Definitions

  • the invention relates to a combination of a battery of containers, of the vial type, joined to each other by connecting means which can be easily fractured, with their parallel axes, in particular situated in the same plane, and of a bar of caps joined to each other by connecting means which can also be easily fractured, in an arrangement similar to that of the containers, so that the bar of caps can be put in place on the necks of the containers of the battery by a translational movement parallel to the axes of the containers.
  • the invention relates more particularly, but not exclusively, to such a combination for packaging a series of mini-bottles intended to contain a small quantity of dye, of a dye shampoo, so that the user can carry out, on a part of the skin, a touch of allergy test.
  • These mini-bottles are attached to the packaging of the coloring shampoo or dye itself.
  • FR-A-2 482 566 shows a combination of containers and caps of the kind defined above, combination in which the containers are previously sealed with a capsule before the establishment of a bar of overcaps, each elementary overcap covering a capsule the container.
  • French patent FR-A-1,211,229 describes the combination of a battery of containers and a bar of closure elements mentioned in the preamble of claim 1.
  • a method of manufacturing was proposed.
  • the capsules intended to close the mouths of these tubes are also produced by molding and form a sub-assembly in which the capsules are connected together by thin rods, the relative positioning of the capsules being due to their introduction into the tubes of the sub- set of tubes with which they cooperate.
  • the placement of the capsules in the tubes is ensured without clipping.
  • the tube is opened by a pulling movement on the capsule to remove it by translation. There is therefore, in this document, no indication allowing a latching of the closure element with suitable orientation of latching means having a limited angular extent.
  • French patent FR-A-1 251 707 describes a container and a cap corresponding to the preamble of claim 8.
  • This patent relates to a bottle stopper which can be put in place by snap-fastening on the neck of the bottle and which can be removed by a rotational movement.
  • the plug has on the inner surface of its cylindrical wall projections coming to snap behind a helical thread of the neck.
  • the plug has at its base an annular bead which snaps behind a ring completely surrounding the neck; the withdrawal of the plug is obtained by rotation by making a boss provided at the end of the neck cooperate with a boss provided in the plug.
  • the locking of the stopper is obtained without prior angular positioning of the stopper with respect to the bottle and when the stopper is snapped in, it is not locked in the angular position. None therefore makes it possible to angularly position the stopper relative to the bottle in order to snap onto a snap-fastening means of limited angular extent.
  • the object of the invention is, above all, to provide a combination of the kind defined above in which the operations for plugging the containers are as rapid as possible.

  • the clipping means comprise, on the side of the container, at least one portion of projecting helical thread, provided on the neck of the container, with stopper at each end of the portion of thread, while the cap comprises at least one clean notch to snap behind the portion of the net, being housed between the stops.
  • each cap has, on its wall, above the notch, a window increasing the elasticity of the wall in this zone to facilitate its deformation during the clipping of the bar of caps on the battery of containers.
  • the thread portion of the neck of the container is bordered upward by an inclined surface while the underside of the notch of the cap is bordered by an inclined wall intended to cooperate with the said inclined surface.
  • each cap comprises at least one clean male ramp to come, after clipping, above the portion of thread provided on the neck of the container, the cooperation of this ramp and the thread, during a rotational movement, raising the cap relative to the container, while the stops are crossed by the notch of the cap, which elastically deforms.
  • An internal skirt is provided under the cover of each cap, to engage, by translation, in a sealed manner, inside the neck of the associated container.
  • the clipping means are diametrically opposite on the necks of the containers and on the caps and are arranged symmetrically with respect to the plane of the axes of the receptacles of the battery.
  • the invention also relates to the assembly of a container, of the vial type, and of a cap, the container comprising, on its neck, at least one portion of protruding net, said cap comprising at least one clean notch. to be snapped under the portion of net carried by the neck of the container, said cap being able to be separated from the container by a rotational movement, characterized in that the portion of net carried by the neck of the container comprises a stopper stop at each of its ends, the notch of the cap being adapted to snap into being housed between said stops, the cap having on its wall, above the notch, a window and at least one clean male ramp to come, after clipping, above the portion of net provided on the neck of the container.
  • Figure 1 of these drawings is an elevational view of a battery of containers constituted by mini-bottles and the cap strip, before clipping.
  • Figure 2 is a vertical axial section on a larger scale of a cap.
  • Figure 3 is an elevational view, on a larger scale, of a container.
  • Figure 4 is a view along line IV-IV of Figure 2.
  • Figure 5 is a section along line V-V in Figure 2.
  • Figure 6 is a vertical axial section of the container.
  • Figure 7 is a view along line VII-VII of Figure 6.
  • a battery 1 of containers 2 can be seen consisting of reduced-size bottles or mini-bottles, intended for packaging the quantity necessary for the allergy test key of a coloring shampoo .
