Description

La présente invention concerne une tête de distribution et son capuchon pour récipient de produit liquide.The present invention relates to a dispensing head and its cap for liquid product container.

Les têtes de distribution comprennent généralement une face d'appui manuel pour l'actionnement des moyens de délivrance du produit et un embout d'éjection pourvu d'un conduit interne d'évacuation susceptible d'être alimenté par lesdits moyens de délivrance via un élément de raccord éventuellement amovible.Dispensing heads generally include one side manual support for actuating the means of delivery of the product and an ejection nozzle provided with an internal conduit evacuation capable of being supplied by said means of delivery via a possibly removable connection element.

Cependant, les embouts des têtes traditionnelles ne permettent pas d'acheminer le produit vers une zone précise sans entraíner de pertes notables.However, the tips of traditional heads do not allow not to transport the product to a specific area without causing losses notable.

En outre, après distribution, les embouts renferment toujours un reliquat de produit qui reste alors au contact de l'air ambiant jusqu'à la prochaine séquence de distribution et qui est donc susceptible de se dégrader ou de se contaminer avant d'être délivré à son tour.In addition, after distribution, the tips always contain a product residue which then remains in contact with ambient air until the next distribution sequence and which is therefore likely to occur degrade or become contaminated before being delivered in turn.

Bien qu'il existe déjà des capuchons destinés à obturer les embouts leur emploi n'est pas satisfaisant car ils sont de petites dimensions, ce qui conduit souvent à les égarer et/ou à ne pas les remarquer lorsqu'il sont en place.Although there are already caps intended to close off the their use is not satisfactory because they are small dimensions, which often leads to losing them and / or not notice when they are in place.

Le GB 1 206 792 (SPERRY RAND CORPORATION) décrit une tête de distribution pour récipient de produit liquide. Cette tête comprend une face d'appui manuel pour l'actionnement de moyens de délivrance du produit constitués ici d'une valve et un embout d'éjection pourvu d'un conduit interne d'évacuation.GB 1 206 792 (SPERRY RAND CORPORATION) describes a dispensing head for a container of liquid product. This head includes a manual support face for actuating means of product delivery here consisting of a valve and an ejection nozzle provided with an internal evacuation duct.

L'embout est constitué d'une tige creuse légèrement inclinée vers le récipient. Cependant, il n'est pas prévu d'obturer la tige de cet embout.The tip consists of a slightly inclined hollow rod to the container. However, there are no plans to seal the stem of this mouthpiece.

La présente invention a pour but de résoudre les problèmes techniques liés à l'art antérieur.The object of the present invention is to solve the problems techniques related to the prior art.

Ce but est atteint conformément à l'invention au moyen d'une tête de distribution et de son capuchon pour recipient de produit liquide, du type comprenant une face d'appui manuel pour l'actionnement des moyens de délivrance du produit et un embout d'éjection pourvu d'un conduit interne d'évacuation susceptible d'être alimenté par lesdits moyens de délivrance via un élément de raccord éventuellement amovible, ledit embout étant constitué d'une tige creuse inclinée vers le récipient, caractérisée en ce que ladite tige est adaptée pour recevoir un capuchon amovible constitué d'un tube destiné à s'emmancher extérieurement par une extrémité sur ladite tige de façon coulissante et obturé à son autre extrémité par une paroi transversale dont la face externe est concave et la face interne porte un ergot coaxial susceptible de s'engager de façon coulissante dans le conduit interne de l'embout.This object is achieved in accordance with the invention by means of a dispensing head and its cap for liquid product container, of the type comprising a manual support face for actuating the means product delivery and an ejection nozzle provided with a conduit internal evacuation capable of being supplied by said means of delivery via a possibly removable connecting element, said tip consisting of a hollow rod inclined towards the container, characterized in that said rod is adapted to receive a cap removable consisting of a tube intended to be fitted externally by one end on said rod slidingly and closed at its other end by a transverse wall whose external face is concave and the internal face carries a coaxial lug capable of engaging so sliding in the internal duct of the nozzle.

De préférence, ladite paroi transversale a une surface supérieure à la section du tube pour former une base de support stable du capuchon.Preferably, said transverse wall has an upper surface to the section of the tube to form a stable support base for the cap.

Selon une caractéristique, l'extrémité libre de l'ergot a une section tronconique. According to one characteristic, the free end of the lug has a frustoconical section.

Selon une autre caractéristique, ledit embout est délimité vers l'amont du conduit par un épaulement formant butée pour le bord de l'extrémité dudit tube.According to another characteristic, said tip is delimited towards upstream of the duct by a shoulder forming a stop for the edge of the end of said tube.

Selon encore d'autres caractéristiques, la tige est inclinée avec un angle α compris entre 0° et 150° par rapport à l'axe du récipient et la face d'appui manuel a un profil concave.According to still other characteristics, the rod is inclined with an angle α between 0 ° and 150 ° relative to the axis of the container and the manual support face has a concave profile.

La tête de l'invention assure un mode de distribution précis et économique.The head of the invention ensures a precise mode of distribution and economic.

L'inclinaison de la tige de l'embout permet la purge totale de la tête sans qu'il soit nécessaire de renverser le réservoir.The inclination of the rod of the nozzle allows the total purge of the head without the need to overturn the tank.

En outre, le capuchon amovible est très ergonomique. Il offre une prise aisée à l'utilisateur et assure une protection mécanique et sanitaire très efficace de la tige.In addition, the removable cap is very ergonomic. He offers easy grip for the user and provides mechanical protection and very effective sanitary of the stem.

Sa conception, originale sur le plan esthétique lui confère, en outre sur le plan technique, une grande stabilité et une bonne maniabilité.Its design, original on the aesthetic level, gives it, in in addition to the technical aspect, great stability and good maneuverability.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui va suivre accompagnée des dessins sur lesquels :

  • les figures 1a et 1b représentent des vues en coupe d'un mode de réalisation de la tête de distribution de l'invention avec respectivement l'embout en position d'ouverture et le capuchon en position de support vertical ;
  • la figure 2 représente une vue en coupe du mode de réalisation de la figure 1 en position de fermeture de l'embout ;
  • la figure 3 représente une vue en coupe du mode de réalisation des figures 1 et 2 après assemblage sur un réservoir.
The invention will be better understood on reading the description which follows, accompanied by the drawings in which:
  • Figures 1a and 1b show sectional views of an embodiment of the dispensing head of the invention with the nozzle respectively in the open position and the cap in the vertical support position;
  • 2 shows a sectional view of the embodiment of Figure 1 in the closed position of the nozzle;
  • 3 shows a sectional view of the embodiment of Figures 1 and 2 after assembly on a tank.

La tête de distribution T de l'invention est destinée à être montée sur un récipient R de produit liquide comme représenté sur la figure 3.The dispensing head T of the invention is intended to be mounted on a container R of liquid product as shown in the figure 3.

Ce récipient R est généralement équipé de moyens de délivrance du produit tels qu'une pompe P.This container R is generally equipped with delivery means product such as a P pump.

La tête T comprend une face d'appui manuel 1 à profil concave pour l'actionnement des moyens de délivrance P et un embout d'éjection 2 pourvu d'un conduit interne d'évacuation 20. Le conduit 20 est susceptible d'être alimenté par les moyens P via un élément de raccord 3, de préférence amovible. The head T comprises a manual support face 1 with a concave profile for actuating the delivery means P and an ejection nozzle 2 provided with an internal evacuation duct 20. The duct 20 is capable of being supplied by means P via a connection element 3, preferably removable.

L'élément de raccord 3 est ici réalisé sous forme d'un manchon interne dont la partie inférieure vient coiffer la partie supérieure du gicleur g de la pompe P.The connecting element 3 is here produced in the form of a sleeve internal, the lower part of which covers the upper part of the nozzle g of pump P.

Ainsi le gicleur g débouche dans un alésage axial cylindrique 30 communiquant à son extrémité supérieure avec le conduit d'évacuation 20 de l'embout 2.Thus the nozzle g opens into a cylindrical axial bore 30 communicating at its upper end with the exhaust duct 20 of nozzle 2.

La tête T peut ainsi être aisément séparée du récipient R. Ce qui simplifie l'emballage et le stockage de l'ensemble.The head T can thus be easily separated from the container R. Which simplifies the packaging and storage of the whole.

L'embout 2 est constitué d'une tige creuse 21 inclinée vers le bas et vers le récipient à la manière d'une trompe avec un angle α compris entre 0° et 150° en fonction des applications envisagées et sur les figures, égal à environ 135° par rapport à l'axe X du récipient R.The end piece 2 consists of a hollow rod 21 inclined downwards and towards the container like a trunk with an angle α included between 0 ° and 150 ° depending on the applications envisaged and on the figures, equal to approximately 135 ° with respect to the X axis of the container R.

L'embout 2 est adapté pour recevoir un capuchon amovible 4 constitué d'un tube 40 obturé à une extrémité et destiné à s'emmancher extérieurement par son autre extrémité sur la tige 21 de façon coulissante comme représenté sur la figure 2.The nozzle 2 is adapted to receive a removable cap 4 consisting of a tube 40 closed at one end and intended to be fitted externally by its other end on the rod 21 so sliding as shown in figure 2.

Le tube 40 est obturé par une paroi transversale 41 dont la face externe 41a est concave et la face interne 41b porte un ergot coaxial 42 destiné à s'engager de façon coulissante dans le conduit 20 de l'embout 2.The tube 40 is closed by a transverse wall 41 whose face outer 41a is concave and the inner face 41b carries a coaxial pin 42 intended to slide into the conduit 20 of end piece 2.

De préférence, l'extrémité libre 42a de l'ergot 42 a une section tronconique facilitant son introduction et son coulissement dans le conduit 20.Preferably, the free end 42a of the lug 42 has a section frustoconical facilitating its introduction and its sliding in the conduit 20.

Dans ces conditions, il existe un léger serrage radial entre, d'une part, la paroi interne du tube 40 et la paroi externe de la tige 21 de l'embout 2, et entre la paroi interne du conduit 20 et l'ergot 42, d'autre part, ce qui garantit l'étanchéité de l'assemblage.Under these conditions, there is a slight radial tightening between, of a hand, the inner wall of the tube 40 and the outer wall of the rod 21 of the nozzle 2, and between the internal wall of the conduit 20 and the lug 42, on the other part, which guarantees the tightness of the assembly.

L'embout 2 est délimité vers l'amont du conduit 20 par un épaulement 22 formant butée pour le bord d'extrémité du tube 40 du capuchon 4 tout en présentant un profil cylindrique sans discontinuité entre la tête T et ledit capuchon.The end piece 2 is delimited upstream of the conduit 20 by a shoulder 22 forming a stop for the end edge of the tube 40 of the cap 4 while presenting a cylindrical profile without discontinuity between the head T and said cap.

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, les longueurs relatives du tube 40 et de la tige 21 sont telles qu'en position d'assemblage (figure 2), il subsiste un léger espace libre entre le bord d'extrémité de la tige 21 et la paroi 41, dans le fond du tube 40. In the embodiment shown, the relative lengths tube 40 and rod 21 are such that in the assembly position (figure 2), there remains a slight free space between the end edge of the rod 21 and the wall 41, in the bottom of the tube 40.

La paroi transversale 41 du capuchon 4 a une surface supérieure à la section du tube de façon à former une base de support stable pour maintenir le tube 40 en position verticale comme représenté sur la figure 1b.The transverse wall 41 of the cap 4 has an upper surface to the section of the tube so as to form a stable support base for maintain the tube 40 in an upright position as shown in the Figure 1b.
