Description

La présente invention concerne l'industrie du conditionnement, et plus particulièrement les pots en matière plastique moulée, à couvercle attenant, pour la commercialisation de produits divers, notamment cos­métiques, pharmaceutiques et d'entretien, aussi bien qu'alimentaires et industriels, tels que crèmes, pâtes, gels, poudres, onguents, émulsions plus ou moins flui­des, laits, produits alimentaires, peintures.The present invention relates to the packaging industry, and more particularly the molded plastic pots, with attached lid, for the marketing of various products, in particular cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and maintenance, as well as food and industrial products, such as creams, pastes, gels, powders, ointments, more or less fluid emulsions, milks, food products, paints.

Pour la commercialisation de tels produits, surtout au grand public, on recherche une présentation aussi attractive et singularisée que possible pour le meilleur prix. S'il s'agit de produits de grande série on crée des emballages spécifiques à chaque produit, mais dans le cas de séries relativement limitées, ce qui est le cas de la plupart des produits cosmétiques, pharmaceutiques, d'entretien ou alimentaires, on a re­cours le plus souvent à des emballages standardisés, différenciés par un étiquetage spécifique pour chaque produit, ou catégorie de produit d'une même ligne. Ce­pendant cette standardisation crée une uniformité de présentation peu attractive.For the marketing of such products, especially to the general public, we are looking for a presentation as attractive and unique as possible for the best price. In the case of mass-produced products, we create specific packaging for each product, but in the case of relatively limited series, which is the case for most cosmetic, pharmaceutical, maintenance or food products, we most often uses standardized packaging, differentiated by specific labeling for each product, or product category of the same line. However, this standardization creates an unattractive uniformity of presentation.

L'invention a pour but un pot de conditionne­ment peu coûteux réalisable par assemblage d'un nombre minime d'éléments dont une partie peut être standardi­sée et produite en grande série, et dont une partie, spécifique, permet de donner un aspect original, per­sonnalisé pour chaque produit, palliant ainsi les in­convénients précités des pots classiques.The object of the invention is an inexpensive packaging pot which can be produced by assembling a minimal number of elements, part of which can be standardized and produced in large series, and part of which, specific, gives an original, personalized look to each product, thus overcoming the aforementioned drawbacks of conventional pots.

L'invention a pour objet un pot de condition­nement pour la commercialisation de produits divers comprenant un récipient logé à l'intérieur d'un corps de boîtier coiffé d'un couvercle de boîtier pivotant autour d'une articulation horizontale, avec une ferme­ture à encliquètement élastique effaçable manuellement par action sur un ergot faisant saillie extérieurement ; pot caractérisé en ce que le récipient est enserré dans une bague d'une seule pièce comprenant un anneau infé­rieur solidaire du récipient et un anneau supérieur pi­votant relié à l'anneau inférieur par une patte d'arti­culation souple, les deux anneaux comportant respecti­vement des organes complémentaires d'encliquetage, le sommet du corps de boîtier étant assujetti autour de l'anneau inférieur, et la base du couvercle de boîtier étant assujettie autour de l'anneau supérieur.The subject of the invention is a packaging pot for the marketing of various products comprising a container housed inside a casing body capped with a casing cover pivoting around a horizontal articulation, with a snap closure. elastic erasable manually by action on a lug projecting externally; pot characterized in that the container is enclosed in a one-piece ring comprising a lower ring secured to the container and a pivoting upper ring connected to the lower ring by a flexible hinge tab, the two rings respectively comprising members complementary latching, the top of the housing body being secured around the lower ring, and the base of the housing cover being secured around the upper ring.

Suivant un mode de réalisation avantageux, les organes d'encliquetage réciproque des deux anneaux com­prennent une patte élastiquement repoussable manuelle­ment vers l'intérieur du pot, issue de l'un des anneaux et terminée par un crochet dirigé vers l'extérieur au voisinage d'un prolongement extérieur constituant un poussoir de libération d'encliquetage faisant saillie à l'extérieur du pot entre le corps et le couvercle de boîtier, tandis qu'un crochet antagoniste dirigé vers l'intérieur est issu de l'autre anneau.According to an advantageous embodiment, the reciprocal snap-fastening members of the two rings comprise a tab which is elastically manually pushable towards the inside of the pot, coming from one of the rings and terminated by a hook directed towards the outside in the vicinity of an external extension constituting a ratchet release push-button projecting outside the pot between the body and the housing cover, while an antagonist hook directed inwards comes from the other ring.

Afin d'en rendre l'ouverture accidentelle pra­tiquement inaccessible aux jeunes enfants, un tel pot peut comprendre deux dispositifs d'encliquetage symé­triques diamétralement opposés de part et d'autre de la patte d'articulation. Ainsi, il est nécessaire d'effacer simultanément les deux fermetures à enclique­ tage pour libérer le couvercle et ouvrir le pot.In order to make the accidental opening of it practically inaccessible to young children, such a pot can include two symmetrical snap-fastening devices diametrically opposed on either side of the articulation tab. Thus, it is necessary to simultaneously erase the two snap closures to release the lid and open the jar.

Pour une fabrication industrielle à moindre coût, un pot suivant l'invention comprend un ensemble standard récipient-bague assemblés et des éléments de boîtier interchangeables, corps et couvercle, adapta­bles respectivement sur les anneaux supérieur et infé­rieur de la bague.For industrial production at lower cost, a pot according to the invention comprises a standard assembly of assembled receptacle-ring and interchangeable housing elements, body and cover, adaptable respectively to the upper and lower rings of the ring.

Dans un mode de réalisation simplifié un pot suivant l'invention peut être réalisé en seulement trois éléments, le récipient et la bague formant une seule pièce venue de moulage, sur laquelle viennent s'adapter un corps et un couvercle de boîtier.In a simplified embodiment, a pot according to the invention can be produced in only three elements, the container and the ring forming a single piece coming from molding, on which a body and a housing cover are fitted.

Afin d'assurer une bonne étanchéité au réci­pient pendant toute la durée d'utilisation du pot, on peut lui adjoindre une coiffe emboîtant extérieurement le col du récipient et solidaire de l'anneau supérieur de la bague.In order to ensure good sealing of the container during the entire period of use of the jar, one can add to it a cap which externally fits the neck of the container and is integral with the upper ring of the ring.

Pour assurer une parfaite étanchéité jusqu'à la première utilisation, on peut adjoindre un opercule d'étanchéité amovible, encliqueté élastiquement dans une gorge annulaire creusée à l'intérieur du sommet du col du récipient et présentant, sur sa face supérieure externe, une patte de préhension manuelle en saillie.To ensure a perfect seal until the first use, one can add a removable sealing cap, snapped elastically into an annular groove dug inside the top of the neck of the container and having, on its upper external face, a tab manual gripping surface.

Suivant un mode de réalisation pratique, l'oper­cule est en forme de cuvette, la patte de préhension étant entièrement contenue dans le creux et mise hors d'atteinte jusqu'à la première utilisation, par une pellicule de garantie déchirable scellée sur le bord extérieur du pourtour de l'opercule.According to a practical embodiment, the cover is in the form of a bowl, the gripping tab being entirely contained in the hollow and put out of reach until the first use, by a tear-resistant guarantee film sealed on the outer edge. around the lid.

Afin d'apporter aux clients un témoin d'invio­labilité, une pellicule de garantie, déchirable à la première ouverture du pot peut être aussi scellée, marginalement sur la tranche du col du récipient, ainsi qu'éventuellement sur la périphérie de l'opercule.In order to provide customers with a tamper-evident witness, a guarantee film, tearable at the first opening of the jar can also be sealed, marginally on the edge of the neck of the container, as well as possibly on the periphery of the lid.

L'invention pourra plus aisément être comprise à la lecture de la description détaillée et à l'examen des dessins annexés qui représentent un mode de réalisa­tion de l'invention, choisi simplement à titre d'exem­ple parmi les nombreuses formes d'exécution, adaptations et variantes de l'invention accessibles à un technicien averti.The invention will more easily be understood on reading the detailed description and on examining the appended drawings which represent an embodiment of the invention, chosen simply by way of example from the numerous embodiments, adaptations and variants of the invention accessible to an informed technician.

Sur ces figures, les éléments correspondants sont désignés par les mêmes références numériques. Les dimensions et les proportions respectives de ces éléments peuvent ne pas être respectées afin de rendre les dessins plus lisibles.In these figures, the corresponding elements are designated by the same reference numerals. The respective dimensions and proportions of these elements may not be respected in order to make the drawings more legible.

Le pot de conditionnement représenté sur ces figures com­prend essentiellement un récipient 1 moulé d'une seule pièce avec une bague 7 l'entourant et comprenant deux anneaux coaxiaux en forme de jupes verticales = un anneau inférieur 8 issu de la paroi latérale extérieure du récipient 1 en prolongement d'une collerette horizontale 20, et un anneau supérieur 9 relié à l'anneau inférieur 8 par une patte d'articulation sou­ple 4. Un corps de boîtier 2 est encliqueté à son som­met ouvert autour de l'anneau inférieur 8 cependant qu'un couvercle de boîtier 3 est encliqueté à sa base ouverte autour de l'anneau supérieur 9.The packaging jar represented in these figures essentially comprises a container 1 molded in one piece with a ring 7 surrounding it and comprising two coaxial rings in the form of vertical skirts = a lower ring 8 coming from the external lateral wall of the container 1 in extension of a horizontal flange 20, and an upper ring 9 connected to the lower ring 8 by a flexible articulation tab 4. A housing body 2 is snapped at its open top around the lower ring 8 however that a housing cover 3 is snapped at its open base around the 'upper ring 9.

A l'opposé de la patte d'articulation 4, l'an­neau supérieur 9 présente un prolongement en forme de crochet 5a, dirigé vers l'extérieur et décalé vers l'intérieur, qui empiète sur l'anneau inférieur 8 lors­que les deux anneaux 8, 9 sont rabattus l'un sur l'au­tre, pour coopérer avec un crochet 5b dirigé vers l'in­térieur, issu de l'anneau inférieur 8, afin de consti­tuer une fermeture à encliquètement. Un ergot 6 issu de l'anneau supérieur 9 au-dessus du crochet 5a, et faisant saillie à l'extérieur de la bague constitue un poussoir manuel permettant de libérer à volonté la fer­meture encliquetée, par déformation élastique de l'an­neau supérieur 9 au voisinage du crochet 5a.Opposite the hinge tab 4, the upper ring 9 has a hook-shaped extension 5a, directed outwards and offset inwards, which encroaches on the lower ring 8 when the two rings 8, 9 are folded over one another, to cooperate with a hook 5b directed inwards, coming from the lower ring 8, in order to constitute a snap closure. A lug 6 coming from the upper ring 9 above the hook 5a, and projecting outside the ring constitutes a manual pusher making it possible to release the latched closure at will, by elastic deformation of the upper ring 9 at neighborhood of hook 5a.

Le corps de boîtier 2 et le couvercle de boî­tier 3 sont encliquetés respectivement dans les anneaux inférieur 8 et supérieur 9 de la bague 7 par des assem­blages classiques à rainure et nervure coordonnées 15, 16 respectivement (figure 2) sauf en regard de la patte d'articulation 4 et de la fermeture 5a, 5b afin de laisser la liberté de déformation des anneaux 8, 9 né­cessaire à un bon fonctionnement. Des épaulements de butée 17, 18, respectivement, assurent un bon position­nement axial du corps de boîtier 2 et du couvercle de boîtier 3, respectivement.The housing body 2 and the housing cover 3 are snapped into the lower 8 and upper 9 rings respectively of the ring 7 by conventional coordinated groove and rib assemblies 15, 16 respectively (Figure 2) except opposite the tab d hinge 4 and closure 5a, 5b in order to leave the freedom of deformation of the rings 8, 9 necessary for proper operation. Stop shoulders 17, 18, respectively, ensure good axial positioning of the housing body 2 and the housing cover 3, respectively.

Un amincissement 28, 29 et 30, 31 respective­ment de la paroi du corps 2 et du couvercle 3 au voisi­nage de la patte d'articulation 4 et de la fermeture 5a, 5b dégage ces parties, pour un meilleur fonctionnement de l'articulation et un accès plus facile à l'ergot 6 pour l'ouverture du pot. L'extrémité de l'ergot 6 ne dépasse ainsi pas l'enveloppe extérieure du pot et est protégée contre des heurts accidentels, tout en facili­tant l'emballage du pot.Thinning 28, 29 and 30, 31 respectively of the wall of the body 2 and of the cover 3 in the vicinity of the articulation tab 4 and of the closure 5a, 5b releases these parts, for a better functioning of the articulation and a easier access to lug 6 for opening the pot. The end of lug 6 does not thus not exceed the outer envelope of the pot and is protected against accidental knocks, while facilitating the packaging of the pot.

Un bon centrage de l'anneau supérieur 9 sur l'anneau inférieur 8 et par suite du couvercle 3 sur le corps 2 en position repliée l'un sur l'autre est assuré par la coopération de deux parties coniques 19 complémentaires des extrémités latérales des anneaux 8 et 9 venant respectivement en contact en position repliée.Proper centering of the upper ring 9 on the lower ring 8 and consequently of the cover 3 on the body 2 in the folded position one on the other is ensured by the cooperation of two conical parts 19 complementary to the lateral ends of the rings 8 and 9 respectively coming into contact in the folded position.

L'anneau supérieur 9 est prolongé à son extré­mité extérieure par un rebord intérieur annulaire 21 cranté dont les parties en retrait sont prolongées par des crochets 22 dirigés vers l'intérieur. Cette dispo­sition permet la mise en place et le maintien par en­cliquetage du fond plat débordant 24 d'une coiffe 11 en forme de cuvette plate dont la paroi latérale annu­laire 23 vient emboîter extérieurement le col du réci­pient 1 pour assurer l'étanchéité, couvercle rabattu, au cours de l'utilisation du pot. Le couvercle du boî­tier 3 présente intérieurement un rebord annulaire 25 coaxial dont le bord libre vient en appui contre le fond de la coiffe 11 au voisinage des crochets 22 et de la paroi 23 de la coiffe 11, ce qui assure une solidarisation très efficace de la coiffe 11 avec l'anneau supérieur 9 et le couvercle de boîtier 3 au cours des manipulations répétées d'ouverture et de fermeture du pot.The upper ring 9 is extended at its outer end by a notched inner annular rim 21, the recessed parts of which are extended by hooks 22 directed inwards. This arrangement allows the snap-on flat bottom 24 to be fitted in place and held in place by a cover 11 in the form of a flat bowl, the annular side wall 23 of which externally fits the neck of the container 1 to ensure the seal, lid folded down, during the use of the pot. The cover of the housing 3 has internally an annular rim 25 coaxial, the free edge of which abuts against the bottom of the cap 11 in the vicinity of the hooks 22 and of the wall 23 of the cap 11, which ensures a very effective joining of the cap 11 with the upper ring 9 and the housing cover 3 during the repeated manipulations of opening and closing the jar.

Le bord intérieur du récipient 1 est creusé d'un épaulement 26 qui sert d'appui au bord périphé­rique d' un opercule 12 en forme de cuvette plate dont une nervure débordant extérieurement le fond vient s'encliqueter dans une gorge 27 correspondante creusée dans la paroi latérale marginale du récipient 1. Une patte de préhension 13 issue de la face interne du fond de l'opercule 12 facilite son arrachement pour la première utilisation. Cet opercule 12 assure une complète étanchéité pendant toute la durée de stockage du pot. La patte 13 ne dépasse pas le bord supérieur de la cu­vette de l'opercule 12, ce qui permet la mise en place d'une pellicule de garantie 14 thermosoudée, ou collée sur la tranche du rebord du pourtour de l'opercule 12. Pour avoir accès à la patte 13 et arracher l'opercule 12, le premier utilisateur doit déchirer la pellicule 14, laissant ainsi une trace indélébile d'effraction garantissant le client contre une ouverture frauduleu­se antérieure du pot.The inner edge of the container 1 is hollowed out by a shoulder 26 which serves as a support for the peripheral edge of a cover 12 in the form of a flat bowl, of which a rib projecting outwardly from the bottom engages in a corresponding groove 27 hollowed out in the marginal side wall of the container 1. A gripping tab 13 coming from the internal face of the bottom of the cover 12 facilitates its tearing off for the first use. This cover 12 provides a complete seal during the entire storage life of the pot. The tab 13 does not exceed the upper edge of the bowl of the cover 12, which allows the establishment of a guarantee film 14 heat sealed, or glued to the edge of the rim of the periphery of the cover 12. For have access to the tab 13 and tear off the cover 12, the first user must tear the film 14, thus leaving an indelible mark of break-in guaranteeing the customer against an earlier fraudulent opening of the pot.

La figure 6 représente une variante de fermeture par encliquetage. Dans cette variante, un crochet 50a rigide est issu de l'anneau, supérieur 9 et vient s'en­cliqueter dans une découpe rectangulaire 50b de l'extré­mité interne 50b d'un poussoir 60 horizontal relié à l'anneau inférieur 8 par une languette flexible verticale 110 délimitée par deux fentes parallèles 111,112 de l'anneau inférieur 8. Dans cette variante, le poussoir d'ouverture du boîtier est ainsi solidaire du corps de boîtier, au lieu du couvercle comme dans l'exemple des figures 1 à 5.Figure 6 shows a variant of snap closure. In this variant, a rigid hook 50a comes from the upper ring 9 and snaps into a rectangular cut 50b from the internal end 50b of a horizontal pusher 60 connected to the lower ring 8 by a flexible tongue vertical 110 delimited by two parallel slots 111, 112 of the lower ring 8. In this variant, the opening button of the case is thus secured to the case body, instead of the cover as in the example of FIGS. 1 to 5.

Dans l'exemple décrit et représenté, le récipient 1 et la bague 7 sont moulés en une seule pièce, mais il est concevable de réaliser le récipient et la bague séparément, et de les assembler ensuite suivant une technique connue telle que collage ou soudure par ultra­sons, bien que cela nécessite une opération supplémen­taire.In the example described and shown, the container 1 and the ring 7 are molded in one piece, but it is conceivable to produce the container and the ring separately, and then to assemble them according to a known technique such as bonding or welding by ultrasound, although this requires an additional operation.

Par ailleurs, la coiffe 11 peut être solidarisée du couvercle de boîtier 3, par encliquetage, collage, soudage ou autre technique connue, au lieu d'être encli­quetée dans l'anneau supérieur 9, comme décrit et repré­senté. On peut encore envisager de réaliser par moulage en une seule pièce le couvercle 3 et la coiffe 11. Tou­tefois il paraît généralement souhaitable de réaliser la coiffe 11 par moulage en un matériau plus souple que la bague 7, le récipient 1, et/ou le couvercle 3. Un matériau souple, tel que le polyéthylène, permet de meilleurs emboîtements répétés, donc une meilleure étanchéité, qu'un matériau relativement dur, tel que le polypropylène qui a, par contre, un aspect plus sédui­sant et une plus grande rigidité qui conviennent mieux à la présentation, la décoration, et la consistance que l'on attend commercialement d'un pot de bonne qualité et de bon aspect.Furthermore, the cap 11 can be secured to the housing cover 3, by snap-fastening, gluing, welding or other known technique, instead of being snapped into the upper ring 9, as described and shown. We can also consider making by molding in one piece the cover 3 and the cover 11. However, it generally seems desirable to produce the cover 11 by molding in a more flexible material than the ring 7, the container 1, and / or the cover 3. A flexible material, such than polyethylene, allows better repeated interlocking, therefore better sealing, than a relatively hard material, such as polypropylene which, on the other hand, has a more attractive appearance and greater rigidity which are better suited to presentation, decoration. , and the consistency that is commercially expected from a pot of good quality and good appearance.

D'autre part la pellicule de garantie 14 peut être aussi bien scellée sur la tranche du col du récipient 1 au lieu de l'opercule 12. Pour cela, il est préférable que l'épaulement 26 du bord intérieur du récipient 1 soit suffisamment creux pour que la tranche du col du récipient dépasse la tranche du rebord du pourtour de l'opercule 12. Lorsque celui-ci est encliqueté dans la rainure 27, si les deux tranches du col du récipient et de l'opercule enclique­té sont de même niveau, on peut aussi bien sceller la pel­licule de garantie 14 sur les deux tranches simultanément.On the other hand the guarantee film 14 can also be sealed on the edge of the neck of the container 1 instead of the cover 12. For this, it is preferable that the shoulder 26 of the inner edge of the container 1 is sufficiently hollow so that the edge of the neck of the container exceeds the edge of the rim of the periphery of the cover 12. When the latter is snapped into the groove 27, if the two edges of the neck of the container and the snapped cover are of the same level , it is also possible to seal the guarantee film 14 on the two sections simultaneously.

Bien évidemment, les formes du récipient 1 et du boîtier 2,3 ne sont pas nécessairement homothétiques, la liaison récipient-boîtier par la bague 7 permet des adap­tations très diverses, par exemple entre un récipient cylindrique de révolution et un boîtier polygonal, ou ovale, ou autre.Obviously, the shapes of the container 1 and of the housing 2,3 are not necessarily homothetic, the container-housing connection by the ring 7 allows very diverse adaptations, for example between a cylindrical container of revolution and a polygonal or oval housing. , Or other.
