Abstract
A head (10) of a trigger dispenser device includes a bulb (70) having an elastically deformable casing (72) that includes a vent lip (90), molded in one piece. With the casing (72), the vent lip (90) forms a venting valve.
Claims13
A trigger dispensing head for a liquid, mounted on a bottle, comprising:
- a frame comprising an annular spacer wall defining a main axis and internally delimits a compartment;
- a separation wall which cooperates with the annular spacer wall to close at least partially the compartment, wherein the separation wall is crossed by a vent passage, the compartment being in communication with the external environment through the vent passage;
- a trigger, rotatably or translatably engaged with the frame;
- a bulb coupled to the separation wall, comprising an elastically deformable casing which, together with the separation wall, delimits a pressure chamber;
- a dispensing duct in communication with the pressure chamber to dispense the liquid outwards;
- a coupler for the stable coupling of the bulb to the separation wall, the coupler comprising an attachment rim arranged at one axial end edge of an auxiliary wall;
- wherein the bulb comprises a vent lip, molded in one piece with the casing, the vent lip sealingly closing the vent passage to form a venting valve;
- and
- wherein said coupler for the stable coupling of the bulb further comprises a plurality of attachment fins angularly spaced and disposed circumferentially along said axial end edge of the auxiliary wall;
- wherein each attachment fin has a foot, coupled to the auxiliary wall, and an enlarged portion that forms a bulge with respect to the foot, projecting radially internally;
- and
- wherein the attachment fins interfere with the bulb by the enlarged portion and form a stable coupling to the separation wall on an imaginary plane perpendicular to the main axis.
