Definitions
- the present invention relates to an improvement to a device for delivering one or more foaming components from a container. It will generally be a polyurethane foam with one or two components to be applied from an aerosol can.
- such a foaming component can be ejected from the container by manipulation of a valve releasing an opening towards an adapter fixed on said valve, the adapter being in communication with a dispensing hose, generally flexible, which allows the application of the foam in a specific place.
- plastic adapters can take various forms, in particular depending on the type of associated valve, and have been used for more than 25 years to deliver the contents of an aerosol can.
- Different means of attachment to the valve have been proposed.
- the adapter is screwed onto a thread outside the valve. By tilting or pushing on the adapter, the valve opens and the foaming liquid (s) exit via the adapter to reach the end of the attached dispensing tube.
- the fixing of the tube is generally reversible and is generally carried out by friction on the outside or inside of a nozzle, possibly with a thread, serrated or notched, provided for example by molding on the adapter.
- the tube will generally be flexible and made of plastic.
- Another method for applying foaming liquids contained in aerosol containers is to use an applicator (foam gun). In this case there is no adapter and tube. By activating the trigger of the applicator, the foaming liquid is ejected at the end of the gun barrel.
- the adapter / tube device provides foams of higher density than those obtained using a gun.
- End consumers generally use 1KPU foams using an adapter and tube and therefore generally obtain higher density foams.
- the invention proposes to overcome the disadvantages associated with this difference in density so that the user can choose between a high density foam and a lower density foam.
- High density foams are used for example for fixing window frames.
- Low density foams serve as filling or filling material: the aim is to obtain the maximum amount of foam from a container, that is to say from a given volume. In the latter case, we will say that the "yield" is higher.
- the invention proposes to obtain simply a higher yield with an adapter / tube device.
- the invention consists in providing a narrowing in the channel of the tube bringing the flow of foaming material. It is then considered that there is an increase in the speed at the narrowing point and a corresponding decrease in the pressure at the outlet of the narrowing. The venturi effect thus obtained increases the "foaming capacity" of the liquid delivered.
- the "high efficiency" adapter with or without end piece or tube, according to the invention, can be screwed onto the male screw thread of the valve, in a conventional manner.
- the internal diameter is generally at least 1 mm so as to ensure minimum production at the different temperatures of the container.
- the adapter and the tube have an internal diameter of about
- the narrowing can also be found at different places in the channel of the tube leading to the foam, for example in the form of a ring.
- the venturi effect is simply obtained at the end of the tube by a nozzle having an opening varying from 1 to 5 mm. The diameter of this tip will determine the density of the resulting foam.
- the end piece comprises several smaller openings.
- the end piece can be fixed by friction, glued or screwed.
- the adapter consists of a ring having a disc pierced with a number of holes, preferably circular, and placed transversely in the channel of the tube.
- a central hole there are therefore from 2 to more than 20 holes of smaller diameter, varying for example from 0.1 mm to 20 mm, preferably from 0.3 mm to 1.8 mm, more preferably from 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm.
- Providing several holes has proven to be advantageous with regard to the yield, which can thus increase by 30%.
- the foam used is of a standard OCF commercial formulation for adapter bombs.
- foam density 30 g / 1 volume of foam for a 750 ml spray can: 25 liters
- the invention proposes - a foaming device to reduce and control the final density of the foam by approximately 30%, compared to traditional devices on the market, for aerosol foam component with 1 or 2 components.
- - a foaming device to increase and control the foam yield of approximately 30%, compared to traditional devices on the market, for aerosol foam component with 1 or 2 components.
- Fig. 1 illustrates the invention according to a first variant.
- Fig. illustrates schematically by way of example only a conventional adapter 1, adaptable to a valve of an aerosol can 7, comprising a nozzle 2 for fixing a tube 3 of variable length, generally about 15 to 20 cm.
- the tube is shown in longitudinal section with the end of said tube comprising a circular opening 4 of reduced section, in the form of a nozzle 5 fixed by friction internally to said end.
- the tip has a single circular centered opening.
- the adapter includes a lever 6 to facilitate the tilting of the valve body ("tilting valve").
- Fig. 2 shows a tip in plan and in longitudinal section according to a variant, the tip 5 being provided with 5 openings 4 and a serration 7 for fixing the tip in a flexible tube not shown. Note the presence of a terminal edge 8.
- Fig. 3 illustrates another variant of the nozzle comprising 8 openings, which has proved to be particularly advantageous.
- the openings are 0.7 mm diameter, the nozzle having a length of 12.13 mm, an outside diameter of 6.35 mm and an inside diameter of 5 mm.
- the diameter of the terminal edge 8 is 7.5 mm.
- Fig. 4 illustrates a variant with thirteen holes.
- a disc with 17 or 13 holes will have openings of 0.7 mm, and a disc with 5 holes of 1 mm.
- foaming components according to the invention are not limited to polyurethane foams or other synthetic foams. It can thus for example be non-polymeric chemicals, cosmetic products or even food products (creams, sauces) which may be in the form of foam.
