Dans ce domaine, l'art antérieur est décrit par les documents résumés ci-après.In this area, the prior art is described by the documents summarized below.
Le document FR-A-2 063 175 décrit un flacon spherique portant des alvéoles cylindriques d'une dimension identique à celui du bouchon. Le bouchon d'un autre flacon semblable peut-être introduit et fixé dans une de ces alvéoles. Les assemblages formés par ces flacons peuvent être rendus plus complexes par l'emploi d 'entretoises de même diamètre que les bouchons et de longueur double.Document FR-A-2 063 175 describes a spherical bottle carrying cylindrical cells of a size identical to that of the stopper. The cap of another similar bottle can be inserted and fixed in one of these cells. The assemblies formed by these bottles can be made more complex by the use of spacers of the same diameter as the caps and of double length.
L'assemblage de ces flacons requiert l'utilisation d'une pièce annexe.The assembly of these bottles requires the use of an annex piece.
Le document FR-A-2 574 757 décrit une bouteille plastique modulaire caractérisée par l'assemblage de modules successifs, lesdits modules étant joints en un assemblage unique.Document FR-A-2,574,757 describes a bottle modular plastic characterized by the assembly of successive modules, said modules being joined in a single assembly.
L'assemblage de ces bouteilles est obtenu par vissage, il est exclusivement linéaire.The assembly of these bottles is obtained by screwing, it is exclusively linear.
Le document FR-A-2 276 236 décrit des emballages, récipients ou pots convertibles en éléments de jeu, caractérisés en ce qu'ils sont constitués par des parallélépipèdes creux, assemblables entre eux sur au moins trois faces, chaque assemblage étant obtenu par l'encastrement d'une saillie extérieure mâle, réalisée sur une face d'un parallélépipède, dans un creux femelle, tourné vers l'extérieur, réalisé sur une face d'un autre parallélépipède.Document FR-A-2 276 236 describes packages, containers or pots convertible into play elements, characterized in that they consist of hollow parallelepipeds, which can be assembled together on at least three sides, each assembly being obtained by the recessing of a male external projection, produced on one face of a parallelepiped, in a female hollow, turned outwards, produced on one face of another parallelepiped.
L'assemblage de ces récipients ne comporte pas de moyens de retenue des emballages entre eux.The assembly of these containers does not include means for retaining the packages between them.
Le document DE-A-2 115 693 décrit des récipients caractérisés en ce qu'un assemblage de deux ou plusieurs récipients est rendu possible par la présence sur leurs faces de reliefs et de cavités correspondantes .Document DE-A-2 115 693 describes containers characterized in that an assembly of two or more containers is made possible by the presence on their faces of reliefs and corresponding cavities.
L'assemblage de ces récipients ne comporte pas d'autres moyens de retenue des emballages entre eux que la friction des reliefs dans les cavités correspondantes.The assembly of these containers does not include other means of retaining the packages between them than the friction of the reliefs in the corresponding cavities.
Le but de l'invention est notamment de réaliser des ré¬ cipients dont la forme permette une juxtaposition et/ou une superposition sans perte de place et sans adjonc¬ tion d'un suremballage ou d'une enveloppe de groupage afin de rendre disponible une pluralité de contenances usuelles .The object of the invention is in particular to produce re¬ containers whose shape allows a juxtaposition and / or a superposition without loss of space and without the addition of an overpack or a grouping envelope in order to make available a plurality of capacities usual.
A cette fin, ces récipients sont constitués chacun par une cellule modulaire creuse comportant au moins un goulot et au moins une creusure servant de logement pour un goulot identique d'une autre cellule, chaque cellule modulaire étant connectable avec au moins une autre cellule modulaire, l'assemblage est maintenu par des moyens d ' encliquetage mis en action par l'encastrement d'un goulot d'une cellule dans une creusure de la cellule juxtaposée.To this end, these containers each consist of a hollow modular cell comprising at least one neck and at least one recess serving as a housing for an identical neck of another cell, each modular cell being connectable with at least one other modular cell, the assembly is maintained by means of latching put into action by the embedding of a neck of a cell in a recess of the juxtaposed cell.
Dans une forme de réalisation la cellule modulaire est spherique.In one embodiment the modular cell is spherical.
Dans une autre forme de réalisation, chaque cellule modulaire est un parallélépipède rectangle creux dont un côté au moins est pourvu d'un goulot circulaire concentrique au centre géométrique du côté qui supporte ce goulot. Au moins un autre côté du parallélépipède rectangle comporte une creusure circulaire concentrique au centre géométrique du côté qui est pourvu de la creusure. Le diamètre intérieur de la creusure est au moins égal au diamètre extérieur du goulot .In another embodiment, each modular cell is a hollow rectangular parallelepiped of which at least one side is provided with a concentric circular neck at the geometric center of the side which supports this neck. At least one other side of the rectangular parallelepiped has a circular recess concentric with the geometric center of the side which is provided with the recess. The inside diameter of the recess is at least equal to the outside diameter of the neck.
Dans une forme de réalisation préférentielle, les cel¬ lules modulaires sont cubiques, trois faces consécu¬ tives du cube sont pourvues chacune d'un goulot iden¬ tique, les trois autres faces consécutives étant pour¬ vues chacune d'une creusure identique, les dimensions extérieures des goulots correspondant aux dimensions intérieures des creusures.In a preferred embodiment, the modular cells are cubic, three consecutive sides of the cube are each provided with an identical neck, the three other consecutive faces each being for identical views, the external dimensions of the necks corresponding to the internal dimensions of the recesses.
Le principal avantage de ces récipients réside, dans le fait qu'en plaçant un goulot d'un des récipients dans une creusure d'un autre récipient identique, on double la capacité de produit emballé, le volume occupé par les récipients ainsi assemblés étant à peine supérieur au volume de produit logé dans ces récipients.The main advantage of these containers lies in the fact that by placing a neck of one of the containers in a recess of another identical container, the capacity of the packaged product is doubled, the volume occupied by the containers thus assembled being barely greater than the volume of product housed in these containers .

Le récipient représenté sur la figure 1 est un cube 1 creux comportant un goulot 2, 2' , 2" sur chacune des trois faces consécutives et une creusure 3, 3' , 3" sur chacune des trois autres faces. La hauteur (h) des goulots est égale à la profondeur (h" ) des creusures.The container shown in FIG. 1 is a hollow cube 1 comprising a neck 2, 2 ', 2 "on each of the three consecutive faces and a recess 3, 3', 3" on each of the other three faces. The height (h) of the necks is equal to the depth (h ") of the recesses.
Les goulots 2, 2' , 2" sont circulaires et concentriques au centre géométrique du côté qui supporte chaque goulot .The necks 2, 2 ', 2 "are circular and concentric with the geometric center of the side which supports each neck.
Les creusures 3, 3' , 3" sont également circulaires et concentriques au centre géométrique du côté qui supporte chaque creusure.The recesses 3, 3 ', 3 "are also circular and concentric with the geometric center of the side which supports each recess.
Le diamètre extérieur (d) des goulots 2, 2' , 2" cor¬ respond au diamètre intérieur (d" ) des creusures 3, 3" , 3", de façon que l'un quelconque des goulots 2, 2 ' , 2" puisse être placé dans l'une quelconque des creusures 3, 3" , 3" lors d'un groupage des récipients comme l'in¬ diquent les figures 2 et 4.The outside diameter (d) of the necks 2, 2 ', 2 "corresponds to the inside diameter (d") of the recesses 3, 3 ", 3", so that any of the necks 2, 2', 2 "can be placed in any of the recesses 3, 3", 3 "when grouping the containers as shown in Figures 2 and 4.
L'un quelconque des goulots 2, 2' , 2" et/ou l'une quelconque des creusures 3, 3' 3" peut servir d'orifice de remplissage, obturé par un moyen connu, bouchon, capsule etc. La fixation amovible d'au moins deux récipients juxtaposables comportant, pour l'un, au moins un goulot 2, 2' 2" et pour l'autre, au moins une creusure 3, 3' , 3" correspondante, est rendue efficace par des moyens d'en liquetage.Any of the necks 2, 2 ', 2 "and / or any of the recesses 3, 3'3" can serve as a filling orifice, closed by known means, plug, capsule etc. The removable attachment of at least two juxtaposable containers comprising, for one, at least one neck 2, 2 '2 "and for the other, at least one corresponding recess 3, 3', 3", is made effective by means of liquidation.
Les moyens d'encliquetage sont constitués par la présence sur le goulot 2, 2' , 2", alternativement dans la creusure 3, 3' 3", d'au moins une rainure circulaire 21 et par la présence dans la creusure, alternativement sur le goulot, d'au moins une nervure circulaire 30, la section et la position de la nervure correspondant à la section et à la position de la rainure.The latching means consist of the presence on the neck 2, 2 ', 2 ", alternately in the recess 3, 3' 3", of at least one circular groove 21 and by the presence in the recess, alternately on the the neck, of at least one circular rib 30, the section and the position of the rib corresponding to the section and the position of the groove.
La mise . en action de ces moyens d'encliquetage est obtenue en exerçant une légère pression pour rapprocher les récipients après avoir mis en place un goulot de l'un dans une creusure de l'autre.Setting . in action of these latching means is obtained by exerting a slight pressure to bring the containers closer after having set up a neck of one in a recess of the other.
Cet encliquetagae est réversible, la séparation de deux ou plusieurs récipients assemblés est facilitée par l'élasticité de la matière plastique utilisée pour fabriquer ces récipients.This snap is reversible, the separation of two or more assembled containers is facilitated by the elasticity of the plastic used to make these containers.
Dans la forme de réalisation représentée par la figure 1 , le goulot du milieu 2 comporte une fermeture par un couvercle 20 vissé.In the embodiment shown in Figure 1, the neck of the medium 2 has a closure with a screwed cover 20.
