Definitions
- the present invention relates to a product dispenser, liquid to pasty, with deformable pocket. More specifically, it relates to a dispenser comprising a container inside which is disposed a pocket of easily deformable plastic complex, without air intake.
- a base carrying a dispensing member is generally held mechanically relative to the container.
- the material of the bag must be very flexible and very thin to have a very small shape memory so as to allow the bag to be completely emptied, even when the dispensing member comprises a manual pump which, as is known , works all the better when the vacuum in the pocket is low, the pocket being without air intake when, in particular, the products contained in the pocket are sensitive to air; this is the case, for example, of cosmetic products.
- FR-A-2 648 794 shows such a dispenser of the kind in which the bag is formed from a sheath obtained by welding, along at least one longitudinal strip, the longitudinal edges of a strap, the peripheral length of the section straight of the sheath being substantially equal to the peripheral length of the base, said longitudinal weld strip cutting a weld strip from the bottom end in a region separate from the ends of said weld strip from the bottom end.
- the bag is fixed to the base by crimping which risks damaging the relatively fragile plastic complex, in particular when its thickness is small so that it is easily deformable.
- the tightness at this fixing by crimping also requires improvement.
- US-A-3,662,926 shows a dispenser with a deformable pocket made from a flexible tube devoid of longitudinal weld strip.
- the pocket is fixed by welding to the base. Welding does not pose any major problem, in this case, since the pocket is not made of a plastic complex and does not include a longitudinal weld strip, constituting an additional thickness.

- the rod 20 can be pressed into the pump body and actuate a piston when pressure is exerted on the push-button 9, the return being ensured by a spring disposed inside the pump body.
- the base 7 Towards its upper end, the base 7 is provided with a collar 16 suitable for cooperating with a flange 22 provided at the upper part of the container 4.
- the bottom 11 of the bowl 7 carries anti-prisoner members 27 whose function, known in itself, is to prevent the walls of the flexible bag 2 from sticking against each other, for example in their middle zone, and to trap, in the lower part, a volume of product which cannot be ejected.
- the anti-prisoner members are advantageously constituted by fins 28 placed around the axis of the container and extend longitudinally downwards from the opening in which the base of the pump body 8 is engaged; the edge of each fin adjacent to the axis has a recess 29 leaving a passage for the product; the fins 28 advantageously come from molding with the bowl 7; of course, it is possible to provide any anti-prisoner device molded with the bottom 11 of the bowl, for example a grid or an openwork tube.
- the lower part 30 of the anti-prisoner members 27 is free, so as to allow the passage of a filling cannula of the bag 2 before the installation of the pump 8, when the bag 2 is filled by the high, after it has been fully completed; of course it is preferable that, in this case, the pump 8 be secured to the base 7 by breakdown.
- the container 4 is made of transparent material; a screen 31, made of a tube cut from a sheath obtained by extrusion, is placed in the container 4 and surrounds the pocket 2, by masking it; the screen 31 carries any desired marking and / or decoration.
- the screen 31 can be opaque or translucent; its wall can, advantageously, to obtain decorative effects, be wavy, or have ribs, for example, longitudinal.

- the folded strip 32 and the strip 33 intersect in a portion of the strip 33 remote from its ends 33a and 33b.
- the straight section of the pocket is entirely contained in the straight section of the container 4, which allows and facilitates the positioning of the pocket in the container when the pocket is already full. This is one of the advantages of the pocket according to the invention.
- Said pocket can, moreover, also be filled from below; the composition and the low thickness of the complex allow, in fact, to weld the lower end of the pocket by pinching the product, present in the sheath, during welding, which ensures that there will be no air in the closed pocket. It is therefore possible to use a vacuum filling machine for the bag from the bottom.
- the welding strip 32 is located on the welding surface in an area where the radius of curvature is maximum; means for indexing the base relative to the container are provided if this indexing is not obtained automatically by the shape of their cross section.
- FIG. 5 shows a variant of a dispenser according to the invention, the container 104 of which consists of a sheath 134 made of flexible material, with shape memory, obtained by extrusion, and closed at its lower part by a bottom 105 made of rigid plastic material ; the bottom 105, attached to the sheath in the example shown and secured to it, for example by bonding or welding the end 135, may have a section different from that of the base 107 to which the end is secured sheath 134 upper container 104.
- This joining is obtained by welding the sheath 134 on a welding surface 136 of the base 107 located, on said base, above the welding range 110 of the flexible bag 102 on the base 107.
- the material of the sheath 134 may be any; as has been said about the screen 31 of Figures 1 and 3, it is advantageously chosen biodegradable.
- the base 107 has a sleeve 138, extending away from the pocket 102, on which is mounted, by clipping at 143, a dispensing head 139 whose dispensing orifice 142 is closed, at rest, by a needle 141 carried by an elastic membrane 140; a channel 144, in communication with the interior of the pocket 102, allows a distribution of the product by the dispensing orifice 142 when the latter is released by the needle 141 by action of the pressure of the product on the membrane 140; pressurizing the product is obtained by manual action on the flexible container 134 and is enabled by the presence of a bottom valve 137 cooperating with the orifice 106 for communication with the outside of the volume between the pocket 102 and inside container 134.
- the bottom 105 is replaced by a transverse weld of the bottom end of the container 104.
- Figure 6 shows a pocket 202 welded to a rigid base 207; the base 207 is provided with a neck 215 associated with a partially elastic element 250 to constitute a one-way opening valve; the element 250 comprises a hooking part 206 on a finger 214 integral with the base 207 and an elastic part 208 in the form of a frustoconical membrane bearing elastically against the bottom of the base; openings 217 allow the product to exit the bag while the membrane 208 prevents it, unless pressure is exerted on the walls of the bag; a cover 245 has, on the one hand, hooking means 246 on a circular rim 247 of the base 207 and, on the other hand, axial tongues 248 extending to the periphery of the membrane 208, so that, when the cover 245 is in place on the base 207, an action is exerted on the periphery of the membrane applied to its seat formed by the bottom of the base, thus preventing any product outlet, even if an action is exerted on the pocket
- Figure 7 shows a dispenser implementing the refill of Figure 6; after the cover 245 has been removed from the base 245, the refill is introduced into a container 204; a diaphragm pump 239, as known per se, is placed on the base 207 on which it is maintained by means of attachment means 249 carried by the neck 215 of the base, the pump itself carrying additional hanging means. It will be noted that, thanks to this arrangement, the product contained in the refill is never brought back into contact with air until its use proper.
- the diaphragm pump can also include a non-return valve 251, similar to the valve 250 carried by the base: this is the variant shown in FIG. 8.
- FIG. 9 shows another variant of a dispenser, the elements of which similar to the elements described above are designated by the same numbers of units and tens, preceded by a digit 3 of hundreds. Their description will not be repeated or will be made only succinctly.
- a container 304 There is a container 304, a flexible pocket 302 welded to a base 307 provided with an anti-prisoner member 327.
- a pump 339 with membrane M is mounted on the base. The pump body 339 can rotate, around the axis of the container 304, between a closed position and an open position.
- the pump body 339 comprises a cylindrical sleeve 360 of revolution coaxial with the container 304.
- This sleeve 360 is snapped, with the possibility of rotation about its axis, in a neck 315 cylindrical of revolution of the base 307.
- a hollow core 361 secured to the base 307 is engaged in the sleeve 360, in contact with its inner wall.
- the internal volume of the core 361 communicates with the pocket 302.
- the internal wall of the sleeve 360 has longitudinal grooves 362, regularly spaced, extending above the core 361 to open into a space 363 closed by a valve 350.
- the cylindrical wall of the core 361 has longitudinal windows 364, having the same angular spacing as the grooves 362.
- the length of the windows 364 is sufficient for them to be able to communicate with the grooves 362 when they occupy the same angular position. This corresponds to the open position of FIG. 10.
- the entire pocket and the base can be recycled for the manufacture of new bases. Indeed, the mass of the pocket is very small compared to that of the base and the amount of non-compatible material of the pocket is negligible. Manufacturing waste can therefore be reused.
