Abstract

The invention proposes a pushbutton for a system for dispensing several pressurized products, the pushbutton including: a body; a spraying nozzle secured to the body, the body and the nozzle forming a subassembly, the nozzle being provided with several outlet orifices, each outlet orifice being linked to a product. The pushbutton includes a first channel passing through the body and the nozzle and forming a passage for a first product arriving in a first well of the body and emerging through a first outlet orifice of the nozzle. It also includes a second channel passing through the nozzle only and forming a passage for a second product arriving in a well of the nozzle and emerging through a second outlet orifice of the nozzle overhanging the first outlet orifice.

Claims (24)

1 . A pushbutton for a system for dispensing several pressurized products, said pushbutton comprising:

a body;

a spraying nozzle secured to the body, the body and the nozzle forming a subassembly, the nozzle being provided with several outlet orifices, each outlet orifice being linked to a product;

said pushbutton comprising a first channel passing through the body and the nozzle and forming a passage for a first product arriving in a first well of the body and emerging through a first outlet orifice of the nozzle, and

a second channel passing through the nozzle only and forming a passage for a second product arriving in a well of the nozzle and emerging through a second outlet orifice of the nozzle overhanging said first outlet orifice.

2 . The pushbutton according to claim 1 , wherein each channel comprises an axial section and a transversal section of appearance perpendicular to the axial section.

3 . The pushbutton according to claim 1 , wherein the nozzle and the body consist of two separate parts assembled to form said subassembly.

4 . The pushbutton according to claim 3 , wherein the nozzle and the body are assembled by the interlocking of corresponding hollow shapes.

5 . The pushbutton according to claim 1 , wherein the nozzle and the body consist of one single part forming said subassembly, the nozzle being secured to the body by over-molding.

6 . A system for dispensing several pressurized products comprising:

a pushbutton comprising a body;

a spraying nozzle secured to the body, the body and the nozzle forming a subassembly, the nozzle being provided with several outlet orifices, each outlet orifice being linked to a product;

said pushbutton comprising a first channel passing through the body and the nozzle and forming a passage for a first product arriving in a first well of the body and emerging through a first outlet orifice of the nozzle, and

a second channel passing through the nozzle only and forming a passage for a second product arriving in a well of the nozzle and emerging through a second outlet orifice of the nozzle overhanging said first outlet orifice.

7 . A pushbutton subassembly, comprising:

a body, comprising:

a first well;

a first channel connected to the first well and passing through the body;

a nozzle secured to the body, the nozzle comprising:

a first outlet orifice in communication with the first channel;

a second well;

a second channel connected to the second well and passing through the nozzle; and

a second outlet orifice in communication with the second channel.

8 . The pushbutton subassembly of claim 7 , wherein the first outlet orifice, the second outlet orifice are arranged in a vertical arrangement, the second outlet orifice above the first outlet orifice.
