Description
La présente invention concerne un embout distributeur de produit, notamment de mousse, pour récipient pressurisé à valve.The present invention relates to a nozzle for dispensing product, especially foam, for pressurized container with valve.
De tels embouts distributeurs sont déjà connus pour être utilisés par exemple sur des récipients contenant des mousses de tenue capillaire.Such dispensing tips are already known to be used for example on containers containing holding foams capillary.
Ces embouts distributeurs connus comportent un canal intérieur qui achemine le produit conditionné dans le récipient depuis la valve de ce dernier jusqu'à un orifice de distribution débouchant vers l'extérieur de l'embout.These known dispensing tips have a channel inside which conveys the conditioned product into the container from the valve of the latter to a dispensing orifice opening out towards the outside of the nozzle.
Selon la forme de ce canal et selon que le récipient est utilisé avec son orifice de distribution dirigé vers le bas ou vers le haut, il peut subsister à l'intérieur du canal, après délivrance d'une dose de produit, une quantité faible et néanmoins non négligeable de ce produit.Depending on the shape of this channel and on whether the container is used with its dispensing opening pointing down or down high, it can remain inside the canal, after delivery of a dose of product, a small and nevertheless significant amount of this product.
L'orifice de distribution étant généralement dirigé vers le haut dans la position au repos du récipient, la valve se situant alors en bas du canal, le produit ainsi déposé sur les parois du canal finit par s'écouler et s'accumule en partie inférieure de ce dernier, ce qui peut à la longue l'obturer dans ses parties les plus étroites, notamment au voisinage de la valve du récipient.The dispensing opening is generally directed towards the high in the rest position of the container, the valve then being at the bottom of the canal, the product thus deposited on the walls of the canal ends by flowing and accumulates in the lower part of the latter, which can in the long term close it in its narrowest parts, especially in the vicinity of the container valve.
On connaít par GB-A-1199143 un embout distributeur de mousse de rasage comprenant un poussoir agencé pour aspirer la mousse contenue dans un conduit de sortie débouchant sur l'orifice de distribution lors de son mouvement de retour vers sa position de repos, afin d'éviter l'apparition d'un débordement de mousse à l'extérieur de l'embout après utilisation. Ce dernier présente une coupelle interne pour recueillir la mousse aspirée, au centre de laquelle débouche l'orifice de sortie d'une tubulure de valve par lequel la mousse est distribuée à l'intérieur de l'embout lorsqu'une pression est exercée sur le poussoir. Cet embout ne convient pas pour distribuer une mousse de tenue capillaire contenant des substances qui durcissent en séchant car ces dernières formeraient un dépôt dans ladite coupelle qui obturerait la tubulure de valve. We know from GB-A-1199143 a foam dispenser tip shaving device comprising a pusher arranged for sucking the foam contained in an outlet duct leading to the orifice of distribution during its movement back to its position of rest, in order to avoid the appearance of an overflow of foam at the outside of the nozzle after use. The latter presents a internal cup to collect the suctioned foam, in the center of which opens the outlet orifice of a valve pipe by which foam is distributed inside the nozzle when a pressure is exerted on the pusher. This tip is not suitable for distribute a hair holding foam containing substances which harden as they dry because they would form a deposit in said cup which would seal the valve tubing.
On a proposé dans FR-A-2640942 un embout distributeur de produit alimentaire, notamment de café, thé ou boisson chocolatée soluble, comportant un poussoir définissant à l'intérieur de l'embout une chambre de volume variable, de telle sorte qu'un mouvement de retour du poussoir à sa position de repos aspire le produit contenu dans le conduit de sortie et évite qu'il ne reste du produit au niveau de l'orifice de distribution. Le poussoir ferme le conduit de sortie en position de repos. Le produit alimentaire contenu dans l'embout distributeur est ainsi isolé à l'intérieur de ce dernier lorsque le poussoir est au repos et ne peut sécher rapidement. Un tel embout distributeur est de structure relativement complexe.FR-A-2640942 has proposed a nozzle for dispensing food product, especially coffee, tea or chocolate drink soluble, comprising a pusher defining inside the end piece a chamber of variable volume, so that a movement of return of the pusher to its rest position sucks up the contained product in the outlet pipe and prevents any product remaining at the level of the dispensing orifice. The pusher closes the outlet duct in the rest position. The food product contained in the mouthpiece distributor is thus isolated inside the latter when the pusher is at rest and cannot dry quickly. Such a tip distributor has a relatively complex structure.
La présente invention vise à fournir un embout distributeur de construction simple et dont le canal ne présente pas le risque de s'obturer par accumulation de produit quel que soit le produit conditionné, notamment des mousses de tenue capillaire, lesquelles contiennent des substances qui durcissent en séchant, par exemple des résines.The present invention aims to provide a dispensing tip simple in construction and whose channel does not present the risk of seal by accumulation of product whatever the product conditioned, in particular hair holding foams, which contain substances which harden on drying, e.g. resins.
La présente invention a pour objet un embout distributeur de produit pour récipient pressurisé à valve, comportant une tige de manoeuvre pourvue d'un canal s'étendant librement depuis a valve du récipient jusqu'à un orifice de distribution débouchant vers l'extérieur de l'embout, caractérisé par le fait que la tige de manoeuvre de la valve comporte au moins une cavité de collecte située, en position de repos du récipient, en dessous de zones du canal dans lesquelles le produit est susceptible d'être retenu lorsqu'il circule dans le canal, de manière à ce que le produit ainsi retenu s'écoule et s'accumule dans cette cavité de collecte lorsque le récipient est ultérieurement laissé au repos.The subject of the present invention is a dispensing nozzle for product for pressurized container with valve, comprising a rod maneuver provided with a channel extending freely from a valve of the container up to a dispensing orifice opening to the outside of the nozzle, characterized by the fact that the valve operating rod has at least one collection cavity located in the rest position of the container, below areas of the channel in which the product is likely to be retained when it circulates in the canal, so that the product thus retained flows and accumulates in this collection cavity when the container is later left to rest.
L'embout distributeur selon l'invention permet d'éviter que le produit déposé dans le canal ne s'écoule et s'accumule dans ses parties les plus étroites, notamment au voisinage de la valve du récipient.The dispensing nozzle according to the invention makes it possible to avoid that the product deposited in the channel does not flow and accumulates in its narrowest parts, especially near the valve of the container.
A cet effet, la cavité de collecte selon l'invention a pour fonction de recueillir le produit qui s'écoule le long des parois du canal. To this end, the collection cavity according to the invention has for function of collecting the product flowing along the walls of the channel.
Selon l'invention, cette cavité est dimensionnée de manière telle qu'elle puisse contenir suffisamment de produit pour ne jamais être remplie jusqu'à épuisement du contenu du récipient.According to the invention, this cavity is dimensioned so such that it can contain enough product to never be filled until the contents of the container are used up.
La quantité de produit susceptible d'être retenue dans le canal et de s'accumuler dans ladite cavité de collecte dépend notamment de la nature du produit, de la fréquence d'utilisation et de la contenance du récipient, de la forme du canal et du type d'orifice de distribution qui est placé à l'extrémité du canal.The quantity of product likely to be retained in the channel and build up in said collection cavity depends including the nature of the product, the frequency of use and the capacity of the container, the shape of the channel and the type of orifice which is placed at the end of the channel.
Dans un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention, la cavité de collecte se situe dans une partie coudée du canal, au droit d'une branche verticale de ce dernier aboutissant à l'orifice de distribution.In a first embodiment of the invention, the collection cavity is located in a bent part of the canal, at the right of a vertical branch of the latter leading to the orifice of distribution.
Dans un deuxième mode de réalisation de l'invention, la cavité de collecte se situe en partie inférieure du canal, à un niveau plus bas que l'orifice de la valve. Ainsi, à la manière d'un siphon, la cavité de collecte recueille les écoulements de produit en évitant que ce dernier ne s'accumule à hauteur de l'orifice de la valve.In a second embodiment of the invention, the collection cavity is located in the lower part of the canal, at a level lower than the valve orifice. So, like a siphon, the collection cavity collects product flows, avoiding that the latter does not accumulate at the level of the valve orifice.
Dans un troisième mode de réalisation de l'invention, la cavité s'étend au voisinage de l'orifice de distribution.In a third embodiment of the invention, the cavity extends in the vicinity of the dispensing orifice.
Ce mode de réalisation est particulièrement indiqué dans le cas où l'orifice de distribution est muni d'une grille ou éclateur, lequel constitue une zone privilégiée de rétention du produit.This embodiment is particularly indicated in the case where the dispensing orifice is fitted with a grid or spark gap, which constitutes a privileged area of product retention.
Selon un quatrième mode de réalisation de l'invention, dans lequel le canal comporte une branche inclinée, la cavité de collecte se situe en partie inférieure de la branche inclinée du canal.According to a fourth embodiment of the invention, in which the channel has an inclined branch, the collecting cavity is located in the lower part of the inclined branch of the canal.
L'invention a encore pour objet l'utilisation d'un embout précité dans un récipient à valve pour la distribution d'un produit, notamment une mousse de tenue capillaire, contenant des substances qui durcissent en séchant.Another subject of the invention is the use of a nozzle. above in a valve container for dispensing a product, in particular a capillary holding foam, containing substances which harden as it dries.
Dans le but de mieux faire comprendre l'invention, on va en décrire maintenant quatre modes de réalisation donnés à titre d'exemple non limitatifs en référence au dessin annexé dans lequel :
- la figure 1 est une vue en coupe axiale d'un embout distributeur selon un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention,
- la figure 2 est une vue en coupe axiale d'un embout distributeur selon un deuxième mode de réalisation de l'invention,
- la figure 3 est une vue en coupe axiale d'un embout distributeur selon un troisième mode de réalisation de l'invention, et
- la figure 4 est une vue en coupe axiale d'un embout distributeur selon un quatrième mode de réalisation de l'invention.
- FIG. 1 is a view in axial section of a dispensing nozzle according to a first embodiment of the invention,
- FIG. 2 is a view in axial section of a dispensing nozzle according to a second embodiment of the invention,
- FIG. 3 is a view in axial section of a dispensing nozzle according to a third embodiment of the invention, and
- Figure 4 is an axial sectional view of a dispensing nozzle according to a fourth embodiment of the invention.
Sur le dessin, l'embout distributeur comporte une collerette
1 pour son montage sur un récipient pressurisé non représenté. Une
lame 2 est assujettie à cette collerette 1 par l'intermédiaire d'une
zone d'articulation 3 qui est en fait une partie amincie de la lame 2.In the drawing, the dispensing nozzle has a collar
1 for mounting on a pressurized container, not shown. A
La lame 2 est solidaire d'une tige de manoeuvre 4a, 4b,
laquelle est, de ce fait, mobile en rotation autour de la zone
d'articulation 3 selon un angle de rotation très faible, de sorte que
le mouvement de la tige de manoeuvre peut être assimilé à un mouvement
de translation axial. La tige de manoeuvre est constituée dans
l'exemple décrit par l'assemblage de deux parties 4a et 4b.The
Un bouton-poussoir 5 permet d'exercer une pression sur la
tige de manoeuvre 4a, 4b pour l'enfoncer dans un corps de valve 6
où elle est repoussée en direction opposée par un ressort 7.A
Le corps de valve 6 comporte une ouverture 8a dans
laquelle pénètre la tige de manoeuvre et, à l'opposé de cette
ouverture 8a, une embouchure 8b destinée à recevoir un tube non
représenté plongeant dans le produit conditionné.The
Un canal 9 est prévu à l'intérieur de la tige de manoeuvre
4a, 4b.A
L'extrémité du canal 9 située du côté du récipient comporte
un passage 10 de petit diamètre.The end of the
En position de repos, le ressort 7 repousse la tige de
manoeuvre 4a, 4b vers le haut, en prenant appui sur une collerette
11 qui obture l'orifice 8a du corps de valve 6. Le passage 10 est
alors fermé et le produit demeure dans le récipient pressurisé non
représenté.In the rest position, the
Lorsque l'on exerce une pression sur le bouton-poussoir 5,
la tige de manoeuvre 4a, 4b descend dans le corps de valve 6 et
met l'orifice 10 en communication avec l'intérieur du corps de valve.When pressure is exerted on the
Le produit peut alors pénétrer par le passage 10 dans le
canal 9 où il est acheminé jusqu'à un orifice de distribution 12.The product can then enter through
Dans les deux modes de réalisation des figures 1 et 2, le
canal 9 est essentiellement vertical. In the two embodiments of FIGS. 1 and 2, the
De ce fait, le peu de produit qui est retenu à l'intérieur
du canal a tendance à s'écouler sur toute la longueur de ce dernier et
à s'accumuler au voisinage du passage de petit diamètre 10.Therefore, the little product that is retained inside
of the canal tends to flow along the entire length of the latter and
to accumulate in the vicinity of the
Pour limiter la quantité de produit susceptible de
s'accumuler au voisinage du passage 10, le canal 9 comporte, dans le
mode de réalisation de la figure 1, une cavité de collecte 13 située
au droit de la partie supérieure verticale de grand diamètre du canal
9.To limit the quantity of product likely to
accumulate in the vicinity of
Ainsi, le produit retenu par l'orifice de distribution et
déposé sur les parois de la partie supérieure du canal 9 vient
s'accumuler dans la cavité de récupération 13. D'infimes quantités de
produit accumulé dans la partie inférieure du canal 9 peuvent
s'écouler jusqu'au voisinage de l'orifice 10 mais ce, en quantité trop
faible pour entraíner un risque de bouchage.Thus, the product retained by the dispensing orifice and
deposited on the walls of the upper part of
Dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 2, une cavité de
collecte 14 est prévue en partie inférieure du canal 9, dans un plot
15 qui sert de guide au ressort 7.In the embodiment of FIG. 2, a cavity of
Ainsi, la totalité du produit qui s'écoule dans le canal 9
est recueillie dans la cavité de collecte 14, en dessous du niveau du
passage de l'orifice 10.So all of the product flowing in
Le mode de réalisation de la figure 3 correspond au cas où
l'orifice de distribution 12 est muni d'une grille ou éclateur non
représenté.The embodiment of FIG. 3 corresponds to the case where
the dispensing
Une telle grille ou éclateur constitue une zone privilégiée de rétention du produit conditionné.Such a grid or spark gap constitutes a privileged area retention of the packaged product.
De ce fait, il constitue une source importante d'écoulement
du produit dans le canal 9.Therefore, it constitutes an important source of flow
of product in
Une cavité annulaire de collecte 16 est prévue autour de
l'extrémité supérieure du canal 9 pour recueillir le produit retenu
par la grille de l'orifice de distribution 12.An
Dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 4, le canal 9
comporte une branche 9a inclinée.In the embodiment of Figure 4, the
Dans ce cas, une cavité de récupération 17 est prévue à la
partie inférieure de cette branche inclinée 9a pour recueillir le
produit s'écoulant de l'orifice de distribution 12 et le long des
parois de cette branche inclinée 9a du canal. In this case, a
Les modes de réalisation décrits ci-dessus ont été présentés isolément les uns des autres.The embodiments described above have been presented in isolation from each other.
Cependant, il est bien évident que pour améliorer l'efficacité du dispositif, on peut avantageusement les combiner en plaçant une pluralité de cavités de récupération sur un même canal.However, it is obvious that to improve the effectiveness of the device, it is advantageous to combine them by placing a plurality of recovery cavities on the same channel.
Par exemple, on peut combiner les trois modes de réalisation
des figures 1 à 3 pour placer simultanément sur un même canal 9 les
cavités de récupération 13, 14 et 16.For example, we can combine the three embodiments
Figures 1 to 3 to place simultaneously on the
Il est bien entendu que les modes de réalisation qui viennent d'être décrits ne présentent aucun caractère limitatif et qu'ils pourront recevoir toute modification désirable sans sortir pour cela du cadre de l'invention.It is understood that the embodiments which have just been described have no limiting character and that they will be able to receive any desirable modification without leaving for that of the scope of the invention.
