Definitions
- the present invention relates to this type of packaging and proposes to facilitate filling.
- publication EP-A-0 193 054 proposes to first place the piston in a high position unmasking the outlet of an evacuation passage or air purge formed by an internal by-pass. then, after injection of the product, push the piston back into contact with the latter, at the end of assembly, using a stop driven by the upper part of the assembly, then also closing said bleed.
- the invention proposes, on the contrary, to make it belong this tube has a well secured to the container which therefore constitutes with it and the piston the lower part of the cartridge.
- the wall of this container will be made of two elements trapping the annular piston and, to avoid creating internal undercuts, the well will be connected to the narrowest zone of the upper element, that intended for receive the preassembled distributor, by a skeleton flange opening under the seat of the mounting and sealing gasket of said distributor on said container.
- the filling will be carried out conveniently by raising the piston from a low position, the assembly finally receiving to seal its upper part.
- the container itself is visible in Figure 2, during filling. It consists of a cylindrical case 11 capped with a socket 12 in the form of a cover fitted at 12 a , having internally a well 13 whose lower tubular portion 13 a will serve as an intake tube, connected to the external belt 12 b of the bush 12 by a double cylindrical shell 13 b creating an internal chamber provided with a lower seat 13 c and, under a ribbing 12 c , a shoulder 13 d forming a flange and crossed by one or more free passages 13 e . Inside had been set up the annular piston 14, advantageously in the low position.
- the first conditioning phase consists in injecting the product 15 under the piston 14, preferably after having purged the air, using the injector capsule 16 in sealed support on the seat 13 c as shown in the figure: we see that the intake tube 13 a , integral with the belt 12 b , can thus both guide the piston by preventing it from jamming and fulfill the role of an injection tube, while the air above the piston is free to escape through passages 13 e as it fills.
- the second phase is simply to set up the distributor as shown in Figure 1; the latter here consists of a conventional self-priming pump of a standardized model, previously assembled under a flange 17, its body 18, provided with a vent 18 a , retained in a groove by its flange 18 b .
- the body is housed in the internal chamber, jacketed in a way by the ferrule forming the top of the well 13; the collar is itself flexible enough so that after tight fitting of the nozzle 18 c of the pump body on the seat 13 c at the upper outlet of the intake tube 13 a , its collar 17 a can in turn be caught under the ribbing 12 c in the groove formed by it, sealing the closure in an equally tight seal.
- the vent 18 a can then continue to play its role of venting.
- the version shown here also includes a transmitting head 20 which can be delivered assembled, and a cap 21.
Abstract
Description
Il est habituel de commercialiser des produits à consistance de pâte ou de crème dans des tubes souples métalliques ou en matières synthétiques ; pour s'en servir, l'utilisateur presse simplement sur le tube après avoir enlevé le bouchon, afin d'en expulser une certaine quantité de produit. On peut citer à titre d'exemples cirages, pâtes dentifrices ou crèmes cosmétiques, ou encore des médicaments, collyres ou autres.It is usual to market products with a consistency of paste or cream in flexible metal or synthetic tubes; to use it, the user simply presses on the tube after removing the cap, in order to expel a certain amount of product. Mention may be made, by way of examples, of shoe polishes, toothpastes or cosmetic creams, or also of drugs, eye drops or the like.
Il a aussi, de longue date, été proposé de monter sur l'orifice de ces tubes une pompe agissant par l'effet combiné de la dépression qu'elle créera à l'intérieur du tube et de la pression atmosphérique sur les parois de celui-ci. On peut y voir deux avantages. La pompe permettra d'abord de doser la quantité de produit délivrée ; elle permettra ensuite, au moins en principe, puisque l'utilisateur n'a plus à presser sur le tube mais sur sa tête, d'insérer ce tube dans un étui rigide ouvert par quelque orifice : ceci crée une cartouche facilitant manipulation et rangement.It has also long been proposed to mount on the orifice of these tubes a pump acting by the combined effect of the depression it will create inside the tube and the atmospheric pressure on the walls of that -this. We can see two advantages. The pump will first of all measure the quantity of product delivered; it will then allow, at least in principle, since the user no longer has to press on the tube but on his head, to insert this tube in a rigid case opened by some orifice: this creates a cartridge facilitating handling and storage.
En réalité, la nature même du produit fait qu'il est presque impossible de garantir que le tube s'aplatira régulièrement à partir de son extrémité distale en chassant une dose constante jusqu'à épuisement du contenu.In reality, the very nature of the product makes it almost impossible to guarantee that the tube will flatten regularly from its distal end by chasing a constant dose until the contents are exhausted.
En pratique, après plusieurs tentatives pour modifier les prises des pompes, une autre solution a prévalu. C'est un fond mobile formé d'un piston placé dans un étui rigide à paroi internement cylindrique qui chassera le produit au fur et à mesure de l'emploi et, dans la mesure où son étanchéité suffit, pourra ainsi se substituer au tube souple. Il est à noter que l'on peut adjoindre un ressort pour repousser le fond, plaçant alors sur l'orifice une simple valve.In practice, after several attempts to modify the pump outlets, another solution prevailed. It is a movable base formed by a piston placed in a rigid case with an internally cylindrical wall which will expel the product as and when it is used and, insofar as its tightness is sufficient, can thus replace the flexible tube. . It should be noted that one can add a spring to push back the bottom, then placing a simple valve on the orifice.
On peut recourir à un piston placé au fond de l'étui, qui remontera progressivement, en utilisation courante, le long de la face interne de la paroi de ce dernier pour chasser le produit vers le haut, où se trouve la prise de la pompe, mais aussi à un piston annulaire placé au dessus du produit en utilisation courante, c'est-à-dire monté entre ladite paroi et une portion tubulaire à prise basse, rapportée sur le corps de la pompe ou, parfois, pouvant directement lui appartenir.We can use a piston placed at the bottom of the case, which will gradually rise, in current use, along the internal face of the wall of the latter to drive the product up, where the pump socket is located , but also to an annular piston placed above the product in current use, that is to say mounted between said wall and a tubular portion with low grip, attached to the body of the pump or, sometimes, which may directly belong to it .
Cette disposition inversée présente plusieurs avantages. Elle permet de réduire la hauteur, accroît la stabilité en cours d'utilisation et, employant une prise basse, atténue les inconvénients qui pourraient résulter de la présence résiduelle de bulles d'air à l'intérieur. Il faut aussi noter que si l'on emploie une pompe de modèle courant possédant un évent intégré s'ouvrant à chaque intervention de l'opérateur, celui-ci mettra à l'air le compartiment supérieur sans que, pour équilibrer sa pression, il y ait à prévoir un orifice spécial sur l'étui lui-même : il n'y a donc plus de communication permanente, ce qui améliore l'isolation du produit vis à vis de l'atmosphère.This reverse arrangement has several advantages. It makes it possible to reduce the height, increases stability during use and, using a low grip, reduces the inconvenience that could result from the residual presence of air bubbles inside. It should also be noted that if a standard model pump is used which has an integrated vent opening each time the operator intervenes, the latter will vent the upper compartment without, to balance its pressure, it there is to provide a special orifice on the case itself: there is therefore no more permanent communication, which improves the isolation of the product from the atmosphere.
La présente invention a trait à ce type de conditionnement et se propose d'en faciliter le remplissage.The present invention relates to this type of packaging and proposes to facilitate filling.
Au moment de conditionner le produit, il est en pratique nécessaire de disposer d'un distributeur assemblé et en règle générale impossible d'effectuer le remplissage à travers ce dernier ; on comprendra donc facilement qu'on ne peut normalement le placer d'avance.When packaging the product, it is in practice necessary to have an assembled dispenser and, as a rule, impossible to fill through it; it will therefore be easily understood that it cannot normally be placed in advance.
Sous cette reserve on peut envisager les ordres de remplissage les plus variés. En particulier, lorsque le fond mobile est inversé il est d'abord possible d'introduire le produit, le piston, puis la pompe ou le ressort éventuel et la valve.Subject to this reservation, we can consider the most varied filling orders. In particular, when the movable bottom is reversed it is first possible to introduce the product, the piston, then the pump or the possible spring and the valve.
Mais on peut inversement placer d'abord le piston, injecter ensuite la pâte ou la crème sous sa face inférieure à l'aide d'une canule adéquate passant par son ouverture centrale, après purge éventuelle de l'air qui aurait pu subsister, puis dégager la canule en retenant le piston s'il le fallait ; le distributeur sera alors mis en place, de préférence déjà assemblé sous sa collerette, puis enfoncé par un outil appuyant sur la collerette pour exercer l'effort de pose sur le récipient mais aussi, avantageusement, sur le gicleur pour le maintenir ouvert, le produit pouvant ainsi être refoulé à l'intérieur ; s'agissant d'une pompe et quoique l'industrie emploie systématiquement des pompes auto-amorçantes, il peut être souhaitable qu'elle se trouve ainsi amorcée au départ. La solution ci-dessus présente l'avantage de minimiser sans précautions excessives le contact du produit avec l'atmosphère extérieure.But we can inversely place the piston first, then inject the paste or the cream under its underside using an appropriate cannula passing through its central opening, after possible purging of the air which could have remained, then clear the cannula by retaining the plunger if necessary; the dispenser will then be put in place, preferably already assembled under its flange, then pushed in by a tool pressing on the flange to exert the laying effort on the container but also, advantageously, on the nozzle to keep it open, the product can thus be pushed back inside; as it is a pump and although the industry systematically uses self-priming pumps, it may be desirable for it to be primed in this way at the start. The above solution has the advantage of minimizing without excessive precautions the contact of the product with the external atmosphere.
Pour la mettre en oeuvre, la publication EP-A-0 193 054 propose de placer d'abord le piston dans une position haute démasquant le débouché d'un passage d'évacuation ou purge d'air formé d'un by-pass interne puis, après injection du produit, de repousser le piston au contact de ce dernier, en fin d'assemblage, à l'aide d'une butée entraînée par la partie supérieure de l'ensemble, fermant alors aussi ladite purge.To implement it, publication EP-A-0 193 054 proposes to first place the piston in a high position unmasking the outlet of an evacuation passage or air purge formed by an internal by-pass. then, after injection of the product, push the piston back into contact with the latter, at the end of assembly, using a stop driven by the upper part of the assembly, then also closing said bleed.
Elle envisage même, employant un tube de prise rapporté, de l'utiliser en tant qu'embout de la canule de remplissage, et de n'emboîter la pompe sur le siège formé à son débouché supérieur que lors de cette phase finale d'assemblage ; mais en vérité la mise en oeuvre pratique d'une telle opération semble extrêmement aléatoire car le piston et le tube maintenu par lui seul flottent pendant presque toute sa durée.It even plans, using an attached intake tube, to use it as a nozzle for the filling cannula, and to fit the pump onto the seat formed at its upper outlet only during this final assembly phase. ; but in reality the practical implementation of such an operation seems extremely uncertain because the piston and the tube held by it alone float for almost its entire duration.
Pour remplir une cartouche à fond mobile inversé en forme de piston annulaire et tube de prise ou d'injection rapporté en opérant par l'ouverture centrale de ce piston, à l'abri de la pollution, l'invention propose au contraire de faire appartenir ce tube à un puits solidaire du récipient qui constitue donc avec lui et le piston la partie basse de la cartouche.To fill a cartridge with an inverted movable bottom in the form of an annular piston and attached intake or injection tube operating by the central opening of this piston, protected from pollution, the invention proposes, on the contrary, to make it belong this tube has a well secured to the container which therefore constitutes with it and the piston the lower part of the cartridge.
Selon une caractéristique avantageuse, la paroi de ce récipient sera faite de deux éléments emprisonnant le piston annulaire et, pour éviter de créer des contre-dépouilles internes, le puits sera relié à la zone la plus étroite de l'élément supérieur, celle destinée à recevoir le distributeur préassemblé, par une bride à claire-voie débouchant sous le siège du joint de montage et d'étanchéité dudit distributeur sur ledit récipient.According to an advantageous characteristic, the wall of this container will be made of two elements trapping the annular piston and, to avoid creating internal undercuts, the well will be connected to the narrowest zone of the upper element, that intended for receive the preassembled distributor, by a skeleton flange opening under the seat of the mounting and sealing gasket of said distributor on said container.
Le remplissage s'effectuera commodément par montée du piston à partir d'une position basse, l'ensemble recevant enfin pour le sceller sa partie haute.The filling will be carried out conveniently by raising the piston from a low position, the assembly finally receiving to seal its upper part.
Un exemple avantageux sera décrit ci-dessous en référence aux dessins, qui représentent, en coupe verticale :
- figure 1 : un conditionnement selon l'invention,
- figure 2 : le remplissage du récipient correspondant.
- FIG. 1: a packaging according to the invention,
- Figure 2: filling the corresponding container.
Le récipient lui-même est visible sur la figure 2, en cours de remplissage. Il est constitué d'un étui cylindrique 11 coiffé d'une douille 12 en forme de couvercle emboîté en 12a, possédant intérieurement un puits 13 dont la portion tubulaire inférieure 13a servira de tube de prise, reliée à la ceinture externe 12b de la douille 12 par une double virole cylindrique 13b créant une chambre interne dotée d'un siège inférieur 13c et, sous une nervuration 12c, d'un épaulement 13d formant bride et traversé d'un ou plusieurs passages libres 13e. A l'intérieur avait été mis en place le piston annulaire 14, avantageusement en position basse.The container itself is visible in Figure 2, during filling. It consists of a
Sur ce récipient en deux pièces à col étréci, la bride à claire-voie formée par la virole supérieure du puits 13 et ses passages libres n'aurait pu se rattacher directement à la partie inférieure large de la ceinture externe sans créer des contre-dépouilles de nature à compliquer la fabrication.On this two-piece container with narrowed neck, the skeleton flange formed by the upper ferrule of well 13 and its free passages could not have been attached directly to the wide lower part of the outer belt without creating undercuts likely to complicate manufacturing.
La première phase de conditionnement consiste à injecter le produit 15 sous le piston 14, de préférence après avoir purgé l'air, à l'aide de la capsule injectrice 16 en appui étanche sur le siège 13c comme le montre la figure : on voit que le tube de prise 13a, solidaire de la ceinture 12b, peut ainsi à la fois guider le piston en l'empêchant de coincer et remplir le rôle d'un tube d'injection, tandis que l'air au-dessus du piston est libre de s'échapper par les passages 13e au fur et à mesure du remplissage.The first conditioning phase consists in injecting the
La seconde phase consiste simplement à mettre en place le distributeur comme le montre la figure 1 ; celui-ci est ici constitué d'une pompe auto-amorçante classique d'un modèle normalisé, préalablement assemblée sous une collerette 17, son corps 18, doté d'un évent 18a, retenu dans une gorge par son rebord 18b. Le corps vient se loger dans la chambre interne, chemisé en quelque sorte par la virole formant le haut du puits 13 ; la collerette est elle-même assez souple pour qu'après emboîtement étanche de l'embout 18c du corps de pompe sur le siège 13c au débouché supérieur du tube de prise 13a, son collet 17a puisse à son tour se prendre sous la nervuration 12c dans la gorge formée par elle, scellant la fermeture en un joint également étanche. Il est clair que, grâce à la position des passages 13e, l'évent 18a peut alors continuer à jouer son rôle de mise à l'air.The second phase is simply to set up the distributor as shown in Figure 1; the latter here consists of a conventional self-priming pump of a standardized model, previously assembled under a
Enfin, la version représentée ici comprend encore une tête émettrice 20 qui peut être livrée montée, et une coiffe 21.Finally, the version shown here also includes a transmitting
La solution ci-dessus apparaîtra plus commode que celles déjà existantes. Sans qu'il soit besoin d'autres descriptions, on conçoit facilement qu'elle accepte toutes sortes de variantes de forme, de matière ou d'assemblage des pièces, dont on voit qu'elles sont ici moulées par injection, ensemble et sous-ensembles se montant par simple emboîtement axial.The above solution will appear more convenient than those already existing. Without the need for other descriptions, it is easy to see that it accepts all sorts of variants of shape, material or assembly of the parts, which we see that they are here injection molded, assembly and sub-assemblies being mounted by simple axial interlocking.
