Description

L'invention concerne un pot distributeur pour produits pâteux du type comprenant une enceinte étanche contenant le produit à distribuer sous vide d'air, ladite enceinte comportant une pompe distributrice actionnée par une coupelle.The invention relates to a dispenser jar for pasty products of the type comprising a sealed enclosure containing the product to be dispensed under vacuum, said enclosure comprising a dispensing pump actuated by a cup.

L'enfoncement de la coupelle provoque l'ouverture de la pompe et la sortie du produit sous vide grâce au fait que la coupelle entraîne un organe d'ouverture de la pompe. Le produit pâteux ou non tel qu'un produit cosmétique ou alimentaire, peut être contenu dans un sac formant l'enceinte étanche, la pompe comprenant un tube plongeur protégé par une crépine. La mise sous vide du sac peut être effectuée de diverses manières.The depression of the cup causes the opening of the pump and the exit of the product under vacuum thanks to the fact that the cup drives an opening member of the pump. The pasty product or not, such as a cosmetic or food product, may be contained in a bag forming the sealed enclosure, the pump comprising a dip tube protected by a strainer. The bag can be evacuated in various ways.

La pompe elle-même, qui peut être une pompe étanche à l'air, comporte un tube coulissant contre l'action d'un ressort. L'enfoncement de ce tube par l'intermédiaire de la coupelle déplace l'obturateur de la pompe en position d'ouverture et le produit sous vide sort de l'enceinte par l'intérieur du tube et est distribué, par exemple, par l'intermédiaire de trous ménagés dans la coupelle.The pump itself, which can be an airtight pump, has a sliding tube against the action of a spring. The insertion of this tube through the cup moves the shutter of the pump in the open position and the vacuum product leaves the enclosure through the interior of the tube and is distributed, for example, by the 'through holes in the cup.

Dans le cas d'un pot allongé dans lequel la coupelle a un diamètre relativement faible, une faible course de la coupelle est suffisante pour actionner la pompe.In the case of an elongated pot in which the cup has a relatively small diameter, a short stroke of the cup is sufficient to actuate the pump.

Par contre, dans le cas de pots de hauteur relativement faible, le diamètre de la coupelle est proportionnellement grand, c'est-à-dire que la coupelle occupe pratiquement le diamètre du pot, afin de permettre le passage du ou des doigts appuyant sur la coupelle. Dans ce cas, la course d'enfoncement de la coupelle est grande par rapport aux dimensions d'ensemble du pot afin d'obtenir un déplacement suffisant de l'obturateur de valve. Il s'ensuit des difficultés de guidage de la coupelle qui n'ont pu être résolues de manière satisfaisante jusqu'à présent.On the other hand, in the case of pots of relatively small height, the diameter of the cup is proportionally large, that is to say that the cup occupies practically the diameter of the pot, in order to allow the passage of the finger or fingers pressing on the cup. In this case, the depression stroke of the cup is large compared to the overall dimensions of the pot in order to obtain sufficient movement of the valve shutter. It follows difficulties guiding the cup which could not be resolved satisfactorily so far.

En conséquence, l'invention vise à perfectionner un pot distributeur du type décrit en annexe de manière à autoriser une course suffisante de la coupelle pour actionner la valve sans risque de blocage de la coupelle, et ceci quel que soit l'emplacement d'appui sur la coupelle.Consequently, the invention aims to improve a dispenser pot of the type described in the annex so as to allow a sufficient stroke of the cup to actuate the valve without risk of blocking of the cup, and this regardless of the support location. on the cup.

A cet effet, le pot distributeur selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce que la coupelle comporte une jupe périphérique en forme de segment sphérique dont le bord périphérique libre forme une collerette externe coopérant avec un rebord interne ménagé à l'extrémité d'une paroi cylindrique du pot, la partie centrale de la coupelle comprenant une couronne dirigée vers l'intérieur du pot et dont l'extrémité intérieure libre coopère avec jeu avec l'organe d'actionnement de la pompe, l'organe d'actionnement de la pompe portant une pièce sphérique sur laquelle pivote ladite extrémité libre de la couronne réalisée sous forme du segment sphérique.To this end, the distributor pot according to the invention is characterized in that the cup comprises a peripheral skirt in the form of a spherical segment, the free peripheral edge of which forms an external flange cooperating with an internal rim formed at the end of a wall. cylindrical of the pot, the central part of the cup comprising a crown directed towards the inside of the pot and the free internal end of which cooperates with play with the actuator of the pump, the actuator of the pump carrying a spherical piece on which pivots said free end of the crown produced in the form of the spherical segment.

L'enfoncement de la coupelle en un point quelconque produit un arc-boutement du point de la collerette, situé à l'extrémité du diamètre passant par le point d'actionnement et diamétralement opposé à celui-ci, contre le point correspondant du rebord interne. Le bord opposé de la coupelle pivote en enfonçant l'organe d'actionnement de la pompe. Le bord de la collerette diamétralement opposé au point d'arc-boutement subit donc une rotation en étant guidé sur le rebord interne du couvercle.The insertion of the cup at any point produces a bracing of the point of the collar, located at the end of the diameter passing through the actuation point and diametrically opposite to it, against the corresponding point of the internal rim. The opposite edge of the cup pivots by pushing in the actuator of the pump. The edge of the collar diametrically opposite to the point of bracing therefore undergoes rotation while being guided on the internal rim of the cover.

Selon une forme de réalisation de l'invention, l'organe d'actionnement de la pompe porte une pièce sphérique sur laquelle pivote ladite extrémité libre de la couronne réalisée sous forme du segment sphérique. On obtient ainsi un guidage supplémentaire de la coupelle en pivotement.According to one embodiment of the invention, the actuating member of the pump carries a spherical part on which pivots said free end of the crown produced in the form of the spherical segment. This provides additional guidance of the pivoting cup.

De préférence, l'enceinte est montée de manière étanche dans un boîtier intermédiaire muni d'une ouverture débouchant dans ladite enceinte et obturée avant assemblage entre deux parties du pot, ladite ouverture étant libérée lors de l'assemblage du pot. L'enceinte dans le boîtier intermédiaire constitue une recharge permettant de conserver le pot et la pompe après vidage de l'enceinte.Preferably, the enclosure is mounted in a sealed manner in an intermediate housing provided with an opening opening into said enclosure and closed before assembly between two parts of the pot, said opening being released during assembly of the pot. The enclosure in the intermediate housing constitutes a refill making it possible to keep the pot and the pump after emptying the enclosure.

L'invention sera bien comprise à la lecture de la description suivante faite en se référant au dessin annexé dans lequel :

  • la figure 1 est une vue schématique en coupe diamétrale d'un pot distributeur selon un exemple de réalisation de l'invention, et
  • la figure 2 est une vue analogue à la figure 1, pour une variante avant assemblage.
The invention will be clearly understood on reading the following description made with reference to the appended drawing in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic view in diametral section of a dispenser pot according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, and
  • Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1, for a variant before assembly.

Le pot selon l'exemple de réalisation de la figure 1 comprend une cuve 1 fermée par un haut de cuve 2. Un sac 3, dont le bord est emprisonné lors du remplissage entre la cuve 1 et le haut du cuve 2, contient le produit à distribuer. Ce produit est maintenu sous vide, par exemple grâce au fait que le sac 3 est rétractile. Au centre du haut de cuve 2 est montée une pompe étanche à l'air 4 dont l'obturateur (non représenté) est déplacé par un tube 5 coulissant contre l'action d'un ressort (non représenté) et éjectant le produit sous pression en contact avec l'obturateur qui est prolongé dans la cuve 1 par un plongeur 6 lui-même entouré par une crépine 7. Une coupelle 8, en appui sur l'extrémité libre du tube 5, permet l'enfoncement du tube 5 et, donc, l'éjection d'une quantité de produit.The pot according to the embodiment of Figure 1 comprises a tank 1 closed by a tank top 2. A bag 3, the edge of which is trapped during filling between the tank 1 and the top of the tank 2, contains the product to distribute. This product is kept under vacuum, for example thanks to the fact that the bag 3 is retractable. In the center of the top of the tank 2 is mounted a airtight pump 4, the shutter (not shown) moved by a tube 5 sliding against the action of a spring (not shown) and ejecting the product under pressure in contact with the shutter which is extended in the tank 1 by a plunger 6 itself surrounded by a strainer 7. A cup 8, bearing on the free end of the tube 5, allows the insertion of the tube 5 and, therefore, the ejection of a quantity of product.

Conformément à la présente invention, la coupelle 8 présente une jupe périphérique 9 en forme de segment sphérique terminée par une collerette 10 tournée vers l'intérieur. Le couvercle 2 comporte une paroi cylindrique 11 terminée par un rebord interne 12 avec lequel coopère, en position de repos représentée au dessin, la collerette 10 de la coupelle 8.According to the present invention, the cup 8 has a peripheral skirt 9 in the form of a spherical segment terminated by a collar 10 facing inward. The cover 2 comprises a cylindrical wall 11 terminated by an internal rim 12 with which cooperates, in the rest position shown in the drawing, the flange 10 of the cup 8.

La face intérieure de la coupelle 8 comporte une couronne centrale 13 terminée par une portion 14 dont l'intérieur a la forme d'un segment sphérique concentrique à la jupe 9. La portion 14 de la couronne 13 est montée avec jeu sur une pièce sphérique 15 elle-même montée sur l'extrémité libre du tube 5 et comportant un alésage radial 16 prolongeant ce tube 5. En regard de l'alésage 16, la coupelle 8 comporte une paroi percée d'une pluralité de trous de distribution qui peuvent être fermés par un obturateur de sécurité et de garantie 17 par exemple auto-collant.The inner face of the cup 8 has a central crown 13 terminated by a portion 14 the interior of which has the shape of a spherical segment concentric with the skirt 9. The portion 14 of the crown 13 is mounted with play on a spherical part 15 itself mounted on the free end of the tube 5 and having a radial bore 16 extending this tube 5. Opposite the bore 16, the cup 8 has a wall pierced with a plurality of distribution holes which can be closed by a safety and guarantee shutter 17, for example self-adhesive.

Lorsque l'utilisateur appuie sur la coupelle 8 en un point A, la pièce sphérique ou bille 15 est abaissée en entraînant le tube 5 qui provoque l'ouverture de la pompe 4. Au cours de ce mouvement, le jeu de la couronne 13 permet au point B, diamétralement opposé au point A sur la collerette 10, de rester en appui sur le point adjacent du rebord 12 du haut de cuve 2. Par contre, la portion de la couronne 13 contenue dans le plan du point A pivote sans jeu sur la bille 15, de sorte que le point C de la collerette 13 diamétralement opposé au point B pivote concentriquement au centre 18 de la bille 15.When the user presses on the cup 8 at a point A, the spherical part or ball 15 is lowered by driving the tube 5 which causes the opening of the pump 4. During this movement, the play of the crown 13 allows at point B, diametrically opposite to point A on the flange 10, to rest on the adjacent point of the rim 12 of the top of the tank 2. On the other hand, the portion of the crown 13 contained in the plane of point A pivots without play on the ball 15, so that the point C of the flange 13 diametrically opposite the point B pivots concentrically at the center 18 of the ball 15.

La portion de la jupe 9 adjacente au point C dans le plan diamétral passant par les points A, B et C reste donc guidée contre le rebord 12 puisqu'elle subit une rotation autour de son centre 18.The portion of the skirt 9 adjacent to point C in the diametral plane passing through points A, B and C therefore remains guided against the rim 12 since it is rotated around its center 18.

Dans la forme de réalisation de la figure 2, qui est sensiblement identique à celle de la figure 1, le sac 3 est fixé par un joint d'étanchéité 50 entre le fond 51 et le couvercle encliqueté 52 d'un boîtier intermédiaire 53. Le couvercle 52 comporte une ouverture centrale 54 obturée par un film d'étanchéité 55. L'ensemble constitue une recharge enfermée dans le fond de cuve 1 fermé par le haut de cuve 2 encliqueté. Au cours de l'enfoncement du haut de cuve 2, une portion saillante de la pompe 4 vient percer le film 55 et le pot distributeur est prêt à être utilisé. Lorsque le sac 3 est vide, il suffit de séparer le haut de cuve 2 du fond 1, d'extraire le boîtier 53 et de mettre en place une recharge pleine. Les éléments coûteux, tels que la pompe 4, le fond de cuve 1, le haut de cuve 2, le système d'actionnement de la pompe 4 et éventuellement un couvercle 28 peuvent ainsi être réutilisés.In the embodiment of FIG. 2, which is substantially identical to that of FIG. 1, the bag 3 is fixed by a seal 50 between the bottom 51 and the snap-on cover 52 of an intermediate housing 53. The cover 52 has a central opening 54 closed by a sealing film 55. The assembly constitutes a refill enclosed in the tank bottom 1 closed by the tank top 2 snapped on. During the sinking of the top of the tank 2, a projecting portion of the pump 4 pierces the film 55 and the distributor pot is ready to be used. When the bag 3 is empty, it suffices to separate the top of the tank 2 from the bottom 1, extract the housing 53 and install a full refill. Expensive elements, such as the pump 4, the tank bottom 1, the tank top 2, the actuation system of the pump 4 and possibly a cover 28 can thus be reused.
