Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a container made of plastic or other material (glass for example), intended to receive a liquid.
  • the document EP-A 0 115 990 describes a container of this kind, arranged to receive liquids such as cleaning products, chemicals, etc., which have two flat support faces forming a dihedral, the l '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 a liquid expulsion opening.
  • this container has the advantage of being irreversible, that is to say whatever the position in which it is deposited on a horizontal plane, it is necessarily supported on one of the flat faces of the dihedral with the liquid outlet opening facing upwards. Thus the liquid cannot accidentally flow from the container after opening the neck.
  • the object of the present invention is to improve a container of this type, by increasing its volume for the same quantity of raw material used for its manufacture.
  • the container contemplated by the invention formed by extrusion-blow molding or by any other usual method, comprises a neck in which an opening is made for expelling the liquid, and two faces of which planar support parts form a dihedral and rounded parts are connected on the one hand to the flat parts and on the other hand to the neck.
  • the rounded parts for example cylindrical, are connected to the neck by a flat surface perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of symmetry of the container, and the two abovementioned bearing faces are connected by rounded side faces, the section of the container. and in particular of said rounded parts in a plane perpendicular to the flat parts, fits inside a rhombus or a square, with the exception of the neck which may possibly overflow outside the rhombus or the square , said planar parts coinciding with two sides of said diamond or square.
  • the two flat parts being dimensioned so as to serve as support faces for the container on a horizontal plane, the latter can only assume a stable position on one of its two support faces whatever the position in which we put it down.
  • the container is therefore irreversible or "self-erecting", even for dihedral angles greater than 90 degrees, which constitutes an important advantage compared to the container of EP-A 0 115 590.
  • the available volume for the liquid is significantly greater than that of the anterior container recalled above, thanks to the rounded parts, for example cylindrical, and this from a quantity of substantially equal raw material.
  • the size of the container according to the invention is reduced compared to the container of EP-A 0 115 990, and therefore offers better storage facilities.
  • the container shown in Figures 1 to 3 is made of a suitable material, such as plastic, complex, glass, etc. and is intended to receive a liquid such as for example a household cleaning product.
  • This container formed by extrusion blow molding or by any other usual method, comprises a neck 1 in which an opening is made for expelling the liquid and two faces 2, 3 each constituted by a flat support part 2A, 3A respectively and by a rounded part, for example cylindrical 2B, 3B respectively connected on the one hand to the corresponding flat part 2A, 3A and on the other hand to the neck 1 by a flat surface 4, the two flat parts 2A, 3A forming a dihedron of which the angle in this example is less than 90 degrees.
  • the neck 1 can obviously either be completely inscribed inside the diamond L, either extend more outside than in Figure 2.
  • the bottle has, from the top of the neck 1 to the top S of the dihedral 2A, 3A, two profiles symmetrical with respect to the great diagonal D connecting the vertices A and B of the diamond L, on which is preferably located the center of curvature 0 of the spherical parts 2B and 3B.
  • the large diagonal D of the diamond L constitutes, in section, the axis of symmetry of the two halves of the container.
  • the bottom 2A, 2B whose apex S is preferably rounded, is inscribed in one of the angles of the rhombus, while the neck 1 is placed in the opposite angle (or slightly beyond).
  • the bottle or container has its center of gravity always shifted towards the bottom 2A or 3A on which it rests, behind the vertical EF or GH ( Figure 2) drawn from the points contact F (or G) of the rounded part 3B (or 2B) with the adjoining flat surface 3A (or 2A) on which it is placed.
  • Figure 2 drawn from the points contact F (or G) of the rounded part 3B (or 2B) with the adjoining flat surface 3A (or 2A) on which it is placed.
  • the container In its stabilized position, the container always retains the orifice of its neck 1 above the level of liquid it contains, so that the latter cannot then flow by simple gravity out of the bottle.
  • the two arcs of circle GE and FH of a section of the container in the plane of Figure 2 are inscribed in the diamond L, and have for common center O, point of intersection of the two diagonals AB and CD of the container. These arcs of a circle GE and FH connect two by two the opposite sides of the angles where the bottom 2A, 3A and the neck 1 of the bottle are respectively inscribed.
  • the flat surface 4 cuts the diagonal AB perpendicularly and is connected to the rounded parts 2B, 3B by the points E and H.
  • the arcs of a circle GE and FH can be replaced by non-circular curves, the function of which obviously remains identical.
  • the geometry of the neck 1 can vary widely.
  • the two faces 2A, 2B and 3A, 3B are connected by rounded side faces 5 ( Figure 1).
  • Figure 1 the container cannot be placed on one of its edges or side faces 5 and is, on the contrary, forced to position itself on one of the two bearing faces 2A, 2B or 3A, 3B if it is placed on the one of faces 5.
  • the container may have di., Poured shapes.
  • the end S of the bottom, preferably rounded or possibly truncated NM must be located as close as possible to the top of the adjacent angle of the rhombus L.
  • the second embodiment illustrated in Figure 4 differs from the previous one in that the container 6 is here inscribed in section in a square A ', B', C ', D' and that the neck 7, the end of which slightly exceeds the upper angle of this square, is significantly shorter than the neck 1.
  • the flat parts 7A and 8A here extend over half of the sides of the square, and are connected to parts 7B, 8B of circular section , whose common center 0 is at the intersection of the diagonals A'B 'and C' D 'of the square.
  • the container 9 is inscribed in a diamond L ', and its flat parts 11A and 12A, delimiting a dihedron whose angle is greater than 90 degrees, connected by a rounded top S ', are connected to the respective spherical parts 11B and 12B at points G' and F '.
  • the latter are constituted by the intersections of the corresponding sides of the diamond L 'with the lines H'G' and E'F 'perpendicular to its sides and passing through the center 0 "of the spherical parts 11 B, 12B, the container being provided with '' a short neck 10.
  • the fourth embodiment of the container 13 illustrated in Figures 6 to 8, is inscribed in section in a vertical plane in a square C.
  • the container 13 is placed in abutment on its neck 14 and on its edge 15 connecting its rounded part 16B to the flat surface 18 of connection to the neck 14, this container having two flat parts 16A, 17A and a second rounded part 17B.
  • the vertical XY passing through point 15 and through the center of curvature of the rounded parts 16B, 17B separates the container into two volumes, the volume on the right filled with the liquid being greater than the volume filled with this liquid to the left of this vertical XY, whatever the level of the liquid L1, L2, L3, ... and this due to the geometric characteristics of the container conforming to the invention.
  • this position of the container 13 is not stable, and it tends to tilt automatically to come to be placed in the position of Figure 8, resting on one of the flat parts 16A, 17A after rolling on the corresponding rounded part: in this case the container 13 rests on its flat part 16A in Figure 8, position in which it is stable.
  • the volume of liquid located in the part of the container opposite its neck 14 and delimited by the vertical XY is greater than the volume of liquid located on the other side of this vertical XY, which ensures the stability of the container on one or the other of its flat bearing faces 16A or 17A.
  • the volume of liquid located between the vertical XY passing through the support line 19 defined by the middle of the rounded part 16B (or 17B) and the flat parts 16A, 17A is greater than the volume of liquid contained in the part of the container situated on the other side of the vertical XY, that is to say between the latter and the neck 14.
  • the container 13 automatically switches over on its rounded part 16B (or 17B) to come back to its stable position in Figure 8, in which its neck 14 is oriented upwards.
  • FIGS. 9A and 9B show an embodiment of the neck of the container, in which the neck itself 21 is connected to the body 22 of the container by a closure 23 and a neck. 24.
  • the closure 23 is constituted by two wall parts 23a, 23b profiled so as to be applied elastically against one another to close the container, these parts 23a, 23b being in this example hemispherical. They can be separated from each other by letting the liquid pass when sufficient pressure is exerted on the faces of the container, and come back elastically to apply against one another as soon as this pressure ceases.
  • these curved parts 23a, 23b close like lips due to the elastic effect due to their shape.
  • This elastic effect is caused by the reaction of the wall of the neck 24 with respect to the forces which are transmitted to it at a certain angle, by the curved shapes 23a, 23B.
  • the closure 25 is constituted by two wall parts 25a, 25b profiled in a broken line, and more precisely in this example in trapezium whose small bases are applied elastically against one another. These small bases can move away elastically when sufficient pressure is exerted on one or the other of the walls of the container or on both and come back to be applied one against the other by sealing the container when the pressure stops.
  • the upper edges 26a, 26b of the closure 26 have convex profiles facing one another, the lateral edges 27a, 27b being rounded as in the case of the closure 23.
  • the closure 30 is formed by a flat wall part 31 and a curved wall part 32, in this hemispherical example, applied one against the other.
