Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for closing a container comprising an applicator element.
  • the containers comprising an applicator element are of reduced size, in order to be able to find a place in a handbag; this is the case, for example, with bottles of nail polish; consequently, the length of the applicator element, such as for example a brush, is limited.
  • the length of the applicator element is too short, the application often becomes imprecise and delicate.
  • the present invention relates to a device for closing a container comprising an applicator element making it possible to obtain automatically, in particular in a single rotational movement, the release of the applicator element and the opening of the bottle.
  • a device for closing a container comprising an applicator element for reaching the fluid contained in the interior volume of said container and intended for applying said fluid when the closure device is detached from the bottle, in which said device includes a cover intended to be mounted on a neck with which the container is provided at its upper part, is characterized in that the cover is mounted on said neck by means of a capsule carrying the applicator element and suitable for directly closing the bottle by cooperation of '' a helical thread which it carries on its internal surface with a corresponding thread carried externally by the neck of the bottle, said capsule also carrying a seal intended to cooperate with the edge of the neck when the capsule is in place on the bottle , in the closed position, and in that the cover is mounted on the capsule and connected to said capsule by a helical type connection, in the same direction as that of the threads, such as the usual action of rotation applied to the cover to separate the container closure device first causes an axial displacement of the cover relative to the capsule, then an unscrewing of the capsule relative to the neck,
  • the seal is carried by the applicator element.
  • the cover internally carries a thread cooperating with a thread carried externally by the capsule, the lower resistance offered by the mounting of the cover on the capsule being obtained by the pitch of the threads which is larger than that of the threads.
  • the present invention also relates to a container equipped with a closure device according to the invention.
  • the closure device 1 is mounted on a container consisting of a bottle 2 whose volume 5 is filled with a liquid to be applied, such as for example a varnish to nails; as usual, the bottle 2, of revolution, has a trapezoidal base 22 connected at 23 to a sub-ring 12, the volume 13 of which is an extension volume for the liquid contained in the bottle, the sub-ring 12 being connected at 24 at a neck 3, the outer surface of which is provided with a helical thread 9.
  • An applicator element 4 for applying the nail varnish comprises a brush 15, surmounted by a mounting head 14 comprising a sectional part 20 for connecting the brush 15 to a circular plate 19 whose diameter is approximately equal to the diameter outside of the neck 3, in any case greater than the diameter of the orifice delimited by said neck 3, so that the plate 19 closes, with sealing, the neck 3; the plate 19 is surmounted by a cylindrical tip 18.
  • the closure device 1 comprises a cover 6 having the shape of a cylinder closed at 16 at its upper part; the cylindrical inner surface of the cover 6 carries a thread 10 which cooperates with a thread 11 carried by the capsule 7 on its cylindrical outer face. Threads 10 and 11 have the same direction as threads 8 and 9.
  • the pitch of threads 10 and 11 is greater than that of threads 8 and 9; therefore, when a rotation action is applied to the cover 6 to unscrew the closure device 1, the threads 10 and 11 offer less resistance than the threads 8 and 9: thus, in a first time, the cover 6 is unscrewed relative to the capsule 7 and moves axially away from the container as far as the end of the threading ends: this is the position shown in FIG. 2; continuing the rotation action, it is then the capsule 7 which unscrews from the neck 3 of the container; at the end of the movement, the closing device 1 is detached from the container: this is the position shown in FIG. 3.
  • the closing device 1 takes up little space axially, and that, on the other hand, in the operating position of the applicator element shown in Figure 3, it is provided with a gripping element, constituted by the cover 6, of a suitable length. It will also have been noted that the passage from the closed position to the operating position is done automatically, by the only usual gesture of unscrewing the closure device of the bottle.

Claims (4)

  1. Verschlußvorrichtung (1) für einen Behälter (2), die ein Auftragselement (4) zum Erreichen des in dem Innenvolumen (5) des Behälters (2) befindlichen Fluids und zum Auftragen des Fluids, wenn die Verschlußvorrichtung von dem Fläschchen getrennt ist, wobei die Vorrichtung (1) eine Kappe (6) umfaßt, die auf einem Hals (3), den der Behälter in seinem oberen Bereich aufweist, befestigbar ist,
    dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß
    die Kappe (6) auf dem Hals (3) mittels einer Kapsel (7) befestigt ist, welche das Auftragselement trägt und das Verschließen des Fläschchens durch Zusammenwirken eines auf ihrer Innenseite befindlichen Schraubengewindes (8) mit einem entsprechenden, außen auf dem Hals (3) des Fläschchens (2) befindlichen Gewinde (9) gewährleistet, wobei die Kapsel (7) auch eine Dichtung (19) aufweist, die mit dem Rand des Halses (3) zusammenwirkt, wenn sich die Kapsel (7) in Verschlußstellung auf dem Fläschchen befindet, und wobei die Kappe (6) auf der Kapsel (7) befestigt und mit dieser mittels einer schraubenartigen Verbindung, im gleichen Sinn wie die Gewinde (8,9), verbunden ist, so daß die übliche, auf die Kappe (6) zum Entfernen der Verschlußvorrichtung (1) vom Behälter (2) ausgeübte Drehbewegung, zunächst eine axiale Verschiebung der Kappe (6) bezüglich der Kapsel (7) und dann ein Abschrauben der Kapsel (7) von dem Hals (3) hervorruft, wobei die Befestigung der Kappe (6) auf der Kapsel (7) weniger Widerstand bietet als diejenige der Kapsel (7) auf dem Hals (3) des Behälters.
  2. Verschlußvorrichtung (1) gemäß Anspruch 1, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Dichtung (19) von dem Auftragselement (4) getragen wird.
  3. Verschlußvorrichtung (1) gemäß Anspruch 2, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Kappe (6) innen ein Gewinde (10) aufweist, das mit einem außen auf der Kapsel (7) befindlichen Gewinde (11) zusammenwirkt, wobei der geringere Widerstand, den die Befestigung der Kappe (6) auf der Kapsel (7) bietet, durch die Ganghöhen der Gewinde (10,11) hervorgerufen wird, die größer als diejenigen der Gewinde (8,9) sind.
  4. Behälter, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß er eine Verschlußvorrichtung gemäß einem der Ansprüche 1 bis 3 aufweist.
