Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the separate storage of at least two products, mixing them and distributing the mixture as well got.
  • a pusher is provided to cause the tearing of a lid sealing the blister card and allowing the product contained therein to fall into the container, to mix to the other product.
  • the seal is obtained by a tight adjustment of the pusher in a cylindrical part of the container and it is reinforced if necessary by the presence of a sealing skirt surrounding said cylindrical part.
  • a tamper-evident ring can prevent the movement of the pusher as long as it is present on the container.
  • a such a device has a fairly large number of parts components and its manufacture and assembly are therefore relatively expensive.
  • the object of the present invention is to further improve this type device, in particular to reduce its manufacturing cost.
  • a new device for separate storage of at least two products, their mixture and the distribution of the mixture thus obtained of the type comprising a container, at least one removable shutter capable of separating the interior of the container two chambers intended to contain respectively said products before the first use of the device and a pusher, to be moved during the first use to cause the departure or tearing of said shutter and the connection of the two chambers, device characterized in that it comprises a seal seal comprising a part fixed to the container and a part deformable made of an elastically deformable material, suitable for deform when the pusher is pressed to accompany the mcuvement of the latter while constituting a tight barrier between the pusher and the inside of the container.
  • the manufacture and assembly of the device can be simplified since the pusher and the container no longer has to be adjusted precisely to get tightness during use and storage.
  • the pusher and the container can also have a wide variety of shapes.
  • the deformable part of the seal made in a elastically deformable material, behaves like a spring allowing the pusher to be recalled each time it is released by the user.
  • the pusher can thus be used to cause a overpressure inside the container each time it is pressed and the departure of a predetermined quantity of mixture.
  • the pusher is connected to the container by the minus a bridge of breakable material to break during the first use.
  • the manufacturing of the device is then simplified since the pusher can be produced by molding in one piece with part of the container.
  • the material bridge (s) which are broken during the first use advantageously serve to witness of inviolability. This avoids the use of a ring of tamper-evidentness reported on the container as it is encountered on the devices of the prior art.
  • the pusher is shaped to cause, during the first use, a deformation of said part deformable so as to form a pointed zone intended to strike the shutter.
  • the seal is made in a thermoplastic elastomer so that recycling the device is facilitated.
  • the deformability of the joint can be obtained by particular conformation such as a localized thinning of its wall.
  • the deformable part can still be shaped of the joint according to a bellows.
  • the deformable part of the joint has a general shape of a thimble whose transverse dimension is chosen so that at least a portion of said portion deformable remains substantially in contact with the wall of the container when moving the pusher.
  • one of the products is contained in a chimney of the container, the pusher is mounted on the container so that it can be moved over a stroke sinking greater than or equal to the maximum product height contained in said chimney and said deformable part present one end adapted to slide in contact with the wall of said fireplace.
  • the free end of the deformable part may have a or several reliefs intended to create one or more primers of tear the shutter or facilitate its departure by exerting a localized push likely to favor its displacement relative to the container.
  • the container is formed by the assembly of a hollow body and a end part comprising a base to be fixed to said body and a cap fixed to the base and connected by at least one bridge of material to the button before the first use of the device.
  • said base, said cap and said pusher are molded in one piece, the base being connected by a film hinge at the cap.
  • the manufacture and assembly of the device are greatly simplified compared to the devices prior art.
  • the cap can be made so independent of the base and fixed on the latter by snap-in.
  • the base and the hairstyle with different profiles depending on the desired aesthetic, but preferably chosen so as to confer on the end part, after assembly of the base and the cap, a shape capable of serve as a grip or stop for the user's fingers to prevent the device from sliding when the device presses the pusher.
  • the shutter can be constituted by an aluminum cover heat-sealed on said base. Alternatively, it may have come from molding with the container. It can also be made up of a plug fitted in the container.
  • the part of the pusher that comes into contact with the seal sealing can take various forms.
  • means are provided for retaining the push on the container when the material bridge (s) which serve as a witness to inviolability have been severed.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 show a device 1 in accordance with a first embodiment of the invention, comprising a container 2 and a shutter 3 separating the interior of the container in two chambers 4 and 5.
  • the chamber 4 located in the lower part of the container contains a liquid product L and the chamber 5 located in the upper part of the container of a powdery product P.
  • the volume of chamber 4 is significantly higher than that of room 5.
  • the container 2 is formed by the assembly of a part end 7 and a hollow body 6, generally tubular and elongated along a longitudinal axis X in the example described.
  • the body 6 is provided at its lower end with a neck 8 defining an orifice 9 for the distribution of the mixture.
  • the orifice 9 is closed by a removable closure cap 10 which can be fixed by any means known per se on col 8.
  • the cap 10 comprises an internal tubular skirt 11 shaped to snap onto a annular bead 12 provided in the vicinity of the base of the neck 8 and a central pin 13 shaped to close the orifice 9.
  • the cap 10 and the neck 8 may alternatively be shaped to cooperate by screwing and one can also provide any other means of sealing the dispensing orifice 9 without departing from the scope of this invention.
  • the end part 7 has a base 14 intended for be snapped onto the open upper end of the body 6 and a cap 15.
  • the cap 15 is connected by a material bridge 16 forming a film hinge at the base 14 and it is fixed by snap-fastening on the latter after pivoting 180 ° as shown in Figure 4.
  • the base 14 includes an outer shell 17 extended at its lower part upwards by a cylindrical internal skirt 18 coming to surround the upper end of the body 6 when the part end 7 is in place, as shown in FIG. 2.
  • the internal skirt 18 is connected, by bridges of material 19, to a central part 20 having in the lower part a crown 34 defining an annular groove 21 open downwards and shaped to engage the upper end of the body 6.
  • the part 20 comprises in the upper part a chimney 22 centered on the longitudinal axis X.
  • the chimney 22 is generally cylindrical and it is closed at its lower end by the shutter 3 and at its upper end by a seal sealing 23.
  • the shutter 3 is constituted by an aluminum cover heat-sealed on an annular surface 24 bordering the orifice lower chimney 22.
  • the seal 23 is made of an elastic material deformable and has a central wall 25 engaged in the chimney 22 and contour adapted to that of the cross section from the fireplace.
  • the wall 25 is circular and has a corresponding external diameter substantially at the internal diameter of the chimney 22.
  • the wall 25 is extended upwards at its periphery by a wall 26 forming a annular groove open downwards and intended to close so sealing the upper end of the chimney 22.
  • the wall 26 is extended, radially outward, at its end opposite to that connected to the wall 25, by an annular wall 27 which extends substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis X.
  • the wall 25 and the portion of wall 26 located inside the chimney 22 constitute a thermowell.
  • the cap 15 comprises a shell 29 forming with the shell 17 of the base 14 and after snap-fastening on the latter, a outwardly convex annular bulge, as shown in Figures 1 and 2.
  • the shells 17 and 29 may have on their external surface of the reliefs intended to give the device 1 a particular aesthetic and allowing, if necessary, to improve ergonomics and maintenance of the device 1 during use.
  • We referenced 41 and 42 in Figure 4 the annular grooves formed respectively on the shells 17 and 29 and intended to allow the snap-fastening of the latter.
  • the shell 29 is extended at its radially most internal by a cylindrical internal skirt 30 coming, when the cap 15 is fixed to the base 14, in contact with the wall 27 of the seal 23, as shown in Figure 2.
  • the internal skirt 30 is connected, until the first use of the device, by bridges of breakable material 31 to one pusher 32.
  • This pusher 32 is internally provided with a barrel 33 used to transmit the thrust, as will be explained below.
  • the barrel 33 is connected at one end to a wall 35 substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis X and constituting the top of the pusher 32.
  • This wall 35 is extended at its periphery by a outer skirt 36 partially surrounding the barrel 33.
  • the material bridges 31 connect the external skirt 36 and the skirt internal 30.
  • the base 14, the cap 15 and pusher 32 are produced in one piece by injection molding in the configuration shown in the Figure 4.
  • the cover 3 is heat sealed on the part 20 then the chimney 22 is filled with product P and the seal 23 is put in square.
  • the cap 15 is pivoted 180 ° and snapped on the base 14.
  • the wall 27 of the seal 23 is then pinched between the upper surface of the crown 34 and the free edge of the internal skirt 30, as shown in FIG. 2.
  • the crown 34 may have a rib on its face opposite the seal 23 annular 28 intended, where appropriate, to promote sealing obtained between the part 20 and the cap 15.
  • the chamber 5 containing the product P is insulated thanks to the ambient air seal 23 for a good conservation of product P until the first use of the device.
  • means are provided for retaining the pusher 32 on the end part 7 after breaking of the bridges material 31.
  • the end part 7 is snapped onto the body 6 after filling of the latter with product L, the neck 8 having been previously fitted with the closing cap 10.
  • a bead annular 37 is formed in the vicinity of the upper end of the body 6 and the base 14 has internal projections 38 shaped to retain the end portion 7 on the body 6 when the end part 7 is fixed to the body 6.
  • the filling of the body 6 with the product L is preferably incomplete so as to provide a gas volume facilitating the mixture of the two products after departure or tearing of the shutter 3.
  • the user exerts pressure on pusher 32 and breaks the bridges of material 31 which retains it to the internal skirt 30.
  • the depression of the pusher 32 exerts pressure on the seal 23 which transmits it in the embodiment described in product P contained in chamber 5, to cause tearing of the cover 3 and the ejection of the product P inside the body 6 to be mixed with product L.
  • the wall 25 is provided with its periphery and on its face in contact with the product P of a relief 40 intended to create a primer for tearing the shutter 3.
  • the force to be exerted on the wall 35 of the pusher to cause the communication between rooms 4 and 5 is thus reduced, and the shutter 3 starts or tears apart predetermined.
  • the barrel 33 does not exert any notable thrust on the shutter 3 as long as the material bridges 31 are not broken. The rupture of these latter occurring relatively brutally, the bole 33 then behaves like a striker capable of projecting the product P wholly or almost deeply within product L, from the first use of the device 1, whatever the orientation of the latter. This results in rapid mixing and effective of product P within product L.
  • the seal 23 deforms to accompany the movement of the bole 33 while continuing to close sealingly the chamber 5 at its upper end, as shown in Figure 3. More specifically, in the example of embodiment described, the portion of the wall 26 located inside of the chimney 22 elastically stretches when the pusher 32, thanks to the elasticity of the material which constitutes it, the elongation of this portion of the wall 26 which can reach 10% or more than its original height. When the user releases this one, the portion of the joint 23 which has elastically deformed tends to return to its original shape and bring the pusher 32 into its original position. We will notice that at the end of its race the outer skirt 36 abuts against the wall 27 of the seal 23. It is thus possible to avoid any shock between parts in rigid plastic material, which improves comfort in use and reduces the risk of damage to device 1.
  • the pusher 32 is advantageously used to cause each time it is pressed and moves on a run predetermined with respect to the container a slight overpressure at the interior of the container and the departure of a predetermined amount mixing through port 9.
  • FIG. 5 shows a device 1 'in accordance with a second embodiment of the invention.
  • This device includes certain elements identical to those of the previous embodiment example. These elements relate to figures with identical references and will not be described again.
  • the device 1 'shown in Figure 5 differs in particular of the device 1 previously described by the fact that the shutter is produced, no longer in the form of a seal heat-sealed, but in the form of a thin 3 'wall coming from formation by molding with the rest of the base 14.
  • the wall 3 ' is connected to its periphery by a ring of thinned material 41 so as to facilitate its detachment from the part 20.
  • a seal 23 ' which differs from the seal 23 previously described by the fact that the wall 25 is connected to the rest of the seal by a wall 26 'having an annular recess 47 on its internal surface, intended to facilitate the deformation of the joint when it accompanies the downward movement of the pusher. It is thus possible to conform the joint so that it deforms in a predetermined manner when the pusher is pressed.
  • the pusher 32 ′ is shaped in the exemplary embodiment described in such a way as to push on a weak area extended to the center of the wall 25 of the joint 23 '. More specifically, the push-button 32 'is shaped to provoke during the first use, deformation of the deformable part of the seal so as to form a pointed percussion area of the shutter, the was 33 of the previous embodiment was replaced in the present embodiment by a set of fins 43 arranged according to a cone converging towards the center of the wall 25.
  • FIG. 6 shows a 1 "device conforming to a third embodiment of the invention.
  • This device 1 differers from the previous ones in particular by the fact that the shutter is constituted by a 3 "plug fitted in the lower mouth of the chimney 22. Furthermore, the joint 23 “present, in the center of the wall 25 and on its face at contact of product P, a pin 44 whose apex rests on the shutter 3 ". Thus, when the pusher 32 is pressed, the thrust is transmitted via this pin 44 directly to the shutter 3 "without passing through a thickness significant of product P. This avoids compacting product P at during the initial push-in.
  • notches 45 formed at the periphery of the external skirt 36 of the pusher 32 and capable of pass elastically, when the pusher 32 is depressed the first time, projections 46 formed on the surface radially internal of the skirt 30. These projections 46 are shaped to retain the pusher 32 on the cover 15 after the first use of the device.
  • the wall 25 remains substantially in contact with the surface radially internal of the chimney 22 and the pusher moves advantageously over a stroke greater than or equal to the height maximum of product in chamber 5 so that we ensure ejection of almost all of the product contained in chamber 5 during the initial depressing of the pusher, regardless of the device position.
  • the dispensing orifice can be of any nature, be constituted for example by a porous applicator such than a sintered foam, by a brush or a dropper.
