Abstract
Description
On connaît des réceptacles-verseurs constitués par un boitier associé à un couvercle sur lequel l'usager peut exercer une pression pour le faire basculer en position d'ouverture, ledit couvercle étant ramené en position de fermeture par un ou plusieurs ressorts lorsque cesse ladite pression.There are known pouring receptacles constituted by a box associated with a cover on which the user can exert pressure to cause it to tilt in the open position, said cover being brought back to the closed position by one or more springs when said pressure ceases. .
De tels réceptacles sont relativement compliqués, coûteux et peu fiablesen raison de la présence des ressorts.Such receptacles are relatively complicated, expensive and unreliable due to the presence of the springs.
Le réceptacle-verseur selon l'invention évite cet inconvénient et est remarquable par le fait que la fermeture automatique de son couvercle est assurée sans l'aide d'aucun ressort, par la simple élasticité des pièces qui le composent.The receptacle-pourer according to the invention avoids this drawback and is remarkable in that the automatic closing of its cover is ensured without the aid of any spring, by the simple elasticity of the parts which compose it.
Il est caractérisé par le fait que son bottier comporte, axialement opposées, deux fentes débouchant à sa partie supérieure et prolongées chacune par une échancrure arrondie et que son couvercle comporte deux ergots terminés par des boules saillantes, les dites boules étant engagées dans les dites échancrures pour former un axe de basculement du couvercle et les ergots étant engagés dans les fentes en position de fermeture du couvercle, tandis qu'ils viennent se loger à l'intérieur du bottier lorsque l'usager exerce une pression sur le couvercle pour le faire basculer en position d'ouverture, les parois du boîtier ou les ergots ayant une élas- ticité telle qu'elle ramène les dits ergots dans les fentes et/ou par conséquent le couvercle en position de fermeture, lorsque cesse ladite pression:It is characterized by the fact that its boot has, axially opposite, two slots opening at its upper part and each extended by a rounded notch and that its cover has two lugs terminated by projecting balls, said balls being engaged in said notches to form a pivot axis of the cover and the lugs being engaged in the slots in the closed position of the cover, while they are being housed at inside the case when the user exerts pressure on the cover to tilt it into the open position, the walls of the case or the lugs having an elasticity such that it brings the said lugs back into the slots and / or consequently the cover in the closed position, when said pressure ceases:
Les figures ci-annexées représentent, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, une forme possible de réalisation d'un réceptacle verseur selon l'invention, à ergots rigides et bottier élastique.
- La figure 1 est une vue éclatée,.partiellement en coupe, montrant séparément le boitier du réceptacle et son couvercle,
- La figure 2 montre le boïtier sur lequel est adapté le couvercle,
- La figure 3 représente en élévation le réceptacle dans la position d'ouverture commandée,
- La figure 4 est une vue en plan correspondant à la figure 3 et,
- La figure 5 montre une variante selon l'invention.dans laquelle, lorsque les parois du boitier sont rigides, les ergots et les boules sont en matière souple dont la déformation provoquée au moment de l'ouverture permettra de remettre en place le couvercle automatiquement.
- FIG. 1 is an exploded view, partly in section, showing separately the receptacle case and its cover,
- FIG. 2 shows the box on which the cover is fitted,
- FIG. 3 shows in elevation the receptacle in the commanded open position,
- FIG. 4 is a plan view corresponding to FIG. 3 and,
- FIG. 5 shows a variant according to the invention in which, when the walls of the case are rigid, the lugs and the balls are made of flexible material, the deformation caused at the time of opening will allow the cover to be replaced automatically.
Le réceptacle-verseur selon ces figures se compose d'un bottier 1 et d'un couvercle 2.The pouring receptacle according to these figures consists of a
Le bottier comporte, axialement opposées, deux fentes 31, 32 débouchant à sa partie supérieure et se prolongeant chacune par une échancrure arrondie 41, 42. Le boïtier comporte d'autre part un pan coupé 5 reliant entre elles, d'un côté, les deux fentes 31, 321 de telle sorte que la paroi dudit boitier forme de ce caté, au débouché des fentes, une sorte de bec 61, 62, d'une hauteur légèrement inférieure à celle de la partie 71, 72, de ladite paroi de l'autre côté des fentes.The case comprises, axially opposite, two slots 3 1 , 3 2 opening at its upper part and each extending by a rounded notch 4 1 , 4 2 . The housing further comprises a cutaway 5 connecting together, on one side, the two slots 3 1 , 3 21 so that the wall of said housing forms this cat, at the outlet of the slots, a kind of beak 6 1 , 6 2 , of a height slightly less than that of the part 7 1 , 7 2 , of said wall on the other side of the slots.
Par ailleurs, le couvercle 2 comporte axialement opposés, deux ergots 81, 82, prolongés chacun par une sorte de boule 91, 92 plus saillante.Furthermore, the
Le couvercle comporte, d'autre part, un méplat de manoeuvre 10 et une jupe de guidage 11.The cover has, on the other hand, a maneuvering flat 10 and a
La figure 2 montre le couvercle 2 adapté sur le corps 1 : les ergots 81, 82 du couvercle viennent s'engager respectivement dans les fentes 31, 32 du boïtier, les boules 91, 92 se trouvant alors engagées respectivement dans les échancrures 41, 42, leur ensemble constituant ainsi une sorte de de charnière permettant le basculement du couvercle.Figure 2 shows the
Les figures 3 et 4 représentent le réceptacle lorsque l'usager appuie sur le méplat 10 du couvercle 2 pour ouvrir le réceptacle.Figures 3 and 4 show the receptacle when the user presses on the flat 10 of the
Les boules-charnières 91, 92, tournent alors dans les êchan- crures 41, 42 et la jupe 11 du couvercle s'engage a l'intérieur du bottier en déformant les parois souples dudit boïtier jusqu'à ce que le rebord dudit couvercle vienne buter sur les bords du pan coupé 5 dudit boitier, ce qui limite le basculement du couvercle; en même temps, bien entendu, la partie avant 12 du couvercle, formant opercule, s'écarte de la paroi du boïtier, dégageant ainsi une ouverture 13 permettant de déverser le contenu du boïtier,The
Par ailleurs, les ergots 81, 82, basculés vers l'arrière avec l'ensemble du couvercle, viennent se placer a l'intérieur du boïtier, entre les deux becs 61, 62, qu'ils écartent.Furthermore, the pins 8 1 , 8 2 , tilted backwards with the entire cover, are placed inside the housing, between the two nozzles 6 1 , 6 2 , which they separate.
Cette position se maintient tant que l'usager appuie sur le méplat 10 du couvercle.This position is maintained as long as the user presses on the flat portion of the cover.
Lorsque cette pression se relache, la simple élasticité des becs 61, 62, pousse les ergots 81, 82, jusqu'à les faire revenir dans leur position initiale dans les fentes 31, 32, ce qui provoque automatiquement le rebasculement du couvercle en position de fermeture.When this pressure is released, the simple elasticity of the nozzles 6 1 , 6 2 pushes the pins 8 1 , 8 2 , until they return to their initial position in the slots 3 1 , 3 2 , which automatically causes the tilting the cover back to the closed position.
Il va de soi que la section transversale du boitier peut avoir une forme quelconque, ronde, ovale, rectangulaire, carrée, etc.It goes without saying that the cross section of the case can have any shape, round, oval, rectangular, square, etc.
Le réceptacle-verseur selon l'invention, peut bien entendu, être utilisé à un usage quelconque, pour le versement ou la distribution de produits en pièces, tels que pastilles, bonbons, dragées, grains d'épices ...etc; ou de produits en poudre, tel que sel, poivre, sucre ... etc.The receptacle-pourer according to the invention can of course be used for any purpose, for the pouring or the distribution of products in pieces, such as pastilles, candies, sugared almonds, spice grains ... etc; or powdered products, such as salt, pepper, sugar ... etc.
Une autre réalisation est représentée dans la figure 5. Dans ce mode de réalisation, si les parois dudit bottier ne sont pas souples ou suffisamment élastiques, il est possible de fabriquer dans une matière souple le couvercle 2 ou simplement les boules 93, 94 et les ergots 83, 84 (l'ergot 84 et la boule 94 n'étant pas représentés sur la figure 5 qui est vue de côté). Selon ce mode de réalisation, en abaissant le couvercle 2 par le méplat 10, on déforme les parties 83 et 93 qui sont maintenues dans les fentes 31, 32, voir figure 5. Dès que l'on lache le couvercle, la déformation des ergots 83, 84, ramène automatiquement le couvercle en pcsition de fermeture.Another embodiment is shown in FIG. 5. In this embodiment, if the walls of said case are not flexible or sufficiently elastic, it is possible to manufacture the
