Description
La présente invention concerne un embout de distribution comportant une partie d'extrémité sécable selon le préambule de la revendication 1.The present invention relates to a dispensing nozzle having a breakable end portion according to the preamble of claim 1.
On connaît de nombreux embouts de distribution dans lesquels la partie d'extrémité est détachée du corps de l'embout par un mouvement de rotation autour de l'axe de l'embout.Numerous dispensing nozzles are known in which the end portion is detached from the body of the nozzle by a rotational movement about the axis of the nozzle.
Dans de tels embouts de distribution, la partie d'extrémité s'étend dans le prolongement du corps de l'embout, au-dessus de la zone de cassure.In such dispensing nozzles, the end portion extends in the extension of the body of the nozzle, above the break zone.
Ces embouts de distribution offrent satisfaction lorsqu'ils sont réalisés d'un seul tenant avec de petits flacons conditionnés en bandes et contenant une faible quantité de produit.These dispensing tips are satisfactory when they are made in one piece with small bottles packaged in strips and containing a small amount of product.
Par contre, lorsqu'un récipient contenant une quantité relativement importante de produit, équipé d'un embout de distribution comportant une partie d'extrémité sécable telle que définie plus haut, est placé dans une boîte en carton avec une possibilité de déplacement à intérieur de celle-ci, on a constaté que les chocs du récipient contre les parois de la boîte au cours du transport pouvaient entraîner le basculement de la partie d'extrémité autour d'un axe transversal à l'axe de l'embout au point de provoquer le détachement accidentel de la partie d'extrémité.By cons, when a container containing a relatively large amount of product, equipped with a dispensing nozzle having a breakable end portion as defined above, is placed in a cardboard box with a possibility of moving inside of this, it was found that the shocks of the container against the walls of the box during transport could cause the tilting of the end portion about an axis transverse to the axis of the tip to the point of causing accidental detachment of the end portion.
La fuite de produit qui en résulte peut alors rendre impropre à la vente tout un lot de marchandises.The resulting product leak can then render unfit for sale a whole lot of goods.
On connaît par le
On connaît par le
Il existe un besoin pour disposer d'un embout de distribution à partie d'extrémité sécable capable d'être ouvert facilement et pouvant être monté sur un récipient contenant une quantité relativement importante de produit, sans risque de détachement accidentel de la partie d'extrémité au cours du transport.There is a need for a breakaway tip dispensing tip capable of being easily opened and mountable to a container containing a relatively large amount of product, without the risk of accidental detachment of the end portion during transport.
Le nouvel embout de distribution selon l'invention comporte les caractéristiques de la revendication 1.The novel dispensing nozzle according to the invention comprises the features of claim 1.
Le
De préférence, la partie d'extrémité sécable comporte deux portions latérales s'étendant au moins partiellement sous le niveau de la zone de cassure.Preferably, the breakable end portion has two lateral portions extending at least partially below the level of the break zone.
Grâce au fait que la ou les portions latérales s'étendent au moins partiellement sous le niveau de la zone de cassure et non pas entièrement dans le prolongement du corps de l'embout, en étant disposées par exemple sur des côtés opposés du corps de l'embout, la partie d'extrémité peut être réalisée avec une faible extension axiale au-dessus de la zone de cassure.Due to the fact that the lateral portion or portions extend at least partially below the level of the zone of fracture and not entirely in the extension of the body of the end piece, being arranged for example on opposite sides of the body of the body. tip, the end portion can be made with a small axial extension above the break zone.
On diminue ainsi les risques de cassure accidentelle de la partie d'extrémité lors du transport.This reduces the risk of accidental breakage of the end portion during transport.
De plus, l'encombrement axial du récipient équipé de l'embout de distribution reste relativement faible, ce qui permet de diminuer la taille de la boîte ou de disposer à l'intérieur de celle-ci de plus de place pour insérer une cale destinée à freiner le déplacement du récipient dans la boîte.In addition, the axial size of the container equipped with the dispensing tip remains relatively small, which allows to reduce the size of the box or to have inside thereof more space to insert a shim to slow the movement of the container in the box.
Dans une réalisation particulière, la ou les portions latérales se raccordent à la portion transversale et s'étendent entièrement sous le niveau de la face supérieure de cette portion transversale.In a particular embodiment, the lateral portion or portions are connected to the transverse portion and extend entirely below the level of the upper face of this transverse portion.
De préférence, la face supérieure de la portion transversale est sensiblement plane ou légèrement convexe vers l'extérieur, la portion transversale présentant avantageusement une forme générale aplatie.Preferably, the upper face of the transverse portion is substantially flat or slightly convex towards the outside, the transverse portion advantageously having a generally flattened shape.
Toujours dans une réalisation particulière, la portion transversale présente en vue de dessus un contour circulaire.Still in a particular embodiment, the transverse portion has a top view in a circular outline.
Avantageusement, la portion transversale présente une forme générale discoïde.Advantageously, the transverse portion has a general discoid shape.
L'embout de distribution comporte avantageusement deux ailettes diamétralement opposées disposées dans un plan de joint et s'étendant au moins partiellement de part et d'autre du corps de l'embout.The dispensing nozzle advantageously comprises two diametrically opposed fins disposed in a plane of joint and extending at least partially on either side of the body of the nozzle.
De préférence, la portion transversale de la partie d'extrémité est au moins trois fois plus large, lorsqu'observée dans l'axe de l'embout, que l'extrémité supérieure du corps de l'embout, de façon à offrir une prise suffisante à l'utilisateur pour lui permettre de détacher la partie d'extrémité par un mouvement de basculement autour d'un axe perpendiculaire à celui de l'embout.Preferably, the transverse portion of the end portion is at least three times wider, when observed in the axis of the tip, than the upper end of the body of the tip, so as to offer a grip sufficient for the user to allow him to detach the end portion by a tilting movement about an axis perpendicular to that of the tip.
Ainsi, selon que l'utilisateur dispose d'une ou de deux mains libres, il peut soit détacher sans effort important la partie d'extrémité par un mouvement de rotation grâce aux portions précitées, en utilisant ses deux mains, soit provoquer le basculement de la partie d'extrémité avec le pouce d'une seule main si l'autre est occupée.Thus, depending on whether the user has one or two free hands, it can either detach the end portion without significant effort by a rotational movement through the aforementioned portions, using both hands, or cause the tilting of the end part with the thumb of one hand if the other is busy.
Dans une réalisation particulière, la ou les portions latérales précitées sont reliées au corps de l'embout par des ponts de matière sécables.In a particular embodiment, the aforementioned lateral portion or portions are connected to the body of the endpiece by bridges of breakable material.
Ces derniers accroissent la résistance de la partie d'extrémité à un détachement accidentel, en s'opposant notamment au basculement de la partie d'extrémité autour d'un axe perpendiculaire à celui de l'embout.These increase the resistance of the end portion to accidental detachment, in particular opposing tilting of the end portion about an axis perpendicular to that of the tip.
Dans une réalisation préférée, le bord supérieur de la ou des portions latérales est dirigé vers l'extérieur et vers le bas.In a preferred embodiment, the upper edge of the one or more side portions is directed outward and downward.
L'invention a encore pour objet un récipient équipé d'un embout de distribution tel que précité.The invention also relates to a container equipped with a dispensing nozzle as mentioned above.

La face inférieure 27 convexe de la région centrale 21 forme, avec l'extrémité supérieure du corps 11, une gorge annulaire 25 autour de la paroi amincie 23.The convex
Deux ailettes 26 diamétralement opposées se raccordent à la face inférieure 27 de la région centrale 21 et s'étendent vers le bas de part et d'autre du corps 11, comme on peut le voir sur les figures 2 et 3 plus particulièrement.Two diametrically
Ces ailettes 26 se situent entièrement sous le niveau de la face supérieure 22 de la région centrale 21 et s'étendent partiellement sous le niveau de la zone de cassure 24.These
Dans l'exemple de réalisation décrit, les ailettes 26 sont réalisées dans le plan de joint de l'embout de distribution 10.In the embodiment described, the
Les ailettes 26 sont disposées, sans être dans l'axe X du corps de l'embout, de manière à permettre à l'utilisateur de détacher la partie d'extrémité 20 par un mouvement de rotation autour de l'axe X.The
Le corps 11 comporte à sa base une première jupe intérieure filetée 13 pour le vissage sur un col fileté extérieurement d'un récipient ainsi qu'une deuxième jupe intérieure d'étanchéité 14 venant s'appliquer de manière étanche sur la surface intérieure de ce col au terme du vissage.The
Bien entendu, on ne sort pas du cadre de la présente invention lorsque l'embout de distribution 10 est réalisé non pas sous la forme d'une pièce rapportée mais d'un seul tenant avec le corps du récipient.Of course, it is not beyond the scope of the present invention when the dispensing
Pour distribuer le produit contenu dans le récipient, l'utilisateur tient d'une main le récipient et entraîne avec l'autre main, en prenant appui sur les ailettes 26, la partie d'extrémité 20 en rotation autour de l'axe X, provoquant la cassure de la paroi annulaire amincie 23, laquelle définit alors un orifice 28 par lequel le produit peut s'écouler.In order to dispense the product contained in the container, the user holds the container with one hand and drives with the other hand, while bearing on the
En variante, l'utilisateur peut détacher la partie d'extrémité 20 d'une seule main en faisant basculer vers le haut avec le pouce la région centrale 21 autour d'un axe perpendiculaire à l'axe X.Alternatively, the user may detach the
On a représenté sur la figure 4 un embout de distribution 10' conforme à une variante de réalisation, laquelle diffère de la précédente par le fait que les ailettes 26' se raccordent non seulement à la partie d'extrémité 20' mais également au corps de l'embout par des ponts de matière 30, à rompre lors de la première utilisation.FIG. 4 shows a dispensing nozzle 10 'according to an alternative embodiment, which differs from the previous one in that the fins 26' are connected not only to the end part 20 'but also to the body of the body. the tip by bridges of
Ces ponts de matière 30 s'opposent au basculement de la partie d'extrémité 20' autour d'un axe perpendiculaire à l'axe X.These
Ainsi, le risque de détachement accidentel de la partie d'extrémité 20' est diminué.Thus, the risk of accidental detachment of the end portion 20 'is decreased.
Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux deux exemples de réalisation qui viennent d'être décrits.Of course, the invention is not limited to the two embodiments which have just been described.
On peut notamment augmenter le nombre d'ailettes ou modifier leur forme ou celle de la région centrale de la partie d'extrémité.In particular, it is possible to increase the number of fins or to modify their shape or that of the central region of the end portion.
A titre d'exemple, on a représenté sur la figure 5 un embout 10" selon une variante de réalisation dans laquelle la région centrale 21" présente en vue de côté une forme lenticulaire, avec une face supérieure 32" légèrement convexe vers l'extérieur.By way of example, there is shown in FIG. 5 a
Les ailettes 26" diffèrent des ailettes 26 par le fait que leur bord supérieur 31 est incliné vers l'extérieur et vers le bas, ce qui diminue encore le risque de contact des ailettes avec l'emballage et de rupture accidentelle de la partie d'extrémité sécable.The
