Abstract

A head ( 4 ) of a trigger dispensing device for liquids includes an auxiliary body ( 30 ) for the connection with a neck ( 10 ) of a bottle ( 2 ). The auxiliary body ( 30 ) includes a closure base ( 32 ) suitable to close a mouth ( 13 ′) of the bottle ( 2 ) and dual constraints suitable to snap-engage with the neck ( 10 ) forming between the auxiliary body ( 30 ) and the neck ( 10 ) a constraint both to the relative rotation and to the separation thereof.

Claims (20)

1. Trigger dispensing head for liquids, comprising:

an auxiliary body for connection to a neck of a bottle, suitable to support further functional components of the dispensing head; and

a threaded ring-nut suitable to be screwed to the neck of the bottle and to operate on the auxiliary body to connect the auxiliary body to the neck;

wherein the auxiliary body comprises a closure base suitable to close a mouth of the bottle and a dual constraint suitable to snap-engage with the neck forming between the auxiliary body and the neck a constraint both to relative rotation and to axial separation between the auxiliary body and the neck;

wherein said dual constraint comprises a coupling skirt to the auxiliary body, said skirt protruding from the closure base and comprising at least one skirt portion provided with at least one window suitable to snap-house a respective tooth of the neck.

2. Dispensing head according to claim 1 , wherein said skirt portion axially ends with a free edge which has a guide surface chamfered to facilitate the snap engagement with the teeth of the neck.

3. Dispensing head according to claim 1 , wherein several portions of skirt are provided for, each having a partial circumferential extension and comprising an upper region next to the closure base, and a lower region axially adjacent to the upper region and distal from the closure base, wherein the upper region has a greater circumferential extension than the lower region.

4. Dispensing head according to claim 3 , wherein the window extends between the upper region and the lower region.

5. Dispensing head according to claim 1 , comprising a frame for supporting auxiliary components, and wherein the auxiliary body comprises at least one engagement collar projecting from the closure base, suitable to engage with said frame.

6. Dispensing head according to claim 5 , wherein the auxiliary body comprises an outer collar positioned radially inside the peripheral edge of the closure base and an inner collar positioned radially internally to the outer collar.

7. Dispensing head according to claim 6 , wherein between the outer collar and the peripheral edge, the closure base has a crown-shaped support surface for the engagement with the ring-nut.

8. Dispensing head according to claim 1 , wherein the auxiliary body comprises a coupling ring projecting from the closure base positioned radially internally with respect to the peripheral edge of the closure base suitable to rest on the teeth of the neck, forming the support for the auxiliary body.

9. Dispensing head according to claim 1 , wherein the ring-nut, which extends axially from a free annular edge to an annular edge of engagement, has an annular engagement lip of a truncated-conical shape, projecting radially internally from the engagement edge of the ring-nut and suitable to operate on the auxiliary body to connect the auxiliary body to the neck.

10. Trigger dispensing device comprising a bottle and a dispensing head, the dispensing head comprising:

an auxiliary body for connection to a neck of a bottle, suitable to support further functional components of the dispensing head; and

a threaded ring-nut suitable to be screwed to the neck of the bottle and to operate on the auxiliary body to connect the auxiliary body to the neck;

wherein the auxiliary body comprises a closure base suitable to close a mouth of the bottle and a dual constraint suitable to snap-engage with the neck forming between the auxiliary body and the neck a constraint both to the relative rotation and to the axial separation thereof; and

wherein the dispensing head is applied to the bottle by the threaded ring-nut;

wherein said dual constraint comprises a coupling skirt to the auxiliary body, said skirt protruding from the closure base and comprising at least one skirt portion provided with at least one window suitable to snap-house a respective tooth of the neck.

11. Device according to claim 10 , wherein between the auxiliary body and a crown surface of the neck of the bottle a sealing ring in compression is placed.
