Abstract

A device for spraying a certain amount of a liquid or viscous product onto the surface of the body, enabling the scalp or body to be washed (in the shower or bath) more quickly and easily than usual. The device consists of a housing (1) containing a pump and two flexible hoses (5 and 11) for spraying a soapy liquid onto the user. A connector (4) is provided at the lower end of the housing (1) for holding a refill bottle (3) containing a body detergent. Said device is designed to be attached to the wall surfaces of showers or baths.

Description

DISTRIBUTEUR DOSEUR DE PRODUIT LIQUIDE OU VISQUEUX DISPENSER DISPENSER OF LIQUID OR VISCOUS PRODUCT

La présente invention concerne un appareil spécialisé pour la distribution de produit liquide ou visqueux dans le domaine de l'hygiène corporelle. The present invention relates to a specialized device for dispensing a liquid or viscous product in the field of personal hygiene.

Lors de la prise d'une douche ou d'un bain,il y a perte de temps, pendant lequelle on cherche et l'on prend la bouteille contenant le détergent corporel,on dévice le bouchon de celle-ci, on verse dans la paume de la main une dose imprécise de shampoing que l'on dépose ensuite sur la tête,puis l'on replace la bouteille au sol ou sur le support de douche . Après le lavage du cuir chevelu, on rebouche la bouteille... Cette préparation afin αe se laver est bien longue et peu pratique. Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier a ces inconvénients. When taking a shower or a bath, there is a waste of time, during which we look for and we take the bottle containing the body detergent, we unscrew the cap of it, we pour in the palm of the hand an imprecise dose of shampoo which one deposits then on the head, then one places the bottle on the ground or on the support of shower. After washing the scalp, the bottle is capped ... This preparation to wash is very long and impractical. The device according to the invention overcomes these drawbacks.

L'invention concerne un tel appareil dans lequel la manoeuvre destinée à commander la distribution de la quantité dosée de savon liquide ou visqueux,est déclenchée par une simple pression de la main sur un The invention relates to such an apparatus in which the operation intended to control the distribution of the metered quantity of liquid or viscous soap, is triggered by a simple pressure of the hand on a

"champignon" poussoir directement relié à une pompe grâce à laquelle le déplacement du détergent contenu dans un réservoir sous forme de bouteille recharge,est possible. "mushroom" pusher directly connected to a pump thanks to which the movement of the detergent contained in a tank in the form of refill bottle is possible.

Un tel appareil permettant cette action se présente sous la forme d'un "L" renversé, susceptible d'être immobilisé sur une surface murale. La partie principale (verticale) du corps,destinée à être fixée cortre la paroi murale,possède à son extrémité inferieture,une fixation permettant le maintien d'un récipient contenant la réserve de produit savoneux, dans lequel plonge une tubulure souple,reliée à l'embouchure inférieure de la pompe. Such a device allowing this action is in the form of an inverted "L", capable of being immobilized on a wall surface. The main (vertical) part of the body, intended to be fixed against the wall, has at its lower end, a fixing allowing the maintenance of a container containing the reserve of soap product, in which plunges a flexible tubing, connected to the '' lower mouth of the pump.

La simple pression du "champignon" poussoir, situé à hauteur de la taille, (à l'extérieur du carter), comprime le détergent se trouvant dans la pompe (sittiée à I' intérieur du carter), provoquant la montée de cette dose de produit,par l'intermédiaire d'une autre tubulure souple, The simple pressure of the "mushroom" pusher, located at the waist, (outside the housing), compresses the detergent in the pump (sittied I 'inside the housing), causing the increase of this dose of product, through other flexible tubing,

emboitée à l'extrémité supérieure de la pompe, jusqu'à l'embouchure du tuyau,se situant au dessus de la tête de l'utilisateur. Cet appareil destiné à être fixé à la surface murale des douches, peut tout aussi bien s'adapter au dessus des baignoires. Non seulement il offre un gain de faemps pour l 'utilisateur, mais aussi ne nécessite pas fitted at the upper end of the pump, up to the mouth of the hose, located above the user's head. This device, intended to be fixed to the wall surface of showers, can just as easily be fitted above baths. Not only does it save time for the user, it also does not require

d'entretien important, contrairement aux supports de bouteilles de shampoing et de savons.. . maintenance, unlike supports for shampoo bottles and soaps.

Un socle ( 1 )fixé au mur par quatre vis inoxydables(2), ( ou autre fixa tion ) supporte un réservoir ou flacon(3) contenant la rgserve de savon liquide . A base (1) fixed to the wall by four stainless screws (2), (or other fixing) supports a reservoir or bottle (3) containing the reserve of liquid soap.

L 'extrémité intérieure du dit flacon, se poursuit au delà de la fixation(4) par une première tubulure (5) , reliée à l 'extrémité inférieure de la pompe(6) dans laquelle se trouve une première bille soupape , en métal inoxydable , assurant la bonne ascention du liquide savonneux lors de la pression, du poussoir (8)qui actionne le piston de la pompe (9) . The inner end of said bottle continues beyond the fixing (4) by a first tube (5), connected to the lower end of the pump (6) in which is a first valve ball, made of stainless metal. , ensuring the proper ascension of the soapy liquid during pressure, of the pusher (8) which actuates the piston of the pump (9).

Lors de cet exercice, le savon se dirige vers l 'extrémité supérieure de la pompe (10) , puis remonte dans l'autre tubulure ( 11)formant un angle droit(12) afin que l'extrémité de ce tube (13) se retrouve au dessus de la ttte de l' utilisateur. During this exercise, the soap goes to the upper end of the pump (10), then goes up into the other tubing (11) forming a right angle (12) so that the end of this tube (13) found above the head of the user.

Une fois le piston(9)arrivé contre la butée,un resbort(14)assure son retour,de manière à remplir de nouveau le cylindre doseur,de façon à être prèt à la manoeuvre suivante. Once the piston (9) arrived against the stop, a spring (14) ensures its return, so as to refill the dosing cylinder, so as to be ready for the next operation.

Le flacon(3)réalisé notament en matériau identique à celui des boutteilles de shampoing ou autres liquides savonneux,pourait avoir la même contenance que ceux-ci. The bottle (3) made in particular of material identical to that of bottles of shampoo or other soapy liquids, could have the same capacity as these.

Lorsqu'il est vide,il peut donc %tre retiré, jeté,et remplacé par un flaconplein. When empty, it can therefore be removed, discarded, and replaced by a full bottle.
