Abstract

L'invention concerne une pompe à mousse rechargeable comportant un récipient à substance liquide comprenant un ou plusieurs agent moussant, le récipient étant obturé par un dispositif de distribution caractérisé en ce que le dispositif de distribution comprend un passage de sortie comportant un ou plusieurs éléments (7a, 7b) de formation de mousse, communiquant avec un élément formant d'une part un clapet obturateur et d'autre part avec un passage (6) de débit variable associé à un pointeau, ce passage débouchant par un tube (5) plongeur dans le liquide (9), le récipient (1) est en matériau élastique déformable et le clapet obturateur se ferme lorsque le récipient est déformé pour chasser par le passage (6) à débit variable le liquide qui se transforme en mousse et s'ouvre pour laisser entrer de l'air dans le récipient.

Figure imgaf001
The invention relates to a rechargeable foam pump comprising a liquid substance container comprising one or more foaming agents, the container being closed by a dispensing device characterized in that the dispensing device comprises an outlet passage comprising one or more elements ( 7a, 7b), communicating with an element forming on the one hand a shutter valve and on the other hand with a passage (6) of variable flow associated with a needle, this passage opening through a tube (5) plunger in the liquid (9), the container (1) is of elastically deformable material and the shutter valve closes when the container is deformed to drive through the passage (6) at a variable rate of the liquid which turns into foam and opens to let air in the container.
