Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device or a method of fixing a metering member, in particular of a pump, inside a container containing a product to distribute, and applies more particularly low dose dispensers used in the perfumes, cosmetics or products pharmaceuticals.
  • the diameters of the necks of the containers may vary slightly due to their manufacturing which can prevent correct fixing of the pump body in said neck of the container.
  • a press fitting of the pump body itself can in some cases cause a tightening of said body pump and thus cause friction inside of the pump which can affect its functioning.
  • Another device disclosed by the document DE-31 22 982, provides for snap-fitting of the pcmpe body on a bead of the container neck.
  • the object of the present invention is to avoid aforementioned drawbacks by providing a device for simple and inexpensive fixing allowing to fix the body of a metering device, such as a pump, in the neck of a container, while compensating for the tolerances of dimensions of said container neck.
  • the device the invention therefore adapts to any collar container, standard or not, whose dimensions can vary slightly during its manufacture.
  • the present invention therefore relates to a device fixing a metering member, such as a pump, comprising a body, in a neck of a container containing a product to be dispensed, said body of the metering member comprising a part of smaller diameter and a part larger diameter, the maximum outside diameter of said body being less than the inside diameter of said neck, a housing being formed in said neck of the container, said housing being adapted to receive an organ deformable which, in the assembled state of the fixing device, is deformed and / or compressed so that it exerts a radial force on said neck and on said body, said force ensuring the tight fixing of the metering device in the neck of the container, said deformable member coming adapt, before mounting, on said part of smaller diameter and moving, during assembly, on said part of the body's largest diameter dosage, being deformed and / or compressed in the housing.
  • a metering member such as a pump
  • This implementation allows very easy assembly. Indeed, the establishment of the deformable member on the part of smaller diameter is very easily since the deformable organ is not subjected to any constraint. Then the deformation of the deformable organ is performed only on the largest part diameter and not over the entire height of the pump body during its fitting in the neck of the container. The mounting is therefore easier and more reliable. In particular, this deformation and / or compression is obtained by applying a vertical force on the body of the organ of dosage, this force being transmitted to the deformable member.
  • said parts of different diameters of the metering member body are connected by a conical part so that the deformation and / or the compression of the deformable member is carried out so progressive during assembly.
  • the housing has a sectional shape transverse approximately square or rectangular.
  • said deformable member has, before mounting the fixing device, a form different from the housing, mounting the device fixing forcing by deformation and / or compression said deformable member to conform approximately to the shape of said housing, so that said deformable member exerts forces on the walls of said housing.
  • the dosing unit of the invention comprises a container 1 having a neck cylindrical 2 and containing a product to be dispensed.
  • the container can be of any shape and made of any material, usually glass or other material plastic.
  • a metering member 10 is provided, said metering member 10 comprising a body 11.
  • said metering member 10 is a pump allowing a selective distribution of the product, and the continuation of the description will be made with reference to a pump.
  • the outside diameter said pump body is less than the inside diameter of said cylindrical neck 2 of container 1.
  • a housing 20 intended to receive a deformable member 30 which is preferably flexible and elastic.
  • said deformable member 30 is annular and is intended to adapt to the housing 10 also annular which extends circumferentially around the neck 2, so that at the mounted state of the fixing device, said member deformable 30 ensures both the fixing of the pump in the neck and the seal at said neck.
  • the elastic deformable member 30 may have, before the mounting the fixing device, a different form from that of the housing 30 and when mounting the device fixing, said deformable member 30 is forced by compression to conform approximately to the shape of said housing 30.
  • the housing 20 is produced in the neck 2 of container 1, preferably at its end higher.
  • the deformable member 30 can, before mounting, be arranged in the housing 20, but preferably there is arranged on the pump body 11.
  • the body of pump 11 has a smaller bottom portion 11a diameter and an upper part 11b larger diameter.
  • the deformable member 30 adapts on part 11a of smaller diameter and at the beginning of the fitting of the pump body 11 in the neck, it comes first fit into the housing 20 of the neck. Then, the deformable member 30 is compressed and / or deformed by the part 11b of larger diameter, thus creating the force radial on the neck 2 and the pump body 11 which ensures the waterproof fixing of these two elements.
  • the pump 10 has a vent hole 50 which can be provided in the larger diameter part 11b of the body of pump 11, provided that it is in the assembled state of the device below the deformable member 30 ensuring the tight fixing of the pump on the container.
  • the two parts 11a and 11b of the body of pump 11 are connected together by a conical part. so that the deformation and / or compression of the deformable member 30 is done gradually during the mounting, facilitating it.
  • the housing 20 has a sectional shape about square or rectangular, as well as the deformable member 30.
  • the dimensions of the housing and deformable member do not match exactly, in order to cause deformation and / or compression of the deformable member 30 in the housing 20.
  • any other vertical section of the organ deformable is imaginable provided that it does not not exactly match in shape and size, to the vertical section of the housing 20, which can also be any. So, during fitting, the organ deformable 30 is forced to conform approximately to the shape of said housing 20, thus exerting the radial forces on the neck and the pump body for fixing and sealing.
