Abstract

The bottle for a liquid or cream has a spray head (8) fitted on to its neck (4) and a cap (3) fitted over this. A positioning system aligns a decoration on the cap with a second decoration on the bottle. This consists of a magnet (16) in an annular seating on the cap and a second magnet (11) in a second annular seating on the bottle, so that opposite poles of the two magnets are aligned when the decorations are in the correct positions and the air gap between the two is reduced.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de conditionnement pour un produit fluide, liquide ou pâteux, par exemple un flacon de parfum.The present invention relates to a packaging device for a fluid, liquid or pasty product, for example a bottle of perfume.

De manière générale, un tel dispositif comporte un récipient destiné à contenir le produit, le goulot du récipient étant muni d'une tête de distribution du produit, et un capuchon est destiné à coiffer au moins partiellement ladite tête. Le capuchon comme le récipient peuvent comporter des éléments extérieurs ornementaux, par exemple des inscriptions, des repères ou des signes, qui doivent être alignés ou positionnés les uns par rapport aux autres. Le capuchon comme le récipient peuvent également présenter des formes asymétriques ou polygonales, qui doivent être alignées l'une avec l'autre, lors de la fermeture du récipient.Generally, such a device comprises a container intended to contain the product, the neck of the container being provided with a product distribution head, and a cap is intended to cover the at least partially said head. The cap like the container may include ornamental exterior elements, for example inscriptions, markers or signs, which must be aligned or positioned relative to each other. The cap like the container may also have asymmetrical shapes or polygonal, which must be aligned with each other, when container closure.

Pour assurer un alignement correct de l'élément ornemental extérieur du capuchon par rapport à l'élément ornemental extérieur du récipient, il est possible de prévoir un détrompeur pour permettre la fermeture du récipient par le capuchon, dans une position relative prédéterminée qui assure l'alignement des éléments ornementaux extérieurs du capuchon par rapport au récipient. Toutefois, un tel système mécanique de positionnement relatif peut entraíner des tâtonnements de la part de l'utilisateur, avant de trouver la position relative autorisée pour la fermeture du récipient par le capuchon. En outre, un tel système mécanique vient compliquer le système de retenue du capuchon sur le récipient, en position de fermeture.To ensure correct alignment of the ornamental element exterior of the cap relative to the exterior ornamental element of the container, it is possible to provide a polarizing device to allow the closure of the container by the cap, in a relative position predetermined which ensures the alignment of the ornamental elements outside of the cap relative to the container. However, such mechanical relative positioning system can cause trial and error on the part of the user, before finding the position relative authorized for the closure of the container by the cap. In in addition, such a mechanical system complicates the restraint system of the cap on the container, in the closed position.

L'invention a pour but d'éliminer les inconvénients précités et de proposer un dispositif de conditionnement qui présente un système de positionnement relatif des éléments ornementaux extérieurs du capuchon et du récipient dont l'utilisation soit simple et efficace, tout en assurant une bonne fermeture du récipient par le capuchon.The object of the invention is to eliminate the aforementioned drawbacks and to propose a packaging device which presents a relative positioning of the exterior ornamental elements of the cap and container that are simple and effective to use, everything ensuring proper closure of the container by the cap.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un dispositif de conditionnement pour un produit fluide, liquide ou pâteux, comportant un récipient destiné à contenir ledit produit, le goulot du récipient étant muni d'une tête de distribution du produit, et un capuchon destiné à coiffer au moins partiellement ladite tête, le dispositif comportant un système de positionnement relatif d'au moins un premier élément ornemental extérieur porté par le capuchon par rapport à au moins un deuxième élément ornemental extérieur porté par le récipient dans une position relative prédéterminée, caractérisé par le fait que ledit système de positionnement relatif est un système magnétique de positionnement relatif automatique à la fermeture, ledit système comportant un premier moyen magnétique à aimantation permanente porté par le capuchon et un deuxième moyen magnétique à aimantation permanente porté par le récipient dans un emplacement tel que les premier et second moyens magnétiques précités sont en vis à vis en position de fermeture du récipient, le premier moyen magnétique présentant au moins deux pôles magnétiques opposés S, N sur sa face tournée vers le second moyen magnétique, dont la face en regard présente des pôles magnétiques complémentaires (N, S), l'emplacement des pôles de chaque moyen magnétique étant déterminé par rapport à l'emplacement des éléments ornementaux extérieurs, de façon à obtenir automatiquement le positionnement relatif prédéterminé desdits éléments ornementaux extérieurs à la fermeture du récipient.To this end, the invention relates to a device for packaging for a fluid, liquid or pasty product, comprising a container intended to contain said product, the neck of the container being fitted with a product distribution head, and a cap intended for at least partially cover said head, the device comprising a relative positioning system of at least a first element ornamental exterior carried by the cap relative to at least one second external ornamental element carried by the container in a predetermined relative position, characterized in that said system relative positioning is a magnetic positioning system relating to automatic closing, said system comprising a first permanent magnet magnetic means carried by the cap and a second permanent magnet magnetic means carried by the container in a location such as the first and second means magnetic aforementioned are opposite in the closed position of the container, the first magnetic means having at least two poles opposite magnetic S, N on its side facing the second means magnetic, whose opposite face has magnetic poles complementary (N, S), the location of the poles of each means being determined relative to the location of the elements ornamental exterior, so as to automatically obtain the predetermined relative positioning of said ornamental elements outside the container closure.

Selon une caractéristique particulière de l'invention, le récipient comporte une pièce entourant son goulot, ladite pièce présentant un logement annulaire apte à contenir le second moyen magnétique précité, et le capuchon comporte également un logement annulaire apte à contenir à sa base le premier moyen magnétique précité, de façon qu'à la fermeture, le premier moyen magnétique est circonscrit à la tête de distribution et se superpose au second moyen magnétique, avec un entrefer réduit.According to a particular characteristic of the invention, the container has a part surrounding its neck, said part having a annular housing capable of containing the second magnetic means mentioned above, and the cap also comprises an annular housing suitable to contain at its base the first aforementioned magnetic means, so when closing, the first magnetic means is circumscribed to the head distribution and is superimposed on the second magnetic means, with a reduced air gap.

Avantageusement, le capuchon et le récipient comportent des moyens complémentaires servant au guidage du capuchon sur le goulot du récipient lors de la fermeture et permettant une rotation axiale du capuchon par rapport au récipient sous l'effet des forces magnétiques d'attraction et/ou de répulsion, quelle que soit la forme externe du capuchon ou du récipient. De préférence, le capuchon 3 présente une surface interne cylindrique circulaire qui vient s'emboíter à glissement, lors de la fermeture, sur une portion cylindrique circulaire de la pièce entourant la tête de distribution du dispositif. Advantageously, the cap and the container include additional means for guiding the cap on the neck of the container during closing and allowing axial rotation of the cap relative to the container under the effect of magnetic forces of attraction and / or repulsion, whatever the external form of the cap or container. Preferably, the cap 3 has a circular cylindrical internal surface which comes to slip, when closing, on a circular cylindrical portion of the part surrounding the dispensing head of the device.

Dans une première variante, chaque moyen magnétique est constitué d'un aimant permanent annulaire multipolaire, chaque aimant étant fixé dans son logement respectif, par exemple par collage ou coincement. Dans une autre variante, chaque moyen magnétique est constitué d'une pluralité de petits aimants permanents, par exemple en forme de pion, surmoulés d'une garniture en plastique de forme générale annulaire, chaque garniture annulaire étant fixée dans son logement respectif, par exemple par collage ou coincement.In a first variant, each magnetic means is consisting of a permanent multi-pole annular magnet, each magnet being fixed in its respective housing, for example by gluing or jamming. In another variant, each magnetic means is consisting of a plurality of small permanent magnets, for example in pawn-shaped, overmolded with a plastic trim general annular, each annular packing being fixed in its respective housing, for example by gluing or wedging.

Avantageusement, l'un au moins des premier et/ou second éléments ornementaux extérieurs est constitué par une inscription, un repère ou un signe porté par le capuchon ou le récipient.Advantageously, at least one of the first and / or second exterior ornamental elements consists of an inscription, a mark or sign carried by the cap or container.

Selon encore une autre caractéristique, lorsque le capuchon et/ou le récipient ne présente(nt) pas une surface extérieure de révolution, l'un au moins des premier et second éléments ornementaux extérieurs est constitué par la forme même de cette surface. Dans ce cas, on peut prévoir que lorsque le capuchon et une pièce entourant le goulot du récipient, ont une même section polygonale, les premier et second éléments ornementaux extérieurs sont constitués par les arêtes desdits polygones, de façon que le système magnétique de positionnement relatif précité aligne automatiquement les arêtes du capuchon avec celles de ladite pièce.According to yet another characteristic, when the cap and / or the container does not have an external surface of revolution, at least one of the first and second external ornamental elements consists of the very shape of this surface. In this case, we can provide that when the cap and a part surrounding the neck of the container, have the same polygonal section, the first and second external ornamental elements consist of the edges of said polygons, so that the magnetic positioning system above mentioned automatically aligns the edges of the cap with those of said room.

The invention will be better understood, and other objects, details, characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear more clearly at the neck of the detailed explanatory description which will follow from several alternative embodiments of the invention given solely by way of illustration and not limiting, with reference to the attached schematic drawing.

Sur la figure 1, on voit un récipient constitué d'un flacon 1 à section rectangulaire, dont la partie supérieure est munie d'une frette 2 dont la base est à section carré, un capuchon 3 de même section que ladite base étant surmonté à cette dernière. Les arêtes 2a de la frette 2 sont alignées avec les arêtes 3a du capuchon 3.In Figure 1, we see a container consisting of a section bottle 1 rectangular, the upper part of which is provided with a hoop 2, the base is of square section, a cap 3 of the same section as said base being overcome at the latter. The edges 2a of the fret 2 are aligned with the edges 3a of the cap 3.

Sur la figure 2, le récipient 101 est constitué d'un flacon de forme évasée vers le bas, dont la partie supérieure est munie d'une frette 102 surmontée d'un capuchon cylindrique circulaire 103. La base 109 de la frette 102 présente une section rectangulaire et se prolonge en son centre par une portion cylindrique circulaire 108 de même diamètre externe que le capuchon 103. Le capuchon 103 comporte une inscription 103a sur sa face cylindrique latérale externe et le flacon 101 comporte une inscription 101a sur l'une de ses faces latérales externes. Le capuchon 103 est positionné par rapport au récipient 101 de façon que les inscriptions 101a et 103a soient sensiblement alignées dans le sens de la hauteur.In FIG. 2, the container 101 consists of a bottle of flared shape at the bottom, the upper part of which has a hoop 102 surmounted by a circular cylindrical cap 103. The base 109 of the hoop 102 has a rectangular section and extends in its center by a circular cylindrical portion 108 of the same diameter external than the cap 103. The cap 103 has a inscription 103a on its external lateral cylindrical face and the bottle 101 has an inscription 101a on one of its external lateral faces. The cap 103 is positioned relative to the container 101 so that the inscriptions 101a and 103a are substantially aligned in the sense of height.

En se référant plus particulièrement à la figure 3, on constate que le récipient 1 comporte, à son sommet, un goulot saillant vers le haut 4, sur lequel est agrafé de manière connue en soi un corps de pompe 5 muni à son sommet d'un bouton-poussoir 6, pour constituer la tête de distribution pour le produit contenu dans le récipient 1.Referring more particularly to FIG. 3, it can be seen that the container 1 has, at its top, an upwardly projecting neck 4, on which is stapled in a manner known per se a pump body 5 provided at its top with a push button 6, to constitute the head of distribution for the product contained in the container 1.

La frette 2 précitée sert de cache-corps de pompe, une fois que le capuchon 3 est enlevé. La frette 2 comporte, à partir de sa base 9 à section carrée, un épaulement annulaire 7 s'étendant radialement vers l'axe A du récipient et une portion cylindrique circulaire supérieure 8, de plus petite section, qui vient envelopper le corps de pompe 5 précité. La frette métallique 2 est généralement collée au récipient 1 et au corps de pompe 5. The aforementioned hoop 2 serves as a pump body cover, once the cap 3 is removed. The hoop 2 comprises, from its base 9 to square section, an annular shoulder 7 extending radially towards the axis A of the container and an upper circular cylindrical portion 8, of smaller section, which envelops the pump body 5 cited above. The metallic hoop 2 is generally glued to the container 1 and to the pump body 5.

La partie supérieure du récipient 1 qui entoure le goulot 4 définit avec la base 9 de la frette 2 et l'épaulement annulaire 7 précité un logement annulaire intérieur 10, dans lequel est logé un aimant permanent annulaire 11. En se référant à la figure 5, on constate que l'aimant 11 comporte, sur sa face supérieure, deux paires de zones polaires diamétralement opposées, les zones polaires de chaque paire ayant la même aimantation nord (N) ou sud (S) et la polarité de chaque paire étant opposée. Ainsi, les zones polaires N et S sont régulièrement alternées autour de l'axe A du récipient. En particulier, chaque zone polaire est sensiblement située le long d'un côté de la base 9 à section carrée de la frette 2.The upper part of the container 1 which surrounds the neck 4 defines with the base 9 of the hoop 2 and the annular shoulder 7 above a inner annular housing 10, in which is housed a magnet annular permanent 11. Referring to FIG. 5, it can be seen that the magnet 11 has, on its upper face, two pairs of zones polar diametrically opposite, the polar zones of each pair having the same north (N) or south (S) magnetization and the polarity of each pair being opposite. Thus, the polar zones N and S are regularly alternating around the axis A of the container. In particular, each area polar is substantially located along one side of the base 9 to section fret square 2.

En revenant à la figure 3, on constate que le capuchon 3 est constitué de deux pièces métalliques emboítées l'une sur l'autre. La pièce métallique intérieure 13 présente une surface cylindrique circulaire interne qui se prolonge, à sa partie inférieure, par une collerette annulaire 13a, dont la périphérie externe est à profil carré et sert d'appui à une deuxième pièce métallique 14 à section carrée, qui vient coiffer la première pièce 13. Entre les deux pièces 13 et 14 est défini un espace annulaire 15, dans lequel est logé un autre aimant permanent annulaire 16, qui est fixé sur la collerette 13a de la pièce interne 13. Par exemple, l'aimant permanent 16 est fixé dans le logement 15 par coincement, à l'aide de quatre coins 17. L'aimant permanent 16 peut être identique à l'élément permanent 11. Toutefois, il est positionné dans le capuchon 3 de façon que ses zones polaires sur la face tournée vers le récipient ont une aimantation opposée à celle de la face en vis à vis de l'aimant permanent 11 lorsque le capuchon est dans sa position relative prédéterminée sur le récipient. En effet, sur la figure 4, on voit la face de l'aimant 16 qui est tournée en direction opposée au récipient, ce qui signifie qu'à la verticale d'une zone polaire S visible sur la figure 4 correspond une zone polaire N du côté tourné vers le récipient. Bien entendu, le capuchon 3 est en deux pièces 13, 14, pour permettre le montage de l'aimant permanent 16 à l'intérieur. Ici également, les zones polaires N et S de l'aimant permanent 16 sont situées sensiblement le long d'une face du capuchon 3.Returning to FIG. 3, it can be seen that the cap 3 is consisting of two metal parts fitted one on the other. The inner metal part 13 has a cylindrical surface internal circular which is extended at its lower part by a annular flange 13a, the external periphery of which has a square profile and serves as a support for a second metal part 14 with a square section, which comes to style the first part 13. Between the two parts 13 and 14 is defined an annular space 15, in which is housed another magnet permanent annular 16, which is fixed on the flange 13a of the part internal 13. For example, the permanent magnet 16 is fixed in the housing 15 by wedging, using four corners 17. The magnet permanent 16 can be identical to permanent element 11. However, it is positioned in the cap 3 so that its polar zones on the side facing the container have a magnetization opposite to that of the face opposite the permanent magnet 11 when the cap is in its predetermined relative position on the container. Indeed, on the Figure 4, we see the face of the magnet 16 which is turned towards opposite the container, which means that vertical to a polar area S visible in FIG. 4 corresponds to a polar region N on the turned side to the container. Of course, the cap 3 is in two parts 13, 14, to allow the mounting of the permanent magnet 16 inside. Here also, the polar zones N and S of the permanent magnet 16 are located substantially along one face of the cap 3.

En variante, comme représenté sur la figure 6, on pourrait remplacer l'aimant permanent 16 par une pluralité de pions 116 à aimantation permanente, qui correspondent respectivement à chaque zone polaire de l'aimant permanent 16 précité. Ces pions 116 peuvent être surmoulés dans une garniture en matière plastique 117 avant le montage dans le capuchon 3. De manière analogue, bien que non représenté, l'aimant permanent annulaire 11 peut également être remplacé par une pluralité de pions à aimantation permanente surmoulés dans une garniture plastique.Alternatively, as shown in Figure 6, one could replace the permanent magnet 16 with a plurality of pins 116 to permanent magnetization, which correspond respectively to each polar area of the aforementioned permanent magnet 16. These pawns 116 can be overmolded in a plastic lining 117 before mounting in the cap 3. Similarly, although not shown, the annular permanent magnet 11 can also be replaced by a plurality of permanently magnetized pins overmolded in a plastic packing.

On va maintenant brièvement décrire le fonctionnement de l'invention. Lorsque l'utilisateur a retiré le capuchon 3 du récipient 1 et qu'il a distribué une partie du produit contenu dans le récipient 1 à l'extérieur, via la tête de distribution 5, 6, il est nécessaire de remettre en place le capuchon 3, pour éviter toute pression intempestive et accidentelle du bouton-poussoir 6 actionnant la pompe du dispositif.We will now briefly describe the operation of the invention. When the user has removed the cap 3 from the container 1 and that he has distributed part of the product contained in container 1 to outside, via the dispensing head 5, 6, it is necessary to replace in place the cap 3, to avoid any untimely pressure and accidental push button 6 actuating the device pump.

Dans le cas de la figure 1, l'utilisateur peut remettre en place le capuchon 3 sur la frette 2, sans se soucier de l'alignement des arêtes respectives. Lors de la fermeture, le capuchon 3 est guidé par la surface cylindrique circulaire interne de sa pièce 13, qui vient glisser sur la surface cylindrique circulaire externe de la portion 8 de la frette 2. Lorsque la base 13a du capuchon 3 se rapproche suffisamment de l'épaulement 9 de la frette 2, les champs magnétiques engendrés par les champs permanents 11 et 16 interagissent entre eux. Dans un cas extrême, les zones polaires de chaque aimant qui sont en vis à vis sont de même polarité, et alors le capuchon 3 subit automatiquement un mouvement de rotation, du fait de la répulsion magnétique, mouvement de rotation qui est accentué par l'attraction des zones polaires de polarités opposées des deux aimants, qui se superposent progressivement, lors de la rotation du capuchon 3. Dans un autre cas extrême, le capuchon 3 est mis en place avec les zones polaires des deux aimants ayant des polarités opposées en vis à vis, de sorte qu'il ne se produit pas de rotation. Lorsque toutes les zones polaires des deux aimants se trouvent en face d'une zone polaire de polarité opposée, le capuchon 3 est dans une position stable par rapport au récipient 1, cette position stable ayant été prédéterminée de façon que les arêtes 3a du capuchon 3 soient alignées avec les arêtes 2a de l'embase 2. Simultanément, les aimants 11, 16 assurent le maintien du capuchon 3 sur le récipient 1. Il n'est donc pas nécessaire de prévoir de moyens de fixation complémentaires.In the case of Figure 1, the user can replace the cap 3 on hoop 2, regardless of the alignment of the edges respective. When closing, the cap 3 is guided by the internal circular cylindrical surface of its part 13, which comes to slide on the external circular cylindrical surface of the portion 8 of the hoop 2. When the base 13a of the cap 3 comes close enough to the shoulder 9 of the hoop 2, the magnetic fields generated by the permanent fields 11 and 16 interact with each other. In one case extreme, the polar zones of each magnet which are opposite are of the same polarity, and then the cap 3 automatically undergoes a rotational movement, due to magnetic repulsion, movement of rotation which is accentuated by the attraction of the polar zones of opposite polarities of the two magnets, which overlap gradually, during the rotation of the cap 3. In another case extreme, the cap 3 is put in place with the polar zones of the two magnets with opposite polarities facing each other, so that it does not no rotation occurs. When all the polar areas of the two magnets are located opposite a polar area of opposite polarity, the cap 3 is in a stable position relative to container 1, this stable position having been predetermined so that the edges 3a of the cap 3 are aligned with the edges 2a of the base 2. Simultaneously, the magnets 11, 16 maintain the cap 3 on container 1. It is therefore not necessary to provide means for additional fixing.

Dans le cas de la figure 2, le fonctionnement est le même, sauf qu'ici se sont les inscriptions 101a et 103a qui sont alignées par les aimants, au lieu des arêtes 2a et 3a précitées.In the case of FIG. 2, the operation is the same, except that here are the inscriptions 101a and 103a which are aligned by the magnets, instead of the aforementioned edges 2a and 3a.

Bien entendu, le nombre de pôles ou de zones polaires sur chaque aimant peut être modifié sans sortir du cadre de l'invention. Par exemple, il est possible de prévoir simplement deux zones polaires de polarités opposées et diamétralement opposées sur la face du même aimant. Dans le cas de plusieurs pions à aimantation permanente, il est possible de prévoir un nombre pair ou impair de pions.Of course, the number of poles or polar zones on each magnet can be changed without departing from the scope of the invention. Through example, it is possible to simply provide two polar zones of opposite and diametrically opposite polarities on the face of the same magnet. In the case of several permanent magnet pawns, it is possible to provide an even or odd number of pawns.

Bien entendu, plus les zones polaires sont étendues sur la périphérie du capuchon ou du récipient, plus le système de positionnement automatique s'effectuera rapidement.Of course, the more the polar zones are extended on the periphery cap or container, plus positioning system automatic will happen quickly.

A titre d'exemple, les aimants permanents peuvent être en néodyme-fer-bore.For example, the permanent magnets can be made of neodymium-iron-boron.

Bien que l'invention ait été décrite en liaison avec plusieurs variantes de réalisation, il est bien évident qu'elle n'y est nullement limitée et qu'elle comprend tous les équivalents techniques des moyens décrits et leurs combinaisons, si celles-ci entrent dans le cadre de l'invention.Although the invention has been described in connection with several variants, it is quite obvious that it is by no means limited and that it includes all the technical equivalents of the means described and their combinations, if these fall within the scope of the invention.
