Description

Ensemble de distribution de produit fluide Fluid product dispensing set
La présente invention concerne un ensemble de distribution de produit fluide mettant en oeuvre deux distributeurs de produit fluide comprenant chacun un réservoir, un organe de distribution tel qu’une pompe, qui est dotée d’une tête de distribution qui peut intégrer un poussoir et un orifice de distribution. Le domaine d’application privilégié de la présente invention est celui de la parfumerie, mais il peut également s’appliquer à ceux de la cosmétique. The present invention relates to a fluid dispenser assembly using two fluid dispensers each comprising a reservoir, a dispensing member such as a pump, which is provided with a dispensing head which can incorporate a pusher and a distribution orifice. The preferred field of application of the present invention is that of perfumery, but it can also be applied to those of cosmetics.
Dans l’art antérieur, on connaît déjà des ensembles de distribution intégrant deux distributeurs, comme par exemple des distributeurs « duo ». Ce type d’ensemble de « distribution duo » comprend en général deux réservoirs, deux organes de distribution et une tête de distribution commune avec deux orifices de distribution distincts ou un orifice de distribution commun. Ce type d’ensemble de distribution duo est utilisé pour mélanger deux produits fluides différents, soit au niveau de la tête de distribution, soit à la sortie des orifices de distribution. Bien entendu, le but de ces ensembles de distribution duo est de pouvoir actionner les deux distributeurs simultanément ou de manière consécutive. In the prior art, distribution assemblies integrating two distributors are already known, for example "duo" distributors. This type of "duo distribution" assembly generally comprises two reservoirs, two distribution members and a common distribution head with two separate distribution orifices or a common distribution orifice. This type of duo dispensing set is used to mix two different fluid products, either at the dispensing head or at the outlet of the dispensing ports. Of course, the purpose of these duo distribution sets is to be able to actuate the two distributors simultaneously or consecutively.
Dans l’art antérieur, il existe encore un autre type d’ensemble de distribution comprenant deux distributeurs. Il s’agit d’ensembles constitués d’un flacon source auquel est associé un distributeur rechargeable, communément désigné sous le terme de « nomade ». Le distributeur nomade, équipé d’un clapet de remplissage, peut être rapporté sur la tige d’actionnement du flacon source de manière à remplir le réservoir du distributeur nomade. En d’autres termes, on se sert du distributeur nomade pour actionner le distributeur source. In the prior art, there is yet another type of dispensing assembly comprising two dispensers. These are assemblies consisting of a source bottle with which is associated a refillable dispenser, commonly referred to as the "nomad". The nomadic dispenser, equipped with a filling valve, can be attached to the actuating rod of the source bottle so as to fill the reservoir of the nomadic dispenser. In other words, the nomadic distributor is used to actuate the source distributor.
La présente invention a pour but de définir un autre type d’ensemble de distribution, qui n’est ni un ensemble duo, ni un ensemble source/nomade. The object of the present invention is to define another type of distribution set, which is neither a duo set, nor a source / nomad set.
Pour ce faire, la présente invention propose un ensemble de distribution de produit fluide comprenant un premier distributeur de produit fluide comprenant un premier réservoir, un premier organe de distribution, telle qu’une pompe, doté d’une première tête de distribution et d’un premier poussoir, et un second distributeur de produit fluide comprenant un second réservoir, un second organe de distribution, telle qu’une pompe, doté d’une seconde tête de distribution et d’un second poussoir, le second distributeur étant monté de manière amovible sur le premier distributeur de manière à empêcher l’actionnement d’un des deux distributeurs, caractérisé en ce que la capacité du second réservoir du second distributeur est largement inférieure à celle du premier réservoir du premier distributeur, le second distributeur comprenant une coque extérieure qui est largement ouverte à son extrémité inférieure et présente une échancrure pour le passage du second poussoir, ainsi qu’une fenêtre pour un orifice de distribution, le second distributeur comprenant également une pièce d’insert qui est engagée à l’intérieur de la coque externe et qui forme avec la coque un espace interne dans lequel est disposé le second réservoir, ainsi qu’un logement de réception dans lequel est reçu l’organe de distribution du premier distributeur, le second distributeur s’intégrant à la forme du premier distributeur, et particulièrement à la forme du premier réservoir, de sorte que le second distributeur peut être assimilé à un simple capot de protection qui vient coiffer la partie haute du premier distributeur, seule l’échancrure et la fenêtre permettant de comprendre que ce capot particulier fait office de distributeur. To do this, the present invention provides a fluid dispenser assembly comprising a first fluid dispenser comprising a first reservoir, a first dispensing member, such as a pump, provided with a first dispensing head and a first pusher, and a second fluid dispenser comprising a second reservoir, a second dispensing member, such as a pump, provided with a second distribution head and a second pusher, the second distributor being removably mounted on the first distributor so as to prevent the actuation of one of the two distributors, characterized in that that the capacity of the second reservoir of the second distributor is considerably less than that of the first reservoir of the first distributor, the second distributor comprising an outer shell which is widely open at its lower end and has a notch for the passage of the second pusher, as well as a window for a dispensing orifice, the second dispenser also comprising an insert piece which is engaged inside the outer shell and which forms with the shell an internal space in which the second reservoir is arranged, as well as a receiving housing in which is received the distribution member of the first distributor, the second distributor being integrated into the shape of the first distributor, and particularly in the shape of the first reservoir, so that the second distributor can be likened to a simple protective cover which covers the upper part of the first distributor, only the notch and the window making it possible to understand that this particular cover acts as a distributor .
Ainsi, on est clairement en dehors des ensembles duos et des ensembles source nomade. Le lien structurel entre les deux distributeurs est une connexion amovible, que l’on ne retrouve pas dans les ensembles duos. Même dans les ensembles source/nomade, on ne peut pas parler de montage du nomade sur le flacon source, étant donné que le seul point de contact éphémère est l’extrémité libre de la tige d’actionnement du flacon source. D’autre part, l’ensemble de l’invention réalise une fonction inédite, à savoir d’empêcher l’actionnement d’un distributeur au moyen de l’autre distributeur. Ceci n’est clairement pas le cas dans les ensembles duos et les ensembles source nomade. L’ensemble de l’invention offre cependant une entité cohérente que l’utilisateur peut manipuler sans risque que les deux distributeurs ne se déconnectent. Thus, we are clearly outside the duet sets and the nomadic source sets. The structural link between the two distributors is a removable connection, which is not found in duet sets. Even in the source / nomad assemblies, we cannot speak of mounting the nomad on the source bottle, given that the only ephemeral point of contact is the free end of the actuating rod of the source bottle. On the other hand, the whole of the invention performs a novel function, namely to prevent the actuation of a distributor by means of the other distributor. This is clearly not the case in duet sets and nomadic source sets. The whole of the invention, however, offers an entity that the user can handle without risk of the two distributors disconnecting.
Le second distributeur peut être maintenu par frottement ou encliquetage, ou encore par vissage ou aimantation sur le premier distributeur en masquant la première tête de distribution et le premier poussoir, formant ainsi un capot de protection pour le premier distributeur. En soignant l’esthétique, il est même possible que le second distributeur ressemble visuellement à un simple capot de protection : l’utilisateur ne découvrant qu’ultérieurement que ce capot fait également office de distributeur supplémentaire, nomade ou d’appoint. The second distributor can be maintained by friction or snap-fastening, or else by screwing or magnetizing on the first distributor, masking the first distribution head and the first pusher, thus forming a protective cover for the first distributor. By taking care of the aesthetics, it is even possible that the second dispenser visually resembles a simple protective cover: the user does not discover until later that this cover also acts as an additional, nomadic or auxiliary distributor.
Selon un mode de réalisation pratique, le second distributeur comprend en outre une coque extérieure dans laquelle le second réservoir est monté de manière amovible, de manière à pouvoir être extrait manuellement de la coque extérieure. Ainsi, le second réservoir peut être remplacé ou simplement rempli avant d’être remis en place dans la coque extérieure. Avantageusement, le second distributeur comprend en outre une pièce d’insert qui est reçue dans la coque extérieure, la pièce d’insert formant avec la coque un espace interne pour le second réservoir et un logement de réception pour la première tête de distribution. Cette pièce d’insert peut également servir à guider le second poussoir. According to a practical embodiment, the second dispenser further comprises an outer shell in which the second reservoir is removably mounted, so as to be able to be extracted manually from the outer shell. Thus, the second tank can be replaced or simply filled before being replaced in the outer shell. Advantageously, the second dispenser further comprises an insert part which is received in the outer shell, the insert part forming with the shell an internal space for the second reservoir and a receiving housing for the first dispensing head. This insert piece can also be used to guide the second pusher.
Selon une caractéristique intéressante de l’invention, la pièce d’insert peut être montée de manière amovible dans la coque extérieure, de manière à pouvoir en être extraite manuellement, avantageusement en la saisissant par le logement de réception, afin de pouvoir extraire le second réservoir. En d’autres termes, le second distributeur est presque entièrement démontable de manière à pouvoir retirer le second réservoir pour son remplacement ou son remplissage. En variante, le logement de réception peut communiquer directement avec l’espace interne, de manière à permettre le retrait du second réservoir à travers le logement de réception de la pièce d’insert. Dans ce cas, il n’est pas nécessaire d’extraire la pièce d’insert de la coque externe. According to an interesting characteristic of the invention, the insert part can be mounted removably in the outer shell, so as to be able to be extracted therefrom manually, advantageously by gripping it by the receiving housing, in order to be able to extract the second tank. In other words, the second dispenser is almost completely removable so that the second reservoir can be removed for replacement or refilling. Alternatively, the receiving housing may communicate directly with the internal space, so as to allow removal of the second reservoir through the receiving housing of the insert piece. In this case, it is not necessary to extract the insert piece from the outer shell.
Selon un autre mode de réalisation avantageux, le second distributeur peut comprendre une partie basse intégrant le second réservoir et une partie haute intégrant le second organe de distribution, le second réservoir comprenant un col fileté et le second organe de distribution comprenant une bague de fixation à visser qui est en prise avec le col fileté du second réservoir, de sorte que les parties basse et haute peuvent être séparées par dévissage, de manière à avoir accès au second réservoir pour l’extraire de la partie basse. According to another advantageous embodiment, the second distributor can comprise a lower part integrating the second reservoir and a part high integrating the second dispensing member, the second reservoir comprising a threaded neck and the second dispensing member comprising a screw-on fixing ring which engages with the threaded neck of the second reservoir, so that the lower and upper parts can be separated by unscrewing, so as to have access to the second reservoir to extract it from the lower part.
Selon un autre aspect intéressant de l’invention, le second organe de distribution peut être monté de manière amovible sur le second réservoir et le premier organe de distribution peut être avantageusement monté de manière amovible sur le premier réservoir, de manière à pourvoir remplir le second réservoir avec le premier réservoir. L’ensemble de l’invention s’apparente alors à un ensemble source/nomade, avec la capacité du réservoir du premier distributeur qui est avantageusement bien supérieure à celle du réservoir du second distributeur. According to another interesting aspect of the invention, the second distribution member can be removably mounted on the second reservoir and the first distribution member can advantageously be removably mounted on the first reservoir, so as to be able to fill the second. tank with the first tank. The whole of the invention is therefore akin to a source / nomadic assembly, with the capacity of the reservoir of the first distributor which is advantageously much greater than that of the reservoir of the second distributor.
Selon un autre mode de réalisation pratique, le premier organe de distribution peut être monté sur le premier réservoir au moyen d’une bague de fixation, le second distributeur de produit fluide venant en prise amovible avec la bague de fixation. En variante, il est également possible de monter le second distributeur directement sur le premier réservoir du premier distributeur. According to another practical embodiment, the first dispenser member can be mounted on the first reservoir by means of a fixing ring, the second fluid dispenser coming into removable engagement with the fixing ring. As a variant, it is also possible to mount the second distributor directly on the first reservoir of the first distributor.
Toujours dans l’esprit d’un ensemble source/nomade, il est également envisageable que le second réservoir soit pourvu d’un clapet de remplissage. Ainsi, il peut être rechargé au moyen du premier distributeur ou d’un autre distributeur. En variante, le second réservoir peut être pourvu d’une ouverture obturée par un bouchon, avantageusement formé par la pièce d’insert. Still in the spirit of a source / nomad unit, it is also possible that the second tank be fitted with a filling valve. Thus, it can be recharged using the first dispenser or another dispenser. As a variant, the second reservoir can be provided with an opening closed by a plug, advantageously formed by the insert part.
Selon une autre forme de réalisation particulièrement esthétique, le premier réservoir peut former une niche, dans laquelle le second distributeur est reçu de manière amovible, la niche masquant la seconde tête de distribution et optionnellement le second poussoir. Ainsi, le second distributeur peut être entièrement entouré par le premier réservoir du premier distributeur. Il peut être maintenu dans la niche par frottement ou par encliquetage. Le second poussoir peut être apparent, mais la distribution de produit fluide sera empêchée du fait de l’obturation de l’orifice de distribution formée au niveau de la tête de distribution. Par « niche », il faut entendre tout évidement, dépression, encoche, échancrure, logement, cavité, trou, passage, tunnel, traversant ou borgne, formé par le réservoir, qui est avantageusement réalisé de manière monobloc ou en plusieurs pièces en verre, matière plastique, métal, etc. According to another particularly aesthetic embodiment, the first reservoir can form a niche, in which the second distributor is removably received, the niche masking the second distribution head and optionally the second pusher. Thus, the second distributor can be completely surrounded by the first reservoir of the first distributor. It can be maintained in the niche by friction or by snapping. The second pusher may be visible, but the distribution of fluid will be prevented due to the blockage of the dispensing orifice formed at the level of the dispensing head. By "niche", we must understand any recess, depression, notch, indentation, housing, cavity, hole, passage, tunnel, through or blind, formed by the reservoir, which is advantageously made in one piece or in several pieces of glass, plastic, metal, etc.
Il est à noter qu’un tel réservoir formant une niche pour un second distributeur peut faire l’objet d’une protection en soi, c’est-à-dire indépendamment du fait que le montage amovible d’un distributeur empêche son actionnement ou l’actionnement de l’autre distributeur. It should be noted that such a reservoir forming a niche for a second dispenser may be the subject of protection in itself, that is to say regardless of whether the removable mounting of a dispenser prevents its actuation or actuation of the other distributor.
L’esprit de l’invention réside dans le fait d’intégrer discrètement un second distributeur à un premier distributeur, qui peut globalement garder une configuration classique. Le but est que le second distributeur soit le moins visible possible. La capacité du second réservoir du second distributeur est de préférence largement inférieure à celle du premier réservoir du premier distributeur. Cela permet de réaliser le second distributeur avec un encombrement bien inférieur à celui du premier distributeur. Le second distributeur peut être placé au-dessus du premier distributeur, ou au contraire en dessous, par exemple intégré à un socle ou une embase. On peut également intégrer le second distributeur dans le réservoir du premier distributeur. De nombreuses variantes sont possibles, dans la mesure où le second distributeur est monté de manière amovible sur le premier distributeur en empêchant son actionnement ou l’actionnement de l’autre distributeur. The spirit of the invention lies in the fact of discretely integrating a second distributor with a first distributor, which can generally keep a classic configuration. The goal is for the second distributor to be as invisible as possible. The capacity of the second reservoir of the second distributor is preferably much less than that of the first reservoir of the first distributor. This makes it possible to produce the second distributor with a much smaller footprint than that of the first distributor. The second distributor can be placed above the first distributor, or on the contrary below, for example integrated into a base or a base. The second distributor can also be integrated into the reservoir of the first distributor. Many variations are possible, as long as the second distributor is removably mounted on the first distributor preventing its actuation or the actuation of the other distributor.
L’invention sera maintenant plus amplement décrite en référence aux dessins joints, donnant à titre d’exemples non limitatifs, quatre modes de réalisation de l’invention. The invention will now be more fully described with reference to the accompanying drawings, giving by way of non-limiting examples, four embodiments of the invention.

On se référera tout d’abord aux figures 1 à 3 pour décrire en détail le premier mode de réalisation d’un ensemble de distribution selon l’invention. Celui-ci comprend un premier distributeur de produit fluide 1 et un second distributeur de produit fluide 2. Selon l’invention, le second distributeur 2 est monté de manière amovible sur le premier distributeur 1 . En d’autres termes, le second distributeur 2 peut être retiré du premier distributeur 1 . We will first refer to Figures 1 to 3 to describe in detail the first embodiment of a distribution assembly according to the invention. This comprises a first fluid dispenser 1 and a second fluid dispenser 2. According to the invention, the second dispenser 2 is removably mounted on the first dispenser 1. In other words, the second distributor 2 can be removed from the first distributor 1.
Le premier distributeur 1 présente une configuration tout à fait classique dans le domaine de la parfumerie ou de la cosmétique. Il comprend un premier réservoir 1 1 qui peut être réalisé en n’importe quel matériau approprié comme par exemple du verre, une matière plastique, du métal, etc. Le premier réservoir 1 1 comprend un épaulement supérieur 12 à partir duquel fait saillie un col 13 définissant une ouverture de section réduite. Un organe de distribution 14, tel qu’une pompe ou même une valve, est monté de manière fixe et étanche dans l’ouverture du col 13 au moyen d’une bague de fixation 141 , qui peut par exemple être une bague à visser. Il est également possible d’utiliser une bague à sertir ou encore une bague à encliqueter. L’organe de distribution 14 est doté d’une tête de distribution 15 qui intègre à la fois un orifice de distribution 151 et un poussoir 152. Sans sortir du cadre de l’invention, il est également possible d’envisager que l’orifice de distribution soit fixe et dissocié du poussoir. De manière tout à fait conventionnelle, la tête de distribution 15 est montée sur la tige d’actionnement de l’organe de distribution 14 et intègre un canal interne d’alimentation qui relie un orifice de distribution 151 , qui peut par exemple être formé par un gicleur, apte à créer un spray. Par appui axial sur le poussoir 152, l’organe de distribution 14 est actionné, ce qui résulte en une distribution de produit fluide sous pression à travers la tige d’actionnement et la tête de distribution pour finalement sortir à travers l’orifice de distribution 151 . The first dispenser 1 has a completely conventional configuration in the field of perfumery or cosmetics. It comprises a first reservoir 1 1 which can be made of any suitable material such as, for example, glass, plastic, metal, etc. The first reservoir 1 1 comprises an upper shoulder 12 from which protrudes a neck 13 defining an opening of reduced section. A distribution member 14, such as a pump or even a valve, is mounted in a fixed and sealed manner in the opening of the neck 13 by means of a fixing ring 141, which may for example be a screw ring. It is also possible to use a crimp ring or a snap ring. The dispensing member 14 is provided with a dispensing head 15 which incorporates both a dispensing orifice 151 and a pusher 152. Without departing from the scope of the invention, it is also possible to envisage that the orifice distribution is fixed and separate from the pusher. In a completely conventional manner, the distribution head 15 is mounted on the actuating rod of the distribution member 14 and incorporates an internal supply channel which connects a distribution 151, which can for example be formed by a nozzle, capable of creating a spray. By axial bearing on the pusher 152, the distribution member 14 is actuated, which results in a distribution of pressurized fluid product through the actuating rod and the distribution head to finally exit through the distribution orifice. 151.
Le second distributeur de produit fluide 2 est moins classique. Il intègre également un réservoir de produit fluide 21 formant un col 23, dans lequel est monté un second organe de distribution 24, tel qu’une pompe ou une valve au moyen d’une bague de fixation 241 , qui peut par exemple être une bague à visser, à sertir ou encore à encliqueter. Le second organe de distribution 24 peut être une pompe avec ou sans reprise d’air. Cet organe de distribution 24 est équipé d’une tête de distribution 25 formant un orifice de distribution 251 . Un poussoir 26 est monté sur la tête de distribution 25 pour actionner l’organe de distribution 24 et refouler du produit fluide à travers la tête 25 et finalement à travers son orifice de pulvérisation 251 . Le second distributeur 2 comprend également une coque extérieure 27 qui est largement ouverte à son extrémité inférieure et présente également une échancrure ou ouverture 272 à son extrémité supérieure pour le passage d’une partie du poussoir 26. La coque forme aussi une fenêtre 271 pour l’orifice de distribution 241 . Le distributeur 2 comprend également une pièce d’insert 28 qui est engagée à l’intérieur de la coque externe 27 et maintenue en place par des moyens appropriés quelconques. La pièce d’insert 28 forme, avec la coque externe 27, un espace interne 281 dans lequel est disposé le second réservoir 21 , ainsi qu’un logement de réception 282 dans lequel est reçu le col 13, l’organe de distribution 14, et sa tête de distribution 15. La pièce d’insert 28 peut également servir au guidage axial du poussoir 26. The second fluid dispenser 2 is less conventional. It also incorporates a fluid reservoir 21 forming a neck 23, in which is mounted a second distribution member 24, such as a pump or a valve by means of a fixing ring 241, which may for example be a ring. to screw, crimp or snap. The second distribution member 24 can be a pump with or without air intake. This distribution member 24 is equipped with a distribution head 25 forming a distribution orifice 251. A pusher 26 is mounted on the dispensing head 25 to actuate the dispensing member 24 and discharge the fluid product through the head 25 and finally through its spray orifice 251. The second distributor 2 also comprises an outer shell 27 which is widely open at its lower end and also has a notch or opening 272 at its upper end for the passage of part of the pusher 26. The shell also forms a window 271 for the valve. distribution orifice 241. The dispenser 2 also includes an insert piece 28 which is engaged within the outer shell 27 and held in place by any suitable means. The insert part 28 forms, with the outer shell 27, an internal space 281 in which the second reservoir 21 is arranged, as well as a receiving housing 282 in which the neck 13 is received, the dispensing member 14, and its dispensing head 15. The insert piece 28 can also be used for the axial guidance of the pusher 26.
Le second distributeur 2 est maintenu de manière amovible sur le premier distributeur 1 en venant par exemple en prise avec la bague de fixation 141 . La paroi interne du logement de réception 282 peut par exemple venir en contact de frottement, avec la paroi externe de la bague de fixation 141 . Un léger encliquetage est possible. Un maintien par vissage ou aimantation est également possible. En variante ou en complément, il est également envisageable que la coque externe 27 et/ou la pièce d’insert 28 viennent en prise de frottement d’encliquetage, avec le premier réservoir 1 1 , par exemple au niveau de la périphérie de l’épaulement 12. Selon une caractéristique de l’invention, la pièce d’insert 28 est montée de manière amovible à l’intérieur de la coque externe 27, de sorte que la pièce de l’insert 28 peut être extraite de la coque 27. En pratique, on peut se servir du logement de réception 282 pour saisir fermement la pièce d’insert 28 (passage d’un doigt), afin de la désengager de la coque externe 27. La pièce d’insert 28 peut être simplement maintenue par frottement à l’intérieur de la coque externe 27, ou encore par un léger encliquetage. Ainsi, on peut avoir accès au second réservoir 21 avec son organe de distribution 24 monté dessus. On peut alors procéder à son remplacement ou à son remplissage, dans le cas où la bague de fixation 241 est amovible. Après remplacement ou remplissage, la pièce d’insert 28 avec son réservoir monté dedans va à nouveau être insérée à l’intérieur de la coque externe 27, de manière à reconstituer le second distributeur 2. The second distributor 2 is removably held on the first distributor 1, for example by engaging with the fixing ring 141. The internal wall of the receiving housing 282 can for example come into frictional contact with the external wall of the fixing ring 141. A slight click is possible. It is also possible to maintain it by screwing or magnetizing. As a variant or in addition, it is also it is conceivable that the outer shell 27 and / or the insert part 28 come into snap-on friction engagement, with the first reservoir 11, for example at the periphery of the shoulder 12. According to a characteristic of the invention, the insert piece 28 is removably mounted inside the outer shell 27, so that the insert piece 28 can be extracted from the shell 27. In practice, the housing can be used. receiving 282 to firmly grasp the insert piece 28 (passage of a finger), in order to disengage it from the outer shell 27. The insert piece 28 can simply be held by friction inside the outer shell 27, or by a slight snap. Thus, one can have access to the second reservoir 21 with its distribution member 24 mounted on it. One can then proceed to its replacement or to its filling, in the case where the fixing ring 241 is removable. After replacement or filling, the insert part 28 with its reservoir mounted therein will again be inserted inside the outer shell 27, so as to reconstitute the second distributor 2.
Dans le cas où l’organe de distribution 24 peut être retiré du second réservoir 21 , il est avantageux de prévoir également une bague de fixation 141 qui peut être retirée du premier réservoir 1 1 . On peut ainsi remplir le second réservoir 21 avec le premier réservoir 1 1 . En effet, on peut aisément remarquer sur la figure 1 que la contenance du premier réservoir 1 1 est considérablement plus grande que celle du second réservoir 21 . A titre indicatif, le premier réservoir 1 1 peut avoir une contenance de 50 à 200 ml environ, alors que le second réservoir 21 peut avoir une contenance de l’ordre de 10 ml. In the case where the distribution member 24 can be removed from the second reservoir 21, it is advantageous to also provide a fixing ring 141 which can be removed from the first reservoir 1 January. We can thus fill the second tank 21 with the first tank 1 January. Indeed, one can easily notice in Figure 1 that the capacity of the first tank 1 1 is considerably greater than that of the second tank 21. As an indication, the first reservoir 1 1 may have a capacity of about 50 to 200 ml, while the second reservoir 21 may have a capacity of the order of 10 ml.
En se référant à la figure 2, on peut voir que le second distributeur 2 s’intégre à la forme du premier distributeur 1 , et particulièrement à la forme du premier réservoir 1 1 . De prime abord, le second distributeur 2 peut être assimilé à un simple capot de protection qui vient coiffer la partie haute du premier distributeur 1 . Seule l’échancrure 272 pour le poussoir 26 et la fenêtre oblongue 271 pour l’orifice de distribution 241 permettent de comprendre que ce capot particulier fait office de distributeur. Referring to Figure 2, it can be seen that the second distributor 2 is integrated into the shape of the first distributor 1, and particularly into the shape of the first reservoir 11. At first glance, the second distributor 2 can be likened to a simple protective cover which covers the upper part of the first distributor 1. Only the notch 272 for the pusher 26 and the oblong window 271 for the dispensing orifice 241 make it possible to understand that this particular cover acts as a dispenser.
En se référant à la figure 4, on voit un second mode de réalisation, qui est une variante du premier. Le premier distributeur 1 peut être sensiblement ou parfaitement identique à celui du premier mode de réalisation. Seul le second distributeur 2’ diffère de celui du premier mode de réalisation. On peut notamment voir que l’espace interne 281’ qui abrite le second réservoir 21’ communique largement avec le logement de réception 282’ qui abrite la partie supérieure du premier distributeur 1 . Ainsi, il est possible d’extraire le second réservoir 21’, avec son organe de distribution 24, hors de la pièce d’insert 28’ enchâssée à l’intérieur de la coque externe 28. Le second réservoir 21’ peut ainsi être remplacé ou rempli. A cet effet, le réservoir 21’ peut comprendre un clapet de remplissage 29, à travers lequel du produit fluide peut être injecté à l’intérieur du réservoir 21’. On peut par exemple retirer la tête de distribution du premier distributeur 1 de manière à dégager sa tige d’actionnement. Le second réservoir 21’ peut alors être ramené sur le premier distributeur 1 en engageant la tige d’actionnement du premier distributeur 1 dans l’entrée du clapet de remplissage 29. L’organe de distribution 24 peut être une pompe airless, c’est-à-dire sans reprise d’air, de sorte qu’une dépression se forme dans le second réservoir 21’. Cette dépression peut être mise à profit pour faciliter le remplissage du réservoir 21’ à travers le clapet 29. Referring to Figure 4, we see a second embodiment, which is a variant of the first. The first distributor 1 can be substantially or perfectly identical to that of the first embodiment. Only the second distributor 2 'differs from that of the first embodiment. It can in particular be seen that the internal space 281 'which houses the second reservoir 21' communicates widely with the reception housing 282 'which houses the upper part of the first distributor 1. Thus, it is possible to extract the second reservoir 21 ', with its distribution member 24, from the insert part 28' embedded inside the outer shell 28. The second reservoir 21 'can thus be replaced. or filled. For this purpose, the reservoir 21 'can comprise a filling valve 29, through which the fluid product can be injected inside the reservoir 21'. For example, the dispensing head can be removed from the first dispenser 1 so as to release its actuating rod. The second reservoir 21 'can then be returned to the first distributor 1 by engaging the actuating rod of the first distributor 1 in the inlet of the filling valve 29. The distribution member 24 can be an airless pump, that is, that is to say without air intake, so that a vacuum forms in the second tank 21 '. This depression can be used to facilitate the filling of the reservoir 21 'through the valve 29.
La connexion amovible de ce second distributeur 2’ sur le premier distributeur 1 peut se faire par encliquetage, serrage ou frottement au niveau du réservoir 1 1 , et plus particulièrement au niveau de la périphérie externe de l’épaulement 12. The removable connection of this second distributor 2 ’on the first distributor 1 can be made by snapping, clamping or friction at the level of the reservoir 1 1, and more particularly at the level of the outer periphery of the shoulder 12.
Sur la figure 5, on voit un troisième mode de réalisation, dans lequel le premier distributeur 1” présente un premier réservoir 1 1” ayant une capacité bien inférieure au réservoir 21” du second distributeur 2”. Les deux distributeurs 1’ et 1” sont connectés ensemble de manière amovible par l’intermédiaire d’une pièce d’adaptation 28”. Celle-ci comprend une douille supérieure 283 engagée fermement autour de la partie inférieure du second réservoir 21”, une jupe inférieure 284 qui vient en appui sur le premier réservoir 1 1” ou en serrage externe sur la paroi externe du réservoir 1 1”, ainsi qu’une manchette 285 en prise amovible de frottement ou d’encliquetage avec la bague de fixation 141 de l’organe de distribution 14”. Dans ce troisième mode de réalisation, le second distributeur 2” peut présenter une configuration tout à fait classique pour un distributeur de parfum. En revanche, le premier distributeur 1” présente une conception particulière, notamment aplatie. Visuellement, l’utilisateur voit un distributeur 2” tout à fait classique qui est pourvu d’une embase ou socle intégrant le premier distributeur 1”. De prime abord, l’utilisateur peut ne pas percevoir qu’il y a un distributeur à l’intérieur de l’embase ou socle du distributeur 2”. In Figure 5, a third embodiment is seen, in which the first distributor 1 ”has a first reservoir 11” having a much smaller capacity than the reservoir 21 ”of the second distributor 2”. The two distributors 1 'and 1 ”are removably connected together via a 28” adapter piece. This comprises an upper sleeve 283 firmly engaged around the lower part of the second reservoir 21 ”, a lower skirt 284 which bears on the first reservoir 1 1” or in external clamping on the outer wall of the reservoir 1 1 ”, and a sleeve 285 in removable friction or snap engagement with the fixing ring 141 of the 14 ”distribution member. In this third embodiment, the second dispenser 2 ”can have a completely conventional configuration for a perfume dispenser. On the other hand, the first 1 ”distributor has a particular design, notably flattened. Visually, the user sees a quite conventional 2 ”distributor which is provided with a base or pedestal integrating the first 1” distributor. At first glance, the user may not perceive that there is a distributor inside the base or base of the 2 ”distributor.
Les organes de distribution respectifs 14” et 24 peuvent être montés de manière amovible sur leur réservoir respectif 1 1” et 21”, de sorte que le premier réservoir 1 1” peut être rempli avec le produit fluide contenu dans le second réservoir 21”. The respective distribution members 14 ”and 24 can be removably mounted on their respective reservoir 1 1” and 21 ”, so that the first reservoir 1 1” can be filled with the fluid contained in the second reservoir 21 ”.
Sur les figures 6 et 7, on voit un quatrième mode de réalisation particulièrement original. En effet, le second distributeur 2”’ est ici rapporté et maintenu à l’intérieur du premier réservoir 1 1”’ du premier distributeur 1”’. Pour cela, le premier réservoir 1 1”’ forme une niche 12”’ traversante ou borgne, qui est ici de forme circulaire. Toutefois, d’autres formes sont possibles. Le second distributeur 2”’ présente également une configuration circulaire qui est enchâssée de manière amovible à l’intérieur de cette niche 12”’. Le distributeur 2”’ peut par exemple être formé par un réservoir doté d’une tête de distribution 2T”, par exemple sous la forme d’un gicleur, un poussoir 22”’, par exemple sous la forme d’une paroi d’actionnement déformable, et un bouchon de remplissage optionnel 23”’. Une fois enchâssé à l’intérieur de la niche 12”’, le distributeur 2”’ n’est plus utilisable, étant donné que sa tête de distribution 2T” est masquée, et éventuellement obturée, par une paroi interne de la niche 12”’. Il est envisageable de réaliser une niche 12”’ qui n’est pas traversante, de manière à disposer la paroi d’actionnement 22”’ à l’intérieur de la niche, de sorte qu’elle n’est plus accessible une fois que le second distributeur 2”’ est en place dans sa niche 12”’. In Figures 6 and 7, we see a fourth particularly original embodiment. Indeed, the second distributor 2 "" is here reported and maintained inside the first tank 1 1 "" of the first distributor 1 "". For this, the first tank 1 1 "" forms a 12 "through or blind niche, which is here circular. However, other forms are possible. The second 2 "" dispenser also has a circular configuration which is removably encased within this 12 "" niche. The distributor 2 ”'may for example be formed by a reservoir provided with a distribution head 2T”, for example in the form of a nozzle, a pusher 22 ”', for example in the form of a wall of deformable actuation, and an optional 23 ”'filler cap. Once embedded inside the 12 ”'niche, the 2”' distributor can no longer be used, given that its 2T ”distribution head is hidden, and possibly closed, by an internal wall of the 12” niche. '. It is conceivable to make a 12 ”'niche which is not through, so as to have the 22”' actuating wall inside the niche, so that it is no longer accessible once the second 2 ”'distributor is in place in its 12”' niche.
Une ébauche de réservoir peut aussi être pressée de manière à former une paroi commune séparant deux niches opposées, qui peuvent être symétriques ou non. Cela permettrait d’insérer un distributeur 2”’ dans chaque niche 12”’. Les deux niches pourraient aussi communiquant en retirant, par exemple au jet d’eau, la paroi commune. Cette technique peut être utilisée pour réaliser une niche unique traversante. A reservoir blank can also be pressed so as to form a common wall separating two opposite niches, which may or may not be symmetrical. This would allow a 2 ”'distributor to be inserted in each 12”' niche. The two niches could also communicate by removing, for example with a water jet, the common wall. This technique can be used to make a single through niche.
Sur les figures 8a et 8b, on voit une variante de réalisation du premier mode de réalisation des figures 1 à 3. Le premier distributeur 1 peut être sensiblement ou parfaitement identique à celui du premier mode de réalisation. Seul le second distributeur 2ab diffère de celui du premier mode de réalisation. En effet, le second distributeur 2ab comprend une partie basse 2a intégrant le second réservoir 21 et une partie haute 2b intégrant le second organe de distribution 24. Le second réservoir 21 comprend un col fileté 23a et le second organe de distribution 24 comprenant une bague de fixation à visser 241 b qui est en prise avec le col fileté 23a du second réservoir 21 , de sorte que les parties basse 2a et haute 2b peuvent être séparées par dévissage, de manière à avoir accès au second réservoir 21 pour l’extraire de la partie basse 2a. Plus précisément, la partie basse 2a comprend une coque inférieure 27a dans laquelle est engagé une pièce d’insert inférieur 28a qui forme, avec la coque inférieure 27a, un espace 281 pour le second réservoir 21 , ainsi qu’un logement de réception 282 pour le col 13 et la pompe 14 du premier distributeur 1 . La partie haute 2b comprend une coque supérieure 27b dans laquelle est engagé une pièce d’insert inférieur 28b qui guide le poussoir 26 et qui vient en prise avec la bague de fixation à visser 241 b pour l’entrainer en rotation, afin de permettre le dévissage et le vissage sur le col fileté 23a. Dans ce mode de réalisation, les pièces d’insert 28a et 28b peuvent être montées de manière non amovible dans leurs coques respectives 27a et 27b. In Figures 8a and 8b, we see an alternative embodiment of the first embodiment of Figures 1 to 3. The first distributor 1 may be substantially or perfectly identical to that of the first embodiment. Only the second distributor 2ab differs from that of the first embodiment. Indeed, the second distributor 2ab comprises a lower part 2a integrating the second reservoir 21 and an upper part 2b integrating the second distribution member 24. The second reservoir 21 comprises a threaded neck 23a and the second distribution member 24 comprising a ring of screw fixing 241b which engages with the threaded neck 23a of the second reservoir 21, so that the lower 2a and upper 2b parts can be separated by unscrewing, so as to have access to the second reservoir 21 to extract it from the lower part 2a. More precisely, the lower part 2a comprises a lower shell 27a in which is engaged a lower insert part 28a which forms, with the lower shell 27a, a space 281 for the second reservoir 21, as well as a receiving housing 282 for the neck 13 and the pump 14 of the first distributor 1. The upper part 2b comprises an upper shell 27b in which is engaged a lower insert part 28b which guides the pusher 26 and which engages with the screw-on fixing ring 241b to drive it in rotation, in order to allow the unscrewing and screwing on the threaded neck 23a. In this embodiment, the insert pieces 28a and 28b can be non-removable mounted in their respective shells 27a and 27b.
Sur la figure 9, on voit un autre mode de réalisation pour un second distributeur 2c, qui se distingue des autres par un second réservoir 21 c pourvu d’une ouverture de remplissage 29c qui est obturée par un bouchon 289. Avantageusement, ce bouchon 289 est formé par une pièce d’insert 28c, qui est montée de manière amovible dans la coque 27c. In FIG. 9, we see another embodiment for a second distributor 2c, which differs from the others by a second reservoir 21c provided with a filling opening 29c which is closed by a plug 289. Advantageously, this plug 289 is formed by an insert piece 28c, which is removably mounted in the shell 27c.
Dans tous les modes de réalisation décrits, un distributeur de produit fluide est monté de manière amovible sur un autre distributeur de produit fluide de manière à en interdire son actionnement ou l’actionnement de l’autre distributeur. On définit ainsi un ensemble de distribution particulier qui n’est ni un distributeur duo, ni vraiment un distributeur source/nomade, mais plutôt un distributeur « gigogne » dans les modes de réalisation des figures 1 à 5 et 8a, 8b et 9, ou encore « kangourou » dans le dernier mode de réalisation des figures 6 et 7. In all the embodiments described, a fluid dispenser is removably mounted on another fluid dispenser so as to prevent its actuation or the actuation of the other dispenser. We thus define a particular distribution set which is neither a duo distributor, nor really a source / nomadic distributor, but rather a "nest" distributor in the embodiments of Figures 1 to 5 and 8a, 8b and 9, or even a "kangaroo" in the last embodiment of Figures 6 and 7.
