Definitions

• Control mechanism with side pushers for the distribution of a product contained in a container Control mechanism with side pushers for the distribution of a product contained in a container.
• the invention relates to a control mechanism with side pushers for dispensing a product contained in a container.
• Known systems generally include translational cursors and / or rotating capsules.
• a mechanism with lateral pushers such as that described in particular in patent FR-2,600,976 and which comprises a nozzle mounted on an opening of the container and a cap which is arranged on the container in covering said end-piece and which is provided with at least one orifice for the outlet of the product and at least two diametrically opposite laté ⁇ ral pushers which are articulated to tilt inwards and are integral with stops.
• the end piece serving as a shutter is fixedly mounted on the neck of the container while the cap is mobile, while no means for returning to the closed position is provided.
• the inventor proposes a control mechanism with lateral pushers for the distribution of a product contained in a container of the aforementioned general type, but which differs advantageously in that the cap is fixed on the container while the nozzle is mounted mobile on the opening of the container and comprises at least two diametrically opposite radial bearing surfaces, on which these abutments of the lateral pushers come to bear so that a lateral pressure exerted on said pushers causes an axial displacement of the end piece from a closed position to a open position, while an elastic means is provided to urge the endpiece against the effect exerted by the pushers in order to allow it to return to its initial shutter position.
• the pushers are in one piece with the cover and are articulated by means of hinges with grooves or weakening weakening.
• the elastic means for returning to the initial position of the end piece is constituted by at least two elastic tabs aména ⁇ gées at the base of the end piece and which come to bear by their free ends on a fixed part of the container.
• the elastic tabs are part of an elastic crown which has a generally frustoconical shape and which is constituted by a plurality of such elastic tabs.
• the end piece has a central chimney, the end of which is provided with at least one passage opening for the product and which is slidably mounted in a sealed manner in a skirt of the cap arranged around the orifice. of it.
• the orifice of the cap is formed at the end of a protuberance into which the end of the chimney of the nozzle is introduced.
• the nozzle has an end intended to seal the orifice of the cap while the opening for passage of the nozzle is closed by a part of the cap in closed position of the nozzle and on the contrary, communicates with the orifice of said cap in the open position.
• the end piece is for example slidably mounted in and / or on said neck of the container and may have for this purpose an inner skirt which slides on the inner wall of the neck of the container.
• an appropriate part of the nozzle is designed to come to bear on the stem of the valve of the container so that the actuation of the pushers acts on said valve.
• the orifice of the cap communicates with a product applicator.
• the applicator is in the form of a porous element capable of being soaked with product.
• FIG. 1 is a view in elevation and in half-section of a capsule according to the invention in the closed position
• FIG. 2 corresponds to FIG. 1, but in the open position
• FIG. 3 is an elevation view of the device in FIGS. 1 and 2 from the side of a pusher
• Figure 4 shows the movable tip of the device of Figures 1 to 3
• FIG. 5 is a view in elevation and in half-section of an embodiment for an aerosol container fitted with an applicator of the type with a porous element
• FIG. 6 is a side view of the device of Figure
• a container in 1 has been shown schematically which contains the product to be dispensed.
• the container 1 also has a neck 2.
• the invention provides a tip 3 aa mobile movable on an opening of the container and in this case for Figures 1 and 2, on the neck 2 of said container.
• a cover 4 has also been provided which is fixed, for example by clipping, to the container 1, so that said cover 4 is completely stationary relative to said container 1.
• the cover 4 is provided with two lateral pushers 5, 5 'with lever (here in one piece with the rest of the cover), diametral ⁇ opposite and articulated as shown in the drawings, so as to be able to tilt towards the interior by means for example as here, of hinges with grooves or thinning of weakening such as 6.
• the pushers 5, 5 ' are each provided with stops 7 provided to come to bear on at least two bearing surfaces 8, 8' radial and diametrically opposite, provided on the end piece 3.
• the end piece 3 is provided with at least one passage opening 9 and the cap 4 with at least one orifice 10.
• the end piece 3 further comprises a central chimney 11 provided with the opening 9 and which is slidably mounted in leaktight manner in a conjugate skirt 12 of the cap arranged around the orifice (s) 10 thereof.
• the orifice 10 of the cover 4 is formed at the end of a protuberance 13 into which the end of the chimney 11 of the end piece 3 is introduced, said protuberance serving as a means of pouring or applying the product and which can go as far as constituting a real cannula.
• the tip 3 is provided with an inner skirt 14 which slides in the neck 2 of the container 1, the end piece 3 being further provided with a skirt 15 which slides on said neck 2.
• end piece 3 is provided with elastic tabs 16 intended to come to bear on a fixed part of the container 1 (for example around the neck
• each lug 16 are part of a crown of generally frustoconical shape as shown more particularly in Figure 4, while in the embodiment of Figures 5 and 6, due in particular to the non-cylindrical shape, the legs are for example the number of two and diametra- slightly opposite.
• the lugs 16 extend the skirt 15 of the end piece 3, while in FIG. 5, each lug 16 extends the corresponding bearing surface 8 of said end piece 3.
• the opening 9 and the orifice (s) 10 are always in communication for the reasons which will be mentioned below.
• the container 1 is of the aerosol type, a part 19 of the nozzle 3 coming to bear on the control rod 18 of the valve of the container. It is this part 19 of the end piece 3 of FIG. 5 which is provided with the opening 9 while the orifice (s) 10 of the cover are for example formed in a small attached piece 20.
• the container 1 could of course include a spray pump, the reference 18 being able to completely represent the part of this pump on which the part 19 of the nozzle 3 is supported.
• the mode of embodiment of FIGS. 5 and 6 is provided with a product applicator, in the form here of a porous element 21 in the form of a dome fixed in the cover 4.
• FIGS. 1 to 4 relate more particularly to a container provided with a simple dispensing capsule with flow and that FIGS. 5 and 6 relate to a container of the aerosol or pump type with, in addition, an applicator with a porous element. .
• the end 17 of the nozzle 3 closes the orifice 10 of the cap ( Figure 1), while the container of Figures 5 and 6 is closed by the absence of pressure exerted on the control rod 18 (or respectively the pump ).
• the stops 7 of said pushers in the form, for example, plates or stirrups and which are supported on the surfaces 8, 8 ′ of the nozzle 3, force the latter to sink towards the container (we thus pass from FIG. 1 to FIG. 2).
• the translational pressure of the nozzle 3 therefore makes it possible to clear the orifice 10 of the cap 4 (FIG. 2) or even to open the valve of the aerosol of FIGS. 5 and 6.
• the product contained in the container 1 can flow through the openings 9 and the orifices 10, either directly (FIGS. 1 to 4), or by soaking the applicator with a porous element 21 (FIGS. 5 and 6).
• the spring with which the aerosol valve (or the pump) is fitted and / or the internal pressure exerted on it assists in this return to the initial position (the legs 16 possibly being able to in some cases, do not turn out to be essential).
• the applicator with a porous element 21 of FIGS. 5 and 6 can equip a container of the type of those of FIGS. 1 to 3, that is to say without pump or aerosol (use by inversion and / or by pressure exerted on the sides of the repicipent, which would be flexible for this purpose).
