Definitions
- the invention relates to an aerosol device for dispensing a composition with a relatively high viscosity, in particular a gel or an emulsion, of the type which comprises a container, intended to be used head up, containing the composition and a propellant. gaseous under pressure acting directly on the composition, a dispensing valve being placed on an opening in the upper part of the container, while a dip tube connected to the valve extends to the vicinity of the bottom of the container.
- a dispensing valve being placed on an opening in the upper part of the container, while a dip tube connected to the valve extends to the vicinity of the bottom of the container.
- US-A-3,541,581 shows, in particular in FIG. 5, an aerosol device of this kind, in which no physical separation is provided between the gaseous propellant under pressure and the composition to be dispensed.
- Such an aerosol device is not entirely satisfactory when the viscosity of the composition to be dispensed is relatively high.
- FR-A-2 223 452 underlines the difficulties and the operational problems encountered in such a situation. The viscous composition does not flow regularly into the dip tube and cavitation phenomena with loss of propellant gas through the dispensing valve occur. This results in a significant reduction in the emptying rate (ratio of the maximum quantity of composition distributed by the device to the total mass of this composition introduced into the container).
- FR-A-2 223 452 proposes stable gel compositions with delayed foaming having a relatively low flow threshold, which corresponds to an also relatively low viscosity.
- This solution which eliminates the more viscous compositions which are nevertheless of significant interest, in particular with regard to self-foaming shaving gels, aims to promote the flow of the composition in the dip tube and in the valve to reduce cavitation phenomena.
- the object of the invention is, above all, to provide an aerosol device of the type defined above which makes it possible to improve the flow of the composition by avoiding or at least reducing cavitation phenomena and improving the rate of emptying without having reducing the viscosity of the composition to be dispensed.
- an aerosol device of the kind defined above is characterized in that the composition to be dispensed has a viscosity (measured on a Brookfield DV m viscometer, needle No. 7) situated in the range from 4,000 to 10,000 millipascals. seconds, preferably from 6,000 to 8,000 millipascals.seconds, for a speed of 100 revolutions / minute, and from 30,000 to 150,000 millipascals.seconds, preferably from 50,000 to 120,000 pascals.seconds, for a speed of 2.5 rpm, and that the dip tube consists of a semi-capillary tube whose internal diameter is between 0.7 and 1.5 mm and preferably between 1.3 and 1.5 mm.
- the invention in a surprising and unexpected manner, makes it possible to improve the flow conditions of a viscous product, from the point of view of the regularity of this flow and the reduction or even the elimination of the cavitation phenomena, by providing a reduced passage section, contrary to what one might think.
- Tests carried out with an aerosol device in accordance with this embodiment have made it possible to obtain, in certain cases, an emptying rate of more than 80% during continuous dispensing and in all cases, the rate of emptying, in comparison with a device fitted with the same type of valve but with a normal dip tube whose diameter is greater than the values indicated above, by at least 10% in absolute.
- the valve is provided with a tail which comprises a cylindrical housing in which is engaged the upper end of the semi-capillary tube whose external surface is in abutment against the internal surface of the housing.
- Figure 1 of this drawing is a vertical sectional view of an aerosol device according to a first embodiment of the invention, shown during distribution.
- composition C is constituted, in particular, by a self-foaming shaving gel or by a thickened emulsion.
- the viscosity of composition C measured on a Brookfield DV m viscometer, needle No. 7, is in the range from 4,000 to 10,000 millipascals.seconds, preferably from 6,000 to 8,000 millipascals.seconds, measured at a speed from 100 revolutions / minute and from 30,000 to 150,000 millipascals.seconds, preferably from 50,000 to 120,000 millipascals.seconds, measured at a speed of 2.5 revolutions / minute.
- the device D comprises a container 1 intended to be used with the head 2 at the top.
- the container 1 contains the composition and a gaseous propellant B which acts directly on the composition C.
- the propellant is advantageously constituted by a pressurized gas belonging to the assembly formed by: air, nitrogen, or a liquefiable propellant very sparingly soluble in the composition such as 2-H-heptafluoropropane, better known under the name HCFC 227. A gas is avoided liquefied likely to dissolve in the composition.
- the head 2 of the container 1 has a frustoconical shape and is provided at its upper end with an opening 3 with a rolled edge.
- a valve cup 4 is crimped on the edge of this opening and a distribution valve 5 is fixed to the center of the cup 4.
- the valve 5 comprises a valve body 6 around which the central part of the cup 4 is crimped.
- An elastic sealing washer 7 is clamped between the front end of the valve body 6 and a rim of the central part of the cup 4.
- a rod 8 can slide axially in the valve body
- the rod 8 has a channel central 9 opening upwards and the internal end of which is closed axially; this channel 9 communicates by radial passages 9â (or valve orifices) with a peripheral groove 10.
- the internal circular edge of the washer 7 is engaged in this groove 10.
- the washer 7 closes the passage (s) 9â oriented radially and isolates the interior of the container 1 from the channel 9.
- the washer 7 flexes in its central part and allows communication between the interior of the container 1 and the channel 9, as shown in FIG. 1.
- the rod 8 is returned to the closed position upwards by a helical spring 11 disposed between the bottom of the housing provided in the body 6 and the rod 8.
- the upper end of the rod 8 is surmounted by a push button 12 fitted with a dispensing spout 13.
- valve body 6 At its lower part, the valve body 6 is extended downwards by a valve stem 14 inside which is provided a cylindrical housing 15 limited, upwards, by an internal radial shoulder 16.
- a semi-capillary plunger tube 18 is engaged by its upper end in the housing 15 and extends towards the bottom to the vicinity of the bottom 19 of the can 1.
- the internal diameter ⁇ of the tube 18 is between 0.7 mm and 1.5 mm and preferably between 1.3 and 1.5 mm. This reduced diameter section is located upstream of the valve ports 9â *
- compositions whose viscosity is in the following range: from 4,000 to 10,000 millipascals. Seconds, preferably from 6,000 to 8,000 millipascals.seconds, at a speed of 100 revolutions / minute and from 30,000 to
- the dispensing device equipped with the semi-capillary tube 18 allows, by pressing the push button 12, as illustrated in Figure 1, a regular distribution of the product through the spout 13, and reduced losses of gaseous propellant.
- the emptying rate obtained during continuous distribution in some cases, can be greater than 80%.
- the emptying rate which is obtained with the same type of valve but with a normal dip tube whose internal diameter is clearly greater than 1.5 mm can be reduced by an absolute of 10 points (rate of approximately 70%).
- the pressure of the propellant at the start of spraying is generally between 5 and
- the initial flow rate of composition is between 1 g / s and 6.5 g / s, and preferably between 2 g / s and 4 g / s, terminals included.
- the final composition flow at around 80% of the drain, remains greater than 1 g / s.
