Definitions
- the present invention relates to a dispensing capsule intended to equip a reservoir containing a fluid product to be dispensed, as well as to a dispensing assembly equipped with this capsule. It is equipped with a closure system, which can be opened for dispensing. of the product, and closed for its conservation
- Reservoirs provided with a capsule of this kind are usually used in different fields, for the storage and distribution of liquid products, for example in the cosmetic, food, household, pharmaceutical or parapharmaceutical fields.
- These products are, in particular, shampoos, antiseptics, household cleaners or dishwashing products Thanks to the use of such a capsule, we avoid, on the one hand, the flow of the product during transport and storage, and on the other hand, protects the product from dirt from the outside
- the user can easily dispense, in a controlled manner, the product contained in the tank
- the present invention relates to a capsule comprising a product dispensing orifice and a pivoting cover, the closure system of the orifice being constituted by a pin carried by the cover, intended to close this orifice.
- the pin introduced into the dispensing orifice must fulfill several functions, it must guarantee a good seal, the opening force must be reasonable, and, when opening, no pistoning noise should occur. qualities must be ensured throughout the use of the Gold product, with the materials commonly used for the injection of such capsules, such as polyethylene or polypropyiene, the dimensional adjustment is very delicate, because the tolerances must remain within below 0.05 mm, all the more that additional deformations are likely to occur during demolding In addition, during intense use, by wear of the pin and / or the orifice, this pin does not fit more friction in the orifice and, therefore, product leakage may occur
- a dispensing capsule of the kind mentioned above is described, for example, in document FR-A-2 662 144.
- This document describes a dispensing capsule comprising a dispensing orifice and a pivoting cover provided with a spike. hollow, intended to plug the dispensing orifice in the storage position, this pin being in the form of a cylindrical skirt
- the dispensing orifice is formed in a flat portion, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the capsule, this portion being made of thermoelastic rubber
- This capsule of the prior art has the disadvantage that, when the lid is closed, a relatively large effort is necessary to engage the pin in the dispensing orifice. In fact, during the operation of closure, the pin is in contact with the edge of the orifice and, before engaging in the orifice, repels said rubber portion
- the capsule according to US-A-5 169 035 makes it possible to obtain a tight plugging of the dispensing orifice by the spike, it has the following drawbacks - on the one hand, the elastomer part must have a significant thickness for being able to maintain it in the opening of the capsule, - on the other hand, the choice of elastomers which can be used for the production of the annular part is limited In fact, with a view to flexible and waterproof engagement both of the pin in the dispensing orifice, it would be desirable to use so-called "soft" elastomers (that is to say elastomers whose hardness is less than about 60 Shore A).
- this material must have a hardness greater than 60 Shore A, which is detrimental to the flexible operation and the desired tightness of the capsule.
- the dimensional tolerances n and positioning of the pin relative to the dispensing orifice may be less well caught
- the mounting of the annular part in the orifice from the inside of the capsule is relatively complicated and requires special appropriate tools
- the present invention firstly relates to a dispensing capsule having flexible operation when it is opened or closed, in good sealing conditions and the cost price of which is competitive.
- a second object of the invention consists of a dispensing capsule, the setting of the tolerances of the dimensions of the spike and / or of the dispensing orifice is easy and whose molding / demolding defects can be remedied.
- Another object of the invention is to create a particularly sealed closure system, resistant to wear throughout the life of the product and ensuring flexible operation, as well as easy opening and closing operation.
- the invention aims advantageously the use of non-circular section orifices, which until now have been unknown in the aforementioned fields of use
- the above-mentioned objectives are achieved by depositing a coating of elastomeric material on the external wall of the spike.
- the deposition of this coating in the event that it is carried out by bi-injection or by overmolding on the spike, is easier to realize that the realization, according to the prior art, of a dispensing orifice made in an elastomer zone
- the realization of a coating on the external wall of the pin allows, on the one hand, to achieve this coating a thin layer, so to save material, and, on the other hand, to use particularly flexible elastomers (of hardness less than 60 Shore A), which gives the capsule a flexible operation and a perfect seal.
- the invention relates to a dispensing capsule intended to equip a bottle containing a fluid product, comprising a body provided with a dispensing orifice and a pivoting cover, articulated with the body around an axis, the body and the cover being made of a rigid or semi-rigid material, this cover being provided with a plugging pin, intended to plug the dispensing orifice in the storage position.
- a coating of elastomeric material is deposited on the external wall of the pin, to ensure, in the closed position of the cover, a perfect seal between the pin and the orifice in said storage position.
- Another object of the invention is constituted by a distribution assembly comprising a product reservoir, equipped with a capsule according to the invention as described above.
- the reservoir equipped with such a capsule is constituted by a more or less flexible bottle, or else by a compressible tube.
- this reservoir has a neck, on which is fixed, by screwing, snapping, overmolding, welding or any other known means, the dispensing capsule.
- the product to be dispensed is capable of flowing under its own weight and is, for example, a shampoo or body milk whose viscosity is generally in a range from 50 mPa-s to 5 Pa s or a powdery product
- the dispensing orifice may have a circular, oval, polygonal or elongated section, the section of the pin being complementary to that of the orifice. Thanks to the invention, it is possible to make orifices, in particular of non-circular section without 'there is a problem with a leak.
- the external coating of the pin has a thickness of between approximately 0.1 mm and 3 mm
- a hollow pin can be produced, formed by a cylindrical skirt.
- the internal volume of the pin can be filled with flexible material. This is advantageous because it avoids a temporary trapping of product residues inside the spike, residues which may run out unexpectedly, when the lid is opened and soil the work surface.
- the cover is articulated with the capsule body using a hinge pivoting about an axis.
- This hinge is preferably a film hinge made of material during the molding of the capsule body and the cover.
- the capsule and its cover are made of a rigid or semi-rigid thermoplastic material, for example polypropylene or high or low density polyethylene.
- the flexible material can be a physico-chemically compatible thermoplastic elastomer compatible with the rigid or semi-rigid material, capable of forming, during the production of the capsule, for example by bi-injection or overmolding, a bond by thermofusion with rigid or semi-rigid material
- thermoplastic elastomer is advantageously chosen from the group of elastomers of polyether blockamides, polyvinyls, terpolymers of ethylene, propylene and a diene
- EPDM styrene-ethylene-butadiene block polymers
- the flexible material is chosen from natural or synthetic rubbers, or else from silicone rubbers
- said coating consists of an elastomer insert deposited on the external wall of the pin by assembly
- this assembly can be carried out, for example, by snapping, gluing, welding, stretching, rolling or any other suitable means.
- the assembly by stretching is very particularly advantageous in that it allows thinner thicknesses.
- the flexible material is chosen so that the coating has a hardness of between 20 Shore A and 90 Shore A, and preferably between 30 Shore A and 60 Shore A
- the capsule of the invention can be provided with a certain number of additional provisions, described below.
- a part of the body and / or of the cover can be provided with a gripping zone comprising a zone made of flexible material, produced at the same time as the coating of the pin, by overmolding or bi-injection of the capsule body.
- This gripping area facilitates the opening and closing of the cover, due to the non-slip effect that certain elastomers exhibit. This is advantageous, especially when the user's hands are wet, for example in the shower.
- the capsule body may include an annular seal made of flexible material, in leaktight contact with a peripheral edge of the cover, when the latter is in the folded position.
- connecting element of flexible material, elastically deformable in elongation, forming a spring.
- one of the ends of the connecting element is secured to the body, the other is secured to the cover.
- the connecting element is mounted so as to be situated on one side of the pivot axis of the cover when the latter is in the open position, and on the other side of the pivot axis when the lid is in closed position.
- the connecting element undergoes an elongation when passing from the open position to the closed position, or vice versa, and the maximum of which is reached during the passage of the connecting element in the pivot axis. This element is thus able to maintain, at will, the cover in two extreme positions: in a fully open position or in a closed or almost closed position.
- the arrangements mentioned above, namely the elastic band, the external coating of the spike or the internal of the orifice, the overmolding of the gripping zones and the annular seal can be carried out in a single manufacturing step using the bi-process.
- -injection consisting in injecting in a single piece, in a suitable mold, firstly, the articulated capsule with the cover of rigid material; in a second step, the elastic band is produced, the coating of the spike or the orifice, the overmolding of the gripping zones and the annular seal in flexible thermoplastic material.
