Definitions

  • the present invention relates to any metallic annular part which is force fitted onto any plastic element in particular of a product distribution device, and more particularly any covering member such as a hoop, an overcap, a plunger covering. or plug, for example.
  • metal parts either to fix the dispensing member, for example a pump, on the container, or to cover or dress plastic parts, in particular for aesthetic reasons.
  • the present invention provides a solution to this problem and therefore avoids the aforementioned drawback.
  • the subject of the present invention is a metal covering member intended to be force-fitted onto an essentially cylindrical plastic element, characterized in that it comprises an annular side wall provided on its internal face with at least one relief extending from obliquely over at least part of the height of said side wall, the inside diameter of said covering member at the level of at least one relief being slightly less than the outside diameter of said plastic element, said plastic element conforming by creep, after press fitting of the covering member, the shape of said at least one oblique relief so as to allow said covering member to be removed by unscrewing said plastic element.
  • said at least one oblique relief has an elongated shape forming an internal thread on the annular side wall of the covering member.
  • the internal face of the annular side wall of said covering member is provided with a single oblique relief extending over approximately the entire circumference of said annular wall.
  • the internal face of the annular side wall of said covering member is provided with several parallel oblique reliefs distributed around its circumference.
  • the difference between the outside diameter of the plastic element and the inside diameter of the covering member at the level of said at least one relief is small, said oblique relief being able to be produced in the form of a gadroon or rib.
  • annular metal part is shown in the form of a hoop or a plug, but it is understood that the invention relates equally to any other metal covering member intended to be fitted by force on a cylindrical plastic element in particular of a product dispenser, such as for example a covering or an overcap for a pusher or a collar.
  • the covering member is metallic and annular and is intended to be force fitted onto a plastic element of a product dispenser, for example.
  • the plastic element may for example be a snap ring intended to fix the dispensing member fixedly (a pump for example) to the container containing the product.
  • the inside diameter of the covering member 1 is typically approximately equal to the outside diameter of the plastic element on which it is fitted. Thus, said covering member 1 can slide more or less easily on the lateral external wall of said plastic element.
  • the covering member 1 comprises on the internal face 3 of its annular side wall 2 at least one relief 4 extending obliquely over part of the height of said side wall 2.
  • the inside diameter of the covering member 1 at the level of said at least one oblique relief 4 is less than the outside diameter of the plastic element on which said covering member is fitted.
  • said at least one relief 4 can be implemented in the form of ribs or gadroons.
  • the outer surface 5 of the covering member 1 remains perfectly cylindrical, which may constitute a choice from the point of view of aesthetics.
  • said at least one oblique relief 4 has an elongated shape to form an internal thread on the annular side wall 2 of the covering member.
  • the internal face 3 of the side wall 2 of the covering member 1 has a single relief 4.
  • this oblique relief extends approximately on a complete revolution of the circumference of the side wall 2. It is quite clear in this case that the slope of said relief 4 is relatively small.
  • the internal face of the annular side wall of the covering member 1 is provided with several parallel oblique reliefs 4 which are advantageously distributed regularly around the circumference of said side wall .
  • the difference between the outside diameter of the plastic element and the inside diameter of the covering member 1 at said at least one oblique relief 4 is small.
  • FIGS. 4a and 4b where the covering member is a hoop 1 intended to be force fitted on a plastic ring 10 of a product dispenser 20.
  • the covering member 1 intended to be press fitted onto a plastic element 10 is disposed on the latter, the lower end 6 of said at least one relief 4 abutting and preventing said covering member 1 from sliding along said plastic element .
  • the covering member is then force fitted onto said plastic element according to well known techniques. The difference in hardness between the metal of the covering member 1 and the plastic of the plastic element ensures effective fitting.
  • the covering member 1 is therefore fixedly held on the plastic element, in particular by means of said at least one relief 4.
  • the plastic material of the plastic element follows by creep, after a period of time which depends on the hardness of said plastic material, the shape of said at least one relief 4 of the covering member 1.
  • the invention therefore makes it possible to very simply separate metal from plastic, in particular in product dispensers without, however, modifying the mounting installations of said dispensers.
