Spray device with combined drive and resilient pivoting head for a spray bottle
View Patent ↗The invention relates to a liquid spray bottle with combined drive, equipped with a liquid propulsion member ( 50 ) that has a main axis of translation (X′X) coupled, on the one hand, to a spray member ( 9 ) comprising a nozzle ( 11 ) having an axis of diffusion (Y′Y) and, on the other hand, to a container ( 3 ) containing the liquid. The spray bottle comprises a rigid casing ( 1 a , 1 b ; 20 a , 20 b ) which partially surrounds the container ( 3 ) and which extends roughly in a main plane (P) containing the axis of translation (X′X), a connecting member ( 13 ) connecting the spray head ( 9 ) and the casing, and a region ( 7, 10 d ) of sliding between the container and the casing, so that manual thrust ( ) exerted laterally on the container in the main plane (P) of the casing causes, through a combination of the action of the sliding ramp ( 10 d ) and of the connecting member ( 13 ), actuation of the propulsion member ( 50 ) to spray the liquid and a movement of the bottle, with respect to the casing, in a pendular movement about an axis of pivoting located near the propulsion member ( 50 ) and which, by converting the movement, generates translation along said axis of translation (X′X) to actuate the spraying of the liquid through the nozzle ( 11 ).
1. A spray device comprising: a drive, equipped with a propulsion member, the drive defining an axis of translation, a spray member comprising a nozzle, a container that includes a protruding portion, the container containing a liquid, wherein the propulsion member is coupled to the spray member;
the spray device further comprising:
a casing which at least partially surrounds the container and which extends approximately in a main plane that includes the axis of translation, the casing comprising two half-shells that form a shell about the container, the shell defining an opening for the diffusion of the liquid sprayed by the nozzle and an opening for access to the container;
a connecting member, connecting the spray member and the casing,
a region of sliding between the container and the casing, wherein force exerted on the container moves the container along the region of sliding; and
a stop formed by articulation or clipping onto the spray member.
2. The spray device as claimed in claim 1 , in which the plane where the half-shells meet is roughly perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the container.
3. The spray device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising an actuating member wherein the actuating member is a push-button and the connecting member is a resilient pivoting head coupled to the push-button.
4. The spray device as claimed in claim 3 , in which the pivoting head is made of polyoxymethylene or of polypropylene.
5. The spray device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a pivoting head in which the pivoting head acts as a pushbutton.
6. The spray device as claimed in claim 5 , in which the pivoting head bears around an articulation allowing the head to turn.
7. The spray device of claim 1 , wherein the container comprises glass.
