Description

L'invention traite d'un "SYSTEME DE REMPLISSAGE DE POTS DE CREMES COSMETIQUES ET SIMILAIRES"The invention relates to a "SYSTEM FOR FILLING JARS OF COSMETIC AND SIMILAR CREAMS"

Les crèmes cosmétiques sous forme de pâte semi-fluide sont généralement contenues dans des récipients constitués par des pots esthétiques en matière rigide, que l'on ferme en général au moyen de couvercles vissés au-dessous desquels on inclut en supplément un opercule ayant des fonctions d'étanchéité et servant à séparer la crème du couvercle vissé.Cosmetic creams in the form of semi-fluid paste are generally contained in containers constituted by esthetic jars in rigid material, which one generally closes by means of screwed covers below which one includes in addition a cover having functions sealant and used to separate the cream from the screw cap.

On obtient ainsi un conditionnement attrayant et sûr des crèmes précitées mais il arrive que le remplissage des pots conteneurs soit trop coûteux en raison de la nécessité de manipuler les obturateurs et les couvercles vissés, et des difficultés que ceci entraîne, surtout pour un processus automatisé.This produces an attractive and safe packaging of the aforementioned creams, but it can happen that the filling of the container jars is too expensive because of the need to handle the shutters and the screwed lids, and the difficulties that this entails, especially for an automated process.

Pour remédier à cet inconvénient, selon l'objet de l'invention, on propose une nouvelle solution de remplissage des pots de crème précités, qui est basée sur un système avec lequel on obtient des caractéristiques particulièrement avantageuses comparativement au procédé traditionnel.To overcome this drawback, according to the subject of the invention, a new solution for filling the aforementioned pots of cream is proposed, which is based on a system with which particularly advantageous characteristics are obtained compared to the traditional process.

Ce système objet de l'invention consiste essentiellement dans la formation d'un orifice de remplissage dans le fond des pots et dans l'introduction du produit à travers ledit orifice au moyen d'un alimentateur approprié, avec le pot fermée et en position retournée, en vue de la mise en place ultérieure d'un bouchon obturateur dans l'orifice de remplissage, étant prévu que ledit bouchon est muni d'un étranglement de rupture pour éviter son extraction.This system which is the subject of the invention essentially consists in the formation of a filling orifice in the bottom of the pots and in the introduction of the product through said orifice by means of an appropriate feeder, with the pot closed and in the inverted position. , for the subsequent installation of a plug closure in the filling orifice, provided that said plug is provided with a breaking throttle to prevent its extraction.

On obtient de cette façon un système très simple à exécuter, avec lequel il n'est pas nécessaire de manipuler des éléments vissés, puisqu'il est seulement nécessaire de mettre en place les bouchons obturateurs, lesquels se montent simplement par pression, en facilitant de cette façon la réalisation du processus de remplissage des pots et son déroulement automatisé, avec un grand avantage économique et une éventuelle amélioration considérable de la production.In this way, a very simple system to be obtained is obtained, with which it is not necessary to handle screwed elements, since it is only necessary to put in place the plugs, which are simply assembled by pressure, facilitating this way the completion of the jar filling process and its automated process, with great economic advantage and possible considerable improvement in production.

Et d'un autre côté, le remplissage s'effectuant par le fond des pots et par un orifice de dimension réduite, on évite qu'il subsiste des chambres d'air et, dans le cas où il reste des bulles, celles-ci se trouvent au fond, étant recouvertes par la crème, sans pouvoir être décelées lorsqu'on procède à l'ouverture du pot.And on the other hand, the filling being carried out by the bottom of the pots and by an orifice of reduced size, one avoids that there remain air chambers and, in the case where bubbles remain, these are at the bottom, being covered by the cream, without being able to be detected when the jar is opened.

Avec tout ceci, ce système objet de l'invention apporte sans contredit des caractéristiques très avantageuses qui lui confèrent une vie propre et un caractère préférentiel, pour la fonction mentionnée de remplissage de pots de crème à laquelle il est destiné.With all this, this system which is the subject of the invention undoubtedly provides very advantageous characteristics which give it a life of its own and a preferential character, for the mentioned function of filling jars of cream for which it is intended.

Pour mieux comprendre la nature de l'invention, nous représentons aux dessins annexés à titre d'exemple purement illustratif et non limitatif, une forme préférée de réalisation industrielle, à laquelle nous nous reportons dans notre description. Et sur ces dessins.To better understand the nature of the invention, we show in the accompanying drawings by way of purely illustrative and nonlimiting example, a preferred industrial embodiment, to which we refer in our description. And on these drawings.

La figure 1 représente la coupe d'un pot de crème, en phase de remplissage conformément au système préconisé.Figure 1 shows the section of a jar of cream, in the filling phase according to the recommended system.

La figure 2 est une représentation du pot déjà plein, avec le bouchon obturateur de l'orifice de remplissage en position pour être mis en place.Figure 2 is a representation of the already full pot, with the shutter plug of the filling orifice in position to be put in place.

La figure 3 est une représentation analogue à la figure antérieure, avec le bouchon obturateur déjà mis en place dans le pot.Figure 3 is a representation similar to the previous figure, with the shutter plug already in place in the pot.

The subject of the invention relates to a system of filling of jars containing cosmetic creams and the like, according to which system the jars (1) to be filled are provided with an orifice (2) in the bottom, for the introduction of the product (3).

De cette façon, l'opération de remplissage peut s'effectuer à travers l'orifice (2) précité, au moyen d'une douille (4) qui s'adapte à cet orifice et qui peut être raccordée à un conduit alimentateur (5), de telle sorte que ladite opération de remplissage s'effectue avec le pot (1) en position retournée, la masse du produit montant exactement jusqu'au fond, de sorte qu'on évite la création de poches ou chambres d'air dans la zone de l'embouchure, et, au cas éventuel où il reste une bulle, celle-ci est située au fond du récipient, où elle n'est pas décelée lorsqu'on procède à l'ouverture, en améliorant par conséquent la présentation du produit conditionné.In this way, the filling operation can be carried out through the aforementioned orifice (2), by means of a socket (4) which adapts to this orifice and which can be connected to a supply duct (5 ), so that said filling operation is carried out with the pot (1) in the inverted position, the mass of the product rising exactly to the bottom, so that the creation of pockets or air chambers in the mouth area, and, in the event that there is a bubble, it is located at the bottom of the container, where it is not detected when the opening is carried out, thereby improving the presentation of the packaged product.

En outre, avec ce système, le remplissage s'effectue avec l'opercule obturateur (6) et le couvercle vissé (7) incorporés dans leur disposition montée sur le pot (1), ce qui fait qu'il n'est pas nécessaire de manipuler ultérieurement lesdites pièces, en simplifiant ainsi le processus séquentiel des opérations nécessaires, et la possibilité de déroulement automatisé de ces opérations.In addition, with this system, the filling is carried out with the sealing cap (6) and the screwed cover (7) incorporated in their arrangement mounted on the pot (1), which means that it is not necessary to later manipulate said parts, thereby simplifying the sequential process of the necessary operations, and the possibility of automated sequence of these operations.

La fermeture du pot (1), selon ce système objet de l'invention, s'effectue par obturation de l'orifice (2) de remplissage, avec un bouchon (8) qui se monte simplement par pression, d'une façon très facile au moyen d'une opération automatique ; étant prévue la particularité consistant en ce que le bouchon obturateur (8) mentionné est muni d'un étranglement (9), de sorte que, si, une fois mis en place dans le pot (1), on cherche à l'extraire, l'affaiblissement que l'étranglement (9) précité définit dans sa zone fait que la rupture se produit, ce qui détermine une certitude d'inviolabilité, constituant une garantie de l'authenticité du produit (3) conditionné.The pot (1) is closed, according to this system which is the subject of the invention, by closing the filling orifice (2), with a plug (8) which is simply assembled by pressure, in a very easy by automatic operation; being provided the feature consisting in that the blanking plug (8) mentioned is provided with a constriction (9), so that, if, once put in place in the pot (1), one seeks to extract it, the weakening that the aforementioned constriction (9) defines in its area causes the rupture to occur, which determines a certainty of inviolability, constituting a guarantee of the authenticity of the packaged product (3).

Le système permet en outre que le pot (1) puisse être éventuellement recouvert d'une pellicule plastifiée dans une phase finale, pour une meilleure protection générale et une présentation plus acceptable de l'article.The system also allows the pot (1) to be optionally covered with a plastic film in a final phase, for better general protection and a more acceptable presentation of the article.

La nature de la présente invention étant ainsi décrite suffisamment, de même que sa réalisation industrielle, il suffit d'ajouter qu'il est possible d'introduire dans son ensemble et dans ses parties constitutives des changements de forme, de matière et de disposition sans sortir du cadre de l'invention, dans la mesure où ces altérations n'altèrent pas son principe.The nature of the present invention being thus described sufficiently, as well as its industrial realization, it suffices to add that it is possible to introduce as a whole and in its constituent parts changes of shape, material and arrangement without depart from the scope of the invention, insofar as these alterations do not alter its principle.
