Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a member, of removable cover type, intended for overcome a conditioning device.
  • the invention is particularly suitable for hoods used to style packaging units such used in the cosmetics field, such as perfumes, deodorants , hairsprays, sprays, etc., in the field of pharmacy, or the household area.
  • the container In the field of cosmetics, and in particular in the field of aerosols, or other spraying devices, the container is covered with a removable cover, traditionally mounted by snap.
  • the part container top has a groove or groove for receiving a rod or a plurality of notches formed on the internal surface of the cover, at the near its free edge.
  • a axial pressure exerted on the hood causes elastic deformation of the walls of the hood carrying the snap ring or the notches, which deviate radially to cross the edge adjacent to the groove or groove. After crossing of the edge by the notches, these are maintained by elastic return in the back of the throat, which holds the cover in place on the container.
  • the groove or groove can be replaced by a bead protruding from the outer surface of the container.
  • a cover to cover with detachably an X-axis container said container having an edge of breakdown intended to be crossed by at least one notch carried by at least one elastically deformable part of said cover, in response to an axial force exerted on the cover, characterized in that the cover includes means for adjusting the elasticity of at least one of the elastically deformable parts, so that modify the axial force required, during opening and closing, crossing of the edge, by said notches.
  • the breakdown edge means either the edge of a hollow portion (groove or groove, indentation) and in which, when mounting, the notches are housed, or a protruding cord on the surface of the container, and behind which the notches are housed.
  • the recess can be formed from the part located under the crimping flange valve.
  • cover is intended in particular any means of closure (cover, cap, cap, capsule, cover, etc.) or other accessory (applicator, etc.) capable of overcoming removable container in any form (tube, bottle, jar, bottle, box, can, etc.)
  • a cover adapted to be mounted by snapping on a container.
  • you can choose the tightening among several values a tightening strong, medium or weak for example.
  • the choice of tightening is made when mounting the hood, or later.
  • the tightening of the cover is identical from cover to cover.
  • the same cover can be used for a woman product line or a line of man product. You only need to change the hood tightening setting.
  • the means for adjusting the elasticity of the parts elastically deformable comprises a member mounted on the cover, and whose position angular or axial with respect to the cover determines the elasticity of the parts elastically deformable.
  • the cover comprises three tabs arranged regularly on said internal wall.
  • said edge forms at least one ramp, so that when said ramp is located opposite an elastically tab deformable, as a function of the angular position of said ring relative to said leg, the average axial height of the portion of free leg situated between said free end and the edge varies, thereby modifying the elasticity accordingly of said tab, means being provided for immobilizing in a position given angle, said ring inside the annular space.
  • said edge forms as many ramps as there are legs elastically deformable.
  • the surface of the ring is gradually modified opposite the upper part of the flexible leg, which changes the height accordingly middle axial of the free part of the leg (lower part).
  • the paw is therefore more or less flexible, and will therefore deform more or less easily to allow the breakdown edge to be crossed by the notches. The force to exercise for mounting / dismounting the cover will then be more or less strong.
  • Said ring may have, opposite said edge, a substantially straight edge, said substantially straight edge being, in the mounted position of the ring on the cover, located substantially opposite the first end of said legs.
  • the means for immobilizing the ring in a position given angle may include an axial rib provided on a inner surface of the outer wall, and able to come into engagement with a groove chosen from a plurality of axial grooves arranged on a surface external of said ring.
  • the ring can also be held axially in said annular space by snap-fitting or self-tightening mounting.
  • said edge is, at least over a portion located opposite a leg, substantially straight and perpendicular to the X axis, the average axial height of the free leg portion located between said free end and said edge, being adjusted by modifying the axial position of said ring in said space annular, means being provided for axially immobilizing said ring in said annular space.
  • the ring can be immobilized axially by snap, self-tightening, or any other appropriate means.
  • the cover is covered with a covering outside.
  • the inner wall and the outer wall can form a single piece obtained from molding of a thermoplastic material, said outer wall having facing of each elastically deformable tab, a clearance so as to allow demolding of said elastically deformable tabs.
  • the ring can be obtained by molding a chosen thermoplastic material among polypropylenes or high density polyethylenes.
  • a set of packaging and distribution comprising a container containing a product, and a cover surmounting said container, characterized in that the cover conforms to the invention.
  • the product can be a cosmetic product, a pharmaceutical product, or a household product.
  • FIG. 1A a view exploded view of an embodiment of the cover 1 according to the invention.
  • This includes mainly a body 2 obtained from molding a plastic material such as polypropylene, high density polyethylene, or polyethylene terephthalate.
  • the body has an internal wall 3 and an external wall 4 connected in the vicinity of one of their ends by an annular transverse wall 5.
  • the other end of said internal and external walls is free so that said walls internal and external define between them an annular space 6.
  • the inner wall 3 is of slightly lower axial height at the axial height of the outer wall 4.
  • the internal wall 3 has three elastically deformable legs 7, oriented axially, and angularly spaced at 120 °.
  • Each of the legs 7 has a free end 9 in the vicinity of the annular wall 5, and bearing on its surface internal a catch notch 10.
  • the end 8, opposite the free end is integral with the internal wall.
  • Tab 7 is also delimited by two edges side 11, 12, separated from the internal wall by a thin slit extending over substantially the entire height of the tab 7.
  • the outer wall 4 has a substantially identical surface recess 13 on the surface of the legs 7, so as to allow the release of the legs 7.
  • the inner surface of the outer wall 4 has an axial bead (or rib) 14, the purpose of which will be described in more detail below.
  • the cover illustrated in FIG. 1A also includes a ring 15, of thickness slightly less than the width of the annular space 6, so that fit into said annular space.
  • the maximum axial height of the ring 15 is substantially equal to the axial height of the internal wall 3.
  • the ring 15 is delimited by an upper edge 16, substantially straight, and a variable edge 17, intended to come opposite the transverse annular wall 5, when the ring is mounted in the annular space 6.
  • the variable edge 17 has three portions regularly spaced on the periphery of the ring, and forming a ramp 18. As it appears in more detail in the developed view of Figure 2B, the edge 17 is jagged.
  • the outer surface of the ring 15 has 3 grooves axial 19, 20, 21, one of which, depending on the angular position of the ring 15 in the annular space 6, is intended to come into engagement with the rib 14 of the external wall of the body 2, so as to immobilize said angularly ring inside the annular space 6, when the adjustment of the elasticity of the legs has been performed.
  • the ring is inserted into the annular space 6.
  • the ring 15 is facing almost the entire surface of the legs 7 (position A).
  • the average axial height of the free part of the legs 7 (materialized by the distance between the black point and the free end of the tab) is substantially equal to 0.
  • the axial force to be exerted to make crossing the edge of breakdown by the notches 10, is strong.
  • the ring 15 is facing about a third of the surface of the legs 7 (position C).
  • the height average axial of the free part of the legs 7 corresponds substantially to two third of the height of the leg. Therefore the elasticity of the tab is strong. Strength axial to exercise to cross the breakdown edge by the notches 10, is low.
  • FIG. 1B A top view of the assembly shown in Figure 1B is shown in the Figure 2B.
  • Means not shown may be provided for axially immobilizing the ring 16 in the annular space 6.
  • a throat / rib arrangement (not shown).
  • the ring is increased in strength in the annular space 6, which can possibly allow to overcome the presence of the angular holding means (14, 19, 20, 21).
  • the cover 1 is covered with an external covering 22, metal or plastic.
  • the outer casing can be assembled by clamping, gluing, breakdown, welding, or any other appropriate means.
  • the lower edge 17 of the ring 15 is parallel to the upper edge 16, that is to say substantially perpendicular to the axis X of the hood.
  • the average axial height of the leg portions free, and therefore the elasticity of the legs is adjusted, no longer by modifying the position angular of the ring 15 with respect to the legs, but by modifying its position axial, i.e. by pushing the ring more or less into the space annular (6).
  • the axial maintenance of the ring 15 in a given position is secured either by clamping, or, as shown in Figure 3 by performing in two diametrically opposite places of the outer wall 4, a slot 40, 41, parallel to the X axis, and one of the edges of which opens onto a plurality of recesses 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, capable of receiving by snap, corresponding lugs 48, 49, also provided at two diametrically opposite points on the surface ring 15.
  • the ring 15 is facing about half the surface legs 7.
  • the average axial height of the free part of legs 7 corresponds approximately to half the height of the leg.
  • the elasticity of the paw is medium.
  • the axial force to be exerted to cross the edge of breakdown by the notches 10, is average.
  • the ring 15 faces about a third of the surface of the legs 7.
  • the height average axial of the free part of the legs 7 corresponds substantially to two third of the height of the leg. Therefore the elasticity of the tab is strong. Strength axial to exercise to cross the breakdown edge by the notches 10, is low.
  • Still other means can be provided to keep the ring 15 in axial position.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates a package 30 formed of a reservoir in the form of a can 31.
  • the tank is surmounted by a valve, which itself is surmounted a push button 32.
  • the valve is crimped by a crimping collar 33.
  • a breakdown groove 34 In the vicinity of the upper end of the right portion of the container, is formed a breakdown groove 34, intended to receive the notches 10 carried by the cover 1, as discussed with reference to the previous figures.
  • the throat of breakdown can consist of the recess formed under the flange of crimping 33.
