Definitions
- the present invention relates to a fluid dispenser comprising a reservoir for containing the fluid and a dispensing member such as a pump or a valve mounted on the reservoir.
- a dispensing member such as a pump or a valve mounted on the reservoir.
- the reservoir which can be made of glass, plastic or even metal, comprises a defining neck defining an opening in which the pump or the valve is mounted.
- the neck of the tank defines the upper part of the tank so that the pump or the valve mounted on the neck projects beyond the tank.
- a cover is provided which is mounted on the pump or the valve to protect it against dust but also against impact since the pump or the valve is directly exposed due to its position at the upper end. of the tank.
- the latter may fall on the pump or the valve, which may damage it and thus render the distributor unusable.
- the present invention provides a fluid dispenser comprising: a reservoir containing fluid, said reservoir comprising an opening and defining a maximum size, and
- the reservoir forms a housing in which the opening is located, said dispensing member being entirely housed in this housing, so that the dispenser can be arranged in any position on a substantially flat surface without the member of distribution does not come into contact with this surface.
- the reservoir forms a notch at the bottom of which the opening is formed. In this case, the width of the notch is greater than or equal to the width of the dispensing member. On the other hand, the height of the notch is greater than or equal to the height of the part of the dispensing member which projects from the opening.
- the reservoir forms a prominence on each side of the notch.
- the pump or the valve Since the pump or the valve is entirely housed inside the housing where the notch formed by the tank, it is perfectly protected in the event of a fall since there is no risk of it striking the ground. It is thus possible to do without a protective cover to be mounted on the pump or the valve.
- FIG. 1 is a view in vertical cross section through a fluid dispenser produced according to the invention
- FIG 2 is a top view of the dispenser of Figure 1.
- the fluid dispenser is shown in Figures 1 and 2, which shows an embodiment of the invention, comprises two component parts, namely a tank 1 and a dispensing member 2, which can be a valve or a pump.
- a tank 1 comprises a bottom 10 by which the dispenser normally rests on a surface so as to keep the dispenser upright. From this bottom 10, the tank extends upward to define a tank barrel which can be of very varied shape in cross section.
- the barrel of the reservoir is of rectangular section and therefore defines four side walls 11 and 12.
- the barrel is therefore substantially cylindrical but of rectangular section.
- the tank 1 is formed at its upper end with a notch 15 which forms a housing in the side walls 11.
- the notch 15 is formed in the upper wall 13 and in the side walls 11 of the tank. Consequently, the housing 15 forms a depression in the upper wall 13.
- the notch 15 comprises a bottom 17 as well as two side panels 16 which form the junction between the upper wall 13 and the bottom 17 as well as the junction between the two walls Lateral 11.
- the bottom 17 makes the junction between the two lateral panels 16 and the two lateral walls 11.
- the bottom 17 and the lateral panels 16 are here produced in the form of flat rectilinear surfaces, but one can also imagine a notch in the shape of a half cylinder.
- the opening 18 of the reservoir 1 on which the pump 2 is mounted is defined at the bottom 17 of the notch 15.
- the maximum size of the tank 1 is defined by the bottom 10, the side walls 11 and 12 and the upper wall 13.
- the pump 2 comprises a pump body 20 with a dip tube 24 which extends inside the tank.
- the pump 2 comprises a pusher 21 which is pressed to actuate the pump 2 so as to dispense fluid.
- the pump 2 also comprises a covering 23 in which a nozzle 22 is formed by which the fluid product is distributed in sprayed form.
- the covering 23 makes it possible to hide the body 20 as well as the neck (not shown) of the reservoir.
- the part of the pump 2 located above the bottom 17 of the notch 15 is entirely housed inside the notch 15 so that the pump does not project either on the side walls 11 or on the upper wall 13. It can be said that the pump 2 is entirely inscribed within the maximum space requirement of the tank.
- the height of the pump 2 above the bottom 17 designated by the letter h is less than or equal to the height H of the notch 15.
- the width 1, that is to say the diameter of the covering 23, is less than the width L of the notch which is here the thickness of the tank.
