Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fixing member to fix a dispensing device, such as a pump or a valve on the neck of a tank.
  • a dispensing device such as a pump or a valve on the neck of a tank.
  • a connecting piece which can be present in the form of a ring or a tourrette of attachment, or in the form of a crimped capsule.
  • the snap-on or screw-on ring or turner and the capsule crimping are the two most common types of techniques generally used in the perfume industry and of cosmetics.
  • Figure 2 attached shows a device for distribution 4 equipped with a fixing member in the form a plastic ring to snap onto the neck of a tank.
  • Figure 1 attached shows only the fixing ring 1.
  • distribution which can be either a pump or a valve, consist of a body 41 defining at its upper end a flange 42 which projects towards outside. Beyond this collar 42, a rod actuator 43 projects upwards.
  • This rod actuation 43 is surmounted by a pusher 4 provided with a nozzle 45.
  • the actuation of the dispensing device is carried out by pushing on the pusher 4 so as to push the actuating rod 43 in body 41.
  • the ring fixing used 1 comprises on the one hand means of fixing on the neck of the container and on the other hand means to receive the body 41 of the dispensing device 4.
  • the means of fixing are in the form of legs latching 12 provided at their lower ends with latching heads 13 which project inwards. Snap tabs 12 are flexible enough to allow the snap heads 13 to pass over the neck of the tank and snap below said collar.
  • the attachment final ring 1 on the collar is done by a locking hoop 3 which covers the ring of fixing 1 so that the latching heads 13 do not can no longer move radially outwards. A final fixation is thus ensured.
  • means for receiving the fixing ring 1 for the body 41 of the dispensing device 4 are presented under the form of a latching housing 17, in which the collar 42 of body 41 is engaged in force.
  • This accommodation latching 17 is formed by a cylindrical wall 16 which is connected at its lower end to the legs latching 12 via an annular flange 11 and which is extended at its upper end by a other annular flange 13 pierced in the center by a passage opening 19 for the actuating rod 43.
  • the cylindrical wall 16 is internally provided with snap beads 15 which locally shrink the entrance to the snap-in housing 17.
  • Such a design for a fixing ring is quite classic.
  • the lower surface of the connecting flange 11 constitutes the bearing surface on which is arranged the seal which is placed on the neck of the container. Therefore, the height between the pusher 4 and the flange 11 constitutes the height of which the dispensing device projects beyond the neck of the container. In areas such as perfumery and cosmetic where the aesthetic aspect of the dispenser is particularly important, it is highly appreciated that this height is reduced to a minimum to leave only very few appear the distribution system for the benefit of the tank. For a given distribution device, this push / flange height is directly determined by the height of the cylindrical wall 16 connecting the flange 11 to the flange 18, as can be seen in FIG. 1.
  • the technical problem of this invention is to be able to reduce the distance between these two flanges 11 and 18. This is not possible with a ring fixing the prior art as shown in the Figures 1 and 2. Indeed, for the receiving housing by snap 17 is sufficiently elastic to allow a radial deformation towards the outside of the cylindrical wall 16 during the passage of the collar 42 between the snap beads 15, it is necessary it is imperative that this cylindrical wall 16 has a certain height. It is therefore not possible to reduce this height, because at the level of the connecting flange 11 and at level of the upper flange 18, the wall 16 does not have no elasticity. This requirement for elasticity of the wall cylindrical 16 is also necessary during the demolding of the fixing ring 1 when it is necessary to take out the spindle which was used to mold the receiving housing 17.
  • the purpose of the present invention is therefore to overcome this disadvantage of the prior art by defining an organ the distance between the connecting flange and the end flange is minimized.
  • a fixing of a dispensing device on the neck of a tank comprising a plastic ring provided fixing means on the tank neck and a metal cup received in the ring and provided with means maintaining the dispensing device.
  • the crimping of the fixing by means of a metal cup takes only one very low height since the problems of elasticity linked to the cylindrical wall of the ring the prior art no longer arises. Indeed, the cup is not distorted that once the fixing device in place for crimping. It is therefore possible to distort the cup on a very reduced height compared to the height of the cylindrical wall of the art fixing ring prior. Therefore, the mounting operation of the fixing member on the dispensing device begins by mounting the cup on the flange of the distribution device. This is done from preferably by crimping of course, although others fixation methods are not excluded. Then the cup equipped with its distribution device is engaged in the plastic ring in which it can be advantageously received by snap-fastening.
  • the device distribution equipped with its fixing member is then ready to be mounted on the neck of a tank using a gasket sealing between the cup and the neck of the tank.
  • the ring is either screwed, either snapped on and then locked with a hoop on the tank neck.
  • the distribution device equipped with its cup thus constitutes a subset that we have just engaged in a plastic ring which, depending on the method of attachment chosen will be fitted with latching or screwing means.
  • the cup thus constitutes a standard element for a given dispensing device, while the ring plastic allows a certain modularity as for its fixation technique on the collar.
  • the ring plastic allows a certain modularity as for its fixation technique on the collar.
  • such a plastic ring is extremely simple to mold since it is almost perfectly cylindrical.
  • the fastener used to illustrate this invention shown in Figures 3 and 4 includes two essential component parts, namely a ring made of plastic 1 and a metal cup 2.
  • the definitive fixation of the ring on the neck of the tank is made using a hoop 3 which is in the form of a cylinder is ending at its upper end with an annular rim towards the inside.
  • the implementation of such a hoop 3 does is not an essential element of the present invention, because it depends on how the ring is attached to the collar of the tank. Indeed, in certain types of snap, such a hoop is not necessary.
  • the fixing member of the present invention is essentially constituted by the plastic ring 1 and the metal cup 1.
  • the plastic ring 1 is in the form of a substantially cylindrical part. In its lower part, the ring forms snap tabs 12 which terminate by latching heads 13 which appear under the shape of lugs that protrude inward. The paws 12 therefore extend individually downwards which gives a certain radial elasticity.
  • the part upper part of the plastic ring 1 forms a sleeve 14 which used to hide the cup 2 as well as the rod actuation 43 of the dispensing device so as to that at rest, the lower end of the pusher does not not protruding from the sleeve 14, and this for reasons aesthetic.
  • the sleeve 14 can also serve as walls guide for pusher 44.
  • the ring plastic 1 forms a snap-on housing 122 defined between a lower annular wall 140 of the sleeve 14 and latching teeth 120.
  • This housing reception ring 122 is intended for the reception of the metal cup 2.
  • the metal cup 2 is formed with a flange of link 21 whose peripheral end 210 is adapted to snap into the housing snap 122 formed by the plastic ring 1.
  • the metal cup 2 When the metal cup 2 is mounted on the distribution 4, in particular at the flange protruding 42 formed by the body 41 of the distribution, it forms a throttle 22 below of the collar 4 which flares outwards to form a bead 23 which is extended by an upper flange 25 in which the hole for the rod is formed actuating device 43 of the dispensing device 4.
  • Throttle 22, bead 23 and upper flange 25 form a housing in which the collar 42 is fixedly held.
  • the reception of the flange 42 is produced by crimping.
  • metal cup 2 does not present in the initial state the throttle 22 which is only realized after installation distribution device by crimping.
  • the subset thus formed from the metal cup 2 and the distribution device 4 is then engaged in the plastic ring 1 in the direction of arrow A in the figure 4 until the peripheral edge 210 of the flange of link 21 comes snap inside the housing 122 produced in the ring 1.
  • the assembly is then ready to be snapped onto the neck of a tank with a seal interposed between the connecting flange 12 and the neck of the tank.
  • the hoop 3 is engaged on the plastic ring 1 in the direction of arrow B to cover it and prevent snap tabs from disengaging from below tank neck.
