Description

Dispositif de distribution de produit fluide  Fluid product dispensing device
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de distribution de produit fluide, et plus particulièrement un dispositif de pulvérisation nasale d’un produit pharmaceutique. The present invention relates to a device for dispensing a fluid product, and more particularly a device for nasal spraying of a pharmaceutical product.
Les dispositifs de distribution de produit fluide sont bien connus dans l’état de la technique. Ils comportent généralement un réservoir contenant le produit fluide sur lequel est assemblé un organe de distribution, par exemple une pompe ou une valve, qui est généralement actionné au moyen d’une tête de distribution pour distribuer de manière sélective le produit contenu à l’intérieur dudit réservoir. La tête de distribution comporte un orifice de distribution à travers lequel le produit va être pulvérisé, par exemple dans le nez de l’utilisateur dans le cas d’un dispositif de pulvérisation nasale. De nombreux dispositifs de ce type sont actionnés manuellement par l’utilisateur en déplaçant axialement l’un contre l’autre le réservoir et la tête de distribution, ce qui a pour effet d’actionner l’organe de distribution. Ce type de dispositif présente toutefois des inconvénients, notamment lorsque le dispositif est du type à pulvérisation nasale, car la force axiale exercée par l’utilisateur pour actionner le dispositif induit un risque de déplacement de la tête de distribution à l’intérieur de la narine de l’utilisateur, avec des risques de blessure et/ou de distribution incomplète ou inadéquate du produit au moment de l’actionnement. Pour remédier à ce problème, des dispositifs d’actionnement latéral ont été proposés, comportant généralement un levier monté pivotant sur un corps et dont une partie interne est adaptée à coopérer avec l’un parmi la tête de distribution ou le réservoir pour déplacer cet élément contre l’autre et ainsi actionner l’organe de distribution. Ces dispositifs sont toutefois généralement assez complexes, et comportent un grand nombre de parties constitutives, ce qui rend la fabrication et l’assemblage relativement coûteux. De même l’interface entre le système d’actionnement latéral et l’organe de distribution pour transférer le déplacement radial du système d’actionnement en déplacement axial de l’organe de distribution, pour réaliser l’actionnement, est souvent complexe et source de dysfonctionnements. Fluid product dispensing devices are well known in the art. They generally include a reservoir containing the fluid product on which is assembled a dispensing member, for example a pump or a valve, which is generally actuated by means of a dispensing head to selectively distribute the product contained inside. of said reservoir. The dispensing head has a dispensing orifice through which the product will be sprayed, for example into the user's nose in the case of a nasal spray device. Many devices of this type are actuated manually by the user by axially displacing one against the other the reservoir and the dispensing head, which has the effect of actuating the dispensing member. However, this type of device has drawbacks, especially when the device is of the nasal spray type, because the axial force exerted by the user to actuate the device induces a risk of displacement of the dispensing head inside the nostril. of the user, with the risk of injury and / or incomplete or inadequate distribution of the product at the time of actuation. To remedy this problem, lateral actuation devices have been proposed, generally comprising a lever pivotally mounted on a body and an internal part of which is adapted to cooperate with one of the dispensing head or the reservoir for moving this element. against the other and thus actuate the distribution member. These devices are, however, generally quite complex, and comprise a large number of constituent parts, which makes manufacturing and assembly relatively expensive. Similarly, the interface between the lateral actuation system and the dispensing member for transferring the radial displacement of the actuation system in axial displacement of the dispensing member, to effect actuation, is often complex and a source of malfunctions.

La présente invention a pour but de fournir un dispositif de distribution de produit fluide qui ne reproduit pas les inconvénients susmentionnés.  The object of the present invention is to provide a device for dispensing a fluid product which does not have the abovementioned drawbacks.
La présente invention a aussi pour but de fournir un dispositif de distribution de produit fluide, notamment de pulvérisation nasale, qui garantit un actionnement sûr et fiable du dispositif à chaque actionnement, sans risque de blessure pour l’utilisateur.  The present invention also aims to provide a device for dispensing a fluid, in particular a nasal spray, which guarantees safe and reliable actuation of the device on each actuation, without risk of injury to the user.
Plus particulièrement, la présente invention a pour but de fournir un dispositif de distribution de produit fluide qui soit simple et peu coûteux à fabriquer et à assembler.  More particularly, the present invention aims to provide a fluid dispensing device which is simple and inexpensive to manufacture and assemble.
La présente invention a donc pour objet un dispositif de distribution de produit fluide, comportant un corps, un réservoir, notamment en verre, ledit réservoir comportant un col, un organe de distribution, tel qu’une pompe ou une valve, monté sur ledit réservoir, un système d’actionnement latéral solidaire dudit corps, ledit système d’actionnement latéral comportant un levier monté pivotant sur ledit corps, ledit dispositif comportant au moins une projection transversale formée directement sur ledit réservoir, ladite au moins une projection transversale étant formée sur ou sous ledit col du réservoir et coopérant lors de l’actionnement avec ledit système d’actionnement latéral, notamment avec ledit levier, ledit réservoir comportant deux projections transversales parallèles s’étendant de manière symétrique respectivement de chaque côté dudit réservoir, un évidement radial étant défini entre lesdites deux projections transversales parallèles, ledit évidement radial coopérant avec ledit corps pour réaliser un guidage axial dudit réservoir lors de l’actionnement. Avantageusement, chaque projection transversale a une surface arrondie coopérant avec ledit système d’actionnement latéral, notamment avec ledit levier. The present invention therefore relates to a fluid dispenser device, comprising a body, a reservoir, in particular made of glass, said reservoir comprising a neck, a dispensing member, such as a pump or a valve, mounted on said reservoir. , a lateral actuation system integral with said body, said lateral actuation system comprising a lever pivotally mounted on said body, said device comprising at least one transverse projection formed directly on said reservoir, said at least one transverse projection being formed on or under said neck of the reservoir and cooperating during actuation with said lateral actuation system, in particular with said lever, said reservoir comprising two parallel transverse projections extending symmetrically respectively on each side of said reservoir, a radial recess being defined between said two parallel transverse projections, said recess nt radial cooperating with said body to provide axial guidance of said reservoir during actuation. Advantageously, each transverse projection has a rounded surface cooperating with said lateral actuation system, in particular with said lever.
Avantageusement, ladite au moins une projection transversale est moulée avec ledit réservoir.  Advantageously, said at least one transverse projection is molded with said reservoir.
Avantageusement, ledit organe de distribution est une pompe comportant un piston coulissant dans un corps de pompe.  Advantageously, said dispensing member is a pump comprising a piston sliding in a pump body.
Ces caractéristiques et avantages et d’autres apparaîtront plus clairement au cours de la description détaillée suivante, faite en référence aux dessins joints, donnés à titre d’exemples non limitatifs, et sur lesquels :  These characteristics and advantages and others will appear more clearly during the following detailed description, made with reference to the attached drawings, given by way of nonlimiting examples, and in which:
- la figure 1 est une vue schématique en section transversale d’un dispositif selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, en position de repos;  - Figure 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a device according to an advantageous embodiment, in the rest position;
- la figure 2 est une vue similaire à celle de la figure 1 , en position d’actionnement ;  - Figure 2 is a view similar to that of Figure 1, in the actuating position;
- la figure 3 est une vue en perspective d’un ensemble formé d’une pompe assemblée sur un réservoir, selon une première variante du mode de réalisation des figures 1 et 2 ; et  - Figure 3 is a perspective view of an assembly formed by a pump assembled on a tank, according to a first variant of the embodiment of Figures 1 and 2; and
- les figures 4 et 5 sont des vues schématiques en section transversale selon respectivement deux plans de coupes perpendiculaires d’un réservoir selon une seconde variante du mode de réalisation des figures 1 et 2.  - Figures 4 and 5 are schematic views in cross section respectively on two perpendicular sectional planes of a tank according to a second variant of the embodiment of Figures 1 and 2.
Dans la description, les termes "axial", " transversal" et "radial" se réfèrent à l'axe longitudinal A représenté sur les figures 1 et 2.  In the description, the terms "axial", "transverse" and "radial" refer to the longitudinal axis A shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
Le dispositif de distribution de produit fluide représenté sur les figures 1 et 2 comporte un corps 10 qui incorpore avantageusement un orifice de distribution 5. En variante, l’orifice de distribution peut être formé dans une tête de distribution assemblée et fixée audit corps.  The fluid dispenser device shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 comprises a body 10 which advantageously incorporates a dispensing orifice 5. As a variant, the dispensing orifice can be formed in a dispensing head assembled and fixed to said body.
A l’intérieur de ce corps est disposé un réservoir 20 contenant un produit fluide à distribuer. Un organe de distribution 30, en particulier une pompe ou une valve, est assemblé sur le col 21 du réservoir 20, en particulier au moyen d’une bague de fixation, de manière connue. L’unité formée du réservoir 20 et de l’organe de distribution 30 est capable de se déplacer axialement à l’intérieur du corps 10 lors de l’actionnement pour distribuer une dose de produit à travers l’orifice de distribution 5. Inside this body is arranged a reservoir 20 containing a fluid product to be dispensed. A dispensing member 30, in particular a pump or a valve, is assembled on the neck 21 of the reservoir 20, in particular by means of a fixing ring, in a known manner. The unit formed by the reservoir 20 and the dispensing member 30 is capable of moving axially inside the body 10 during actuation to dispense a dose of product through the dispensing orifice 5.
L’organe de distribution 30 est avantageusement une pompe comportant un piston coulissant dans un corps de pompe. La structure d’un tel organe de distribution est bien connue et n’est donc pas représentée plus en détail sur les figures, notamment dans des buts de clarté.  The dispensing member 30 is advantageously a pump comprising a piston sliding in a pump body. The structure of such a dispensing member is well known and is therefore not shown in more detail in the figures, in particular for purposes of clarity.
Pour réaliser l’actionnement du dispositif, le corps 10 comporte un système d’actionnement latéral 40. Celui-ci peut comporter avantageusement un levier 42 monté pivotant sur le corps 10 autour d’un axe de pivotement P, ledit levier 42 coopérant lors de l’actionnement avec l’unité formée par le réservoir 20 et l’organe de distribution 30.  To carry out the actuation of the device, the body 10 comprises a lateral actuation system 40. This may advantageously include a lever 42 pivotally mounted on the body 10 around a pivot axis P, said lever 42 cooperating during actuation with the unit formed by the reservoir 20 and the dispensing member 30.
Le système d’actionnement latéral 40 coopère avec au moins une projection transversale 25 formée directement sur le réservoir 20, sur ou sous le col 21 du réservoir, par exemple lors du moulage dudit réservoir 20.  The lateral actuation system 40 cooperates with at least one transverse projection 25 formed directly on the reservoir 20, on or under the neck 21 of the reservoir, for example during the molding of said reservoir 20.
Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, au moins une projection transversale 25 coopère directement avec une surface de came 43 dudit levier 42. En variante, on pourrait prévoir un élément mobile, monté pivotant à l’intérieur dudit levier 42, et qui pourrait coopérer avec au moins une projection transversale 25 du réservoir 20.  In the embodiment shown, at least one transverse projection 25 cooperates directly with a cam surface 43 of said lever 42. As a variant, a mobile element could be provided, pivotally mounted inside said lever 42, and which could cooperate with at least one transverse projection 25 of the reservoir 20.
Selon l'invention, ledit réservoir 20 comporte deux projections transversales 25 parallèles qui s’étendent de manière symétrique respectivement de chaque côté dudit réservoir 20. Cette mise en oeuvre permet de décaler lesdites projections transversales de part et d’autre de l’axe longitudinal A, pour ainsi d’une part réduire les dimensions dudit levier 42 et d’autre part éviter d’avoir à orienter le réservoir 20 lors de l’assemblage. Un autre avantage de cette mise en oeuvre est qu’elle permet un guidage axial du réservoir 20 lors de son déplacement, en utilisant l’évidement radial 24 défini entre les deux projections transversales parallèles 25. Ce guidage peut notamment être réalisé par un profil adapté prévu dans le corps 10.  According to the invention, said tank 20 comprises two parallel transverse projections 25 which extend symmetrically respectively on each side of said tank 20. This implementation makes it possible to offset said transverse projections on either side of the longitudinal axis A, so on the one hand reduce the dimensions of said lever 42 and on the other hand avoid having to orient the reservoir 20 during assembly. Another advantage of this implementation is that it allows axial guidance of the reservoir 20 during its movement, using the radial recess 24 defined between the two parallel transverse projections 25. This guidance can in particular be achieved by a suitable profile provided in body 10.
Dans une première variante représentée sur la figure 3, les projections transversales 25 sont disposées sur le col 21 du réservoir 20. Dans une seconde variante représentée sur les figures 4 et 5, les projections transversales 25 sont disposées juste sous ledit col 21 , dans la position droite des figures. In a first variant shown in Figure 3, the transverse projections 25 are arranged on the neck 21 of the reservoir 20. In a second variant shown in Figures 4 and 5, the projections transverse 25 are arranged just under said neck 21, in the straight position of the figures.
De préférence, le réservoir 20 est réalisé en verre, de sorte que chaque projection transversale 25, également en verre, présente un coefficient de frottement favorable au contact du système d’actionnement latéral 40, en particulier du levier 42. Ceci évite d’avoir à siliconer ladite au moins une projection transversale 25, comme cela est généralement nécessaire en cas de frottement d’une pièce plastique sur une autre pièce plastique.  Preferably, the reservoir 20 is made of glass, so that each transverse projection 25, also made of glass, has a coefficient of friction favorable in contact with the lateral actuation system 40, in particular of the lever 42. This avoids having siliconizing said at least one transverse projection 25, as is generally necessary in the event of friction of a plastic part on another plastic part.
Avantageusement, chaque projection transversale 25 a une surface de contact arrondie coopérant avec la surface de came 43 du levier 42.  Advantageously, each transverse projection 25 has a rounded contact surface cooperating with the cam surface 43 of the lever 42.
La présente invention permet donc non seulement de diminuer le nombre de composants, en supprimant au moins la bague rapportée prévue pour coopérer avec le système d’actionnement latéral, mais aussi de simplifier le procédé d’assemblage, en supprimant l’étape de siliconage nécessaire avec une telle bague rapportée.  The present invention therefore makes it possible not only to reduce the number of components, by eliminating at least the attached ring provided to cooperate with the lateral actuation system, but also to simplify the assembly process, by eliminating the necessary siliconization step. with such an added ring.
Bien que l’invention ait été décrite en référence plusieurs variantes de réalisation de celle-ci, il est entendu qu’un homme du métier peut y apporter toutes modifications utiles sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention tel que défini par les revendications annexées.  Although the invention has been described with reference to several variant embodiments thereof, it is understood that a person skilled in the art can make any useful modifications to it without departing from the scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.
