Description

L'invention est relative à un distributeur de produit, liquide à pâteux, du genre de ceux qui comprennent un récipient contenant le produit, solidaire d'une enveloppe extérieure rigide munie, en partie haute, d'une embase sur laquelle est fixée une pompe manuelle surmontée d'un bouton-poussoir.The invention relates to a product dispenser, liquid to pasty, of the type which includes a container containing the product, secured to a rigid outer casing provided, in the upper part, with a base on which is fixed a pump. manual with a push button.

Généralement, les pompes manuelles sont serties sur un col qui est placé à la partie supérieure de l'embase constituant le haut du récipient. Chaque pompe est habituellement livrée avec une capsule métallique de sertissage qui est elle-même fixée à la pompe par sertissage. La fixation de la capsule métallique de sertissage sur le col porté par l'embase nécessite un espace libre pour réaliser le sertissage.Generally, the manual pumps are crimped on a neck which is placed at the upper part of the base constituting the top of the container. Each pump is usually delivered with a metal crimp cap which is itself attached to the pump by crimping. The fixing of the metal crimping capsule to the neck carried by the base requires a free space to carry out the crimping.

Il en résulte que, par rapport à la partie supérieure de l'embase, la capsule de sertissage se trouve sensiblement surélevée, ce qui est désagréable sur le plan esthétique car la pompe est elle-même surmontée du bouton-poussoir de sorte que l'ensemble forme une saillie haut perchée au-dessus du niveau supérieur de l'embase.It follows that, relative to the upper part of the base, the crimping capsule is substantially raised, which is unpleasant from an aesthetic point of view because the pump is itself surmounted by the push button so that the together forms a high projection perched above the upper level of the base.

En outre, la course de manoeuvre d'une pompe est d'autant plus importante que le volume distribué à chaque pression sur la pompe est plus grand. Il en résulte que, pour des pompes destinées à distribuer des doses importantes, le bouton-poussoir sera perché encore plus haut au-dessus du niveau de la capsule de sertissage pour permettre l'enfoncement sur une grande course. La prise en main du récipient s'effectuant au niveau de l'enveloppe, la longueur du doigt de l'utilisateur destiné à venir appuyer au-dessus du bouton-poussoir risque d'être insuffisante pour permettre une manoeuvre aisée du distributeur.In addition, the operating stroke of a pump is greater the greater the volume distributed at each press on the pump. As a result, for pumps intended to dispense large doses, the push-button will be perched even higher above the level of the crimping capsule to allow penetration over a large stroke. The handling of the container being carried out at the level of the envelope, the length of the finger of the user intended to come to press above the push-button may be insufficient to allow easy operation of the dispenser.

Pour remédier à ce problème, on a proposé dans EP-A 0282 595 et EP-A 0340 724 de munir le distributeur de produit d'une embase en forme de cuvette engagée dans le récipient, cuvette sur le fond de laquelle est fixée la pompe, ce qui permet à la pompe d'être en partie disposée au-dessous du niveau supérieur du récipient. Dans ces deux documents la pompe est fixée directement sur le fond de la cuvette. Dans ces conditions le montage de la pompe sur l'embase est souvent difficile, car il se fait au fond d'une cuvette et il n'y a pas assez de place pour introduire les différents outils nécessaires.To remedy this problem, it has been proposed in EP-A 0282 595 and EP-A 0340 724 to provide the product distributor with a base in the form of a bowl engaged in the container, a bowl on the bottom of which the pump is fixed, which allows the pump to be partly arranged below the upper level of the container. In these two documents the pump is fixed directly to the bottom of the bowl. Under these conditions, the mounting of the pump on the base is often difficult, because it is done at the bottom of a bowl and there is not enough room to introduce the various necessary tools.

La présente invention remédie à ces inconvénients en fixant d'abord la pompe sur une pièce de transfert ou manchon intermédiaire en dehors de l'embase et en fixant ensuite l'ensemble pompe-pièce de transfert sur le fond de l'embase, la pièce de transfert étant une pièce n'appartenant pas à la pompe.The present invention overcomes these drawbacks by first fixing the pump on a transfer piece or intermediate sleeve outside the base and then fixing the pump-transfer part assembly on the bottom of the base, the part transfer being a part not belonging to the pump.

La présente invention a donc pour objet un distributeur de produit liquide à pâteux comprenant un récipient, contenant le produit, avec une enveloppe extérieure rigide munie en partie haute d'une embase sur laquelle est fixée une pompe manuelle, composée d'un corps de pompe fixe et d'une partie mobile associée à un bouton-poussoir, l' embase ayant la forme d'une cuvette engagée dans le récipient et tournant sa concavité du côté opposé au récipient et la pompe étant portée par le fond de la cuvette, la profondeur de la cuvette étant sensiblement égale à la longueur du corps de pompe, caractérisé par le fait que le fond de la cuvette est muni d'une pièce de transfert dans laquelle est engagé le corps de pompe, le corps de pompe étant fixé sur la pièce de transfert au niveau ou au-dessous du niveau supérieur de l'embase, la pièce de transfert étant une pièce amovible rapportée en saillie sur le fond de l'embase.The present invention therefore relates to a dispenser of liquid to pasty product comprising a container, containing the product, with a rigid outer casing provided in the upper part with a base on which is fixed a manual pump, composed of a pump body. fixed and a movable part associated with a push button, the base having the shape of a bowl engaged in the container and turning its concavity on the side opposite to the container and the pump being carried by the bottom of the bowl, the depth of the bowl being substantially equal to the length of the pump body, characterized in that the bottom of the bowl is provided with a transfer part in which the pump body is engaged, the pump body being fixed on the transfer part at or below the upper level of the base, the transfer part being a removable part attached to the bottom of the base.

Du fait que la pompe est fixée sur une pièce de transfert qui sert d'intermédiaire pour la fixation de la pompe, il est possible de fixer sans problème le corps de pompe au niveau du bord de la cuvette, et même au-dessous de celui-ci.Due to the fact that the pump is fixed on a transfer piece which acts as an intermediary for fixing the pump, it is possible to fix the pump body without problems at the edge of the bowl, and even below that -this.

De plus la pièce de transfert permet en quelque sorte d'adapter la pompe à l'embase et, par conséquent, d'utiliser des pompes de différentes tailles sur une même embase, ou des embases de formes différentes pour une même taille de pompe. Il suffit de modifier la forme et/ou les dimensions de la pièce de transfert.In addition, the transfer piece makes it possible to adapt the pump to the base in a way, and therefore to use pumps of different sizes on the same base, or bases of different shapes for the same pump size. Just change the shape and / or dimensions of the transfer piece.

Par ailleurs, grâce à la pièce de transfert il est possible de remplir complètement par le haut le récipient sans qu'il se forme une poche d'air en haut du récipient, poche d'air qui a pour inconvénient d'empêcher l'amorçage des pompes sans reprise d'air. En effet, on peut remplir le récipient par l'ouverture ménagée dans l'embase pour le passage du corps de pompe et lorsqu'on introduit l'ensemble pièce de transfert-pompe, l'air peut s'échapper jusqu'au moment où il y a fixation de la pièce de transfert sur l'embase.Furthermore, thanks to the transfer piece it is possible to completely fill the container from above without an air pocket forming at the top of the container, an air pocket which has the disadvantage of preventing priming. pumps without return air. Indeed, the container can be filled through the opening in the base for the passage of the pump body and when the transfer-pump part assembly is introduced, the air can escape until the moment when there is fixing of the transfer piece on the base.

Par ailleurs, grâce à l'utilisation de la pièce de transfert amovible, on peut préparer des recharges constituées par le récipient et l'embase sur lesquelles on fixe au moment de l'utilisation la pièce de transfert contenant la pompe, et le bouton-poussoir.Furthermore, thanks to the use of the removable transfer piece, it is possible to prepare refills constituted by the container and the base on which the transfer piece containing the pump and the button is fixed at the time of use. pusher.

Le manchon peut être rapporté sur le fond de la cuvette, en particulier par encliquetage à sa base, dans un fourreau ménagé dans la zone centrale du fond de la cuvette.The sleeve can be attached to the bottom of the bowl, in particular by snap-fastening at its base, in a sheath formed in the central zone of the bottom of the bowl.

La pompe peut être clipsée ou, de préférence, sertie sur la pièce de transfert. Dans le cas d'une pompe standard munie d'une capsule métallique de sertissage dont la bordure libre est rabattue vers le bas, la pièce de transfert est cylindrique à section circulaire et comporte, sur sa partie haute, une collerette pour le sertissage de la capsule. Dans le cas d'une pompe standard dont le bord libre est relevé vers le haut, la pièce de transfert comporte, en partie haute, une paroi annulaire transversale radiale munie sur son pourtour extérieur, d'un bord cylindrique parallèle à l'axe du manchon et tourné vers le haut, pour le sertissage de la capsule.The pump can be clipped or, preferably, crimped onto the transfer piece. In the case of a standard pump fitted with a capsule metal crimping whose free edge is folded down, the transfer piece is cylindrical with circular section and has, on its upper part, a flange for crimping the capsule. In the case of a standard pump whose free edge is raised upwards, the transfer part comprises, in the upper part, a radial transverse annular wall provided on its outer periphery, with a cylindrical edge parallel to the axis of the sleeve and turned upwards, for crimping the capsule.

La surface inférieure du corps de pompe est de préférence voisine de la surface inférieure du fond de l'embase.The lower surface of the pump body is preferably close to the lower surface of the bottom of the base.

Le récipient peut être constitué par une poche souple, déformable, et l'enveloppe rigide est distincte du récipient, une entrée d'air étant prévue dans ladite enveloppe.The container may consist of a flexible, deformable pocket, and the rigid envelope is separate from the container, an air inlet being provided in said envelope.

Selon une autre possibilité, la paroi du récipient est rigide et constitue ladite enveloppe extérieure rigide, le récipient comportant, à l'intérieur, un piston suiveur soumis, sur sa face opposée au produit, à la pression atmosphérique.According to another possibility, the wall of the container is rigid and constitutes said rigid external envelope, the container comprising, inside, a follower piston subjected, on its face opposite to the product, to atmospheric pressure.

L'embase peut être d'une seule pièce avec le récipient, tandis que le fond de ce récipient est rapporté, en particulier par encliquetage ou vissage, sur ledit récipient.The base can be in one piece with the container, while the bottom of this container is attached, in particular by snap-fastening or screwing, on said container.

Dans le cas où le récipient est constitué par une poche souple, le fond de la cuvette comporte, avantageusement, au moins un organe anti-prisonnier s'étendant dans le récipient. L'organe anti-prisonnier peut être encliqueté, ou former partie intégrante avec le fond de la cuvette, notamment en venant de moulage avec ce fond. Cet organe anti-prisonnier peut être constitué par un tube ajouré ou par un ensemble de plusieurs ailettes réparties autour de l'axe du récipient, la bordure de chaque ailette voisine de l'axe comportant un évidement de façon à laisser un passage pour le produit dans la zone centrale comprise entre les ailettes.In the case where the container is constituted by a flexible pocket, the bottom of the bowl advantageously comprises at least one anti-prisoner member extending in the container. The anti-prisoner member can be snapped on, or form an integral part with the bottom of the bowl, in particular by molding with this bottom. This anti-prisoner member can be constituted by an openwork tube or by a set of several fins distributed around the axis of the container, the edge of each fin adjacent to the axis comprising a recess so as to leave a passage for the product in the central zone comprised between the fins.

D'autres organes anti-prisonniers utilisables dans le cadre de la présente invention sont décrits dans la demande de brevet français n° 90 02500 déposée le 28 février 1990.Other anti-prisoner organs that can be used in the context of the present invention are described in French patent application No. 90,02500 filed on February 28, 1990.

Lorsque l'organe anti-prisonnier est formé par un tube ajouré, ce dernier peut être d'une seule pièce avec la pièce de transfert, qu'il prolonge dans le récipient.When the anti-prisoner member is formed by a perforated tube, the latter may be in one piece with the transfer part, which it extends into the container.

La pompe utilisée est choisie en fonction du débit souhaité. On peut choisir les pompes parmi l'ensemble de celles comportant un système à piston, à membrane ou à clapet.The pump used is chosen according to the desired flow. The pumps can be chosen from all of those comprising a piston, diaphragm or valve system.

La section transversale de l'embase peut avoir des formes variables autres que circulaires, notamment une forme ovale ou en barquette.The cross section of the base can have variable shapes other than circular, in particular an oval or tray shape.

Lorsque l'ensemble récipient-embase constitue une recharge sur laquelle est fixé ultérieurement un ensemble pompe-manchon récupérable, l'embase est fermée au cours du stockage de préférence à l'aide d'un opercule. Selon un premier mode de réalisation cet opercule comporte des zones de plus faible épaisseur et peut être déchiré par l'extrémité du corps de pompe lors de sa fixation sur l'embase. Selon un second mode de réalisation le bord inférieur du corps de pompe porte des couteaux permettant de découper l'opercule. L'opercule peut être collé ou venir de moulage avec l'embase.When the container-base assembly constitutes a refill to which a recoverable pump-sleeve assembly is subsequently fixed, the base is closed during storage, preferably with the aid of a cover. According to a first embodiment, this cover comprises zones of reduced thickness and can be torn by the end of the pump body when it is fixed to the base. According to a second embodiment, the lower edge of the pump body carries knives making it possible to cut the cover. The lid can be glued or molded with the base.

Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, à l'intérieur de la pièce de transfert, est disposé un réceptacle contenant un additif, ce réceptacle comportant des ouvertures de façon à ce que, lors de la distribution du produit à distribuer contenu dans le récipient, le produit à distribuer engendre par poussée la sortie de l'additif par les ouvertures dudit réceptacle, l'additif entrant en contact avec le produit contenu dans la poche.According to a particular embodiment, inside the transfer piece, is arranged a receptacle containing an additive, this receptacle comprising openings so that, during the distribution of the product to be distributed contained in the container, the product to distribute generates by pushing out the additive through the openings of said receptacle, the additive coming into contact with the product contained in the bag.

L'invention consiste, mises à part les dispositions exposées ci-dessus, en un certain nombre d'autres dispositions dont il sera plus explicitement question ci-après à propos d'exemples de réalisation décrits avec référence aux dessins annexés, mais qui ne sont nullement limitatifs.The invention consists, apart from the arrangements set out above, of a certain number of other arrangements which will be more explicitly discussed below in connection with exemplary embodiments described with reference to the appended drawings, but which are not in no way limiting.

La figure 1, de ces dessins, est une coupe axiale verticale, avec parties en extérieur, d'un distributeur de produit, selon l'invention, dont le récipient de produit est formé par une poche souple déformable.Figure 1 of these drawings is a vertical axial section, with external parts, of a product dispenser according to the invention, the product container is formed by a flexible deformable pocket.

La figure 2, est une coupe semblable à la figure 1 d'une variante de réalisation comportant un système anti-prisonnier à l'intérieur de la poche souple.Figure 2 is a section similar to Figure 1 of an alternative embodiment comprising an anti-prisoner system inside the flexible pocket.

La figure 7 est une coupe verticale axiale d'une recharge constituée par un ensemble récipient-embase fermé par un opercule et un ensemble pompe-manchon avant fixation sur la recharge.Figure 7 is an axial vertical section of a refill constituted by a container-base assembly closed by a cover and a pump-sleeve assembly before attachment to the refill.

La figure 8 est une vue en coupe verticale axiale d'un ensemble pompe-pièce de transfert comportant un réceptacle pour un additif.FIG. 8 is a view in axial vertical section of a pump-transfer part assembly comprising a receptacle for an additive.

En se reportant à la figure 1 des dessins, on peut voir un distributeur 1 de produit P, liquide à pâteux, qui comprend un récipient R constitué par une poche souple 2, déformable, qui est fermée, à sa partie inférieure 3, par exemple par une double soudure. La poche 2 est rendue solidaire, en partie haute, par l'intermédiaire d'une embase 7, d'une enveloppe extérieure rigide 4 de forme cylindrique, dont la section transversale peut avoir une forme différente de la forme circulaire, par exemple une forme ovale. L'enveloppe 4 est munie d'un fond 5 comportant un orifice 6, pour établir une communication avec l'atmosphère. Une pompe manuelle 8, sans reprise d'air, surmontée d'un bouton-poussoir 9 est fixée sur l'embase 7.Referring to Figure 1 of the drawings, one can see a dispenser 1 of product P, liquid to pasty, which comprises a container R consisting of a flexible pocket 2, deformable, which is closed, at its lower part 3, for example by a double weld. The pocket 2 is made integral, in the upper part, by means of a base 7, of a rigid outer casing 4 of cylindrical shape, the cross section of which may have a shape different from the circular shape, for example a shape oval. The envelope 4 is provided with a bottom 5 comprising an orifice 6, to establish communication with the atmosphere. A manual pump 8, without air intake, surmounted by a push button 9 is fixed on the base 7.

L'embase 7 a la forme d'une cuvette engagée dans le récipient R. Plus précisément, la cuvette 7, sur sa paroi extérieure, est munie de bourrelets 10 sur lesquels est engagée la partie supérieure de la poche 2 qui est fixée à la paroi de l'embase par tout moyen approprié, notamment par soudage. L'embase 7 tourne sa concavité du côté opposé à la poche 2.The base 7 has the shape of a bowl engaged in the container R. More specifically, the bowl 7, on its outer wall, is provided with beads 10 on which is engaged the upper part of the pocket 2 which is fixed to the wall of the base by any suitable means, in particular by welding. Base 7 turns its concavity on the opposite side to the pocket 2.

La pompe 8, dont on ne voit que la partie extérieure constituant le corps, est portée par le fond 11 de la cuvette de sorte que le bouton-poussoir 9 et sa surface supérieure 9a sont relativement proches du niveau supérieur de la poche 2.The pump 8, of which only the outer part constituting the body can be seen, is carried by the bottom 11 of the bowl so that the push button 9 and its upper surface 9 a are relatively close to the upper level of the pocket 2.

Un fourreau 12 est ménagé dans la zone centrale du fond 11 de la cuvette. Ce fourreau 12 fait saillie principalement du côté du fond 11 tourné vers la poche 2, et légèrement dans la concavité de la cuvette. Une pièce de transfert ou manchon 13 est encliqueté, à sa base, dans le fourreau 12, par exemple par la coopération de deux bourrelets circulaires périphériques 14, écartés axialement l'un de l'autre et prévus sur le manchon, avec des gorges annulaires conjuguées prévues sur la surface intérieure du fourreau 12. Ce fourreau est muni, à sa partie inférieure, d'une collerette 15 faisant saillie axialement vers l'intérieur du fourreau et présentant une surface extérieure tronconique, formant lèvre d'étanchéité, propre à coopérer avec l'extrémité conjuguée de la surface intérieure du manchon 13. La lèvre 15 permet d'établir une étanchéité avec des manchons 13 dont le diamètre intérieur peut varier ce qui permet de fixer sur une même embase 7 des pompes 8 de diamètres différents, avec un manchon adapté.A sheath 12 is formed in the central zone of the bottom 11 of the bowl. This sheath 12 protrudes mainly from the side of the bottom 11 facing the pocket 2, and slightly in the concavity of the bowl. A transfer piece or sleeve 13 is snapped, at its base, into the sleeve 12, for example by the cooperation of two peripheral circular beads 14, axially spaced from one another and provided on the sleeve, with annular grooves conjugates provided on the inner surface of the sleeve 12. This sleeve is provided, at its lower part, with a collar 15 projecting axially towards the inside of the sleeve and having a frustoconical external surface, forming sealing lip, suitable for cooperating with the conjugate end of the inner surface of the sleeve 13. The lip 15 makes it possible to establish a seal with sleeves 13, the internal diameter of which can vary, which makes it possible to fix pumps 8 of different diameters on the same base 7 a suitable sleeve.

Le manchon ou pièce de transfert 13 comporte, en partie haute, une collerette 16, faisant saillie radialement, pour le sertissage d'une capsule métallique 17 dont est munie la pompe 8. Le corps de pompe comporte, en partie haute, une collerette 18 de plus fort diamètre sur laquelle est sertie la partie haute de la capsule 17, cette capsule ayant une bordure libre rabattue vers le bas propre à être sertie sur la collerette 16. Une rondelle d'étanchéité 19, par exemple en matière élastomère, est prévue entre la face supérieure de la collerette 16 et la zone en regard de la capsule 17.The sleeve or transfer piece 13 comprises, in the upper part, a flange 16, projecting radially, for crimping a metal capsule 17 which is provided with the pump 8. The pump body comprises, in the upper part, a flange 18 larger diameter on which is crimped the upper part of the capsule 17, this capsule having a free edge folded down suitable for being crimped on the flange 16. A sealing washer 19, for example of elastomeric material, is provided between the face upper side of the collar 16 and the area opposite the capsule 17.

Une autre rondelle d'étanchéité est prévue entre la collerette 18 et la partie haute de la capsule 17.Another sealing washer is provided between the collar 18 and the upper part of the capsule 17.

Un tube 20 fait saillie, vers le haut, relativement au corps de pompe 8.A tube 20 projects upwards relative to the pump body 8.

Le poussoir 9 comporte, intérieurement, un bossage 21 dans lequel est prévu un alésage propre à recevoir l'extrémité du tube 20, un conduit 22 étant prévu dans le poussoir 9 pour établir une liaison avec l'atmosphère. Le tube 20 peut être enfoncé dans le corps de pompe et actionner un piston (non visible) lorsqu'une pression est exercée sur le bouton-poussoir 9, le retour étant assuré par un ressort, non visible sur le dessin, disposé à l'intérieur du corps de pompe.The pusher 9 has, internally, a boss 21 in which is provided a bore capable of receiving the end of the tube 20, a conduit 22 being provided in the pusher 9 to establish a connection with the atmosphere. The tube 20 can be pushed into the pump body and actuate a piston (not visible) when pressure is exerted on the push-button 9, the return being ensured by a spring, not visible in the drawing, arranged at the inside the pump body.

Un espace radial suffisant est prévu entre la surface intérieure de l'embase 7 et le pourtour de la collerette 16 pour permettre le passage d'une jupe 23 du bouton-poussoir 9.Sufficient radial space is provided between the inner surface of the base 7 and the periphery of the flange 16 to allow the passage of a skirt 23 of the push button 9.

Vers son extrémité supérieure l'embase 7 est munie d'une nervure périphérique extérieure 24 munie d'une gorge d'encliquetage propre à coopérer avec un moyen d'encliquetage correspondant prévu à l'extrémité supérieure de l'enveloppe 4. La nervure 24 est surmontée d'une gorge d'encliquetage 25, prévue à la périphérie de l'embase 7, pour recevoir un bourrelet d'encliquetage d'un couvercle 26 muni, dans sa région centrale, d'une ouverture pour le passage et le guidage de la jupe 23.Towards its upper end, the base 7 is provided with an external peripheral rib 24 provided with a latching groove capable of cooperating with a corresponding latching means provided at the upper end of the envelope 4. The rib 24 is surmounted by a latching groove 25, provided at the periphery of the base 7, to receive a latching bead with a cover 26 provided, in its central region, with an opening for passage and guidance of the skirt 23.

Sur le dessin, on a désigné par h la profondeur de la cuvette formée par l'embase 7 et par l la longueur axiale du corps de pompe 8, cette longueur l ne prenant pas en compte le tube 20. Il apparaît que la pompe 8 et, en conséquence le bouton-poussoir 9, est abaissée relativement à l'extrémité supérieure de l'enveloppe 4 d'une distance au moins égale à h de sorte que l'effet esthétique est amélioré et que la manoeuvre de la pompe est facilitée, même lorsque la course de la pompe est importante. En cas de changement des dimensions de la section transversale du récipient R, ou de la forme de sa section droite, il suffit de changer l'embase 7, l'enveloppe 4 pouvant être conservée.In the drawing, h has been designated by the depth of the bowl formed by the base 7 and by l the axial length of the pump body 8, this length l not taking into account the tube 20. It appears that the pump 8 and, consequently, the push button 9, is lowered relative to the upper end of the casing 4 by a distance at least equal to h so that the aesthetic effect is improved and the operation of the pump is facilitated, even when the stroke of the pump is large . In the event of a change in the dimensions of the cross section of the container R, or in the shape of its cross section, it suffices to change the base 7, the envelope 4 being able to be kept.

Le bord supérieur 13a de la pièce de transfert 13 est situé à un niveau égal ou inférieur à celui du bord supérieur 7 a de l'embase 7. La fixation, notamment le sertissage, de la pompe sur la pièce de transfert 13 se trouve ainsi marquée, à l'intérieur de la cuvette.The upper edge 13a of the transfer part 13 is located at a level equal to or lower than that of the upper edge 7 a of the base 7. The attachment, in particular the crimping, of the pump on the transfer part 13 is thus marked, inside the bowl.

Si l'on change de type de pompe 8, pour un même type de récipient R, on peut conserver la même embase 7 en changeant éventuellement uniquement la pièce de transfert 13. La poche souple 2 peut s'écraser jusqu'au niveau inférieur 11 de l'embase 7 en forme de cuvette de sorte que la perte de produit, en fin d'utilisation de la poche 2, est réduite.If the pump type 8 is changed, for the same type of container R, the same base 7 can be kept, possibly only changing the transfer part 13. The flexible pocket 2 can be crushed to the lower level 11 of the base 7 in the form of a bowl so that the loss of product, at the end of use of the bag 2, is reduced.

Il est clair que le positionnement de la pompe, dans l'embase 7, peut être quelconque, c'est-à-dire que l'axe de la pompe n'est pas nécessairement confondu avec l'axe de la cuvette.It is clear that the positioning of the pump, in the base 7, can be arbitrary, that is to say that the axis of the pump is not necessarily coincident with the axis of the bowl.

En se reportant à la figure 2, on peut voir une variante de réalisation du dispositif de la figure 1, variante dans laquelle les éléments identiques ou semblables à des éléments déjà décrits à propos de cette figure 1 sont désignés par les mêmes références numériques, éventuellement augmentées du nombre 100, et leur description n'est pas reprise ou n'est effectuée que succinctement. Il en sera de même pour les autres variantes de réalisation, dont les références numériques seront augmentées de 100 à chaque fois.Referring to Figure 2, we can see an alternative embodiment of the device of Figure 1, variant in which the elements identical or similar to elements already described in connection with this Figure 1 are designated by the same reference numerals, possibly increased by the number 100, and their description is not repeated or is made only succinctly. The same will apply to the other variant embodiments, the reference numbers of which will be increased by 100 each time.

Le fond 111 de la cuvette 107 porte des organes anti-prisonniers 27 dont la fonction, connue en elle-même, est d'empêcher les parois de la poche souple 102 de se coller l'une contre l'autre, par exemple dans leur zone médiane, et d'emprisonner, dans la partie inférieure, une masse de produit qui ne pourra pas être éjectée.The bottom 111 of the bowl 107 carries anti-prisoner members 27 whose function, known in itself, is to prevent the walls of the flexible pocket 102 from sticking against each other, for example in their middle zone, and to trap, in the lower part, a mass of product which cannot be ejected.

Les organes anti-prisonniers 27 sont avantageusement constitués par quatre ailettes 28 placées en croix autour de l'axe du récipient et s'étendant longitudinalement vers le bas à partir de l'ouverture dans laquelle est engagée la base du corps de pompe 108. La bordure de chaque ailette voisine de l'axe comporte un évidement 29 de façon à laisser un passage pour le produit, dans la zone centrale comprise entre les ailettes.The anti-prisoner members 27 are advantageously constituted by four fins 28 placed crosswise around the axis of the container and extending longitudinally downwards from the opening in which the base of the pump body 108 is engaged. edge of each fin adjacent to the axis has a recess 29 so as to leave a passage for the product, in the central zone between the fins.

Les ailettes 28 viennent avantageusement de moulage avec la cuvette 107, et le fourreau 112 est entièrement situé dans la concavité de la cuvette 107.The fins 28 advantageously come from molding with the bowl 107, and the sheath 112 is entirely located in the concavity of the bowl 107.

Bien entendu, il est possible de prévoir n'importe quel dispositif anti-prisonnier venu de moulage avec le fond 111 de la cuvette, par exemple une grille, ou un tube ajouré.Of course, it is possible to provide any anti-prisoner device molded with the bottom 111 of the bowl, for example a grid, or an openwork tube.

Un tel tube ajouré pourrait former une seule pièce avec la pièce de transfert 113.Such an openwork tube could form a single piece with the transfer piece 113.

On se reporte maintenant à la figure 4 qui montre une variante de réalisation dans laquelle la paroi du récipient R est rigide et constitue simultanément l'enveloppe extérieure rigide 204.Referring now to FIG. 4 which shows an alternative embodiment in which the wall of the container R is rigid and simultaneously constitutes the rigid outer envelope 204.

Le récipient R comporte, à l'intérieur de la paroi 204, un piston suiveur 30 dont la face opposée au produit est soumise à la pression atmosphérique grâce à l'existence d'un trou 31 prévu dans le fond 205 du récipient R.The container R comprises, inside the wall 204, a follower piston 30 whose face opposite to the product is subjected to atmospheric pressure thanks to the existence of a hole 31 provided in the bottom 205 of the container R.

L'embase 207, en forme de cuvette, est encliquetée à l'extrémité supérieure du récipient R à l'aide des bourrelets 210, reçus par des gorges conjuguées prévues sur la surface intérieure de la paroi 204. La nervure 224 vient coiffer l'extrémité supérieure de la paroi 204, avec serrage d'une rondelle d'étanchéité 32.The base 207, in the form of a bowl, is latched at the upper end of the container R to by means of the beads 210, received by conjugate grooves provided on the interior surface of the wall 204. The rib 224 comes to cover the upper end of the wall 204, with tightening of a sealing washer 32.

Le fourreau 212 est entièrement situé dans la concavité de la cuvette 207 et l'extrémité inférieure du corps de la pompe 208 vient pratiquement affleurer la surface inférieure du fond 211 de sorte que, lorsque le piston 30 vient en butée contre cette extrémité du corps de pompe, il ne reste pratiquement plus de produit dans le récipient R.The sleeve 212 is entirely located in the concavity of the bowl 207 and the lower end of the body of the pump 208 comes almost flush with the lower surface of the bottom 211 so that, when the piston 30 abuts this end of the body of the pump, there is practically no product left in container R.

La profondeur h de la cuvette 207 est sensiblement égale à la longueur l du corps de pompe 208.The depth h of the bowl 207 is substantially equal to the length l of the pump body 208.

Sur la figure 4, l'embase 207 est représentée comme une pièce indépendante du récipient R. En variante, cette embase pourrait être d'une seule pièce, notamment venant de moulage, avec le récipient R, tandis que le fond 205 serait rapporté, en particulier par claquage ou vissage, sur le récipient.In FIG. 4, the base 207 is shown as an independent part of the container R. As a variant, this base could be in one piece, in particular coming from molding, with the container R, while the bottom 205 would be attached, in particular by snapping or screwing, on the container.

La figure 5 illustre une variante de réalisation du dispositif de la figure 4.FIG. 5 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the device of FIG. 4.

Dans le dispositif de la figure 5, la capsule métallique 317, pour le sertissage de la pompe, comporte une bordure libre 33 relevée vers le haut, contrairement au cas de la figure 4. La pièce de transfert 313 comporte, en partie haute, une paroi annulaire transversale radiale 34 munie, sur son pourtour extérieur, d'un bord cylindrique 35 parallèle à l'axe du manchon et tourné vers le haut. Ce bord 35 comporte, à son extrémité supérieure, un bourrelet extérieur pour le sertissage de la bordure 33 de la capsule métallique, avec interposition d'une rondelle d'étanchéité 36.In the device of FIG. 5, the metal capsule 317, for crimping the pump, has a free edge 33 raised upwards, unlike in the case of FIG. 4. The transfer part 313 comprises, in the upper part, a radial transverse annular wall 34 provided, on its outer periphery, with a cylindrical edge 35 parallel to the axis of the sleeve and turned upwards. This edge 35 comprises, at its upper end, an external bead for crimping the edge 33 of the metal capsule, with the interposition of a sealing washer 36.

La figure 6 fait apparaître que l'embase 307 a une section droite ovale, en forme de barquette, l'enveloppe 304 admettant une section transversale semblable dans laquelle est engagée ladite embase.FIG. 6 shows that the base 307 has an oval cross section, in the form of a tray, the casing 304 admitting a similar cross section in which said base is engaged.

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté sur la figure 7, le dispositif est constitué par un ensemble poche souple 402-embase 407, dans lequel la poche-souple est fixée par soudage sur l'embase 407. L'ensemble poche souple 402-embase 407 forme une recharge et il est fixé de façon amovible sur une enceinte rigide 404 comme expliqué dans le cadre de la figure 1. Un ensemble pompe 408-pièce de transfert 413 est susceptible d'être fixé sur l'embase 407. L'embase 407 est munie d'un fourreau axial 412 muni de bourrelets de claquage circulaires externes 414 permettant de fixer par encliquetage la pièce de transfert 413. L'ouverture axiale ménagée par le fourreau 412 est fermée par un opercule en aluminium thermosoudé 430, l'opercule étant fixé sur la surface du fond 411 de l'embase tournée vers le récipient. La pièce de transfert 413 est constituée par une partie cylindrique 431 ayant un diamètre externe égal au jeu nécessaire près au diamètre interne du fourreau. Sur la surface externe de la pièce de transfert 413 est disposée, par l'intermédiaire d'une surface annulaire perpendiculaire à l'axe du manchon, une jupe d'étanchéité 433 dont le rebord inférieur est muni d'un bourrelet de claquage 434 susceptible de coopérer avec les bourrelets de claquage 414 du fourreau 412. Sur le bord inférieur de la partie cylindrique 431 du manchon 413 sont disposés des couteaux 435.In the embodiment shown in FIG. 7, the device consists of a flexible pocket assembly 402-base 407, in which the flexible pocket is fixed by welding to the base 407. The flexible pocket assembly 402-base 407 forms a refill and it is removably attached to a rigid enclosure 404 as explained in the context of FIG. 1. A pump 408-transfer piece 413 assembly is capable of being fixed to the base 407. The base 407 is provided with an axial sheath 412 provided with external circular snap flanges 414 making it possible to snap-fasten the transfer piece 413. The axial opening formed by the sheath 412 is closed by a heat-sealed aluminum cover 430, the cover being fixed to the bottom surface 411 of the base facing the container. The transfer piece 413 is constituted by a cylindrical part 431 having an external diameter equal to the clearance required near the internal diameter of the sleeve. On the external surface of the transfer piece 413 is disposed, by means of an annular surface perpendicular to the axis of the sleeve, a sealing skirt 433 the lower edge of which is provided with a snap bead 434 capable of to cooperate with the snapping beads 414 of the sleeve 412. On the lower edge of the cylindrical part 431 of the sleeve 413 are arranged knives 435.

La pompe 408 est analogue à celle illustrée sur la figure 1 et elle est fixée par sertissage sur un bourrelet supérieur 418 de la pièce de transfert 413.The pump 408 is similar to that illustrated in FIG. 1 and it is fixed by crimping on an upper bead 418 of the transfer part 413.

Lorsque l'utilisateur désire utiliser une recharge, il l'introduit dans le récipient rigide et/ou il fixe par claquage la pièce de transfert 413 sur le fourreau 412, la partie cylindrique 431 portant les couteaux 435, pénétrant dans le fourreau 412 et la jupe d'étanchéité 433 venant se fixer par claquage sur la surface extérieure du fourreau 412. Les couteaux 435 situés à la partie inférieure de la partie cylindrique 431 de la pièce de transfert 413 viennent déchirer l'opercule 430 et établir la communication entre la poche 402 et la pompe 408. L'utilisateur peut ensuite fixer sur la pompe 408 le bouton-poussoir (non représenté).When the user wishes to use a refill, he introduces it into the rigid container and / or he snaps the transfer piece 413 on the sheath 412, the cylindrical part 431 carrying the knives 435, penetrating into the sheath 412 and the sealing skirt 433 coming to be fixed by snapping on the external surface of the sheath 412. The knives 435 located at the lower part of the part cylindrical 431 of the transfer piece 413 tear the cover 430 and establish communication between the pocket 402 and the pump 408. The user can then fix the push button (not shown) on the pump 408.

L'ensemble pompe 508-pièce de transfert 413 illustré sur la figure 8 comporte un réceptacle 540 fixé par des pattes 541 à la paroi latérale de la pièce de transfert 513 de façon que sa face supérieure 542 soit disposée au-dessous du corps de pompe. A la périphérie de la face supérieure 541 sont ménagées des ouvertures 543. Le fond du réceptacle est muni d'un piston suiveur 544.The pump 508-transfer part 413 assembly illustrated in FIG. 8 comprises a receptacle 540 fixed by lugs 541 to the side wall of the transfer part 513 so that its upper face 542 is disposed below the pump body . At the periphery of the upper face 541 are openings 543. The bottom of the receptacle is provided with a follower piston 544.

Le réceptacle contient un additif A. Lorsque l'ensemble pompe 508-pièce de transfert 413 est fixé sur l'embase, et que l'on actionne la pompe, le produit contenu dans la poche pousse sur le piston suiveur 544, ce qui provoque la sortie de l'additif par les ouvertures 543. L'additif A entre alors en contact avec un flux de produit à distribuer qui passe autour du réceptacle 540.The receptacle contains an additive A. When the pump 508-transfer piece 413 assembly is fixed on the base, and the pump is actuated, the product contained in the pocket pushes on the follower piston 544, which causes the outlet of the additive through the openings 543. The additive A then comes into contact with a flow of product to be dispensed which passes around the receptacle 540.
