Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a refillable bottle usable in particular for perfumery products.
  • the user purchases the bottle containing the refill and when the product contained in the refill has been consumed, he need only purchase a second refill which is of a lower price because 'It doesn't have to be luxurious in any way. It then suffices to place the new refill inside the bottle to find the product identical to that of the first purchase.
  • Refill bottles also have the advantage of allowing refills to be stored in a smaller volume than that which would be required by storing the corresponding full bottles.
  • US-A-2,328,338 describes a refill bottle comprising, for maintaining the refill, two half-shells connecting along a substantially median plane and joined by sets of slightly conical nipples produced in several locations spaced apart in height on a half-shell and engaging in correspondingly shaped orifices made in corresponding locations on the other half-shell.
  • the present invention relates to a refillable bottle which has the advantage of being of a limited cost price and making it possible to easily confer on the bottle the aesthetic appearance and the luxurious character which are sought after, while avoiding the drawbacks. mentioned above.
  • the subject of the present invention is a refill bottle, in which the refill is held by two half-shells connecting along a substantially median plane, and comprising a means making it possible to secure the two half-shells in the vicinity of the neck of the refill, at the upper part of the bottle, characterized in that it comprises a base integral with the lower part of the first half-shell, the second half-shell comprising a means which makes it integral with the base or the first half-shell while allowing it to switch around the refill to come close against the first half-shell.
  • the two half-shells are secured in the vicinity of the neck of the refill by a latching device, a projecting part secured to a half-shell engaging elastically by force in a recess of corresponding shape practiced in the other half-shell.
  • the two half-shells are secured at the level of the neck of the refill by an internally threaded sleeve which engages simultaneously around male threads made partly on a half-shell and partly on the other half-shell to ensure the maintenance of the latter.
  • the half-shell which supports the base comprises, below the lower part of the refill, a recess in which an extension situated at the lower part of the can be engaged. another half-shell.
  • the refill comprises at its lower part an extension which engages in a recess of corresponding shape made in the base so as to ensure lateral positioning of the refill with respect to the two half shells.
  • This positioning is useful because the methods of manufacturing refills which are made of glass are such that significant manufacturing tolerances must be accepted, which can cause equally significant clearances between the half-shells and the refill.
  • the extension which is arranged at the lower part of the refill makes it possible to limit the consequences of these games.
  • a slightly deformable compensating member is placed, at least at certain points on the periphery of the refill, which makes it possible to make up for the play of variable importance which may exist between the half-shells and recharging.
  • this compensating member is constituted by a plastic strap which has a Greek-shaped profile of small amplitude, which allows it to deform elastically to compensate for the play existing between the half -shells and refill.
  • the compensating member has at its lower part two extensions also made of plastic which engage in a correspondingly shaped orifice made in the base so as to correctly position the lower part of the recharge.
  • the half-shells maintain the refill by pressing against it by their peripheries and not by their bottoms, which makes it possible to accept large tolerances for the thickness of the refill.
  • this characteristic makes it possible to open the bottoms of the half-shells to reveal the refill as well as the product that it contains.
  • half-shells and the base can be decorated and provided with accessories such as handles to give the packaging its aesthetic and luxurious character.
  • the two half-shells are connected substantially along the middle of the thickness of the bottle, but it is not essential for the two half-shells to be identical, one of which may for example be thinner over most of its section.
  • the refill 6 which is constituted by a glass container which has, in this case, a substantially parallelepiped shape and which is provided at its upper part with a neck 7 provided with a thread on which engages a threaded plug 8.
  • the half-shells 1 and 3 each have at their upper part a notch 9 in the form of a semicircle to allow the neck 7 of the recharge.
  • the half-shell 1 comprises, in the vicinity of the notch 9, two studs 10 which can engage elastically in orifices 11 of corresponding shape made in the upper part of the half-shell 3.
  • the dimensions of the studs 10 and of the recesses 11 as well as the characteristics of the material which make up the half-shells are such that when the studs 10 are engaged in the recesses 11, the two shells are held together in the vicinity of the neck 7.
  • This engagement is such that one can, by exerting traction, disengage the pins 10 from the recesses 11 and separate the two half-shells to have access to the refill.
  • the refill 6 is held in the half-shells by their peripheries 1 a and 3 a which rest on the periphery of the refill, a clearance 12 remaining between the side walls 7 a of the refill and the bottoms of the half-shells 1 and 3.
  • This characteristic also has the advantage of being able to make openings in the bottoms of the half-shells so as to allow the refill and its contents to be seen, without said openings interfering in any way with the fixing of the half-shells and the maintenance of recharging.
  • the half-shell 3 is subject to its lower part by two extensions 4 which engage in two recesses 5 of the base 2, on either side of a recess 13 made in the base, to receive a boss 14 made at the bottom of the refill 6.
  • This boss 14 has the advantage, by engaging in the recess 13 of the base, of correctly positioning the refill 6 inside the two half-shells.
  • each half-shell is provided with a circular opening which lets see the refill and its contents.
  • the half-shell 1 has a greater thickness than the half-shell 3, so that these two half-shells do not completely connect in the median plane of the bottle, but along line 14 ′ which corresponds to a purely aesthetic edge which is located symmetrically on the half-shell 1.
  • the half-shell 1 is extended at its upper part by a male half-thread 1 b and the half-shell 3 is extended at its upper part by a corresponding male half-thread 3 b .
  • the two half-shells are joined together using a threaded sleeve 15 which engages on the external thread formed by the two half-threads 1b and 3b .
  • the external surface of the sleeve 15 receives the cover 16 which is shown in FIG. 6 and which can have any external shape.
  • the refill 6 has at its upper part its own plug, or even a spraying device, which have not been shown in the drawing.
  • FIG. 9 shows a compensator 16 according to a preferred embodiment of the invention which makes it possible to fill the variable clearance which exists between the periphery of the half-shells 1 and 3 and the periphery of the refill 6 according to the tolerances Manufacturing.
  • This compensator 16 has a generally cylindrical shape. It has at its upper part an orifice 17 ensuring the passage of the neck 7 of the refill. It also has at its lower part a second orifice 18 in which is housed a boss of corresponding shape made at the bottom of the refill 6 so as to correctly position the compensator 16 on the periphery of the refill.
  • the compensator 16 finally comprises on its lower part two fins 19 which are intended to come to bear against the walls 13 of the recess made in the base 2 to ensure the correct positioning of the lower part of the refill with respect to the half shell 1.
  • the compensator has on its periphery side view a general shape of a Greek, the parts 16a of the compensating bearing against the periphery of the refill 6, so that portions 16 b deviate slightly to be able to get involved elastically against the internal walls located at the periphery of the half-shells 1 and 3.
  • the refill 6 is maintained by its periphery using the half-shells 1 and 3, the compensator 16 ensuring both the correct positioning of the refill by compared to the half-shell 1, thanks to the tongues 19 which engage in the orifice 13 of the base and to the orifice 18 which receives a boss of corresponding shape located on the refill 6, while achieving elastic compensation for the play of variable size which, due to machining tolerances, must exist between the periphery of the half-shells and the refill.
  • the assembly of the bottle according to the invention is carried out in a particular simple and rapid manner.
  • the compensator 16 is placed around the refill 6 by first engaging the neck 7 in the orifice 17 and introducing the corresponding boss in the lower recess 18.
  • the tongues 19 are engaged in the recess 13 of the foot by tilting the refill which is then folded back inside the half-shell 1. Then the lower extension 4 of the half-shell is engaged 3 in the orifice 5 of the base and the half-shell 3 is folded back against the half-shell 1 in order to finally secure the two half-shells 1 and 3 together using the threaded sleeve 15 which engages simultaneously on the half-threads 1 b and 3 b .
  • a decorative cover can advantageously be placed removably on the threaded sleeve 15.
