Definitions
- the present invention relates to the packaging of products both liquids that are more or less pasty or creamy inside a dispenser having a rigid envelope provided with a dispenser allowing to expel its content dose after dose.
- the envelope serving as a container, is commonly closed by the distributor; this includes a mechanism enclosed in a tubular body with lower grip and action controlled, against a spring return, on a hollow rod projecting upwards which also serves as an ejection duct or sprinkler. It can be a valve, the product being then expelled as and when of the use by pressure of a gas initially introduced. It can also be a axial piston pump driven by the nozzle, intended to extract the desired dose of produced by the depression that the rise of its piston creates in its room internally before its descent drives this dose outward. To rebalance the pressure inside the container the pump then has a concealed vent at the rest by the piston but allowing limited air intake during each use.
- the product is often contained not directly in the rigid envelope but in a flexible pocket sheltered at inside and having a mouthpiece connected to the distributor, the casing forming only case.
- This provision aims in particular to protect the quality of this product during long term storage; in particular, when the dispenser is a pump, it keeps the product away from air like avoiding the evaporation of volatile constituents.
- distributor and flexible pocket are connected by a sleeve forming a ring which has a cylindrical skirt attached to a high belt; the mouth of the pocket is fixed sealingly on the skirt, this part at least of the tubular body of the distributor penetrating the belt in order to adapt in turn in a leaktight manner.
- the socket advantageously has a centering and support attached to the belt: after inserting the pocket into the case, this flange allows it to rest on the mouth of the latter to inject the product. Then come the distributor, a pump in this case.
- the fixing of this distributor on the sleeve and that of the assembly on the mouth of the case can resort to all kinds of organs using connection means various such as a face, a double tight fitting, etc.
- the distributor is then without vent; but, so as to let the pocket retract as and when extraction of the product by this pump without creating a vacuum in space left free between it and the case, under the socket, this space is vented by a channel, orifice or balancing channel, open on the case or under the socket (FR-A- 26 85 285).
- the invention relates to an improvement of these dispensers to flexible pocket fitted with a dosing pump. It is based on the reflection that the product conservation can still be improved because the presence of a permanent communication between the intermediate space and the atmosphere remains a of the causes of its aging, since the waterproofing of the bag is not not absolute.
- the waterproof adaptation belt of the socket on the lower part of the body is in the form of a collar reducer and the lower part of the body fits tightly by simple friction tightening on the internal cylindrical seat of the belt.
- the counter flange is an integral part of the closing collar of the pump body while the support flange has a cylindrical inner face bearing ribs centering the pump in the initial installation position.
- the pump outlet is located directly at its end. lower, while the socket forms below an inlet grid having, in addition to the lateral sampling holes, a central hole which supports a tube or drain.
- connection ring of the socket carries a tight safety valve from the inside to the outside and constituted by tight fitting of two elementary parts.
- the rim of the internal part constitutes the beveled seat of the valve, its valve being made up of a disc connected on the periphery of its tapered to the outer part by an elastically perforated crown deformable and provided with a pusher leaving channels in contact with the pump for the passage of the product.
- the peripheral zone surrounding the pump and the bag, communication with the vent is filled with an inert gas.
- Another object of the invention is a method of packaging dispenser of the type mentioned above, characterized in that only after setting place the socket and fill the pocket, we put a pump at the inlet of this sleeve, we place the whole under vacuum to purge the pocket, we push the friction pump in the waterproof adapter belt of the sleeve, we do penetrate a gas in the peripheral zone surrounding the pump and the bag, we seal finally the pump on the case.
- the pump is of a model with vent and it is under this vent that the socket connects to it in a leaktight manner; above the vent at on the contrary, a counter-flange tightly links the casing of the pump to the case, creating above the socket, around the pump body and in relation to the vent, a second intermediate space; a free passage makes the two communicate intermediate spaces, between the two antero-internal and postero-external faces of this socket, recreating this unique peripheral zone.
- This area is not so vented only temporarily during each use, by the vent of the pump, which is enough, through the upper space, to balance the space lower middle, surrounding the pocket, while reducing exchanges to nothing gaseous that the existence of it could let subsist between the atmosphere and the product.
- an inert gas such as nitrogen
- the dispenser shown in the figures comprises a bottle 1 , the mouth of which, assumed here to be circular, receives a socket 2 (FIG. 1a, right part and FIG. 1b) essentially composed of two concentric rings.
- the first constitutes a tight connection ring; it is a ferrule forming in the upper part a belt 2a which extends downwards into a skirt 2b ; the latter supports the flexible bag 3 intended to contain the product P and the mouth of which, threaded over it, is fixed in a sealed manner on its external face.
- the second here comprises a cylindrical ferrule 2c , wider than the skirt 2b , attached in the lower part to the upper edge of the belt 2a by a projection 2d , and provided in the upper part with a collar 2e ; centering and thus resting on the mouth of the bottle 1 , it serves as a support flange.
- the sleeve 2 is crossed here by three gills 2f conventionally obtained by penetration of the injection molds.
- the socket 2 receives a distributor pump 4 , of known type, shown in full section on view 1a (left part), only partial on view 1b.
- the tubular body 5 of this pump formed of two successive shrouds of decreasing diameters, carries a ball inlet valve 5a and its lower orifice 5b is connected to an intake tube 5c .
- a collar 7 crimped onto its bead 5d retains the piston 6 therein, the hollow rod 6a passing through the collar to form a nozzle.
- the piston 6 carries a sliding sleeve 6b which serves both as a seal and as an exhaust valve valve and which is recalled by a spring. At rest, the piston 6 , which a spring 6c returns upwards, also makes a seal on the flange 7 by means of an annular seal 8 . But a vent hole 5e passes through the wall of the body 5 in the upper part, above the sleeve 6b .
- the lower ferrule of the pump body adapts tightly, preferably by simple tightening on the internal cylindrical seat of the belt 2a , thus isolating it from the outside the product P contained in the bag 3 .
- the tight fixing of the latter on the skirt 2b is therefore advantageously by gluing or along a double weld line 3a placed outside the belt area of the lower shell of the pump body to avoid deforming the plastic parts. in this area.
- the flange opens out into a counter-flange 7a which will be crimped onto the ring 1a of the bottle 1 , thus enclosing the collar 2e of the sleeve, which therefore serves as a tight seal.
- the profiles of the pump body and of the socket correspond, the well formed by the ferrule 2c allowing to remain, if necessary thanks to a groove 5f made on a thickening of the external face of the upper ferrule of the pump body up to 1 'vent 5e , an intermediate space 1b between the two parts, above the sleeve 2 but under the flange 7 .
- the intermediate space 1c left between it and the pocket 3 is normally closed, but it is put in temporary communication with the atmosphere by the channel of the gills 2f , of the space 1b and of the vent 5e each time that a pressure on its rod 6a takes off the piston 6 from the seal 8 ; this allows the pressure to be balanced during each action on the pump without creating real air renewal.
- the sleeve 2 carrying the coiled pocket 3 is placed on the bottle 1 ; a filling nozzle is introduced there and is fitted onto the belt 2a , injects the product, causing the bag to inflate, then withdraws; the pump 4 is then placed as view 1a shows in phantom.
- the assembly can then be purged inside a vacuum chamber, the peripheral zone or the pocket still communicating directly with this chamber by the gills 2f or the interior of the skirt 2b then by the space 1b according to the double arrow V ; to facilitate this operation ribs centering the pump halfway can be provided, preferably, as shown in the figure, in 2g on the internal face of the shell 2c , alternating with the openings 2f .
- the pump is then pressed in sealed friction into the belt 2a , closing the pocket, while the peripheral zone will be put into the air or under a nitrogen atmosphere, the pressure in the space 1c sufficient to slightly retract the pocket by chasing product into the pump but not by lifting the sleeve 6b . Sealing the dispenser, finally intervenes, on the fully depressed pump as shown in view 1b the tight fixing of the collar on the ring 1a .
- the product is therefore entirely sheltered from air, peripheral zone normally closed in addition by the gasket 8 .
- Figure 2 shows a modification adapting the lower intake of the pump to the sampling of pasty products.
- This socket is directly formed by the orifice 5b at the end of the body, taking the product in the upper part of the bag 3 ; but below, at the end of the skirt 2b which carries the latter, the sleeve 2 forms an inlet grid 2h having, in addition to its lateral withdrawal orifices, a central orifice which supports a tube 2i reaching the bottom of the pocket. Forming a drain, this tube is enough to prevent the flattening of the bag as it is used ultimately trapping part of the content.
- the mouth of the pocket 3 has an increased diameter; the offset between the skirt 2b and the ferrule 2c is less, practically reduced to the thickness occupied at the start by the folded wall of the pocket.
- the belt 2a is in the form of an internal reducing collar.
- the collar 2e does not rest on the edge of the case 1 but on an interior shoulder at the neck.
- the collar 7 of synthetic material is snapped on by simple pressure on the bead 5d of the pump body; in addition it seals directly on the case by a lip 7b and it is also it which forms the counter-flange 7a , then snapped onto a ring 1a of this case, annular or not, forming notching; the collar 2e therefore no longer plays any role in the sealing of the external envelope.
- This construction makes it possible to manufacture all of the parts by injection and to assemble them by socket.
- the counter-flange could, in particular to give a different appearance, be formed of an independent cap enclosing both the collar and the case.
- the communication between the two spaces 1b and 1c of the peripheral zone is formed by a lateral drilling; it could as well be, for example, a groove crossing the 2nd collar.
- FIG. 4 illustrates another embodiment, in which, under the pump 4 , the connection ring of the sleeve 2 carries a safety valve 11 sealed from the inside to the outside, constituted by tight fitting of two elementary parts 12 and 13 . The other rooms have still kept their bearings.
- the internal part 12 here forms the sealing belt 12a adaptable to the lower part of the pump body, under which its lower rim 12b constitutes the bevelled lower seat 11a of the valve 11 . It fits itself tightly on the external part 13 , along a wall 13a extended by the skirt 13b , the external face of which carries the flexible bag 3 and the internal face of the valve 11b capable of cooperating with the seat 11a .
- This lower ring of the part 13 is connected to the ferrule 13c of a centering and support flange by a shoulder 13d and this flange rests by its collar 13e on the edge of a bottle 1 .
- the belt 12a of the part 12 is itself connected to the ferrule 12c with a similar flange by a shoulder 12d ; the latter fits into the previous one, in turn resting on it by its 12th collar.
- the sleeve is therefore split, its two walls, generally contiguous, separating at the height of their shoulders 12d , 13d but being tightly linked at the height of the belt 12a . It has an interior profile and dimensions adapted to center and support the pump 4 .
- vents 12f and 13f create a communication between the vent 5e of the latter and the space 1c surrounding the pocket 3 .
- the valve 11b consists of a pellet substantially perpendicular to the vertical axis of the pump 4 , which is connected on the periphery of its conical bearing 11c to the skirt 13b by a perforated crown 11d elastically deformable. To have greater flexibility, this crown has a substantially V-shaped cross section.
- valve 11b is provided with a pusher 11e leaving in contact with the pump channels for the passage of the product and here consisting of three studs, the top of which is intended, when the pump 4 is put in place, to come into contact with the edge of its lower tap orifice 5b without closing the latter.
- FIG. 4 shows the valve 11 in the closed position, in the absence of the pump, while the right part shows the valve 11 in the open position, valve removed from its seat by the sealing position. of said pump.
- the collar 7 is only used to close the pump, the counter-flange 7a being formed of a separate piece fitted in clamping on it before being crimped on the bottle 1 ; the vent shown is itself made up of a groove made up to the joint 8 on the bearing surface of the bead 5d .
- a product injection cannula P dotted line
- the installation of the pump can thus without delay be postponed. It causes the support of its lower end against the merlons 11e then the reopening of the valve 11 by depressing its pellet 11b . This opens a passage to the product along the path indicated by the arrow P while the air entering through the 5th vent of the pump can balance the pressure during operation, according to arrow A, passing through the vents 12f , 13f .

Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne le conditionnement de produits tant liquides que plus ou moins pâteux ou crémeux à l'intérieur d'un dispensateur possédant une enveloppe rigide munie d'un distributeur permettant d'expulser son contenu dose après dose. Couramment, l'enveloppe, servant de récipient, est obturée par le distributeur; celui-ci comprend un mécanisme enfermé dans un corps tubulaire à prise inférieur et commandé par action, contre un ressort de renvoi, sur une tige creuse en saillie vers le haut qui sert aussi de conduit d'éjection ou gicleur. Il peut s'agir d'une valve, le produit étant alors chassé au fur et à mesure de l'utilisation par la pression d'un gaz introduit initialement. Ce peut aussi être une pompe à piston axial mû par le gicleur, destinée à extraire la dose voulue de produit par la dépression que la remontée de son piston crée dans sa chambre interne avant que sa descente ne chasse cette dose vers l'extérieur. Pour rééquilibrer la pression à l'intérieur du récipient la pompe possède alors un évent occulté au repos par le piston mais permettant une entrée d'air limitée lors de chaque utilisation.The present invention relates to the packaging of products both liquids that are more or less pasty or creamy inside a dispenser having a rigid envelope provided with a dispenser allowing to expel its content dose after dose. The envelope, serving as a container, is commonly closed by the distributor; this includes a mechanism enclosed in a tubular body with lower grip and action controlled, against a spring return, on a hollow rod projecting upwards which also serves as an ejection duct or sprinkler. It can be a valve, the product being then expelled as and when of the use by pressure of a gas initially introduced. It can also be a axial piston pump driven by the nozzle, intended to extract the desired dose of produced by the depression that the rise of its piston creates in its room internally before its descent drives this dose outward. To rebalance the pressure inside the container the pump then has a concealed vent at the rest by the piston but allowing limited air intake during each use.
Toutefois, sur ces dispoitifs, le produit est souvent contenu non pas directement dans l'enveloppe rigide mais dans une poche souple abritée à l'intérieur et possédant une embouchure raccordée au distributeur, l'enveloppe formant seulement étui. Cette disposition vise notamment à protéger la qualité de ce produit lors d'un stockage de longue durée ; en particulier, lorsque le distributeur est une pompe, elle permet de conserver le produit à l'abri de l'air comme d'éviter l'évaporation des constituants volatils.However, on these devices, the product is often contained not directly in the rigid envelope but in a flexible pocket sheltered at inside and having a mouthpiece connected to the distributor, the casing forming only case. This provision aims in particular to protect the quality of this product during long term storage; in particular, when the dispenser is a pump, it keeps the product away from air like avoiding the evaporation of volatile constituents.
Selon la plus commode des constructions connues, distributeur et poche souple sont raccordés par une douille formant une bague qui possède une jupe cylindrique rattachée à une ceinture haute; l'embouchure de la poche est fixée de façon étanche sur la jupe, ce partie au moins du corps tubulaire du distributeur pénétrant dans la ceinture pour s'y adapter à son tour de façon étanche.According to the most convenient of known constructions, distributor and flexible pocket are connected by a sleeve forming a ring which has a cylindrical skirt attached to a high belt; the mouth of the pocket is fixed sealingly on the skirt, this part at least of the tubular body of the distributor penetrating the belt in order to adapt in turn in a leaktight manner.
La douille possède avantageusement une bride de centrage et de support rattachée à la ceinture : après qu'on a introduit la poche dans l'étui, cette bride permet de la faire reposer sur l'embouchure de ce dernier pour y injecter le produit. Viendra alors se monter le distributeur, une pompe en l'occurrence. La fixation de ce distributeur sur la douille et celle de l'ensemble sur l'embouchure de l'étui peuvent recourir à toute sorte d'organes utilisant des moyens de raccordement divers comme un visage, un double emmanchement étanche etc. The socket advantageously has a centering and support attached to the belt: after inserting the pocket into the case, this flange allows it to rest on the mouth of the latter to inject the product. Then come the distributor, a pump in this case. The fixing of this distributor on the sleeve and that of the assembly on the mouth of the case can resort to all kinds of organs using connection means various such as a face, a double tight fitting, etc.
Enfin, même s'agissant d'une pompe, le distributeur est alors sans évent ; mais, de façon à laisser la poche se rétracter au fur et à mesure de l'extraction du produit par cette pompe sans engendrer de dépression dans l'espace laissé libre entre elle et l'étui, sous la douille, cet espace est mis à l'air par une voie, orifice ou canal d'équilibrage, ouverte sur l'étui ou sous la douille (FR-A- 26 85 285).Finally, even with a pump, the distributor is then without vent; but, so as to let the pocket retract as and when extraction of the product by this pump without creating a vacuum in space left free between it and the case, under the socket, this space is vented by a channel, orifice or balancing channel, open on the case or under the socket (FR-A- 26 85 285).
L'invention se rapporte à un perfectionnement de ces dispensateurs à poche souple équipés d'une pompe doseuse. Elle se fonde sur la réflexion que la conservation du produit peut encore y être améliorée car la présence d'une communication permanente entre l'espace intermédiaire et l'atmosphère reste une des causes de son vieillissement, étant donné que l'imperméabilité de la poche n'est pas absolue.The invention relates to an improvement of these dispensers to flexible pocket fitted with a dosing pump. It is based on the reflection that the product conservation can still be improved because the presence of a permanent communication between the intermediate space and the atmosphere remains a of the causes of its aging, since the waterproofing of the bag is not not absolute.
Un objet de l'invention est donc un dispensateur de produits plus ou moins fluides possédant une enveloppe formant étui, munie
- d'une pompe à corps tubulaire commandée par action sur un piston comportant un gicleur axial,
- d'une poche souple abritée à l'intérieur, raccordée à la pompe par une douille qui
forme une bague possédant une jupe cylindrique reliée à une ceinture haute,
l'embouchure de la poche étant fixée de façon étanche sur la jupe, une partie du
corps de pompe pénétrant dans la ceinture pour s'y adapter à son tour de façon
étanche, ainsi qu'une bride plus large de centrage et support sur l'étui,
- d'organes de fixation de l'ensemble sur cet étui, caractérisé en ce que la pompe est pourvue d'un évent occulté au repos par le piston; que la douille s'y raccorde sous cet évent, au-dessus duquel au contraire c'est ce contre-bride qui lie la pompe à l'étui, de façon à former un espace intermédiaire étanche entre la poche et l'étui et en ce qu'une communication relie l'espace intermédiaire inférieur entourant la poche à l'espace intermédiaire supérieur entourant la pompe et en relation avec l'évent.
- a tubular body pump controlled by action on a piston comprising an axial nozzle,
- a flexible pocket sheltered inside, connected to the pump by a socket which forms a ring having a cylindrical skirt connected to a high belt, the mouth of the pocket being tightly fixed on the skirt, part of the pump body penetrating the belt to adapt in turn in a leaktight manner, as well as a wider centering flange and support on the case,
- fixing members for the assembly on this case, characterized in that the pump is provided with a vent concealed at rest by the piston; the socket is connected to it under this vent, above which, on the contrary, it is this counter-flange which links the pump to the case, so as to form a sealed intermediate space between the pocket and the case and that a communication connects the lower intermediate space surrounding the pocket to the upper intermediate space surrounding the pump and in relation to the vent.
Selon une caractéristique avantageuse, la ceinture d'adaptation étanche de la douille sur la partie inférieure du corps se présente sous la forme d'un collier réducteur et la partie inférieure du corps s'adapte de façon étanche par simple serrage à friction sur la portée interne cylindrique de la ceinture.According to an advantageous characteristic, the waterproof adaptation belt of the socket on the lower part of the body is in the form of a collar reducer and the lower part of the body fits tightly by simple friction tightening on the internal cylindrical seat of the belt.
La contre bride fait partie intégrante de la collerette de fermeture du corps de pompe tandis que la bride de support possède une face interne cylindrique porteuse de nervures centrant la pompe en position initiale de pose.The counter flange is an integral part of the closing collar of the pump body while the support flange has a cylindrical inner face bearing ribs centering the pump in the initial installation position.
Par ailleurs, la prise de la pompe se trouve directement à son extrémité inférieure, tandis que la douille forme au dessous une grille d'entrée possédant, outre des orifices de prélèvement latéraux, un orifice central qui supporte un tube ou drain. In addition, the pump outlet is located directly at its end. lower, while the socket forms below an inlet grid having, in addition to the lateral sampling holes, a central hole which supports a tube or drain.
De plus, selon une autre caractéristique, la bague de raccordement de la douille porte une soupape de sécurité étanche de l'intérieur vers l'extérieur et constituée par emmanchement étanche de deux pièces' élémentaires.In addition, according to another characteristic, the connection ring of the socket carries a tight safety valve from the inside to the outside and constituted by tight fitting of two elementary parts.
En outre, le rebord de la pièce interne constitue le siège biseauté de la soupape, son clapet étant constitué d'une pastille raccordée sur la périphérie de sa portée conique à la pièce externe par une couronne perforée élastiquement déformable et pourvue d'un poussoir laissant au contact de la pompe des canaux pour le passage du produit.In addition, the rim of the internal part constitutes the beveled seat of the valve, its valve being made up of a disc connected on the periphery of its tapered to the outer part by an elastically perforated crown deformable and provided with a pusher leaving channels in contact with the pump for the passage of the product.
De préférence, la zone périphérique entourant la pompe et la poche, en communication avec l'évent, est emplie d'un gaz inerte.Preferably, the peripheral zone surrounding the pump and the bag, communication with the vent, is filled with an inert gas.
Un autre objet de l'invention est a procédé de conditionnement de dispensateur du type mentionné ci-dessus, caractérisé en ce que qu'après mise en place de la douille et remplissage de la poche, on pose une pompe à l'entrée de cette douille, on place l'ensemble sous vide pour purger la poche, on enfonce la pompe en friction dans la ceinture d'adaptation étanche de la douille, on fait pénétrer un gaz dans la zone périphérique entourant la pompe et la poche, on scelle enfin la pompe sur l'étui.Another object of the invention is a method of packaging dispenser of the type mentioned above, characterized in that only after setting place the socket and fill the pocket, we put a pump at the inlet of this sleeve, we place the whole under vacuum to purge the pocket, we push the friction pump in the waterproof adapter belt of the sleeve, we do penetrate a gas in the peripheral zone surrounding the pump and the bag, we seal finally the pump on the case.
Selon l'invention, la pompe est d'un modèle avec évent et c'est sous cet évent que la douille s'y raccorde de façon étanche ; au dessus de l'évent au contraire une contre-bride lie de façon étanche l'enveloppe de la pompe à l'étui, créant au dessus de la douille, autour du corps de pompe et en relation avec l'évent, un second espace intermédiaire ; un passage libre fait communiquer les deux espaces intermédiaires, entre les deux faces antéro-interne et postéro-externe de cette douille, recréant ce unique zone périphérique. Cette zone ne se trouve ainsi mise à l'air que de façon temporaire lors de chaque utilisation, par l'évent de la pompe, ce qui suffit, à travers l'espace supérieur, pour équilibrer l'espace intermédiaire inférieur, entourant la poche, tout en réduisant à rien les échanges gazeux que l'existence de celle-ci pouvait laisser subsister entre l'atmosphère et le produit. De plus, en vue de la commercialisation, il devient possible de remplir la zone périphérique d'un gaz inerte tel que l'azote, qui protégera encore mieux le produit sur une longue période, jusqu'à la mise en service par le client utilisateur.According to the invention, the pump is of a model with vent and it is under this vent that the socket connects to it in a leaktight manner; above the vent at on the contrary, a counter-flange tightly links the casing of the pump to the case, creating above the socket, around the pump body and in relation to the vent, a second intermediate space; a free passage makes the two communicate intermediate spaces, between the two antero-internal and postero-external faces of this socket, recreating this unique peripheral zone. This area is not so vented only temporarily during each use, by the vent of the pump, which is enough, through the upper space, to balance the space lower middle, surrounding the pocket, while reducing exchanges to nothing gaseous that the existence of it could let subsist between the atmosphere and the product. In addition, with a view to marketing, it becomes possible to fulfill the peripheral area of an inert gas such as nitrogen, which will further protect the product over a long period, until commissioning by the user client.
L'invention sera encore mieux comprise et diverses caractéristiques explicitées à la lecture de la description d'exemples avantageux qui va suivre, accompagnée de dessins qui représentent en coupe longitudinale partielle :

Le dispensateur représenté sur les figures comprend un flacon 1 dont
l'embouchure, supposée ici circulaire, reçoit une douille 2 (figure 1a, partie droite
et figure 1b) essentiellement composée de deux bagues concentriques. La première
constitue une bague de raccordement étanche ; c'est une virole formant en partie
haute une ceinture 2a qui se prolonge vers le bas en une jupe 2b ; cette dernière
supporte la poche souple 3 destinée à contenir le produit P et dont l'embouchure,
enfilée sur elle, est fixée de façon étanche sur sa face externe. La seconde
comprend ici une virole cylindrique 2c, plus large que la jupe 2b, rattachée en
partie basse à l'arête supérieure de la ceinture 2a par un ressaut 2d, et pourvue en
partie haute d'un collet 2e ; se centrant et reposant ainsi sur l'embouchure du flacon
1, elle sert de bride de support. A hauteur du ressaut 2d, là douille 2 est traversée
ici par trois ouïes 2f obtenues classiquement par pénétration des moules de
fabrication par injection.The dispenser shown in the figures comprises a
La douille 2 reçoit une pompe distributrice 4, de type connu, montrée
en coupe complète sur la vue 1a (partie gauche), seulement partielle sur la vue 1b.
Le corps tubulaire 5 de cette pompe, formé de deux viroles successives de
diamètres décroissants, porte une soupape d'admission à bille 5a et son orifice
inférieur 5b se raccorde à un tube de prise 5c. Une collerette 7 sertie sur son
bourrelet 5d y retient le piston 6 dont la tige creuse 6a traverse la collerette pour
former un gicleur.The
Le piston 6 est porteur d'un manchon coulissant 6b qui sert à la fois de
garniture étanche et de clapet de soupape d'échappement et que rappelle un ressort.
Au repos, le piston 6, qu'un ressort 6c renvoie vers le haut, fait en outre étanchéité
sur la collerette 7 par le biais d'un joint annulaire 8. Mais un trou d'évent 5e
traverse la paroi du corps 5 dans a partie supérieure, au-dessus du manchon 6b.The
Dans la position d'assemblage, visible en coupe moins profonde sur la
vue 1b, la virole inférieure du corps de pompe s'adapte de façon étanche, de
préférence par simple serrage sur la portée interne cylindrique de la ceinture 2a,
isolant ainsi de l'extérieur le produit P contenu dans la poche 3. La fixation étanche
de celle-ci sur la jupe 2b se fait donc avantageusement par collage ou le long d'une
double ligne de soudure 3a placée hors de la zone de ceinturage de la virole
inférieure du corps de pompe pour éviter de déformer les pièces plastiques dans
cette zone.In the assembly position, visible in a shallower section in
La collerette s'épanouit en une contre-bride 7a qui sera sertie sur la
bague 1a du flacon 1, enserrant ainsi le collet 2e de la douille, lequel sert donc de
joint étanche. Les profils du corps de pompe et de la douille se correspondent, le
puits formé par la virole 2c laissant subsister, au besoin grâce à une saignée 5f
pratiquée sur un épaississement de la face externe de la virole supérieure du corps
de pompe jusqu'à l'évent 5e, un espace intermédiaire 1b entre les deux pièces, au-dessus
de la douille 2 mais sous la collerette 7.The flange opens out into a
Ainsi le flacon ne servira que d'enveloppe externe ou d'étui protecteur.
L'espace intermédiaire 1c laissé entre lui et la poche 3 se trouve normalement clos,
mais il est mis en communication temporaire avec l'atmosphère par le canal des
ouïes 2f, de l'espace 1b et de l'évent 5e chaque fois qu'une pression sur sa tige 6a
décolle le piston 6 du joint 8 ; ceci permet d'en équilibrer la pression lors de
chaque action sur la pompe sans y créer un réel renouvellement de l'air.Thus the bottle will only serve as an outer envelope or protective case. The
Comme il a déjà été indiqué plus haut, pour le conditionnement, la
douille 2 porteuse de la poche 3 lovée est placée sur le flacon 1 ; une buse de
remplissage y est introduite et vient s'adapter sur la ceinture 2a, injecte le produit,
faisant gonfler la poche, puis se retire; la pompe 4 est alors posée comme la vue
1a le montre en trait mixte. L'ensemble peut ensuite être purgé à l'intérieur d'une
chambre à vide, la zone périphérique ou la poche communiquant encore
directement avec cette chambre par les ouïes 2f ou l'intérieur de la jupe 2b puis par
l'espace 1b selon la double flèche V ; pour faciliter cette opération des nervures
centrant la pompe à mi-course peuvent être prévues, de préférence, comme le
montre la figure, en 2g sur la face interne de la virole 2c, alternant avec les ouïes
2f. La pompe est ensuite enfoncée en friction étanche dans la ceinture 2a, fermant
la poche, tandis que la zone périphérique sera mise à l'air ou sous atmosphère
d'azote, la pression dans l'espace 1c suffisant à faire légèrement se rétracter la
poche en chassant du produit dans la pompe mais non à soulever le manchon 6b.
Scellant le dispensateur, intervient enfin,sur la pompe enfoncée à fond comme le
montre la vue 1b la fixation étanche de la collerette sur la bague 1a.As already indicated above, for packaging, the
Le produit se trouve donc entièrement mis à l'abri de l'air, zone
périphérique normalement close en outre par le joint 8.The product is therefore entirely sheltered from air, peripheral zone normally closed in addition by the
La figure 2 montre une modification adaptant la prise inférieure de la
pompe au prélèvement de produits pâteux. Cette prise se trouve directement
formée par l'orifice 5b à l'extrémité du corps, prélevant le produit en partie haute
de la poche 3 ; mais au dessous, à l'extrémité de la jupe 2b qui porte cette dernière,
la douille 2 forme une grille d'entrée 2h possédant outre ses orifices de
prélèvement latéraux un orifice central qui supporte un tube 2i atteignant le bas de
la poche. Formant drain, ce tube Suffit à éviter que l'aplatissement de la poche au
fur et à mesure de l'emploi n'y emprisonne finalement une partie du contenu. Figure 2 shows a modification adapting the lower intake of the pump to the sampling of pasty products. This socket is directly formed by the
Dans la version représentée sur la figure 3, où la tête servant de poussoir et équipée d'une buse adéquate a été représentée en trait mixte, la structure générale du dispositif est semblable à celle de la figure 1 et les diverses pièces ont gardé mêmes repères, les principales différences provenant de ce que le distributeur s'adapte sur un étui en matière synthétique.In the version shown in Figure 3 , where the head serving as a pusher and equipped with a suitable nozzle has been shown in phantom, the general structure of the device is similar to that of Figure 1 and the various parts have kept the same references , the main differences coming from the fact that the dispenser fits on a plastic case.
L'embouchure de la poche 3 possède un diamètre accrû ; le
décrochement entre la jupe 2b et la virole 2c est moindre, réduit pratiquement à
l'épaisseur occupée au départ par la paroi repliée de la poche. Au contraire, pour
s'adapter en friction au diamètre de la partie inférieure du corps de pompe 5, la
ceinture 2a se présente sous la forme d'un collier réducteur interne. Le collet 2e ne
prend pas appui sur le rebord de l'étui 1 mais sur un épaulement interieur au col. La
collerette 7 en matière synthétique est encliquetée par simple pression sur le
bourrelet 5d du corps de pompe ; de plus elle fait directement étanchéité sur l'étui
par une lèvre 7b et c'est encore elle qui forme la contre-bride 7a, encliquetée
ensuite sur une bague 1a de cet étui, annulaire ou non, formant crantage ; le collet
2e ne joue donc plus aucun rôle dans l'étanchéité de l'enveloppe externe. Cette
construction permet de fabriquer l'ensemble des pièces par injection et de les
monter par emboítement.The mouth of the
On notera que de nombreuses variantes sont possibles. La contre-bride
pourrait, en particulier pour donner un aspect différent, être formée d'une
coiffe indépendante enserrant à la fois la collerette et l'étui. En 2f, la
communication entre les deux espaces 1b et 1c de la zone périphérique est formée
d'un perçage latéral ; il pourrait aussi bien s'agir par exemple d'une saignée
traversant le collet 2e.Note that many variations are possible. The counter-flange could, in particular to give a different appearance, be formed of an independent cap enclosing both the collar and the case. In 2f , the communication between the two
La figure 4 illustre un autre mode d'exécution, dans lequel, sous la
pompe 4, la bague de raccordement de la douille 2 est porteuse d'une soupape de
sécurité 11 étanche de l'intérieur vers l'extérieur, constituée par emmanchement
étanche de deux pièces élémentaires 12 et 13. Les autres pièces ont encore gardé
leurs repères. FIG. 4 illustrates another embodiment, in which, under the pump 4 , the connection ring of the
La pièce interne 12 forme ici la ceinture d'étanchéité 12a adaptable à
la partie inférieure du corps de pompe, sous lequel son rebord inférieur 12b
constitue le siège à portée inférieure biseautée 11a de la soupape 11. Elle s'emboíte
elle-même de façon étanche sur la pièce externe 13, le long d'une paroi 13a que
prolonge la jupe 13b dont la face externe porte la poche souple 3 et la face interne
le clapet 11b apte à coopérer avec le siège 11a.The
Cette bague inférieure de la pièce 13 se raccorde à la virole 13c d'une
bride de centrage et de support par un épaulement 13d et cette bride repose par son
collet 13e sur le bord d'un flacon 1. Dans la version figurée, la ceinture 12a de la
pièce 12 se raccorde elle-même à la virole 12c d'une bride semblable par un
épaulement 12d; cette dernière s'emboíte dans la précédente, reposant à son tour
sur elle par son collet 12e. La douille est donc dédoublée, ses deux parois,
généralement jointives, se séparant à hauteur de leurs épaulements 12d, 13d mais
étant liées de façon étanche à hauteur de la ceinture 12a. Elle possède un profil
intérieur et des dimensions adaptés à centrer et supporter la pompe 4. Dans les
épaulements, des ouïes 12f et 13f créent une communication entre l'évent 5e de
cette dernière et l'espace 1c entourant la poche 3.This lower ring of the
Le clapet 11b est constitué d'une pastille sensiblement perpendiculaire
à l'axe vertical de la pompe 4, qui est raccordée sur la périphérie de sa portée
conique 11c à la jupe 13b par une couronne perforée 11d élastiquement
déformable. Pour posséder une plus grande flexibilité, cette couronne a une section
transversale sensiblement en V.The
De plus, le clapet 11b est pourvu d'un poussoir 11e laissant au contact
de la pompe des canaux pour le passage du produit et constitué ici de trois merlons
dont le sommet est destiné, lors de la mise en place de la pompe 4, à venir en
contact avec le rebord de son orifice de prise inférieur 5b sans obturer ce dernier.In addition, the
La partie gauche de la figure 4 montre la soupape 11 en position de
fermeture, en l'absence de la pompe, tandis que la partie droite montre la soupape
11 en position d'ouverture, clapet décollé de son siège par la mise en position
étanche de ladite pompe. On notera accessoirement qu'en l'occurrence la collerette
7 ne sert qu'à fermer la pompe, la contre-bride 7a étant formée d'une pièce
distincte emboítée en serrage sur elle avant d'être sertie sur le flacon 1 ; l'évent
représenté est, lui, constitué d'une saignée pratiquée jusqu'au joint 8 sur la portée
du bourrelet 5d.The left part of FIG. 4 shows the
La poche 3 préalablement montée sur la douille 2, elle-même
emboítée sur le col du flacon 1, est remplie au moyen d'une canule d'injection de
produit P (trait mixte) en appui étanche sur l'épaulement 12d, le clapet s'ouvrant
par déformation de sa couronne 11d sous l'effet de la pression et le produit
s'introduisant par ses perforations périphériques. Aprés remplissage, le clapet se
referme, mettant le contenu de la poche à l'abri de l'air.The
La mise en place de la pompe peut ainsi sans inconvénient être
différée. Elle provoque l'appui de son extrémité inférieure contre les merlons 11e
puis la réouverture de la soupape 11 par enfoncement de sa pastille 11b. On ouvre
ainsi un passage au produit selon le trajet indiqué par la flèche P tandis que l'air
entrant par l'évent 5e de la pompe peut équilibrer la pression lors du
fonctionnement, selon la flèche A, en passant par les ouïes 12f, 13f.The installation of the pump can thus without delay be postponed. It causes the support of its lower end against the
L'emploi d'une pompe à tube de prise permettant de prélever le produit en partie basse de la poche obligerait seulement lors de sa pose à forcer le clapet en déchirant sa couronne à l'aide de l'extrémité, oblique, de ce tube.The use of a pick-up tube pump to collect the product in the lower part of the pocket would force only during its installation to force the valve by tearing its crown using the oblique end of this tube.
