Description

Dispositif formant testeur de parfum Perfume tester device
[0001] La présente invention se rapporte à un dispositif formant testeur de parfum, à disposer notamment dans les magasins vendant du parfum, dans lesquels les clients souhaitent, avant leur achat, tester le parfum, notamment en s’aspergeant une partie du corps, par exemple l’avant-bras, d’une dose test de parfum. The present invention relates to a device forming a perfume tester, to be placed in particular in stores selling perfume, in which customers wish, before their purchase, to test the perfume, in particular by spraying a part of the body, for example the forearm, of a test dose of perfume.
[0002] On connaît déjà à cet effet l’utilisation d’un flacon test commun, souvent identique à celui vendu, disponible pour chaque personne souhaitant tester le parfum. Cette utilisation nécessite ainsi que le client prenne à la main le flacon test, ce qui est nuisible en terme de propagation d’épidémie dans une population, et on aimerait avoir à disposition une procédure de test et/ou un dispositif test qui soient plus sûrs en terme de santé publique, et notamment ne favorisent pas la propagation d’une épidémie. We already know for this purpose the use of a common test bottle, often identical to that sold, available for each person wishing to test the perfume. This use therefore requires the customer to take the test vial in his hand, which is harmful in terms of the spread of an epidemic in a population, and we would like to have available a test procedure and / or a test device that are safer. in terms of public health, and in particular do not promote the spread of an epidemic.
[0003] De FR2868343, il est connu un boîtier ouvert dans lequel est reçu un flacon à la verticale, un moteur électrique entraînant une came pour venir presser directement le bouton pression disposé sur le dessus du flacon pour fournir une dose de parfum par la buse du bouton pression lorsque l’utilisateur introduit la main à l’intérieur du boîtier, la présence de la main à l’intérieur du boîtier étant détecté par un détecteur, la détection par le détecteur ayant pour effet d’activer le moteur et la fourniture d’une dose. From FR2868343, it is known an open case in which is received a bottle vertically, an electric motor driving a cam to directly press the pressure button arranged on the top of the bottle to provide a dose of perfume through the nozzle the pressure button when the user puts his hand inside the box, the presence of the hand inside the box being detected by a detector, the detection by the detector having the effect of activating the motor and the supply of a dose.
[0004] De FR2830420 il est connu un dispositif formant testeur de parfum comportant un flacon disposé à la verticale et un électro aimant entraînant un élément en porte à faux venant presser un bouton pression au-dessus du flacon pour une fourniture d’une dose par la buse du bouton pression. From FR2830420 it is known a device forming a perfume tester comprising a bottle arranged vertically and an electromagnet driving a cantilevered element pressing a pressure button above the bottle for a supply of a dose by the snap button nozzle.
[0005] De EP0401060, il est connu un diffuseur destiné à diffuser du parfum sous forme pulvérisée dans un espace, en vue de parfumer l’espace. [0005] From EP0401060, there is known a diffuser intended to diffuse perfume in spray form in a space, in order to perfume the space.
[0006] Ces dispositifs sont volumineux et de structure complexe, nécessitant notamment des dispositifs de transmission de mouvement mécanique entre un moteur ou un électroaimant et le bouton pression du flacon, et ne permettent pas d’avoir à disposition un dispositif formant testeur reçu dans un boîtier fermé de petites dimensions. [0007] Suivant l'invention, un dispositif formant testeur de parfum est tel que défini à la revendication 1 , des perfectionnements et mode de réalisation avantageux étant définis aux sous revendications. These devices are bulky and of complex structure, requiring in particular devices for transmitting mechanical movement between a motor or an electromagnet and the pressure button of the bottle, and do not make it possible to have available a device forming a tester received in a small closed case. [0007] According to the invention, a device forming a perfume tester is as defined in claim 1, improvements and advantageous embodiment being defined in the sub-claims.
[0008] Ainsi, l’utilisateur n’a plus besoin de prendre le flacon dans les mains et le flacon commun à toute la clientèle reste vierge de tout contact avec la clientèle et ne peut pas ainsi contribuer à la propagation d’une épidémie. En outre, grâce à l’agencement suivant l’invention, on peut réaliser un testeur de parfum reçu dans un boîtier fermé de petites dimensions, notamment un boîtier ayant un volume dont chaque dimension respectivement en largeur, longueur et hauteur n’est pas supérieure à deux fois celle respective du flacon. [0008] Thus, the user no longer needs to take the bottle in his hands and the bottle common to all customers remains free from any contact with customers and thus cannot contribute to the spread of an epidemic. In addition, thanks to the arrangement according to the invention, it is possible to produce a perfume tester received in a closed case of small dimensions, in particular a case having a volume of which each dimension respectively in width, length and height is not greater. twice that of the respective bottle.
[0009] Suivant un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, la position, notamment la hauteur des moyens d’application de pression, notamment de la plaque de pression ou de la came, peut être réglée par des moyens de réglage pour s'adapter à différentes tailles de flacon. [0009] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the position, in particular the height of the pressure application means, in particular of the pressure plate or of the cam, can be adjusted by adjustment means for s' adapt to different sizes of vial.
[0010] Ce réglage de la hauteur permet d’utiliser directement des flacons destinés à la vente issus du magasin où est installé le dispositif. This height adjustment allows direct use of vials intended for sale from the store where the device is installed.
[0011] Dans la présente invention, on entend par le fait que la buse est déportée par rapport au flacon, le fait que la buse est à distance du flacon, notamment à distance, en hauteur et/ou latéralement, de la pompe reçue dans le goulot ou orifice de sortie du flacon, de préférence par le fait que au moins l’extrémité de la buse se trouve latéralement à l’extérieur de l’enveloppe virtuelle du flacon formée par l’ensemble des droites verticales passant par les points les plus latéralement extérieurs du flacon, encore plus préférablement par le fait que l’ensemble de la buse se trouve latéralement à l’extérieur de l’enveloppe virtuelle du goulot ou orifice de sortie du flacon dans lequel est reçue la pompe, et encore plus préférablement par le fait que l’ensemble de la buse se trouve latéralement à l’extérieur de l’enveloppe virtuelle du flacon formée par l’ensemble des droites verticales passant par les points les plus latéralement extérieurs du flacon. In the present invention, is meant by the fact that the nozzle is offset relative to the bottle, the fact that the nozzle is at a distance from the bottle, in particular at a distance, in height and / or laterally, of the pump received in the neck or outlet of the bottle, preferably by the fact that at least the end of the nozzle is located laterally outside the virtual envelope of the bottle formed by the set of vertical straight lines passing through the most important points more laterally outside the bottle, even more preferably in that the entire nozzle is located laterally outside the virtual envelope of the neck or outlet of the bottle in which the pump is received, and even more preferably in that the whole of the nozzle is located laterally on the outside of the virtual envelope of the bottle formed by the set of vertical straight lines passing through the most laterally exterior points of the bottle.

[0024] Dans le boîtier 1 est reçu un flacon 6 de parfum, ici de forme parallélépipédique rectangle, mais qui pourrait également être de toute autre forme définissant un volume de réception de parfum et comportant une ouverture de sortie dans laquelle est disposée une mini pompe 7 (classique dans le domaine et qui n’est donc pas décrite plus en détail ici) qui sous l’effet d’une pression verticale, pompe une quantité de parfum et l’expulse hors de son orifice de sortie. [0025] Un système 8 de pulvérisation déportée réalise la jonction entre l’orifice de sortie de la mini pompe 7 et l’extérieur du boîtier. Ce système 8 comporte un capot 9 et un connecteur 16 à ailettes croisées, destiné à coopérer avec l’orifice ou buse 30 de sortie de la mini pompe 7, un tuyau 10 souple de liaison et une buse 11 de forme cylindrique circulaire complémentaire de la forme de l’orifice 3 pour pouvoir y passer et permettre ainsi la pulvérisation d'une quantité test de parfum hors du boîtier 1 , lorsqu'une pression est appliquée sur le capot 9 recouvrant le connecteur 16. In the housing 1 is received a bottle 6 of perfume, here of rectangular parallelepiped shape, but which could also be of any other shape defining a volume for receiving perfume and comprising an outlet opening in which is disposed a mini pump 7 (conventional in the field and which is therefore not described in more detail here) which, under the effect of vertical pressure, pumps a quantity of perfume and expels it out of its outlet orifice. A remote spraying system 8 makes the junction between the outlet of the mini pump 7 and the outside of the housing. This system 8 comprises a cover 9 and a connector 16 with crossed fins, intended to cooperate with the outlet orifice or nozzle 30 of the mini pump 7, a flexible connecting pipe 10 and a nozzle 11 of circular cylindrical shape complementary to the shape of the orifice 3 in order to be able to pass through it and thus allow the spraying of a test quantity of perfume out of the housing 1, when pressure is applied to the cover 9 covering the connector 16.
[0026] Pour mettre en oeuvre une pression sur le capot 9 du poussoir, il est prévu des moyens d’application de pression constitués d'une tige 12 montée rotative sur un axe d'un moteur 13 fixé sur une paroi intérieure du boîtier 1 . D'autre part, une came 14, sous la forme d’un disque excentré, est montée solidaire en rotation de la tige 12. L'agencement de la tige 12, du moteur 13, de la came 14 et du flacon 6 dans le boîtier est réalisé de manière à ce que la tranche du disque formant la came 14 se trouve au-dessus du capot 9. To implement pressure on the cover 9 of the pusher, pressure application means are provided consisting of a rod 12 rotatably mounted on an axis of a motor 13 fixed to an inner wall of the housing 1 . On the other hand, a cam 14, in the form of an eccentric disc, is mounted integral in rotation with the rod 12. The arrangement of the rod 12, of the motor 13, of the cam 14 and of the bottle 6 in the housing is made so that the edge of the disc forming the cam 14 is located above the cover 9.
[0027] Dans une première position du disque 14, le point de son bord périphérique le plus proche de l’axe de rotation se trouve vers le bas de manière à ne pas appliquer de pression suffisante sur le capot 9 pour que soit actionnée la pompe, notamment le disque 14 étant à distance du capot 9. D'autre part, dans une deuxième position du disque 14, exactement opposée à 180° de la première, dans laquelle le point de son bord périphérique le plus éloigné de l’axe de rotation se trouve vers le bas et applique une pression suffisante sur le capot 9 pour que soit actionnée la pompe et assurer ainsi une délivrance de parfum. In a first position of the disc 14, the point of its peripheral edge closest to the axis of rotation is downwards so as not to apply sufficient pressure on the cover 9 for the pump to be actuated. , in particular the disc 14 being at a distance from the cover 9. On the other hand, in a second position of the disc 14, exactly opposite 180 ° from the first, in which the point of its peripheral edge furthest from the axis of rotation is downward and applies sufficient pressure on the cover 9 for the pump to be actuated and thus ensure delivery of perfume.
[0028] Lors d'une rotation d'un tour de la came, celle-ci passe ainsi d'une position dans laquelle elle n'applique pas de pression à plusieurs positions successives continues pendant lesquelles elle applique une pression qui assure une délivrance d'une quantité de parfum pendant un tour de la came avant de relâcher la pression sur le bouton-poussoir 9 et de revenir dans la position de départ. During a rotation of one turn of the cam, the latter thus passes from a position in which it does not apply pressure to several continuous successive positions during which it applies pressure which ensures delivery of 'a quantity of perfume during one revolution of the cam before releasing the pressure on push-button 9 and returning to the starting position.
[0029] Le dispositif comporte une carte à circuit imprimé 15 et une batterie 26 externe qui sont reliées par des fils électriques de liaison 17 qui assurent la commande électrique du dispositif, notamment la rotation du moteur en fonction des informations envoyées par le capteur 5 de présence. [0030] Ainsi, lorsqu'une personne se présente en face du testeur de parfum, le capteur de présence sans fil, notamment à Infra Rouge, à travers la fenêtre ou fente 4, détecte la présence de la personne et envoie les informations de présence de la personne à la carte 15, qui commande le moteur 13 pour une rotation d'un tour de la tige 12 et donc de la came 14, ce qui a pour effet d'appliquer pendant un intervalle de temps donné le capot 9 du poussoir qui actionne ainsi la mini pompe 7 disposée dans l'ouverture du flacon 6, pour ainsi délivrer une quantité de parfum par l'intermédiaire de la buse de sortie de la mini-pompe, du tuyau 10 intermédiaire, de la buse 11 et de l’orifice 3 à la personne se trouvant en face du point 3 du boîtier. The device comprises a printed circuit board 15 and an external battery 26 which are connected by electric connecting wires 17 which provide the electrical control of the device, in particular the rotation of the motor according to the information sent by the sensor 5 of presence. Thus, when a person presents himself in front of the perfume tester, the wireless presence sensor, in particular infrared, through the window or slot 4, detects the presence of the person and sends the presence information of the person to the card 15, who controls the motor 13 for a rotation of one turn of the rod 12 and therefore of the cam 14, which has the effect of applying for a given time interval the cover 9 of the pusher which thus actuates the mini pump 7 disposed in the opening of the bottle 6, thereby delivering a quantity of perfume through the outlet nozzle of the mini-pump, the intermediate pipe 10, the nozzle 11 and the port 3 to the person in front of point 3 of the housing.
[0031] Ainsi, la personne peut tester le parfum sans avoir besoin en quoi que ce soit d'utiliser ses mains. [0031] Thus, the person can test the perfume without needing to use their hands at all.
[0032] D'autre part, il est prévu des moyens de réglage de la hauteur du moteur 13 et/ou de la tige 12 pour adapter la position en hauteur de la came 14 en fonction de la taille ou de la forme du flacon contenant le parfum à tester. Dans ce mode de réalisation, ces moyens de réglage sont constitués d’une part d’une vis sans fin 21 verticale s’étendant entre deux platines 22, 23 supérieure et inférieure qui portent chacune contre respectivement la paroi de fond et la paroi de sommet du boîtier 1 , notamment en y étant fixées par des vis appropriées, et d’autre part d’une plaque 25 verticale solidarisée à la vis et sur laquelle est fixé, par des vis appropriées, le moteur 13, de sorte qu’on peut régler la hauteur de positionnement du moteur 13, et donc de la tige 12 et de la came 14, en faisant tourner la vis sans fin, notamment manuellement. On the other hand, there are provided means for adjusting the height of the motor 13 and / or of the rod 12 to adapt the height position of the cam 14 according to the size or the shape of the bottle containing the perfume to be tested. In this embodiment, these adjustment means consist on the one hand of a vertical worm 21 extending between two upper and lower plates 22, 23 which each bear respectively against the bottom wall and the top wall. of the housing 1, in particular by being fixed thereto by suitable screws, and on the other hand of a vertical plate 25 secured to the screw and on which is fixed, by suitable screws, the motor 13, so that it is possible adjust the positioning height of the motor 13, and therefore of the rod 12 and of the cam 14, by rotating the endless screw, in particular manually.
[0033] Aux figure 3, 4 et 4A, il est représenté suivant une vue en perspective éclatée un dispositif formant testeur de parfum sans contact suivant un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention. Ce dispositif comporte un boîtier 101 de forme parallélépipédique rectangle ouvert d'un côté qui peut être refermé par une plaque 2 de fermeture permettant l'accès à l'intérieur du boîtier pour y insérer les différents éléments du testeur. Le boîtier 101 comporte un orifice 3 de traversée et une fente 4 destinée à recevoir un capteur 5 de présence. In Figures 3, 4 and 4A, there is shown in an exploded perspective view a device forming a contactless perfume tester according to another embodiment of the invention. This device comprises a box 101 of rectangular parallelepiped shape open on one side which can be closed by a closure plate 2 allowing access to the interior of the box in order to insert the various elements of the tester therein. The housing 101 has a through orifice 3 and a slot 4 intended to receive a presence sensor 5.
[0034] Dans le boîtier 101 est reçu un flacon 6 de parfum, ici de forme parallélépipédique rectangle, mais qui pourrait également être de toute autre forme définissant un volume de réception de parfum et comportant une ouverture de sortie dans laquelle est disposée une mini pompe 7 (classique dans le domaine et qui n’est donc pas décrite plus en détail ici) qui sous l’effet d’une pression verticale, pompe une quantité de parfum et l’expulse hors de l’ouverture par une buse. In the housing 101 is received a bottle 6 of perfume, here of rectangular parallelepiped shape, but which could also be of any other shape defining a volume for receiving perfume and comprising an opening of outlet in which is disposed a mini pump 7 (conventional in the field and which is therefore not described in more detail here) which, under the effect of vertical pressure, pumps a quantity of perfume and expels it out of the opening by a nozzle.
[0035] Un système 8 de pulvérisation déportée réalise la jonction entre la buse de sortie de la mini pompe 7 et l’extérieur du boîtier. Ce système 8 comporte un connecteur 16, en forme de rondelle comportant sur sa face supérieure deux ailettes croisées verticales et percée en son centre pour relier la buse de sortie de la mini-pompe 7 à un tuyau 10 de liaison avec une buse 11 de forme cylindrique circulaire complémentaire de la forme de l’orifice 3 pour pouvoir y passer et permettre ainsi la pulvérisation d'une quantité test de parfum hors du boîtier 101, lorsqu'une pression est appliquée sur un les tranches des ailettes du connecteur 16. On pourrait également prévoir, comme dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 1, un capot recouvrant le connecteur 16. En outre, à l’inverse, dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 1 , on pourrait se passer du capot 9 et se contenter, comme dans le mode de la figure 2, du seul connecteur pour former une zone dans laquelle la came agirait pour déclencher une pulvérisation. A remote spraying system 8 makes the junction between the outlet nozzle of the mini pump 7 and the outside of the housing. This system 8 comprises a connector 16, in the form of a washer comprising on its upper face two vertical crossed fins and pierced in its center to connect the outlet nozzle of the mini-pump 7 to a connecting pipe 10 with a nozzle 11 of the form circular cylindrical complementary to the shape of the orifice 3 in order to be able to pass through it and thus allow the spraying of a test quantity of perfume out of the housing 101, when pressure is applied to one of the edges of the fins of the connector 16. It is possible to do so. also provide, as in the embodiment of Figure 1, a cover covering the connector 16. In addition, conversely, in the embodiment of Figure 1, one could do without the cover 9 and be satisfied, as in the mode of FIG. 2, of the single connector to form an area in which the cam would act to trigger a spray.
[0036] Pour mettre en oeuvre une pression sur le connecteur 16, il est prévu des moyens d’application de pression constitués d'une vis sans fin 112 montée rotative sur un axe d'un moteur 113 fixé sur une paroi intérieure du boîtier 101. D'autre part, une plaque 114 est vissée par un écrou 115 de manière à être solidaire de la vis 112. L'agencement de la vis 112, du moteur 113, de la plaque 114 et du flacon 6 dans le boîtier est réalisé de manière à ce que au moins une partie de la plaque 114 se trouve au-dessus du bouton-poussoir 9. To implement pressure on the connector 16, pressure application means are provided consisting of a worm 112 rotatably mounted on an axis of a motor 113 fixed to an inner wall of the housing 101 On the other hand, a plate 114 is screwed by a nut 115 so as to be integral with the screw 112. The arrangement of the screw 112, of the motor 113, of the plate 114 and of the bottle 6 in the housing is achieved. so that at least part of the plate 114 is above the push button 9.
[0037] Dans une première position en hauteur de la plaque 114, elle n’applique pas de pression suffisante sur le connecteur 16 pour que soit actionnée la pompe 7, notamment en étant à distance du connecteur 16. D'autre part, dans une deuxième position en hauteur de la plaque 114, elle applique une pression suffisante sur le connecteur 16 pour que soit actionnée la pompe et assurer ainsi une délivrance de parfum. In a first height position of the plate 114, it does not apply sufficient pressure on the connector 16 for the pump 7 to be actuated, in particular by being at a distance from the connector 16. On the other hand, in a second height position of the plate 114, it applies sufficient pressure on the connector 16 for the pump to be actuated and thus ensure delivery of perfume.
[0038] Lors d'une rotation, par exemple d'un tour ou d’un nombre de tours donné, de la vis sans fin, celle-ci agit sur la position de la plaque en la faisant monter ou descendre, pour la faire passer ainsi d'une position dans laquelle elle n'applique pas de pression à plusieurs positions successives continues pendant lesquelles elle applique une pression qui assure une délivrance d'une quantité de parfum pendant le tour ou le nombre de tour donné à l’avance de la vis sans fin, avant de de revenir dans la position de départ par un même nombre de tour de la vis dans le sens de rotation opposé. During a rotation, for example of one turn or of a given number of turns, of the worm, the latter acts on the position of the plate by causing it to rise or fall, to make it thus pass from a position in which it does not apply no pressure at several continuous successive positions during which it applies a pressure which ensures a delivery of a quantity of perfume during the revolution or the number of turns given in advance of the endless screw, before returning to the position starting with the same number of turns of the screw in the opposite direction of rotation.
[0039] Le dispositif comporte une carte à circuit imprimé 125 et une batterie 26 externe qui sont reliées par des fils électriques de liaison 17 qui assurent la commande électrique du dispositif, notamment la rotation du moteur en fonction des informations envoyées par le capteur 5 de présence. The device comprises a printed circuit board 125 and an external battery 26 which are connected by electrical connecting wires 17 which provide the electrical control of the device, in particular the rotation of the motor according to the information sent by the sensor 5 of presence.
[0040] Ainsi, lorsqu'une personne se présente en face du testeur de parfum, le capteur de présence, à travers la fenêtre ou fente 4, détecte la présence de la personne et envoie les informations de présence de la personne à la carte 125, qui commande le moteur 113 pour une rotation par exemple d'un tour de la vis 112 et donc un déplacement vers le bas de la plaque 114, ce qui a pour effet d'appliquer pendant un intervalle de temps donné une pression sur le connecteur 16 qui actionne ainsi la mini pompe 7 disposée dans l'ouverture du flacon 6, pour ainsi délivrer une quantité de parfum par l'intermédiaire du tuyau 10 intermédiaire, de la buse 11 et de l’orifice 3 à la personne se trouvant en face du point 3 du boîtier. Thus, when a person presents himself in front of the perfume tester, the presence sensor, through the window or slot 4, detects the presence of the person and sends the person's presence information to the card 125 , which controls the motor 113 for a rotation for example of one turn of the screw 112 and therefore a downward displacement of the plate 114, which has the effect of applying during a given time interval a pressure on the connector 16 which thus actuates the mini pump 7 placed in the opening of the bottle 6, thereby delivering a quantity of perfume through the intermediate pipe 10, the nozzle 11 and the orifice 3 to the person in front from point 3 of the box.
[0041] Ainsi, la personne peut tester le parfum sans avoir besoin en quoi que ce soit d'utiliser ses mains. [0041] Thus, the person can test the perfume without needing to use their hands at all.
[0042] D'autre part, on peut régler la position de l’écrou 115 pour régler la position en hauteur de la plaque 114 sur la vis 112 pour adapter la position de la plaque 114 en fonction de la taille ou de la forme du flacon contenant le parfum à tester. En outre, la plaque comporte une rainure 116 qui coopère avec une nervure 117 faisant saillie d’une face intérieure d’une paroi du boîtier pour assurer le guidage stable de la plaque 114 lors de ses déplacements en va et vient. On the other hand, we can adjust the position of the nut 115 to adjust the height position of the plate 114 on the screw 112 to adapt the position of the plate 114 depending on the size or shape of the bottle containing the perfume to be tested. In addition, the plate has a groove 116 which cooperates with a rib 117 projecting from an inner face of a wall of the housing to provide stable guidance of the plate 114 during its reciprocal movements.
[0043] Aux figures 5, 6 et 7, il est représenté un autre mode de réalisation d’un dispositif suivant l’invention. In Figures 5, 6 and 7, there is shown another embodiment of a device according to the invention.
[0044] Ce dispositif comporte un boîtier 1’ de forme parallélépipédique rectangle ouvert d'un côté qui peut être refermé par une plaque 2’ de fermeture permettant l'accès à l'intérieur du boîtier pour y insérer les différents éléments du testeur. Le boîtier 1’ comporte un orifice 3’ de traversée et une fenêtre 4’ de forme circulaire destinée à recevoir un capteur 5’ de présence. This device comprises a housing 1 'of rectangular parallelepiped shape open on one side which can be closed by a closure plate 2' allowing access to the interior of the housing to insert the various elements of the tester. the housing 1 ′ comprises a through orifice 3 ′ and a circular window 4 ′ intended to receive a presence sensor 5 ′.
[0045] Dans le boîtier 1’ est reçu un flacon 6’ de parfum définissant un volume de réception de parfum et comportant une ouverture de sortie dans laquelle est disposée une mini pompe 7’, qui sous l’effet d’une pression verticale, pompe une quantité de parfum et l’expulse hors de son orifice de sortie. In the housing 1 'is received a bottle 6' of perfume defining a volume for receiving perfume and having an outlet opening in which is disposed a mini pump 7 ', which under the effect of vertical pressure, pumps a quantity of perfume and expels it out of its outlet.
[0046] Un système 8’ de pulvérisation déportée réalise la jonction entre l’orifice de sortie de la mini pompe 7’ et l’extérieur du boîtier. Ce système 8’ comporte un capot 9’ et un connecteur 16’ à ailettes croisées, destiné à coopérer avec l’orifice ou buse de sortie de la mini pompe 7’, un tuyau 10’ souple de liaison et une buse 11’ de forme cylindrique circulaire complémentaire de la forme de l’orifice 3’ de traversée pour pouvoir y passer et permettre ainsi la pulvérisation d'une quantité test de parfum hors du boîtier 1’, lorsqu'une pression est appliquée sur le capot 9’ recouvrant le connecteur 16’. An 8 ’remote spraying system makes the junction between the outlet of the mini pump 7’ and the outside of the housing. This system 8 ′ comprises a cover 9 ′ and a connector 16 ′ with crossed fins, intended to cooperate with the outlet orifice or nozzle of the mini pump 7 ′, a flexible connecting pipe 10 ′ and a nozzle 11 ′ of the form circular cylindrical complementary to the shape of the through orifice 3 'in order to be able to pass through it and thus allow the spraying of a test quantity of perfume out of the housing 1', when pressure is applied to the cover 9 'covering the connector 16 '.
[0047] Le connecteur 16’, identique au connecteur 16, comporte une rondelle de base percée en son centre d’un trou 17’ borgne dans lequel est reçu la buse de sortie de la mini pompe 7’ et deux ailettes croisées disposées sur la rondelle de base par leur chant, un canal 18’ de traversée traversant la rondelle de l’extérieur pour déboucher latéralement dans le trou 17’ borgne. Ce connecteur 16’ a pour fonction d’une part de permettre la transmission d’une pression sur la mini pompe 7’ pour le pompage par celle-ci d’une dose de parfum et d’autre part d’assurer, par le canal de traversée, la communication pour les fluides entre l’orifice de sortie de la mini pompe 7’ et le tuyau 10’, l’extrémité de ce dernier étant reçue dans le canal 17’ de traversée. The connector 16 ', identical to the connector 16, comprises a base washer pierced in its center with a blind hole 17' in which is received the outlet nozzle of the mini pump 7 'and two crossed fins arranged on the base washer by their song, a through channel 18 'passing through the washer from the outside to open laterally into the blind hole 17'. The function of this connector 16 'is on the one hand to allow the transmission of a pressure on the mini pump 7' for the pumping by the latter of a dose of perfume and on the other hand to ensure, through the channel feedthrough, the communication for fluids between the outlet of the mini pump 7 'and the pipe 10', the end of the latter being received in the passage channel 17 '.
[0048] Pour mettre en oeuvre une pression sur le capot 9’, il est prévu des moyens 12’ électromécanique d’application de pression. Ces moyens sont formés d’un boîtier ayant un couvercle vissé au reste du boîtier (à la figure 8, le couvercle a été retiré pour montrer l’intérieur du boîtier). To apply pressure on the cover 9 ’, electromechanical means 12’ for applying pressure are provided. These means consist of a housing having a cover screwed to the rest of the housing (in Figure 8, the cover has been removed to show the interior of the housing).
[0049] Dans le boîtier, une roue dentée 2201 est entraînée en rotation par l’axe d’un moteur pas à pas, qui effectue alternativement une rotation dans un sens puis dans l’autre. Un pignon 2202 solidaire en rotation de la roue dentée 2201 engrène une roue dentée secondaire 2204 qui coopère, par un plot 2205 avec une fente 2203 formée dans une tige 2206 dont une extrémité est destinée à venir frapper le capot 9’ et, par l’intermédiaire du connecteurs 16’, déclencher la pulvérisation d’une dose de parfum par la mini pompe disposée dans l’ouverture du flacon. In the housing, a toothed wheel 2201 is rotated by the axis of a stepping motor, which rotates alternately in one direction and then in the other. A pinion 2202 integral in rotation with the toothed wheel 2201 engages a secondary toothed wheel 2204 which cooperates, by a stud 2205 with a slot 2203 formed in a rod 2206, one end of which is intended to strike the cover 9 'and, via the connectors 16', trigger the spraying of a dose of perfume by the mini pump placed in the opening of the bottle.
[0050] Lorsque la roue dentée 2201 tourne dans un sens, elle entraîne en rotation l’autre roue dentée 2204 dans un sens opposé, ce qui a pour effet de déplacer le plot 2205 dans une direction parallèle à la tige 2206 et ainsi transmettre à cette tige un mouvement vers l’extérieur du boîtier. Le mouvement inverse de la roue 2201 a pour effet de faire se déplacer la tige dans l’autre sens, pour la faire rentrer dans le boîtier. When the toothed wheel 2201 rotates in one direction, it rotates the other toothed wheel 2204 in an opposite direction, which has the effect of moving the stud 2205 in a direction parallel to the rod 2206 and thus transmitting to this rod a movement towards the outside of the case. The reverse movement of wheel 2201 causes the rod to move in the opposite direction, to fit it into the housing.
[0051] Le dispositif comporte une carte à circuit imprimé 15’ et une batterie externe (non représentée aux figures) qui assurent la commande électrique du dispositif, notamment le moteur pas à pas en fonction des informations envoyées par le capteur 5’ de présence. The device comprises a printed circuit board 15 ’and an external battery (not shown in the figures) which provide electrical control of the device, in particular the stepping motor according to the information sent by the presence sensor 5’.
[0052] Ainsi, lorsqu'une personne se présente en face du testeur de parfum, le capteur 5’ de présence sans fil, notamment à Infra Rouge, à travers la fenêtre 4’, détecte la présence de la personne et envoie les informations de présence de la personne à la carte 15’, qui commande le moteur pas à pas, ce qui a pour effet d'appliquer pendant un intervalle de temps donné une pression sur le capot 9’ du poussoir et qui, par l’intermédiaire du connecteur 16’, actionne ainsi la mini pompe 7’ disposée dans l'ouverture du flacon 6’, pour ainsi délivrer une quantité de parfum par l'intermédiaire de la buse de sortie de la mini-pompe, du tuyau 10’ intermédiaire, de la buse 11’ et de l’orifice 3’ à la personne se trouvant en face du point 3’ du boîtier. Thus, when a person presents himself in front of the perfume tester, the wireless presence sensor 5 ′, in particular infrared, through the window 4 ′, detects the presence of the person and sends the information of presence of the person at the card 15 ', who controls the stepping motor, which has the effect of applying during a given time interval a pressure on the cover 9' of the pusher and who, via the connector 16 ', thus actuates the mini pump 7' arranged in the opening of the bottle 6 ', thereby delivering a quantity of perfume through the outlet nozzle of the mini-pump, the intermediate pipe 10', the nozzle 11 'and from orifice 3' to the person in front of point 3 'of the housing.
[0053] Ainsi, la personne peut tester le parfum sans avoir besoin en quoi que ce soit d'utiliser ses mains. [0053] Thus, the person can test the perfume without needing to use their hands at all.
[0054] Les boîtiers 1 , 1 ’ et 101 ont chacun une hauteur de 190mm, tandis que le flacon a une hauteur de réservoir de 100mm. Les boîtiers 1 et 101 sont de section carrée, ayant donc une même longueur et largeur, ou côté, de 130mm. De même, le réservoir du flacon est de section carrée de côté égal à 70mm. En outre, comme représentée à la figure 5, on peut prévoir de fixer à la face avant du boîtier une ou plusieurs façades décoratives et/ou film ou feuille décorative, notamment en lien avec le parfum à tester. [0055] Dans la présente invention, on entend par le fait que la buse est déporté par rapport au flacon le fait que la buse est à distance du flacon, notamment à distance, en hauteur et/ou latéralement, de la pompe reçue dans le goulot ou orifice de sortie du flacon, de préférence par le fait que au moins l’extrémité de la buse se trouve latéralement à l’extérieur de l’enveloppe virtuelle du flacon formée par l’ensemble des droites verticales passant par les points les plus extérieurs du flacon, encore plus préférablement par le fait que l’ensemble de la buse se trouve latéralement à l’extérieur de l’enveloppe virtuelle du goulot ou orifice de sortie du flacon dans lequel est reçue la pompe, et encore plus préférablement par le fait que l’ensemble de la buse se trouve latéralement à l’extérieur de l’enveloppe virtuelle du flacon formée par l’ensemble des droites verticales passant par les points les plus latéralement extérieurs du flacon. The boxes 1, 1 'and 101 each have a height of 190mm, while the bottle has a reservoir height of 100mm. The boxes 1 and 101 are of square section, therefore having the same length and width, or side, of 130mm. Likewise, the reservoir of the bottle has a square section with a side equal to 70mm. In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, provision can be made to attach to the front face of the case one or more decorative facades and / or decorative film or sheet, in particular in connection with the perfume to be tested. In the present invention, by the fact that the nozzle is offset relative to the bottle is meant that the nozzle is at a distance from the bottle, in particular at a distance, in height and / or laterally, from the pump received in the neck or outlet of the bottle, preferably by the fact that at least the end of the nozzle is located laterally outside the virtual envelope of the bottle formed by the set of vertical straight lines passing through the most exterior of the bottle, even more preferably by the fact that the whole of the nozzle is located laterally outside the virtual envelope of the neck or outlet of the bottle in which the pump is received, and even more preferably by the that the whole of the nozzle is located laterally outside the virtual envelope of the bottle formed by the set of vertical straight lines passing through the most laterally exterior points of the bottle.
[0056] Ainsi, comme on peut le voir à la figure 2A, l’ensemble de la buse 11 est à distance de la pompe reçue dans le goulot ou orifice de sortie du flacon aussi bien dans la direction en hauteur que latéralement. En outre, l’extrémité de pulvérisation de la buse est à l’extérieur de l’enveloppe définie par les deux droites D1 et D2 verticales les plus latérales qui sont confondues avec les surfaces extérieures verticales du flacon. Thus, as can be seen in Figure 2A, the assembly of the nozzle 11 is at a distance from the pump received in the neck or outlet of the bottle both in the direction upwards and laterally. In addition, the spray end of the nozzle is on the outside of the envelope defined by the two most lateral vertical lines D1 and D2 which coincide with the vertical outer surfaces of the bottle.
[0057] A la figure 7, il est représenté, en coupe, l’enveloppe virtuelle comportant les deux droites D1 et D2 verticales en pointillés passant par les points P1 et P2 les plus à l’extérieur latéralement du flacon, et la buse de pulvérisation dans son ensemble est à l’extérieur de cette enveloppe virtuelle.
