Description

La présente invention a trait à un conditionnement pour le mélange extemporané de deux produits, tels que ceux utilisés dans le domaine de la coloration capillaire, où il est nécessaire de conditionner d'une part une solution de colorant destinée à une teinture pour cheveux et, d'autre part, un oxydant, nécessaire à la mise en oeuvre de la solution de colorant.The present invention relates to a packaging for extemporaneous mixing of two products, such as those used in the field of hair coloring, where it is necessary to condition on the one hand a dye solution intended for a hair dye and, on the other hand, an oxidant, necessary for setting dye solution artwork.

Le conditionnement selon l'invention est de type comprenant :

  • un premier flacon destiné à contenir un premier produit, ce flacon étant ouvert à sa base en forme de jupe et étant muni, au sommet, d'un embout de distribution;
  • des moyens de raccordement fixés sur la base du premier flacon, comportant une cheminée centrale propre à recevoir en partie haute un obturateur séparable permettant la fermeture du premier flacon;
  • un deuxième flacon destiné à contenir un second produit, muni d'un goulot apte à être engagé dans ladite cheminée centrale, ce goulot étant équipé d'un moyen de fermeture amovible, le goulot portant des moyens d'entraínement pour, après enlèvement du moyen de fermeture, coopérer avec des moyens complémentaires prévus sur la cheminée centrale, pour permettre l'expulsion de l'obturateur et permettre le mélange des deux produits.
The packaging according to the invention is of the type comprising:
  • a first bottle intended to contain a first product, this bottle being open at its base in the form of a skirt and being provided, at the top, with a dispensing nozzle;
  • connection means fixed on the base of the first bottle, comprising a central chimney suitable for receiving in the upper part a separable shutter allowing the closure of the first bottle;
  • a second bottle intended to contain a second product, provided with a neck capable of being engaged in said central chimney, this neck being equipped with a removable closure means, the neck carrying drive means for, after removal of the means closing, cooperate with additional means provided on the central chimney, to allow the expulsion of the shutter and allow the mixing of the two products.

Le brevet FR 2 680 357 montre un conditionnement de ce type dans lequel les moyens de raccordement sont constitués d'une pièce, de type frette dont la fonction est multiple. Cette pièce en effet supporte l'obturateur, permet d'une part l'accrochage de façon étanche avec le premier flacon et d'autre part l'accrochage avec le second flacon, et définit également l'habillage extérieur de la zone de raccordement entre les deux flacons. La pièce de raccordement est montée par claquage sur la base du premier flacon, l'étanchéité étant assurée par un montage en force d'une partie de la pièce de raccordement sur le premier flacon. L'étanchéité résultant de ce montage peut se révéler parfois insuffisante, notamment quand la jupe formée par la base du premier flacon est de diamètre relativement important (typiquement de l'ordre de 3 à 5 cm) . En effet, notamment lorsque un tel conditionnement est réalisé en matériau thermoplastique, les garanties sur la qualité de réalisation d'un tel flacon, ainsi que les tolérances des cotes sont supérieures à celles d'un flacon traditionnel. La précarité de ce type d'étanchéité est renforcée par le fait qu'en position verticale, la zone d'étanchéité baigne dans le liquide, ce qui peut modifier de façon défavorable les propriétés du matériau thermoplastique, affectant ainsi de manière sensible l'étanchéité réalisée.Patent FR 2 680 357 shows a packaging of this type in which the connection means consist of a part, of the hoop type, the function is multiple. This part in fact supports the shutter, allows on the one hand the watertight attachment with the first bottle and on the other hand the attachment with the second bottle, and also defines the outer covering of the connection between the two bottles. The connection piece is mounted by snap on the base of the first bottle, sealing being ensured by mounting in force of part of the connecting piece on the first bottle. The tightness resulting from this assembly can sometimes prove to be insufficient, especially when the skirt formed by the base of the first bottle is of diameter relatively large (typically around 3 to 5 cm). Indeed, in particular when such packaging is made of thermoplastic material, the guarantees on the quality of production of such a bottle, as well as the tolerances of ratings are higher than those of a traditional bottle. Precariousness of this type sealing is reinforced by the fact that in the vertical position, the sealing zone is immersed in the liquid, which can adversely affect the properties of the thermoplastic material, thereby significantly affecting sealing carried out.

Par ailleurs, le montage par vissage d'une telle pièce de raccordement est exclue dans l'hypothèse où le conditionnement, notamment au voisinage de la pièce de raccordement, est de section non circulaire, par exemple ovale. En effet, en raison des tolérances de fabrication, il serait impossible de garantir pour un serrage étanche de la pièce de raccordement sur le premier flacon, une position angulaire suffisamment précise pour avoir un alignement de la jupe d'habillage avec la surface extérieure du premier flacon.Furthermore, the screw mounting of such a connecting piece is excluded in the event that the packaging, in particular in the vicinity of the piece of connection, is of non-circular cross-section, for example oval. Indeed, due manufacturing tolerances, it would be impossible to guarantee for a tightening tightness of the connecting piece on the first bottle, an angular position precise enough to have an alignment of the dress skirt with the outer surface of the first bottle.

Aussi, est-ce un des objets de l'invention que de fournir un conditionnement pour le mélange extemporané de deux produits, qui ne présente pas les inconvénients mentionnés ci-avant.It is therefore one of the objects of the invention to provide packaging for the extemporaneous mixture of two products, which does not have the disadvantages mentioned above.

C'est en particulier un objet de l'invention que de fournir un tel dispositif, assurant à la fois une bonne étanchéité, tout en autorisant des sections non circulaires.It is in particular an object of the invention to provide such a device, ensuring both a good seal, while allowing non-circular sections.

C'est encore un autre objet du conditionnement selon l'invention que de réaliser un conditionnement de type précité, qui soit simple de réalisation et d'utilisation, et économique.It is yet another object of the packaging according to the invention to produce a packaging of the aforementioned type, which is simple to make and use, and economic.

D'autres objets de l'invention apparaítront de manière détaillée dans la description qui suit. Other objects of the invention will appear in detail in the description following.

Selon l'invention, ces objets sont atteints en réalisant un conditionnement du genre défini précédemment, caractérisé par le fait que les moyens de raccordement sont constitués de deux pièces distinctes, une première pièce définissant la partie haute de la cheminée centrale supportant l'obturateur, et vissée de manière étanche sur la jupe du premier flacon, une seconde pièce montée sur la première et formant une partie basse de la cheminée centrale, portant lesdits moyens complémentaires, des moyens étant prévus pour immobiliser la seconde pièce en rotation par rapport à la première.According to the invention, these objects are achieved by packaging the genre defined above, characterized in that the means of connection consist of two separate pieces, a first piece defining the upper part of the central chimney supporting the shutter, and screwed tightly on the skirt of the first bottle, a second piece mounted on the first and forming a lower part of the central chimney, bearing said additional means, means being provided for immobilize the second part in rotation relative to the first.

Ainsi selon l'invention, la première pièce, outre le fait de porter l'obturateur amovible, assure la fermeture étanche de l'ouverture délimitée par la base du premier flacon. La seconde pièce, outre le fait de porter des moyens participant à l'expulsion de l'obturateur amovible, porte avantageusement des moyens de type jupe d'habillage, en alignement avec la surface extérieure de l'ensemble du conditionnement. Le fait de déconnecter la fonction étanchéité de la fonction habillage permet de ne pas sacrifier l'une aux dépens de l'autre et vice versa. En effet, l'étanchéité, assurée principalement par le vissage de la première pièce sur le flacon peut être aussi bonne que possible, en serrant la première pièce à volonté sur le flacon. La seconde pièce peut ensuite être montée sans indexation sensible sur la première, selon la position angulaire voulue, de manière à, le cas échéant, aligner correctement la jupe d'habillage par rapport au reste du conditionnement.Thus according to the invention, the first part, in addition to carrying the shutter removable, ensures the watertight closure of the opening delimited by the base of the first bottle. The second piece, in addition to wearing means participating in the expulsion of the removable shutter, advantageously carries means of the type covering skirt, in alignment with the outer surface of the entire conditioning. Disconnecting the sealing function from the function dressing does not sacrifice one at the expense of the other and vice versa. In effect, tightness, mainly ensured by screwing the first part onto the bottle can be as good as possible, by tightening the first piece to will on the bottle. The second part can then be mounted without indexing sensitive on the first, according to the desired angular position, so as to if necessary, correctly align the trim skirt with respect to the rest of the conditioning.

Avantageusement, le conditionnement selon l'invention comprend des moyens pour, après vissage de la première pièce sur la base du premier flacon, bloquer en rotation ladite première pièce par rapport au premier flacon. On évite ainsi toute fausse manoeuvre pouvant conduire à la désolidarisation du moyen de raccordement et du premier flacon. De tels moyens peuvent inclure des crans dont le profil autorise la rotation dans un sens de la première pièce par rapport au premier flacon, en vue du vissage, mais empêche toute rotation dans le sens inverse. Advantageously, the packaging according to the invention comprises means for, after screwing the first part onto the base of the first bottle, block in rotation said first part relative to the first bottle. We thus avoid any false maneuver which could lead to the separation of the means of connection and the first bottle. Such means may include notches the profile of which allows the first part to rotate in one direction relative to the first bottle, for screwing on, but prevents any rotation in the direction reverse.

Selon un mode de réalisation préférentiel, la seconde pièce est montée à force sur la première et maintenue axialement par un dispositif de claquage, les moyens pour immobiliser la seconde pièce en rotation étant constitués de stries disposées sur une surface interne de la seconde pièce, et destinées à coopérer avec des stries complémentaires portées par une surface externe de la première pièce. Les stries sont réalisées de manière à couvrir une faible portion angulaire (typiquement inférieure à 5°), de manière à permettre un alignement relativement précis d'une jupe d'habillage portée par la seconde pièce par rapport au premier flacon. Cette caractéristique est tout particulièrement avantageuse lorsque le conditionnement, au moins au voisinage du moyen de raccordement, est de section non circulaire.According to a preferred embodiment, the second part is mounted by force on the first and held axially by a snap device, the means to immobilize the second rotating part consisting of streaks arranged on an internal surface of the second part, and intended to cooperate with complementary streaks carried by an external surface of the first part. The ridges are made to cover a small angular portion (typically less than 5 °), so as to allow relatively alignment precise of a dress skirt worn by the second part compared to the first bottle. This characteristic is particularly advantageous when the packaging, at least in the vicinity of the connection means, is non-circular section.

L'obturateur peut être monté par claquage sur la partie haute de la cheminée centrale.The shutter can be snapped onto the upper part of the chimney central.

Une lèvre d'étanchéité peut être disposée sur la surface interne de la partie haute de la cheminée centrale, de manière à faire étanchéité entre ladite surface interne et le goulot lorsque ce dernier est en position d'expulsion de l'obturateur. D'autres moyens toutefois pourraient être utilisés pour réaliser une telle étanchéité.A sealing lip can be arranged on the internal surface of the upper part of the central chimney, so as to seal between said internal surface and the neck when the latter is in the expulsion position of the shutter. Others means however could be used to achieve such a seal.

Ledit moyen de fermeture amovible peut être constitué d'un bouchon, des moyens de couplage, en particulier du type filetage, étant prévus entre le goulot et le bouchon, les moyens d'entraínement complémentaires étant prévus sur une surface interne de la portion basse de la cheminée centrale et étant agencés de manière à ne pas interférer avec la partie des moyens de couplage prévus sur le goulot du deuxième flacon.Said removable closure means may consist of a plug, means coupling, in particular of the thread type, being provided between the neck and the plug, the additional drive means being provided on a internal surface of the lower portion of the central chimney and being arranged so as not to interfere with the part of the coupling means provided on the neck of the second bottle.

Les moyens d'entraínement comprennent avantageusement, au moins un téton sur une surface externe du goulot, et en saillie radialement vers l'extérieur, les moyens complémentaires prévus sur la surface interne de la cheminée centrale comprenant au moins une rampe hélicoïdale propre à coopérer avec le téton. The drive means advantageously comprise at least one stud on an external surface of the neck, and projecting radially outwards, the additional means provided on the internal surface of the central chimney comprising at least one helical ramp adapted to cooperate with the stud.

Généralement, deux tétons sont prévus, auxquels correspondent deux rampes hélicoïdales diamétralement opposées.Generally, two nipples are provided, to which correspond two ramps diametrically opposed helicals.

Selon un mode de réalisation préférentiel, les moyens de couplage sont constitués d'un filetage, la (ou les) rampe(s) hélicoïdale(s) ayant un pas supérieur à celui du filetage. Ainsi, pour un faible angle de rotation du second flacon par rapport au premier, on peut obtenir un important déplacement axial du goulot du second flacon à l'intérieur de la cheminée centrale, en vue de l'expulsion du moyen de fermeture. Ainsi, le déplacement axial du goulot relativement à la cheminée centrale, nécessaire pour expulser l'obturateur, peut être obtenu par une rotation de moins d'un tour du second flacon par rapport au premier.According to a preferred embodiment, the coupling means are consisting of a thread, the helical ramp (s) having a higher pitch to that of threading. Thus, for a small angle of rotation of the second bottle by compared to the first, it is possible to obtain a large axial displacement of the neck of the second bottle inside the central chimney, with a view to expelling the closing means. Thus, the axial displacement of the neck relative to the central chimney, necessary to expel the shutter, can be obtained by a rotation of less than one turn of the second bottle relative to the first.

Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, le conditionnement selon l'invention forme un volume engendré par une surface qui, au moins au voisinage des moyens de raccordement, est de section non circulaire, par exemple ovale.According to a particular embodiment, the packaging according to the invention forms a volume generated by a surface which, at least in the vicinity of the connection means, is of non-circular section, for example oval.

La partie basse de la cheminée centrale peut comporter un frein de dévissage propre à coopérer avec un téton du deuxième flacon. Un tel frein de dévissage peut être constitué par une saillie franchie par le téton en fin de vissage dans la rampe hélicoïdale.The lower part of the central chimney may include a loosening brake able to cooperate with a nipple of the second bottle. Such an unscrewing brake may consist of a projection crossed by the stud at the end of screwing in the helical ramp.

Avantageusement, le téton est prévu sur une portée cylindrique dont le diamètre extérieur est sensiblement égal au diamètre extérieur du bouchon destiné à fermer le deuxième flacon pendant le stockage, le diamètre interne de la partie basse de la cheminée centrale étant suffisant pour permettre l'entrée de ladite portée cylindrique et donc du bouchon.Advantageously, the stud is provided on a cylindrical seat whose diameter outside is substantially equal to the outside diameter of the plug intended for close the second bottle during storage, the internal diameter of the part bottom of the central chimney being sufficient to allow the entry of said cylindrical bearing surface and therefore of the plug.

En position de stockage, il est possible d'engager le goulot du deuxième flacon, muni du bouchon, dans la cheminée centrale du moyen de raccordement, ce qui réduit l'encombrement. Préférentiellement, le conditionnement est agencé de manière que, en position de stockage, le bouchon puisse s'enfoncer sensiblement complètement dans la partie basse de la cheminée centrale. In the storage position, it is possible to engage the neck of the second bottle, fitted with the plug, in the central chimney of the connection means, which reduces clutter. Preferably, the packaging is arranged to so that, in the storage position, the plug can be inserted substantially completely in the lower part of the central chimney.

Selon un mode de réalisation spécifique, la première pièce est constituée d'un organe formant une première gorge annulaire en U, comportant une paroi intérieure, une paroi extérieure, et un fond reliant la paroi intérieure à la paroi extérieure, la paroi intérieure se prolongeant par une extension de plus faible diamètre, formant la partie haute de la cheminée centrale, la surface interne de la paroi extérieure comportant un filetage propre à coopérer avec un filetage correspondant prévu sur la base du premier flacon. Une jupe d'étanchéité peut être disposée dans le fond de la gorge en U entre la paroi intérieure et la paroi extérieure, ladite jupe d'étanchéité ayant un profil apte à coopérer (par écrasement notamment) avec un profil complémentaire formé sur la jupe formée par la base du premier flacon, de manière à parfaire l'étanchéité entre le premier flacon et la première pièce. Avantageusement, le profil de la jupe d'étanchéité, du coté destiné à coopérer avec la base du premier flacon, est de forme tronconique, ou inclinée, de manière à assurer, lors du vissage de la première pièce sur le premier flacon, une étanchéité satisfaisante, et ce sous l'effet d'une poussée exercée par un profil tronconique correspondant, prévu sur la surface interne de la base du flacon.According to a specific embodiment, the first part consists of a member forming a first annular U-shaped groove, comprising a wall interior, an exterior wall, and a bottom connecting the interior wall to the wall outer, the inner wall being extended by a lower extension diameter, forming the upper part of the central chimney, the internal surface of the outer wall having a thread suitable for cooperating with a thread correspondent provided on the basis of the first bottle. A sealing skirt can be arranged in the bottom of the U-shaped groove between the inner wall and the wall exterior, said sealing skirt having a profile capable of cooperating (by crushing in particular) with a complementary profile formed on the formed skirt by the base of the first bottle, so as to perfect the seal between the first bottle and the first piece. Advantageously, the profile of the sealing skirt, of the side intended to cooperate with the base of the first bottle, is of frustoconical shape, or inclined, so as to ensure, when the first part is screwed onto the first bottle, a satisfactory seal, and this under the effect of a push exerted by a corresponding frustoconical profile, provided on the internal surface of the base of the bottle.

De même, la seconde pièce peut comprendre une seconde gorge annulaire en U, apte à recevoir à force la première gorge annulaire en U, ladite seconde gorge annulaire en U comportant une paroi intérieure, une paroi extérieure, et un fond reliant la paroi intérieure à la paroi extérieure, la paroi intérieure formant la partie basse de ladite cheminée centrale, des moyens étant prévus de manière à immobiliser axialement ladite seconde pièce. De préférence, une jupe d'habillage est portée par la paroi extérieure de la seconde gorge annulaire.Similarly, the second part may include a second annular U-shaped groove, suitable for receiving the first annular U-shaped groove, said second groove U-shaped annular having an inner wall, an outer wall, and a bottom connecting the inner wall to the outer wall, the inner wall forming the part bottom of said central chimney, means being provided so as to axially immobilizing said second part. Preferably a dress skirt is carried by the outer wall of the second annular groove.

Le conditionnement selon l'invention peut être réalisé en matériau thermoplastique choisi parmi les polyéthylènes (PE), les polypropylènes (PP), les polyéthylènes téréphtalates (PET), les chlorures de polyvinyle (PVC), ou en un complexe de type PE/Ethylène vinyle alcool (EVOH)/PE, PE/PET, etc.. The packaging according to the invention can be made of material thermoplastic chosen from polyethylenes (PE), polypropylenes (PP), polyethylene terephthalates (PET), polyvinyl chlorides (PVC), or in a PE / Ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH) / PE, PE / PET complex, etc.

Alternativement, le deuxième flacon peut être réalisé en verre, qui constitue une barrière efficace à l'oxygène de l'air, pour son contenu.Alternatively, the second bottle can be made of glass, which constitutes a effective barrier to oxygen in the air, for its content.

Avantageusement, le conditionnement selon l'invention est utilisé pour un produit de coloration capillaire, le premier produit étant un oxydant, et le second produit un colorant d'oxydation. Alternativement, le premier produit peut être un activateur (acide thioglycolique par exemple) et le second produit, une lotion de base pour permanente capillaire.Advantageously, the packaging according to the invention is used for a product hair coloring, the first product being an oxidant, and the second product an oxidation dye. Alternatively, the first product can be an activator (thioglycolic acid for example) and the second product, a base lotion for permanent capillary.

L'invention consiste, mises à part les dispositions exposées ci-dessus, en un certain nombre d'autres dispositions qui seront explicitées ci-après, à propos d'exemples de réalisation non limitatifs, décrits en référence aux figures annexées, parmi lesquelles :

  • la figure 1 représente une vue (partiellement en coupe) d'un mode de réalisation du conditionnement selon l'invention;

  • les figures 5 et 6 sont des vues partiellement en coupe du conditionnement selon la figure 1, à des fins d'illustration de sa mise en oeuvre.
The invention consists, apart from the arrangements set out above, of a certain number of other arrangements which will be explained below, with reference to nonlimiting exemplary embodiments, described with reference to the appended figures, among which:
  • FIG. 1 represents a view (partially in section) of an embodiment of the packaging according to the invention;

  • Figures 4A and 4B illustrate detailed views of the packaging of Figure 1; and
  • Figures 5 and 6 are partially sectional views of the packaging according to Figure 1, for illustrative purposes of its implementation.

En se reportant aux dessins, notamment aux figures 1 à 4A-4B, on peut voir un conditionnement C à deux flacons 1, 2 permettant de stocker séparément l'un de l'autre deux produits, généralement deux produits liquides, et de les mélanger au moment de leur utilisation.Referring to the drawings, in particular to Figures 1 to 4A-4B, one can see a packaging C with two bottles 1, 2 enabling one of the other two products, usually two liquid products, and mix them with time of use.

Le premier flacon 1 est destiné à contenir un premier produit liquide, par exemple un oxydant, destiné à être mélangé, au moment de l'utilisation, avec un colorant d'oxydation, contenu dans le deuxième flacon, pour la teinture des cheveux. The first bottle 1 is intended to contain a first liquid product, for example an oxidant, intended to be mixed, at the time of use, with a dye of oxidation, contained in the second bottle, for dyeing hair.

Le flacon 1 est ouvert à sa base, constituée par une jupe cylindrique 3 à section circulaire. La jupe 3 se raccorde à la paroi de la majeure partie du flacon 1 par un épaulement 4. Des crans 50 sont disposés de manière régulière sur la périphérie de l'épaulement 4, et constituent, comme on le verra plus en détail par la suite, des moyens pour verrouiller une pièce 80 d'un moyen de raccordement 8 de type frette, sur le flacon 1. La jupe 3 est munie, au voisinage de son bord inférieur d'un filetage 5, apte à coopérer avec un filetage correspondant 81 prévu sur la partie 80 de la frette 8, destinée à être montée sur la jupe 3. A son sommet, situé sur l'extrémité opposée à la jupe 3, le flacon 1 est muni d'un col fileté 6 sur lequel peut être vissé de manière étanche un embout de distribution 7 fermé, et dont la pointe peut être cassée pour la création d'une ouverture au moment de l'utilisation, en vue de verser le produit.The bottle 1 is open at its base, constituted by a cylindrical skirt 3 with section circular. The skirt 3 is connected to the wall of the major part of the bottle 1 by a shoulder 4. Notches 50 are arranged regularly on the periphery of shoulder 4, and constitute, as will be seen in more detail below, means for locking a part 80 of a connection means 8 of the type hoop, on the bottle 1. The skirt 3 is provided, near its lower edge with a thread 5, able to cooperate with a corresponding thread 81 provided on the part 80 of the hoop 8, intended to be mounted on the skirt 3. At its top, located on the end opposite to the skirt 3, the bottle 1 is provided with a threaded neck 6 on which can be tightly screwed on a closed dispensing nozzle 7, the tip of which can be broken for the creation of an opening at the time of use, in view of pouring the product.

Une pièce intermédiaire 8, en matière plastique, est réalisée sous forme de deux pièces distinctes 80, 82, aptes à former, en position montée représentée à la figure 1, une cheminée centrale 83, à section circulaire. La pièce 80 est constituée d'un organe 84 formant une première gorge annulaire en U, comportant une paroi intérieure 85, une paroi extérieure 86, et un fond 87 reliant la paroi intérieure à la paroi extérieure, la paroi intérieure 85 se prolongeant par une extension 88 de plus faible diamètre, formant la partie haute de la cheminée centrale 83. Cette portion 88 de plus faible diamètre, est propre à recevoir un obturateur 10, formé par une sorte de coupelle engagée de manière étanche, par exemple par claquage, sur le bord libre de l'extension 88. L'obturateur 10 peut être séparé de la cheminée centrale 83 sous l'action d'une poussée exercée sur cet obturateur 10, en direction du flacon 1, à l'intérieur duquel pénétrera l'obturateur ainsi séparé.An intermediate piece 8, made of plastic, is produced in the form of two separate parts 80, 82, capable of forming, in the mounted position shown in the Figure 1, a central chimney 83, circular section. Room 80 is made up a member 84 forming a first annular U-shaped groove, comprising a wall interior 85, an exterior wall 86, and a bottom 87 connecting the interior wall to the outer wall, the inner wall 85 extending by an extension 88 of smaller diameter, forming the upper part of the central chimney 83. This portion 88 of smaller diameter, is suitable for receiving a shutter 10, formed by a sort of tightly engaged cup, for example by snap, on the free edge of the extension 88. The shutter 10 can be separated from the central chimney 83 under the action of a thrust exerted on this shutter 10, towards the bottle 1, inside which the shutter thus separated will penetrate.

La surface interne de la paroi extérieure 86 comporte un filetage 81 propre à coopérer avec un filetage correspondant 5 prévu sur la base 3 du premier flacon 1. Une jupe d'étanchéité 89 peut être disposée dans le fond 87 de la gorge en U entre la paroi intérieure 85 et la paroi extérieure 86, la surface de ladite jupe d'étanchéité en regard de la paroi extérieure 86, présentant un profil tronconique ou incliné 90, apte à se déformer radialement vers l'intérieur lors du vissage de la première pièce sur le flacon 1, sous la pression exercée par un profil tronconique (ou incliné) correspondant 104 formé sur la surface interne de la jupe 3, de manière à parfaire l'étanchéité entre le premier flacon 1 et la première pièce 80. D'autres profils d'étanchéité encore peuvent être utilisés selon l'invention.The internal surface of the external wall 86 has a thread 81 suitable for cooperate with a corresponding thread 5 provided on the base 3 of the first bottle 1. A sealing skirt 89 can be placed in the bottom 87 of the U-shaped groove between the inner wall 85 and the outer wall 86, the surface of said skirt sealing opposite the outer wall 86, having a frustoconical profile or inclined 90, able to deform radially inward when the first part on the bottle 1, under the pressure exerted by a frustoconical profile (or inclined) corresponding 104 formed on the internal surface of the skirt 3, so as to perfect the seal between the first bottle 1 and the first part 80. Still other sealing profiles can be used according to the invention.

Le bord libre de la paroi extérieure 86 porte des crans 91, aptes à s'engager lors du vissage de la pièce 80 sur la base du flacon 1, avec les crans correspondants 50 prévus sur l'épaulement 4 formé par la base du flacon 1. Ainsi que représentés à la figure 4A, les crans 91 présentent d'un côté, un bord droit, et de l'autre côté, un bord formant une rampe pour permettre le franchissement des crans 50 par les crans 91 lors du vissage de la pièce 80 sur le flacon 1, et empêcher toute rotation en sens inverse de la pièce 80 par rapport au flacon 1. Un bourrelet de claquage 92 est disposé sur la surface externe de la paroi extérieure 86 du U, de manière à coopérer par claquage avec une gorge 93 prévue sur la pièce 82. Une lèvre d'étanchéité 100 est disposée sur la surface interne de l'extension 88, au voisinage de son bord libre, de manière à former étanchéité avec le goulot du deuxième flacon 2, lorsque le mélange est effectué (position illustrée à la figure 1).The free edge of the outer wall 86 carries notches 91, capable of engaging during of the screwing of the part 80 on the base of the bottle 1, with the corresponding notches 50 provided on the shoulder 4 formed by the base of the bottle 1. As shown in FIG. 4A, the notches 91 have on one side a straight edge, and on the other side, an edge forming a ramp to allow the notches 50 to be crossed by the notches 91 when the part 80 is screwed onto the bottle 1, and prevent any rotation in the opposite direction to the part 80 relative to the bottle 1. A snap bead 92 is arranged on the outer surface of the outer wall 86 of the U, so as to cooperate by snapping with a groove 93 provided on the part 82. A lip sealing 100 is arranged on the internal surface of extension 88, at near its free edge, so as to form a seal with the neck of the second bottle 2, when the mixing is carried out (position illustrated in Figure 1).

De même, la seconde pièce 82, formant la pièce de raccordement 8, comprend une seconde gorge annulaire 94 en U, apte à recevoir à force la première gorge annulaire 84 en U, ladite seconde gorge annulaire en U comportant une paroi intérieure 95, une paroi extérieure 96, et un fond 97 reliant la paroi intérieure à la paroi extérieure, la paroi intérieure 95 formant la partie basse de ladite cheminée centrale 83. Les dimensions internes de la gorge 94 sont légèrement supérieures aux dimensions externes de la gorge 84 de manière à ce que la pièce 82 puisse être montée à force sur la pièce 80. Dans ce mode de réalisation, la partie haute 88 de la cheminée centrale 83 est de section légèrement plus faible que la partie basse 95. Une jupe d'habillage 98 dont la section transversale à une forme semblable à celle de la section transversale du flacon 1, est portée par la paroi extérieure 96 de la gorge annulaire 84. Cette forme est de préférence ovale, comme visible sur la figure 2. Likewise, the second part 82, forming the connecting part 8, comprises a second annular groove 94 in U shape, capable of forcibly receiving the first groove annular U-shaped, said second annular U-shaped groove having a wall interior 95, an exterior wall 96, and a bottom 97 connecting the interior wall to the outer wall, the inner wall 95 forming the lower part of said chimney central 83. The internal dimensions of the groove 94 are slightly greater to the external dimensions of the groove 84 so that the part 82 can be forcibly mounted on part 80. In this embodiment, the upper part 88 of the central chimney 83 is of slightly smaller section than the part low 95. A covering skirt 98 whose cross section has a shape similar to that of the cross section of the bottle 1, is carried by the wall outer 96 of the annular groove 84. This shape is preferably oval, as shown in Figure 2.

Le montage de la pièce 82 sur la pièce 80 se fait, après vissage de 80 sur la jupe 3 du flacon 1, en insérant à force la gorge annulaire 84 dans la gorge annulaire 94. Afin de maintenir fixement en rotation l'une par rapport à l'autre, la surface interne de la paroi extérieure 96 comporte des stries 99, aptes à coopérer avec des stries correspondantes 101 (voir vue de détail de la figure 4B) prévues sur la surface externe de la paroi extérieure 86 de la première pièce 80. Le positionnement obtenu est de précision suffisante en réalisant des stries de manière à ce qu'elles délimitent une faible portion angulaire (typiquement inférieure à 5°). L'immobilisation axiale de 82 par rapport à 80 est obtenue au moyen de la gorge de claquage 93 prévue sur la surface interne de la paroi extérieure 96, laquelle gorge de claquage 93 coopère avec le bourrelet 92 prévu sur la pièce 80.The mounting of the part 82 on the part 80 is done, after screwing 80 on the skirt 3 of the bottle 1, by forcing the annular groove 84 into the annular groove 94. In order to keep fixedly in rotation with respect to each other, the surface internal of the outer wall 96 has grooves 99, able to cooperate with corresponding ridges 101 (see detail view of FIG. 4B) provided on the outer surface of the outer wall 86 of the first part 80. The positioning obtained is of sufficient precision by making streaks of so that they define a small angular portion (typically less than 5 °). The axial immobilization of 82 compared to 80 is obtained at means of the snap groove 93 provided on the internal surface of the wall outer 96, which breakdown groove 93 cooperates with the bead 92 provided on Exhibit 80.

Lorsque les pièces 80 et 82, munies de l'obturateur 10, sont montées de la manière indiquée précédemment sur le flacon 1 (voir figure 5), ce flacon est fermé de manière étanche à sa partie basse. En réalité la fermeture étanche est assurée par le seul montage étanche de la première pièce 80.When the parts 80 and 82, fitted with the shutter 10, are mounted from the as previously indicated on bottle 1 (see Figure 5), this bottle is closed tightly at its lower part. In reality the watertight closure is ensured by the only watertight mounting of the first part 80.

La partie basse de la cheminée centrale 83 est propre à recevoir le goulot 24 du deuxième flacon 2, lequel contient le colorant. Le goulot 24 est équipé, pour le stockage, d'un bouchon 25, pour une fermeture étanche.The lower part of the central chimney 83 is suitable for receiving the neck 24 of the second bottle 2, which contains the dye. The neck 24 is equipped, for the storage, of a plug 25, for a tight closure.

Des moyens de couplage L sont prévus entre le goulot 24 et le bouchon 25. Ces moyens sont constitués par un filetage 26 prévu sur la surface cylindrique extérieure du goulot 24, et un filetage conjugué 27 prévu sur la surface cylindrique interne du bouchon 25, agencé sous forme d'une sorte de capuchon cylindrique. Le pas du filetage 26 (ainsi que du filetage 27) a une valeur réduite. Alternativement, le goulot 24 du flacon 2 peut être obturé par un opercule thermoscellé, ou autre moyen équivalent.Coupling means L are provided between the neck 24 and the plug 25. These means consist of a thread 26 provided on the cylindrical surface outside of the neck 24, and a conjugate thread 27 provided on the cylindrical surface internal of the plug 25, arranged in the form of a sort of cylindrical cap. The pitch of the thread 26 (as well as the thread 27) has a reduced value. Alternatively, the neck 24 of the bottle 2 can be closed with a seal heat sealed, or other equivalent means.

Avantageusement, le diamètre extérieur d du bouchon 25 est légèrement inférieur au diamètre intérieur h de la partie basse 95 de la cheminée centrale 83, de sorte que le bouchon 25 puisse être introduit dans cette cheminée, comme représenté sur la figure 5.Advantageously, the outside diameter d of the plug 25 is slightly smaller to the inside diameter h of the lower part 95 of the central chimney 83, so that the plug 25 can be inserted into this chimney, as shown in Figure 5.

Des moyens d'entraínement 28, sous forme de deux tétons diamétralement opposés, sont disposés sur le goulot 24. Des moyens d'entraínement complémentaires 29 sont prévus sur la surface interne de la partie basse de la cheminée centrale 83. De tels moyens complémentaires, sont constitués de deux rampes hélicoïdales 29 propres à coopérer respectivement avec les tétons 28. Le pas des rampes est de préférence, nettement supérieur au pas du filetage 26. Avantageusement, le pas des rampes hélicoïdales 29 est choisi de manière telle que la course axiale du goulot 24, relativement à la cheminée centrale 83, et nécessaire pour chasser l'obturateur 10 est obtenue pour une rotation inférieure à un tour du goulot 24 relativement au moyen de raccordement 8. La combinaison des tétons 28 et des rampes hélicoïdales 29 permet d'assurer une position angulaire précise du flacon 2 relativement aux moyens de raccordement 8, en fin d'assemblage des tétons 28 et des rampes 29.Drive means 28, in the form of two diametrically nipples opposite, are arranged on the neck 24. Drive means complementary 29 are provided on the internal surface of the lower part of the central chimney 83. Such complementary means consist of two helical ramps 29 suitable for cooperating with the pins 28 respectively. the pitch of the ramps is preferably significantly greater than the pitch of the thread 26. Advantageously, the pitch of the helical ramps 29 is chosen in such a way that the axial stroke of the neck 24, relative to the central chimney 83, and necessary to drive the shutter 10 is obtained for a rotation less than one turn of the neck 24 relative to the connection means 8. The combination nipples 28 and helical ramps 29 ensure a position precise angle of the bottle 2 relative to the connection means 8, at the end assembly of the pins 28 and the ramps 29.

La surface cylindrique intérieure de la partie basse 95 de la cheminée centrale 83 a un diamètre h supérieur au diamètre maximal extérieur du filetage 26 de telle sorte que les rampes hélicoïdales 29 ne pourront pas interférer avec le filetage 26 lorsque le goulot 24, libéré de son bouchon 25, sera introduit dans la cheminée 83.The inner cylindrical surface of the lower part 95 of the central chimney 83 has a diameter h greater than the maximum external diameter of the thread 26 of such so that the helical ramps 29 cannot interfere with the thread 26 when the neck 24, released from its plug 25, will be introduced into the chimney 83.

Les tétons 28 sont prévus sur une portée cylindrique 30 faisant saillie radialement sur le goulot, et dont le diamètre extérieur est sensiblement égal au diamètre extérieur d du bouchon 25. Cette portée cylindrique 30 peut entrer dans la partie basse de la cheminée centrale 83.The pins 28 are provided on a cylindrical surface 30 projecting radially on the neck, and whose outside diameter is substantially equal to the diameter outside d of the plug 25. This cylindrical seat 30 can enter the part bottom of the central fireplace 83.

Un frein de dévissage (non représenté) peut être réalisé à partir d'une saillie prévue sur l'extrémité supérieure de chaque rampe hélicoïdale 29. Cette saillie est destinée à être franchie par le téton correspondant 28, en fin de vissage, le franchissement étant assuré par une déformation élastique. Lorsque le téton 28 a franchi la saillie, cette dernière bloque le téton et s'oppose ainsi à un dévissage du flacon 2 relativement à la pièce de raccordement 8.An unscrewing brake (not shown) can be produced from a projection provided on the upper end of each helical ramp 29. This projection is intended to be crossed by the corresponding stud 28, at the end of screwing, the crossing being ensured by an elastic deformation. When the nipple 28 has crossed the projection, the latter blocks the nipple and thus opposes a unscrewing of the bottle 2 relative to the connecting piece 8.

La jupe d'habillage 98 de la pièce 82 vient coiffer le deuxième flacon 2, en fin de connexion (voir position illustrée à la figure 1). Un encliquetage, signalant par un léger bruit la fin de la course du flacon 2 et le dégagement de l'obturateur 10 peut être prévu entre la partie inférieure de la jupe 98 et le flacon 2, et constitue en plus un frein supplémentaire à l'encontre du dévissage.The covering skirt 98 of the part 82 comes to cap the second bottle 2, at the end of connection (see position illustrated in figure 1). A click, signaling by a slight noise at the end of the stroke of the bottle 2 and the release of the shutter 10 may be provided between the lower part of the skirt 98 and the bottle 2, and constitutes in plus an additional brake against unscrewing.

Dans l'exemple de réalisation illustré sur les dessins, comme visible notamment sur la figure 5, le bouchon 25 comporte à sa partie inférieure une collerette 31 faisant saillie radialement vers l'extérieur et limitant l'entrée du bouchon 25 dans la cheminée 83, pour la position de stockage.In the embodiment illustrated in the drawings, as seen in particular in FIG. 5, the plug 25 has at its lower part a flange 31 projecting radially outward and limiting the entry of the plug 25 into the fireplace 83, for storage position.

Le remplissage des flacons, leur stockage et leur mise en oeuvre s'effectuent de la manière suivante. L'obturateur 10 est mis en place sur la partie haute 88 de la cheminée centrale 83. La pièce 80 est ensuite vissée étanche sur la jupe 3 du flacon 1. La partie inférieure du flacon est ainsi fermée de manière étanche. La seconde pièce 82 est ensuite montée à force sur la pièce 80. Sa position angulaire est ajustée de manière à aligner la jupe d'habillage 98 sur le flacon 1. Le flacon 1 est ensuite rempli, par exemple en liquide oxydant, au travers de l'ouverture prévue à son sommet. L'embout de distribution 7 est ensuite vissé sur le col supérieur du flacon 1.The filling of the bottles, their storage and their implementation are carried out the following way. The shutter 10 is placed on the upper part 88 of the central chimney 83. The part 80 is then screwed tight onto the skirt 3 of the bottle 1. The lower part of the bottle is thus sealed. The second part 82 is then forcibly mounted on part 80. Its position angle is adjusted so as to align the covering skirt 98 on the bottle 1. The bottle 1 is then filled, for example with oxidizing liquid, through the opening at the top. The dispensing end piece 7 is then screwed onto the upper neck of the bottle 1.

Le flacon 2 est ensuite rempli, par exemple en colorant, puis est fermé de manière étanche par le bouchon 25 qui est vissé sur le goulot 24.The bottle 2 is then filled, for example with dye, and is then closed so sealed by the plug 25 which is screwed onto the neck 24.

Le cas échéant, les flacons 1 et 2 peuvent être stockés séparément. De préférence toutefois, pour le stockage, on engage le bouchon 25, fixé sur le goulot 24, dans la partie basse de la cheminée 83, de la manière illustrée à la figure 5. If necessary, bottles 1 and 2 can be stored separately. Of preferably, however, for storage, the plug 25 is engaged, fixed on the neck 24, in the lower part of the chimney 83, as illustrated in FIG. 5.

Au moment où l'opérateur souhaite utiliser le conditionnement en mélangeant les deux liquides, il retire le flacon 2 du moyen de raccordement 8 et dévisse le bouchon 25.When the operator wishes to use the packaging by mixing the two liquids, he withdraws the bottle 2 from the connection means 8 and unscrews the cap 25.

L'opérateur introduit le goulot 24, libre de son bouchon, dans la cheminée 83 et enfonce axialement le goulot en le faisant tourner jusqu'à ce que les tétons 28 viennent en prise avec la base des rampes hélicoïdales 29. Par un mouvement de rotation entre le flacon 2 et la pièce intermédiaire 8, l'opérateur assure la montée des tétons 28 dans les rampes 29 comme illustré par la figure 6.The operator introduces the neck 24, free of its cap, into the chimney 83 and push the neck axially by turning it until the nipples 28 come into engagement with the base of the helical ramps 29. By a movement of rotation between the bottle 2 and the intermediate piece 8, the operator ensures the rise nipples 28 in the ramps 29 as illustrated in FIG. 6.

En fin de course vers le haut, la partie supérieure du goulot 24 chasse l'obturateur 10 et débouche le flacon 1. Entre temps, la lèvre d'étanchéité 100 est venue en contact étanche avec la surface externe du goulot 24, comme illustré sur la figure 1. Avantageusement, des moyens de type bossages sont prévus sur une portion (typiquement 90°) de la périphérie de l'obturateur 10, de manière à faciliter l'expulsion de l'obturateur. Ces bossages permettent en effet de localiser la force d'expulsion exercée par le goulot 24, en premier lieu sur une portion angulaire seulement de l'obturateur, ce qui, comparé à une force d'expulsion exercée de la même manière et en même temps, sur toute la périphérie de l'obturateur 10, requiert une force plus faible.At the end of the upward stroke, the upper part of the neck 24 drives out the shutter 10 and opens the bottle 1. In the meantime, the sealing lip 100 has come into tight contact with the external surface of the neck 24, as illustrated in the figure 1. Advantageously, boss-type means are provided on a portion (typically 90 °) from the periphery of the shutter 10, so as to facilitate the expulsion of the shutter. These bosses make it possible to locate the force expulsion exerted by the neck 24, first on an angular portion only from the shutter, which, compared to an expelling force exerted from the same way and at the same time, over the entire periphery of the shutter 10, requires less force.

Le cas échéant, les tétons 28 sont arrêtés dans leur position de fin de vissage par les freins de vissage prévus dans les rampes 29. L'opérateur, après avoir agité le conditionnement ainsi réalisé, peut procéder à l'ouverture de l'embout de distribution 7, en vue d'appliquer le mélange. Le flacon 2 reste assemblé de manière étanche au flacon 1 au cours de l'application du produit.Where appropriate, the pins 28 are stopped in their end of screwing position by the screwing brakes provided in the ramps 29. The operator, after having agitated the packaging thus produced, can open the end of distribution 7, in order to apply the mixture. Bottle 2 remains assembled from tightly to the bottle 1 during the application of the product.

Dans la description détaillée qui précède, il a été fait référence à des modes de réalisation préférés de l'invention. Il est évident que des variantes peuvent y être apportées sans s'écarter de l'esprit de l'invention telle que revendiquée ci-après.In the foregoing detailed description, reference has been made to modes of preferred embodiments of the invention. Obviously there may be variations made without departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed below.
