Definitions
- the subject of the invention is a device for storage and distribution of one or more liquid products or less viscous, such as a perfume or cream, which may be advantageously distributed in the form of a "spray” (jet in fine droplets) and in particular in mixture with another product.
- the invention relates to a device of the distribution pump type.
- the user will have a device of a particularly easy construction to handle and reliable, which does not have to be fixed on a annex container containing the product and which responds with elsewhere the requirements of simple manufacturing, with a reduced number of elements, for a low cost price.
- the storage volume In connection with maintenance problems product isolated from a secondary fluid until the first use, the storage volume will be maintained hermetically sealed by at least the insulation membrane until it is opened by the appendix.
- This membrane will advantageously be a sealing film perforable for the first use of the product.
- a product passage extends, at least towards a end communicating with the cavity, substantially along the axis of movement and has a section at this point and / or a volume close to that and / or that of the appendix so that when the parts are brought together, the appendix moves in the passage forming a piston. So the product will be even better guided and pushed towards the exit area. To further promote this guidance, the appendix will have longitudinal fins.
- the part mobile delimits the storage volume of the main product, and the cavity of the fixed part defines a secondary volume storage of a secondary product for distribution in mixing with the main product, said membrane insulation then being interposed between the two volumes.
- This particularly simple construction allows to distribute a mixture of two products (for example main product / pre-compressed gas, which is notably sought to ensure good vaporization of the product main).
- one of the parts of the device is arbitrarily called “fixed” and the other "mobile”, even if it is clear that each piece can be moved closer to or apart from each other.
- the invention applies to devices for storage and distribution of cosmetic products and / or perfumery, including those in the pharmacy sector.
- the device constitutes a consumer sample or proposed "tester” at the point of sale to test the product.
- the product dispensed (called “main product”) can be a liquid or a more or less pasty or viscous substance (for example example a perfume, a milk, a gel or even a cream).
- the device illustrated in the figures is used for distribution of the main product (liquid) mixed with a "secondary product", in particular a gas.
- the device 1 is shown as a whole, assembled. It has a general shape relatively flattened, here substantially circular, and dimensions such that it can be easily held and handled with one hand. It includes a first fixed part or base 4, placed on plane 2, to which is linked a second movable part 6 along an axis of movement 8.
- Exhibit 4 in this case made in one piece (in molded plastic, for example polyethylene), has a bottom 10 which is advantageously domed with a concavity turned towards the plane 2, to allow easy accommodation with a finger the user (shown in dotted lines 5) below the bottom.
- a first wall 12 stands from the bottom, here in its central part and delimits a cavity 14 open at the top part.
- This wall 12 is presented here under the shape of a tube which has towards its free end a annular shoulder 16 facing the cavity for the retaining a piston detailed below.
- An appendix 18 stands from the bottom, substantially parallel to axis 8, being arranged inside the cavity 14. It advantageously takes the form general of a tapered or pointed cone or stem its upper end.
- This appendix contains preferably longitudinal or oriented fins 20 substantially along axis 8 which promote the mixing of products and guide them substantially axially.
- Base 4 also has a crown peripheral 22 erected from the bottom to guide in moving the moving part 6.
- Exhibit 6 in this case includes a body main or pusher 24, here formed in one piece from a material molded plastic, which carries a cartridge 28.
- the body 24 has an upper portion circular whose surface is advantageously wavy for form recesses 26a and 26b for the fingers (shown in dotted lines 5) of the user.
- This upper portion has an outlet 38 for the produces and ends with a drooping border 34 which slides along the crown 22 when moving relative of parts 4 and 6.
- This border is extended by a tamper-evident ring 30 to which it is connected by an area of least resistance 32, easily tearable by the user.
- the upper portion also has a falling extension 36, formed opposite the tube 12 and which delimits a cavity for housing the cartridge 28.
- This cavity communicates with orifice 38, at the end of connection of the extension with the upper portion and is open at the opposite end 36a.
- the extension On the side of her free end 36a, the extension constitutes a piston hollow which extends substantially along the axis of the tube 12 (in the species axis 8) and which is capable of sliding so waterproof inside the cavity 14.
- the piston has an outwardly facing shoulder 40 which cooperates with the retaining shoulder 16 of the wall 12. A once engaged in cavity 14 and even when it is stationary, the piston permanently compresses the fluid "secondary" (gas such as air) contained in this cavity.
- the piston is immobilized in a high position in cavity 14, until the first application of product, thanks to the extractable ring 30 which is supported against the bottom 10 of part 4 and thus prevents any approximation of parts 4 and 6. All means of maintaining the piston in high position, equivalent to ring 30, would also agree.
- the cylindrical reservoir 28 which extends substantially along axis 8 has a lower part hollowed out 37 which here delimits a chamber for product 42 and, on its external face, at least one communicating groove or groove with the recess 37, in this case two grooves 43a and 43b which meet at their upper end.
- This passage includes the chamber 42 and, in this case, at least two channels 44a and 44b for evacuating mixed products outwards.
- Each channel that communicates, on one side, with chamber 42 and on the other side with orifice 38 is defined by one of the grooves and the inner face of the extension wall.
- these channels have a shape and a section such that they allow the vaporization of products.
- they have a much smaller section to that of the recess 37 and extend substantially parallel from chamber 42 to end, each, by a bent part 45a, 45b which leads to orifice 38.
- each channel has a turbulence zone 46a, 46b.
- the interior passage is filled with product main and forms a storage volume which is advantageously closed until the first use, to avoid in particular any contamination or deterioration of the product, this communicating passage, for the distribution of main product and gas, with cavity 14.
- the volume storage is closed by waterproofing membranes 48 and 50 which are presented here in the form of a continuous film or a film (for example aluminum and / or polyethylene).
- the first insulation membrane 48 suitable for being irreversibly opened by the appendix, is welded or otherwise attached to the cartridge base to seal the chamber 42.
- This membrane blocks the interior passage to the first use of the product, extending substantially perpendicular to axis 8. It is interposed between the main product storage volume and volume secondary gas storage which constitutes the cavity 14 and thus separates the main product from the gas.
- This membrane 48 is arranged opposite the appendix while being moved away from it when the piston is in its high position. She is interposed between the appendix and the orifice 38 while the second membrane 50 covers and closes orifice 38.
- the appendage has a length sufficient to move inside the cavity of the extension and recess 37, during the approximation parts 4 and 6, and further has a section and / or a volume slightly lower than that and / or that of the empty space 37 and the lower end of the cavity housing to enter it by forming a second piston.
- the device will include means authorizing the distribution of the dose of the product main in several stages, such as stops 52 (only shown in Figures 3 and 4) formed on the inner wall cavity 14 for sliding the piston in stages, the passage of a stop operating by exerting a force more important on pusher 24.
- stops 52 only shown in Figures 3 and 4
- FIGS. 1 to 4 variants of the device of the invention are shown. They distinguish from the device of FIGS. 1 to 4 essentially in that, until the first use, the product main is no longer stored in the drainage channels but only in the 42 'product chamber, the second membrane no longer disposed on orifice 38 but at inside the extension being interposed between the channels and the product chamber. It is no longer formed through recess 37 but is located under the cartridge 28, inside the hollow piston.
- Chamber 42 ' is delimited laterally either by the inner face of the tubular wall of the extension ( Figures 5 to 8) either by the wall of a tubular tank 54 locked inside the piston (figure 9).
- This room is hermetically sealed to its lower end by the first membrane 48 'and at its upper end by the second membrane 50 '.
- the membrane 50 ′ can be fixed either to the base of the cartridge ( Figures 5 to 7), either at the wall of the extension which will then include advantageously an annular shoulder 60 for fixing the edge of this membrane (Figure 8), the 48 'membrane which facing the perforation appendage being fixed at the end lower piston.
- the two membranes are attached to the lower and upper ends of the tank 54.
- the construction of the device of the invention, with its cartridge housed in the body 24, allows a easy filling with main product.
- the Figure 9 mounting allows flexible adaptation and easy to manufacture the device the needs of the customers since the reservoir 54 containing the product desired can be mounted at the last moment inside the body 24 according to orders.
- the user begins by tearing off the ring 30 which until then guaranteed the inviolability of the device and remove the tab 50. It then places the thumb under the hollow bottom and two other fingers in the housings 26a and 26b then exerts pressure on parts 4 and 6 to bring one closer to the other.
- the descent of the piston into the cavity 14 causes a slight compression of the gas then the perforation of the membrane by the perforator 18, which then engages in chamber 42.
- the fins 20 guide the air in the chamber 42 and favor its mixing with the main product.
- the piston and the perforator exert pressure on the products which circulate in mixture in the channels evacuation until evacuated outside in the form fine droplets (spray).
- the piston 36 and perforator 18 respectively occupy practically the entire volume of the cavity 14 and of the cavity from extension 36, to empty space 37, for authorize the spraying of (almost) the entire dose contained products. After distribution of the dose of product, the device is discarded.
- the user begins by simply removing the ring 30 then exerts a force on the parts to bring them closer.
- the descent of the piston into the cavity 14 compresses the gas that comes into contact with the main product when the first membrane 48 'is opened by the appendix.
- the second membrane 50 ′ may be chosen from so that from a certain pressure exerted on she by products she tears herself apart. If not, it will be punctured by the appendix once it will have passed through chamber 42 '( Figure 7). Once the membrane 50 'open, the mixture circulates in the passage up to orifice 38 by entering space 37 of the cartridge then in the evacuation channels.
- the invention is in no way limited to the embodiments described above. So in variant the device could distribute only one product, for example contained in the cavity 14.
- the cavity 14 could contain the main product, the secondary product being contained within the passage of the moving part.
- the membrane 48 could have a slot bounded by at least two lips that naturally close the membrane as long as this is removed from the appendix. When the appendix comes into contact with the membrane, it pushes on his lips spreading them apart to open the membrane.
