Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of flexible tubes for dispensing a dough with at least one thread of a typically colored secondary dough.
  • FR-A-2622542 EP-A-0315554
  • the applicant has described a flexible tube for dispensing a paste with colored stripes arranged on the surface of the pasty bead.
  • the main paste passes through a central passage while the colored paste stored under the shoulder of the tube passes through small windows in this central passage and progresses towards the exit orifice by applying to the main pasty bead.
  • the main dough divides on either side of these transverse tubes and then re-forms into a flow surrounding said axial channel, the secondary dough emerging from this channel near the orifice of the neck.
  • the absence of means for compacting the main dough around the secondary dough is not favorable for obtaining a good quality cord.
  • the Applicant has sought to obtain a tube giving a bead of the same type, but of improved compactness having a central thread of secondary dough well calibrated.
  • the arrangement studied is interesting in several practical cases, especially when one wishes to mask or protect the substance of the secondary filament until the application of the pasty cord, or even when one then wants to ensure that there has been a sufficient work of the paste after application, this work, for example a massage, which should result in a homogenization of color of the dough thus worked.
  • a paste means here as well a thick cream. It was necessary to remain at room temperature for the desired solution.
  • the secondary paste stored between the tubular passages and the shoulder of the tube is usually chosen to have a viscosity close to that of the main paste and reduced miscibility with this paste.
  • the pressing of the tube by its skirt causes the progression of a part of the secondary paste by the intervals existing between the tubular portions, intervals which open out over the entire height of the stored secondary paste, until filling the central part of these intervals. arranged in a star and to expel secondary dough by the central opening, the only opening existing in the upper veil closing the top of these intervals.
  • the main pasty product is pushed upwards and, being initially located below the annular reserve of secondary dough, it is found that it rises easily and in a controlled manner through the tubular passages without disturbing the currents secondary paste circulating in the intervals between these passages.
  • the main dough streams are welded around the secondary dough stream above the veil closing the neck and defining with this neck and its upper end with a narrower orifice a relaxation and agglomeration chamber in which this welding takes place. It is important that the streams of main dough do not open into this relaxation chamber before the net or central filament of the second dough, the crown welding of the main dough then taking place before the application of this crown around said wire and central.
  • tubular passage portions of the main dough will be described in the Examples.
  • the neck relaxation and agglomeration chamber preferably has a cross section at least equal to 1.2 times the sum of the cross sections of the pasta passage portions, between the veil and at least 1 mm above the upper end of the central opening for the passage of the secondary paste. Above this relatively free portion for the flow of pasta, there is an annular constriction delimiting the dispensing orifice.
  • the lower ends of the tubular passage portions of the main dough must be at least 5 mm lower than the inside of the shoulder, when the tube has its orifice. distribution at the top.
  • the level of filling of secondary product being located at least 1 mm below the bottom of the shoulder, there is then a good separation of the main dough and the secondary dough from the start of the pressing of the tube, and we avoid that secondary dough does not pass through the tubular portions outside the main dough streams and therefore comes to dirty the outside of the pasty bead distributed.
  • the invention finally relates to the use of the tubes according to the invention for the distribution of an intimately brewing dough, the colored secondary dough or doughs serving as tracer (s) or as witness (s) of the importance or of the quality of brewing thanks to the gradual homogenization of the color.
  • Figure 1 shows a first tube with an inner part special snapped under the shoulder of the tube, in axial section.
  • Figure 2 is a diagram of the structure of the previous special part, seen from above.
  • Figure 3 shows a second tube with the same special part, also in axial section.
  • FIG. 4 represents a one-piece tube according to the invention, in axial section.
  • FIG. 5 shows a second special part, for obtaining a pasty bead comprising three central pasty filaments, seen from below.
  • the tube 1 of FIG. 1 has a head 2 made of high density polyethylene (PE.HD) overmolded on a metalloplastic skirt 3 with an outside diameter of 40 mm.
  • the underside of its shoulder 4 comprises a rib 5 for latching and retaining the special part 6.
  • This comprises a veil in the center in a star 7 (fig. 1 and 2), substantially conical, having at its aperture an opening 8, the upper end 80 of which protrudes by 1.5 mm from the surface of the web 7, this opening 8 of 1.5 mm diameter thus having 1.7 mm in height.
  • This veil 7 is connected to the upper ends 90 of three portions of tubes 9 to 11 longitudinal.
  • Each portion 9 has a cross section comprising two rectilinear sides 12 forming an angle of 120 ° and a circular base 13 of radius 5.5 mm, the exterior 13 of the 3 portions forming an incomplete circular cylinder centered on the axis of diameter 11 mm, with an inner wall extending the inside 31 of the neck 18.
  • These three portions 9, 10 and 11 are used for the direct passage of the main pasty product expelled by pressing the tube.
  • arrangements having up to seven tubular direct passage portions can be employed, preferably 3 or 5 portions.
  • the portions 9, 10 and 11 define between them under the veil 7 radial intervals 14 of width 3 mm (fig. 2) opening into the annular space 15 comprised between the special part 6 and the shoulder 4 over the entire height of the reserve of secondary pulp.
  • the path of the secondary pasty product from the storage space 15 to its outlet orifice 8 passing through the intervals 14 and their center 16 is easy.
  • the chamber 17 of the neck 18 and its narrower orifice 19 favor the tightening of the three streams of main pasty product around the central filament of secondary pasty product.
  • the chamber 17 of the neck 18 having a diameter of 10 mm up to 2 mm above the end 80 of the central opening 8, and the dispensing orifice 19 of the tube 1 being of diameter 5.5 mm, the main and secondary pasty products being respectively white and blue and having similar viscosities (30,000 cp).
  • the regularity of the structure of the bead obtained was checked during most of the distribution.
  • the tube 24 of FIG. 4 comprises a head 25 molded at once on the skirt 3, this head 25 comprising a central portion constituted by an upper veil 26 extending the shoulder 27 and by three longitudinal tubular portions such as 28 having the same geometry as that of the part 6 (fig. 1 and 2) and defining between them intervals 29 also of the same arrangement. These portions 28 each have two radial walls and a circular cylindrical wall 30 extending the interior 31 of the neck 32. To facilitate demolding, this interior 31 of the neck 32 is straight, which gives a less good compactness of pasty bead.
  • a first improvement consists in equipping the interior of this neck with a part 33 providing a chamber 34 and a narrower orifice 35 as in Example 1, this part 33 being shown diagrammatically in FIG. 4 in broken lines.
  • FIG. 5 shows a special piece 36 to be fixed under the shoulder of a tube as in Examples 1 and 2 ( Figures 1 and 3) and making it possible to obtain three central pasty filaments in a pasty bead.
  • the essential principle of the invention namely the expulsion of the main dough by several off-center direct passages and the forced routing of a secondary pasty product between the annular space which contains it and a central opening under the cover of a upper veil which isolates it from the preceding direct passages, is adapted in the following way: each radial interval 37 corresponds to an annular sector of storage 38 of a particular colored product, the sectors 38 and 39 of each group of two different colored products being separated by partitions 40 going from a direct passage 41 to the periphery of the web 42, in contact with the shoulder of the tube after attachment of the part 36.
  • the three radial intervals 37 are isolated from each other by a sealed star partition 44 fixed to the internal edges of the direct passages such as 41 and to the upper web 42.
  • This web 42 carries near its center three outlet openings such as 43, each opening 43 allowing the expulsion of a secondary product reaching the corresponding radial interval 37.
  • This special piece 36 produces a pasty bead of a main product containing three secondary pasty fillets of different colors, these colors such as green, red and blue remaining distinct in the bead despite their proximity.
  • the special parts or the one-piece heads of the invention are made of plastic, preferably a fairly rigid plastic such as PE.HD or PP (polypropylene).
  • PE.HD polyethylene
  • PP polypropylene
  • the invention thus typically relates to the protection of a central pasty product or the highlighting of work relating to the pasty bead.
  • the tube of the invention is used for the packaging of pasty products from the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, paramedical, hygienic and food fields.
