Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a container made of flexible material intended to receive a liquid.
  • Document US-A 3635376 also discloses a container formed by the assembly of a relatively thick-walled half-shell and a flexible sheet thinner than the half-shell.
  • This document also describes an embodiment essentially constituted by two flexible membranes welded on the opposite faces of a rigid frame, these devices further comprising a hemisphere which can come by pressure to take two symmetrical positions against a corresponding flexible part of the membrane so close the container.
  • Document FR-A 1 065305 describes a container made of flexible material having two curvilinear faces obtained from a section of tube, with two perpendicular weld lines.
  • This anterior container has four stable positions, two of which with the liquid expulsion opening directed downwards. Therefore, in these last two positions, once the expulsion opening is cleared, the liquid necessarily continues to flow from the container, which constitutes an obvious drawback.
  • the invention therefore aims to provide a container of flexible or semi-rigid material, in particular plastic, capable of receiving the aforementioned liquids, and which is arranged in such a way that whatever the position in which it is placed on a support surface, the liquid it contains can never escape accidentally.
  • the invention aims to produce such a container, the cost price of which is considerably lowered by simplifying its structure compared to that of known comparable containers, and consequently its manufacturing process.
  • the invention also aims to provide such a container with a particularly simple and inexpensive closure device.
  • the container has two flat support faces forming a dihedral whose angle is less than 90 ° when the container is filled with liquid, these two flat faces being connected by a neck at the end of which is formed.
  • an opening for expelling the liquid, and the two flat bearing faces form part of two half-shells fixed to one another on their periphery according to a median plane with respect to which these two half-shells are symmetrical, the fixing preferably obtained by welding, and this container is provided with a liquid expulsion channel whose outlet opening is located at a level higher than the liquid level when the container remains on one of its bearing faces , and the distribution of the weight of the container, full or empty, is chosen so that the vertical passing through its center of gravity is located inside the perimeter of one of the bearing faces on a horizontal plane.
  • the container when the container is filled with liquid, it normally rests on one or the other of the two flat support faces, the liquid outlet opening being formed in a median plane of the container, with respect to which the two halves of it are symmetrical. Thanks to the angle formed between the two support faces, the liquid expulsion opening is therefore never directed downwards when the container rests on one of said support faces, so that the liquid cannot accidentally flow out of the container.
  • the container shown in the drawings is made of a suitable flexible or semi-rigid material such as plastic films, complexes, etc., and intended to receive a liquid such as a household cleaning product, other liquids obviously being able to be used.
  • This container comprises two half-shells 1, flexible or semi-rigid, symmetrical to each other with respect to a median plane P, materialized by an assembly bead 3 rigid and plane.
  • Each half or half-shell 1 has a flat face 2 bearing on a container support plane 4, and the faces 2 form between them a dihedral whose angle a (FIG. 1) is less than 90 ° when the container is filled with liquid and that therefore the faces 2 are tight.
  • the angle a is approximately 45 °.
  • Each flat face 2 is extended, on the side opposite to the dihedral edge, by a part 5 inclined on the plane of symmetry P, these two parts 5 converging so as to form a neck having a terminal opening 6.
  • each flexible half 1 has a bulge 7, of hemispherical shape in the example shown, these two bulges 7 together delimiting a sphere of diametrical plane P.
  • the half-shells 1 are extended by points 8 which meet at their ends.
  • the symmetrical half-shells 1 of the container are fixed to one another on their periphery, for example by heat sealing, along a bead 3 of assembly situated in the median plane of symmetry P.
  • This bead comprises a first loop 9 which has two branches 9a converging towards the liquid expulsion opening.
  • the branches 9a have end arms 9b which delimit between them a clearance 10, of circular contour in the example shown, which communicates with the space between the branches 9a by an opening 11 of the neck formed by the branches 9a.
  • the circular clearance 10 opens on the other hand into a central channel 12, the end of which is closed by a terminal ring or cover 14.
  • the assembly cord 3 therefore has a closed contour in which are successively delimited an interval inside the loop. 9, a communication passage 11 between this interval and the circular clearance 10, and the channel 12.
  • Each of the half-shells 1 constituting the container can be manufactured by thermoforming, heat-blowing, molding, etc., the container being obtained, by means of a machine known per se, by welding these two half-shells 1 to each other. another along their opposite edges, the liquid being introduced into the container also in a known manner during its manufacture.
  • the container After having expelled part of the liquid, the container can be closed by exerting manual pressure on one of the hemispherical bulges 7 (Figure 7), so as to apply this on the inside of the second bulge 7.
  • the two bulges hemispherical 7 then remain somehow glued to each other, which ensures the closure of the container.
  • the manufacture of the container according to the invention is significantly less expensive than traditional bottles, thanks to the simplicity of its structure.
  • closing it by applying one against the other of the two hemispherical bulges 7 further reduces its cost price compared to conventional bottles which must be provided with a stopper made distinct from the body of the bottle.
  • the invention is capable of receiving numerous applications and is not limited to the embodiment described.
  • the angle of the dihedral delimited by the two flat faces 2 can vary widely, while remaining less than 90 °.
  • the bulges 7 can be replaced by parts of non-hemispherical section.
  • the container Given its low cost, the container can be discarded after being emptied of the liquid it contains.
