Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a container equipped with a dispensing head comprising a body and a dispensing nozzle integral with said body, this nozzle being provided with a dispensing orifice, for spraying a product.
  • the object of the invention is to remedy certain drawbacks of the known distribution.
  • the invention aims in particular to propose a new container equipped with a dispensing head which is relatively simple to manufacture and makes it possible to reduce the risk of blockage of the dispensing orifice by a residue of dried product.
  • This new container is characterized by the fact that the dispensing orifice is made in an elastically deformable wall arranged to bulge towards the exterior under the effect of the pressure of the product and by the fact that said orifice is arranged so that it is closed at rest and can be opened by deformation of said wall under the effect of the product pressure upstream, at the time of product distribution.
  • the invention there is a relatively simple dispensing head to be manufactured, in which the dispensing orifice is closed at rest, so that the product contained in the dispensing head is prevented from drying out.
  • the dispensing orifice is produced by drilling of said elastically deformable wall, without removal of material.
  • the elastically deformable wall is arranged to deform elsewhere than at the distribution orifice under the effect of the pressure of the product, at the time of distribution thereof.
  • the elastically deformable wall can thus be arranged to bulge outward under the effect of product pressure.
  • This deformation of the elastically deformable wall promotes detachment any product residue adhering to the surface thereof.
  • the elastically deformable wall is constituted by an elastomeric disc.
  • This disc can be secured at its periphery to a ring made in a rigid plastic.
  • This disc may have on its inner face an annular rib inserted in a groove of complementary shape made on said ring.
  • the elastically deformable wall comes in support, at rest, against the front face of a central stud (also called center post) belonging to the body of the dispensing head.
  • a central stud also called center post
  • Swirl channels can be made on the front of this central block, with a view to imparting particular characteristics to the flow through the dispensing orifice.
  • annular space is provided around the central stud used to supply the aforementioned vortex channels.
  • the nozzle is fixed in a housing produced in the body of the dispensing head and the opening of which has a narrowing of section.
  • the dispensing head includes a nozzle intended to be mounted on the control rod of a valve or pump.
  • the axis of the dispensing orifice can be perpendicular to the axis of the nozzle cited above.
  • the dispensing head 1 shown in FIG. 1 comprises a body 2 made by molding plastic, preferably a rigid plastic.
  • the body 2 has a tip 3 of axis X, open downwards, intended for mounting the dispensing head on the control rod (not shown) of a valve or a pump fitted to a container containing a liquid, for example a hair spray.
  • This container may include, if it is equipped with a gas valve pressurized propellant.
  • the control rod is intended to be force-fitted into the end piece 3 and has a product supply channel.
  • the body 2 includes an outer skirt 4 intended to improve the aesthetics of the container on which the dispensing head is mounted.
  • a recess 5 is made on the upper face of the body 2 to serve to pressing the user's finger pressing the dispensing head 1 in order to cause the product distribution.
  • the body 2 comprises a housing 6 of axis Y perpendicular to the axis X, intended when mounting a nozzle 7 which is shown in isolation in FIG. 4.
  • This housing 6 is open on the front face of the body 2 and communicates by a channel 8 with the bottom of the nozzle 3.
  • a central stud 9 of axis Y extends inside the housing 6.
  • Vortex channels 10 are produced on the front face 11 of this central stud 9, as can be seen in FIG. 5, with a view to creating a flow swirling around the Y axis, in a manner known per se.
  • the nozzle 7 comprises a disc 15 made of an elastomeric material, by example a thermoplastic elastomer known under the trade name SANTOPRENE, tightly fixed at its periphery to a mounting ring 16 made of a non-elastomeric plastic.
  • a thermoplastic elastomer known under the trade name SANTOPRENE
  • the disc 15 has on its inner face 17, in the vicinity of its periphery, an annular rib 18 and the mounting ring has a recess on its front face cylindrical of revolution 19, the diameter of which corresponds to that of the disc 15, the inner face 17 of the disc coming to bear in the bottom 20 of this recess 19.
  • the ring 16 has in the bottom 20 of the housing 19 an annular groove 21 into which the annular rib 18 is inserted.
  • the disc 15 is pierced in its center with an orifice 22.
  • the orifice 22 is produced by drilling the disc 15 without removing material and it is closed at rest, thanks to the elasticity of the elastomeric material in which is made disc 15.
  • the opening of the housing 6 of the body 2 of the dispensing head comprises a annular bead 24 defining a narrowing of section and the ring 16 is put in place by snapping into the housing 6.
  • the ring 16 and the body 2 deform elastically to allow the annular bead 24 to be crossed by the ring 16.
  • the ring 16 has a surface at its front end and at its periphery conical 26 which bears against the rear blank of the annular bead 24, as is can see it in figure 2.
  • the ring 16 is thus immobilized in a sealed manner in the housing 6.
  • the user presses the upper face of the dispensing head 1, which causes the control rod to sink and the inlet of product under pressure in the channel 8 and the annular groove 27 formed between the stud central 9 and the ring 16.
  • Disc 15 bulges outward under the effect of product pressure on its inner face 17.
  • the deformation of the disc 15 makes it possible to detach possible product residues having dried, adhering to its external face 28, which has become converse towards the outside.
  • the deformation of the disc 15 is sufficient for the product to be able to be ejected through the orifice 22 and be dispensed for example in the form of a conical spray.
  • the channel 8 ceases to be powered and the disc 15 tends to resume its initial configuration, in which its face outer 28 is substantially planar and perpendicular to the Y axis and the orifice 22 closed.
  • Closing the orifice 22 makes it possible to isolate the interior of the dispensing head of ambient air and avoid drying of the product therein.
  • Channels can still be made inside the nozzle.
  • the dispensing head may have two or more nozzles.
