Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fluid dispensing device incorporating a safety cap. More particularly, the present invention relates to a safety cap for a nasal spray device.
  • US-3,768,703, US-3,866,802 and FR-2,750,406 disclose various types of caps for fluid dispensing device.
  • US-3,768,703 discloses a security cap provided with a security system. bayonet type fixing.
  • the present invention aims to provide a device for distributing fluid product comprising a safety cap preventing actuation of the device by a child, which is the simplest and least expensive to manufacture.
  • the object of the present invention is in particular to provide a safety cap which can be used on nasal spray devices, of the monospray type, that is to say which contain a single dose of product to be dispensed.
  • the cost of distribution device is a very important factor, so a simple system and inexpensive is desirable.
  • the present invention therefore relates to a product dispensing device fluid comprising a product reservoir, a dispensing member such as a pump, a dispensing head provided with a dispensing orifice and a fixing part, and a security cap having fastening means for securing said cap on said dispensing device, said fastening means being removable to remove said cap before using said dispensing device, the removal of said fixing means being effected by the combination of a pressure axial on said cap along an axis of said device and a rotation of said cap around said axis, characterized in that said cap comprises tabs of fastening with a U-shaped end, and said fixing portion comprises a respective axial passage for said U-shaped end of each fastening tab, said axial passage being delimited by a respective flange adapted to be positioned between the branches of said U-shaped end, after rotation of said cap.
  • said cap comprises elastically means deformable which cooperates with the dispensing device to prevent rotation said cap in the absence of said axial pressure.
  • said cap can perform said rotation only when said elastically deformable means are compressed.
  • said elastically deformable means comprise a elastic element of deformable flexible material, such as santoprene, disposed inside said cap.
  • said elastically deformable means comprises a elastic element of deformable flexible material, such as santoprene, disposed on the end wall of the cap and extending on the inner face and on the face exterior of said end wall of the cap.
  • said elastically deformable means are compressed to allow said U-shaped end of each bracket to pass axially in a respective passage beyond said flange, so that after rotation said cap, said elastically deformed means axially solicit said cap away from the dispensing head so that said flange is forced elastically between said legs of the U to fix the cap on the head.
  • the fluid dispenser device is a dispensing device nasal spray, therefore comprising a nasal dispensing head. It is understood that the present invention is not limited to this type of device, but on the contrary applies to all fluid dispensing devices.
  • the safety cap 20 is intended to be applied on a fluid dispensing device 10, preferably comprising a head of distribution 15 provided with a dispensing orifice 16.
  • the cap 20 is provided with fastening means 30 which comprise one or more lateral lugs 31 in particular two, ending in a U-shaped end 32.
  • the safety cap 20 also preferably comprises elastically deformable means 25, advantageously made in the form of a deformable elastic element 25 disposed preferably in the bottom, that is to say the end end wall of said cap 20, as shown in FIG. 6.
  • This elastic element 25, made of elastic material deformable, such as for example santoprene, is adapted to compress when the cap is put in place on the dispensing head 15. This compression is performed by axial pressure of the cap 20 on said dispensing head 15 along the X axis shown in Figures 4 and 5.
  • the elastic element 25 extends to both on the inside of the cap, to perform the compression function, and on the outside of the cap, to facilitate handling and / or indicate the area support.
  • a flexible material allows a good grip of the cap, for example by providing a relief, and can be easily colorized to distinguish a particular area of the hood.
  • the fluid dispensing device 10 comprises a fixing part cooperating with the fixing means of the cap.
  • the means of fasteners comprise an axial passage 12 delimited by at least one vertical flange 13.
  • this passage 12 is intended to leave pass said fastening tabs of the cap, and in particular the end shaped U 32.
  • the flange 13 is made such that a rotation of the cap 20 on the head 20 is possible only after axial compression of said elastic member 25 located in the bottom of said cap, as shown in FIG. axial pressure is exerted on the cap and that the elastic element 25 deforms, the U-shaped end 32 of the tabs 31 passes completely through the passage 12, under the flange 13, so that the cap can be rotated about the X axis.
  • the deformed elastic element 25 solicits the cap 20 away of the dispensing head 15, so that the flange 13 is urged between the branches of the U 32, thus ensuring attachment of the cap on the dispensing head.
  • the present invention thus provides a very simple system to produce and manufacture and therefore very inexpensive, which ensures safety against accidental use by children, implying the need for double manipulation to remove the cap, namely an axial pressure followed by a rotation about said axis.
  • This security cap of the invention is very easily applicable to the devices existing distribution, since it is sufficient to arrange said axial passage in the head of distribution of existing devices to allow the establishment of said cap.
