  • Figure 6 is a perspective and exploded view showing the parts of the packaging according to the invention, which are involved in closing the packaging at its upper end.

    • En se reportant aux figures, on constate que l'emballage distributeur représenté à titre d'exemple et notamment conçu pour un produit pâteux quelconque en forme de bâtonnet tel qu'un bâtonnet de déodorant, comprend essentiellement un corps creux extérieur 1, de forme allongée cylindrique à section transversale ovale, un corps intérieur 2, en forme d'une douille destiné à être placé à l'intérieur du corps 1 et également de forme ovale, un capuchon 3 destiné à fermer de façon étanche l'emballage à son extrémité supérieure, un piston 4 déplaçable axialement à l'intérieur du corps interne 2 et également de forme ovale et destiné à porter le bâtonnet (non représenté) ainsi qu'un agencement 5 qui est monté dans l'extrémité inférieure de l'emballage et adapté pour fermer celui-ci de façon étanche à cette extrémité et assurer le déplacement axial du piston 4. Les différentes pièces qui constituent l'emballage sont avantageusement réalisées en matière plastique de toute nature appropriée en fonction de la rigidité souhaitée.Referring to the figures, it can be seen that the distributor packaging shown as an example and in particular designed for any pasty product in stick shape such as a deodorant stick, essentially comprises an outer hollow body 1, of elongated cylindrical shape with cross section oval, an inner body 2, in the form of a socket intended to be placed inside the body 1 and also of oval shape, a cap 3 intended for seal the packaging at its end upper, a piston 4 movable axially to inside the internal body 2 and also shaped oval and intended to carry the stick (not shown) as well as an arrangement 5 which is mounted in the end bottom of the packaging and suitable for closing it tightly at this end and secure the axial displacement of the piston 4. The different parts which constitute the packaging are advantageously made of plastic of all kinds appropriate according to the desired stiffness.

    L'agencement 5 présente une structure relativement complexe, comme il ressort notamment des figures 4 et 5. Il comprend notamment un dispositif de déplacement axial en translation du piston 4, qui comporte une vis 9 s'étendant dans l'axe de l'emballage et pourvue à son extrémité inférieure d'un moyeu 10 en forme d'une couronne 11 rendue solidaire en rotation de la vis par des rayons 12, et une molette creuse 13 de forme cylindrique à section transversale circulaire, fermée en bas par une paroi de fond 16 et ouverte en haut, solidarisable en rotation du moyeu circulaire 10 et adaptée pour loger, de façon étanche, l'extrémité inférieure du corps interne 2 qui comprend à cette fin une portion cylindrique 14.Arrangement 5 has a relatively structure complex, as can be seen in particular from FIGS. 4 and 5. It includes in particular a displacement device axial in translation of the piston 4, which comprises a screw 9 extending in the axis of the packaging and provided with its lower end of a hub 10 in the form of a crown 11 made integral in rotation with the screw by spokes 12, and a hollow wheel 13 of shape cylindrical with circular cross section, closed at the bottom by a bottom wall 16 and open at the top, integral in rotation with the circular hub 10 and adapted to seal the end lower inner body 2 which includes for this purpose a cylindrical portion 14.

    Plus précisément, la molette 13 comprend une couronne interne coaxiale 15 qui s'étend à partir de la paroi de fond 16 et est pourvue d'encoches axiales 17 destinées à recevoir chacune un rayon 12 du moyeu 10 lorsque ce dernier s'engage dans l'espace annulaire 19 formé entre la paroi externe 20 de la molette et la couronne 15. Comme le montre notamment les figures 1 à 3, c'est dans cet espace annulaire 19 aussi que s'engage la portion inférieure circulaire 14 du corps interne 2. Cette portion 14 porte sur sa surface périphérique externe un certain nombre de collerettes 22 coaxiales et axialement écartées qui constituent des lèvres d'étanchéité et viennent en contact avec la surface interne de la paroi 20 de la molette. Pour assurer l'assemblage de la molette 13 sur la portion 14 du corps interne, la molette comprend à son extrémité supérieure ouverte une nervure 23 qui fait radialement saillie vers l'intérieur et s'engage dans une rainure complémentaire circulaire 24 pratiquée dans la portion 14 au niveau de la naissance de celle-ci. Cette portion 14 comprend en outre, à son extrémité inférieure ouverte, une nervure 25 qui fait radialement saillie vers l'intérieur et s'engage dans une nervure complémentaire 26 pratiquée dans la surface périphérique externe du moyeu 10 et délimitée vers l'extrémité par une collerette d'assemblage 27 qui fait radialement saillie vers l'extérieur. L'extrémité supérieure du moyeu porte également un épaulement 29 qui fait radialement saillie vers l'extérieur et s'engage dans un évidement circulaire 30 du corps interne 2. Concernant la molette 13, il est encore à indiquer qu'elle porte sur la surface périphérique externe des éléments axiaux 31 en forme de dents qui sont régulièrement réparties autour de la périphérie et constituent des éléments permettant l'entraínement en rotation de la molette.More specifically, the wheel 13 includes a crown internal coaxial 15 which extends from the wall of bottom 16 and is provided with axial notches 17 intended to each receive a spoke 12 from the hub 10 when this last engages in the annular space 19 formed between the outer wall 20 of the wheel and the crown 15. As shown in particular in Figures 1 to 3, it is in this annular space 19 also that engages the portion circular lower part 14 of the internal body 2. This portion 14 carries on its external peripheral surface a number of coaxial flanges 22 and axially spaced apart which constitute lips sealing and come into contact with the surface internal of the wall 20 of the wheel. To ensure assembly of the wheel 13 on the portion 14 of the internal body, the wheel includes at its end upper open a rib 23 which makes radially protrudes inward and engages in a groove circular supplement 24 practiced in the portion 14 at the level of its birth. This portion 14 further includes, at its lower end open, a rib 25 which projects radially inward and engages in a rib complementary 26 practiced in the surface external peripheral of the hub 10 and delimited towards the end by an assembly flange 27 which makes radially projecting outwards. The end upper of the hub also carries a shoulder 29 which protrudes radially outwards and engages in a circular recess 30 in the body internal 2. Regarding wheel 13, it is still indicate that it relates to the peripheral surface external axial elements 31 in the form of teeth which are regularly distributed around the periphery and constitute elements allowing training in rotation of the wheel.

    Le dispositif d'entraínement en rotation de la molette 13 comprend un ruban 33 sans fin qui constitue une boucle en un matériau souple et entoure l'extrémité inférieure du corps externe 1. Ce dernier comprend à cette fin une rainure de guidage périphérique 34 dans lequel le ruban 33 est engagé et guidé pour pouvoir exécuter un déplacement en direction de son axe longitudinal dans le sens de la double flèche F1. Le ruban porte sur sa surface interne des éléments en saillie 36 en forme de dents qui s'étendent parallèlement aux dents 31 de la molette 13 et constituent une denture complémentaire à celle de la molette pour pouvoir engrèner celle-ci. Pour que la denture 36 du ruban 33 puisse venir en engagement avec la denture 31 de la molette 13, la paroi formant le fond de la rainure de guidage 34 comprend au niveau du petit axe deux lumières 38. Comme le montre notamment la figure 4, lorsque la molette 13 est introduite à travers l'ouverture circulaire 39 pratiquée dans la paroi de fermeture ovale 40 de l'extrémité inférieure du corps externe 1, de façon que sa paroi de fond 16 se trouve dans le plan de la paroi 40, l'engagement mutuel des dentures 36 et 31 respectivement du ruban 33 et de la molette 13 est assuré. Lorsque l'on déplace le ruban sur l'extrémité inférieure du corps 1, celui-ci entraíne en rotation la molette 13, ce qui provoque la rotation de la vis 9 et ainsi le déplacement axial du piston 4.The rotary wheel drive device 13 includes an endless ribbon 33 which constitutes a loop of flexible material and surrounds the end lower of the external body 1. The latter comprises this end a peripheral guide groove 34 in which the ribbon 33 is engaged and guided to be able execute a movement towards its axis longitudinal in the direction of the double arrow F1. The ribbon carries elements on its internal surface protrusion 36 in the form of teeth which extend parallel to the teeth 31 of the wheel 13 and constitute a toothing complementary to that of the wheel to be able to mesh it. So that the toothing 36 of the ribbon 33 can come into engagement with the teeth 31 of the wheel 13, the wall forming the bottom of the guide groove 34 comprises at the level of the minor axis two lights 38. As shown in particular Figure 4, when the wheel 13 is introduced at through the circular opening 39 made in the oval closure wall 40 of the lower end of the external body 1, so that its bottom wall 16 is found in the plane of wall 40, mutual engagement teeth 36 and 31 respectively of the ribbon 33 and the wheel 13 is assured. When we move the ribbon on the lower end of the body 1, this one rotates the wheel 13, which causes the rotation of the screw 9 and thus the axial displacement of the piston 4.

    En se reportant aux figures 1 et 2 et 6, on constate que le capuchon 3 présente également une forme ovale correspondant à celle de l'extrémité supérieure du corps interne 2 pour pouvoir être emmanchée sur celle-ci dans sa position de fermeture. Le dispositif 7 de verrouillage du capuchon 3 dans sa position de fermeture comprend essentiellement un ruban sans fin 42, en forme d'une boucle, réalisé en un matériau souple et placé dans une rainure annulaire 43 qui est pratiqué dans la surface périphérique extérieure de la paroi du capuchon et s'étend perpendiculairement à l'axe de l'emballage tout autour du capuchon. Ce ruban comprend sur sa surface interne, disposées en vis-à-vis, deux rampes 44 de verrouillage destinées à coopérer avec deux rampes complémentaires 45 qui font saillie de la surface périphérique extérieure du corps interne 2 de façon à pouvoir coopérer avec les rampes 44 lors du déplacement du ruban 42 dans la direction de la double flèche F2. Pour que les rampes 44 et 45 puissent venir en engagement mutuel, le fond de l'évidement périphérique de guidage 43 du capuchon 3 comporte deux lumières 46 d'une longueur périphérique et d'une largeur appropriée.Referring to Figures 1 and 2 and 6, we see that the cap 3 also has an oval shape corresponding to that of the upper end of the internal body 2 to be able to be fitted thereon in its closed position. Device 7 of locking the cap 3 in its position closure basically includes an endless ribbon 42, in the form of a loop, made of a material flexible and placed in an annular groove 43 which is practiced in the outer peripheral surface of the wall of the cap and extends perpendicular to the axis of the packaging all around the cap. This ribbon comprises on its internal surface, arranged opposite, two locking ramps 44 intended for cooperate with two complementary ramps 45 which make protrusion from the outer peripheral surface of the body internal 2 so as to be able to cooperate with the ramps 44 when moving the ribbon 42 in the direction of the double arrow F2. So that ramps 44 and 45 may come in mutual engagement, the bottom of the peripheral guide recess 43 of the cap 3 has two lights 46 of peripheral length and of an appropriate width.

    Les rampes 44 et 45 comportent chacune une portion circonférentielle respectivement 48 et 49 et une portion respectivement 50 et 51 qui s'étend parallèlement à l'axe de l'emballage. Les zones d'extrémité libres des portions circonférentielles 48 et 49 des rampes 44 et 45 présentent un profil incliné de façon que le déplacement du ruban 42 en direction de la flèche F2 provoque, après la mise en place du capuchon 3 sur l'extrémité du corps interne et l'engagement mutuel des rampes, un déplacement axial du capuchon sur l'extrémité du corps 2, dans une direction jusqu'au verrouillage du capuchon et dans l'autre direction jusqu'à une position permettant le dégagement du capuchon. Les portions 50 et 51 des rampes déterminent les positions extrêmes du déplacement du ruban.The ramps 44 and 45 each have a portion circumferential 48 and 49 respectively and a portion respectively 50 and 51 which extends parallel to the axis of the packaging. Areas free end of the circumferential portions 48 and 49 of the ramps 44 and 45 have an inclined profile so that the displacement of the ribbon 42 towards arrow F2 causes, after the installation of the cap 3 on the end of the internal body and the mutual engagement of the ramps, an axial displacement of the cap on end of body 2, in one direction until the cap is locked and in the other steering to a position allowing clearance of the cap. The sections 50 and 51 of the ramps determine the extreme positions of the displacement of the ribbon.

    Il est à noter que pour assurer la fermeture étanche du capuchon, l'extrémité supérieure de celui-ci est adaptée pour qu'elle s'applique à force contre la face interne au niveau du fond du capuchon.It should be noted that to ensure the watertight closure of the cap, the top end of it is adapted so that it presses against the face internal at the bottom of the cap.

    Concernant le fonctionnement de l'emballage du distributeur, il ressort de la description qui précède, que pour le déplacement axial du piston 4 porteur du bâtonnet de produit cosmétique et pour le verrouillage du capuchon il suffit de déplacer de façon appropriée respectivement les rubans 33 et 42. Etant donné que les rubans sont souples, l'emballage peut avoir une autre forme que la forme circulaire des emballages habituels et aussi une autre forme que la forme ovale de l'emballage qui vient d'être décrit en se référant aux figures.Regarding the functioning of the packaging of the distributor, it appears from the above description, as for the axial displacement of the piston 4 carrying the cosmetic and locking stick of the cap just move it appropriately ribbons 33 and 42 respectively. Since the ribbons are flexible, the packaging may have another shape than the circular shape of the usual packaging and also a shape other than the oval shape of the packaging which has just been described with reference to figures.

    Etant donné que les différentes pièces constitutives de l'emballage sont réalisées en matière plastique, toutes les saillies, nervures, rainures et dents ou analogues peuvent être réalisés lors du moulage de ces pièces. La configuration des pièces, telle qu'elle est représentée permet un assemblage aisé de l'emballage et la réalisation du bâtonnet pâteux par moulage à l'intérieur de l'emballage en introduisant le produit à partir de l'extrémité inférieure avant la mise en place de la molette 13 qui constitue également le bouchon de fermeture de l'emballage. Bien entendu, le capuchon 3 aura été verrouillé auparavant dans sa position de fermeture étanche sur le corps creux de l'emballage. Concernant les rubans verrous, ils sont réalisés avantageusement en élastomère ou en matériau thermoplastique souple et portent sur leurs surfaces extérieures de godrons ergonomiques.Since the various constituent parts of the packaging is made of plastic, all protrusions, ribs, grooves and teeth or the like can be made during the molding of these parts. The room configuration, as shown allows easy assembly of the packaging and the making the pasty stick by molding inside the packaging by introducing the product to from the lower end before placement wheel 13 which also constitutes the plug closing the packaging. Of course, the cap 3 will have been previously locked in its position watertight closure on the hollow body of the packaging. Regarding the lock ribbons, they are made advantageously made of elastomer or material flexible thermoplastic and wear on their surfaces exterior of ergonomic gadroons.
