Definitions
- the present invention relates to the packaging industry for pressurized fluids called "aerosol" and is more particularly aimed at valve actuators for actuating the valve of such packages.
- the pusher is generally protected by a cap that the user must remove to gain access to the pusher.
- a drawback stems from the fact that the user must keep the cap by hand or place it on a table or other support during the whole time of use, with a risk of deterioration, or forgetfulness of the cap.
- Devices have also been proposed in which the pusher is rotatably mounted on a support, immobilized on the container and in which it can slide axially only in a predetermined angular position.
- the invention aims to overcome the drawbacks of conventional push-dispensers and allow the production of packaging in which the nozzle can be protected from any external pollution and the valve can not be operated outside of periods of use , without there being a cap or other part to be removed to gain access to the pusher, and without any particular precaution to be observed when mounting the pusher-dispenser on the container fitted with its valve.
- the subject of the invention is a lockable dispenser-valve for aerosol valve, comprising a body in one piece, the base of which has means of attachment to an aerosol container and the upper part of which is articulated on the base by a flexible tongue defined by a cutout of the wall of the body, laterally comprises a dispensing nozzle situated above the articulation tongue and connected to an axial tube for connection to the hollow actuation and distribution rod of the valve ; - push-dispenser characterized in that the upper part of its body is surrounded by a ring, free in rotation but locked in axial translation, extended radially by a manual action lever, and in that the edge of the ring on the side of the base of the body is inclined diametrically, the ring being shorter below the lever, while its longest side, diametrically opposite the lever, comes in the immediate vicinity of a circular shoulder of the outer wall of the base of the body, so that when the lever is brought, by rotation of the ring, opposite the nozzle, it can be lowered to
- the wall of the ring has, with the lever, extensions extending in front of the nozzle in the locking position of the pusher-distributor.
- the axis of the nozzle is inclined about 120 ° relative to the axis of the upper part. body, the nozzle normally opening at a terminal conical wall of the upper part of the body.
- the ring and the upper part of the body to carry additional indexing means, of the elastically surmountable lug-notch type, to locate the lever carried by the ring opposite the nozzle, in the locking position, and on the opposite side in the operating position.
- a subject of the invention is also the so-called "aerosol" pressure packaging articles fitted with a lockable dispenser-valve according to the invention.
- Figure 1 is a schematic view, in elevation and in axial section of a pusher-dispenser according to the invention in the locked position;
- Figure 2 is a view similar to that of Figure 1 of the same pusher-distributor in the operating position; and,
- Figure 3 is a schematic view from above of the same pusher-distributor.
- the corresponding elements are designated by the same reference numerals. The dimensions and the respective proportions of these elements may not be respected so that the drawings are more readable.
- the push-dispenser according to the invention shown in the drawings is made of two molded pieces of plastic, for example polypropylene, fitted one into the other: a body 1 and a ring 2.
- the body comprises a base 3 and an upper part 4 articulated on a circular shoulder 5 from the top of the base by an elastic tongue delimited by a cutout 6 in an arc.
- the upper part 4 of the body comprises a dispensing nozzle 7 normally opening into a frustoconical wall 8 end of this upper part.
- This nozzle 7 is connected, by a channel 9 inclined at about 120 * to an axial tube 10 for connection to the hollow rod 11 for actuating and distributing the valve of a container 12 for aero-soil conditioning, indicated by dotted lines in Figure 2.
- the tube 10 is reinforced by radial fins 13, 13 '.
- the base 3 has internally a marginal bead 14 and radial fins I5a-15e which snap together the marginal lateral part of the top of the container 12 (FIG. 2) to secure the body 1 of the container.
- the ring 2 is mounted to pivot freely around the upper part 4 of the body 1, but is axially wedged by snap-fastening of an internal circumferential rib 16 of the ring in an external circumferential groove 17 of the side wall cylin ⁇ dric 18 of the upper part 4 of the body 1.
- the ring 2 is extended radially by a lever 18 of manual actuation which presents a deflection 19 for the support of the finger 20 of the user ( figure 2).
- the edge 21 of the ring facing the shoulder 5 of the base 3 is inclined diametrically about 7 'relative to the axis of the ring, so that the edge of the shortest part of the ring is located below the lever 18 at a distance from the shoulder 5, while the edge of the longest part of the ring, diametrically opposite the lever comes in close proximity to the shoulder 5 which forms thus a stop.
- the lever 18 has two lateral cheeks 21, 22 and an upper plate 23 which, with an extension of the wall of the ring, beyond the rib 16, surround the nozzle 7 in the locked position (FIG. 1) and the thus protect from any external pollution.
- the plate 23 has an axial lug 24 which cooperates with two notches 25, 26 diamétrale ⁇ ment opposite the top of the upper part 4 of the body to index at will the lever, and therefore the ring, in the locking position ( Figure 1) or the position of use ( Figures 2 and 3).
