Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for spraying a fluid product.
  • the invention relates to a miniature sprayer suitable for packaging cosmetic products, in particular perfumes.
  • One solution for making such packaging at as low a cost as possible would consist in making the reservoir in the form of a pod of the type of what is commonly used for the packaging of certain physiological serums, eye drops or make-up removing products.
  • a pod is produced in a single piece with a spray orifice, the opening of which is caused by pulling off a nozzle, in particular by twisting the nozzle around the axis of the orifice.
  • the filling of such a device can be done via the open bottom of the tank. The latter is then closed in particular by welding, in the manner of a tube.
  • the welding operation after filling the reservoir, in particular when it is a highly volatile product such as a perfume, is not without problems. Under the effect of heat, the product may evaporate, deteriorate or even ignite.
  • Compressed air also tends to escape from the container and enters the dip tube through the air inlet.
  • a mixture of air and product is then obtained in the tube before spraying.
  • the deformation of the wall is linear, that is to say that the reduction in the internal volume of the container is proportional to the pressure exerted on the wall to deform it.
  • the user can then deform the wall by exerting a low pressure on it so that the air is weakly compressed. At first, there is not enough energy for the air to push the product into the dip tube. However, air tends to escape from the container so that only air is sprayed.
  • a device for spraying a fluid product comprising a reservoir containing said product and air, the reservoir comprising a wall having at least one deformable zone, the device comprising a dip tube a first end of which is situated in the vicinity of the bottom of the tank and a second end of which communicates, in particular via a channel, with a spray orifice capable of spraying said product in response to a pressure exerted on said deformable zone, an air passage being provided to allow at least part of the air contained in the tank to mix with the product coming from the dip tube, near its second end, before reaching the spray orifice, said deformable zone having a predetermined threshold of resistance to deformation such that, before the pressure exerted reaches a pressure making it possible to overcome the said predetermined threshold of resistance to deformation, the internal volume of the reservoir is not significantly reduced.
  • a wall having a threshold of resistance to deformation means a wall configured in such a way that its deformation does not depend linearly on the pressure exerted on it to deform it, but requires the passing of a threshold.
  • the pressure exerted by a user on the actuating wall causes, before reaching the threshold pressure, namely, the pressure making it possible to overcome said predetermined threshold of resistance to deformation of said actuating wall, a deformation of the wall which does not make it possible to significantly reduce the internal volume of the tank, but which makes it possible to accumulate energy so that, when the pressure exerted by the user on the wall reaches the threshold pressure, the wall suddenly deforms.
  • the volume inside the tank is reduced significantly so that an overpressure is suddenly created inside the tank. This overpressure makes it possible to push the product with sufficient energy into the dip tube to bring it up to the spray orifice so as to generate a good quality spray.
  • the device comprises a dispensing nozzle fixed to the reservoir, in which the spray orifice is formed, the channel connecting the second end of the dip tube to the spray orifice being formed in said nozzle.
  • the device comprising two main parts is thus simple to produce by forming, on the one hand, the reservoir and, on the other hand, the spray nozzle acting as a plug.
  • the dip tube can be made in one piece with the end piece.
  • the second end of the dip tube is fixedly mounted in a cavity formed in said end piece, for example by being force-fitted.
  • the air passage is formed in the dispensing nozzle. It opens, on the one hand, inside the tank and, on the other hand, into the canal. Advantageously, it opens into the channel at the level of the second end of the dip tube.
  • the air passage then consists for example of at least one groove formed on the wall of the cavity.
  • the air passage is an orifice provided in the side wall of the dip tube, towards its second end.
  • the spray orifice can be formed in the axis of the dip tube so as to obtain a spray in the axis.
  • the spray orifice is angularly offset from the axis of the dip tube.
  • the device being preferably used head up with the tube substantially vertical, it is thus possible to obtain a spray which is not vertical, and in particular a horizontal spray which facilitates the application of the product to the skin by providing a spray orifice. offset 90 ° from the axis of the tube.
  • the actuating wall is in shape memory, that is to say that it is configured so as to resume its initial shape by elastic return when said pressure ceases.
  • the device can then be used several times consecutively.
  • the actuating wall of the reservoir is formed of a thermoplastic material, in particular a polyethylene, a polypropylene, a polyethylene terephthalate, a polyethylene naphthalate, a polyacrylonitrile, a polyoxymethylene, a polyvinyl chloride, or a mixture of these materials.
  • the device is particularly suitable for packaging and spraying a sample dose of a cosmetic product, in particular a perfume.
  • the reservoir 10 has a flat wall 12.
  • This configuration of the reservoir makes it possible to easily identify the zone over which the user must exert pressure so that the operation of the device is made evident.
  • this configuration makes it possible to easily grasp the device between two fingers, for example by placing the thumb on the flat wall 12 and the index finger on the deformable zone 11 or vice versa. The user thus exerts pressure on the actuating wall using his index finger or his thumb so that he can easily spray the product.
  • the reservoir 10 ends in an open neck 13 in which the spray nozzle 20 is mounted in leaktight manner.
  • the nozzle 20 for example comprises an annular groove 24 provided to cooperate with an annular projection 14 formed on the internal wall of the neck 13 of the tank.
  • the dip tube 30, of axis X is formed in one piece with the tip 20.
  • the tip 20 and the dip tube 30 are for example obtained by molding in one piece, a thermoplastic material, in particular polyethylene or polypropylene.
  • the first end 30a of the tube opens out substantially towards the bottom of the tank so as to be immersed in the product to be sprayed.
  • the second end 30b is extended by the end piece 20 in which a channel 22 is formed.
  • the channel 22 extends the conduit from the dip tube to a spray orifice 21.
  • the end piece 20 is provided with a fixing skirt 26, threaded on its inner surface to cooperate with the neck 13 of the reservoir 10.
  • a sealing skirt 27, cylindrical, is provided to come lodge inside the neck 13 of the tank and thus ensure the seal between the opening of the neck 13 and the nozzle.
  • a cylindrical cavity 23 is provided in the end piece for forcibly receiving the end 30b of the dip tube.
  • the channel 22 communicating the dip tube and the spray orifice 21 opens into the bottom of the cavity 23.
  • the channel 22 has a portion 22a formed in the axis X of the tube and a portion 22b perpendicular to the axis X and which opens onto the spray orifice 21.
  • a groove 42 is formed on the wall of the cavity 23, over its entire axial height and extends into the bottom of the cavity so as to open out between the open end of the tube and the channel 22.
  • a second groove 42 diametrically opposite to the first is formed on the wall of the cavity.
  • the two grooves 42 extend into the bottom of the cavity over its entire cross section.
