank R1 forming an outer shell, a case 6 forming a secondary tank R2 (FIGS. 6 and 7), a cover 5 mounted on the two tanks R1 and R2 and serving as support for two pumps P1 and P2 equipped with T1 and T2 plunger tubes.
- Each pump comprises a pump body P10, P20 and an actuating rod or valve P1 1, P21 which slides axially back and forth.
- the upper part of the distributor comprises a cap 1 mounted on the free ends D2 valve stem P1 1, P21 and defining an internal channel which leads to a nozzle 15 forming a dispensing orifice O.
- This upper part of the dispenser also comprises a pusher 2 mounted on the cap 1 to move axially by depressing the valve rods P1 1, P21.
- This upper part of the dispenser also comprises a covering cap 4 which is mounted on the main tank R1 so as to mask all the constituent elements, except the pusher 2 and the nozzle 15.
- the upper part of the dispenser also comprises an adjusting insert 3 which makes it possible to vary the strokes of the actuating rods P1 1, P21, and thus the doses of fluid products distributed by the pumps P1, P2. This is the overall architecture of the dispenser according to this embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 2 only the upper part of the dispenser comprising the cap 1, the pusher 2, the adjusting insert 3 and the covering cap 4 is seen.
- the pusher 2 comprises hooking means 21 intended to cooperate with each other. with fastening profiles 14 formed by the cap 1.
- the pusher 2 is integral in axial displacement of the cap 1.
- the pusher 2 is free to rotate relative to the cap 1.
- the cap 1 comprises two connecting sleeves 1 1 and 12 which are adapted to come to grip the free ends of the actuating rods P1 1 and P21 of the two pumps. Although not visible, an internal channel connects these two connection sleeves 1 1 and 12 to a nozzle housing 13 which opens laterally. This nozzle housing 13 receives a nozzle 15 forming a dispensing orifice O. The nozzle 15 can dispense the mixture of fluid product in various forms: spray, net, hazel, etc.
- the cap 1 also comprises a vertical axial central passage 10 which extends substantially between the two connection sleeves January 1 and 12.
- the adjustment insert 3 comprises an adjusting plate 31 forming two passage openings 32 for the two actuating rods P1 1, P21.
- the adjusting insert 3 also comprises an axial pin 34 which extends upwards from the adjustment plate 31.
- This axial pin 34 has a cross section of polygonal shape or any other form for locking it in rotation.
- This axial pin 34 may be provided with one or more latching profiles 34a.
- the covering cap 4 here has a non-limiting ogival shape.
- the hood is pierced by an oblong window 45 intended to receive the nozzle 15.
- the vertical oblong shape allows the nozzle 15 to move axially when pressing the pusher 2.
- the adjustment plate 31 can be moved in rotation around a vertical axis passing through the axial pin 34, so that the actuating rods P1 1 and P21 move inside the passage openings 32
- the passage openings 32 are bordered by abutment pads 33h, 33I and 33i which have different axial heights. This is more clearly visible in FIG. 4.
- the intermediate stop pads 33i form ramps which make it possible to connect the high abutment pads 33h to the low abutment pads 33I.
- these abutment pads are interconnected to form a closed continuous loop which defines the edge of the passage opening 32.
- the high abutment pads 33h correspond to a maximum thickness of the plate 31, while the low abutment pads 33I correspond to a minimum thickness of the adjustment plate 31.
- the valve rods P1 1 and P21 are either lined mainly by the high abutment pads 33h, or mainly bordered by the lower abutment pads 33I.
- the axial pin 34 of the adjustment insert 3 passes at through the vertical axial central passage 10 of the cap 1 and engages inside a housing 23 formed by the pusher 2.
- This housing 23 has a cross section which cooperates with the axial pin 34 of polygonal cross section of so as to prevent any relative rotation between the pusher 2 and the adjusting insert 3.
- the pin 34 and the housing 23 may for example have a square section, hexagonal or in the form of cross or star. The pin 34 is thus locked in rotation in the housing 23, so that the adjustment insert is rotationally integral with the pusher 2.
- the pin 34 can slide axially, freely or with a slight friction, in the housing 23 on a small axial stroke, which can be limited by the latching profile 34a. This is why we can see a small clearance space 24 in the housing 23 above the axial pin 34.
- the cap 1 it is rotatably mounted, because it is fitted on the rods. actuation P1 1 and P21.
- the pusher 2 and its adjusting insert 3 can rotate about a vertical axis passing through the axial pin 34 on an angular stroke which is limited by the passage openings 32.
- the rotation angle the pusher and the insert is of the order of 45 to 60 °. This angle can of course vary by changing the shape or more particularly the length of the passage openings 32.
- connection sleeves 1 1 and 12 come into contact or abutment with the upper face of the adjustment plate 31 at the abutment lands bordering the passage openings 32.
- the connection sleeves 1 1 and 12 abut with the high abutment pads 33h, corresponding to the maximum thickness of the adjustment plate 31.
- the actuating rods P1 1 and P21 are extended to the maximum, so that the control plate 31 is disposed away from the pump bodies P10 and P20.
- the adjustment insert will be rotated, thereby displacing the passage openings 32 around the valve stems P1 1, P21.
- the pusher can be rotated so as to bring the valve rods P1 1 and P21 to the level of the low abutment pads 33I .
- the dispenser is in an actuated or depressed state, corresponding to an axial support on the pusher 2.
- the assembly formed by the pusher 2, the insert 3 and the cap 1 has been moved downward by pressing the valve stems P1 1 and P21.
- the adjustment plate 31 is then abutted on the pump bodies P10 and P20. Due to the interposition of the adjusting plate 31 between the connecting sleeves 1 1, 12 and the pump bodies P10, P20, the valve rods P1 1 and P21 have not been fully depressed, limiting the axial stroke valve stems, thereby reducing the volume of the fluid dispensed dose.
- the adjustment plate 31 thus acts as a spacer between the sleeves January 1, 12 and the pump bodies P10, P20.
- the volume of the doses distributed can be increased by positioning the low abutment pads 33I around the connecting sleeves 1 1, 12.
- the sleeves can then enter the adjusting plate 31 to come into abutment with the low abutment pads 33I.
- the actuating member of the adjustment insert 3 is formed or constituted by the pusher 2.
- this distributor does not reveal that it includes two tanks and two pumps, and in addition, it does not include specific actuating member for adjusting the doses of fluid dispensed, since it is the pusher 2 which performs this function.
- the abutment surfaces 33h, 331, 33i are situated on the same side as the axial spindle 34. In a variant, the abutment surfaces could be located on the opposite side of the adjustment plate and cooperate with the upper parts of the spindles. pump body P10, P1 1 or washers engaged around the valve stems and resting on the upper parts of the pump bodies P10, P1 1.
- the adjustment plate 31 forms two stable abutment ranges, namely the high range 33h and the low range 33I.
- the control plate 31 can form more than two stable abutment ranges, for example by providing one or more stable intermediate regions in place of the unstable intermediate range 33i.
- the dispensing orifice is common. However, it is possible to envisage a dispensing orifice having two fluid product outlets, without departing from the scope of the invention.
- the case 6 forms the secondary reservoir R2, and a sleeve 62 which rests on an inner shoulder of the tank R1.
- the plunger tube T1 draws a fluid product contained in the secondary reservoir R2
- the plunger tube T2 draws directly into the main reservoir R1 to dispense another fluid product, which is advantageously different from the fluid product of the secondary reservoir R2.
- the lid 5 is mounted on both the case 6 and the main tank R1 and supports the two pump bodies P10 and P20 stably and tightly.
- a duo dose adjustable dispenser by means of the pusher. This makes it possible to produce a duo dispenser having the appearance of a simple dispenser comprising only a reservoir, a pump and a pusher. Depending on the information displayed on the dispenser, the user is more or less well informed of the additional function of the pusher.
