  • Patent number: 11273972
    Abstract: A valve body intended to be fastened to a cup provided with an opening to form an aerosol generator valve, which includes a tubular body closed at one of its ends by a closure wall provided with an orifice and extending along a main axis (a), has two parts which are separate before assembly of the valve, one being provided with the closure wall (32) and with a portion or all of the tubular body (31), and the other being provided with another closure wall (22) provided with another orifice (23) and, where appropriate, with the rest of the tubular body. Each part is provided with a bearing surface (241) and with fastening means (25, 35). The two parts are fastened to each other by their fastening means (25, 35) while clamping, between their respective bearing surfaces (241, 341), the cup at an annular portion (121) located around the opening.

  • Publication number: 20210292080
    Abstract: A housing (1, 1?) for a pressurized container, has a bottom (12, 12?) a stopper, sealing means (124, 124?) to ensure sealing between the stopper (2, 2?) and the housing (1, 1?) when the housing is provided with a stopper; and retaining means (126, 126?) to retain, when the container is pressurized, a stopper (2, 2?) closing the opening. The retaining means (126, 126?) are distinct from the stopper (2) and are in an inactive initial form (125, 126) and must, in order to fulfill their function, be activated (126, 126?) after the opening has been closed by a stopper.

  • Patent number: 10364091
    Abstract: The invention relates to a dispensing head for an aerosol container provided with a valve. The dispensing head is made up of a cover (2) to which an actuating member (1) is secured, provided with a push button (11) which can be moved between a non-depressed rest position and a depressed actuating position. According to the invention, the actuating member (1) is provided with a blocking element (12) which can pivot between an unlocked position in which said element does not block the movement of the push button (11) relative to the cover (2) and a locked position in which said element blocks the push button in the rest position by preventing said push button from entering the actuating position.

  • Patent number: 9624021
    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 while resting on the wall of the first chamber; a second piston (64) which can be displaced while resting on a wall of the second chamber, and coupling means (62) for coupling both pistons while 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 while 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.

  • Patent number: 9539748
    Abstract: An injection-molding press for overmolding a second part onto a first part (8) includes a movable portion and a fixed portion, with a first mold element (11, 12) on one of the press portions and a second mold element (20) on the other press portion so as to form a cavity (C) between the mold portions when the press is closed. The first mold portion (11, 12) has a first support surface (125a) movable in the first mold portion and the second mold portion (20) has a second support surface (22a). In the closed position of the press with a first part (8) in the first mold portion and the first support surface (125a) advanced in the working position, at least a portion (8b) of the front end of the first part (8) is clamped between the two support surfaces (125a, 22a), forming a tight seal for the cavity (C).

  • Patent number: 9498902
    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 into 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.
