Dispenser for liquid or pasty materials

A device for packaging and dispensing a liquid or semi-liquid substance (P) in which a substance (P) in a receptacle (1), which is closed in a sealed manner firstly at a top by a cap (2) and secondly at a bottom by an internally movable punt (5), is compressed. The device includes an elastically deformable membrane (4) received in the top of the receptacle (1). The membrane (4) is formed by a substantially frustoconical axial valve (40) having a top portion provided with a central ejection orifice (41), a middle portion running into a channel section ring (42) and a bottom portion provided with a stretchable thin skirt (43) connected to a flange (44). The skirt (43) extends upwards along an internal wall of the receptacle (1). The flange (44) fixes the membrane (4) to the receptacle (1). A nozzle-forming tube (3) passes axially through the cap (2) of the receptacle (1). The tube (3) has a top end (31) projecting outside the receptacle (1) and an internal bottom end. The bottom end is provided with an element for bearing against the membrane (4) and a closure element (33) for closing the ejection orifice (41).

Device for packaging and dispensing a liquid or semi-liquid substance

This invention has as its subject a dispensing device for fluid-like products, composed of a container having a cylindrical drum, of which one end is provided with a movable base and the other end includes a neck which is capped by a distributor assembly including a pump with axial intake which is fitted onto a plunger sleeve. The lower face of the sleeve penetrates into the neck of the container during the fixing of the distributor assembly in the neck of the container, coming into position in sliding sealing engagement with a bearing surface of the neck.

Method for assembling dispenser with plunging sleeve

Dispenser with plunging sleeve

A pump comprises an open-ended hollow body defining a pump chamber and an inlet orifice which communicates with a reservoir. The pump body has four side walls. A piston is mounted for reciprocal movement through a portion of the body and it extends through the upper end of the body. A ferrule is disposed above the body and defines an aperture through which the piston extends. A seal is disposed is disposed between the ferrule and the body, and the seal surround a portion of the piston. A spring is mounted in the body, and the spring actively biases the piston toward the top of the body. The body has a deformable zone which has at least a portion of one side wall which is a noncircular cross-section and is radially elastically deformable. The piston has a portion which blocks the inlet orifice when the piston is depressed a first predetermined distance. The piston has an evacuation duct having a lower duct portion extending through the periphery of the piston which puts the pump chamber in communication with ambient air when the piston is depressed a second predetermined distance sufficient for the lower duct portion to be lower than the seal, the second predetermined distance being greater then the first predetermined distance. The lower duct portion is located sufficiently high on the piston so as to delay the placing of the pump chamber into communication with ambient air by the evacuation duct until after the piston is depressed into the body the second predetermined distance which is sufficiently in excess of the first predetermined distance so as to pressurize the pump chamber and radially elastically deform the deform the deformable zone.
