Description

L'invention concerne un dispositif verseur pour bidon ainsi que les bidons pourvus de ce dispositif.The invention relates to a pouring device for a container as well as the containers provided with this device.

Pour faciliter le versement du contenu d'un bidon et, par exemple, d'un bidon d'huile à l'intérieur d'un moteur de véhicule automobile, il est connu de prévoir un manchon creux ouvert à ses deux extrémités à l'intérieur du goulot de bidon, ce manchon étant mobile par coulissement entre deux positions extrêmes pour l'une desquelles ou position de non-utilisation, il est coulissé à l'intérieur du bidon et pour l'autre desquelles, il est coulissé vers l'extérieur du bidon afin de prolonger le goulot et de faciliter le versement du liquide contenu dans le bidon.To facilitate the pouring of the contents of a container and, for example, a container of oil inside a motor vehicle engine, it is known to provide a hollow sleeve open at its two ends at the inside the canister neck, this sleeve being movable by sliding between two extreme positions for one of which or position of non-use, it is slid inside the canister and for the other of which, it is slid towards outside of the container to extend the neck and facilitate the pouring of the liquid contained in the container.

Un tel manchon est par exemple décrit dans le brevet suisse N° 443 950. Suivant ce brevet, les moyens de retenue sont constitués par des languettes longitudinales.Such a sleeve is for example described in Swiss patent N ° 443,950. According to this patent, the retaining means are constituted by longitudinal tongues.

Le brevet U. S. n° 2 042 068 décrit un flacon saupoudreur comportant un bouchon creux dont la paroi est pourvue de languettes semi découpées.U.S. Patent No. 2,042,068 describes a sprinkler bottle having a hollow stopper, the wall of which is provided with semi-cut tabs.

Les dispositifs verseurs pour bidon, pour être idéals, doivent établir une bonne étanchéité avec la paroi interne du goulot, notamment dans la position d'utilisation, ils doivent pouvoir être mis en place aisément sur le goulot du bidon sans subir de déformation permanente et ils doivent présenter des moyens qui assurent la retenue du manchon sur le goulot du bidon sans risque de déboitement lors de sa mise en position d'utilisation, ces moyens ne devant pas gêner l'introduction du manchon dans le goulot ou être détériorés lors de cette introduction.The pouring devices for canisters, to be ideal, must establish a good seal with the internal wall of the neck, in particular in the position of use, they must be able to be easily placed on the neck of the can without undergoing permanent deformation and they must have means which ensure the retention of the sleeve on the neck of the container without risk of dislocation when it is put in the position of use, these means must not hinder the introduction of the sleeve into the neck or be damaged during this introduction .

Egalement, en position de non-utilisation ce manchon doit assurer la fermeture étanche du bidon à l'aide d'un bouchon et, en outre, lors du débouchage du bidon, le manchon doit commencer à se dégager du flacon pour en faciliter sa mise en position d'utilisation puis assurer un écoulement régulier du liquide, c'est-à-dire permettre l'entrée régulière de l'air à l'intérieur du bidon au fur et à mesure de l'écoulement du liquide hors de ce bidon.Also, in the non-use position, this sleeve must ensure the tight closure of the container with the aid of a stopper and, moreover, when the container is uncorked, the sleeve must begin to disengage from the bottle to facilitate its placing. in the position of use then ensure a regular flow of the liquid, that is to say allow the regular entry of air inside the container as the liquid flows out of this container .

Or, jusqu'à présent, ces avantages sont obtenus d'une manière imparfaite sur les dispositifs verseurs existants et, en outre, la construction de ces dispositifs est telle qu'ils ne peuvent réunir tous ces avantages sur un même dispositif verseur.However, until now, these advantages have been obtained imperfectly over existing pouring devices and, moreover, the construction of these devices is such that they cannot combine all of these advantages on the same pouring device.

L'invention concerne à cet effet un verseur pour bidon se composant d'un manchon cylindrique creux, ouvert à ses deux extrémités et destiné à être placé à l'intérieur du goulot d'un bidon de manière à être mobile par coulissement entre deux positions extrêmes, des moyens de retenue étant prévus sur la paroi externe du manchon à proximité de ses extrémités pour déterminer ces deux positions extrêmes de coulissement, l'un de ces moyens de retenue étant constitué par des languettes orientées longitudinalement présentant sur leur face externe une surépaisseur en forme de dents de scie pour leur accrochage sur le bord intérieur du goulot, en empêchant la sortie complète du verseur lors de sa mise en position d'utilisation (voir CH-A-443 950), verseur caractérisé en ce que les languettes sont semi-découpées dans la paroi de l'une des extrémités du manchon, cette extrémité présentant un rétreint conique pourvu d'évidements, un de ces évidements étant prévu en regard de chaque extrémité libre des languettes semi-découpées.To this end, the invention relates to a can pourer consisting of a hollow cylindrical sleeve, open at both ends and intended to be placed inside the neck of a can so as to be movable by sliding between two positions. extremes, retaining means being provided on the external wall of the sleeve close to its ends to determine these two extreme sliding positions, one of these retaining means being constituted by tongues oriented longitudinally having an extra thickness on their external face in the shape of a sawtooth for their attachment to the inner edge of the neck, preventing the complete outlet of the pourer when it is put in the use position (see CH-A-443 950), pourer characterized in that the tongues are semi-cut in the wall of one of the ends of the sleeve, this end having a conical constriction provided with recesses, one of these recesses being provided opposite each free end semi-cut tabs.

Suivant une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le manchon comporte sur son rétreint conique quatre évidements décalés de 90°.According to another characteristic of the invention, the sleeve has on its conical constriction four recesses offset by 90 °.

Suivant une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les moyens de retenue du manchon sur le goulot, pour l'une de ses positions extrêmes, sont constitués par une collerette externe, le bouchon du bidon se vissant sur la face externe du goulot et comportant intérieurement, à la périphérie de son fond, une rainure annulaire à l'intérieur de laquelle vient se loger la collerette.According to another characteristic of the invention, the means for retaining the sleeve on the neck, for one of its extreme positions, consist of an external flange, the cap of the container screwing onto the external face of the neck and having internally , at the periphery of its bottom, an annular groove inside which is housed the flange.

Suivant une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le manchon est monté coulissant à. l'intérieur d'une bague, elle-même fixée à l'intérieur du goulot par ses propres moyens de retenue, ces moyens de retenue comprenant, à l'une des extrémités de la bague, une collerette externe s'appuyant sur le goulot et à l'autre extrémité de la bague des languettes se terminant par des crochets extérieurs.According to another characteristic of the invention, the sleeve is slidably mounted. the inside of a ring, itself fixed inside the neck by its own retaining means, these retaining means comprising, at one end of the ring, an external flange resting on the neck and at the other end of the ring of the tabs ending in external hooks.

L'invention est représentée à titre d'exemple non limitatif sur les dessins ci-joints dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue latérale d'un manchon conforme à l'invention,
  • la figure 2 est une coupe suivant A-A du manchon de la figure 1 placé sur le goulot d'un bidon,
  • la figure 3 est une vue de dessous d'un autre mode de réalisation du manchon,
  • la figure 4 est une vue partielle en coupe axiale d'un autre mode de réalisation du manchon,
  • la figure 5 est une vue en coupe axiale d'un manchon disposé sur le goulot d'un bidon par l'intermédiaire d'une bague,
  • la figure 6 est une vue de dessous de la bague de la figure 5,
  • la figure 7 est une demi-coupe latérale de la bague de la figure 5.
The invention is shown by way of nonlimiting example in the accompanying drawings in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a side view of a sleeve according to the invention,
  • FIG. 2 is a section along AA of the sleeve of FIG. 1 placed on the neck of a container,
  • FIG. 3 is a bottom view of another embodiment of the sleeve,
  • FIG. 4 is a partial view in axial section of another embodiment of the sleeve,
  • FIG. 5 is a view in axial section of a sleeve disposed on the neck of a container by means of a ring,
  • FIG. 6 is a bottom view of the ring of FIG. 5,
  • FIG. 7 is a side half-section of the ring of FIG. 5.

Le manchon représenté sur les figures 1 et 2 se compose d'un tube cylindrique creux 1, ouvert à ses deux extrémités, et obtenu par moulage d'une matière plastique, ce manchon 1 étant destiné à se loger à l'intérieur du goulot 21 du bidon 2 afin de pouvoir coulisser entre deux positions extrêmes constituant les positions d'utilisation et de non-utilisation du manchon.The sleeve shown in Figures 1 and 2 consists of a hollow cylindrical tube 1, open at both ends, and obtained by molding a plastic material, this sleeve 1 being intended to be housed inside the neck 2 1 of the container 2 in order to be able to slide between two extreme positions constituting the positions of use and non-use of the sleeve.

A cet effet, l'extrémité supérieure du manchon 1 comporte une collerette externe 4 qui, en position de non-utilisation du manchon, vient s'appliquer contre le rebord du goulot en empêchant ainsi sa chute à l'intérieur du bidon. Lorsque cette collerette est en appui sur le rebord du goulot, le bouchon 3 peut être vissé sur la paroi externe de ce goulot jusqu'à ce que son fond 3, vienne serrer cette collerette contre le rebord du goulot en assurant l'étanchéité.To this end, the upper end of the sleeve 1 comprises an external flange 4 which, in the position of non-use of the sleeve, comes to bear against the edge of the neck preventing thus singing its fall inside the can. When this collar is in abutment on the edge of the neck, the plug 3 can be screwed onto the external wall of this neck until its bottom 3 comes to tighten this collar against the edge of the neck ensuring sealing.

Egalement, ce bouchon 3 comporte intérieurement une rainure 32 à la périphérie de son fond 31, cette rainure 32 recevant la périphérie de la collerette 4, de façon que le manchon 1 soit retenu sur le bouchon 3 lors de son dévissage du goulot 2, afin que ce manchon se place automatiquement en position d'utilisation lorsque l'on enlève le bouchon 3. Cette rainure pourra être délimitée sur son bord inférieur par l'extrémité supérieure du filet de vissage du bouchon.Also, this plug 3 has internally a groove 3 2 at the periphery of its bottom 3 1 , this groove 3 2 receiving the periphery of the flange 4, so that the sleeve 1 is retained on the plug 3 when it is unscrewed from the neck 2, so that this sleeve is automatically placed in the position of use when the plug is removed 3. This groove may be delimited on its lower edge by the upper end of the screw thread of the plug.

Comme on le remarque également sur les figures 1 et 2, le manchon 1 comporte au voisinage de ses extrémités, des portions 1, et 12 de diamètre élargi, la zone centrale 13 étant d'un diamètre légèrement plus faible que le diamètre interne du goulot 21 afin de faciliter le coulissement du manchon, les zones d'extrémité 1i et 12 étant au contraire d'un diamètre légèrement supérieur au diamètre interne du goulot afin de coopérer au maintien étanche du manchon dans l'une ou l'autre de ses positions d'utilisation ou de non-utilisation.As can also be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, the sleeve 1 has, in the vicinity of its ends, portions 1 and 1 2 of enlarged diameter, the central zone 1 3 being of a diameter slightly smaller than the internal diameter of the neck 2 1 in order to facilitate the sliding of the sleeve, the end zones 1 i and 1 2 being on the contrary of a diameter slightly greater than the internal diameter of the neck in order to cooperate in the tight maintenance of the sleeve in one or the other of its use or non-use positions.

L'extrémité inférieure du manchon 1 est pourvue d'un rétreint conique 5 se terminant par une collerette interne 5, qui délimite un orifice d'extrémité 52 pour l'écoulement du liquide. Du fait de ce rétreint 5 et de la collerette 5i, la section de l'orifice 52 est plus faible que celle de l'orifice opposé 41, ce qui contribue à obtenir un écoulement régulier du liquide hors du bidon.The lower end of the sleeve 1 is provided with a conical constriction 5 ending in an internal collar 5, which delimits an end orifice 5 2 for the flow of the liquid. Due to this constriction 5 and the flange 5 i , the section of the orifice 5 2 is smaller than that of the opposite orifice 4 1 , which contributes to obtaining a regular flow of the liquid out of the container.

A proximité de cette extrémité inférieure, le manchon comporte également des languettes semi-découpées 6, venues de moulage avec le manchon et orientées suivant l'axe de ce manchon, ces languettes 6 comportant sur leur face externe une surépaisseur en dents de scie 61 destinée à assurer la retenue du manchon sur le goulot du bidon dans sa position d'utilisation.Near this lower end, the sleeve also includes semi-cut tabs 6, molded with the sleeve and oriented along the axis of this sleeve, these tabs 6 having on their external face an extra thickness in sawtooth 6 1 intended to ensure the retention of the sleeve on the neck of the container in its position of use.

La zone conique 5 de l'extrémité inférieure du manchon comporte des évidements 7 destinés à coopérer à un écoulement régulier du liquide hors du bidon, certains de ces évidements 7, étant formés en regard de l'extrémité libre des languettes semi-découpées 6.The conical zone 5 of the lower end of the sleeve has recesses 7 intended to cooperate in a regular flow of the liquid out of the container, some of these recesses 7, being formed facing the free end of the semi-cut tabs 6.

Dans cette construction, les languettes 6 peuvent s'effacer à l'intérieur du manchon lors de sa mise en place à l'intérieur du goulot 21 et reprendre ensuite leur position initiale. Du fait de ces languettes escamotables, le manchon 1 peut être réalisé en matière plastique suffisamment rigide pour garantir une bonne étanchéité du manchon par rapport au goulot dans la position d'utilisation de ce manchon.In this construction, the tongues 6 can disappear inside the sleeve when it is placed inside the neck 2 1 and then return to their initial position. Because of these retractable tabs, the sleeve 1 can be made of sufficiently rigid plastic to guarantee good sealing of the sleeve relative to the neck in the position of use of this sleeve.

Par ailleurs, l'extrémité conique 5 pourvue des évidements 7 en coopération avec l'orifice d'extrémité 52 dont la section est plus faible que celle de l'orifice opposé 41, détermine un écoulement régulier du liquide du fait que l'air peut pénétrer de manière continue à l'intérieur du bidon par celui des orifices 7 qui est situé au niveau le plus élevé, compte tenu de l'inclinaison du bidon et du manchon.Furthermore, the conical end 5 provided with recesses 7 in cooperation with the end orifice 5 2 , the cross section of which is smaller than that of the opposite orifice 4 1 , determines a regular flow of the liquid because the air can penetrate continuously inside the container through that of the orifices 7 which is located at the highest level, taking into account the inclination of the container and the sleeve.

Afin d'éviter de manière plus sûre l'éjection du manchon hors du goulot soit lors de l'extraction du manchon à l'aide du bouchon 3, soit lors du versement du contenu du bidon, il a été prévu de rigidifier les languettes 6 tout en maintenant la déformation de ces languettes indépendante du manchon.In order to more safely avoid the ejection of the sleeve from the neck either during the extraction of the sleeve using the plug 3, or during the pouring of the contents of the container, provision has been made to stiffen the tongues 6 while maintaining the deformation of these tabs independent of the sleeve.

Ainsi, suivant la figure 3, les deux languettes diamétralement opposées 6 sont réunies par une cloison 8 venue de moulage avec le manchon et qui est susceptible de se cintrer latéralement lors de l'enfoncement du manchon dans le goulot afin de permettre aux surépaisseurs 6, des languettes 6 de s'effacer à l'intérieur du manchon. Après la mise en place du manchon, la cloison 8 revient automatiquement en position initiale du fait de son élasticité afin d'empêcher l'éjection intempestive du manchon hors du goulot et d'assurer la séparation du bouchon et du manchon.Thus, according to FIG. 3, the two diametrically opposite tongues 6 are joined by a partition 8 molded with the sleeve and which is capable of bending laterally when the sleeve is pressed into the neck in order to allow the extra thicknesses 6, tabs 6 to disappear inside the sleeve. After the fitting of the sleeve, the partition 8 automatically returns to the initial position due to its elasticity in order to prevent inadvertent ejection of the sleeve from the neck and to ensure the separation of the plug and the sleeve.

Suivant le mode de réalisation de la figure 4, un résultat similaire est obtenu -en reliant latéralement, par des rebords 62, l'extrémité libre des languettes 6 au manchon 1. Ces rebords 62 sont, de même que la cloison 8, obtenus directement lors du moulage du manchon et permettent aux languettes 6 de se déformer vers l'intérieur sans entraîner de déformation permanente du manchon.According to the embodiment of FIG. 4, a similar result is obtained - by connecting laterally, by flanges 6 2 , the free end of the tongues 6 to the sleeve 1. These flanges 6 2 are, like the partition 8, obtained directly during the molding of the sleeve and allow the tongues 6 to deform inward without causing permanent deformation of the sleeve.

Le manchon 1 au lieu d'être inséré directement dans le goulot 21 du bidon 2 pourra être introduit à l'intérieur d'une bague 9, elle-même préalablement mise en place à l'intérieur du goulot 21.The sleeve 1 instead of being inserted directly into the neck 2 1 of the can 2 can be introduced inside a ring 9, itself previously placed inside the neck 2 1 .

Un tel exemple est représenté sur les figures 5, 6 et 7.One such example is shown in Figures 5, 6 and 7.

Dans ce cas, la bague 9 disposée entre le goulot et le manchon, est pourvue de ses propres moyens de retenue sur le goulot 21 et comporte à cet effet une collerette externe 91 à l'une de ses extrémités, et des languettes 92 à son autre extrémité. Les languettes 92 comportent à leur extrémité libre des crochets extérieurs 93 destinés à venir en prise sur l'extrémité interne du goulot 21.In this case, the ring 9 disposed between the neck and the sleeve, is provided with its own retaining means on the neck 2 1 and for this purpose comprises an external flange 9 1 at one of its ends, and tongues 9 2 at its other end. The tongues 9 2 have at their free end external hooks 9 3 intended to come into engagement on the internal end of the neck 2 1 .

Cette bague 9 est réalisée en une seule pièce par moulage d'une matière plastique et les languettes 92 sont réalisées de manière qu'au repos elles soient inclinées vers l'axe de la bague.This ring 9 is made in one piece by molding a plastic material and the tabs 9 2 are made so that at rest they are inclined towards the axis of the ring.

Cette disposition permet de faciliter l'introduction de la bague à l'intérieur du goulot, les crochets 93 venant en prise sur l'extrémité intérieure du goulot lors de l'introduction, dans cette bague 9, du manchon 1.This arrangement makes it easier to introduce the ring inside the neck, the hooks 9 3 engaging the inner end of the neck during the introduction, into this ring 9, of the sleeve 1.
