- FIG. 1 a perspective view of a pocket reservoir provided with a combined lid / valve device of the invention
- FIG. 1 A a perspective view of a detail in FIG. 2: an exploded perspective view of a combined device of the invention
- FIG. 3 a perspective view from below of the device of FIG. 2; in FIGS. 4 and 5: cross-sectional views of the device of FIG. 2 in respectively closing and valve opening positions;
- FIG. 6 a perspective view of an example of use of a housing of the invention with a gun
- FIGS. 7A, 7B are views respectively in perspective and in section of a detail of a plunger rod according to one aspect of the invention.
- FIG. 1 shows a pressure product dispensing box comprising a receptacle 30 provided with an inflation valve 100 and receiving a bag 20 filled with a liquid or pasty product to be dispensed.
- the housing is closed by a lid 1 fixed to the container according to the example by means of a screwed ring 70 which keeps a lid 1 tightly against the housing.
- the lid is a combined lid / valve device and the outlet of the product dispensing valve is through a tube 2a passing through the lid.
- the lid has an upper face 1a and a lower face 1b and the lower face of the lid has a base 10 provided with a skirt for receiving the neck of a pocket 20 containing the product to be distributed.
- the base forms a housing for the valve mechanism consisting of a distributor tube 2 and a seal 3.
- the seal 3 is mounted on the distributor tube between a base 2b and a shoulder 21 of the distributor tube and at rest the seal 3 closes the slots 22 in the lower part of the tube which blocks the product outlet.
- the shutter seal mounted on the tube snaps into a hole 1 1 passage between the upper face and the lower face of the lid.
- the seal comprises for this purpose two annular shoulders 31, 32 between which is housed the wall surrounding the hole January 1. Once snapped into the hole 1 1, the seal shutter leaves an outlet end 2a of the distributor tube 2 protrude from the upper face of the lid.
- the housing comprises a first section 10a for receiving the valve mechanism as seen below and a second section 10b for receiving an anti-sag plunger 50 as shown in particular in FIGS. 3 to 5.
- a centralizing device 60 for holding the plunger rod 50 in the second section of the housing as shown in FIG. 32 in particular.
- the centering device 60 is perforated to produce passageways 61 of the product to be dispensed. According to Figures 4 and 5 the product can pass through the channels to go back in the receiving section 10a of the valve mechanism and out of the housing by the valve when in the open position.
- the plunger has days of passage of the product to the valve 2.
- the plunger is used to prevent the bag from crushing under pressure which could cause a waste of product if the crush is performed at the top of the valve side pocket and serves to ensure that the bag is empty to the maximum.
- the plunger rod as shown in FIGS. 7A in perspective and 7B in section comprises two uprights 50a, 50b connected by bars 51 for holding the tubes. amounts spaced apart from each other which provides a passage for the product along the rod to the valve 2.
