Description

CONTENANT MUNI D'UN EMBOUT DE DISTRIBUTION AVEC COUVERCLE RETRACTABLECONTAINER PROVIDED WITH A DISPENSING TIP WITH RETRACTABLE LID
La présente invention trouve son application dans le domaine des contenants, du type constitué par un récipient renfermant hermétiquement un produit à 1 état liquide, gazeux ou pâteux. à distribuer et d'un embout de distribution du produit réalisé a une partie d'extrémité supérieure du récipient . L'invention s'adapte aussi bien à un contenant dont l'embout de distribution est constitué tout simplement par un col rétréci d'un récipient nécessitant d'être ouvert ou fermé, qu'à un vaporisateurThe present invention finds its application in the field of containers, of the type constituted by a container hermetically enclosing a product in 1 liquid, gaseous or pasty state. to be dispensed and a dispensing nozzle for the product produced at an upper end portion of the container. The invention is suitable both for a container, the dispensing tip of which simply consists of a narrowed neck of a container needing to be opened or closed, and for a spray bottle.
Dans ce dernier cas, une pompe est sertie, emmanchée ou clipsée, de manière connue, sur le col du récipient et est actionnable manuellement par pressions sur un poussoir comportant un gicleur, buse ou ajutage de libération du produit .In the latter case, a pump is crimped, fitted or clipped, in a known manner, onto the neck of the container and can be actuated manually by pressing on a plunger comprising a nozzle, nozzle or nozzle for releasing the product.
L' actionnement de la pompe est obtenu en exerçant des pressions successives sur l'embout distributeur lorsque celui-ci commande une pompe.The actuation of the pump is obtained by exerting successive pressures on the dispensing nozzle when the latter controls a pump.
Quel que soit le type d'embout de distribution surmontant le contenant, il est toujours nécessaire de le protéger de manière à préserver le produit contenu dans le récipient ou dans le cas d'un pulvérisateur, de protéger le poussoirWhatever the type of dispensing nozzle surmounting the container, it is always necessary to protect it so as to preserve the product contained in the container or, in the case of a sprayer, to protect the pusher
Pour ces raisons. les contenants comportent des moyens de protection de leur embout de distribution, généralement constitués par des capuchons aptes a être vissés directement sur une partie périphérique extérieure du col qui est fileté pour coopérer en vissage avec un alésage fileté correspondant, réalisé dans un alésage dudit capuchonFor these reasons. the containers include means for protecting their dispensing tip, generally constituted by caps capable of being screwed directly onto an external peripheral part of the neck which is threaded to cooperate in screwing with a corresponding threaded bore, produced in a bore of said cap
Selon les cas, ces capuchons pourront être également engagés à force par l'intermédiaire de moyens d ' encliquetage élastique ménagé à l'intérieur du capuchon. coopérant avec des moyens correspondants rigides obtenus de matière ou rapportés sur le col du récipient destiné à recevoir le capuchon.Depending on the case, these caps may also be forcibly engaged by means of elastic snap-fastening means arranged inside the cap. cooperating with corresponding rigid means obtained from material or attached to the neck of the container intended to receive the cap.
L'embout de distribution évoqué ci-dessus, très couramment utilisés dans le domaine de la parfumerie, nécessite également d'être protégé et pour cela, l'on a généralement recours à ces types de capuchons, essentiellement de manière à éviter les pulsions accidentelles pouvant survenir sur le poussoir de la pompe, lorsque le contenant se trouve dans un bagage, un sac à main ou encore une trousse de toilette.The dispensing tip mentioned above, very commonly used in the perfume industry, also needs to be protected and for this, these types of caps are generally used, essentially so as to avoid accidental impulses. which can occur on the pump plunger, when the container is in luggage, a handbag or a toilet bag.
C'est également dans un souci d'esthétique général du contenant que le poussoir de pompe doit être dissimulé par un capuchon même, lorsque le contenant est posé sur un support et qu'il n'est pas utilisé.It is also for the sake of general aesthetics of the container that the pump plunger must be hidden by a cap itself, when the container is placed on a support and it is not used.
Bien entendu, dans le cas d'un capuchon pour vaporisateur, il est également nécessaire, de créer des moyens de fermeture tels que précités, assurant la liaison effective entre le capuchon et le contenant, ces moyens entraînant la mise en oeuvre, pour leur réalisation, d'un outillage complexe et coûteux, impliquant également une main d'oeuvre spécialisée.Of course, in the case of a spray cap, it is also necessary to create closure means as mentioned above, ensuring the effective connection between the cap and the container, these means causing the implementation, for their realization. , complex and expensive tools, also involving specialized labor.
De plus, pour l'utilisateur, tous les dispositifs de fermeture par capuchon impliquent des mouvements de rotation lorsqu'il s'agit d'un capuchon à visser ou bien d'efforts axiaux dans le cas d'une fixation du capuchon par encliquetage sur le coi du récipient.In addition, for the user, all the closure devices by cap imply rotational movements when it is a screw cap or axial forces in the case of a fixing of the cap by snap-fastening on the coi of the container.
Le but de la présente invention est d'offrir un contenant dont l'embout de distribution serait efficacement protégé par des moyens fonctionnels et efficaces ne nécessitant absolument aucune intervention ou manipulation de la part de l'utilisateur, en fait se mettant en oeuvre automatiquement.The object of the present invention is to offer a container whose dispensing tip would be effectively protected by functional and efficient means requiring absolutely no intervention or manipulation on the part of the user, in fact being carried out automatically.
À cet effet, l'invention concerne un contenant du type constitué par : - un récipient renfermant hermétiquement un produit à l'état liquide, gazeux ou pâteux, à distribuer,To this end, the invention relates to a container of the type consisting of: - a container hermetically enclosing a product in the liquid, gaseous or pasty state, to be distributed,
- un embout de distribution du produit réalisé à une partie d'extrémité supérieure du récipient et constitué par un col rétréci de celui-ci pouvant être ouvert ou fermé ou. s agissant d'un vaporisateur, par une pompe sertie sur un col et actionnable manuellement par pressions sur un poussoir, comportant un gicleur, buse ou ajutage de libération du produit, - des moyens de protection de l'embout de distribution, caractérisé en ce que les moyens de protection de l'embout distributeur sont constitués par un manchon de section de forme correspondante, qui est susceptible de coulisser librement sur ledit embout, à proximité de l'extrémité supérieure du récipient, par l'intermédiaire de moyens d'actionnement qui lui sont propres et qui se prolongent également librement à l'autre extrémité opposée du récipient, au-delà de son plan inférieur, pour constituer avec le manchon, un sous-ensemble formant une certaine masse, libre en montée ou en descente par rapport au récipient, de manière à ce que ledit manchon assure automatiquement la protection par recouvrement périphérique latéral de l'embout lorsque le contenant est posé sur un support fixe, ou au contraire sa libération au moins sous le seul effet de l'inertie du sous-ensemble lorsqu'il est soulevé dudit support, lors d'une utilisation .- A nozzle for dispensing the product produced at an upper end part of the container and constituted by a narrowed neck thereof which can be opened or closed or. s acting as a sprayer, by a pump crimped on a neck and manually operable by pressing on a plunger, comprising a nozzle, nozzle or nozzle for releasing the product, - means for protecting the dispensing nozzle, characterized in that that the means for protecting the dispensing nozzle are constituted by a sleeve of correspondingly shaped section, which is capable of sliding freely on said nozzle, near the upper end of the container, by means of actuation means which are specific to it and which also extend freely at the other opposite end of the container, beyond its lower plane, to constitute, with the sleeve, a sub-assembly forming a certain mass, free up or down in relation to to the container, so that said sleeve automatically provides protection by lateral peripheral covering of the nozzle when the container is placed on a support t fixed, or on the contrary its release at least under the sole effect of the inertia of the sub-assembly when it is lifted from said support, during use.
En fait, l'intérêt majeur de l'invention réside dans le fait que l'embout de distribution, par exemple un vaporisateur, est efficacement protégé par le manchon escamotable automatiquement, faisant office de capuchon, sans en être un.In fact, the main interest of the invention lies in the fact that the dispensing nozzle, for example a vaporizer, is effectively protected by the automatically retractable sleeve, acting as a cap, without being one.
La présente invention concerne également les caractéristiques qui ressortiront au cours de la description qui va suivre et qui devront être considérées isolément ou selon toutes leurs combinaisons techniques possiblesThe present invention also relates to the characteristics which will emerge during the description which follows and which should be considered individually or according to all their possible technical combinations
Cette description, donnée a titre d'exemple non limitatif fera mieux comprendre comment 1 invention peut être réalisée en référence aux dessins annexes sur lesquelsThis description, given by way of nonlimiting example, will make it easier to understand how 1 invention can be produced with reference to the accompanying drawings in which
- les figures 1 et 2 représentent en coupe verticale un contenant selon un exemple de réalisation de l'invention, respectivement en position de non-utilisation et d'utilisation de l'embout de distribution, en l'occurrence un vaporisateur ,FIGS. 1 and 2 show in vertical section a container according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, respectively in the position of non-use and of use of the dispensing nozzle, in this case a vaporizer,
- la figure 3 est une vue en perspective éclatée d un contenant selon l'exemple de réalisation des figures 1 et 2 - la figure 4 est une vue en coupe longitudinale correspondant à la perspective éclatée de la figure 3- Figure 3 is an exploded perspective view of a container according to the embodiment of Figures 1 and 2 - Figure 4 is a longitudinal sectional view corresponding to the exploded perspective of Figure 3
Le contenant 1 selon l'invention, représenté sur l'ensemble des figures, est constitué d'une part, d'un récipient 2 renfermant hermétiquement un produit 3 a l'état liquide, gazeux ou pâteux, à distribuer et, d autre part d'un embout 4 de distribution du produit 3 réalisé à une partie d'extrémité supérieure du récipient 2 et constitué dans le cas présent s'agissant d'un vaporisateur, par une pompe 4 sertie sur un col rétréci f> du récipient 2 et actionnable manuellement par pressions sur un poussoir 5 comportant un gicleur buse ou ajutage 7 de libération du produit 3The container 1 according to the invention, shown in all of the figures, consists on the one hand, of a container 2 hermetically enclosing a product 3 in the liquid, gaseous or pasty state, to be distributed and, on the other hand a nozzle 4 for dispensing the product 3 produced at an upper end part of the container 2 and constituted in the present case in the case of a vaporizer, by a pump 4 set on a narrowed neck f> of the container 2 and manually actuated by pressure on a pusher 5 comprising a nozzle or nozzle 7 for product release 3
Selon l'invention, le contenant 1 comporte des moyens de protection de l'embout de distribution 4 qui sont constitues par un manchon 8 de section de forme correspondante, qui est susceptible de coulisser librement- sur ledit embout 4. à proximité de 1 extrémité supérieure du récipient 2, par l'intermédiaire de moyens d actionnement 9À 9A' 9B 9B' qui lui sont propres et qui se prolongent également librement à 1 autre extrémité opposée du récipient 2, au-delà de son plan inférieur _a, pour constituer avec le manchon 8, un sous-ensemble 8-9 formant une certaine masse, libre en montée ou en descente par rapport au récipient 2, de manière à ce que ledit manchon 8 assure automatiquement la protection par recouvrement périphérique latéral de l'embout 4 lorsque le contenant 1 est posé sur un support fixe h . ou au contraire sa libération au moins sous le seul effet de l'inertie du sous-ensemble 8-9 lorsqu'il est soulevé dudit support h . lors d'une utilisation.According to the invention, the container 1 comprises means for protecting the dispensing nozzle 4 which are constituted by a sleeve 8 of section of corresponding shape, which is capable of sliding freely on said nozzle 4. near 1 end top of container 2, by means of actuation means 9A to 9A '9B 9B' which are specific to it and which also extend freely at 1 other end opposite of the container 2, beyond its lower plane _a, to constitute with the sleeve 8, a sub-assembly 8-9 forming a certain mass, free up or down relative to the container 2, so that said sleeve 8 automatically provides protection by lateral peripheral covering of the nozzle 4 when the container 1 is placed on a fixed support h. or on the contrary its release at least under the sole effect of the inertia of the subassembly 8-9 when it is lifted from said support h. during use.
Selon l'exemple de réalisation représenté sur les figures, les moyens d'actionnement du manchon 8 sont constitués par au moins deux bras latéraux 9A, 9B diamétralement opposés, prolongeant le manchon 8 à sa partie inférieure 8a et se rejoignant par deux bras opposés 9A' , 9B' sous le récipient 2 qu'ils entourent et par rapport auquel ils coulissent librement par l'intermédiaire de deux glissières correspondantes 10A, 10B - 10A' , 10B' , ménagées sur les faces latérales externes dudit récipient 2 et avec lesquelles ils coopèrent .According to the embodiment shown in the figures, the means for actuating the sleeve 8 are constituted by at least two diametrically opposite side arms 9A, 9B, extending the sleeve 8 to its lower part 8a and joining by two opposite arms 9A ', 9B' under the container 2 which they surround and relative to which they slide freely by means of two corresponding slides 10A, 10B - 10A ', 10B', formed on the external lateral faces of said container 2 and with which they cooperate.
Toujours selon l'exemple de réalisation choisi, les bras latéraux 9À, 9B et 9A' . 9B' constituant les moyens d'actionnement du manchon 8 s'inscrivent dans une figure géométrique identique à celle dans laquelle s'inscrivent les glissières correspondantes 10A, 10B et 10A' , 10B' du récipient 2, leur écartement £ dans le sens transversal, pour une ligne de contact donnée &, étant sensiblement correspondant à celui du fond des glissières qu'elles épousent, alors qu'un jeu g. est prévu dans le sens axial, équivalent à la course souhaitée, et qui est au moins égal à la hauteur de la partie apparente de la pompe à protéger ou à libérer.Still according to the embodiment chosen, the lateral arms 9A, 9B and 9A '. 9B ′ constituting the means for actuating the sleeve 8 are inscribed in a geometrical figure identical to that in which the corresponding slides 10A, 10B and 10A ′, 10B ′ of container 2 are inscribed, their spacing sens in the transverse direction, for a given contact line & , being substantially corresponding to that of the bottom of the slides they espouse, while a clearance g. is provided in the axial direction, equivalent to the desired stroke, and which is at least equal to the height of the visible part of the pump to be protected or released.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la hauteur totale H du sous-ensemble formé par les bras latéraux supérieurs 9A, 9B surmonté du manchon 8 et par les bras latéraux inférieurs 9A' , 9B' . c'est-à-dire la hauteur comprise entre le sommet du manchon 8 et les extrémités opposées des bras latéraux inférieurs 9A' , 9B' est au moins égale à la somme de la hauteur Hl du récipient 2, embout distributeur 4 compris, et du jeu vertical j. prédéterminé en fonction de la valeur du coulissement souhaité du manchon de protection 8.According to another characteristic of the invention, the total height H of the sub-assembly formed by the upper lateral arms 9A, 9B surmounted by the sleeve 8 and by the lower lateral arms 9A ', 9B'. that is to say the height between the top of the sleeve 8 and the opposite ends of the lower lateral arms 9A ′, 9B ′ is at least equal to the sum of the height Hl of the container 2, including the dispensing nozzle 4, and vertical play j. predetermined according to the desired sliding value of the protective sleeve 8.
Comme le montre particulièrement bien l'ensemble des dessins, la figure géométrique dans laquelle s'inscrit le récipient 2, est constituée globalement par deux troncs de cône 2a, 2b, réunis entre eux par leur grande base circulaire 2e dont les longueurs de base L sont identiques, la petite base 2c de l'un 2b est enfermée et constituant le fond du récipient 2, alors que la petite base 2d de l'autre 2a est ouverte pour recevoir solidairement l'embout du distributeur 4.As all the drawings show particularly well, the geometric figure in which the container 2 is inscribed, is generally constituted by two truncated cones 2a, 2b, joined together by their large circular base 2e whose base lengths L are identical, the small base 2c of one 2b is enclosed and constituting the bottom of the container 2, while the small base 2d of the other 2a is open to receive the nozzle of the distributor 4 securely.
De ce fait, et de manière logique. la figure géométrique dans laquelle s'inscrivent les bras d'actionnement 9A, 9B, 9A' , 9B' du manchon 8, est constituée globalement d'un losange surmonté dudit manchon 8, globalement cylindrique, et réunis à leurs extrémités inférieures par un appendice tronconique 11.Therefore, and logically. the geometrical figure in which the actuating arms 9A, 9B, 9A ', 9B' of the sleeve 8 are inscribed, generally consists of a rhombus surmounted by said sleeve 8, generally cylindrical, and joined at their lower ends by an appendage tapered 11.
Toujours selon le présent exemple de réalisation non limitatif, le récipient entouré partiellement du sous- ensemble manchon 8 - bras d'actionnement 9 est contenu dans un élément externe globalement sphérique 12À, 12B constituant à la fois un habillage décoratif de l'ensemble et une prise de préhension de celui-ci, ledit élément de décor externe sphérique 12A, 12B renfermant fixement le récipient 2 du produit 3, seul le sous-ensemble manchon 8 - bras d'actionnement 9 étant libre d y coulisser axialement de bas en haut ou inversement, d'une part, grâce à son jeu de débattement axial j. dans les rainures 10 dudit récipient 2 et à une ouverture concentrique supérieure 13 par laquelle débouche l'embout distributeur 4 de manière permanente et le manchon selon une fréquence occasionnelle et, d'autre part, grâce à une ouverture concentrique inférieure 14 par laquelle débouche selon la même fréquence occasionnelle l'appendice 11 formé aux extrémités opposées des bras d'actionnement 9A' , 9B' dudit manchon 8.Still according to the present nonlimiting exemplary embodiment, the container partially surrounded by the sleeve sub-assembly 8 - actuating arm 9 is contained in a generally spherical external element 12A, 12B constituting both a decorative covering for the assembly and a gripping grip thereof, said spherical external decor element 12A, 12B fixedly enclosing the container 2 of the product 3, only the sleeve sub-assembly 8 - actuating arm 9 being free to slide axially from bottom to top or vice versa on the one hand, thanks to its axial clearance clearance j. in the grooves 10 of said container 2 and at an upper concentric opening 13 through which the dispensing nozzle 4 opens permanently and the sleeve according to a occasional frequency and, on the other hand, thanks to a lower concentric opening 14 through which the appendage 11 formed at the opposite ends of the actuating arms 9A ', 9B' of said sleeve 8 opens at the same occasional frequency.
Selon un exemple de réalisation non limitatif, les bras d'actionnement supérieurs 9A. 9B sont reliés avec les bras d'actionnement inférieurs 9A' , 9B' par l'intermédiaire de pions 15 ménagés sur les uns et de logements correspondants 16 ménagés sur les autres (figure 3). Cet assemblage pourra également être renforcé par collage ou autre moyen de solidarisation .According to a nonlimiting exemplary embodiment, the upper actuating arms 9A. 9B are connected with the lower actuating arms 9A ', 9B' by means of pins 15 provided on one and corresponding housings 16 provided on the other (FIG. 3). This assembly can also be reinforced by gluing or other means of joining.
Egalement, comme le montrent particulièrement bien les figures 3 et 4, l'élément externe sphérique est constitué par deux demi-sphères 12À, 12B distinctes, pour permettre d'y incorporer le récipient 2, ainsi que le sous-ensemble constitué par le manchon 8 et les bras 9.Also, as shown particularly in FIGS. 3 and 4, the spherical external element is constituted by two separate hemispheres 12A, 12B, to allow the container 2 to be incorporated therein, as well as the sub-assembly constituted by the sleeve. 8 and arms 9.
Les deux demi-sphères 12A, 12B sont alors assemblées par exemple par collage, soudure à ultrasons, clipsage, etc.. Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le sous-ensemble assurant la protection de l'embout distributeur 4 constitué par le manchon 8 et ses bras d'actionnement 9 peut comporter différents moyens de verrouillage (non représentés), en position de fermeture, en vue de son transport en toute sécurité.The two half-spheres 12A, 12B are then assembled, for example by gluing, ultrasonic welding, clipping, etc. According to another characteristic of the invention, the sub-assembly ensuring the protection of the dispensing nozzle 4 constituted by the sleeve 8 and its actuating arms 9 may include different locking means (not shown), in the closed position, for its safe transport.
Comme le montrent enfin les figures, la sphère 12 constituée par les demi-sphères 12A. 12B peut éventuellement recevoir un habillage interne 17 doublant la sphère 12. Dans ce cas, on peut imaginer que la sphère 12 constituée par les demi-sphères 12A. 12B serait transparente. alors que l'habillage interne 17 comporterait des facettes colorées, aptes à procurer des changements de couleurs, par exemple rouge avec des reflets jaunes ou vert avec des reflets bleus. qui fluctueraient en fonction de l'angle sous lequel on regarde le contenant, en fa t de manière a obtenir des effets spéciaux à des fins décoratives et esthétiquesAs finally shown in the figures, the sphere 12 formed by the half-spheres 12A. 12B can optionally receive an internal covering 17 doubling the sphere 12. In this case, one can imagine that the sphere 12 constituted by the half-spheres 12A. 12B would be transparent. while the internal covering 17 would include colored facets, capable of providing color changes, for example red with yellow reflections or green with blue reflections. which would fluctuate depending on the angle from which look at the container, fa t so as to obtain special effects for decorative and aesthetic purposes
Il est évident que l'exemple qui vient d'être décrit et qui concerne un contenant dont le récipient est de forme à double tronc de cône renverse et dont l'habillage extérieur est globalement sphérique pourrait être de toutes autres formes comme par exemple présenter une forme globalement cylindrique ou globalement cubique ou parallélépipédique ou de toutes autres formes, sans pour autant sortir du principe de l'invention consistant à obtenir la protection d'un embout de distribution de manière automatique sans aucune intervention manuelle, par l'intermédiaire de moyens mus au moins par la seule inertie de leur masse constitutive Si nécessaire, cette dernière pourrait être augmentée en lestant l'appendice 11 de liaison des bras latéraux inférieurs 9A' 9B' , prévu initialement creux It is obvious that the example which has just been described and which relates to a container whose container is of shape with double inverted truncated cone and whose external covering is generally spherical could be of any other forms such as for example presenting a generally cylindrical or generally cubic or parallelepipedic shape or any other shape, without departing from the principle of the invention consisting in obtaining the protection of a dispensing nozzle automatically without any manual intervention, by means of mus at least by the sole inertia of their constituent mass If necessary, the latter could be increased by ballasting the appendix 11 connecting the lower lateral arms 9A '9B', initially provided hollow
