  • Patent number: 9192948
    Abstract: A diffuser for a multiway valve, in particular for a two-way valve, includes a tip (2) to be secured to the portion of the valve stem that projects above the cup. To withdraw a single product, the tip includes a cylindrical portion having a circular cross-section with as many transfer channels (22a, 22b) are there are pathways in the multiway valve, for sealingly connecting each transfer channel to the outlet of the corresponding pathway of the valve, each transfer channel opening outside the cylindrical portion of the tip in a different radial plane and in a different angular sector of the cylindrical portion. The diffuser is also provided with a pivotable cap (3) with a blind hole (31) having a shape complementary to the cylindrical portion of the tip, the pivotable cap having as many outlet channels (32a, 32b) as there are pathways in the multiway valve.

  • Publication number: 20150122836
    Abstract: The invention relates to a dispensing module for two liquid products, comprising: a first chamber (20) having a first wall, said first chamber having a first opening; a first piston (61) which can be displaced whilst resting on the wall of the first chamber; a second piston (64) which can be displaced whilst resting on a wall of the second chamber, and coupling means (62) for coupling both pistons whilst the product is being dispensed are provided. According to the invention, in order to prevent functional dysfunctions in the event of a distortion of the shape of container and to freely select the shape of the container, said dispensing module comprises a second chamber, the wall of which can be displaced whilst resting on the second piston, said second chamber comprising a second opening. This is achieved by virtue of the fact that the distortion of the container no longer leads to functional dysfunctions of the dispensing module. Also, the outer shape of the container can be freely selected.

  • Publication number: 20130334733
    Abstract: A press for manufacturing a one-piece object includes two rotary plates (110, 210) which are parallel but offset, each carrying a mold (120, 220) having two portions. Each mold portion can be placed above or below, so that the mold portion (121) of the first mold situated above faces the mold portion (222) of the second mold situated below. First parts of the object, for example skirts, are inserted in the press in an insertion zone (Z1). In parallel, second parts, for example caps, are introduced an introduction zone (Z2). In a common zone (Z3), third parts, for example dispensing heads, are overmolded on the first and second parts brought close in the common zone in the same position as in the finished object. After opening the press, the plates are turned so that the finished objects are in the portion of the second mold which is above.
