Description
L'invention concerne un embout de distribution de fluide qui comporte un couvercle lui conférant des propriétés bactéricides et/ou bactériostatiques.The invention relates to a fluid dispensing tip which has a cover which gives it bactericidal and / or bacteriostatic properties.
Un tel embout de distribution est particulièrement avantageux pour une application à la distribution de produits cosmétiques, pharmaceutiques ou alimentaires par exemple, qui sont destinés à venir en contact avec la peau. En effet, l'embout permet de distribuer un produit sans risques de contaminer le produit.Such a dispensing tip is particularly advantageous for an application to the dispensing of cosmetic, pharmaceutical or food products for example, which are intended to come into contact with the skin. Indeed, the tip makes it possible to dispense a product without risk of contaminating the product.
De nombreux produits fluides, c'est-à-dire qui se présentent sous forme pâteuse ou liquide sont contenus dans un récipient qui permet à la fois la conservation du produit et la distribution de celui-ci.Many fluid products, that is to say products which are in pasty or liquid form, are contained in a container which allows both the preservation of the product and the distribution thereof.
La conservation du produit est généralement assurée grâce à un récipient hermétique à l'air et aussi en introduisant dans le produit des éléments conservateurs, antioxydants, bactéricides etc.The preservation of the product is generally ensured by means of an airtight container and also by introducing into the product preservatives, antioxidants, bactericides, etc.
Une source de pollution du produit est aussi située au niveau du dispositif de distribution. En effet, le dispositif de distribution comporte une ouverture de sortie du produit au niveau de laquelle de l'air peut pénétrer à l'intérieur du contenant et polluer le produit.A source of product pollution is also located at the level of the distribution device. Indeed, the dispensing device comprises an outlet opening for the product at which air can penetrate inside the container and pollute the product.
Aussi, le prélèvement du produit s'effectue en balayant la surface externe du dispositif, par exemple avec le doigt, la langue ou toute autre partie du corps humain. Cette action de balayage apporte des bactéries ou autres éléments polluants sur la surface externe, mais aussi dissémine ceux-ci.Also, the product is taken by scanning the external surface of the device, for example with the finger, the tongue or any other part of the human body. This sweeping action brings bacteria or other polluting elements to the external surface, but also disseminates them.
Un embout de distribution est l'interface entre le réservoir contenant le produit à distribuer et l'utilisateur qui prélève ce produit.A dispensing tip is the interface between the reservoir containing the product to be dispensed and the user who takes this product.
L'embout comporte à cet effet un orifice de distribution qui débouche à la fois dans le réservoir et sur une face de prélèvement de l'embout, et c'est au travers de cet orifice que le produit à prélever sort du réservoir.For this purpose, the nozzle comprises a dispensing orifice which opens both into the reservoir and onto a withdrawal face of the nozzle, and it is through this orifice that the product to be withdrawn leaves the reservoir.
La face de prélèvement constitue l'interface au niveau laquelle l'utilisateur a accès au produit.The withdrawal face constitutes the interface at which the user has access to the product.
Cette face de prélèvement est exposée à l'air libre ainsi qu'au contact avec de nombreux éléments tels qu'un doigt de l'utilisateur.This sampling face is exposed to the open air as well as to contact with numerous elements such as a user's finger.
Chacune de ces expositions de la face de prélèvement implique un risque de contamination de celle-ci, et un risque que le contaminant soit transféré au produit prélevé.Each of these exposures of the sampling face involves a risk of contamination thereof, and a risk that the contaminant is transferred to the sampled product.
Le document
Selon ce document, l'élément d'obturation comporte une substance bactéricide/bactériostatique qui permet de traiter le produit restant au niveau de l'orifice.According to this document, the closure element comprises a bactericidal / bacteriostatic substance which makes it possible to treat the product remaining at the level of the orifice.
Cependant, un tel élément d'obturation est particulièrement difficile à réaliser et à mettre en œuvre, ce qui augmente par conséquent les coûts de fabrication de l'embout de distribution. De plus, ce document n'enseigne ni la nature, ni la concentration de l'élément bactéricide, ni son homogénéité.However, such a closure element is particularly difficult to produce and implement, which consequently increases the manufacturing costs of the dispensing nozzle. In addition, this document does not teach either the nature or the concentration of the bactericidal element, or its homogeneity.
De plus, l'élément d'obturation peut être soumis à des risques d'usure, de telle manière que son contact avec la face de prélèvement n'est plus optimal, ou bien la quantité de substance bactéricide/bactériostatique qu'il contient peut diminuer au fur et à mesure de ses utilisations.In addition, the closure element may be subjected to risks of wear, such that its contact with the sampling face is no longer optimal, or else the quantity of bactericidal / bacteriostatic substance that it contains may decrease as it is used.
