Definitions

  • the present invention relates to devices for dispensing a product in the form of balls. It is aimed in particular at the distribution of cosmetic, toiletry, perfume or care products in the form of beads.
  • cosmetic products include in particular all products for making up the skin, lips or integuments.
  • Toiletries include shower gels, bath products, and body milks.
  • Perfumes in particular designate all perfume or scent compositions intended for body application.
  • Care products include in particular products intended to be applied to the human or animal body to treat or prevent a pathology.
  • solid or semi-solid designates a soft or pasty product, having a consistency allowing it to substantially retain its shape when stored. These products can thus be stored in the form of soft beads.
  • this form of storage and distribution makes it possible to provide a precisely calibrated dose of product, and / or good preservation of the product before use, and / or great ease of handling and use by the user. .
  • a cream for body application can be dehydrated in order to obtain a product of a consistency thick enough to be shaped into beads, and to be crushed by the user during the application.
  • said product can be encapsulated in a spherical shell, which is broken or dissolved during use (application to the skin, dissolution in water, etc.).
  • homeopathic products are commonly in the form of granules, that is to say beads 1 mm to 6 mm in diameter.
  • vials for homeopathic granules which are closed by a plate leaving by rotation an orifice slightly larger in size than that of a granule.
  • These devices are imperfect because the granules can get stuck behind the orifice or, on the contrary, be distributed in too large numbers.
  • the use of this type of dispenser is in particular incompatible for dispensing soft balls which have a particular tendency to get stuck together behind the dispensing orifice.
  • US 2017/183143 A1 discloses a ball dispensing device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the object of the present invention is to resolve at least one of the aforementioned drawbacks.

  • the invention thus relates to a device for dispensing a cosmetic, toilet, perfume or care product, in the form of beads.
  • the device comprises a main body forming a reservoir, said main body having an elongated shape and comprising a first end comprising a closed bottom and a second open end opposite said first end.
  • Such a dispenser offers a mechanism allowing the dispensing of product balls in the desired quantity, for example individually. This makes it possible to maintain the beads stored in a closed volume, consequently to keep them clean and without the risk of being soiled during the distribution of one or more beads, and, if necessary, to prevent them from drying out.
  • the use of a helical ramp advantageously makes it possible to organize the storage of the balls in the main body while maximizing their quantity while limiting or eliminating the risk of the balls jamming in the device.
  • the helical ramp also makes it possible to determine the order of distribution of the balls.
  • the successively distributed beads can have different compositions. It is for example possible to alternate the distribution of beads having a certain composition with the distribution of beads having another composition.

  • the actuator may comprise a push button, movable between a released position and a depressed position, the device further comprising a return spring tending to return said push button to the released position, the indexing mechanism comprising in addition besides a cam system transforming a pressure followed by a release of the push button in the rotation of the predefined angle of the central axis.
  • the push button can be linked to the central axis, the spring being a compression spring interposed between the bottom of the main body and a bearing plane of the central axis.
  • the indexing mechanism may for example include a first toothed crown facing a second toothed crown, said first and second toothed crowns being rigidly linked to the central axis, the device further comprising at least one pin rigidly connected to the body. main and interposed between said first and second toothed crowns, said first and second toothed crowns forming a cam for the at least one pin for which they define a peripheral path, a pressure followed by a release of the push button causing the progression of the pin in said path by rotation of said first and second toothed rings and corollary of the central axis.
  • the actuator when the actuator is a push button, the latter may include a delivery opening and the device may further include a hatch which closes the delivery opening except in the released position of the push button in which the delivery opening is released.
  • the central axis may have a straight prismatic shape, the pusher comprising a ring of internal shape corresponding to a clearance close to a base of the prism defining the central axis, so as to be able to slide freely along said central axis.
  • the invention also relates to an assembly comprising a device as described above, and beads of a cosmetic, toiletry, perfume or care product, stored on the track of the helical ramp, the pitch of said helical ramp and the width of its track each being greater than the diameter of a ball but less than twice the diameter of a ball, so that said balls are positioned one behind the other on said track of the helical ramp.
  • the figure 1 represents a device for dispensing a product in the form of balls.
  • This device is in particular suitable for dispensing beads of a cosmetic, toiletry, perfume or care product.
  • the device comprises a main body 1 intended essentially for the storage of the product balls, and comprising a mechanism for distributing said balls, visible at the figure 2 .
  • the main body 1 has an elongated shape. A first end of the main body 1 is closed off by a bottom 11. The second end comprises an actuator whose implementation allows the delivery of product balls, one by one.
  • the push button 2 of the device shown has, thanks to the indexing mechanism which will be described in more detail below with reference to figures 5 and 6 , a third so-called intermediate position, in which the push button is partially pressed into the main body 1, as shown in figure 3 .
  • This intermediate position constitutes the stable equilibrium position (in the absence of further pressure exerted on the push button) in which the push button is expected to be maintained between each use of the device for dispensing one or more product balls .
  • the delivery opening 21 is released only when the push button is in the released position. Thus, only the relaxed position allows the delivery of a ball. In the depressed or intermediate position, the delivery opening 21 is retracted into the main body. If necessary, it is also closed by a hatch as described in more detail below with reference to the figures 7 and 8 .
  • the main body 1 and the push button 2 have a substantially square base. This corresponds to essentially aesthetic concerns, the main body 1 and / or the push button possibly having for example a circular base (main body 1 cylindrical), oval, hexagonal, etc.

  • the distribution device comprises a helical ramp 3.
  • the helical ramp 3 forms a track 31 on which the balls B of product can be stored.
  • the helical ramp 3 is shaped (or, in correspondence, the balls intended for the device are shaped) so that the balls are placed one behind the other on said track.
  • the parameters which define the geometry of the ramp and which are in particular shaped for this purpose are the pitch P of the helix formed by the helical ramp 3 and the width L of the track 31. These dimensions are chosen so as to allow a ball to roll freely in the ramp, without allowing this ball to exchange its position on the ramp with another ball or that two balls of the same diameter or at least substantially the same diameter overlap in the height of the device (along the axis of extension of the main body 1) or in the width (at the same level of the helical ramp 3).
  • the pitch P of the helix formed by the helical ramp must be greater than the diameter of a ball, and considering that the thickness of the track must be very small relative to the pitch P, this pitch P may be less than twice the diameter of a ball B.
  • the width L of the track 31 must be greater than the diameter of a ball B and less than twice the diameter of a ball B.
  • the diameter of the product balls B can be between 3 mm and 15 mm, for example between 4mm and 10mm.
  • the diameter of the balls can be of the order of 5 mm.
  • the diameter of each ball is substantially identical.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates a device according to the embodiment of figures 1 and 2 , filled with marbles. This makes it possible to limit or avoid any risk of the balls jamming together in the device. This configuration also makes it possible to maximize the number of balls B that can be stored, taking into account the aforementioned imperative to avoid any blocking of the balls in the device.
  • a pusher 4 is provided in the ramp.
  • the pusher 4 comprises a cleat 41 interposed in the helical ramp.
  • the stopper 41 is positioned in contact with the ball B closest to the bottom 11 of the main body 1, which is also the last ball which will be dispensed when the device is completely emptied.
  • the pusher rises in the direction of the second end of the main body, or corollary of the dispensing opening, following track 31 of the helical ramp 3, each time a user actuates the actuator (for example the push button 2) of the device.
  • the pusher 4 pushes the ball resting on the stopper 41, which pushes the ball with which it is itself in contact, and so on. All the balls B present in the device thus go up along the helical ramp 3, and the ball furthest from the pusher is brought opposite the delivery opening, in order to be handed over to the user.

  • the pusher 4 is fixed in rotation with respect to the central axis 5, but free in translation along this central axis 5.
  • the pusher 4 is in a sliding connection on the central axis 5. This connection allows the pusher 4 to rise along the helical ramp 3 under the effect of a rotation of the central axis 5.
  • the sliding connection can be produced by a central axis 5 in the form of a right prism, c ' that is to say of a rod or a tube of polygonal section (square, triangular, hexagonal, octagonal), or of a rod or of a tube of any non-circular section, the pusher comprising a ring 42 having an internal section corresponding to the section of the central axis, with a clearance allowing the sliding of the ring 42 and therefore of the pusher 4 along the central axis 5.

  • the helical ramp can be rotatable. vis-à-vis the main body while the axis is fixed in rotation vis-à-vis said main body, which causes an identical movement of the pusher along the track 31 of the helical ramp 3.
  • the figure 5 is a detail view of an indexing mechanism between the movement of the actuator, that is to say of the push button 2, and of the central axis 5.
  • the means shown on figure 5 form an indexing mechanism 6, which ensures that each pressure followed by releasing the push button 2 results in a rotation of the central axis 5 at a determined angle.
  • This angle which also corresponds to the angle described by the pusher 4 and in particular the stopper 41 on the track 31 of the helical ramp 3 must be adapted to the diameter of the balls B to be distributed, or, in correspondence, the diameter of the balls must be adapted to the angle of rotation each time the push button is pressed 2.

  • the indexing mechanism 6 is rigidly linked to the central axis. It can be formed in one piece with said central axis 5.
  • the push button 2 when pressed, causes a translation of the central axis 5 and the helical ramp 4 in the main body 1, towards the bottom 11 of said main body 1. In fact, the push button 2 is supported on one end 51 of the central axis 5. The push button 2 is also resting on one end 32 of the helical ramp 3.
