Description

PERFECTIONNEMENT POUR RECIPIENT NOTAMMENT POT OU ANALOGUEIMPROVEMENT FOR CONTAINER, IN PARTICULAR POT OR THE LIKE
La présente invention concerne un perfectionnement pour récipient tel qu'un pot ou analogue. Elle vise plus particulièrement mais non spécifiquement des récipients pour produits cosmétiques et de parfumerie.The present invention relates to an improvement for a container such as a pot or the like. It relates more particularly but not specifically to containers for cosmetic and perfume products.
De nos jours, on connaît l'importance que revêtent les récipients utilisés dans le domaine de la parfumerie et notamment ceux commercialisés concernant les crèmes de soins pour la peau, comme, par exemple, les crèmes à base de liposomes. Ces récipients doivent pour le consommateur présenter un aspect distinctif séduisant, tout en étant en conformité avec les règles d'hygiènes élémentaires ou dictées par des normes de qualité.Nowadays, we know the importance of containers used in the field of perfumery and in particular those marketed for skin care creams, such as, for example, liposome-based creams. These containers must have a distinctive attractive appearance for the consumer, while being in compliance with basic hygiene rules or those dictated by quality standards.
Les récipients connus et commercialisés de nos jours sont constitués par des pots en verre ou en matière plastique qui sont fermés par un couvercle ou un bouchon de fermeture qui généralement se visse sur le corps du pot. Mais si les récipients actuels sont séduisants sur le plan esthétique, ce n'est pas tout à fait le cas sur le plan de l'hygiène du produit contenu qui doit être conservé de façon la plus étanche possible. Certes, les constructeurs utilisent de préférence des bouchons de fermeture qui se vissent et qui le plus souvent comprennent un joint d'étanchéité souple interposé entre ledit bouchon et le rebord de l'ouverture du pot, afin de permettre une bonne fermeture ; mais ce type de disposition, malgré son apparence, n'est pas totalement satisfaisant. C'est pourquoi les parfumeurs ont pensé procéder à un operculage du pot rempli de crème afin d'obtenir une étanchéité parfaite avant l'utilisation du produit. Mais, dans ce cas, l'opération d'operculage doit alors être faite par le parfumeur après le remplissage du pot et avant la mise en place du bouchon. C'est donc une opération supplémentaire pour le parfumeur, et donc coûteuse. De plus, la mise en place de l'opercule, alors que le récipient contient déjà la crème, peut occasionner des salissures et apporter des bactéries nuisibles à l'hygiène du produit. On a déjà proposé des pots solutionnant le problème d'operculage comme, par exemple, celui divulgué dans la demande française n° 83 02469 publiée sous le numéro 2 540 834, selon laquelle l'opercule est mis sur une pièce supplémentaire indépendante ajoutée sur un pot traditionnel.The containers known and marketed today consist of glass or plastic pots which are closed by a lid or a closure cap which generally screws onto the body of the pot. But if the current containers are attractive from an aesthetic point of view, this is not entirely the case in terms of the hygiene of the product contained which must be kept as airtight as possible. Of course, manufacturers preferably use closure plugs which are screwed and which most often include a flexible gasket interposed between said plug and the rim of the jar opening, in order to allow good closure; but this type of arrangement, despite its appearance, is not entirely satisfactory. This is why the perfumers have thought of sealing the jar filled with cream in order to obtain a perfect seal before using the product. But, in this case, the sealing operation must then be done by the perfumer after filling the jar and before installing the stopper. It is therefore an additional operation for the perfumer, and therefore expensive. In addition, the establishment of the lid, while the container already contains the cream, can cause soiling and bring bacteria harmful to the hygiene of the product. We have already proposed pots solving the sealing problem such as, for example, that disclosed in the French application n ° 83 02 469 published under the number 2 540 834, according to which the seal is put on an additional independent piece added on a traditional pot.
La présente invention vise à remédier aux inconvénients précédemment évoqués en proposant une nouvelle conception de récipient, qui présente un certains nombres d'avantages, aussi bien pour le fabriquant de celui-ci que pour le parfumeur qui aura pour tâche de le remplir. Le récipient de l'invention est équipé d'un opercule de propreté dont le parfumeur n'aura pas la charge, puisque celui-ci fait partie d'une pièce complémentaire, mise en place après remplissage.The present invention aims to remedy the drawbacks mentioned above by proposing a new container design, which has a certain number of advantages, both for the manufacturer thereof and for the perfumer who will be responsible for filling it. The container of the invention is equipped with a cleanliness cover which the perfumer will not be responsible for, since it is part of an additional part, put in place after filling.
Ainsi, le récipient de l'invention est un pot fermé par un bouchon, du type dont l'ouverture est obturée provisoirement par un opercule, et est caractérisé en ce que le pot est constitué par un corps de récipient auquel est solidarisée une pièce intermédiaire comprenant l'opercule, le bouchon coopérant avec ladite pièce intermédiaire pour la fermeture du pot.Thus, the container of the invention is a pot closed by a stopper, of the type whose opening is temporarily closed by a cover, and is characterized in that the pot consists of a container body to which an intermediate piece is secured. comprising the cover, the plug cooperating with said intermediate piece for closing the pot.
Ainsi, le récipient de l'invention est constitué par un pot fermé par un bouchon, ledit pot étant du type constitué par un corps de récipient formé par une première paroi périphérique formant l'enceinte destinée à recevoir le contenant (13) et auquel est solidarisée une pièce intermédiaire comprenant l'opercule, le bouchon coopérant avec ladite pièce intermédiaire, ledit récipient étant caractérisé en ce que la paroi extérieure du pot peut être en totalité ou en partie constituée par une deuxième paroi périphérique du corps de récipient et/ou par une paroi périphérique de ladite pièce intermédiaire.Thus, the container of the invention consists of a pot closed by a stopper, said pot being of the type constituted by a container body formed by a first peripheral wall forming the enclosure intended to receive the container (13) and to which is secured to an intermediate piece comprising the cover, the stopper cooperating with said intermediate piece, said container being characterized in that the external wall of the jar can be wholly or partly formed by a second peripheral wall of the container body and / or by a peripheral wall of said intermediate piece.
Selon des caractéristiques complémentaires, le corps de récipient comprend une deuxième paroi périphérique espacée de la première paroi périphérique pour créer ainsi un espace périphérique entre les deux parois. Sachant que dans une solution préférée, ladite deuxième paroi périphérique est reliée à la paroi transversale inférieure constituant le fond du pot pour s'étendre vers le haut. Selon une autre caractéristique complémentaire, le corps de récipient est formé par une première paroi périphérique formant l'enceinte destinée à recevoir le contenant comme, par exemple, de la crème cosmétologique, ladite enceinte étant ouverte vers le haut et fermée vers le bas par une paroi transversale inférieure constituant le fond du pot.According to additional features, the container body comprises a second peripheral wall spaced from the first peripheral wall to thereby create a peripheral space between the two walls. Knowing that in a preferred solution, said second peripheral wall is connected to the lower transverse wall constituting the bottom of the pot to extend upwards. According to another additional characteristic, the container body is formed by a first peripheral wall forming the enclosure intended to receive the container such as, for example, cosmetic cream, said enclosure being open upwards and closed downwards by a lower transverse wall constituting the bottom of the pot.
Ajoutons que la pièce intermédiaire a la forme générale d'une bague et est constituée par une paroi périphérique intermédiaire cylindrique formant un logement central cylindrique, la partie supérieure de la face externe de la paroi comprenant un filetage externe destiné à coopérer avec le filetage interne du bouchon, tandis que ladite pièce intermédiaire comprend un opercule amovible solidarisé à la bordure supérieure de la paroi périphérique, et que la paroi périphérique intermédiaire de la pièce intermédiaire est prolongée vers le bas par une paroi périphérique s'étendant vers le bas.Add that the intermediate part has the general shape of a ring and is constituted by a cylindrical intermediate peripheral wall forming a cylindrical central housing, the upper part of the external face of the wall comprising an external thread intended to cooperate with the internal thread of the plug, while said intermediate piece comprises a removable cover secured to the upper edge of the peripheral wall, and that the intermediate peripheral wall of the intermediate piece is extended downwards by a peripheral wall extending downwards.
Notons qu'il est prévu des moyens de verrouillage assurant le blocage en rotation et en translation de la pièce intermédiaire par rapport au corps de récipient.Note that there are provided locking means ensuring the locking in rotation and in translation of the intermediate piece relative to the container body.
Selon un premier mode d'exécution, la paroi externe du pot est constituée au moins en partie par la paroi périphérique du corps de récipient et en partie par la paroi périphérique de la pièce intermédiaire, tandis que selon deux variantes, la paroi externe du pot est constituée soit en totalité par la deuxième paroi périphérique du corps de récipient, soit en totalité par la paroi périphérique de la pièce intermédiaire.According to a first embodiment, the external wall of the pot is formed at least partly by the peripheral wall of the container body and partly by the peripheral wall of the intermediate piece, while according to two variants, the external wall of the pot is constituted either entirely by the second peripheral wall of the container body, or entirely by the peripheral wall of the intermediate piece.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention se dégageront de la description qui va suivre en regard des dessins annexés qui ne sont donnés qu'à titre d'exemples non limitatifs.Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will emerge from the description which follows with reference to the appended drawings which are given only by way of nonlimiting examples.

Note also that for all that will not be expressly described, the reader will be kind enough to refer to the drawings.
Les figures 1 à 12 illustrent un premier mode de réalisation d'un récipient selon l'invention qui porte la référence globale (1). Ledit récipient est constitué d'un pot (2) et d'un bouchon de fermeture (3) qui est avantageusement du type à vis, la fermeture du pot (1) se faisant par vissage du bouchon de fermeture (3), comme cela est bien connu en soi.Figures 1 to 12 illustrate a first embodiment of a container according to the invention which bears the global reference (1). Said container consists of a pot (2) and a closure cap (3) which is advantageously of the screw type, the closure of the pot (1) being made by screwing the closure cap (3), like this is well known in itself.
Ledit bouchon (3) est donc constitué par une paroi périphérique de bouchon (4) et par une paroi supérieure transversale (5) pour constituer une cavité de bouchon (6) ouverte vers le bas dont le fond comprend en position d'utilisation un joint d'étanchéité (7), le filetage interne (8) nécessaire étant réalisé sur la surface interne de la paroi périphérique (4).Said stopper (3) is therefore constituted by a peripheral stopper wall (4) and by a transverse upper wall (5) to constitute a stopper cavity (6) open downwards, the bottom of which comprises, in the use position, a seal. sealing (7), the necessary internal thread (8) being produced on the internal surface of the peripheral wall (4).
Le pot (2) quant à lui est constitué selon l'invention par l'assemblage d'un corps de récipient (9) avec une pièce intermédiaire (10) dont on expliquera la fonction plus en détails dans la suite de la description.The pot (2) is made according to the invention by assembling a container body (9) with an intermediate piece (10) whose function will be explained in more detail in the following description.
Le corps de récipient (9) constitue le conteneur proprement dit et est formé par une première paroi périphérique (11) cylindrique formant l'enceinte (12) destinée à recevoir le contenant comme, par exemple, de la crème cosmétologique (13). Ladite enceinte (12) étant ouverte vers le haut et fermée vers le bas par une paroi transversale inférieure (14) constituant le fond du pot. Par ailleurs, le corps de récipient (9) comprend une deuxième paroi périphérique (15) reliée à la paroi transversale inférieure (14) pour s'étendre vers le haut tout en étant espacée de la première paroi périphérique (11) et créer ainsi un espace périphérique (16) ouvert vers le haut.The container body (9) constitutes the container proper and is formed by a first cylindrical peripheral wall (11) forming the enclosure (12) intended to receive the container such as, for example, cosmetic cream (13). Said enclosure (12) being open upwards and closed downwards by a lower transverse wall (14) constituting the bottom of the pot. Furthermore, the container body (9) comprises a second peripheral wall (15) connected to the lower transverse wall (14) to extend upwards while being spaced from the first peripheral wall (11) and thus create a peripheral space (16) open upwards.
La pièce intermédiaire (10) a la forme générale d'une bague et est constituée par une paroi périphérique intermédiaire (17) cylindrique formant un logement central cylindrique (18). La partie supérieure de la face externe de la paroi (17) comprend un filetage externe (19) tandis que la bordure supérieure (20) bordant l'ouverture (180) est prolongée vers l'intérieur par une saillie périphérique (21) qui, comme on le verra plus loin, est destinée à prendre appui sur la bordure supérieure (22) de la première paroi périphérique du corps de récipient. Ajoutons que le filetage externe (19) de la pièce intermédiaire (10) est destiné à coopérer avec le filetage interne (8) du bouchon de fermeture (3).The intermediate piece (10) has the general shape of a ring and is constituted by a cylindrical intermediate peripheral wall (17) forming a cylindrical central housing (18). The upper part of the external face of the wall (17) comprises an external thread (19) while the upper edge (20) bordering the opening (180) is extended inwardly by a peripheral projection (21) which, as will be seen later, is intended to bear on the upper edge (22) of the first peripheral wall of the container body. Let us add that the external thread (19) of the intermediate part (10) is intended to cooperate with the internal thread (8) of the closure plug (3).
Par ailleurs, la paroi périphérique (17) de la pièce intermédiaire (10) est prolongée vers le bas par un prolongement de paroi (17a) et comprend, une saillie latérale annulaire (170) servant de butée et de verrouillage.Furthermore, the peripheral wall (17) of the intermediate piece (10) is extended downwards by a wall extension (17a) and comprises, an annular lateral projection (170) serving as a stop and locking.
II est prévu un opercule (23) de propreté et d'étanchéité qui est solidarisé à la bordure supérieure (20) de la pièce intermédiaire (10). Cet opercule est cylindrique et est constitué, par exemple, par un disque en aluminium de faible épaisseur qui comprend avantageusement une languette de préhension (24). L'opercule est fixé sur la pièce intermédiaire par soudage ou collage, selon des procédés connus, comme par conduction ou soudage par ultra sons, ou par induction. Ajoutons que la mise en place de l'opercule (23) sur la pièce intermédiaire (10), figure 5, se fait avant la mise en place de celle-ci sur le corps de récipient (9).There is provided a cover (23) for cleanliness and sealing which is secured to the upper edge (20) of the intermediate piece (10). This cover is cylindrical and is constituted, for example, by a thin aluminum disc which advantageously comprises a gripping tab (24). The cover is fixed to the intermediate piece by welding or gluing, according to known methods, such as by conduction or welding by ultrasound, or by induction. Add that the installation of the cover (23) on the intermediate piece (10), Figure 5, is done before the introduction of the latter on the container body (9).
Dans la position montée du pot (2), la pièce intermédiaire (10) operculée (23) est solidarisée sur le corps de récipient. A cet effet, le prolongement de paroi (17a) de la pièce intermédiaire est engagé dans l'espace périphérique (16) du corps, à savoir, entre la première paroi (11) et la deuxième paroi (15). Dans cette position, la pièce intermédiaire (10) est fixée au corps de récipient (9) pour lui être solidaire. Aussi, ladite pièce intermédiaire (10) est bloquée en rotation et en translation par rapport audit corps, grâce à des moyens de verrouillage en rotation (28) et en translation (27).In the mounted position of the pot (2), the intermediate piece (10) sealed (23) is secured to the container body. To this end, the wall extension (17a) of the intermediate piece is engaged in the peripheral space (16) of the body, namely, between the first wall (11) and the second wall (15). In this position, the intermediate piece (10) is fixed to the container body (9) to be integral with it. Also, said intermediate piece (10) is locked in rotation and in translation relative to said body, by means of locking in rotation (28) and in translation (27).
Les moyens de verrouillage en rotation sont, par exemple, constitués par la coopération d'une succession de dents (25) réalisées sur la surface externe de la première paroi périphérique (11) du corps de récipient (9) avec une succession de profils en creux (26) réalisés sur la face interne du prolongement de paroi (17a) de la pièce intermédiaire. Les moyens de verrouillage en translation assurent le blocage définitif de la pièce intermédiaire (10) sur le corps de récipient (9) et sont réalisés, par exemple, par un dispositif du type à enclenchement (27).The means for locking in rotation are, for example, constituted by the cooperation of a succession of teeth (25) produced on the external surface of the first peripheral wall (11) of the container body (9) with a succession of profiles in hollow (26) produced on the internal face of the wall extension (17a) of the intermediate piece. The locking means in translation ensure the final locking of the intermediate piece (10) on the container body (9) and are produced, for example, by a device of the latching type (27).
Ajoutons que le corps de récipient (9) de la pièce intermédiaireAdd that the container body (9) of the intermediate piece
(10) et le bouchon de fermeture sont réalisés, par exemple, par injection d'une matière plastique telle qu'un polyéthylène, un polypropylène, ou autre. Bien entendu, le corps de récipient (9), la pièce intermédiaire (10) et le bouchon (3) peuvent être réalisés avec une même matière. Mais il peut en être autrement et chacune des pièces peut donc être réalisée avec des matières différentes en fonction des besoins, et notamment en fonction des coûts, des problèmes de compatibilité de la crème avec la paroi du récipient ou encore des besoins de pure esthétique.(10) and the closure plug are produced, for example, by injection of a plastic material such as polyethylene, polypropylene, or the like. Of course, the container body (9), the intermediate piece (10) and the stopper (3) can be made from the same material. But it can be otherwise and each of the parts can therefore be produced with different materials according to the needs, and in particular according to the costs, problems of compatibility of the cream with the wall of the container or even needs of pure aesthetics.
On comprend que dans ces conditions le concept selon l'invention est particulièrement intéressant car, grâce au montage du pot (2) par assemblage de deux pièces, à savoir, le corps de récipient (9) et la pièce intermédiaire (10), il est possible de dessiner des pièces dont l'épaisseur de paroi est constante, tout en permettant des aspects extérieurs de l'ensemble du récipient aussi variés que possibles.We understand that in these conditions the concept according to the invention is particularly interesting because, thanks to the mounting of the pot (2) by assembling two parts, namely, the container body (9) and the intermediate part (10), it It is possible to draw parts with a constant wall thickness, while allowing the external aspects of the whole container as varied as possible.
Par ailleurs, grâce à l'opercule (23) mis en place sur la pièce intermédiaire (10) avant montage de celle-ci, le récipient peut être fourni au laboratoire cosmétologique dans la position tel qu'illustré aux figures 7 et 8. A savoir, le pot proprement dit (9) et un ensemble supérieur (30) constitué de la pièce intermédiaire (10) avec son opercule (23) sur laquelle est vissé le bouchon de fermeture (3) avec son joint (7). Le laboratoire n'aura donc qu'à remplir de crème (13) l'enceinte (12) du corps de récipient (9), figure 9, puis mettre en place l'ensemble supérieur en force (30) par emmanchement de celui-ci sur le corps de récipient (9), figure 10, jusqu'à encliquetage des moyens de verrouillage (27, 28). Le récipient pouvant alors être tout à loisir ouvert par l'utilisateur, qui n'aura qu'à retirer le bouchon (3), comme sur la figure 11, pour accéder à la crème (13) par retrait de l'opercule (23), tel qu'illustré à la figure 12.Furthermore, thanks to the cover (23) placed on the intermediate piece (10) before mounting thereof, the container can be supplied to the cosmetology laboratory in the position as illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8. A namely, the pot itself (9) and an upper assembly (30) consisting of the intermediate piece (10) with its cover (23) on which is screwed the closure plug (3) with its seal (7). The laboratory will therefore only have to fill with cream (13) the enclosure (12) of the container body (9), FIG. 9, then put the upper assembly in force (30) by fitting it. ci on the container body (9), Figure 10, until the locking means (27, 28) click into place. The container can then be opened at leisure by the user, who will only have to remove the cap (3), as in FIG. 11, to access the cream (13) by removing the cover (23 ), as shown in Figure 12.
Dans une variante d'exécution tel qu'illustré aux figures 13 et 14, il peut être mis en place une pièce complémentaire destinée à alourdir le récipient. Celle-ci peut être constituée par un lest (31) ayant la forme d'une bague cylindrique réalisée dans un matériau de plus grande densité que celui dont est réalisé le reste des pièces. Cette bague peut ainsi être réalisée avec de la résine de haute densité ou avec de la résine chargée dont la densité peut être, par exemple, de 2,5. Elle est logée dans l'espace périphérique (16) du pot, comme cela apparaît plus clairement à ia figure 13.In an alternative embodiment as illustrated in FIGS. 13 and 14, an additional part can be put in place intended to weigh down the container. This can be constituted by a ballast (31) having the shape of a cylindrical ring made of a material of greater density than that of which the rest of the parts are made. This ring can thus be produced with high density resin or with charged resin whose density can be, for example, 2.5. It is housed in the peripheral space (16) of the pot, as can be seen more clearly in FIG. 13.
Les figures 15 et 16 illustrent une variante selon laquelle, dans le processus de fabrication du récipient, il est utilisé un joint operculé (237) comprenant le joint d'étanchéité (7) et l'opercule (23), les deux éléments étant initialement solidarisés. Le joint operculé (237) est interposé entre le bouchon (3) et la pièce intermédiaire (10), comme illustré à la figure 16, l'ensemble supérieur (30) étant alors passé dans un four à induction provoquant, d'une part, la désolidarisation du joint (7) de l'opercule (23) et, d'autre part, le soudage dudit opercule sur le rebord (20) de la pièce intermédiaire (10). Le joint (7) du joint opercule est avantageusement un assemblage d'une mousse (71) prise en sandwich entre deux couches de polyéthylène (70a, 70b).Figures 15 and 16 illustrate a variant in which, in the process of manufacturing the container, a sealed seal (237) is used comprising the seal (7) and the seal (23), the two elements being initially united. The sealed seal (237) is interposed between the plug (3) and the intermediate piece (10), as illustrated in FIG. 16, the upper assembly (30) then being passed through an induction furnace causing, on the one hand , the separation of the seal (7) from the cover (23) and, on the other hand, the welding of said cover on the flange (20) of the intermediate piece (10). The seal (7) of the seal is advantageously an assembly of a foam (71) sandwiched between two layers of polyethylene (70a, 70b).
Les figures 17, 18 et 19 illustrent un autre mode d'exécution selon lequel la pièce intermédiaire (10) comprend une paroi périphérique complémentaire externe (32) destinée à coopérer et venir en continuation de la deuxième paroi périphérique (15) du pot. On constate dans ce mode d'exécution que l'invention présente un grand nombre de possibilités au niveau de la présentation du récipient qui peut prendre aussi toutes formes, présentations et dimensions.Figures 17, 18 and 19 illustrate another embodiment according to which the intermediate part (10) comprises an external complementary peripheral wall (32) intended to cooperate and come in continuation from the second peripheral wall (15) of the pot. It is noted in this embodiment that the invention presents a large number of possibilities in terms of the presentation of the container which can also take any form, presentation and size.
Par la description qui a été faite, il est constaté que la paroi extérieure du pot (2) peut être en totalité constituée par une paroi périphérique (15) du corps de récipient (9) et plus particulièrement sa deuxième paroi périphérique (15), comme selon le mode d'exécution des figures 1, 16 et 20, ou alors en partie constituée par cette paroi périphérique (15) et en partie par une paroi périphérique solidaire de la pièce intermédiaire (10) tel qu'illustré aux figures 17, 18 et 19. Toutefois, il pourrait très bien en être autrement et notamment comme selon les variantes des figures 21 et 22 selon lesquelles la paroi extérieure du pot est constituée en totalité par une paroi périphérique (32) de la pièce intermédiaire (10).By the description which has been made, it is noted that the external wall of the pot (2) can be entirely constituted by a peripheral wall (15) of the container body (9) and more particularly its second peripheral wall (15), as according to the embodiment of FIGS. 1, 16 and 20, or then partly constituted by this peripheral wall (15) and partly by a peripheral wall secured to the intermediate part (10) as illustrated in FIGS. 17, 18 and 19. However, it could very well be otherwise and in particular as according to the variants of Figures 21 and 22 according to which the outer wall of the pot consists entirely of a peripheral wall (32) of the intermediate piece (10).
Dans le deuxième mode d'exécution illustré à la figure 21, on notera que le prolongement de la paroi périphérique (17a) de la pièce intermédiaire (10) est avantageusement suffisamment long pour que son extrémité soit prise en sandwich au fond du logement (16) pour y être retenue.In the second embodiment illustrated in FIG. 21, it will be noted that the extension of the peripheral wall (17a) of the intermediate piece (10) is advantageously long enough for its end to be sandwiched at the bottom of the housing (16 ) to be retained.
Il va de soi que l'on ne sortirait pas du cadre de l'invention si l'opercule (23) était en matériau du type plastique comme par exemple en polyéthylène, en polypropylène, ou en polychlorure de vinyle, ou autre, voir une association de ces matériau dans un opercule constitué de plusieurs couches.It goes without saying that it would not go beyond the scope of the invention if the cover (23) was of a plastic type material such as for example polyethylene, polypropylene, or polyvinyl chloride, or the like. association of these materials in a cover made up of several layers.
Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits et représentés à titre d'exemples, mais elle comprend aussi tous les équivalents techniques ainsi que leurs combinaisons. Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiments described and shown by way of examples, but it also includes all the technical equivalents and their combinations.
