Definitions

  • Fluid dispensing bottle comprising a flexible bag and method of manufacturing.
  • the present invention relates to a fluid distribution bottle, and more particularly a bottle of the type comprising a container, a flexible bag and a pump, for the distribution of a product in fluid form, stored away from the air, as well as a manufacturing process.
  • the technique is known as long as placing a flexible and deformable pocket inside the vial, the assembly being completed by a valve or an extraction pump.
  • the bag is generally filled with the fluid after assembly of the bag and the bottle, and a gas can be introduced between the bag and the internal surface of the bottle so as to cause the exit of a determined quantity of product out of the bag during actuation of the valve.
  • the space between the pocket and the internal wall of the bottle communicates with the outside via a vent in order to maintain pressure on the wall of the pocket to facilitate the exit of the product.
  • vacuum extraction pumps are often used without introducing air into the pocket to compensate for the volume sucked in, the pocket, made of elastically deformable material, gradually deforming as its volume is reduced.
  • the pump must be put in place after filling the bag, and this results in the presence of a certain volume of air in the upper part of the bag, which affects the precision and reliability of the operation.
  • dispenser bottle In particular, these devices are not suitable for dispensing bottles for pharmaceutical products for which good regularity of operation is essential.
  • patent FR-A-2,710,612 describes a dispensing bottle of the aforementioned type, comprising a flexible pocket, a pump fixed on the neck of the pocket, and a rigid case in which the pocket is placed, the neck of which protrudes above the upper edge of the base of the housing and is surrounded by a rigid cover integral with the base.
  • a dispenser bottle of the same type is described in patent FR-A-2,658,793 according to which the flexible pouch contains a grid intended to prevent the walls of the pouch from sticking together.
  • this device does not allow the bag to be completely emptied.
  • Patent FR-A-2,685,285 describes a rigid bottle into which a flexible bag has been introduced which is then filled with a liquid product, then a pump without air intake is mounted on the inlet port of the pocket and bottle.
  • Patent FR-A-2,668,756 relates to a process for producing a rigid bottle containing an elastically deformable pocket, which is filled after assembly of the pocket and the bottle.
  • the pump operating by suction without introducing compensating air into the pocket, is placed on the neck of the pocket before introduction of the latter into the rigid bottle.
  • Patent FR-A-2,682,667 describes a sealing device suitable for opening a container, and associated with a dispenser and a brush, for example for applying nail varnish.
  • the present invention relates to a bottle suitable for dispensing product in fluid form, for example a liquid mixture for spraying, of the type comprising a rigid container containing a flexible bag, on the neck of which is mounted a pump, which is can fill before or after assembling the bag to the container and mounting the pump.
  • the invention also relates to a bottle for distributing a fluid product which can be manufactured and filled in a simple and effective manner, while ensuring that the product is kept in the flexible pouch away from air (system called "airless").
  • the invention also relates to a method of manufacturing such a bottle by assembling a flexible bag, a container and a pump, making it possible to fill the flexible bag before or after assembly. .
  • the dispensing bottle according to the present invention is suitable for the distribution of all products in fluid form, in particular liquid or pasty, for example liquids, creams or emulsions of various viscosities, for industrial, cosmetic or pharmaceutical uses, and any particu ⁇ for dispensing bottles of pharmaceutical products supplied in the form of a spray, nebulization or aerosol.
  • the fluid dispensing bottle in accordance with the present invention comprises
  • the diameter of the neck of the flexible bag is greater than the diameter of the neck of the rigid container
  • the neck of the pocket has an external collar with a diameter greater than that of the pocket.
  • the neck of the rigid container has an extension projecting inside the volume of the container, delimiting a space between its external face and the internal wall of the container.
  • the extension of the neck of the container protrudes inside the flexible pocket, and, moreover, the internal face of the neck of the flexible pocket is in contact against the external face of the extension.
  • the bottle according to the invention consists of two parts, a main cylindrical part and a base, which are separable and are assembled at the end of manufacture, as indicated below.
  • the volume located between the rigid container and the flexible bag communicates with the outside via a vent preferably provided in the base of the container.
  • the bottle comprises a pump for extracting the fluid contained in the pocket, and this pump is fixed to the neck of the container, while in the usual flexible pocket devices of the technique, the pump is usually attached to the neck of the pocket.
  • the pouch and the container which contains it are made from one and the same material, for example polypropylene, containing, where appropriate, usual additives to ensure good rigidity of the container as well that flexibility and satisfactory flexibility of the pocket.
  • the invention also extends to a process for manufacturing a bottle of the type described above, a process allowing the flexible bag to be filled before or after assembling the flexible bag and the rigid container.
  • This process is distinguished in that: a) the flexible bag is introduced into an open cylindrical support with an inside diameter slightly greater than the outside diameter of the flexible bag, and an outside diameter slightly less than the outside diameter of the collar of the pocket, and the case if necessary, the bag is filled; b) the upper cylindrical part of the rigid container is placed, without its base, over the cylindrical support until it comes into contact with the flange of the flexible bag, and the bag is fixed to the container; c) and finally the assembly consisting of the pocket and the upper cylindrical part of the rigid container is removed from the cylindrical support, and the base of the container is fixed to the lower edge of its cylindrical part.
  • the filling of the bag can be done either before or after assembling the bag and the container.
  • the manufacture and filling of the flexible bag bottle according to the present invention is carried out as indicated below.
  • the flexible pocket manufactured by a conventional method, for example by injection-blowing of polypropylene or polyethylene, is placed on a hollow cylindrical support so that the collar of the neck of the pocket rests on the upper edge of the cylindrical support.
  • the outside diameter of the cylindrical support is slightly smaller than the inside diameter of the container, and its inside diameter is such that its wall is against the surface of the pocket.
  • the main cylindrical part of the rigid container is inserted on the cylindrical support holding the pocket, until the neck of the pocket comes into contact with the internal wall of the tale ⁇ neur, above the lower end of the extension of the neck of the container, then the attachment of the pocket to the rigid container is ensured by a usual technique, for example by gluing, welding, snap-fastening or the like.
  • the cylindrical support of the pocket is removed, and the base of the container is put in place by a usual method.
  • the filling of the bag is carried out in an intermediate stage a1), before fixing the flexible bag to the rigid container.
  • the pump is fixed to the neck of the rigid container before step b) of assembling the container and the bag.
  • the filling is carried out after assembly of the bag and the container.
  • the first variant above is particularly advantageous because it allows easy and quick filling of the bag.
