The dispensing device includes a sealing capsule fitted with a dispensing opening (3), the capsule including a clamp (6) having two arms (7) linked by a crosspiece (9), one zone of which serves to close the opening (3), the ends of the arms furthest away from the crosspiece being fitted with articulation parts (A) on a fixed part of the receptacle (1); these articulation parts (A) are designed to allow displacement of the clamp (6) in an axial direction (X--X) in order to distance the crosspiece (9) of the opening (3). The device includes a cam system (c), set in between the arms (7) of the clamp (6) and a fixed part of the receptacle, intended to cause the displacement of the clamp (6) in an axial direction (X--X); the articulation parts (A) of the clamp (6) include a non-circular transversal sectioned axis (16) on each arm, which works together with a window (17) in such a way that, whatever the angle of the axis, the axis (16) and the internal face of the window (17) are sufficiently close to prevent any movement of the clamp in relation to the receptacle, whilst causing the aforementioned displacement in an axial direction.
Dispensing device, for a receptacle containing a product of liquid to pasty consistency, including a sealing capsule fitted with a dispensing opening, the said capsule including a means of closing which is in the form of a clamp with two arms linked by a crosspiece, said crosspiece having one area which serves to close the said opening, the ends of the said arms away from the crosspiece having means of articulation on a section fixed to the receptacle, said means of articulation allowing displacement of the clamp along the axial direction of the receptacle in order to distance the crosspiece from the said opening, wherein rotation of the clamp will cause displacement of the crosspiece at a tangent to the said opening, said dispensing device including a cam system, located between the arms of the clamp and a fixed part of the receptacle causing, from commencement of rotation of the cam from the closed position, the aforementioned displacement of the clamp along said axial direction, wherein the means of articulation (A) of the clamp include, for each arm, a non-circular axis (16, 116) cooperating with a window (17, 117) having an internal surface engaged by said axis in such a way that, whatever the angle of the axis, the contact between the axis (16, 116) and the internal surface of the window (17, 117) will be sufficiently close to avoid any unexpected movement of the clamp in relation to the receptacle, whilst initiating the aforementioned displacement along the axial direction.
A dispensing device for a receptacle containing a product of liquid to pasty consistency, including a sealing capsule fitted with a dispensing opening, said capsule including a means of closing which is in the form of a clamp having two arms linked by a crosspiece, said crosspiece having one area which serves to close the said opening, the ends of said arms farthest away from the crosspiece having means of articulation on a section fixed to said receptacle, said means of articulation allowing displacement of said clamp along the axial direction of said receptacle in order to distance the crosspiece from said opening, wherein rotation of the clamp will cause displacement of the crosspiece at a tangent to the said opening, said device including a cam system, located between the arms of the clamp and a part of the receptacle causing, from commencement of rotation of the cam from the closed position, said displacement of the clamp along said axial direction, wherein the means of articulation of the clamp include, for each arm, a non-circular axis cooperating with a window having an internal surface engaged by said axis in such a way that, whatever the angle of the axis, the contact between the axis and said internal surface of the window will be sufficiently close to avoid any sudden movement of the clamp in relation to said receptacle, while initiating the aforementioned displacement along said axial direction,
A dispensing device for a receptacle containing a product of liquid to pasty consistency, including a sealing capsule fitted with a dispensing opening, said capsule including a means of closing which is in the form of a clamp having two arms linked by a crosspiece, said crosspiece having one area which serves to close the said opening, the ends of said arms farthest away from the crosspiece having means of articulation on a section fixed to said receptacle, said means of articulation allowing displacement of said clamp along the axial direction of said receptacle in order to distance the crosspiece from said opening, wherein rotation of the clamp will cause displacement of the crosspiece at a tangent to the said opening, said device including a cam system, located between the arms of the clamp and a part of the receptacle causing, from commencement of rotation of the cam from the closed position, said displacement of the clamp along said axial direction, wherein the means of articulation of the clamp include, for each arm, a non-circular axis cooperating with a window having an internal surface engaged by said axis in such a way that, whatever the angle of the axis, the contact between the axis and said internal surface of the window will be sufficiently close to avoid any sudden movement of the clamp in relation to said receptacle, while initiating the aforementioned displacement along said axial direction,
A dispensing device for a receptacle containing a product of liquid to pasty consistency, including a sealing capsule fitted with a dispensing opening, said capsule including a means of closing which is in the form of a clamp having two arms linked by a crosspiece, said crosspiece having one area which serves to close the said opening, the ends of said arms farthest away from the crosspiece having means of articulation on a portion of said receptacle, said means of articulation allowing displacement of said clamp along the axial direction of said receptacle in order to distance the crosspiece from said opening, wherein rotation of the clamp will cause displacement of the crosspiece-at a tangent to the said opening, said device including a cam system, located between the arms of the clamp and a part of the receptacle causing, from commencement of rotation of the cam from the closed position, the aforementioned displacement of the clamp along said axial direction, wherein the means of articulation of the clamp include, for each arm, a non-circular axis cooperating with a window having an internal surface engaged by said axis in such a way that, whatever the angle of the non-circular axis , the contact between the non-circular axis and the internal surface of the window will be sufficiently close to avoid any sudden movement of the clamp in relation to said receptacle, while initiating the aforementioned displacement along the axial direction, said dispensing opening comprising a slit formed in a dome shaped membrane located at one end of said receptacle, said crosspiece being dimensioned to come into contact with said membrane when in a closed position, said cam system including at least one ramp fixed to a part of one of said clamp and said receptacle and a ramp follower being associated with the other of said clamp and said receptacle to cause axial displacement upon commencement of rotational movement of said clamp, said ramp including a groove set into said receptacle, said groove being arc shaped and convexly curved relative to said opening of said receptacle, said receptacle having a middle plane with said groove being located in said middle plane, at least one of said arms of said clamp including an internal face confronting said receptacle and a cam follower comprising a tappet disposed on said internal face and engaged in said groove.
