专利说明:

[0001] The present invention relates to a fluid dispenser comprising a fluid reservoir, a pump mounted on the reservoir and a pusher mounted on the pump for actuating it. This is a very classic and minimalist design for a distributor in the fields of perfumery, cosmetics or even pharmacy. In the prior art, numerous dispensers are already known comprising a fluid product applicator which is in direct communication with the fluid product stored in the reservoir. The applicator can be integral with the reservoir, or on the contrary a gripping member that can be detached or separated from the reservoir. The loading of the applicator fluid product can be performed by turning or shaking the dispenser, or by suction, as for example in the document ... In the prior art, is also known conventional dispensers with a reservoir, a pump mounted on the tank and a pusher mounted on the pump to actuate it. These two types of dispensers (applicator and pump) belong to distinct families and differentiated applications. The object of the present invention is to define a new type of fluid dispenser whose basic characteristics are those of a conventional pump and pusher dispenser. Another object of the present invention is to combine in a single distributor the advantages of the two types of distributors (applicator and pump). Yet another object of the present invention is to ensure a repetitive and controlled loading of a fluid applicator. Yet another object of the present invention is to combine the characteristic gestures of dispenser applicators and pump dispensers. To achieve these various aims, the present invention proposes that the pusher comprises a base mounted fixedly on the pump and a gripping member removably mounted on the base, the gripping member comprising a fluid applicator, the organ gripper defining a bearing surface on which can be pressed axially to drive the base in displacement and thus actuate the pump to charge the applicator fluid product. Compared to a conventional pump dispenser, the dispenser of the invention is distinguished by the presence of the applicator which is integral with the pusher, itself incorporated into a gripping member. Compared to a conventional dispenser applicator, the present invention is distinguished by the presence of a pump for conveying the fluid to the applicator and a pusher on which the applicator of a fluid product is mounted. With the dispenser of the present invention, the user combines the two gestures, the two types of dispensers, namely the actuation of a pusher to dispense a dose of fluid and the use of the gripping member which is detached from the rest of the dispenser to be applied to an application surface such as skin, nails, hair, etc. According to an advantageous characteristic of the present invention, the base comprises a receiving cup for the applicator, the cup forming a supply port connected to the pump. The receiving cup can be directly mounted on the actuating rod of the pump. Preferably, the cup conforms to the shape of the applicator, and advantageously defines supply channels that extend radially outwardly from the supply port. This ensures that the entire dose dispensed by the pump reaches the fluid applicator, and this in a controlled manner, thanks to the presence of supply channels that extend in a specific direction. According to another advantageous aspect of the invention, the gripping member is sealingly mounted on the base, advantageously by crushing a seal. Thus, the applicator is hermetically sealed inside its receiving cup. Preferably, the gripping member is removably connected to the base by magnetic means. It is not necessary that the magnetic means are located on the base, but simply that the magnetic means allow a connection removably between the gripping member and the base. The magnetic means, as connecting means, are particularly advantageous because they allow a repositioning of the gripping member on the base without having to exert a pressing force on the base. This avoids inadvertent or involuntary operation of the pump. On the other hand, the magnetic means allow a quasi-automatic and centered repositioning. Finally, the magnetic means, because of the force of attraction exerted, allow the crushing of the seal which allows to hermetically isolate the applicator inside its receiving cup. According to another advantageous characteristic of the invention, the base slides, advantageously sealingly, in an axial guide sleeve integral with the reservoir. This ensures that there is no leakage of fluid inside the dispenser during its sliding movement inside the guide sleeve. According to another particularly advantageous aspect of the present invention, a fluid return passageway connects the base to the reservoir. Thus, the fluid dispensed by the pump into the receiving cup returns to the reservoir, as soon as the applicator is filled or saturated with fluid. For example, it is possible to imagine that a user presses the pusher several times so as to dispense a very large quantity of fluid product. The excess fluid product injected into the receiving cup may thus be redirected towards the reservoir. This ensures that the applicator is always filled or impregnated with the same amount of fluid and avoids any risk of fluid leakage created by an overpressure inside the receiving cup.
[0002] According to an advantageous embodiment, the gripping member comprises a gripping body in which a push button is movable back and forth, the applicator being integral in displacement of this push button, which is advantageously solicited by rest position by a return spring which acts between the gripping body and the push button. Preferably, the applicator is connected to a mounting bracket that slides sealingly into the gripper body, the push button being engaged with this mounting bracket. This is a particularly successful embodiment, but one can also imagine that the gripping member as a whole is a push button on which the fluid applicator is mounted. The spirit of the present invention resides in the fact of associating a fluid applicator with a pusher serving to actuate a pump for charging the applicator, the pusher being part of a gripping member which the user can grasp for separate it from the remainder of the dispenser and bring the applicator into contact with an application surface such as the skin.
[0003] The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, giving by way of non-limiting examples two embodiments of the invention. In the figures: FIG. 1 is a vertical cross-sectional view through a fluid dispenser according to a first embodiment of the invention; FIG. 2 represents the upper part of the dispenser of FIG. 1 in a greatly enlarged manner; FIGS. 3a and 3b show the gripping member separated from the remainder of the dispenser, respectively in the rest position and in the actuated position, and FIG. 4 is a view similar to that of FIG. 2 for a second embodiment of the invention. invention. Referring first to Figures 1 and 2 to describe in detail the structure of the fluid dispenser according to the first embodiment of the invention. It can be seen that the dispenser has an elongated configuration reminiscent of that of a pen or felt. Indeed, the fluid reservoir 1 is thin and long. In the non-limiting embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2, the reservoir 1 comprises a follower piston 11 intended to move by axial leaktight sliding inside the reservoir, in order to reduce its useful volume, as fluid is distributed. In the starting position, the follower piston 11 is disposed near an end of the tank opposite a neck 12 on which a pump 2 is mounted. Since pump 2 is not a critical element for the present invention, it will not be described in detail. It can be of a quite conventional type, with a pump body defining an inlet with an inlet valve, a pump chamber, a piston, and an outlet valve which allows the fluid product pressurized in the pump chamber to be discharged through a hollow actuating rod 21. For fixing on the neck 12, the pump 2 is provided with a fixing ring in which the pump is fixedly received and which clings to inside or outside the collar 12 in a fixed and sealed manner. This is quite a classic feature for a pump and its attachment to a reservoir in the field of pharmacy, cosmetics or even perfumery. It may however be noted that the reservoir 1 defines a bore 13 which passes through the wall thickness of the reservoir and which extends parallel to the side of the neck 12. The function of this bore 13 will be given below. According to the invention, a base 3 is mounted on the pump 2 so as to collect the fluid dispensed by the pump. The base 3 comprises a connecting sleeve 31 which engages with the free end of the actuating rod 21 of the pump 2. This sleeve 31 is extended by a feed orifice 32 which opens at the bottom of a receiving cup 33, which may have an inverted dome shape. From this supply port 32, the cup 33 internally forms a plurality of supply channels 34 which will ideally extend outwardly or in a star shape from the orifice 32. These channels 34 are in the form of grooves hollowed in the inner wall of the cavity 33. The channels 34 back on the inner wall of the cup 33 over a certain height, for example to the level where the cup becomes cylindrical. The function of these supply channels 34 is to distribute substantially uniformly or oriented fluid that is injected through the supply port 32 by the pump 2. It could also be said that the channels 34 can direct the fluid product on the inner wall of the cup 33. At its upper end, the cup 33 forms an annular flange 35 which is provided with a sealing lip 36 on its outer wall. From now on, it is understood that the displacement of the receiving cup 3 down towards the pump 2 will have the effect of driving the actuating rod 21 and thus generates the distribution of fluid product through the rod 21, then through the supply port 32 into the cavity 33 of the cup. The distributor also comprises a guiding sleeve 5 of very generally cylindrical shape, which extends around the base 3 to define a base sliding drum 54 in which slides the sealing lip 36 formed by the collar 35 of the base 3. Thus, the base 3 is perfectly axially guided during its movement to actuate the pump 2. In addition, there is no risk of leakage of fluid around the base 3, because of the sliding In the embodiment shown to illustrate the present invention, the guide sleeve 5 comprises a section 51 which extends around the pump 2 to engage around the neck 12 of the reservoir. 1. This ensures a perfect stability of the sleeve 5 on the tank 1. At its upper end, the axial guide sleeve 5 comprises one or more magnets (s) 53 or a magnetic ring, which extend around base 3. In place of magnets 53, it is also possible to provide a ferromagnetic material. We will see below what is the function of this magnetized or ferromagnetic element. On the other hand, the axial guide sleeve 5 also forms a cannula 52 whose end is engaged through the bore 13 of the reservoir 1. On the other hand, a duct 37, preferably flexible, connects the cup 33 to the duct 52. The duct 37 can for example lead into the cup 33 just above the upper end of the supply ducts 34. The flexibility of the duct 37 is explained by the fact that the base 3 is axially displaceable over a certain stroke, while the cannula 52 is fixed, since mounted on the reservoir 1. The duct 37 and the cannula 52 together define a fluid return passage which directly connects the base 3 to the fluid reservoir 1. The duct 37 can for example pass through a perforated portion 57 of the axial guide sleeve 5. The dispenser of the invention also comprises a gripping member 4 which is mounted on both the base 3 and the guide bushing axial 5. In this mode of r 7, the gripping member 4 comprises a gripping body 40 which defines an upper housing 41 and a lower sliding cylinder 42. The housing 41 communicates directly with the cylinder 42, so that the gripping body 40 is internally hollow. At its lower end, the gripping body 40 comprises one or more magnet (s) 43, or even a magnetic ring, which extends around the slide cylinder 42. In place of magnets, a ferromagnetic material can also be provided. . Referring to FIG. 2, it can be seen that the magnets 43 of the gripping body 40 are situated directly opposite the magnets 53 mounted on the sleeve 5. Thus, because of the magnetic attraction, the gripping member 40 is connected detachably to the receiving base 3 and the axial guide sleeve 5. In order to guarantee a seal at the base 3 and the bushing 5, there is provided a seal 44 which surrounds the sliding cylinder 42 and which collapses on the bushing 5 and / or the base 3. The seal 44 may be integral with the gripping member 40, the sleeve 5 or the base 3. These magnetic connection means formed by the magnets 43 and 53, not only allow automatic repositioning of the gripping member 4, but also a crushing of the seal 44, and especially to avoid unintentional actuation of the pump 2. Indeed, it is sufficient to deposit the gripping member 4 on the base 3, without exerting a fo The gripping member 4 also comprises a mounting support 45 provided with a sealing lip 46 adapted to slide in a sealing manner in the sliding cylinder 42 of the gripping body 40. fluid product applicator 47 is connected to this mounting bracket 45 so as to project downwardly inside the cup 33, as shown very clearly in FIG. 2. It may be noted that the applicator 47 fits perfectly with the internal surface of the cup 33, or vice versa: only the supply channels 34 are not closed by the applicator 47. Any suitable material can be used to produce the applicator 47, such as a porous material, foam, felt, sintered material, etc. At its upper end, the mounting bracket 45 is fixedly connected to a push button 48 which is received in the housing 41. The push button 48 defines a bearing surface S. A return spring 49, which bears at its end lower on the mounting body 40, urges the push button 48 in the rest position, in which it projects out of the housing 41.
[0004] The dispenser may also optionally comprise a protective cover 6 which covers the gripping member 4 and the axial guide sleeve 5. The gripping member 4, in its rest position, is as shown in FIG. 3a. . The mounting bracket 45 is urged against a shoulder formed by the gripping body 40. Only the applicator 47 projects downwardly from the seal 44, itself surrounded from the outside by the magnets 43. this rest position, the applicator 47 is housed in the receiving base 3 without exerting considerable axial force downwards. The pump 2 is at rest, its actuating rod 21 is extended to the maximum. The magnets 43, 53 are also brought as close together as possible, so as to hold firmly, but nevertheless removably, the gripping member 4 on the base 3 and the socket 5. From this rest position, the user can press axially downward on the pushbutton 48 against the return spring 49 so as to move the mounting bracket 45 and the applicator 47 down. The base 3 is forced to move downwards with the actuating rod 21 of the pump 2. This results in the distribution of a dose of fluid through the actuating rod 21, then through the supply port 32 and the supply channels 34 in the cup 33 where the applicator 47 is located. The latter impregnates itself and takes charge of fluid product. Advantageously, it is possible to size the applicator 47 or the pump 2, so that a single actuation of the pump is sufficient to fill the applicator 47.
[0005] In the case where the user actuates the pushbutton 48 several times, the excess of fluid product injected into the cup 33 is returned to the reservoir 1 through the conduit 37 and the cannula 52. After actuation of the pushbutton 48, the user grasps the gripping member 4 by its gripping body 40 and separates it from the sleeve 5 and the cup 3 by overcoming the magnetic attraction force exerted by the magnets 43, 53. The applicator 47 is then at the free air and can be brought into contact with a dedicated application surface, such as skin, nails, hair, etc. Once the application is completed, the user simply rests the gripping member 4 on the base 3 and the sleeve 5 without exerting a pressure force, the magnetic connection means alone ensuring the holding of the organ 4. The depressed position of the pushbutton 48 is shown in FIG. 3b. It can be seen that the spring 49 is strongly compressed and that the mounting bracket 45 is now projecting downward below the seal 44. Reference will now be made to FIG. 4 which shows a second embodiment of the invention. The main difference with the first embodiment is that there is no gripping body in which slides a push button, a mounting bracket and the applicator. In this second, more minimalist embodiment, the fluid applicator 47 is mounted in a mounting bracket 45 'which is directly fixedly encased in a mounting body 40', which defines a bearing surface S. gripping body 40 'also comprises one or more magnet (s) 43, or even a magnetic ring, arranged around the mounting bracket 45'. Instead of these magnets 43, it is also possible to provide a ferromagnetic material. On the other hand, it may be noted that the base 3 'comprises at its flange 35' (which forms the sliding lip 36) one or more magnet (s) 38, or even a magnetic ring, and a seal 39. As in the first embodiment, the magnets 43, 38, because of their mutual magnetic attraction, allow to compress the seal 39 and to seal between the gripping member 4 'and the base 3 '. It should be noted that the sealing lip 36 of the base 3 'slides inside a sliding shaft 54 formed by an axial guide sleeve 5'. In this second embodiment, the gripping member 4 'in its entirety is moved axially to drive with it the base 3' and thus actuate the pump 2. Although not shown, the cup 33 may also be provided with a return passage of fluid to the reservoir, as in the first embodiment. Once the applicator 47 filled with fluid product, the user separates the gripping member 4 'of the base 3' and can put the applicator 47 in contact with a suitable application surface. The gripping member 4 'is a monobloc element, unlike the gripping member 4 of the first embodiment, in which the push button 4, the mounting bracket 45 and the fluid product applicator 47 are displaceable. relative to the gripping body 40.
[0006] Thanks to the invention, there is a pump dispenser and applicator whose pusher for actuating the pump is provided with the fluid applicator.
