Description

L'invention est relative à un dispositif pour conserver séparés l'un de l'autre au moins deux produits, et pour effectuer le mélange de ces produits au moment de l'utilisation, dispositif du genre de ceux qui comportent : un récipient délimitant un premier compartiment pour l'un des produits , et muni d'un goulot ; un flacon monté sur le goulot et définissant un autre compartiment destiné à recevoir un autre produit ; des moyens de séparation entre les deux compartiments comprenant au moins une pellicule ; un ensemble de perforation propre à être déplacé au moins suivant la direction axiale du récipient de manière à déchirer la pellicule au moment où l'on souhaite réaliser le mélange des produits ; et des moyens de déplacement de l'ensemble de perforation.The invention relates to a device for keeping at least two products separated from one another, and for effecting the mixing of these products at the time of use, a device of the kind of those which comprise: a container delimiting a first compartment for one of the products, and provided with a neck; a bottle mounted on the neck and defining another compartment intended to receive another product; separation means between the two compartments comprising at least one film; a perforation assembly adapted to be moved at least in the axial direction of the container so as to tear the film when it is desired to mix the products; and means for moving the perforation assembly.

L'invention concerne plus particulièrement, parce que c'est dans ce cas que son application semble devoir présenter le plus d'intérêt, mais non exclusivement, un tel dispositif pour la conservation du colorant et de l'oxydant d'un shampooing colorant.The invention relates more particularly, because it is in this case that its application seems to be of most interest, but not exclusively, such a device for the conservation of the dye and the oxidant of a dye shampoo.

Un dispositif de ce type est montré par FR-A-2 569 666, au nom du même déposant. Un tel dispositif a été expérimenté avec succès mais le compartiment contenant le colorant est prévu dans un élément en matière plastique du type PVC dont l'élimination après usage pose des problèmes au niveau de la pollution.A device of this type is shown by FR-A-2,569,666, in the name of the same applicant. Such a device has been successfully tested, but the compartment containing the dye is provided in a plastic element of the PVC type, the disposal of which after use poses problems in terms of pollution.

L'invention a pour but, surtout, de fournir un dispositif du genre défini précédemment qui, tout en présentant les avantages de fonctionnement et d'utilisation des dispositifs antérieurs, en particulier maintien d'une étanchéité complète entre le récipient et le flacon lorsque le mélange a été effectué, ne présente plus l'inconvénient de comporter des éléments susceptibles de créer une pollution gênante lors de leur élimination.The object of the invention is, above all, to provide a device of the kind defined above which, while having the advantages of operation and use of the prior devices, in particular maintaining a complete seal between the container and the bottle when the mixing has been carried out, no longer has the disadvantage of comprising elements likely to create annoying pollution during their elimination.

Selon l'invention, un dispositif pour conserver séparés l'un de l'autre au moins deux produits, du genre défini précédemment, est caractérisé par le fait que le récipient est en verre et, dans le cas d'un shampooing colorant, est destiné à recevoir le colorant ; qu'une bague intermédiaire en matière plastique non polluante est fixée sur le goulot du récipient et présente un logement annulaire à section transversale en U s'ouvrant du côté opposé au fond du récipient ; que l'ensemble de perforation est solidaire du flacon ; et qu'une jupe en saillie, solidaire de la partie du flacon tournée vers le récipient, est prévue pour rester engagée, de manière étanche, dans le susdit logement annulaire de la bague tout en pouvant y coulisser, lors du déplacement relatif du flacon et du récipient nécessité pour la perforation.According to the invention, a device for keeping separate at least two products, of the kind defined above, is characterized in that the container is made of glass and, in the case of a coloring shampoo, is intended to receive the dye; that an intermediate ring of non-polluting plastic material is fixed to the neck of the container and has an annular housing with a U-shaped cross section opening on the side opposite the bottom of the container; that the perforation assembly is integral with the bottle; and that a protruding skirt, integral with the part of the bottle facing the container, is provided to remain engaged, in a sealed manner, in the aforesaid annular housing of the ring while being able to slide therein, during the relative movement of the bottle and container required for perforation.

Avantageusement, la paroi extérieure de la bague intermédiaire est munie de moyens de liaison, en particulier d'un filetage, tandis que des moyens de liaison conjugués, solidaires du flacon, sont prévus pour coopérer avec ceux de la bague et permettre un déplacement en translation du flacon et de l'organe de perforation, relativement au récipient, en réponse à un mouvement de rotation.Advantageously, the outer wall of the intermediate ring is provided with connection means, in particular with a thread, while conjugate connection means, integral with the bottle, are provided to cooperate with those of the ring and allow movement in translation of the bottle and the perforating member, relative to the container, in response to a rotational movement.

Le goulot du récipient est équipé d'un anneau à jupe d'étanchéité fixé, notamment par vissage, sur le goulot, anneau sur lequel est diposé un moyen de séparation, en particulier constitué par au moins une pellicule emprisonnée entre ledit anneau et un épaulement de la bague intermédiaire clipsée sur cet anneau.The neck of the container is equipped with a ring with a sealing skirt fixed, in particular by screwing, to the neck, ring on which is provided a separation means, in particular consisting of at least one film trapped between said ring and a shoulder. of the intermediate ring clipped onto this ring.

Une pellicule de séparation peut être scellée sur l'anneau et une autre pellicule scellée sur l'épaulement de la bague intermédiaire, les deux pellicules venant en appui l'une contre l'autre lors de l'assemblage du flacon et du récipient en vue du stockage.A separating film can be sealed on the ring and another sealed film on the shoulder of the intermediate ring, both films coming into abutment against each other during assembly of the bottle and the container for storage.

Lorsque les pellicules sont en aluminium avec une périphérie non vernie, la périphérie située du côté flacon (oxydant) est protégée pour éviter tout phénomène chimique.When the films are made of aluminum with an unvarnished periphery, the periphery located on the bottle side (oxidant) is protected to avoid any chemical phenomenon.

L'ensemble de perforation constitue, de préférence, une pièce séparée du flacon et propre à être fixée sur la partie inférieure du flacon, en particulier par clipsage.The perforation assembly preferably constitutes a part separate from the bottle and suitable for being fixed on the lower part of the bottle, in particular by clipping.

La susdite jupe périphérique est avantageusement prévue dans l'ensemble de perforation, autour du perforateur proprement dit, et présente une section transversale sensiblement en U tournant sa concavité du côté opposé à la bague intermédiaire, cette jupe assurant la liaison entre un manchon extérieur cylindrique et un manchon intérieur concentrique, à l'extrémité inférieure duquel est fixé le perforateur qui est excentré par rapport à l'ensemble.The said peripheral skirt is advantageously provided in the perforation assembly, around the perforator proper, and has a substantially U-shaped cross section turning its concavity on the side opposite to the intermediate ring, this skirt ensuring the connection between a cylindrical outer sleeve and a concentric inner sleeve, at the lower end of which is fixed the perforator which is eccentric relative to the assembly.

Le manchon intérieur comporte des ouvertures longitudinales et, à son extrémité inférieure, une saillie tournée radialement vers l'extérieur, constituant une sorte de harpon, tandis que la bague intermédiaire comporte, sur sa paroi intérieure et vers son extrémité supérieure, une saillie tournée radialement vers l'intérieur formant également une sorte de harpon propre à coopérer avec celui du manchon intérieur de l'ensemble de perforation pour s'opposer à une séparation axiale des deux éléments.The inner sleeve has longitudinal openings and, at its lower end, a projection turned radially outward, constituting a kind of harpoon, while the intermediate ring has, on its inner wall and towards its upper end, a projection turned radially inward also forming a kind of harpoon suitable for cooperating with that of the inner sleeve of the perforation assembly to oppose an axial separation of the two elements.

Le perforateur peut être constitué par un élément tubulaire à extrémité en biseau propre à ouvrir et à rabattre de façon progressive la pellicule sur le plus grand diamètre possible, lors d'une rotation.The perforator can be constituted by a tubular element with a beveled end capable of opening and gradually folding the film over the largest possible diameter, during a rotation.

Le flacon est muni, à son extrémité opposée au récipient, d'un embout applicateur, et un capot est prévu pour coiffer le flacon.The bottle has, at its opposite end to the container, an applicator tip, and a cover is provided to cap the bottle.

Le capot peut être de forme ovale et son auto-orientation sur le flacon peut être obtenue au montage grâce à des dents, en particulier très fines, prévues entre une partie du capot et l'embout applicateur.The cover can be oval in shape and its self-orientation on the bottle can be obtained during assembly by means of teeth, in particular very fine, provided between a part of the cover and the applicator tip.

L'invention consiste, mises à part les dispositions exposées ci-dessus, en un certain nombre d'autres dispositions dont il sera plus explicitement question ci-après avec référence aux dessins ci-annexés, mais qui n'est nullement limitatif.The invention consists, apart from the arrangements set out above, of a certain number of other arrangements which will be more explicitly discussed below with reference to the attached drawings, but which is in no way limiting.

La figure 1, de ces dessins, est une vue en élévation d'un dispositif conforme à l'invention, au moment où une bande de garantie est déchirée en vue de l'utilisation.Figure 1 of these drawings is an elevational view of a device according to the invention, when a guarantee strip is torn for use.

La figure 2 est une vue de dessus par rapport à la figure 1.Figure 2 is a top view with respect to Figure 1.

La figure 3 est une coupe verticale, suivant la ligne III-III, de la figure 2, à plus grande échelle, du dispositif alors que le récipient et le flacon occupent leurs positions relatives de stockage.Figure 3 is a vertical section along line III-III of Figure 2, on a larger scale, of the device while the container and the bottle occupy their relative storage positions.

La figure 4 représente, semblablement à la figure 3, le dispositif en position d'utilisation, le perforateur ayant déchiré les moyens de séparation entre le récipient et le flacon.Figure 4 shows, similarly to Figure 3, the device in the use position, the perforator having torn the separation means between the container and the bottle.

La figure 5, enfin, est une coupe verticale éclatée, avec parties en extérieur, à plus petite échelle, du dispositif selon l'invention.Figure 5, finally, is an exploded vertical section, with parts on the outside, on a smaller scale, of the device according to the invention.

En se reportant aux dessins, notamment aux figures 1 et 3, on peut voir un dispositif D pour conserver séparés l'un de l'autre deux produits A et B. En particulier, le dispositif D est destiné à contenir les composants d'un shampooing colorant, le produit A étant formé par le colorant tandis que le produit B est constitué par l'oxydant.Referring to the drawings, in particular to Figures 1 and 3, one can see a device D for keeping two products A and B separate from each other. In particular, the device D is intended to contain the components of a coloring shampoo, product A being formed by the dye while product B is constituted by the oxidant.

Le dispositif D comporte un récipient 1 situé à sa partie inférieure délimitant un premier compartiment pour le produit A, plus agressif d'un point de vue chimique que le produit B. Ce récipient 1 est en verre de manière à bien résister au produit A, sans créer de problèmes de pollution lorsqu'il s'agit d'éliminer le récipient 1 après utilisation. Ce récipient 1 forme une sorte de pot cylindrique muni, à sa partie supérieure, d'un goulot 2 de diamètre plus faible pourvu, sur sa surface extérieure, de moyens de liaison constitués par un filetage 3. Le goulot 2 est équipé, extérieurement, d'un anneau 4 en matière plastique, notamment en polyéthylène, fixé par vissage, ledit anneau comportant sur sa surface cylindrique intérieure un filetage conjugué du filetage 3 du goulot. Le bord supérieur 5 de l'anneau 4 est situé dans un plan orthogonal à l'axe de l'anneau et vient recouvrir le bord supérieur du goulot 2 ; le bord 5 est muni, sur son contour intérieur, d'une jupe d'étanchéité tronconique 6 qui vient s'appliquer contre un évasement conjugué du goulot 2.The device D comprises a container 1 situated at its lower part delimiting a first compartment for the product A, more aggressive from a chemical point of view than the product B. This container 1 is made of glass so as to resist the product A well, without creating pollution problems when it comes to disposing of container 1 after use. This container 1 forms a kind of cylindrical pot provided, at its upper part, with a neck 2 of smaller diameter provided, on its outer surface, with connecting means constituted by a thread 3. The neck 2 is equipped, externally, a ring 4 made of plastic, in particular polyethylene, fixed by screwing, said ring comprising on its inner cylindrical surface a thread conjugate with the thread 3 of the neck. The upper edge 5 of the ring 4 is located in a plane orthogonal to the axis of the ring and covers the upper edge of the neck 2; the edge 5 is provided, on its inner contour, with a frustoconical sealing skirt 6 which is applied against a conjugate flaring of the neck 2.

Un moyen de séparation ou de fermeture est fixé sur le bord supérieur 5 de l'anneau ; il s'agit généralement d'une pellicule 7, par exemple d'aluminium, thermoscellée sur ce bord 5 de sorte que le produit A soit enfermé de manière étanche dans le récipient 1.A separation or closing means is fixed on the upper edge 5 of the ring; it is generally a film 7, for example of aluminum, heat-sealed on this edge 5 so that the product A is sealed in the container 1.

La surface cylindrique extérieure de l'anneau 4 comporte un bourrelet d'encliquetage 8 formant un cordon circulaire en saillie vers l'extérieur, au-dessous duquel vient se clipser un bourrelet 9 en saillie vers l'intérieur prévu sur la surface interne de la paroi 10 d'une bague intermédiaire 11. Cette bague intermédiaire 11 est réalisée en une matière plastique non polluante, de même que l'anneau 4, en particulier en polyéthylène. La bague 11 présente un logement annulaire 12 à section transversale en U, s'ouvrant du côté opposé au fond du récipient 1.The outer cylindrical surface of the ring 4 comprises a latching bead 8 forming a circular bead projecting outwards, below which is clipped a bead 9 projecting inwardly provided on the internal surface of the wall 10 of an intermediate ring 11. This intermediate ring 11 is made of a non-polluting plastic material, as is the ring 4, in particular made of polyethylene. The ring 11 has a annular housing 12 with U-shaped cross section, opening on the side opposite the bottom of the container 1.

Le logement 12 est délimité par deux parois cylindriques 13, 14, respectivement extérieure et intérieure, coaxiales. La paroi 14 est située radialement en retrait par rapport à la susdite paroi 10 de sorte qu'un épaulement radial 15 est formé à la jonction de l'extrémité supérieure de la paroi 10 et du fond du logement 12. Un autre moyen de séparation est fixé contre cet épaulement radial 15, suivant un plan orthogonal à l'axe de la bague 11 ; ce moyen de séparation est également constitué par une pellicule 7a, par exemple en aluminium, thermoscellée sur l'épaulement 15. La bague 11 est fixée sur le goulot 2 du récipient 1 par l'encliquetage du bourrelet 9 derrière le bourrelet 8, l'épaulement 15 venant alors en appui contre le bord supérieur 5 en emprisonnant les bords périphériques des pellicules 7, 7a superposées.The housing 12 is delimited by two cylindrical walls 13, 14, respectively external and internal, coaxial. The wall 14 is located radially set back from the above wall 10 so that a radial shoulder 15 is formed at the junction of the upper end of the wall 10 and the bottom of the housing 12. Another means of separation is fixed against this radial shoulder 15, along a plane orthogonal to the axis of the ring 11; this separating means is also formed by a film 7, for example made of aluminum, heat sealed to the shoulder 15. The ring 11 is fixed on the neck 2 of the container 1 by latching the bead 9 behind the bead 8, the shoulder 15 then coming to bear against the upper edge 5 by trapping the peripheral edges of the films 7, 7a superimposed.

Le produit B, l'oxydant dans l'exemple du shampooing colorant considéré, est contenu dans un flacon 16, en matière plastique non polluante, par exemple en polyéthylène, monté sur le goulot 2 du récipient. La partie supérieure 16a du flacon 2 peut être ovale, comme représenté sur la figure 2, en s'inscrivant dans le prolongement du contour cylindrique du récipient 1, la partie inférieure 16b du flacon 2 étant agencée sous forme cylindrique pour permettre la fixation du flacon sur le goulot 2. La partie inférieure du flacon 16 est ouverte et délimitée par un col cylindrique 17 de diamètre réduit.Product B, the oxidant in the example of the coloring shampoo considered, is contained in a bottle 16, made of non-polluting plastic material, for example polyethylene, mounted on the neck 2 of the container. The upper part 16 a of the bottle 2 can be oval, as shown in FIG. 2, by being an extension of the cylindrical contour of the container 1, the lower part 16 b of the bottle 2 being arranged in a cylindrical shape to allow fixing of the bottle on the neck 2. The lower part of the bottle 16 is open and delimited by a cylindrical neck 17 of reduced diameter.

La périphérie non vernie de la pellicule située du côté flacon 16 (oxydant) est protégée pour éviter tout phénomène chimique.The unvarnished periphery of the film located on the bottle side 16 (oxidizing agent) is protected to avoid any chemical phenomenon.

Un ensemble de perforation 18, constituant une pièce séparée du flacon 16, est fixé à la partie inférieure de ce flacon, sur le col 17. L'ensemble de perforation 18, avantageusement réalisé en copolymère, comprend un perforateur proprement dit 19 constitué par un élément tubulaire à extrémité inférieure en biseau, tourné vers les pellicules 7a, 7. Le perforateur 19 est situé radialement à l'intérieur de la paroi cylindrique 14 et est excentré par rapport à l'axe commun du récipient 1 et du flacon 16.A perforation assembly 18, constituting a separate part of the bottle 16 is fixed to the lower part of this bottle, on the neck 17. The perforation assembly 18, advantageously made of copolymer, comprises a perforator proper 19 constituted by a tubular element with a lower bevel end , facing the films 7 a , 7. The perforator 19 is located radially inside the cylindrical wall 14 and is eccentric relative to the common axis of the container 1 and the bottle 16.

Le diamètre extérieur du perforateur 19 est sensiblement égal au rayon intérieur du goulot 2, et le contour du perforateur est sensiblement tangent au prolongement de la surface cylindrique interne du goulot 2.The external diameter of the perforator 19 is substantially equal to the internal radius of the neck 2, and the outline of the perforator is substantially tangent to the extension of the internal cylindrical surface of the neck 2.

Le perforateur 19 est porté par un manchon intérieur 20 coaxial au récipient 1 et faisant partie de l'ensemble 18, lequel comporte un manchon extérieur cylindrique 21 muni intérieurement d'un filetage propre à coopérer avec un filetage conjugué prévu à l'extérieur de la paroi 13 de la bague 11, de sorte qu'un mouvement de rotation relatif du manchon 21 et de la bague 11 provoque un déplacement en translation du manchon 21 relativement à cette bague.The perforator 19 is carried by an inner sleeve 20 coaxial with the container 1 and forming part of the assembly 18, which comprises a cylindrical outer sleeve 21 internally provided with a thread suitable for cooperating with a conjugate thread provided outside the wall 13 of the ring 11, so that a relative rotational movement of the sleeve 21 and of the ring 11 causes a displacement in translation of the sleeve 21 relative to this ring.

Le manchon intérieur 20 comporte,dans sa paroi, des ouvertures longitudinales 22 et, à son extrémité inférieure, une saillie 23 tournée radialement vers l'extérieur, constituant une sorte de harpon. La paroi intérieure 14 de la bague intermédiaire 11 comporte, à son extrémité supérieure, une saillie 24 tournée radialement vers l'intérieur formant également une sorte de harpon propre à coopérer avec celui 23 de l'ensemble de perforation 18, pour s'opposer à une séparation axiale de la bague 11 et de l'ensemble 18 par dévissage.The inner sleeve 20 has, in its wall, longitudinal openings 22 and, at its lower end, a projection 23 turned radially outward, constituting a kind of harpoon. The inner wall 14 of the intermediate ring 11 has, at its upper end, a projection 24 facing radially inward also forming a kind of harpoon capable of cooperating with that 23 of the perforation assembly 18, to oppose an axial separation of the ring 11 and of the assembly 18 by unscrewing.

Le manchon intérieur 20 et le manchon extérieur 21 sont reliés par une partie 25 à section transversale sensiblement en U tournant sa concavité du côté opposé à la bague 11. Cette partie 25 est propre à recevoir, dans sa concavité, le col cylindrique 17 lequel est muni, vers sa base, d'un bourrelet d'encliquetage 26 propre à coopérer avec une gorge correspondante, prévue dans la partie 25, pour solidariser l'ensemble de perforation 18 et le flacon 16. La partie 25 en U constitue une jupe périphérique, solidaire du col 17 et du flacon 16, propre à glisser de manière étanche dans le logement 12 de la bague intermédiaire 11.The inner sleeve 20 and the outer sleeve 21 are connected by a section part 25 transverse substantially in U turning its concavity on the side opposite to the ring 11. This part 25 is adapted to receive, in its concavity, the cylindrical neck 17 which is provided, towards its base, with a latching bead 26 suitable for cooperating with a corresponding groove, provided in part 25, to secure the perforation assembly 18 and the bottle 16. The U-shaped part 25 constitutes a peripheral skirt, integral with the neck 17 and the bottle 16, capable of sliding tightly in the housing 12 of the intermediate ring 11.

En position de stockage du dispositif D (figure 3), l'extrémité inférieure de la partie 25 reste engagée dans le logement 12, mais est située vers l'extrémité supérieure de ce logement. En position d'utilisation (figure 4), la jupe 25 est enfoncée dans le logement 12 et son extrémité inférieure est située au voisinage du fond de ce logement.In the storage position of the device D (FIG. 3), the lower end of the part 25 remains engaged in the housing 12, but is located towards the upper end of this housing. In the position of use (FIG. 4), the skirt 25 is pressed into the housing 12 and its lower end is located in the vicinity of the bottom of this housing.

Le manchon 21 de l'ensemble de perforation est muni, à sa partie inférieure, d'une bande de garantie 31 qui prend appui, en position de stockage, contre un épaulement 27 situé à la base de la paroi 10. La bande de garantie 31 n'est reliée au manchon 21 qu'en certaines zones, ce qui établit un prédécoupage et facilite l'arrachement de cette bande 31, arrachement nécessaire pour permettre de visser le manchon 21 sur la bague 11 et de déplacer le perforateur 19 en vue de déchirer les pellicules 7, 7a.The sleeve 21 of the perforation assembly is provided, at its lower part, with a guarantee strip 31 which bears, in the storage position, against a shoulder 27 situated at the base of the wall 10. The guarantee strip 31 is connected to the sleeve 21 only in certain zones, which establishes a precut and facilitates the tearing of this strip 31, tearing necessary to allow the sleeve 21 to be screwed onto the ring 11 and to move the perforator 19 in view tear dandruff 7, 7 a .

Le flacon 16 est muni, à son extrémité opposée au récipient 1, d'un goulot équipé d'un embout applicateur 28, par exemple en polyéthylène. Le flacon 16 est coiffé par un capot 29, par exemple en polypropylène, comportant au centre un téton 30 pour fermer de manière étanche l'embout 28. L'auto-orientation du capot sur le flacon peut être obtenue grâce à des dents, en particulier très fines, prévues entre le capot et l'embout applicateur.The bottle 16 is provided, at its end opposite to the container 1, with a neck fitted with an applicator tip 28, for example made of polyethylene. The bottle 16 is capped by a cover 29, for example made of polypropylene, comprising in the center a stud 30 for sealingly closing the end piece 28. The self-orientation of the cover on the bottle can be obtained by means of teeth, in particular very fine, planned between the cover and the applicator tip.

Ceci étant, le conditionnement des produits et l'utilisation du dispositif sont les suivants.That said, the packaging of the products and the use of the device are as follows.

Après remplissage du colorant A dans le récipient en verre, on procède au vissage sur le goulot 2, de l'ensemble de l'anneau 4 et de la bague intermédiaire 11 encliquetée sur ledit anneau. Les pellicules d'aluminium 7, 7a sont en place et établissent une séparation au niveau du plan d'appui du bord 5 et de l'épaulement 15.After filling the dye A in the glass container, the assembly of the ring 4 and the intermediate ring 11 snapped onto said ring is screwed onto the neck 2. The aluminum films 7, 7 a are in place and establish a separation at the level of the support plane of the edge 5 and the shoulder 15.

L'ensemble de perforation 18 est fixé par encliquetage sur le col inférieur 17 du flacon 16. Cet ensemble est ensuite vissé sur la bague intermédiaire 11 par coopération du filetage interne du manchon 21 et du filetage externe de la paroi 13, jusqu'à ce que le bord inférieur de la bande de garantie 31 vienne en appui contre l'épaulement 27. Dans cette position, le harpon 23 a franchi le harpon 24 (voir figure 3) et il y a eu accrochage entre la bague 11 et l'ensemble de perforation 18. Le flacon 16 ne peut plus être retiré par un dévissage normal. Le perforateur 19 reste écarté des pellicules 7, 7a.The perforation assembly 18 is fixed by snap-fastening to the lower neck 17 of the bottle 16. This assembly is then screwed onto the intermediate ring 11 by cooperation of the internal thread of the sleeve 21 and the external thread of the wall 13, until that the lower edge of the guarantee strip 31 comes to bear against the shoulder 27. In this position, the harpoon 23 has crossed the harpoon 24 (see FIG. 3) and there has been a hooking between the ring 11 and the assembly perforation 18. The bottle 16 can no longer be removed by normal unscrewing. The perforator 19 remains separated from the films 7, 7 a .

On procède alors au remplisage en produit B (oxydant) du flacon 16 et on réalise le clipsage de l'ensemble du capot 29 et de l'embout 28 sur le goulot supérieur du flacon 16.The bottle B (oxidant) is then filled with the bottle 16 and the assembly of the cover 29 and the end piece 28 is clipped onto the upper neck of the bottle 16.

Le conditionnement est terminé et le dispositif D peut être conservé, avec les deux produits séparés, jusqu'à utilisation.The packaging is finished and the device D can be kept, with the two separate products, until use.

Il est à noter que les pellicules aluminium 7, 7a sont scellées sur deux pièces différentes à savoir l'anneau 4 et la bague intermédiaire 11 et sont testées séparément avant assemblage, ce qui constitue une sécurité pour la réalisation de l'étanchéité de séparation, en créant deux barrières successives. Toutefois, une seule pellicule pourrait suffire.It should be noted that the aluminum films 7, 7a are sealed on two different parts, namely the ring 4 and the intermediate ring 11 and tested separately before assembling, which is a safety for achieving the sealing of separation , by creating two successive barriers. However, one film may suffice.

Lorsque l'on veut effectuer le mélange des deux produits, on procède tout d'abord à l'arrachement de la bande de garantie 31, comme illustré sur la figure 1, pour dégager un espace libre annulaire entre la partie inférieure du manchon 21 et l'épaulement 27, et pour permettre le vissage de ce manchon 21.When we want to mix the two products, we first remove the guarantee strip 31, as shown in Figure 1, to clear an annular free space between the lower part of the sleeve 21 and the shoulder 27, and to allow the screwing of this sleeve 21.

On fait alors tourner, relativement au pot 1, l'ensemble du manchon 21, du flacon 16 et du perforateur 19.The assembly of the sleeve 21, of the bottle 16 and of the perforator 19 is then rotated, relative to the pot 1.

Il en résulte un déplacement axial du flacon 16 et du perforateur 19 en direction des pellicules 7 et 7a et un mouvement de rotation du perforateur 19 qui est excentré.This results in an axial displacement of the bottle 16 and of the perforator 19 in the direction of the films 7 and 7 a and a rotational movement of the perforator 19 which is eccentric.

Les pellicules 7 et 7a vont être découpées progressivement pratiquement sur toute leur surface grâce à ce double mouvement de translation et de rotation du perforateur 19.The films 7 and 7 a will be gradually cut practically over their entire surface thanks to this double movement of translation and rotation of the perforator 19.

En fin de vissage, les positions relatives du flacon 16, du perforateur 19 et du pot 1 sont représentées sur la figure 4. L'oxydant B contenu dans le flacon 16 tombe dans le colorant A contenu dans le pot 1. Le mélange se fait bien compte tenu du diamètre de perforation important assuré par le perforateur 19.At the end of screwing, the relative positions of the bottle 16, of the perforator 19 and of the pot 1 are shown in FIG. 4. The oxidant B contained in the bottle 16 falls into the dye A contained in the pot 1. The mixing is done taking into account the large perforation diameter provided by the perforator 19.

A l'utilisation, le produit relativement épais contenu dans le pot en verre 1 s'écoule dès que l'on exerce pression et dépression sur le flacon 16 en matière plastique.In use, the relatively thick product contained in the glass jar 1 flows as soon as pressure and vacuum are exerted on the plastic bottle 16.
