Description

Tête de distribution  Distribution head
La présente invention concerne les têtes de distribution utilisées pour distribuer un produit contenu dans un récipient, notamment le pulvériser.  The present invention relates to dispensing heads used for dispensing a product contained in a container, including spraying.
L'invention concerne plus particulièrement mais non exclusivement les têtes de pulvérisation destinées à équiper des récipients pressurisés, notamment ceux contenant des produits cosmétiques.  The invention relates more particularly, but not exclusively, to spray heads intended to equip pressurized containers, in particular those containing cosmetic products.
De nombreuses têtes de pulvérisation ont été proposées, à un ou à plusieurs orifices de distribution.  Many spray heads have been proposed, with one or more dispensing orifices.
L'invention vise à proposer une nouvelle tête de distribution qui convienne plus particulièrement à la pulvérisation d'un produit cosmétique.  The invention aims to provide a new dispensing head which is more particularly suitable for spraying a cosmetic product.
La demande EP 1 052 023 Al divulgue une tête de pulvérisation comportant un orifice de distribution défini entre un obturateur ayant une partie tronconique et le corps de la tête. L'obturateur s'ouvre par déformation de la partie tronconique, sous la pression du produit lors de la distribution. Il se forme un spray conique et creux, au moins au voisinage de la tête.  The application EP 1 052 023 A1 discloses a spray head having a dispensing orifice defined between a shutter having a frustoconical portion and the body of the head. The shutter opens by deformation of the frustoconical portion under the pressure of the product during dispensing. A conical and hollow spray is formed, at least in the vicinity of the head.
La demande WO 2011/065413 divulgue divers agencements de têtes de pulvérisation dans lesquels un orifice de pulvérisation est défini entre une partie périphérique et une partie centrale, reliées entre elles par des ponts de matière.  The application WO 2011/065413 discloses various arrangements of spray heads in which a spray orifice is defined between a peripheral portion and a central portion, interconnected by bridges of material.
US 7 303 152 décrit une tête de pulvérisation munie d'un cône déflecteur dont la position est réglable.  No. 7,303,152 discloses a spray head provided with a deflector cone whose position is adjustable.
US 7 575 134 décrit une tête de pulvérisation à orifice de distribution fermé au repos.  US Pat. No. 7,575,134 discloses a closed dispensing orifice spray head.
EP 700356, EP 1 737 760, US 3 767 125 et US 3 628 733 décrivent des têtes de distribution à plusieurs orifices de distribution.  EP 700356, EP 1,737,760, US 3,767,125 and US 3,628,733 disclose dispensing heads with a plurality of dispensing orifices.
L'invention a pour objet, selon un premier de ses aspects, une tête de distribution destinée à équiper un récipient comportant une tige de valve ou de pompe, la tête de distribution comportant :  The object of the invention is, according to a first of its aspects, a dispensing head intended to equip a receptacle comprising a valve or pump stem, the dispensing head comprising:
un corps pourvu d'un embout de raccordement à la tige de valve ou de pompe,  a body provided with a connection piece to the valve stem or pump,
une pièce rapportée sur le corps, définissant au moins partiellement un orifice de distribution de section annulaire au repos ou plusieurs orifices de distribution répartis autour d'un axe de distribution, la tête étant non traversante selon l'axe de distribution, le corps étant fermé selon l'axe de distribution et ladite pièce de forme annulaire, ou étant pourvu d'une ouverture traversante selon l'axe de distribution et ladite pièce obturant cette ouverture. an insert on the body, at least partially defining an annular section distribution orifice at rest or a plurality of distribution orifices distributed around a distribution axis, the head being non-traversing along the axis of distribution, the body being closed along the distribution axis and said annular piece, or being provided with a through opening along the distribution axis and said piece closing this opening.
La tête de distribution selon l'invention présente, grâce à ladite pièce rapportée, un aspect qui tranche clairement avec celui des têtes de distribution connues, et qui s'avère particulièrement attractif pour le consommateur.  The dispensing head according to the invention has, through said insert, an appearance that contrasts sharply with that of known dispensing heads, and is particularly attractive to the consumer.
L'invention permet de former plusieurs orifices de distribution avec la pièce rapportée, ce qui simplifie la fabrication d'une tête à orifices multiples, ou un orifice de distribution de forme annulaire, qui peut remplacer plusieurs orifices répartis autour de l'axe de distribution. La présence d'un orifice annulaire ou d'orifices répartis autour d'un axe peut permettre de former un spray creux, continu ou presque, autour de l'axe, et de diamètre relativement grand.  The invention makes it possible to form a plurality of dispensing orifices with the insert, which simplifies the manufacture of a multi-orifice head, or an annular-shaped dispensing orifice, which can replace several orifices distributed around the distribution axis. . The presence of an annular orifice or orifices distributed around an axis can make it possible to form a hollow spray, continuous or almost, around the axis, and of relatively large diameter.
L'absence d'ouverture traversante selon l'axe de distribution évite de perturber l'émission du produit par les turbulences liées à l'aspiration de l'air à travers une telle ouverture. Ces turbulences peuvent entraîner un risque de salissure accru de la tête par le produit. De plus, l'absence d'ouverture évite toute projection de produit sur le doigt qui actionne la tête, qui pourrait sinon entraîner un risque de gélure.  The absence of through opening along the axis of distribution avoids disturbing the emission of the product by the turbulence associated with the aspiration of the air through such an opening. This turbulence can lead to increased risk of contamination of the head by the product. In addition, the lack of opening prevents any product projection on the finger that actuates the head, which could otherwise lead to a risk of gelation.
Le ou les orifices de distribution sont ouverts au repos. Par « au repos », il faut comprendre avant que la pièce rapportée ne soit exposée à la pression du produit à distribuer. Ainsi, le ou chaque orifice de distribution est déjà formé et ouvert quand le produit est envoyé dans la tête pour être distribué.  The distribution orifice (s) are open at rest. By "at rest" it is necessary to understand before the insert is exposed to the pressure of the product to be dispensed. Thus, the or each dispensing orifice is already formed and opened when the product is sent into the head to be dispensed.
L'orifice de distribution peut être unique ou non. Lorsqu' annulaire, l'orifice de distribution peut présenter, dans le sens circonférentiel, une largeur constante. L'orifice de distribution peut être défini entre deux surfaces de révolution, concentriques. L'orifice de distribution peut être à symétrie axiale, de préférence à symétrie de révolution, autour de l'axe de distribution notamment. L'axe de distribution est défini par la direction générale vers laquelle le produit est distribué par la tête.  The dispensing orifice may be single or not. When annular, the dispensing orifice may have, in the circumferential direction, a constant width. The dispensing orifice can be defined between two concentric surfaces of revolution. The dispensing orifice may be axially symmetrical, preferably symmetrical of revolution, around the distribution axis in particular. The axis of distribution is defined by the general direction towards which the product is distributed by the head.
Une chambre de répartition de produit peut avantageusement être ménagée en amont du ou des orifices de distribution. Cela peut faciliter l'émission d'un spray homogène. Un canal d'amenée du produit peut déboucher dans cette chambre, laquelle peut présenter une forme annulaire.  A product distribution chamber may advantageously be provided upstream of the distribution orifice (s). This can facilitate the emission of a homogeneous spray. A product supply channel may open into this chamber, which may have an annular shape.
Les orifices de distribution peuvent être tous définis par la pièce rapportée. Les orifices de distribution peuvent être de nombre supérieur à trois. The dispensing orifices may all be defined by the insert. The dispensing orifices may be of number greater than three.
Les orifices de distribution sont de préférence équirépartis autour de l'axe de distribution.  The dispensing orifices are preferably evenly distributed around the distribution axis.
Les orifices de distribution sont de préférnce d'axes parallèles à l'axe de distribution.  The dispensing orifices are preferably axes parallel to the distribution axis.

la figure 1 représente, de façon schématique en perspective, un exemple de tête de distribution réalisée conformément à l'invention,  FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic perspective view of an exemplary dispensing head made according to the invention,
- les figures 2 et 3 sont des vues analogues à la figure 1, de variantes de réalisation de la tête, et les figures 4 et 5 représentent des détails de réalisation de canaux tourbillonnaires. FIGS. 2 and 3 are views similar to FIG. 1, variant embodiments of the head, and Figures 4 and 5 show details of realization of vortex channels.
Sur le dessin, les proportions relatives réelles des différents éléments constitutifs n'ont pas toujours été respectées, dans un souci de clarté.  In the drawing, the actual relative proportions of the different constituent elements have not always been respected, for the sake of clarity.
La tête de distribution 1 représentée aux figures 1 à 3 est destinée à équiper un récipient R non entièrement représenté, muni d'une tige creuse T de valve ou de pompe, par laquelle le produit à distribuer contenu dans le récipient est acheminé vers la tête 1.  The dispensing head 1 shown in Figures 1 to 3 is intended to equip a container R not fully shown, provided with a hollow stem T valve or pump, by which the product to be dispensed contained in the container is routed to the head 1.
Le récipient R peut notamment être un récipient pressurisé du type bidon aérosol, contenant un gaz propulseur tel que par exemple de l'air comprimé ou un gaz liquéfié. Le récipient R peut contenir au moins un composé cosmétique, dermatologique ou autre, notamment destiné à une application ménagère. Le produit peut être à pulvériser ou à distribuer autrement, sous forme de mousse par exemple.  The container R may in particular be a pressurized container of the aerosol canister type, containing a propellant such as for example compressed air or a liquefied gas. The container R may contain at least one cosmetic, dermatological or other, especially for household purposes. The product may be sprayed or otherwise dispensed, for example as a foam.
Le récipient R peut être équipé d'une valve et l'ouverture de la valve peut s'effectuer par exemple par enfoncement de la tige creuse T selon son axe longitudinal X ou en variante par basculement de celle-ci. Lorsque le récipient R est équipé d'une pompe, l'actionnement de la pompe peut s'effectuer par exemple par enfoncement de la tige creuse T selon son axe longitudinal X à l'aide de la tête de distribution.  The container R may be equipped with a valve and the opening of the valve may be effected for example by depressing the hollow rod T along its longitudinal axis X or alternatively by tilting thereof. When the container R is equipped with a pump, the pump can be actuated for example by depressing the hollow rod T along its longitudinal axis X with the aid of the dispensing head.
La tête 1 comporte un corps 3, lequel peut être réalisé de façon monolithique par moulage d'une seule pièce en matière thermoplastique ou comporter plusieurs éléments réalisés séparément et assemblés (variante non illustrée).  The head 1 comprises a body 3, which may be made monolithically by molding a single piece of thermoplastic material or comprise several elements made separately and assembled (variant not shown).
Le corps 3 peut comporter comme illustré un embout 6 destiné à coopérer avec la tige creuse T pour permettre au produit délivré par celle-ci de gagner un canal d'amenée 7 qui débouche dans un logement 8 du corps 3.  The body 3 may comprise, as illustrated, a tip 6 intended to cooperate with the hollow rod T to allow the product delivered by it to gain a supply channel 7 which opens into a housing 8 of the body 3.
L'embout 6 présente une dimension adaptée au diamètre extérieur de la tige T, de façon à obtenir un montage étanche de la tige dans l'embout 6, pour que le produit délivré par la tige passe entièrement dans le canal d'amenée 7. Ce dernier est par exemple parallèle à la tige du récipient mais pourrait être orienté autrement et comporter par exemple une ou plusieurs portions orientées différemment.  The tip 6 has a dimension adapted to the outer diameter of the rod T, so as to obtain a sealed mounting of the rod in the nozzle 6, so that the product delivered by the rod passes entirely into the supply channel 7. The latter is for example parallel to the container stem but could be oriented differently and comprise for example one or more portions oriented differently.
Une pièce rapportée 10, de forme annulaire, est fixée dans le logement 8. Par « annulaire », il faut comprendre au sens de la présente invention toute forme ajourée suivant un contour fermé, que ce contour soit circulaire, elliptique, polygonal ou autre. L'axe de distribution Z peut être perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal X, comme illustré. An insert 10, of annular shape, is fixed in the housing 8. For "annular" is understood in the sense of the present invention any perforated form in a closed contour, that this contour is circular, elliptical, polygonal or other. The distribution axis Z may be perpendicular to the longitudinal axis X, as illustrated.
Le logement 8 se présente dans l'exemple illustré sous la forme d'une gorge annulaire d'axe Z, dans laquelle fait saillie une nervure annulaire 13 venue de moulage avec le corps 3.  The housing 8 is in the example illustrated in the form of an annular groove Z axis, in which projects an annular rib 13 integrally molded with the body 3.
La pièce rapportée 10 présente deux jupes de montage concentriques 14 et 15, reliées par une paroi frontale 16, laquelle est traversée par des orifices de distribution 18, chacun d'axe K parallèle à l'axe de distribution Z. Dans l'exemple illustré, les orifices de distribution 18 sont équirépartis angulairement autour de l'axe Z, étant par exemple tous situés à la même distance de cet axe Z. Chaque orifice 18 peut être de section circulaire. La pièce rapportée 10 peut définir avec le corps 3 un ou plusieurs canaux tourbillonnaires 24, comme illustré aux figures 4 et 5.  The insert 10 has two concentric mounting skirts 14 and 15, connected by a front wall 16, which is traversed by distribution orifices 18, each of axis K parallel to the distribution axis Z. In the illustrated example , the dispensing orifices 18 are equidistributed angularly about the Z axis, being for example all located at the same distance from this axis Z. Each orifice 18 may be of circular section. The insert 10 may define with the body 3 one or more swirl channels 24, as shown in Figures 4 and 5.
Plus précisément, la face d'extrémité 19 de la nervure 13 peut définir avec la face interne 47 de la paroi frontale 16 une chambre tourbillonnaire 22 située en amont d'un orifice de distribution 18, chambre 22 dans laquelle débouchent les canaux 24.  More specifically, the end face 19 of the rib 13 can define with the inner face 47 of the front wall 16 a swirl chamber 22 located upstream of a dispensing orifice 18, chamber 22 into which the channels 24 open.
Ces derniers sont plus de deux, par exemple au nombre de trois ou quatre comme illustré à la figure 5, et débouchent de préférence de façon tangentielle dans la chambre 22.  These are more than two, for example three or four as illustrated in FIG. 5, and preferably open tangentially in the chamber 22.
Le produit peut gagner les canaux 24 par un jeu annulaire 29 existant entre la jupe de montage 14 et la nervure annulaire 13 et/ou par un jeu annulaire 28 existant entre la jupe de montage 15 et la nervure annulaire 13.  The product can gain the channels 24 by an annular clearance 29 existing between the mounting skirt 14 and the annular rib 13 and / or by an annular clearance 28 existing between the mounting skirt 15 and the annular rib 13.
Tous les orifices 18 peuvent comporter en amont une telle chambre 22, alimentée par des canaux tourbillonnaires 24.  All the orifices 18 may comprise upstream such a chamber 22, fed by vortex channels 24.
Le corps 3 est dépourvu d'ouverture traversante selon l'axe de distribution Z. Dans l'exemple illustré à la figure 1, la partie annulaire 32 du corps 3 dans laquelle est formé le logement 8 qui reçoit la pièce rapportée 10, est fermée en son centre par une paroi 34 qui s'étend par exemple comme illustré perpendiculairement à l'axe Z.  The body 3 has no through opening along the distribution axis Z. In the example illustrated in FIG. 1, the annular portion 32 of the body 3 in which the housing 8 which receives the insert 10 is formed, is closed. at its center by a wall 34 which extends for example as illustrated perpendicular to the axis Z.
La pièce rapportée 10 est fixée dans le corps 3 par tout moyen adapté et par exemple par encliquetage grâce à un bourrelet annulaire 40 formé à sa base, qui coopère avec un relief complémentaire réalisé sur le corps 3.  The insert 10 is fixed in the body 3 by any suitable means and for example by snap-fitting thanks to an annular bead 40 formed at its base, which cooperates with a complementary relief made on the body 3.
Dans l'exemple illustré à la figure 1, la partie annulaire 32 définit avec la paroi 34 un renfoncement 43 du côté opposé à la sortie du produit. Ce renfoncement 43 peut accueillir au moins partiellement le doigt de l'utilisateur qui sert à l'actionnement de la tête de distribution 1 pour provoquer la distribution du produit. In the example illustrated in Figure 1, the annular portion 32 defines with the wall 34 a recess 43 on the side opposite the outlet of the product. This recess 43 can at least partially accommodate the finger of the user who is used to actuate the dispensing head 1 to cause the dispensing of the product.
Dans la variante illustrée à la figure 2, la paroi 34 se situe plus en arrière relativement aux orifices 18 et par exemple, comme illustré, s'inscrit dans la continuité de la face arrière de la partie annulaire 32. La tête 1 présente alors un renfoncement 46, défini par la paroi 34 et la partie annulaire 32, qui est du même côté de la tête 1 que les orifices de distribution 18.  In the variant illustrated in Figure 2, the wall 34 is further back relative to the orifices 18 and for example, as shown, is in continuity with the rear face of the annular portion 32. The head 1 then has a recess 46, defined by the wall 34 and the annular portion 32, which is on the same side of the head 1 as the dispensing orifices 18.
On a représenté à la figure 3 une variante de tête de distribution 1 dans laquelle l'orifice de distribution 18 peut présenter une forme annulaire d'axe Z.  FIG. 3 shows a variant of the dispensing head 1 in which the dispensing orifice 18 may have an annular shape with a Z axis.
L'orifice 18 est défini entre une paroi tubulaire 50 du corps 3, symétrique de révolution d'axe Z, et une pièce rapportée 10 qui est fixée sur le corps 3.  The orifice 18 is defined between a tubular wall 50 of the body 3, symmetrical of revolution of axis Z, and an insert 10 which is fixed on the body 3.
En l'absence de la pièce rapportée 10, le corps 3 présente une ouverture 60 traversante selon l'axe Z.  In the absence of the insert 10, the body 3 has a through opening 60 along the axis Z.
La pièce rapportée 10 peut présenter comme illustré une paroi 34 bombée vers l'avant, qui ferme le corps 3, de telle sorte que la tête 1 ne présente pas d'ouverture traversante selon l'axe de distribution Z.  The insert 10 may have as illustrated a forwardly curved wall 34, which closes the body 3, so that the head 1 has no through opening along the Z distribution axis.
Le corps 3 peut être prolongé inférieurement par une jupe d'habillage 56, qui peut recouvrir partiellement le récipient en partie supérieure.  The body 3 can be extended inferiorly by a covering skirt 56, which can partially cover the container in the upper part.
Le corps 3 peut être réalisé avec un appui 57 pour le doigt de l'utilisateur. Cet appui 57 s'étend partiellement à l'intérieur de l'ouverture 60 à l'intérieur du corps 3.  The body 3 can be made with a support 57 for the finger of the user. This support 57 extends partially inside the opening 60 inside the body 3.
Le produit peut gagner une chambre de répartition 64, en amont de l'orifice de distribution 18, par un canal d'amenée 7 situé dans le prolongement de l'embout 6 de montage sur la tige T. Cette chambre de répartition 64 peut présenter une forme annulaire, étant délimitée axial ement selon l'axe Z d'une part par une partie d'extrémité 75 de la pièce rapportée 10, encliquetée sur le corps 3, et d'autre part par une couronne 76 ménageant avec la paroi en regard 50 du corps 3 un jeu 80 par lequel le produit peut s'écouler.  The product can gain a distribution chamber 64, upstream of the dispensing orifice 18, by a supply channel 7 located in the extension of the mounting nozzle 6 on the rod T. This distribution chamber 64 can present an annular shape, being delimited axially along the axis Z on the one hand by an end portion 75 of the insert 10, snapped onto the body 3, and on the other hand by a ring 76 forming with the wall eye 50 of the body 3 a game 80 through which the product can flow.
Pour utiliser la tête de distribution 1, l'utilisateur actionne la tige de valve, ce qui provoque l'arrivée du produit dans l'embout 6. Le produit gagne par le canal d'amenée 7 la chambre de répartition 64, puis est distribué par l'orifice de distribution 18.  To use the dispensing head 1, the user actuates the valve stem, which causes the arrival of the product in the tip 6. The product gains through the supply channel 7 the distribution chamber 64, and is distributed through the dispensing orifice 18.
Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples qui viennent d'être décrits. En particulier, on peut apporter d'autres modifications à la tête de distribution selon l'invention sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention. Of course, the invention is not limited to the examples which have just been described. In particular, other modifications may be made to the dispensing head according to the invention without departing from the scope of the present invention.
Par exemple, on peut modifier encore la forme du corps 3 et celle de la pièce rapportée 10 qui définit au moins partiellement le ou les orifices de distribution. La pièce 10 peut définir avec le corps 3, dans une variante de la figure 3, plusieurs orifices de distribution, chacun en forme de secteur angulaire, par exemple.  For example, one can further modify the shape of the body 3 and that of the insert 10 which at least partially defines the or the dispensing orifices. The piece 10 can define with the body 3, in a variant of Figure 3, a plurality of dispensing orifices, each in the form of angular sector, for example.
L'axe Z peut être perpendiculaire à l'axe X comme illustré sur les figures 1 et 2 ou faire un angle non droit avec celui-ci, comme illustré à la figure 3.  The Z axis may be perpendicular to the X axis as shown in Figures 1 and 2 or make a non-right angle therewith, as shown in Figure 3.
La tête de distribution 1 peut être agencée pour permettre le montage d'un capot de protection et comporter, le cas échéant, un système on/off permettant d'interdire l'actionnement du dispositif pour une certaine position de la tête de distribution par rapport au récipient, ou pour une certaine position d'un élément de verrouillage de la tête de distribution relativement à celle-ci.  The dispensing head 1 may be arranged to allow the mounting of a protective cover and include, where appropriate, an on / off system to prohibit the actuation of the device for a certain position of the dispensing head relative to the container, or for a certain position of a locking element of the dispensing head relative thereto.
Le produit à pulvériser peut être un déodorant, notamment un déodorant contenant un alcool, un anti-transpirant, un soin coiffant, une mousse à raser, entre autres possibilités.  The product to be sprayed can be a deodorant, in particular an alcohol-containing deodorant, an antiperspirant, a styling treatment, a shaving foam, among other possibilities.
L'expression « comportant un » doit être comprise comme étant synonyme de « comportant au moins un », sauf si le contraire est spécifié.  The expression "having one" shall be understood as being synonymous with "having at least one", unless the opposite is specified.
