Definitions
- the present invention relates to containers provided with a opening in the upper part and more particularly but not exclusively containers with an applicator including a rod provided at one end with a gripping member constituting also a closure cap and at the other end of an element application.
- Such containers are used for the packaging of liquidated such as nail polish for example.
- This support piece has two legs intended to rest on the user's fingers when the container is opened and prevent product from flowing out of container in case of spillage accidental.
- the container is retained by friction in the support piece and, due to the close contact between the container and the workpiece support, the latter does not adequately protect the shock container.
- the object of the invention is in particular to remedy the drawbacks of the support part described in patent US-A-2 140 231.
- the anti-leakage part has two parts to assemble around the body of the container.
- the leak-proof part once forms the two parts assembled a cage around the container body, protecting it from shock while preventing the product contained inside from flowing accidental spillage or when the container rests on a flat surface.
- the anti-leakage part is fixed to the body of the container without possibility of rotation on the latter, which allows not to interfere with the screwing or unscrewing of the applicator when the container has a threaded neck.
- the container provided with the anti-leakage part according to the invention can contain nail polish or other cosmetic product and have a small capacity, less than or equal to 100 ml, of preferably still less than or equal to 25 ml, preferably still less than or equal to 10 ml.
- the invention also relates to a container containing nail polish, this container comprising a body forming a reservoir, of small capacity, this body being provided with an opening in part upper, bordered by a threaded neck, the container further comprising an applicator provided at one end with a closure cap coming screw on said collar and on the other end of an element application, this container being characterized in that it comprises at least one anti-leakage part according to one of claims 1-6.
- the invention also relates to an anti-leakage part constituting an accessory marketed independently of a bottle, intended to be fixed on this bottle, which comprises an applicator, this anti-leakage piece being placed on the bottle to prevent a product leak when the bottle rests on a surface horizontal at less by its bottom and by said anti-leakage part, in particular in the event of accidental spillage of the bottle, this leak-proof part comprising means to allow its fixing by the user himself on vial.
- the user can easily provide an existing bottle with one or more several anti-leakage parts according to the invention.
- the anti-leakage part is produced in a material and / or with a shape allowing to absorb shocks and protect the bottle.
- the anti-leakage part can in particular be produced in a elastomer or a cellular material shaped by compression or not.
- FIG. 1 shows an anti-leakage part 1 conforming to a first example.
- This part 1 is in the form of a stirrup comprising two lateral parts 2,3 joined by an upper part 4, which is crossed by a bore 5 intended for the passage of the neck 6 of a bottle 7, as illustrated in FIG. 2.
- This bottle 7 has a generally flattened shape and is made of plastic or glass.
- the bottle 7 contains a viscous product which does not generating no splashes in case of accidental spillage.
- the facing faces of the side parts 2 and 3 are shaped to match the relief of the opposite main faces 8 and 9 from bottle 7.
- Attaching the leak-proof part 1 to the bottle 7 can be done for example with glue or alternatively the part anti-leakage 1 can be retained simply by friction.
- the neck 6 is threaded to allow the screwing of a cap closure not shown, which also serves as a gripping member for an applicator such as a brush for example, which comes lodge inside the bottle 7 when it is closed.
- a cap closure not shown, which also serves as a gripping member for an applicator such as a brush for example, which comes lodge inside the bottle 7 when it is closed.
- the bottle 7 has a flat bottom 10, which allows it to stand upright with its vertical axis, when placed on a surface plane S.
- the anti-leakage part 1 makes it possible to avoid, if the bottle 7 is accidentally spilled, that the liquid inside flows through the opening 11 of the neck 6.
- the side parts 2 and 3 of the part anti-leakage 1 are shaped so as to come to bear on the flat surface S and keep the axis of the bottle 7 sufficiently inclined upwards so that the level of the liquid inside the bottle 7 stays below the edge of opening 11, even when it is full.
- the shape of the leak-proof part 1 is easily determined by the person skilled in the art as a function of the geometry of the bottle 7, and of the amount of liquid normally contained in the latter.
- the anti-leakage part 1 can be made of any material appropriate.
- It can in particular be made of an elastic material deformable and / or of a cellular material.
- the anti-leakage part is made in a material and with a shape to absorb shock and avoid breakage of the bottle 7 in the event of a fall, particularly when this the latter is made of glass.
- the anti-leakage part 1 can also be produced in a material chosen for the aesthetic effect it gives to the bottle 7.
- the anti-leakage part 1 is preferably offered at the user as an accessory independently of the bottle 7, at instructed the latter to mount it on the bottle 7 to constitute a container according to the invention.
- the bottle 7 can be offered to the user already fitted with leak-proof part 1.
- the bottle 7 has a flattened shape and cannot, in all probability, be found on the slice in case of accidental spillage. It is therefore not the leak-proof part 1 must cover the edge of the bottle 7.
- the anti-leakage part 1 can facilitate the handling of the bottle 7, for example between two fingers of the user, preventing the bottle to slide between the user's fingers.
- the anti-leakage part 1 does not interfere with the screwing or unscrewing the applicator.
- FIG. 4 shows an anti-leakage part 14 having a substantially hemispherical outer face and a face substantially flat interior, which is provided with a film adhesive protected before placing on the bottle 7 with a removable protective sheet 15.
- the number and locations where the parts are attached anti-leak 14 depend on the geometry of the bottle.
- the user sets up two leak-proof parts 14 on the faces 8 and 9 of the bottle 7, near the col 6, so as to obtain the same result as in the example of previous embodiment, namely maintaining the edge of the opening 11 above the liquid level when the container is overturned accidentally on the flat surface S.
- FIGS. 6 to 8 show a container 20 conforming to a third example.
- This container 20 comprises a body 21 provided at one end with a threaded neck 22 and at the other end of a bottom 23, convex towards outside.
- An anti-leakage part 24 is attached to the body 21 at the base collar 22.
- the anti-leakage part 24 is for example glued to the body 21 of the container.
- a closure cap 25 is screwed onto the neck 22 to the seal.
- This closure cap 25 also serves as a gripping for an applicator comprising a rod 26 fixed to a end of the cap 25 and provided at the other end with a member application such as a brush 27.
- the body 21 can contain one or more balls 28 allowing to homogenize the product before its application, for example on nails.
- the anti-leakage part 24 is in the form of a crown projecting radially outwards and the surface of which is generally convex.
- the bottom 23 does not allow the container 20 to stand upright.
- the container 20 When the container 20 is placed on a flat surface S, it rests with its axis facing upwards thanks to the part anti-leakage 24. The axis of the container 20 is then sufficiently inclined with respect to the horizontal so that the level of the liquid contained at the interior of the body 21 is set back from the edge of the opening of the col 22.
- the cap 25 has a truncated top, which allows the container 20 to stand upside down, as shown in the figure 7.
- the container 20 is advantageously presented for sale in a display 30 comprising a support wall 31 provided with openings 32 each allowing the body 21 of a container 20 to be engaged, as shown in Figure 9.
- the support wall 31 rests on feet 33 whose length is greater than the height of the body 21.
- each opening 32 is less than the diameter outside of the leakproof part 24, so that the container 20 rests by the latter on the support wall 31.
- the container 20 comes to bear by the anti-leakage part 24 on the display 40.
- FIG. 11 shows a container 50 conforming to a new example.
- This container comprises a bottle 51, generally cylindrical of revolution, provided with a flat bottom, which is bordered by a bead annular 52, and provided at the other end with a threaded neck 53.
- the anti-leakage part 54 is in the form of a crown threaded onto the cylindrical body of the bottle 51, and positioned at near the neck 53, so as to maintain the level of the liquid below the edge of the neck opening 53.
- the anti-leakage part 54 is fixed to the body of the bottle 51 by gluing for example.
- the bottle may have a series of reliefs allowing the user to position the part anti-leak more or less near the opening of the bottle, depending on the filling level for example.
- the anti-leakage piece 54 is sufficiently tightened on the body of the bottle to prevent relative rotation and thus allows the user to unscrew the applicator while holding it.
- the part anti-leakage 60 completely surrounds the bottle 61, while being stuck on this last for example.
- This anti-leakage part 60 has an external surface lower 62 convex outward, substantially hemispherical, shaped to be able to roll on a flat surface S.
- reaction forces F exerted by the surface S on the part anti-leakage 60 are positioned relative to the center of gravity G of the container so that a couple is exerted on it, tending to return to a position where its axis is inclined sufficiently towards the high so that the level of the liquid in the bottle 61 remains lower at the edge of his collar 63.
- reaction forces F are located by relative to the vertical plane containing the center of gravity G, of the same side as collar 63.
- the anti-leakage piece When in general the anti-leakage piece covers the whole bottle or most of it, it is advantageous to make the leak-proof part in a transparent material or provide a perforated part allowing the user to see the level of the liquid in the bottle. It also allows the user to take more easily the product when the bottle is almost empty.
- FIGS. 14 and 15 show a container 70 according to another example.
- This container 70 comprises a bottle 71 whose body is cylindrical of revolution, provided at one end with a flat bottom 72 and at the other end of a threaded neck 73.
- the anti-leakage piece 74 has an annular shape and a outer surface convex to the outside.
- the anti-leakage part 74 is for example retained by friction on the bottle 71, with sufficient tightening to allow the user screw on the bottle or easily unscrew the applicator holding that leak-proof part.
- the outer surface of the leak-proof part 74 is shaped so that the reaction forces F are positioned relative to the center of gravity of the container so to create a couple tending to bring it back into a position equilibrium shown in Figure 14, in which the axis of the container is tilted up enough enough that the level of the liquid inside the bottle 71 is less than the edge of the neck 73.
- FIG. 16 shows an anti-leakage part 80 according to an eighth embodiment of the invention.
- This anti-leakage part 80 has two parts 81, 82 to assemble around the bottle, for example the bottle 7 described previously.
- These parts 81 and 82 are connected at one end by a hinge 83 and each have, on the side opposite the hinge 83, a flange 84, 85.
- flanges 84 and 85 are intended to form a collar around from the neck 6 of the bottle 7 when the parts 81 and 82 are assembled one against the other, as shown in Figure 17.
- the flanges 84 and 85 are connected to the hinge 83 by a set of bars referenced 86 for the part 81 and 87 for the part 82.
- the bars 86 and 87 of the anti-leakage part 80 constitute a cage protecting the bottle 7 from impact and maintaining the neck opening 6 above the level of the liquid in the bottle 7, for a level of filling given.
- the anti-leakage part 80 can be made of metal or plastic material.
- Bars 86 and 87 are bent so as to maintain the axis of the bottle 7 inclined enough upwards to prevent the exit liquid through the neck 6 when the anti-leakage part 80 rests on a flat surface.
- Parts 81 and 82 can be assembled by any means, . for example by fitting them in the vicinity of flanges 84 and 85 with additional means not shown.
- the container may or may not include a wiper member for wring out the applicator.
- a container containing nail polish for example can be used without fears while traveling, when placed on a relatively unstable surface, such as a seat shelf.
