Definitions
- the document EP-B-1 954 596 describes an example of such a distributor, which has the disadvantages that on the one hand, the direction of emission of the product by the outlet nozzle can be poorly controlled by the user, and secondly, the user can put fingers in front of the outlet nozzle of the product thus hindering the dispensing of product.
- the present invention is intended to overcome these disadvantages.
- a distributor of the kind in question is characterized in that the outlet nozzle has an output oriented in the longitudinal direction and is adapted to come into axial abutment. against an integral part of the outer shell during an actuation of the dispensing head in the use position of the dispenser, in that the first end of the tank is connected to a pusher by a drive mechanism adapted to selectively retract the pusher and the outlet nozzle into the outer shell in the storage position and axially remove said pusher and the outlet nozzle from the outer shell in the use position.
- the dispenser is actuated in the manner of a pen by pressing the pusher opposite the dispensing nozzle, which on the one hand, allows the user to orient very precisely the dispensing liquid product, and secondly generally avoids the user putting his fingers in front of the outlet nozzle.
- the dispenser 1 of liquid product according to the invention can be for example in a form similar to that of a pen, extending in a longitudinal direction X between a first end la provided with a pusher 2 (see figures 1 and 2 ) and a second end 1b provided with a product outlet nozzle 3.
- the distributor 1 comprises a front portion A extending near the first end 1a and a rear portion B extending near the second end 1b .
- the pusher 2 and the nozzle 3 are retracted inside an outer shell 4 which has a substantially cylindrical general shape extending in the longitudinal direction X and forms the barrel of the pen.
- the constituent parts of the dispenser 1 may be made for example of molded plastic, so that this characteristic will not be repeated below for each of these parts.
- the central body 5 contains a product reservoir 8 of generally cylindrical shape, extending in the longitudinal direction X between an end 8a close to the first endpiece 6 and an end 8b close to the second endpiece 7.
- This product reservoir 8 is filled with liquid product P to be dispensed, this liquid product may optionally be more or less viscous.
- the liquid product in question may be a perfume, a cosmetic care product and / or make-up, in particular in the form of an emulsion or a gel, a pharmaceutical product or the like.
- the end 8a of the tank 8 is open, while the end 8b of the tank is extended by a neck 8c on which is mounted a dispensing head 9 such as a hand pump or the like.
- the tank 8 is further closed by a piston 11 slidably mounted inside the tank in the direction X to delimit a volume closed closed liquid product P.
- the dispensing head 9 operates without air intake, that is to say without letting air in the product tank 8 as the product liquid P is distributed, so that the piston 11 moves towards the second end 8b of the reservoir as and when consuming the liquid product P.
- the product tank 8 could be under pressure and the dispensing head 9 a valve.
- the product P a cosmetic makeup product such as a foundation.
- the first endpiece 6 also contains a control mechanism 12, clearly visible on the figures 2 , 3 , 3A , 4 , 4A and 5 to 7 , this control mechanism comprising in particular a driving part 13, a bearing 14 and a control part 15.
- the drive part 13 has an annular shape centered on the direction X.
- This drive part 13 is retained axially in the first endpiece 6, for example by clipping a flange 13a of this drive part on an inner ring 6b of the first mouthpiece (see figure 2 ), and said drive part is also secured in rotation with the first endpiece 6, for example by interlocking axial ribs 6d of the first endpiece in axial notches 13b of the drive part (see FIGS. Figures 3A and 5 ).
- the driving part 13 is secured in rotation with the pusher 2, for example by means of internal axial ribs 13c (or other reliefs) of the control part 13, which extend in the direction X and penetrate into grooves 2b formed outside of an axial skirt 2a which belongs to the pusher 2 and which extends in the direction X towards the tank 8 crossing the workpiece.
- the pusher 2 is however not axially connected to the drive part, so that it can move axially in the direction X relative to the drive part 13, as will be explained below.
- the pad 14, meanwhile, is also an annular piece centered on the X direction, which is arranged around the drive piece 13.
- the pad 14 is connected to the drive part 13 so as to allow a rotational movement of said control member 13 with the first nozzle 6 at a limited deflection angle.
- the limitation of this deflection angle can be obtained by any known means, for example by two pins 14a formed inside the bearing 14, which cooperate by abutment with two teeth 13d of the drive part, teeth which extend axially towards the reservoir 8.
- the authorized clearance angle for the drive part and the first endpiece 6, between the storage position and the position of use can thus be for example of the order of one third of tower.
- Indexing means may also be provided to retain the control part 13 and the first end piece 6, either in the storage position or in the position of use.
- these indexing means may comprise in particular two bosses 13e projecting respectively outside the two teeth 13d of the control part, these bosses penetrating into internal recesses 14b of the pad 14, respectively in the position resting and in the position of use.
- the device that has just been described operates as follows.
- the pusher 2 leaves the first end-piece 6 in the direction of the arrow 19 ( figure 10 ) and when the pusher reaches the axial abutment position against the first end-piece 6, the rotation of the pusher 2 causes the control part 13 to slide in the neck 16 towards the second end-piece 7, which also causes the reservoir 8 in the same direction, so that the nozzle 3 leaves the second nozzle 7 in the direction of the arrow 20 ( figure 10 ).
- the pusher 2 which also moves the reservoir 8 and the pump 9 towards the second end 7 by sliding the fixing ring 10 in the elastic tabs 17b of the inner ring, while the nozzle is locked in translation, for example by abutment of an outer shoulder 3b of said nozzle against a narrowing 17c of the inner ring 17.
- the rod 9b of the pump enters the body 9a of said pump by actuating the pump, causing the output of the dose of product P.

Le document
La présente invention a notamment pour but de pallier ces inconvénients.The present invention is intended to overcome these disadvantages.
A cet effet, selon l'invention, un distributeur du genre en question est caractérisé en ce que la buse de sortie présente une sortie orientée selon la direction longitudinale et est adaptée pour venir en butée axiale contre une partie solidaire de la coque externe lors d'un actionnement de la tête distributrice en position d'utilisation du distributeur,
en ce que la première extrémité du réservoir est reliée à un poussoir par un mécanisme d'entraînement adapté pour sélectivement escamoter le poussoir et la buse de sortie dans la coque externe en position de stockage et faire sortir axialement ledit poussoir et la buse de sortie de la coque externe en position d'utilisation.For this purpose, according to the invention, a distributor of the kind in question is characterized in that the outlet nozzle has an output oriented in the longitudinal direction and is adapted to come into axial abutment. against an integral part of the outer shell during an actuation of the dispensing head in the use position of the dispenser,
in that the first end of the tank is connected to a pusher by a drive mechanism adapted to selectively retract the pusher and the outlet nozzle into the outer shell in the storage position and axially remove said pusher and the outlet nozzle from the outer shell in the use position.
Grâce à ces dispositions, le distributeur s'actionne à la manière d'un stylo par appui sur le poussoir à l'opposé de la buse de distribution, ce qui d'une part, permet à l'utilisateur d'orienter très précisément la distribution de produit liquide, et d'autre part évite généralement que l'utilisateur mette ses doigts devant la buse de sortie.With these provisions, the dispenser is actuated in the manner of a pen by pressing the pusher opposite the dispensing nozzle, which on the one hand, allows the user to orient very precisely the dispensing liquid product, and secondly generally avoids the user putting his fingers in front of the outlet nozzle.
Dans divers modes de réalisation du distributeur selon l'invention, on peut éventuellement avoir recours en outre à l'une et/ou à l'autre des dispositions suivantes :
- la première extrémité du réservoir est solidaire d'une pièce de commande annulaire centrée sur la direction longitudinale, qui comporte au moins une rainure hélicoïdale dans laquelle est monté coulissant au moins un pion solidaire du poussoir, ladite pièce de commande étant montée coulissante axialement et immobilisée en rotation par rapport à la coque externe, et le poussoir étant solidarisé en rotation par rapport à la pièce d'entraînement et monté coulissant axialement par rapport à la pièce d'entraînement et par rapport à la coque externe, ledit poussoir étant adapté pour buter axialement contre une partie de la coque externe en position d'utilisation ;
- le mécanisme d'entraînement comporte en outre un coussinet annulaire qui est solidaire de la coque externe et qui coopère avec la pièce d'entraînement pour limiter le débattement angulaire de ladite pièce d'entraînement par rapport à la coque externe ;
- le réservoir contient un parfum ou une composition cosmétique de soin et/ou de maquillage, en particulier sous forme d'une émulsion ou d'un gel.
- the first end of the reservoir is integral with an annular control part centered on the longitudinal direction, which comprises at least one helical groove in which is slidably mounted at least one pin integral with the pusher, said control part being slidably mounted axially and immobilized in rotation relative to the outer shell, and the pusher being secured in rotation relative to the drive part and slidably mounted axially with respect to the drive part and with respect to the outer shell, said pusher being adapted to abut axially against a portion of the outer shell in the use position;
- the drive mechanism further comprises an annular bushing which is integral with the outer shell and which cooperates with the drive part to limit the angular displacement of said drive part relative to the outer shell;
- the reservoir contains a perfume or a cosmetic care and / or makeup composition, in particular in the form of an emulsion or a gel.

Dans le cas présent, le réservoir 8 est en outre fermé par un piston 11 monté coulissant à l'intérieur du réservoir selon la direction X pour délimiter un volume fermé rempli du produit liquide P. Dans le cas présent, la tête distributrice 9 fonctionne sans reprise d'air, c'est-à-dire sans laisser rentrer d'air dans le réservoir de produit 8 au fur et à mesure que le produit liquide P est distribué, de sorte que le piston 11 se déplace vers la deuxième extrémité 8b du réservoir au fur et à mesure de la consommation du produit liquide P.In this case, the
En alternative, le réservoir de produit 8 pourrait être sous pression et la tête distributrice 9 une soupape. A titre d'exemple, on pourra dans le cas d'un réservoir sous pression utiliser comme produit P un produit cosmétique de maquillage tel qu'un fond de teint.Alternatively, the
Le premier embout 6 contient en outre un mécanisme de commande 12, bien visible sur les
La pièce d'entraînement 13 présente une forme annulaire centrée sur la direction X. Cette pièce d'entraînement 13 est retenue axialement dans le premier embout 6, par exemple par clipsage d'une collerette 13a de cette pièce d'entraînement sur un jonc interne 6b du premier embout (voir la
De plus, comme représenté notamment sur les
Le coussinet 14, quant à lui, est également une pièce annulaire centrée sur la direction X, qui est disposée autour de la pièce d'entraînement 13. Comme on peut le voir notamment sur les
Des moyens d'indexation peuvent également être prévus pour retenir la pièce de commande 13 et le premier embout 6, soit dans la position de stockage, soit dans la position d'utilisation. Dans l'exemple représenté, ces moyens d'indexation peuvent comprendre notamment deux bossages 13e faisant saillie respectivement à l'extérieur des deux dents 13d de la pièce de commande, ces bossages pénétrant dans des évidements internes 14b du coussinet 14, respectivement dans la position de repos et dans la position d'utilisation.Indexing means may also be provided to retain the

- axialement, par clipsage du
col 16 dans le coussinet 14, - et en rotation, par exemple par engagement de nervures axiales externes
16a du col 16, dans des rainures axiales internes 14c du coussinet.
- axially, by clipping the

axial ribs 16a of theneck 16, in internalaxial grooves 14c of the pad.
Comme on peut le voir notamment sur les
Cette pièce de commande 15 possède deux rainures hélicoïdales 15a dans lesquelles pénètrent des pions externes 2c formés à l'extrémité libre de la jupe 2a du poussoir 2. Le poussoir 2 possède en outre un bord inférieur 2d en forme de double rampe hélicoïdale glissant sur deux rainures hélicoïdales internes 15c de la pièce de commande 15, complétant ainsi de manière optionnelle et/ou alternative le guidage du poussoir 2 par rapport à la pièce de commande 15. La pièce de commande est en outre solidarisée en rotation avec le corps principal 5, par exemple au moyen de pions ou nervures 16b internes du col 16, qui pénètrent dans des rainures axiales externes 15b de la pièce de commande 15.This
Par ailleurs, comme représenté notamment sur les
Le dispositif qui vient d'être décrit fonctionne comme suit.The device that has just been described operates as follows.
Lorsqu'un utilisateur fait tourner le premier embout 6 par rapport au corps principal 5 dans le sens de la flèche 18 visible sur la
Lorsque l'utilisateur veut ensuite utiliser le distributeur 1 pour distribuer une dose du produit liquide P, il appuie sur le poussoir 2, ce qui déplace également le réservoir 8 et la pompe 9 vers le deuxième embout 7 en faisant coulisser la bague de fixation 10 dans les pattes élastiques 17b de la bague interne, tandis que la buse est bloquée en translation, par exemple par butée d'un épaulement externe 3b de ladite buse contre un rétrécissement 17c de la bague interne 17. Il en résulte que la tige 9b de la pompe pénètre dans le corps 9a de ladite pompe en actionnant la pompe, provoquant la sortie de la dose de produit P.When the user then wants to use the
On obtient ainsi une distribution (pulvérisation notamment) particulièrement précise de la dose de produit P, et ce quasiment sans risque de voir l'utilisateur mettre les doigts sur la buse 3. De plus, le poussoir n'étant pas à proximité immédiate de la buse 3, cela permet en outre de limiter d'éventuelles contaminations bactériennes du produit P via l'orifice 3a de la buse, contaminations que l'on est susceptible d'apporter via ses doigts en actionnant le poussoir. Ces dispositions sont particulièrement avantageuses lorsque le réservoir 8 contient un produit P qui n'est pas un parfum.This provides a distribution (particularly spraying) particularly accurate dose of product P, and almost without risk to see the user put his fingers on the
