FR2763320A1 - Dispenser for cards impregnated with liquid e.g. perfume - Google Patents

Abstract

The dispenser, operated by a control mechanism (650) to dispense a card from a stack and impregnate it with a liquid, e.g. a perfume sample or a cream, has a card loader (800) which is made in one piece and is detachable. The loader is in the form of a box or sleeve with an aperture of greater dimensions than the surface of each card and has inward projections round its edge to retain the cards prior to dispensing. The cards are dispensed one at a time by a rake which grips the edge of the bottom card in a stack and slides it out when operated by a wire (410). The rake is then returned to its initial position by a spring, while the dispensed card is impregnated with liquid from a container (700) with push button (730) operation, connected to a spray nozzle (745.

Description

 The present invention relates to a dispenser of cards loaded with liquid.

 More specifically, the present invention relates to a device which, when requested by a user, deposits a dose of liquid on a card and presents this card to the user.

 Such a distributor finds a particularly useful application in perfumeries or hypermarkets, where it is advantageously made available to customers.

 The liquid is then a perfume or a cream and the cards are advertising media bearing the mark of the perfume or the cream with which they are loaded.

 Such a distributor has been proposed in patent application FR-97 00171.

 The request device FR-97 00171 comprises - a fluid reservoir provided with a metering pump connected by a flexible tube to a zone situated above the upper card of a stack of cards - a control lever capable of actuate the dosing pump on the one hand, and on the other hand a hooking rake for the upper card, the rake being slidably mounted on retaining rails; and - a spring which holds the card loader in abutment against an upper support element of the housing.

 Such a device has drawbacks.

 To reload the device with cards, it is necessary to insert a stack of cards, previously stripped of all packaging, into the case.

 This unpacking is rather tedious, fingerprints can be left on the cards and in addition, a stack of considerable height is relatively difficult to handle when it is unpacked.

 As the batteries are often packed in batches corresponding to the maximum capacity of the dispenser, reloading a non-empty dispenser requires devaluing the quantity of cards remaining and removing an equivalent quantity from the stack to be inserted.

 The mechanism proposed in patent application FR97 00171 also has numerous sources of friction, and does not ensure reliable abutment of the stack of cards. More precisely, the abutment of the stack of cards is not carried out with constant force, depending on whether the device contains an entire stack or a few cards. The card to be extracted is therefore not subjected to the same friction force during extraction, when it is at the top of the stack or at the end of the stack. This makes the process of hooking the upper card difficult to control and therefore unreliable.

 A first object of the invention is to propose a device which extracts a card from a battery and loads it with liquid on each actuation of a control, which is rechargeable in a simple and rapid manner, and where the risk of soiling the cards is deleted.

 Another object of the invention is to provide a device having a mechanism for extracting a card from the stack which has particularly low friction.

 Another object of the invention is to provide a device in which the abutment of the stack of cards is guaranteed for any quantity of cards contained in the device, and with an abutment force greater than a minimum value.

 These various aims are achieved according to the present invention by means of a card dispensing device capable, on each actuation of a command, of extracting a card from a stack of cards and of charging it with cash, characterized in that it includes a one-piece and removable card loader.

According to advantageous provisions of the invention, the device can also have one or more of the following characteristics - the monobloc charger forms a box provided with a hooking opening revealing an edge and a non-zero part of a face of a card - the hooking opening is of dimensions larger than the surface of a card and the charger is provided, on the edges of the opening, with extensions directed towards the inside of the charger, capable of retaining the cards in the feeder - the feeder has an envelope forming a sleeve, one end of which forms the hooking opening - the device has a hooking rake capable of driving an end card of the stack by pressing a edge of this card against part of the hooking rake and the hooking rake is capable of being driven to slide by at least one drive wire - the hooking rake is able to be pulled back in a e rest position by a return wire connected to a return spring - the wires are fixed to the hooking rake at points offset from each other perpendicular to the plane of the cards, so that the tension of the drive wire generates a torque on the rake able to maintain it during an extraction of a card from the stack of cards pressing against an edge of the card - the device comprises sliding rails which, in magazine mounting position, have a flank inside the magazine, through the hooking opening, so that the stack of cards rests against the sliding rails - the device has at least one surface adjacent to an edge front of a card to be extracted, oblique to the plane of the card, capable of sliding the front edge of the card and of guiding it towards a slot for the passage of the card - the device comprises a removable sponge fixed under a li outlet what
- The device is adapted to receive the charger in a position where the attachment opening is on its underside, and a mass is disposed on the upper end of the stack of cards.

the device comprises a bottle of liquid provided with a press button, a pressure finger pivoting about a fixed axis, the finger extending radially from this fixed axis, and a pivoting wall forming a lever capable of transmit a pressure on the press button when the pivoting wall is actuated by the pressure finger - the device comprises an actuating lever secured to said pressure finger and said drive wire is fixed to said actuating lever.

the device comprises a lever that can be tilted between on the one hand a front position where a front branch of the lever is flush with a location where a card is positioned after it has been completely driven by the rake and before being entered by a user, and where a rear branch is positioned across the path of the rake and behind an extreme end position thereof, and between on the other hand a rear position where the front branch is across the exit path of a map, and where the rear branch is deleted in relation to the path of the rake.

- Said tiltable lever is returned to said rear position under the effect of its weight.

- the hooking rake is mounted at an oblique sliding angle relative to a card to be extracted on a rake support which is movable in translation parallel to this card so that the rake approaches the stack of cards when it is slid towards a front direction of output of the cards relative to the rake support, and the drive wire is capable of producing a thrust forward directly on the rake.

 The invention provides a device whose actuation mechanism of a metering pump is particularly inexpensive to produce and in which the cards are extracted with improved efficiency.

 In the following description, mechanical provisions relating to the extraction of cards will be considered independently of other provisions relating to the ejection of liquid onto a card.

 There is shown in Figures 1 to 11, a device according to the invention.

 In what follows, the front of the device is defined as being the part of it which is adjacent to a privileged position of a user of the device, and the rear of the device will be the part which is opposite to the privileged position of the user.

 The device includes a holding structure 100, which has a horizontal plate 110 at the bottom.

 The plate 110 comprises a rectangular central body 112 extending from the front to the rear, provided, at each of its corners, with extensions situated in its plane and each carrying a foot 115.

 As can be seen in FIG. 10, the plate 110 comprises a central and longitudinal slide 117, which extends over most of the length of the plate 110. The slide 117 is a recess passing through the plate 110 through its thickness .

 As shown in FIG. 10, two walls 120 and 130 extend vertically from each of the two long edges of the plate 110, and over the entire length of each of these long edges. The walls 120 and 130 form, vertically above the corners of the plate 110, a vertical edge by folding along each time a vertical axis passing through the corner considered, towards the inside of the plate 110. For an observer placed above of the overall arrangement, the walls 120 and 130 thus form a rectangle of which a central part of each of the two short sides is missing.

 The vertical walls 120 and 130 are held together and on the plate 110 by a system of screwed plates known per se.

 The upper face of the plate 110 thus forms the bottom of a box, two vertical sides of which are the walls 120 and 130.

 On this upper face of the plate 110, on either side of the slide 117, there are two sliding rails 150 and 160 which extend in the longitudinal direction of the plate 110.

 The rails 150 and 160 each consist of a parallelepiped of length substantially equal to that of the bottom of the box mentioned above.

 These two rails 150 and 160 are offset laterally from the through groove 117, so that they leave both a spacing between them which is of the order of twice the width of the central slide 117, and that they are close enough to each other to be contained in the box delimited by the walls 120 and 130.

 The box formed by the walls 120 and 130 and the tray 110 receives at its upper end a card loader 800 of parallelepiped shape elongated in the vertical direction. The feeder 800 is a box which contains a stack 900 of cards arranged horizontally, and which have external dimensions substantially equal to those of the horizontal outline of the feeder 800. The horizontal outline of the feeder 800 is itself complementary to the internal horizontal dimensions of the box formed by the walls 120 and 130.

 The card loader 800 will be described below, with particular reference to FIG. 11.

The 800 charger has two main components:
- a skirt 820 consisting of four faces intended to laterally wrap the stack of cards 900 in a vertical position
a box-drawer 840 for receiving cards, of generally parallelepiped shape and of dimensions similar to those of the skirt 820.

 More specifically, the skirt 820 is formed by four walls forming an elongated nozzle, of rectangular cross section, similar to the outline of the cards to be dealt. The cards here being of dimensions equal to those of credit cards or conventional business cards, the skirt 820 therefore has two opposite walls having an area substantially equal to twice the area of the other two walls.

 A first opening 822 of the skirt is an opening for receiving the drawer-box 840, the second opening 824 being the card outlet opening, intended to be directed downwards when the feeder 800 is mounted within the device according to the 'invention.

The opening 824 carries, on its long edges, two uprights 825 and 826 each formed by an elongated plate folded along a central longitudinal axis, so as to form two longitudinal leaves perpendicular to each other.

 Each of these two uprights 825 and 826 is glued by the internal face of one of its leaves to the external face of a very long border of the opening 824, so that the additional leaf, not glued, s extends inwardly of the opening 824 perpendicular to the direction in which the skirt extends, and this over the whole of each long edge of the skirt 820.

 The skirt 820 carries a grip handle 827, the ends of which are glued in the central part of the short edges of the opening 822.

 The drawer-box 840 forms a parallelepiped of dimensions similar to those of the skirt 820. This parallelepiped has a bottom wall 842 of dimensions similar to those of each of the two walls of maximum surface area of the skirt 820.

 Three of the four edges of the bottom wall 842 are extended perpendicular to this wall by side walls 843, 844 and 846 of the drawer unit 840. The side walls 843 and 846 extending the long edges of the plate 842 are of dimensions similar to the walls of minimum surface area of the skirt 820, and the wall 844, extending the short edge of the plate 842, is of dimensions similar to those of the openings 822 and 824 of the skirt 820.

 More precisely, the dimensions of the different walls forming the drawer box 840, measured perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the plate 842, are slightly smaller than the corresponding dimensions of the walls forming the skirt 820, so that the drawer box 840 can be inserted in a complementary manner in the skirt 820, by sliding through the opening 822 thereof.

 The drawer-box 840 further comprises a removable plate 847, of dimensions similar to those of the plates with the maximum surface area of the skirt 820. This removable plate 847 comes into closure of the drawer-box 840, on the face opposite to that constituted by the plate 842. The drawer-box then constitutes a parallelepipedal box of which a wall is missing on a face of minimum dimension 848, this face thus constituting an opening 848 for passage of the cards.

 The card filling of the feeder is carried out as follows.

 The box-drawer receives a stack of cards 900, each card having dimensions complementary to its internal transverse dimensions.

 More precisely, the stack of cards 900 is placed in the drawer-box 840 so that the stacking direction is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the plate 842, the cards thus being placed parallel to the wall 844.

 In a variant of the invention, the cards can have any type of shape, provided that they can be contained in the orientation previously described in the drawer-box 840. The drawer-box 840 is then closed via of the removable plate 847, and slid into the skirt 820 through the opening 822 thereof.

 In this arrangement, the charger 800 can be put in vertical position by lifting the charger by the handle 827. The stack of cards then slides in the drawer-box until it comes to bear against the leaves of the uprights 825 and 826 which s 'extend towards the inside of the skirt 820.

 The charger can then be easily slid between the side walls 120 and 130 of the holding structure 100.

 In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the stack of cards is provided, on the upper face of the upper card, with a mass capable of pushing the stack down when the charger is in the vertical position.

 Preferably, a feeder 800 is provided comprising a retaining strip 828 for the cards arranged across the opening 824 and glued by its ends to the external faces of two opposite walls of the skirt 820. This strip is intended to be peeled off before introduction of the charger 800 in the device.

 As can be seen in FIG. 7, the rails 150 and 160 have a thickness el which is greater than the thickness of the plates constituting the uprights 825 and 826.

 It is therefore understood that in the engaged position of the charger 800 in the box formed by the walls 120 and 130, the upper face of the rails 150 and 160 protrudes inside the charger 800 through the opening 824, and the stack of cards. 900 rests on rails 150 and 160.

 The uprights 825 and 826 rest on the plate 110, offset downward relative to the lower card 910.

 Thanks to the additional mass, the stack 900 comes to bear against the rails 150 and 160 with a bearing force greater than the weight of the additional mass, during the emptying of the charger 800.

 As can be seen in FIG. 11, the constituent walls of the skirt 820 as well as of the drawer-box 840 which are intended to be arranged parallel to the walls 120 and 130 when the charger 800 is engaged in the device, have a longer length. large than the other vertical walls of these two elements, so that they protrude at the bottom of the charger 800 by a length greater than the thickness e1 of the rails.

 The plate 110 receives, in the through slide 117, a rake 300. The rake 300 consists of a rectangular plate 320 which carries, in the center of its lower face, a pin 330 of width substantially equal to that of the slide 117.

 As shown in FIGS. 7 and 10, the plate 320 forms a square of width complementary to the spacing between the rails 150 and 160, and of thickness equal to the thickness of the rails 150 and 160.

 The rake 300 is placed in the device in such a way that the pin 330 crosses the through slide 117 and such that the plate 320 is housed between the slides 150 and 160, bearing on the upper face of the plate 110.

 The pin 330 has a height significantly greater than the thickness of the plate 110, so that it clearly protrudes from the underside thereof.

 On the upper face of the plate 320 is fixed a rectangular hooking plate 325, of length equal to the width of the plate 320, and of width clearly less than the width of the plate 320. It is fixed on the plate 320 so as to s 'extend perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the slide 117.

 It is therefore understood that the rake 300 is able to slide in the longitudinal direction of the plate 110, the pin 330 sliding in the through slide 117 and the plate 320 between the two rails 150 and 160.

 The rake 300 is driven in this movement by a wiring system referenced 400 generally.

 The wiring system 400 comprises a thin cable 410 fixed at a first end 415 to one end of a helical tension spring 420. The spring 420 is hooked at its other end to a fixed lug 165 belonging to the holding assembly 100 .

 The thin cable 410 is, at its second end, linked to a rear end 675 of a control lever 650.

 Between these two ends, the thin cable 410 is deflected in several places by pulleys referenced 610, 620, and 630. The relative positions of the control lever 650, of the spring 420, of the pulleys 610, 620 and 630 and the length of the cable. 410 are such that the thin cable 410 is always stretched by the action of the spring 420.

 The control lever 650 has the effect, when it is actuated by a user, of pulling the end of the cable fixed at its end 675, and then sliding the cable 410 along its initial path.

 It will be understood that the actuation of the control lever 650 thereby generates the elongation of the spring 420 intermediate between the other end 415 of the cable 410 and the fixed lug 165.

The route followed by the cable 410 has a straight section 430 located between the two pulleys 620 and 630, which runs along the through slide 117 over the entire length thereof.
More precisely, the section 430 is located in a vertical, median and longitudinal plane P, of the groove 117.

 I1 is offset downward relative to the plane of the plate 110, by a distance approximately equal to two thirds of the height of the pin 330 of the rake 300.

 As shown in FIG. 6, the cable 410 crosses the pin 330 by a rectilinear channel 335 produced in the latter.

 More specifically, the offset of the section 430 of the cable 410 relative to the plate 110 is such that in a rectilinear arrangement of the cable 410 between the pulleys 620 and 630, the plate 320 rests on the upper face of the plate 110 at the edges of the through groove 117.

 The cable 410 is, at the level of the rectilinear channel 335, fixed to the pin 330 so that the sliding of the cable 410 drives the rake 300 in translation in the through groove 117. Such a fixing is obtained by two nodes made on the cable 410 at two ends of channel 335, these two nodes each having a width greater than the width of channel 335.

 The positioning of the pin 330 on the cable 410 is such that in the return position of the cable 410 and of the control lever 650 under the effect of the spring 420, the rake 300 is located at the rear end of the through slide 117.

 Preferably, it is also ensured that a complete stroke of the control lever 650 corresponds to a translation of the rake 300 to a point close to the front end of the through slide 117.

 It is therefore understood that an actuation of the control lever 650 causes a translation of the rake 300 over the entire length of the groove 117, that is to say over a length close to that of a card to be expelled.

 There is shown in Figure 6, a rake 300 according to a preferred embodiment of the invention.

 In FIG. 6, the rake is in its position in abutment against the rear end of the slide 117, slightly moved back relative to the rear edge of the lower card 910 of the stack 900 which rests on the rails 150 and 160.

 The attachment plate 325 previously mentioned is advantageously disposed along the rear edge of the plate 320. As can be seen in FIG. 6, the relative positions of the rear end of the slide 117, of the pin 330, of the plate 320 and the hooking plate 325 are such that the card 910 rests both on the rails 150, 160 and on a part of the upper face of the plate 320, which is at the front of the hooking plate 325 .

 More specifically, the front edge of the attachment plate 325 is in contact with the rear edge 912 of the card 910. The attachment plate 325 therefore comes in extension of the card 910 towards the rear of the latter.

 The drive in translation of the rake 300 forwards, in the direction indicated by the arrow referenced A in FIG. 6, first causes the front edge of the plate 325 to bear against the rear edge 912 of the card lower 910. The card 910 is then driven along the rails 150 and 160, held against them and against the plate 320 under the weight of the stack 900 and the additional mass previously described and not shown.

 The card 910 is driven towards an output 1000 of the device arranged in the front part thereof and by which the card thus driven is presented to the user.

 The output 1000 of the device is a slot made in a housing 2000 partially shown in Figure 2, which surrounds the entire device.

 According to an alternative embodiment shown in FIG. 12, the channel 335 can, in the vertical plane P, plunge down in the direction starting from the front and going towards the rear of the rake 300, the plate 320 being in position horizontal.

 The front part of the section 430 is then fixed to the pin 330 at a point higher than a point on the pin 330 where the rear part of this same section 430 is fixed on the pin 330. Thus, the tensioning of the cable 410 generates a torque tending to tilt the upper part of the rake 300 towards the front of the device, indicated by the arrow A, that is to say to rotate the rake 300 clockwise in FIG. 12. This rotation being prevented by the stack of cards 900 which rests on the plate 320, this torque has the effect of preventing any sliding of the rear edge 912 of the card 910 relative to the plate latching 325. This torque prevents the card 910 from sliding over the plate 325 without being driven.

 The plate 320 may be covered, on its upper face, with a film of adherent material of the rubber type, so as to further accentuate the effectiveness of attachment of the rake 300.

 According to a variant of the invention not shown, the cable 410 may consist of two separate cables, one making the journey between the pin 330 and the spring 420, the other cable making the path between the pin 330 and the lever 650. These two cables will be fixed to the pin 330 at points corresponding to the ends of the channel 335 previously described.

 As a variant, the cable 410 can be replaced by any type of wire of suitable resistance.

 There is shown in Figures 13 and 14 a fastening assembly according to a variant of the invention. This assembly comprises two main elements: a movable rake support 323 and an erasable rake 322.

 The mobile support 323 is of generally parallelepiped shape. The mobile support 323 has lateral grooves capable of receiving the edges of the slide 117 in a complementary manner, so that the support 323 is mounted to slide freely in the slide 117.

 The support 323 has a recess 328 open on an upper face of the support 323. The recess 328 has two internal lateral faces, vertical and extending parallel to the slide 117.

 Between these two lateral faces, the recess 328 has two faces perpendicular to the lateral faces.

One of these faces, located in the rear part of the support 323, is a vertical face. The other of these faces is a sloping face, which connects a front edge of the upper opening of the support 323 formed by the recess 328, to the lower extremal edge of the rear vertical face.

 Thus, this sloping interior face is substantially flat and descending from the front of the support 323 towards the rear of the latter.

 The support 323 is crossed from front to back by a longitudinal channel 329 which crosses the sloping interior surface as well as the rear vertical face of the recess 328.

 In the recess 328 is arranged a hooking rake 322 whose upper part is similar to that of the rakes previously described.

 The rake 322 has an oblique lower face, with a slope identical to that of the sloping surface of the recess 328. This lower face has a smaller area than the sloping surface of the support 323, so that the rake 322 is suitable to slide on the sloping surface of the support 323 between a position before the top down relative to the bottom card 910.

 In the retracted position, the rake 322 cooperates by a vertical rear face with the internal and vertical rear face of the recess 328.

 The rake 322 has a longitudinal passage 321 of oblong cross section extended vertically. The passage 321 opens onto the sloping interior surface of the rake 322 so that it forms an oblong opening thereon, this oblong opening extending, in any position of the rake 322, the longitudinal channel 329 formed in the support 323.

 The rectilinear portion 430 of the cable 410, previously described, crosses the support 323 and the rake 322 through the channel 329 and the passage 321. The cable 410 forms a widening 411 of width greater than the transverse width of the oblong cross section of the passage 321.

 The widening 411 is located in a space formed between the rear face of the rake 322 and the rear vertical internal face of the support 323.

 Thus, when the cable 410 is slidably driven, the widening 411 bears against the edges of an oblong opening formed on the rear face of the rake 323 by the passage 321, and the cable then causes the rake 322 to slide against the sloping internal face of the recess 328.

 The rake 322 is driven towards the top of the device, until it comes to bear against the stack of cards 900.

 Once pressed against the stack 900, the rake 322 transmits the thrust, which is applied to it by the enlargement 411, to the mobile support 323, and the support 323 / rake 322 assembly is then driven in forward translation of the device. A hooking plate 325 identical to that of the rake previously described then comes to bear against the edge of the card 910 and the latter is itself driven in translation.

 When the actuation lever is released, the part of the cable 410 carrying the enlargement 411 slides backwards, the rake 322 is erased downward in the recess 328, and the enlargement 411 drives the support 323 towards the rear coming to bear against the rear vertical internal surface thereof.

 This arrangement therefore makes it possible to avoid any friction of the rake 322 on the lower card 910 of the stack 900 during the return movement of the latter, and to generate an effective pressing of the latter against the stack at the time of the drive forward of a lower card 910.

 A transverse plate 125 connects the front and lower ends of the walls 120 and 130. This plate 125 is arranged vertically, and transversely to the direction of sliding of the card 910. It therefore extends over a transverse distance greater than or equal to the width from card 910.

 The plate 125 is folded inwards at the bottom, along a horizontal fold line. This fold line divides the plate 125 into a main vertical part 126 and a lower edge 127 folded inwards of the box formed by the walls 120 and 130.

 The rim 127 is folded so as to form with the main part of the plate 125 an angle ç less than 900. More specifically, the rim 127 preferably has an inclination relative to the horizontal which is close to 10.

 The device also comprises, under the plate 125, an end slide 165 consisting of a parallelepiped disposed on the plate 110 transversely to the rails 150 and 160, and of the same thickness as the latter. The vertical distance of the plate 125 relative to the plate 110 is such that the tip of the angle w formed between the vertical main part 126 and the flange 127 is at a vertical distance from the upper face of the end slide 165 which is equal to the thickness of a card. The flange 127 of the plate 125 and the end slide 165 thus form a funnel for receiving and guiding the card 910 towards the output 1000 of the device.

 More specifically, the rim 127 forms a sliding surface of the front edge of the card 910 in guiding towards a slot formed between the lower edge of the vertical main part 126 and the end slide 165.

 The inventors have noticed that the guide of the card produced by the rim 127 of the plate 125 makes it possible to eliminate any card jams by abutment of the front edge of the cards against an edge of the output slot 1000.

 The inventors have also noticed that when the plate 125 is placed in an inverted position where the flange 127 extends, in the lower position, towards the front of the device, it produces the same funneling effect at the level of the fold line between the rim 127 and the main part 126. More precisely, the fold line forms a local curvature of the plate 125 towards the front of the device, which is sufficient to produce the same funneling effect as that previously described.

 It is also possible to provide, between the front vertical face of the charger 800 and the outlet slot 1000, a vertical wall 970, as shown in FIG. 2, made of plastic, and which comprises a horizontal slot 973, this slot being located in a plane defined by the position of the lower card 910 on the rails 150 or 160. This slot will advantageously have at least one beveled edge so as to have a progressively increasing opening in the direction of approach of the stack of cards.

 This slot 973 will for example have two longitudinal edges which, as shown in FIG. 2, each have a bevelled transverse profile, so that the width of the slot 973 is, on the rear face of the wall 970, at least twice as great to the width of the slot 973 measured on the front face of the wall 970.

 The beveled edges of the slot 973 therefore each constitute an oblique sliding surface for the front edge of the card 910.

 FIG. 15 shows a front and bottom part of the device situated behind the front face of the case 2000 and in the vicinity of a front edge of the plate 110.

 In FIG. 15, a hooking assembly 340 formed by a rake 322 and a movable rake support 323 is brought into abutment in its most forward position in the slide 117 of the plate 110.

 Under the attachment assembly 340 is disposed an axis 450 extending transversely to the longitudinal direction of the slide 117. The axis 450 is fixed to the holding structure 100 of the device by means not shown.

 On the axis 450, a locking lever 460 of generally V-shaped shape is mounted for free rotation.

 More precisely, the V formed by the lever 460 extends in a vertical plane parallel to the slide 117, and the lever is crossed transversely by the axis 450 at the point of the V.

 The rear branch 462 of the V is heavier than the front branch 464, so that when the lever 460 is not biased by any element other than the axis 450, the lever 460 swings back to a position where the branch before 464 comes into abutment against the front edge of the plate 110. This position is shown in FIG. 15 in dotted lines.

 The front branch 464 is long enough so that in this position, it crosses an area occupied by the card 910 during its translation from its lower position in the stack 900 to a position where it protrudes from the housing 2000.

 In the situation shown in solid lines in FIG. 15, the card 910 is brought into an extreme position towards the front where it protrudes from the housing 2000, ready to be completely removed from the housing 2000 by direct gripping of the user.

 In this position, the end of the front branch 464 of the lever 460 is in abutment against the underside of the card 910, under the effect of the weight of the rear branch 462.

 The lever 460 is therefore tilted forward under the action of the card 910 on its front branch 464.

 In this situation, the rear branch 462 of the lever 460 extends until it comes to come behind a rear lower edge of the movable support 323 of the rake 322, thus preventing the support from going backwards.

 In the tilted back position, the rear branch 462 is on the other hand erased downward relative to the path of the mobile support 323.

 The distance separating the ends of the two arms of the lever 460 is preferably greater than the length of the card 910 increased by the length of the support 323 measured parallel to the slide 117.

 Thus, when a card 910 is extracted from the stack 900, it slides towards the outlet slot 1000 of the housing 2000, engages by its front edge the end of the front branch 464 of the lever 460, so that the lever 460 rocks towards the front and that the end of the rear branch 462 is positioned behind the rear lower edge of the rake support 323.

 The card 910 comes in a position where it protrudes from the housing 2000 through the slot 1000.

 If the control lever 660 is released, the mobile support 323 moves rearward under the action of the spring 420 transmitted by the cable 410, until it comes to bear against the rear branch 462 of the lever 460, held in this position across the passage of the mobile support 323 under the action of the card 910 on the front branch. The rake support 323 is released when the card is carried by the user.

 Thus, the lever 460 makes it impossible to extract a second card from the stack when a first card has been swiped forward by the rake but not extracted by direct gripping, so that another card cannot come to be superimposed to that already slid towards the front of the device, and thereby cause the device to jam by jamming.

 As shown in FIGS. 8 to 10, the side wall 130 receives, on its external face, a perfume bottle 700 fixed to the latter in a vertical position by means of an elastic flexible clamp 147. The bottle 700 is a bottle common type, carrying a spray button 730 on an upper orifice.

 The wall 130 also carries a sliding plate 137 which is free to rotate about an axis 138 fixed to the wall 130 perpendicularly to the latter. This axis is advantageously offset laterally with respect to a vertical main axis of the press button 730.

 More precisely, the position of the axis 138 and the dimensions of the sliding plate 137 are such that the plate 137 rests, by a central part of its lower face, on the top of the press button 730.

 The depressed position of the button 730 corresponds to a horizontal position of the plate 137 and the high position of the press button 730 to an inclination of approximately 100 of the plate 137 relative to the horizontal.

 The wall 130 also carries, on its outer face, a rod 625 forming the axis of rotation of the control lever 650, also arranged perpendicular to the wall 130, at a point which is above the level of the press button 730. .

 The control lever 650 has a hub 690 surrounding the rod 625, and a front branch 660 which extends from the central hub 690 to protrude from the housing 2000, capable of being actuated by the user. I1 also comprises a branch 670 extending rearward from the hub 690, substantially aligned with the front branch 660, and the rear end 675 of which is connected to one end of the cable 410 as previously described.

 The front branch 660 of the control lever 650 protrudes from the housing 2000 by a vertical slot whose ends serve as a stop for this front branch 660, each defining the rest position and the position of maximum actuation of the lever 650.

 The spring 420 exerting a restoring force directed downwards on the rear branch 670, the rest position of the lever 650 corresponds to the high position of the front branch 660 and the position of maximum actuation of the lever 650 to the low position of the front leg 660.

 Between these two positions, the lever 650 describes a rotation of an angle close to 300.

 The hub 690 has, in a cutting plane parallel to the wall 130, a non-circular contour forming a rounded tip 695 which extends radially relative to the rod 625. The orientation of the tip 695 relative to the front branch 660 is such that the tip 695 is directed vertically downwards when the lever 650 is in abutment in the position of maximum actuation.

 More specifically, the tip 695, in the plane of the wall 130, has a V-shaped contour, the branches of which are formed by planes 696 and 697 perpendicular to the wall 130 and having an angle of about 600 between them.

 The hub 690 is symmetrical with respect to a median plane Q passing through the axis of the rod 625 and through the end of the tip 695. Each of the two planes 696 and 697 is located at a distance from the axis of the rod 625 measured perpendicular to each of these planes, which is less than the distance separating the end of the tip 695 and the axis of the rod 625.

 In the return position of the control lever 650, the side 697 of the tip 695 is in a substantially horizontal position.

 The axis of the rod 625 is close enough to the press button 730 of the bottle 700 so that the press button 730 presses, by elastic return upwards, the sliding plate 137 against the lower part of the contour of the hub 690.

 It is therefore understood that in the low position of the arm 660 corresponds an abutment of the sliding plate 137 against the tip 695 of the hub, while in the high position of the arm 660 corresponds an abutment of the sliding plate 137 against side 697 of hub 690.

 The distance measured vertically between the axis of the rod 620 and the lower end of the contour of the hub 690 varies, between the high and low positions of the front branch 660 of the lever 650 by a value equal to the actuation distance of the press button 730.

 It is understood that the rounded tip 695 of the hub 690 can be replaced by any type of finger extending in the same radial direction as the tip 695.

 The actuation of the front branch 660 of the control lever 650 downwards therefore causes the ejection of a dose of perfume contained in the bottle 700.

 An outlet orifice 732 of the press button 730 is extended by an angled channel 740 which extends until it comes into line with a zone for the passage of the card 910 situated on the one hand between the position of the card lower 910 in the stack of cards and, on the other hand, a position for the end of horizontal translation of the lower card 910 where the card projects from the housing 2000 through the slot 1000.

 More specifically, the bent channel 740 ends in a spray nozzle 745 located approximately one centimeter above the path of the card 910, in an area located between the front face of the charger 800 and the front face of the housing 2000, partially shown. in figure 2.

 It is therefore understood that the actuation of the control lever 650 simultaneously causes the horizontal drive of the lower card 910 of the stack of cards 900, and the ejection of perfume in a passage area of this same card 910 on its path to the output of the 2000 housing.

 The median plane Q of the tip 695 presents with the axis of the rear branch 670 of the control lever 650 an angle o which is chosen so that the ejection of the perfume takes place when a central part of the card 910 found under spray mouth 745.

 A removable sponge 760 is advantageously provided under the spray mouth 745. Its role is to absorb the drops of perfume which can escape from the bent channel 740 when the bottle 700 is dismantled, during an operation of replacing the bottle 700 for example.

 Note that if the bottle 700, the channel 740 and the hub 690 are eliminated from the device, a particularly efficient and reliable card dispenser is obtained.

 In the same way, all of the card drive arrangements which have just been described can be more generally adapted to any type of dispenser of substantially flat supports, such as for example sealed envelopes containing creams or soaked towels. perfumed liquid. Such a distributor incorporating these different drive arrangements would produce an efficient and reliable extraction of such supports, from a stack.

 It will also be noted that the entire mechanism can easily be mounted in a symmetrical position relative to the longitudinal main plane P of the plate 110.

 Of course, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above.

 In particular, it is possible to equip such a device with an electric motor or a pneumatic device which drives the arm 650 when the user pushes a button arranged on the front face of the housing 2000.

 This device can be adapted to the distribution of any type of support that can be stored in a stack, such as plastic supports or wooden plates.

 Likewise, the liquid deposited may be any type of fluid such as a cream, a gel or a cosmetic paste.

We can also introduce winning cards or colored cards into a stack of cards warning the end of the magazine.

 It is also possible to use a plate 110 which is not planar, and whose altitude variations make it possible to obtain an improved attachment to the map.
