Description

Refill Actuator of Hand-operated Spray Pump

The present invention relates to an actuator for refilling a manual spray pump which can be used to replace liquid cosmetics such as perfume and the like in a small container by exchanging and installing the actuator of a conventional manual spray pump.

In general, a manual spray pump refers to a manual extrusion pump for spraying a low viscosity liquid material in the form of a spray. Such a manual spray pump can be easily sprayed a certain amount of contents simply by compressing the actuator, so it is convenient to use, and is used in a spray container of a small amount of contents such as cosmetics.

In addition, liquid cosmetics such as perfumes and lotions are commonly stored and stored or used in specific containers in everyday life. However, if you have to leave the residence for a certain period of time, such as business trips or travel, there is an inconvenience inevitably take the container itself. In particular, since women make up part of their daily lives, they tend to carry cosmetics necessary for work or going out. Therefore, when carrying the original packaging container itself, there is a problem that the volume to be carried is unnecessarily large compared to the amount of cosmetics actually used.

Cosmetic manufacturers, on the other hand, tend to supply consumers with samples that are significantly smaller than their actual size to promote or promote their products. Such samples are extremely limited in number of uses due to their small size but are small in volume and may therefore be suitable for use for such purposes. Therefore, women often carry the sample itself rather than the original product or carry the desired cosmetics in the container of the sample carry it.

By the way, if you use a small amount of the required amount in a container it is necessary to move the process. The method of directly pouring the contents of an existing large container into a small container may be considered first, but since the contents must be transferred through the smaller dose port of the small container, there is not a small amount of loss to the outside during the squeezing process. The intended purpose cannot be achieved. Alternatively, a method of transferring the contents of a large container to a certain tool and putting them back in a small container may be considered. Such a tool is meant to have a structure that is convenient to carry the contents of a large container and to put it in a small container, but there are currently no tools specifically designed to be used for this purpose. In particular, a small container manufactured for the purpose of use in travel, etc. is inevitably small in volume and the inlet / outlet of the contents must be small, so it is not easy to carry out such a transfer operation.

Moreover, in the case of the container in which the head part of the spray pump is completely crimped to the container, it is almost impossible to separate the head part from the container in an unbroken state, and thus there is a problem in that the extraction of the contents is very difficult.

Accordingly, the present invention aims to solve these problems of the prior art and technical problems that have been requested from the past.

In other words, the object of the present invention is to replace the actuator of the conventional manual spray pump after assembly to perform the operation of moving the contents to a small container and then to remove it and to provide a refill actuator that can be fastened to the original button portion again.

In order to achieve this purpose, the actuator for refilling the manual spray pump of the present invention,

(A) The coupling member to which the upper end of the pump piston is fastened is located on the upper surface of the inside, and the insertion hole into which the following ejection tube is inserted / fastened is located on the side of the coupling member, and the contents are ejected into the coupling member and the insertion hole. It consists of a cap button (cap button) in which the flow path exists and (B) a tube fastened to the insertion hole.

In general, the manual spray pump, as shown in Figure 1, the actuator (10a), the injection nozzle 20, the piston 30, the poppet 40, the housing 50, the seal valve 60, the spring ( 70, a cover 80, a tube 90, a liner 100, and a cap 110, and a coupling member 11 attached to an inner upper surface of the actuator 10 includes an upper end of the piston 30. By engaging with 31 the actuator 10a is coupled to the rest of the pump. Unless a manual spray pump is subjected to a special structural change, a normal manual spray pump can be easily separated from the piston 30 by the actuator 10a.

Therefore, in the general spray pump, the upper portion of the piston 30 is exposed when the actuator 10a is removed. When the refill actuator of the present invention is inserted in the upper portion of the exposed piston 30, the assembly of the device for refilling is completed therewith. After the refilling operation is completed, the refill actuator of the present invention is separated from the body of the spray pump, and instead, the existing actuator is assembled to the piston 30 of the spray pump and used.

Referring to the refill actuator of the present invention in more detail based on the drawings as follows.

2 illustrates a vertical cross-sectional shape in which a refill actuator is assembled to a main body of a spray pump, and FIG. 3 illustrates a vertical cross-sectional shape of an actuator 10a separated from a main body of an existing spray pump. A coupling member 11a is installed on the inner top surface of the actuator 10a and a spray nozzle 20 is fastened to a side surface thereof.

4A shows a vertical cross-sectional shape of the cap button 10 of the present invention refill actuator, FIG. 4B shows a plan view of 4A, and FIG. 4C shows a bottom view of 4A. 4D shows an enlarged view of 'A' of the insertion hole of the cap button of FIG. 4A into which the ejection tube (not shown) is inserted.

The coupling member 11 of the cap button 10 of the refill actuator is composed of a coupling member lower portion 12 to which the upper end of the piston is fastened and an insertion hole 13 into which the ejection tube 91 is inserted / coupled. Vertical flow passages penetrate inside the 12 and the side portions 13. Therefore, the contents introduced into the internal flow passage of the piston are moved to the insertion hole 13 through the coupling member lower portion 12.

Preferably, a piston end latch 14, which determines the tightening height when the piston upper end is engaged, is provided on one upper end surface of the inside of the actuator on the coupling member internal flow passage. The piston end latch 14 is to prevent the phenomenon that the upper end of the piston 30 is in close contact with the inner upper surface of the cap button 10 to prevent the contents from leaking. That is, while a portion of the upper end of the piston is in contact with the upper surface of the cap button 10, the remaining portion is separated from the upper surface so that the contents may be ejected into such spaced gaps.

Preferably, the ejection tube 91 is inserted into the insertion hole 13 by making the fine projection 16 at an arbitrary position on the horizontal flow path 15 of the insertion hole 13 into which the injection tube 91 is inserted. Do not remove easily from the condition. In addition, in order to limit the length into which the ejection tube 91 is inserted, a tube end catching member 17 is provided at the inner end surface of the horizontal flow passage, thereby preventing the ejection tube 91 from being excessively inserted. FIG. 4E shows a front view of the horizontal flow passage 15 in which the tube end latch 17 is provided at the inner end surface.

The ejection tube 91 has a simple cylindrical shape with an empty inside, as shown in FIG. In the existing actuator, the injection nozzle is located at the end where the contents are ejected, and the contents to be ejected are sprayed in the form of fine powder, but the refill actuator of the present invention serves to transfer the contents contained in the container to another container in a liquid form. It just needs to be delivered as is.

Hereinafter, the operation principle of assembling and ejecting the contents contained in the container to the spray pump refill actuator of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

The container containing the liquid (not shown in the figure) is fastened to the spray pump through the cover 80, and the liquid in the container is blocked from the outside by the liar 100. The liquid enters the pump through a tube 90 touching the bottom of the vessel and is pumped out through the seal valve 60, the cylinder space 120, the intersection 31 and the spray nozzle 20 by pumping. do. In some cases, in order to prevent the container from being separated from the spray pump, the hot 80 is crimped at the fastening portion of the container, so that the hot 80 is destroyed only so as to be separated from the container.

In the conventional manual spray pump, since the liquid introduced into the pump is sealed by the cap 110, it does not flow out to a place other than the nozzle 20. Pumping is initiated by applying downward pressure on the actuator 10 and gaining restoring force by the spring 70. The liquid trapped in the cylinder space 120 is injected through the nozzle during the downward movement, the liquid of the container is introduced into the cylinder space 120 through the tube during the upward movement.

The seal valve 60 is fitted to the lower end of the poppet 40 and reciprocates a limited distance while contacting the inner surface of the housing. When a downward force is applied to the cap button 10, the downward force is sequentially transmitted to the piston 30, the poppet 40, and the spring 70 to compress the spring 70, and the downward motion of the poppet 40. At the bottom of the poppet 40, a slightly larger diameter portion (not shown) is engaged with the catch of the seal valve to induce downward movement of the seal valve 60. FIG. Although the seal valve 60 no longer moves downward, the poppet 40 continues to move downward until the bottom portion of the piston 30 comes into contact with the upper protrusion of the seal valve 60. In this case the liquid in the upper cylinder space is compressed. The compressed liquid overcomes the pressure of the spring 70, opens the intersection where the piston 30 and the poppet 40 contact each other, and is ejected through the cap button 10 and the ejection tube 91.

When the downward force is removed from the cap button 10 of the refill actuator, the seal valve 60 moves upward by the restoring force of the spring 70, but when the seal valve 60 comes into contact with the protrusion of the housing, the seal valve 60 no longer moves upward. In order to compensate for the lowered pressure of the upper cylinder space as a result of no movement and the continuous upward movement of the piston 30, the liquid in the lower cylinder space is introduced through the space of the seal valve 50. In the upward movement of the piston 30 and the poppet 40, the intersection is in close contact to prevent the flow of liquid and the pressure drop in the upper cylinder space occurs.

In the above, the contents of the present invention have been described in more detail with reference to the drawings, but the contents of the present invention should not be construed to be limited to the contents disclosed in the drawings.

The refill actuator of the present invention can be used to easily transfer the contents of a container equipped with a manual spray pump to a small container, and the main body of the pump is crimped to the container so that the pump can be removed without destroying the cover. It is especially useful for spray pumps. Such a refill actuator can be simply assembled after removing the actuator of the conventional manual spray pump, and can be used by assembling the existing actuator again.
