Definitions
- the present invention relates to the technical field packaging, and more specifically that of packaging of a fluid product, generally liquid but capable also be pasty or gel, intended to be kept sterile without the addition of preservative, or protected from oxidation or, more generally, protected from any pollution exterior, although in contact with air, and intended also to be dispensed in unit doses using a manual pump.
- the invention more particularly relates to a device packaging and distribution in unit doses of such a product, and which comprises a container intended to contain the product to be dispensed in unit doses to using a manual pump of the type without air intake, which is mounted on the container, sealingly a container opening, for example the open neck of a bottle.
- Such a pump generally comprises a pusher, allowing, by simply pressing the user's finger, causing displacement of a piston in a pumping chamber, the volume of which determines the dose of product to distribute.
- a first valve allows to isolate this chamber from the internal volume of the container, when the product is expelled from this chamber by a second valve, under the effect of the displacement of the piston by pressing on the pusher, and the second valve allows to isolate the chamber from the outside, when this room fills with the first valve of a dose of product from inside the container, and sucked into the chamber by the return of the piston towards its initial position, pressing against a stop of a pump body delimiting the pumping chamber and in which slides the piston, and under the action of elastic means reminder.
- This aspiration of the product causes depression to inside the container.
- This air inlet is generally provided through the pump.
- a first type of known device comprises a pump without air inlet, as well as a deformable container, which contains the product to be packaged and distributed by the pump.
- a deformable container which contains the product to be packaged and distributed by the pump.
- the depression created in the latter contracts this deformable container, which is an internal container around which a rigid external container is provided to ensure the mechanical protection of the deformable internal container.
- the internal deformable container can retract.
- This air intake can be carried out in the vicinity of the container neck but the air inlet can also be provided in the bottom of the rigid container, in which a passage is designed for this purpose.
- More sophisticated devices of this known type include an outside air intake circuit through the pump fitted with a closure system allowing entry of the outside air in the volume between the two containers, when the pump is activated, but preventing vapors from product having passed through the wall of the deformable container and present in the volume between the two containers, escape from this volume to the outside when the pump is not activated.
- a disadvantage of this type of device lies in the requires the use of a pump with a air inlet circuit separate from the product outlet circuit and a system for closing this air intake circuit.
- a pump of complex structure and comprising a large number of pieces, is a delicate and expensive manufacturing.
- Another disadvantage is that the container deformable, when it has started to shrink, tends, by its own elasticity, to return to its position initial and thereby created a depression within the product it contains.
- Another type of known device comprises a container classic, rigid single wall, to which a pump comprising an air inlet circuit in which is provided a filter, for example sterilizing or capturing oxygen air, to keep the product sterile or protect it from oxidation, which generally protects the product from any external pollution.
- a pump comprising an air inlet circuit in which is provided a filter, for example sterilizing or capturing oxygen air, to keep the product sterile or protect it from oxidation, which generally protects the product from any external pollution.
- the sterility of the product in the container is therefore not affected by contact with outside air, this which is particularly advantageous for packaging and the distribution of pharmaceutical products for example.
- Packaging devices of the latter type have been described, in particular in FR-A-2 669 379, but, at the knowledge of the Applicant, none has ever been industrialized to date.
- a first object of the invention is to propose a device packaging and distribution of a product, with a conventional container, a manual pump and a filter, and which allows the use of standard dosing pumps, available on the market at low prices.
- Another object of the invention is to propose such a device in which the creation of a depression is avoided generally liquid product, or in pasty fluid or in gel, so as not to distort the dosage.
- the invention aims to remedy to the disadvantages of similar state of the art devices technical and to propose such a device which is suitable better at the various demands of practice than the devices known.
- a packaging device and distribution of a fluid, generally liquid product but which can in particular be pasty or in gel, comprising a rigid single wall container, intended to contain the product to be packaged and distributed, a manual pump mounted on the container and intended to dispense the product in unit doses, and a filter, intended to filter outside air entering the container when the pump is activated, the device being characterized in that the pump is of the type without air entering the container, and the filter is arranged in an air inlet passage formed in the bottom of container, which is advantageously injection molded in a synthetic material.
- outside air can pass through the passage air inlet and filter, preferably sterile, and come compensate for the depression created in the container when the user operates the pump.
- the container consists of two parts, one of which is a collar with an open neck and on which the pump is assembled with sealing, and the other of which is a body, with the bottom presenting the air inlet passage which houses the filter, the two parts being separately molded by injection then tightly assembled.
- the filter is mounted in a rigid duct, preferably plastic and the filter is made integral, and the outer shape of the sheath corresponds to that of a part of the air inlet passage in which the sheath is fixed by any appropriate means, such as fitting to force, ultrasonic welding and snap-fastening.
- the hydrophobic filter lets in outside air but repels the product which cannot escape to the outside, thus avoiding any risk of leak, and when the product to be packaged and distributed is not aqueous in nature, the hydrophilic filter lets in outside air but repels the product which cannot escape to the outside.
- the device comprises a valve intended to prevent any leakage of the product contained in the container through the air inlet passage, this valve can be disposed between the filter and the interior volume of the container, to avoid contact between the product and the filter, when the chemical nature of the latter is incompatible with that of the product.
- the filter can, as a variant, be arranged between the product in the container and the valve when it is the chemical nature of the valve which is incompatible with that of the product.
- the valve is elastically deformable and cooperates with a seat, preferably conical, on and / or in a chimney integral with the bottom and delimiting the passage air inlet, and in which the filter is retained.
- a seat preferably conical, on and / or in a chimney integral with the bottom and delimiting the passage air inlet, and in which the filter is retained.
- Such elastic valve can effectively prevent any exit of the product to the outside of the container through the inlet passage air, while allowing the entry of outside air by flexing elastically towards the inside of the container, under the effect of the suction of outside air during the pumping phase a dose of product outside the interior volume of the container.
- the elastic valve is retained by a key on and / or in the fireplace, for example on and / or in the end of the chimney which faces inwards of the container.
- the air inlet passage may include grooves in the key and / or in the seat and / or in the wall of an orifice in which is retained the key for fixing the valve on the chimney.
- the filter possibly with its sheath, is fitted in a conical central part of a single chimney piece with the bottom of the container.
- the inlet passage of air opens, towards the interior of the container, in the part central of a conical bottom of the container, said diverging bottom towards the inside of the container so as to allow better emptying of the container.
- filters can be used of commerce usually used in cooperation with a syringe and needle, in order to sterilize the product contained in the syringe, these commercial filters being housed in a plastic sheath comprising a female conical part, for assembly with the outlet male conical part of the syringe, and a male conical part for assembly with the female conical part of the needle. It is for this reason that it is advantageously proposed that the air inlet passage has a female conical part in which is assembled, possibly by simple fitting, the male conical part of the filter sheath.
- the device packaging and distribution in unit doses of a product includes a single container 15 rigid wall, consisting of two parts, namely a body 15b, of generally cylindrical shape, closed by a bottom and open at its upper part, and a collar 15a, of general shape cylindro-conical converge upwards, and made integral sealingly from the body 15b.
- a product e.g. liquid
- a container 15 rigid wall consisting of two parts, namely a body 15b, of generally cylindrical shape, closed by a bottom and open at its upper part, and a collar 15a, of general shape cylindro-conical converge upwards, and made integral sealingly from the body 15b.
- the pump 13 comprises a body 32 having a part cylindrical central unit, in which a piston slides 3 having a central chimney by which the piston 3 is secured a pusher 1 crossed by a distribution channel 33.
- a first valve 11, with a sealing ball cooperates with a frustoconical seat 12 around a central opening in the bottom 34 of the cylindrical central part of the body of pump 32, to isolate the pumping chamber 8, delimited in this body 32 between the piston 3 and the bottom 34 of this body 32, of the interior volume 20 of the container 15.
- a second valve 2, also with shutter ball, cooperates with a seat 4, also frustoconical, around the central opening in the chimney of the piston 3, in order to isolate the pumping chamber 8 from the outside, through distribution channel 33 of the pusher 1.
- a helical compression spring 10 extending into the pumping chamber 8 between the lower part of the piston 3 and the bottom 34 of the pump body 32, recalls the piston 3 in the rest position, against a stop in radial projection inside the cylindrical part of the pump body 32. In this rest position, the two valves 2 and 11 are closed and the pumping chamber 8 is maximum volume.
- the cylindrical central part of the pump body 32 is engaged inside the open neck 9 of the container 15, and an annular seal 5 is mounted around the body pump 32 and between a folded edge 6 of the latter and the neck 9 of the neck 15a, thus ensuring sealing between the body 32 of the pump 13 and the neck 9.
- the flange folded down 6 of the pump body 32 is provided with a step 7 in protruding towards the inside of the body 32, and allowing the attachment of the pump 13 to the container 15 by snap-fastening of the step 7 of the pump body 32 in a peripheral groove corresponding 27 formed in the external face of the neck 9 of the neck 15a of the container.
- the chimney 22 is double wall in this example, and includes an external wall, surrounding its conical female part 19, and the end of which lower is in one piece with the bottom 35 of the body 15b while its upper end, towards the inside of the volume 20, is in one piece with its conical female part 19.
- the chimney 22 also has, on its upper end towards the inside of volume 20, a frustoconical face 18, very flared and diverge towards the interior of volume 20, and constituting a seat against which comes to apply, in closed position, the diaphragm valve 17 resiliently deformable, in the form of a flat annular disc retained on the chimney 22 by a key 16.
- This key 16 has an enlarged head, applied against the face of the valve 17 facing inside the volume 20, and a rod passing through the opening central of the annular valve 17 and made integral with the chimney 22 by force fitting the key shank 16 in an orifice in the chimney 22.
- This orifice participates in the delimitation of the air inlet passage, because this passage is not never completely closed with key 16, so that air exterior can still enter interior volume 20 of the container 15 by passing through the filter 26 in the chimney 22 and while the valve 17 is moved away from its seat 18 by a depression in the volume 20, following an actuation of the pump.
- FIG. 3 and 4 show a variant in which the filter 26 is retained at inside the central passage of a tubular sheath 23, of which the external shape can advantageously be frustoconical of so that it can itself be united with the party female conical 19 of the chimney 22.
- a free space 24 remains between the top of the filter 26 and its sheath 23 and the below the central upper part of the chimney 22 which has the seat 18, and grooves 25 are formed in this central upper part of the chimney 22 and ensure communication between the free space 24 and the face the valve 17 located on the side of its seat 18 on the chimney 22.
- the key 16 the lower part or rod of which is returned secured to the central upper part of the chimney 22 by force fitting in an axial opening of this part which is adjacent to one of the axial grooves 25, has its upper part or enlarged disc-shaped head which allows to retain the central part of the valve 17, forming a seal in the rest position, while allowing the peripheral part of the same valve 17 with elastic membrane to rise, for the entry of outside air into the container 15, to compensate for a depression created in the container 15, when the user operates the pump 13.
- the sheath 23 surrounding the filter 26 can be force-fitted into the conical part 19 of the chimney 22, of substantially complementary geometric shape to the external shape of the sheath 23, which is produced in rigid plastic, and can also be ultrasonically welded into the chimney 22.
- the sheath 23 can also be retained in the chimney 22 by elastic snap of a peripheral ring of the sheath 23 in a complementary groove in the conical part 19 of the chimney 22.
- the container body 15b is made of material plastic using injection techniques and is assembled tightly at the neck 15a, also made in injected plastic, by ultrasonic welding or by any other suitable waterproof assembly technique, can get excellent geometry from all parts of the central chimney 22, injection molded with the container body 15b, and in particular excellent geometry of the conical seat 18 to which the valve is applied elastic 17, and of the conical part 19 in which is houses the filter 26, possibly surrounded by its conical sheath 23.
- the device whose structure has just been described, works as follows: manual pressure, exerted by the user on the pusher 1, moves the piston 3 against the spring 10, towards the bottom 34 of the body pump 32, which has the effect of creating an overpressure in chamber 8.
- This overpressure raises valve 2, which allows the product contained in the chamber 8 to escape outwards via the central chimney of the piston 3 then channel 33 of pusher 1, while simultaneously the valve 11 is closed, which prevents any backflow of the product contained in chamber 8 towards the interior 20 of the container 15.
- a dose of product is thus distributed to outside.
- the spring 10 recalls the piston 3 until it initial rest position, pressing against the stop in the pump body 32, which creates a vacuum in the chamber 8. This depression closes the upper valve 2, which prevents any outside air entering chamber 8, and simultaneously opens the lower valve 11, which allows a new dose of product entering room 8 from of the interior volume 20 of the container 15.
- FIG 2 are shown separately the neck 15a and the body 15b forming, after tight assembly, the container 15.
- the neck 15 is a plastic part of revolution whose profile allows injection molding, which makes it possible to obtain great precision in production.
- the neck 9 for the support of the seal 5 the groove 27 for attaching the corresponding step 7 to the pump body 32, as well as the widest part of the neck 15a, the diameter corresponds to that of the corresponding part of the body 15b, and by which the assembly with the body 15b by means of ultrasonic welding, for example.
- a circular step 28 allows a better routing of ultrasound by acting as a director energy.
- the body 15b is also a part of revolution achieved by injection molding in the same plastic material than the neck 15a, so that it can easily assemble with ultrasound with the latter.
- a step 29 circular, also acting as a director of energy, is produced on the body 15b in opposition to the step 28 of the neck 15a, and allows easy and waterproof welding between the neck 15a and the body 15b.
- the simple shape of the chimney 22 also allows injection molding, whereby are precisely obtained the frustoconical internal face of the conical part 19 of the chimney 22, for assembly by interlocking or by any other means, such as by way of example, of the sheath 23 of the filter 26, orifice 31 (FIG. 2) for assembly by fitting to force of the key 16, the grooves 25 (in the variant of the figures 3 and 4), and the conical seat 18 on which the underside of the elastic valve 17.
- plastic injection moldable such as polypropylene for example
- the chimney 22 single wall and in one piece, by its lower end, with the bottom of the container 15, always has a passage central of frustoconical shape converge towards the interior of the container 15, to receive the filter 26, possibly without the sheath 23 of Figures 3 and 4, but no valve is mounted on the chimney 22.
- the sterile filter 26 chosen can be hydrophobic type, when an aqueous product is packaged in the container 15, or a hydrophilic filter in the case opposite.
- FIG. 6 represents another variant of the bottom 35 of the container and the central part of the inlet chimney 22 outside air.
- the chimney 22 double walled and always in one piece with the bottom 35 by the lower end of its outer wall, has a bottom 36 at its interior conical wall or central part 19, to receive the filter and which, in this example, diverges towards the inside of the container 15, and no longer towards the outside of the latter, as shown in the others embodiments.
- the central bottom 36 is pierced with an eccentric hole 37, and, although not shown in Figure 6, a elastic valve can be attached to the top of the chimney 22, so as to cooperate with the frustoconical seat 18, in which, as in the example of FIGS. 3 and 4, at least one air passage groove 25 is formed and extends into the internal face of the conical central part 19.
- the advantage of this realization lies in the possibility to inject the plastic, during the realization of the body 15b, in the center of the bottom 36, which allows a better distribution of the material and obtaining a almost perfectly cylindrical piece.
- the flat bottom 35 of the container 15 of the previously described examples has been replaced by a conical bottom 30, which allows, at the end of use, to recover more only when the bottom is flat, especially because that the conical bottom 30 converges downwards and towards the outside of the container 15 by its central part of a single piece with the upper end of the central chimney 22 single wall and with a frustoconical central passage for the filter housing 26 in the inlet passage of air passing through the chimney 22 and the center of the bottom 30. From by its conical shape, the latter simultaneously constitutes a seat for a possible elastic valve such as valve 17 Figures 3 and 4.
- the length of the tube plunger 14 can be limited by the presence of the chimney 22, and the latter is protected, although projecting under the bottom 30, by the extension of the side wall of the body of the container 15 below the bottom 30.
- the chimney 22 in the center of the bottom 35 of the container body 15b is single-walled with three sections of revolution in succession, the lower section, slightly frustoconical or cylindrical, being in one piece with the bottom 35, the upper section (towards the inside of the container) frustoconical constituting the conical female part 19 delimiting the air inlet passage and housing the filter 26 in its sheath 23, while the frustoconical intermediate section is very flared towards the outside under the bottom of the container.
- the lower section and the intermediate section thus delimit a housing in which is fitted the key 16 retaining the valve 17 with elastic membrane against the frustoconical seat 18 formed by the underside of the frustoconical intermediate section.
- Air passage grooves 25 are formed laterally in key 16 and end up under the upper end and central of the valve 17, which is elastically deformed towards the inside of the chimney 22 under the effect of a aspiration by a depression created in the container when the pump 13 operates, and so as to let the outside air enter the container through the filter 26 which, in this variant is arranged between the valve 17 and the product in the container.
- This variant has the following advantages. She prevents the valve 17 from being in contact with the product located in the container when the chemical nature of the valve 17 is incompatible with that of the product. This variant allows to block the filter 26 and the sheath 23 using the key 16, so that the filter 26 and / or the sheath 23 does not escape towards the outside of the chimney 22. The filter 26 is protected from any external physical damage, detrimental to its integrity and its proper functioning. Finally, this variant provides a better aesthetic to the container, by masking the presence of filter 26.
- the addition of an intermediate piece, of the connecting ring type, between the pump and the body to allow the attachment of the pump is an equivalent means at the addition of a neck such as 15a on a body such as 15b of the container.
