Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for dispensing a product liquid or pasty, like those with a container, for the product, provided with a neck fitted with fixing means for a pump removably installed using fixing means complementary to the pump body and suitable for cooperating with said means for fixing the neck.
  • Such a dispensing device allows the pump to be reused, on a new container, after emptying a first container.
  • the empty container should then be disposed of. It is therefore desirable that the mass of the container to be disposed of is as small as possible and that its volume can be easily reduced to reduce its size in the waste.
  • a device for dispensing a liquid product or pasty is characterized by the fact that it includes an open bottom envelope suitable for covering the container, this envelope being provided with a neck equipped with means of locking in rotation suitable for cooperating with locking means in additional rotation provided at the base of the container neck, these rotation blocking means engaging during installation of the envelope on the container, while stop means longitudinal are provided on the envelope to cooperate with, of a on the one hand, support means linked to the pump body and, on the other hand, stop means linked to the container, so that when fixing the pump on the neck of the container, the cooperation of the stop means longitudinal with the support means and the stop means ensures the longitudinal locking of the envelope relative to the container.
  • the axial length of the envelope is greater than that of the container, so that when the envelope is in place on the container, the assembly placed on a horizontal support surface rests by the lower end of the envelope while the bottom of the container is slightly moved away.
  • the container When the container is empty, it is possible to disassemble the envelope and reuse it with a new full container constituting a refill.
  • the handling of the dispensing device is secured by entering the envelope to which the container is attached.
  • the envelope can be relatively thick to ensure a rigidity of while the container, constituting a simple refill, is made with a thinner wall than that of the envelope. The result greater ease of destruction of the empty container, and a price of returns reduced.
  • the means for fixing the neck preferably consist of by an external thread provided in the upper part of the neck, while the pump body is secured, in particular by screwing or snap-fastening, a cap comprising an internal skirt provided with a thread interior constituting the additional fixing means specific to cooperate with the external thread of the neck.
  • the means for locking in rotation of the envelope neck preferably include a system of ribs (or grooves) parallel to the axis of the envelope, provided on the inner surface of the neck of the envelope, while a system of grooves (or ribs) is provided at the bottom of the container neck, the engagement of the two rib / groove systems being ensured by a simple axial displacement of the envelope relative to the container, for correct angular position.
  • the longitudinal stop means of the envelope are of preferably formed by the neck of this envelope whose end upper abuts against the support means linked to the body of pump and formed by the lower end of the internal skirt of the cap attached to the pump.
  • the stop means provided on the container, can be formed by a shoulder at the connection of the base of the neck and of the container body.
  • the invention consists, apart from the arrangements set out above, in a number of other provisions which it will be more explicit question below about an example described with reference to the attached drawing, but which is in no way limiting.
  • FIG. 1, of this drawing is an exploded perspective view, with parts torn off, from a device for dispensing liquid product or pasty according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 finally, is a vertical axial section, with parts torn from the dispensing device.
  • a dispensing device D of a liquid or pasty product which comprises a container 1, in material plastic, for the product.
  • This container 1 is in the form of a cylindrical bottle closed by a bottom 2 and provided, at its other end, a neck 3 which is connected to the wall of the container 1 by a shoulder 4 located in a plane orthogonal to the axis of the container 1.
  • the neck 3 is equipped, at its upper part, with means for fixing F consisting of an external thread 5.
  • the neck 3 comprises rotation blocking means B constituted by a system of axial grooves 6, parallel to the axis of the container 1, evenly spaced around the entire circumference.
  • a pump 7 is installed on the neck 3, so removable.
  • the pump 7, of manual type comprises a head 8 orientable provided with a piston rod 9 suitable for sliding in a body pump 10.
  • the actuation of the head 8, by axial displacement, allows the distribution of the product.
  • the pump body 10 is extended, towards the bottom 2 of the bottle, by a dip tube 11.
  • This pump body 10 is secured, in particular by snap-fastening or screwing, to a cap 12 of cylindrical shape turning its concavity downwards.
  • Hood 12 has an internal skirt 13 provided with fixing means F ' complementary to the fixing means F.
  • the means F ' are constituted, in the example considered, by an internal thread 14 suitable for cooperating with the external thread 5 of the neck 3.
  • the wall cylindrical outer 15 of the cap 12 extends, axially, beyond the lower end of the skirt 13.
  • the device D comprises an envelope 16, with an open bottom, suitable for covering the container 1.
  • This envelope of cylindrical shape, whose cross section is similar to that of container 1 but slightly larger, has a smaller collar 17 diameter, connected to the main wall of the envelope by a shoulder 18 transverse, the mean plane of which is orthogonal to the axis of the envelope 16.
  • the neck 17 is equipped, on its internal surface, with locking means in rotation B 'complementary to the means B provided at the base of the neck 3.
  • the blocking means B ' are advantageously constituted by axial ribs 19 complementary to the grooves 6, and clean to engage in these grooves by a simple movement of axial sliding, for a correct relative angular position of envelope 16 and container 1.
  • the axial length of the neck 17 is sufficient for the end upper neck is located beyond the upper end of the grooves 6, when the shoulders 4 and 18 are in contact with one another the other.
  • the neck 17 constitutes longitudinal stop means specific to cooperate, by the upper end 20 of the neck 17, with means support 21 linked to the pump body 10 and constituted by the end lower of the skirt 13.
  • the collar 17, by its lower end situated in the shoulder 18, is suitable for cooperating with stop means 22 formed by the upper surface of the shoulder 4 of the container.
  • the cylindrical envelope 16, made of plastic, is rigid, of sufficient thickness.
  • This envelope 16 has on its surface exterior all indications, inscriptions, decorations desired.
  • the container 1 which constitutes a simple refill does not need to present a desired aesthetic appearance.
  • the thickness of this container 1 can be reduced, for example of the order of 0.3 mm since this container is not directly held in the hand and does not have to be presented minimum rigidity.
  • the container 1 can be made of polyethylene with a wall thickness of around 0.3 mm, instead of 1 mm habitually. This container 1 can, for example, be of a capacity of 750 ml.
  • the use of the dispensing device according to the invention is the following.
  • the user threads the envelope 16 around the container 1, whose neck 3 is open, as illustrated in FIG. 1.
  • the user may have to perform a slight rotational movement of the envelope 16 relative to the container 1 to correctly present the ribs 19 opposite the grooves 6 and to ensure their mutual engagement.
  • the user blocks, between the stop means 22 and the lower end 21 of the skirt 13, the neck 17 of the envelope 16 which, moreover, is immobilized in rotation relative to the container 1.
  • the assembly rests by the lower end of the casing 1 on a horizontal support surface S (see FIG. 2), while the bottom 2 of the container is slightly apart from this surface S.
  • the user unscrews the cap 12 relative to the container 1.
  • the envelope 16 is raised, and the container 1 is released. He can be then replaced by another full container.
