Description

Ensemble de distribution de produit fluide Fluid product distribution assembly
La présente invention concerne un ensemble de distribution de produit fluide comprenant un distributeur comprenant un réservoir de produit fluide définissant une paroi d'actionnement deformable, un orifice de distribution par lequel le produit fluide est distribué en enfonçant la paroi d'actionnement deformable, et un organe d'obturation amovible qui obture l'orifice de distribution au moins avant la première utilisation, une enveloppe d'habillage entourant le distributeur. Ce genre d'ensemble de distribution peut trouver une application privilégiée dans le domaine de la parfumerie, de la cosmétique ou encore de la pharmacie. Le document FR-2 796 368 décrit un tel ensemble de distribution comprenant un distributeur placé dans une enveloppe d'habillage. D'ailleurs, la présente invention peut parfaitement utiliser le distributeur ainsi que l'enveloppe d'habillage décrit dans ce document de l'art antérieur. En l'occurrence, le distributeur de produit fluide de ce document est réalisé à partir d'une coque, avantageusement thermoformée, associée à un film operculaire. La coque profilée et le film operculaire définissent ensemble un volume interne servant en grande partie de réservoir de produit fluide. Le réservoir peut être entièrement rempli de produit fluide, ou seulement partiellement, le restant étant rempli d'un gaz par exemple de l'air. Ce distributeur comprend un orifice de distribution masqué avant la première utilisation par un organe d'obturation amovible qui peut être replié ou arraché le long d'une ligne de rupture prédéterminée. L'orifice de distribution peut être formé par la coque ou le film operculaire, mais de préférence l'orifice de distribution est formé par une pièce de support généralement en matière plastique, intercalée entre la coque et le film operculaire. Ce distributeur se présente donc sous la forme d'une plaquette définissant un pourtour sensiblement plat et plan à l'intérieur duquel la coque forme une sorte de dôme renfermant le réservoir, la pièce de support ainsi que le bout de l'organe d'obturation amovible. Il s'agit là d'une forme de réalisation particulière utilisable dans le cadre de la présente invention, mais cette forme ne doit pas être considérée comme unique. En effet, on peut utiliser dans le cas de la présente invention tout type de distributeur définissant de manière rninimaliste un réservoir sur lequel on peut appuyer de manière à déformer ou déplacer une paroi d'actionnement ce qui entraîne une distribution du produit à travers un orifice de distribution avantageusement obturé avant la première utilisation par un organe d'obturation amovible.The present invention relates to a fluid dispenser assembly comprising a dispenser comprising a fluid reservoir defining a deformable actuation wall, a dispensing orifice through which the fluid product is dispensed by depressing the deformable actuation wall, and a removable closure member which closes the dispensing orifice at least before the first use, a covering envelope surrounding the dispenser. This kind of distribution set can find a preferred application in the field of perfumery, cosmetics or even pharmacy. Document FR-2 796 368 describes such a dispensing assembly comprising a dispenser placed in a covering envelope. Moreover, the present invention can perfectly use the dispenser as well as the covering envelope described in this document of the prior art. In this case, the fluid dispenser of this document is produced from a shell, advantageously thermoformed, associated with an opercular film. The profiled shell and the opercular film together define an internal volume serving largely as a fluid reservoir. The reservoir may be completely filled with fluid, or only partially, the remainder being filled with a gas, for example air. This dispenser includes a dispensing orifice masked before the first use by a removable closure member which can be folded or torn along a predetermined breaking line. The dispensing orifice can be formed by the shell or the opercular film, but preferably the dispensing orifice is formed by a support piece generally made of plastic material, interposed between the shell and the opercular film. This dispenser is therefore in the form of a plate defining a substantially flat and planar periphery inside which the shell forms a sort of dome enclosing the reservoir, the support piece as well as the end of the closure member. removable. This is a particular embodiment usable in the context of the present invention, but this form does not should not be considered unique. In fact, in the case of the present invention, any type of dispenser can be used which minimally defines a reservoir on which it can be pressed so as to deform or move an actuating wall, which causes a distribution of the product through an orifice. distribution advantageously closed before the first use by a removable closure member.
Quant à l'enveloppe d'habillage, elle est constituée dans le document FR-2 796 368 par une simple feuille de papier, de carton, de plastique, de métal ou encore d'autres matériaux appropriés. Cette feuille est repliée sur elle-même de manière à former une sorte d'étui à l'intérieur duquel est placé le distributeur.As for the covering envelope, it is constituted in document FR-2 796 368 by a simple sheet of paper, cardboard, plastic, metal or other suitable materials. This sheet is folded back on itself so as to form a kind of case inside which the dispenser is placed.
L'enveloppe d'habillage comprend une partie de fond destinée à être positionnée au contact du film operculaire du distributeur, une partie avant bombée qui s'étend sur le dôme formé par la coque profilée et une partie de rabat qui vient en recouvrement de la partie de fond pour y être collée et ainsi refermer l'étui. L'enveloppe d'habillage se présente donc sous la forme d'un étui présentant un fond plat et un dessus bombé. L'enveloppe d'habillage comprend également une partie arrachable ou repliable qui est délimitée par rapport au restant de l'enveloppe par une ligne de rupture prédéterminée. Cette ligne de rupture est avantageusement positionnée de manière alignée ou superposée par rapport à la ligne de rupture du distributeur. Ainsi, en arrachant ou en repliant la partie amovible de l'enveloppe d'habillage, on retire également l'organe d'obturation amovible du distributeur et on démasque ainsi l'orifice de distribution. Quant à l'actionnement de l'ensemble de distribution, il s'opère très simplement en exerçant une pression sur la partie bombée de l'enveloppe d'habillage au niveau où est formée la paroi d'actionnement du distributeur. En d'autre terme, l'actionnement du distributeur s'opère par enfoncement de l'enveloppe d'habillage.The covering envelope comprises a bottom part intended to be positioned in contact with the opercular film of the dispenser, a curved front part which extends over the dome formed by the profiled shell and a flap part which comes to cover the bottom part to be glued to it and thus close the case. The covering envelope is therefore in the form of a case having a flat bottom and a domed top. The covering envelope also comprises a tear-away or folding part which is delimited with respect to the remainder of the envelope by a predetermined breaking line. This rupture line is advantageously positioned in alignment or superimposed with respect to the rupture line of the dispenser. Thus, by tearing off or folding the removable part of the covering envelope, the removable closure member is also removed from the dispenser and the dispensing orifice is thus unmasked. As for the actuation of the dispensing assembly, it operates very simply by exerting pressure on the convex part of the covering envelope at the level where the actuating wall of the dispenser is formed. In other words, the actuation of the dispenser takes place by driving in the covering envelope.
Un inconvénient avec cet ensemble de distribution de l'art antérieur réside dans le fait que l'enveloppe d'habillage laisse les deux extrémités de l'enveloppe ouvertes, de sorte que l'on peut apercevoir le distributeur par ces deux extrémités. Ceci n'est esthétiquement pas très avantageux. D'autre part, la face avant bombée de l'enveloppe d'habillage n'a que très peu de soutien ou de support de sorte qu'elle a tendance à se déformer au niveau de ses extrémités. En outre, lorsque l'organe d'obturation amovible est retiré ou replié, ceci laisse apparaître l'agencement interne de l'ensemble de distribution, ce qui n'est pas non plus très esthétique. Enfin, toujours du fait du manque de soutien ou de support de la partie avant bombée de l'enveloppe d'habillage, l'ensemble de distribution présente une mauvaise tenue ou possibilité de préhension par la main de l'utilisateur qui ressent immédiatement une sorte de fragilité dans l'ensemble de distribution. La présente invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients liés à l'ensemble de distribution de l'art antérieur. Pour ce faire, la présente invention propose que l'ensemble de distribution comprenne en outre une structure de renforcement sensiblement rigide pourvue de moyens de réception pour le distributeur et définissant des zones d'application au niveau desquelles l'enveloppe d'habillage est en contact de la structure de renforcement, de manière à entourer au moins partiellement à la fois le distributeur et la structure de renforcement d'habillage. Cette structure de renforcement permet non seulement d'améliorer et de conférer une tenue à l'ensemble de distribution, mais permet également de protéger le distributeur qui est logé à l'intérieur. On évite ainsi tout risque d'endommagement du distributeur et plus particulièrement de son réservoir par écrasement ou enfoncement. La structure de renforcement fait ainsi en quelque sorte fonction de carapace de protection pour le distributeur et d'élément d'appui stable et solide pour l'enveloppe d'habillage.A drawback with this distribution assembly of the prior art lies in the fact that the covering envelope leaves the two ends of the envelope open, so that the distributor can be seen from these two ends. This is not aesthetically very advantageous. On the other hand, the face the domed front of the covering envelope has very little support or support so that it tends to deform at its ends. In addition, when the removable closure member is removed or folded, this reveals the internal arrangement of the dispensing assembly, which is not very aesthetic either. Finally, still due to the lack of support or support for the domed front part of the covering envelope, the dispensing assembly exhibits poor hold or possibility of gripping by the hand of the user who immediately feels a sort of fragility in the distribution set. The present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks associated with the distribution assembly of the prior art. To do this, the present invention provides that the dispensing assembly further comprises a substantially rigid reinforcement structure provided with receiving means for the dispenser and defining application zones at which the covering envelope is in contact. of the reinforcing structure, so as to at least partially surround both the dispenser and the covering reinforcing structure. This reinforcing structure not only improves and gives a hold to the dispensing assembly, but also makes it possible to protect the dispenser which is housed inside. This avoids any risk of damage to the dispenser and more particularly to its reservoir by crushing or sinking. The reinforcement structure thus acts as a sort of protective shell for the dispenser and a stable and solid support element for the covering envelope.
Avantageusement, la structure de renforcement comprend une fenêtre, la paroi d'actionnement du distributeur étant positionnée au niveau de cette fenêtre, l'enveloppe d'habillage recouvrant la fenêtre, de sorte que la paroi d'actionnement est actionnable à travers l'enveloppe. De préférence, la fenêtre est bordée par des premières zones d'application pour l'enveloppe d'habillage. Selon une forme de réalisation, la structure de renforcement peut comprendre un corps définissant une face avant et une face arrière, la face avant formant la fenêtre et les premières zones d'apphcation, la face arrière étant largement ouverte et pourvue de premiers moyens de réception pour le distributeur, de sorte que le distributeur est engageable dans le corps par sa face arrière et positionné dans celui-ci avec sa paroi d'actionnement accessible à travers la fenêtre du corps. Avantageusement, le corps comprend un flasque de fond. De manière plus détaillée, les premières zones d'application du corps peuvent comprendre une zone de fond, une zone supérieure et deux zones latérales reliant la zone de fond à la zone supérieure, bordant ainsi la fenêtre. Par exemple, les zones d'application peuvent être courbes de manière à former ensemble un tronçon de segment de cylindre dans lequel la fenêtre est percée. Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, le corps comprend une paroi supérieure au niveau de laquelle débouche l'orifice de distribution. D'autre part, le distributeur peut comprendre une face arrière sensiblement plane qui vient obturer la face arrière ouverte du corps, l'enveloppe d'habillage recouvrant la face arrière du distributeur. Selon un autre aspect avantageux de l'invention, la structure de renforcement comprend une tête définissant une face avant et une face arrière, la face avant formant une seconde zone d'application pour l'enveloppe d'habillage, la face arrière étant ouverte et pourvue de seconds moyens de réception pour l'organe d'obturation amovible du distributeur. Avantageusement, la tête est rattachée au corps par au moins un pont de matière pliable ou cassable, de sorte que la tête peut être rabattue ou détachée du corps en entraînant avec elle l'organe d'obturation amovible qui dégage ainsi l'orifice de distribution.Advantageously, the reinforcing structure comprises a window, the actuating wall of the dispenser being positioned at this window, the covering envelope covering the window, so that the actuating wall can be actuated through the envelope. . Preferably, the window is bordered by first application zones for the covering envelope. According to one embodiment, the reinforcing structure may comprise a body defining a front face and a rear face, the front face forming the window and the first apphcation zones, the rear face being largely open and provided with first receiving means for the dispenser, so that the dispenser can be engaged in the body by its rear face and positioned in the latter with its actuating wall accessible through the body window. Advantageously, the body comprises a bottom flange. In more detail, the first areas of application of the body may include a bottom area, an upper area and two lateral areas connecting the bottom area to the upper area, thus bordering the window. For example, the application zones can be curved so as to form together a segment of cylinder segment in which the window is drilled. According to another aspect of the invention, the body comprises an upper wall at the level of which the dispensing orifice opens. On the other hand, the dispenser may include a substantially planar rear face which seals the open rear face of the body, the covering envelope covering the rear face of the distributor. According to another advantageous aspect of the invention, the reinforcing structure comprises a head defining a front face and a rear face, the front face forming a second application zone for the covering envelope, the rear face being open and provided with second receiving means for the removable closure member of the dispenser. Advantageously, the head is attached to the body by at least one bridge of pliable or breakable material, so that the head can be folded down or detached from the body by carrying with it the removable closure member which thus releases the dispensing orifice. .
Avantageusement, la tête comprend une paroi inférieure à travers laquelle passe l'organe d'obturation amovible. D'autre part, la tête peut comprendre un flasque de tête qui coiffe et obture la tête.Advantageously, the head comprises a lower wall through which the removable closure member passes. On the other hand, the head may include a head flange which covers and closes the head.
De préférence, la seconde zone d'apphcation est courbe, de manière à former un tronçon de segment de cylindre. Il est également préférable que les premières zones d'application et. la seconde zone d'application présentent une courbure identique. Selon un autre aspect, les flasques de fond et de tête forment chacun un rebord qui fait saillie par rapport aux zones d'application. L'enveloppe d'habillage peut ainsi être maintenue parfaitement fixement sur la structure de renforcement en étant en contact bloqué contre les rebords formés par les flasques de fond et de tête. On évite ainsi tout coulissement de l'enveloppe d'habillage sur la structure de renforcement. Plus généralement, il est préférable que les zones d'apphcation soient courbes de manière à former un tronçon de segment de cylindre sur lequel l'enveloppe d'habillage est appliquée et de préférence bloquée.Preferably, the second apposition area is curved, so as to form a segment of cylinder segment. It is also preferable that the first application areas and. the second application zone has an identical curvature. According to another aspect, the bottom and head flanges each form a rim which projects from the application areas. The envelope covering can thus be held perfectly fixedly on the reinforcement structure while being in blocked contact against the edges formed by the bottom and head flanges. This avoids any sliding of the covering envelope on the reinforcing structure. More generally, it is preferable for the apprehension zones to be curved so as to form a segment of cylinder segment on which the covering envelope is applied and preferably blocked.
Toujours de manière très générale, la structure de renforcement comprend un corps et une tête, le corps définissant une paroi supérieure et la tête définissant une paroi inférieure, les deux parois se faisant face en passant sur le distributeur sensiblement au niveau de l'orifice et de l'organe d'obturation amovible. Ces deux parois permettent, une fois l'organe d'obturation amovible replié ou arraché de masquer l'intérieur de l'ensemble de distribution, ce qui contribue grandement à son esthétique en présentant seulement deux parois d' obturation propres .Still very generally, the reinforcing structure comprises a body and a head, the body defining an upper wall and the head defining a lower wall, the two walls facing each other passing over the distributor substantially at the orifice and of the removable closure member. These two walls allow, once the removable closure member folded or torn to hide the interior of the dispensing assembly, which greatly contributes to its aesthetics by presenting only two clean closure walls.
L'invention sera maintenant plus amplement décrite en référence aux dessins joints donnant à titre d'exemple non limitatif un mode de réalisation de l'invention.The invention will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings which give an embodiment of the invention by way of non-limiting example.

L'ensemble de distribution de produit fluide selon l'invention comprend trois éléments constitutifs, à savoir un distributeur de produit fluide 1, une structure de renforcement 2 et une enveloppe d'habillage 3. Le distributeur 1 est disposé dans la structure de renforcement 2 et l'ensemble ainsi constitué est enveloppé dans l'enveloppe d'habillage 3.The fluid dispenser assembly according to the invention comprises three constituent elements, namely a fluid dispenser 1, a reinforcement structure 2 and a covering envelope 3. The dispenser 1 is disposed in the reinforcement structure 2 and the assembly thus formed is wrapped in the covering envelope 3.
Le distributeur de produit fluide 1 peut être semblable ou identique à celui décrit dans le document précité FR-2 796 368. Il comprend ici une coque supérieure profilée 10 associée à une feuille ou un film operculaire 19. La coqueThe fluid dispenser 1 can be similar or identical to that described in the aforementioned document FR-2 796 368. It here comprises a profiled upper shell 10 associated with a sheet or an opercular film 19. The shell
10 et le film 19 sont reliés sur leur périphérie de manière à former un pourtour plat et plan 11. Ce pourtour présente une épaisseur faible inférieure ou égale à environ 1 mm. La feuille 19 est de préférence parfaitement plane de sorte que la face arrière ou inférieure du distributeur est sensiblement plane. Quant à la coque 10, elle forme une partie en saillie ou dôme 12 qui définit intérieurement un réservoir de produit fluide 18 visible sur la figure 5. Ce dôme 12 est au moins partiellement deformable de manière élastique et constitue de ce fait une paroi d'actionnement deformable 13 sur laquelle on peut appuyer à l'aide d'un doigt pour diminuer le volume interne du réservoir 18 et ainsi mettre le produit fluide sous pression. Le dôme 12 se raccorde à une partie en saillie 14 qui forme avec le film operculaire 19 un logement à l'intérieur duquel est reçue une pièce de support ou de distribution 133 qui forme un orifice de distribution 134. Avantageusement, cette pièce de support 133 peut servir de support à une pièce de matière poreuse 144 apte à s'imbiber du produit fluide contenu dans le réservoir 18. La pièce de matière poreuse 144 est adjacente à l'orifice de distribution 144 de sorte qu'une pression sur la paroi d'actionnement 13 a pour effet de refouler le produit fluide stocké à l'intérieur de la pièce de matière poreuse 144 à travers l'orifice de distribution 134. La partie en saillie 14 qui est constituée par la coque 10 peut par exemple être soudée sur la pièce de distribution 133. En amont de l'orifice de distribution 144, la coque 10 forme une autre protubérance 15 qui isole l'orifice de distribution 134 de l'extérieur. Cette protubérance 15 est située au niveau d'une partie du distributeur qui forme un organe d'obturation amovible 16 séparable ou repliable le long d'une hgne de rupture 17 visible sur la figure 1. Cette hgne de rupture 17 passe juste devant l'orifice de distribution 134, de sorte qu'un arrachement ou un repliage de l'organe d'obturation 16 a pour effet de démasquer l'orifice de distribution 134.10 and the film 19 are connected on their periphery so as to form a flat and flat periphery 11. This periphery has a small thickness less than or equal to approximately 1 mm. The sheet 19 is preferably perfectly flat so that the rear or lower face of the dispenser is substantially flat. As for the shell 10, it forms a projecting part or dome 12 which internally defines a fluid reservoir 18 visible in FIG. 5. This dome 12 is at least partially deformable in an elastic manner and therefore constitutes a wall of deformable actuation 13 which can be pressed with a finger to decrease the internal volume of the reservoir 18 and thus put the fluid under pressure. The dome 12 is connected to a projecting part 14 which forms with the opercular film 19 a housing inside which is received a support or distribution piece 133 which forms a distribution orifice 134. Advantageously, this support piece 133 can serve as a support for a piece of porous material 144 able to soak up the fluid contained in the reservoir 18. The piece of porous material 144 is adjacent to the dispensing orifice 144 so that pressure on the wall d actuation 13 has the effect of pushing back the fluid stored inside the piece of porous material 144 through the dispensing orifice 134. The projecting part 14 which is constituted by the shell 10 can for example be welded to the distribution part 133. Upstream of the distribution orifice 144, the shell 10 forms another protuberance 15 which isolates the distribution orifice 134 from the outside. This protuberance 15 is located at a part of the dispenser which forms a removable closure member 16 separable or foldable along a breaking line 17 visible in Figure 1. This breaking line 17 passes just in front of the orifice dispensing device 134, so that tearing off or folding back the shutter member 16 has the effect of unmasking the dispensing orifice 134.
L'organe d'obturation 16 peut rester relié au restant du distributeur en étant ainsi rabattu par pivotement le long de la hgne de rupture 17, ou en variante, l'organe d'obturation 16 peut être littéralement retiré du distributeur.The shutter member 16 can remain connected to the remainder of the dispenser, thereby being folded down by pivoting along the breaking line 17, or alternatively, the shutter member 16 can be literally removed from the dispenser.
Il s'agit là d'une forme de distributeur de produit fluide déjà connue de l'art antérieur et notamment du document précité FR-2 796 368. La forme de réalisation de ce distributeur ne doit pas être considérée comme limitative, de sorte que de nombreuses modifications peuvent être apportées à ce distributeur sans pour autant sortir du cadre de l'invention. Notamment, la paroi d'actionnement deformable peut également se présenter sous la forme d'une paroi d'actionnement déplaçable, et l'organe d'obturation 16 peut se présenter sous la forme d'une simple languette, ou peut même être omis. Il en est de même de la pièce de distribution 133 qui est située sous la partie saillante 14, on peut très bien s'en passer. La caractéristique minimaliste du distributeur de produit fluide utilisable dans le cadre de la présente invention est que le distributeur comprenne un réservoir de produit fluide pourvu d'une paroi d'actionnement deformable ou déplaçable de sorte que lors de l'actionnement de cette paroi, du produit fluide est refoulé à travers un orifice de distribution qui peut être masqué ou non par un organe d'obturation amovible qui peut éventuellement être replaçable. On peut par exemple imaginer un distributeur de produit fluide réalisé à partir de deux feuilles souples définissant entre elles le réservoir, une pièce de distribution formant l'orifice de distribution pouvant être interposée et soudée entre les deux feuilles.This is a form of fluid dispenser already known from the prior art and in particular from the aforementioned document FR-2 796 368. The embodiment of this dispenser should not be considered as limiting, so that many modifications can be made to this dispenser without departing from the scope of the invention. In particular, the deformable actuating wall may also be in the form of a movable actuating wall, and the closure member 16 may be in the form of a simple tongue, or may even be omitted. It is the same for the distribution piece 133 which is located under the projecting part 14, we can very well do without it. The minimalist characteristic of the fluid dispenser that can be used in the context of the present invention is that the dispenser comprises a fluid reservoir provided with a deformable or displaceable actuating wall so that upon actuation of this wall, fluid product is discharged through a dispensing orifice which may or may not be masked by a removable closure member which may possibly be replaceable. One can for example imagine a fluid dispenser made from two flexible sheets defining between them the reservoir, a dispensing part forming the dispensing orifice can be interposed and welded between the two sheets.
Quant à l'enveloppe d'habillage 3, elle peut être semblable ou identique à celle décrite dans le document précité FR-2 796 368. L'enveloppe d'habillage 3 ici représentée sur les figures, se présente sous la forme d'un étui de section cylindrique mais non circulaire. L'enveloppe 3 comprend une face avant 31, une face arrière 32 ainsi qu'un rabat 33. Le rabat 33 est replié sur ou en dessous de la face arrière 32, comme visible sur la figure 4. Le rabat 33 et la face arrière 32 sont fixés ensemble, par exemple à l'aide d'un adhésif ou d'une thermosoudure. L'enveloppe d'habillage forme alors une sorte d'étui dont la face avant 31 est courbée ou bombée et sa face arrière 32, 33 qui est sensiblement plate. Cette configuration en forme d'étui correspond bien entendu à l'état final de l'enveloppe d'habillage 3 lorsqu'elle est en place sur la structure de renforcement 2. A l'état initial avant montage sur la structure de renforcement 2, l'enveloppe d'habillage 3 est dans la configuration représentée sur les figures 1 et 2, c'est à dire plane avec la partie avant 31 située de manière centrale et les parties 32 et 33 disposées de part et d'autre de la partie avant 31. La partie avant 31 de l'enveloppe 3 est bombée ou plus généralement profilée, car elle s'étend au- dessus de la coque 10 du distributeur 1 qui forme le dôme 12 avec sa paroi d'actionnement 13. Les plis 312 et 313 qui sont formés sur les bords latéraux de la partie avant 31 sont destinés à venir se placer au niveau des arrêtes latérales du distributeur 1 formées par le pourtour plan 11. De cette manière, la partie arrière 32 et le rabat 33 sont sensiblement plaqués contre le film operculaire 19 alors que la partie avant bombée 31 recouvre la coque 10. L'enveloppe d'habillage 3 est en outre pourvue d'une ligne de découpe ou de rupture 34 qui s'étend transversalement à travers les trois parties constitutives de l'enveloppe. Ainsi, cette ligne 34 délimite une partie détachable formée par les trois parties 31, 32 etAs for the covering envelope 3, it can be similar or identical to that described in the aforementioned document FR-2 796 368. The covering envelope 3 here shown in the figures, is in the form of a case of cylindrical but not circular section. The envelope 3 includes a front face 31, a rear face 32 and a flap 33. The flap 33 is folded over or below the rear face 32, as visible in FIG. 4. The flap 33 and the rear face 32 are fixed together, for example using an adhesive or a heat seal. The covering envelope then forms a sort of case, the front face 31 of which is curved or curved and its rear face 32, 33 which is substantially flat. This case-shaped configuration naturally corresponds to the final state of the covering envelope 3 when it is in place on the reinforcement structure 2. In the initial state before mounting on the reinforcement structure 2, the covering envelope 3 is in the configuration shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, that is to say planar with the front part 31 located centrally and the parts 32 and 33 arranged on either side of the part before 31. The front part 31 of the envelope 3 is curved or more generally profiled, because it extends above the shell 10 of the distributor 1 which forms the dome 12 with its actuating wall 13. The folds 312 and 313 which are formed on the lateral edges of the front part 31 are intended to be placed at the level of the lateral edges of the distributor 1 formed by the plane periphery 11. In this way, the rear part 32 and the flap 33 are substantially flattened against the opercular film 19 while the domed front part 31 covers the shell 10. The covering envelope 3 is further provided with a cutting or breaking line 34 which extends transversely through the three constituent parts of the envelope. Thus, this line 34 delimits a detachable part formed by the three parts 31, 32 and
33. Cette partie détachable est ainsi formée par un les segments 310, 320 et 330 des trois parties 31, 32 et 33. Une fois configurées en forme d'étui comme représenté sur la figure 3, ces parties 310, 320 et 330 se présentent sous la forme d'une boucle reliée au restant de l'étui par la ligne de rupture ou de pré-découpe33. This detachable part is thus formed by one of the segments 310, 320 and 330 of the three parts 31, 32 and 33. Once configured in the form of a case as shown in FIG. 3, these parts 310, 320 and 330 appear in the form of a loop connected to the rest of the case by the break line or pre-cut
34. Selon l'invention, cette hgne de pré-découpe 34 est alignée ou superposée avec la ligne de rupture 17 formée par le distributeur 1 de sorte qu'un retrait de la partie séparable de l'enveloppe a pour effet de plier ou de retirer en même temps l'organe d'obturation 16 du distributeur 1. L'enveloppe d'habillage 3 se présente donc sous la forme d'un étui dont les deux extrémités supérieure et inférieure sont ouvertes. Quant à la partie avant 33 elle forme un tronçon de segments de cylindre dont les bords rectilignes latéraux sont connectés à la partie arrière et dont les extrémités supérieure et inférieure courbes sont libres et ouvertes. Selon l'invention, l'enveloppe d'habillage 3 n'est pas directement enveloppée autour du distributeur 1. En effet, le distributeur 1 est reçu dans la structure de renforcement 2 qui elle est enveloppée dans l'enveloppe d'habillage 3. La structure de renforcement 2 forme des moyens de réception aptes à recevoir le distributeur de produit fluide 1 et des surfaces d'application adaptées à venir en contact de l'enveloppe d'habillage 3. La structure de renforcement 2 comprend une face avant partiellement fermée et une face arrière largement ouverte. Le distributeur 1 peut ainsi être inséré dans la structure de renforcement 2 par sa face arrière largement ouverte. D'autre part, la structure de renforcement 2 comprend deux flasques d'extrémités, à savoir une flasque de fond 23 et une flasque de tête 28. Ces flasques de fond et de tête 23 et34. According to the invention, this pre-cut line 34 is aligned or superimposed with the breaking line 17 formed by the distributor 1 so that a withdrawal of the separable part of the envelope has the effect of bending or remove the shutter member 16 from the dispenser at the same time. The covering envelope 3 therefore takes the form of a case, the upper and lower ends of which are open. As for the front part 33 it forms a section of cylinder segments whose lateral rectilinear edges are connected to the rear part and whose curved upper and lower ends are free and open. According to the invention, the covering envelope 3 is not directly wrapped around the distributor 1. In fact, the distributor 1 is received in the reinforcing structure 2 which is wrapped in the covering envelope 3. The reinforcing structure 2 forms receiving means capable of receiving the fluid dispenser 1 and application surfaces adapted to come into contact with the covering envelope 3. The reinforcing structure 2 comprises a partially closed front face and a widely open rear face. The dispenser 1 can thus be inserted into the reinforcement structure 2 through its widely open rear face. On the other hand, the reinforcing structure 2 comprises two end flanges, namely a bottom flange 23 and a head flange 28. These bottom and head flanges 23 and
28 ont pour effet d'obturer la structure de renforcement 2 à ses deux extrémités. On peut même remarquer que ces flasques 23 et 28 forment des rebords saillants28 have the effect of closing the reinforcement structure 2 at its two ends. We can even notice that these flanges 23 and 28 form protruding edges
230 respectivement 280 qui font saillie sur les zones d'apphcation adjacentes formées par la structure 2. En effet, entre ces deux flasques à rebords saillants 23 et 28, la face avant de la structure forme une série de zones d'apphcation 211, 212, 213 et 262. Toutes ces zones d'application sont bombées ou courbes de manière à s'étendre dans un plan courbe formant un tronçon de segment cylindrique dont le rayon est identique à celui de la partie avant 31 de l'enveloppe d'habillage 3. De cette manière, la partie avant 31 de l'enveloppe 3 peut être appliquée parfaitement sur les zones d'application formées par la face avant de la structure de renforcement 2. Les zones d'application de la structure 2 ne forment pas un tronçon de segment cylindrique plein : au contraire, ces zones sont interrompues par une large fenêtre 215 qui est bordée par les zones d'application 211, 212 et 213. Au niveau de la fenêtre 215, on peut prévoir une membrane souple constituée par une épaisseur de paroi plus faible. En outre, ces zones peuvent également être interrompues par une saignée profonde 249 bordée par deux parois supérieure et inférieure 24 et 29 respectivement. Ces parois 24 et230 respectively 280 which protrude from the adjacent apphcation zones formed by the structure 2. In fact, between these two flanges with projecting edges 23 and 28, the front face of the structure forms a series of apphcation zones 211, 212 , 213 and 262. All of these application zones are curved or curved so as to extend in a curved plane forming a section of cylindrical segment whose radius is identical to that of the front part 31 of the covering envelope 3. In this way, the front part 31 of the casing 3 can be applied perfectly to the application areas formed by the front face of the reinforcement structure 2. The application areas of the structure 2 do not form a section of full cylindrical segment: on the contrary, these zones are interrupted by a large window 215 which is bordered by the application zones 211, 212 and 213. At the level of window 215, a flexible membrane constituted by a thick weaker wall sor. In addition, these zones can also be interrupted by a deep groove 249 bordered by two upper and lower walls 24 and 29 respectively. These walls 24 and
29 sont reliées ensemble par des ponts de matière 205 qui sont adaptés à être plies ou à se casser. De cette manière, la structure 2 peut être repliée sur elle- même ou séparée en deux parties, formant ainsi un corps 20 et une tête 25. Le corps 20 forme les zones d'apphcation 211, 212 et 213 ainsi que la fenêtre 215 sur sa face avant 21, le flasque de fond 23 à son extrémité inférieure, la paroi supérieure 24 à son extrémité opposée, et des moyens de réception 225 sur sa face arrière 22. De son côté, la tête 25 forme la zone d'apphcation 262 sur sa face avant 26, le flasque de tête 28 à son extrémité supérieure, la paroi inférieure 29 à son extrémité opposée et des moyens de réception 290, 271 sur sa face arrière 27. Sur sa face arrière, visible sur la figure 2, la structure est largement ouverte et est bordée au niveau du fond par le rebord saillant 230 du flasque de fond 23, latéralement par les bord latéraux 214 formés sur les bords extérieurs des zones d'apphcation latérales 213, et au niveau de son extrémité supérieure par le rebord saillant 280 du flasque de tête 28. On peut également remarquer que les parois supérieure 24 et inférieure 29 sont chacune entaillées d'un échancrure 240 respectivement 290. D'autre part, il est également prévu des nervures 225 et 271, qui avec les arêtes inférieures des parois 24 et 29 forment les moyens de réception permettant de positionner et de maintenir en place le distributeur 1 dans la structure de renforcement 2. Le distributeur 1 est positionné de telle manière que sa paroi d'actionnement 13 est située au niveau de la fenêtre 215 et sa partie en saillie 14 en appui dans l'échancrure 240 de la paroi 24. De même, la protubérance 15 vient en appui dans l'échancrure 290 de la paroi 29. Quant au pourtour plan 11, il vient en appui sur les nervures 225 et 271 ainsi que sur les arrêtes d'extrémités inférieures des parois 24 et 29. Le distributeur 1 est disposé dans la structure 2 de sorte que sa hgne de rupture 17 est située entre les deux parois 24 et 29 qui sont reliées par les ponts de matière pliable ou cassant 205.29 are connected together by bridges of material 205 which are adapted to be kinks or break. In this way, the structure 2 can be folded back on itself or separated into two parts, thus forming a body 20 and a head 25. The body 20 forms the apprehension zones 211, 212 and 213 as well as the window 215 on its front face 21, the bottom flange 23 at its lower end, the upper wall 24 at its opposite end, and receiving means 225 on its rear face 22. For its part, the head 25 forms the apprehension zone 262 on its front face 26, the head flange 28 at its upper end, the lower wall 29 at its opposite end and receiving means 290, 271 on its rear face 27. On its rear face, visible in FIG. 2, the structure is wide open and is bordered at the bottom by the projecting rim 230 of the bottom flange 23, laterally by the lateral edges 214 formed on the outer edges of the lateral apprehension zones 213, and at its upper end by the ledge sa illant 280 of the head flange 28. It can also be noted that the upper 24 and lower 29 walls are each notched with a notch 240 respectively 290. On the other hand, there are also provided ribs 225 and 271, which with the edges lower walls 24 and 29 form the receiving means for positioning and holding in place the distributor 1 in the reinforcement structure 2. The distributor 1 is positioned so that its actuating wall 13 is located at the level of the window 215 and its projecting part 14 bearing in the notch 240 of the wall 24. Similarly, the protuberance 15 comes to bear in the notch 290 of the wall 29. As for the plane periphery 11, it bears on the ribs 225 and 271 as well as on the lower end edges of the walls 24 and 29. The distributor 1 is arranged in the structure 2 so that its breaking point 17 is located between the two walls 24 and 29 which are connected by bridges of foldable or brittle material 205.
De cette manière, l'organe d'obturation amovible 16 du distributeur 1 est entièrement reçu à l'intérieur de la tête 25 de la structure 2 alors que le corps 20 reçoit le restant du distributeur 1. Les bords latéraux du pourtour plan 11 peuvent reposer sur les bords 214 de la structure 2, mais les bords supérieur et inférieur du pourtour plan 11 sont placés à l'intérieur de la structure 2 en appui contre les flasques de fond 23 et de tête 28 comme on peut le voir très clairement sur la figure 5. De cette manière, le distributeur 1 est parfaitement calé entre les deux flasques 23 et 28. D'autre part, le distributeur 1 est calé latéralement par l'engagement de ces parties 14 et 15 dans les échancrures 240 et 290 des parois 24 et 29 et par la disposition de son dôme 12 entre les nervures 225. Ceci est visible sur la figure 3. On comprend aisément à partir de cette figure qu'il est possible d'appuyer sur la paroi d'actionnement 13 à travers la fenêtre 215 ainsi que de replier ou de retirer l'organe d'obturation 16 en arrachant ou en rabattant la tête 25 par flexion ou rupture des ponts de matière 205. L'organe d'obturation 16 sera entraîné par la tête 25 du fait qu'il est en appui sur les nervures 271 avec sa protubérance 15 insérée dans l'échancrure 290.In this way, the removable closure member 16 of the dispenser 1 is entirely received inside the head 25 of the structure 2 while the body 20 receives the remainder of the dispenser 1. The lateral edges of the plane periphery 11 can rest on the edges 214 of the structure 2, but the upper and lower edges of the plane periphery 11 are placed inside the structure 2 in abutment against the bottom flanges 23 and of the head 28 as can be seen very clearly in FIG. 5. In this way, the distributor 1 is perfectly wedged between the two flanges 23 and 28. On the other hand, the distributor 1 is wedged laterally by the engagement of these parts 14 and 15 in the notches 240 and 290 walls 24 and 29 and by the arrangement of its dome 12 between the ribs 225. This can be seen in FIG. 3. It is easy to understand from this figure that it is possible to press on the actuating wall 13 at through the window 215 as well as folding or removing the shutter member 16 by tearing off or folding the head 25 by bending or breaking the bridges of material 205. The shutter member 16 will be driven by the head 25 of the causes it to bear on the ribs 271 with its protuberance 15 inserted in the notch 290.
Une fois le distributeur 1 ainsi inséré dans la structure de renforcement 2, il suffit de l'envelopper à l'aide de l'enveloppe d'habillage 3 que l'on vient refermer sur elle-même. La partie avant 31 initialement plane va se conformer sur les zones d'apphcation 211, 212, 213 et 262 de la face avant de la structure de renforcement 2 pour adopter une forme de tronçon de segment cylindrique. Ceci sera également le cas au niveau de la fenêtre 215 étant donné qu'elle est entièrement bordée par les zones d'application. La partie avant 31 de l'enveloppe 3 adopte cette configuration de manière uniforme sans pouvoir discerner où elle est en contact avec les zones d'application de la structure 2. Cependant, du fait que les zones d'application de la structure 2 s'étendent sur la totalité de la périphérie de la partie avant bombée 31, il n'est pas possible de déformer le pourtour de la partie avant 31 qui est parfaitement supportée et soutenue par la structure 2. Ce n'est qu'au niveau de la fenêtre 15 que la partie avant bombée 31 peut être enfoncée pour actionner la paroi 13 du distributeur 1. Une fois la partie avant ainsi conformée sur les zones d'application de la structure 2, il suffit de rabattre la partie arrière 32 et le rabat 33 jusqu'à venir en contact de la feuille operculaire 19 du distributeur 1. Il suffit alors de fixer la partie arrière 32 et le rabat 33 ensemble par exemple à l'aide d'un adhésif ou d'une thermosoudure. Il faut remarquer que le distributeur 1 n'est pas fixé à l'intérieur de la structure 2 avant de venir l'envelopper avec l'enveloppe d'habillage 3. En effet, la fixation du distributeur 1 dans la structure 2 n'est pas nécessaire, puisque sa fixation définitive est assurée par la mise en place de l'enveloppe d'habillage 3 qui vient définitivement bloquer le distributeur 1 dans la structure 2. D'autre part, comme on peut le voir sur la figure 5, l'enveloppe d'habillage 3 est empêchée de coulisser sur la structure 2 du fait que les extrémités supérieure et inférieure de l'enveloppe 3 viennent en butée contre les rebords saillants 230 et 280 formés par les flasques de fond et de tête 23 et 28. De cette manière, l'enveloppe 3 est parfaitement bloquée en position sur la structure 2. En plus de leur fonction de blocage, les flasques 23 et 28 permettent d'obturer esthétiquement le fond et la partie supérieure de l'ensemble de distribution. Il en est de même des parois supérieure et inférieure 24 et 29 qui permettent d'obturer le corps 20 et la tête 25, particulièrement lorsque la tête 25 a été rabattue ou retirée du corps 20, dégageant ainsi l'orifice de distribution 134 du distributeur 1. En d'autre terme, les flasques 23 et 28 ainsi que les parois 24 et 29 permettent de cacher les éléments internes de l'ensemble de distribution formés par le distributeur 1. Ainsi, l'esthétique de l'ensemble de distribution est nettement améliorée par rapport à celui du document FR-2 796 368. A l'état initial avant utilisation, l'ensemble de distribution se présente sous la forme représentée sur la figure 6. L'utilisateur ne voit que l'enveloppe d'habillage 3 ainsi que les flasques de fond 23 et de tête 28. Le distributeur 1 est ainsi parfaitement masqué ou invisible. Et même lorsque l'orifice de distribution est démasqué par pliage ou retrait de la tête 25 et de l'organe d'obturation 16 le long de la ligne pré-découpe 34 superposée à la saignée 249 au fond de laquelle s'étend la hgne de rupture 17 du distributeur 1, les parois supérieure et inférieure 24 et 29 masquent encore toujours le distributeur 1 qui n'est visible qu'au niveau de son orifice de distribution 134.Once the dispenser 1 thus inserted into the reinforcement structure 2, it suffices to wrap it with the covering envelope 3 which is closed on itself. The initially flat front portion 31 will conform to the apprehension zones 211, 212, 213 and 262 of the front face of the reinforcement structure 2 in order to adopt a shape of segment of cylindrical segment. This will also be the case at the window 215 since it is entirely bordered by the application areas. The front part 31 of the envelope 3 adopts this configuration in a uniform manner without being able to discern where it is in contact with the application areas of the structure 2. However, the fact that the application areas of the structure 2 are extend over the entire periphery of the curved front part 31, it is not possible to deform the periphery of the front part 31 which is perfectly supported and supported by the structure 2. It is only at the level of the window 15 that the curved front part 31 can be pushed in to actuate the wall 13 of the dispenser 1. Once the front part is thus shaped on the application areas of the structure 2, it suffices to fold the rear part 32 and the flap 33 until it comes into contact with the lid sheet 19 of the dispenser 1. It then suffices to fix the rear part 32 and the flap 33 together, for example using an adhesive or a heat seal. It should be noted that the distributor 1 is not fixed inside the structure 2 before coming to wrap it with the covering envelope 3. In fact, the fixing of the distributor 1 in the structure 2 is not not necessary, since its fixation final is ensured by the installation of the covering envelope 3 which definitively blocks the distributor 1 in the structure 2. On the other hand, as can be seen in FIG. 5, the covering envelope 3 is prevented from sliding on the structure 2 because the upper and lower ends of the casing 3 abut against the projecting edges 230 and 280 formed by the bottom and head flanges 23 and 28. In this way, the envelope 3 is perfectly locked in position on the structure 2. In addition to their blocking function, the flanges 23 and 28 make it possible to aesthetically close the bottom and the upper part of the dispensing assembly. It is the same for the upper and lower walls 24 and 29 which make it possible to close off the body 20 and the head 25, particularly when the head 25 has been folded down or withdrawn from the body 20, thus freeing the dispensing orifice 134 from the dispenser. 1. In other words, the flanges 23 and 28 as well as the walls 24 and 29 make it possible to hide the internal elements of the distribution assembly formed by the distributor 1. Thus, the aesthetics of the distribution assembly is significantly improved compared to that of document FR-2 796 368. In the initial state before use, the dispensing assembly is in the form shown in FIG. 6. The user sees only the covering envelope 3 as well as the bottom flanges 23 and the head 28. The distributor 1 is thus perfectly concealed or invisible. And even when the dispensing orifice is unmasked by folding or removing the head 25 and the shutter member 16 along the pre-cut line 34 superimposed on the groove 249 at the bottom of which extends the hgne of rupture 17 of the distributor 1, the upper and lower walls 24 and 29 still mask the distributor 1 which is only visible at its distribution orifice 134.
Grâce à l'utihsation de cette structure de renforcement 2, l'esthétique de l'ensemble de distribution est nettement améliorée, sa tenue à la préhension est bien meilleure et son ouverture est plus propre et facilitée. En effet, la formation de la structure 2 sous la forme d'un corps et d'une tête séparés par une saignée profonde 249 permet de localiser très nettement la hgne de rupture ou de pliage, ce qui facilite grandement l'ouverture de l'ensemble de distribution. Thanks to the use of this reinforcing structure 2, the aesthetics of the dispensing assembly is significantly improved, its grip resistance is much better and its opening is cleaner and easier. Indeed, the formation of the structure 2 in the form of a body and a head separated by a deep groove 249 makes it possible to very clearly locate the breaking or bending hgne, which greatly facilitates the opening of the distribution set.
