Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the packaging and distribution of products fluids, in particular of cosmetic products.
  • the invention relates in particular to packaging and distribution methods according to which the product is pumped from a container by means of a pump arranged outside the container. More generally, the invention relates to any type of packaging requiring for the distribution of the product it contains, an air intake which does not not deteriorate the overall tightness of the container.
  • testers In the field of perfumery for example, it is common to have on the product outlets, testers allowing customers to try the product before you buy it. Most often, these testers are made up of same models as those intended for sale. The limited volume of these testers implies that they must be renewed frequently. In addition, the assessment of fragrances by customers, may be distorted by the charged atmosphere of a mixture vapors which may emanate from the various perfume bottles present on the test point. In addition, the disappearance of testers on these test points is relatively common. Finally, the designers of such outlets are limited in their creativity by the obligation to provide a very specific location in front for the tester (s).
  • the pump in order to solve all the problems mentioned previously, relocate the pump in relation to the containers containing the perfumes.
  • the pump associated with its actuating member, can be fixedly mounted on a display, and connected via a conduit, more or less very long, to the container containing the perfume, which is located in a furniture not accessible to customers.
  • the saving of space on the displays is important.
  • the containers containing the perfumes can be of larger capacity.
  • the vapors from the bottles are confined in a closed cabinet. In short, the the benefits are many.
  • the pump In manually operated pumps commonly used, the pump is airtight and the air intake takes place in the low position of the pump stroke. A such air intake is necessary to compensate for the volume of product dispensed, otherwise, the vacuum that would settle inside the container could prevent the pump from working. So when the pump is mounted in the container, the return of air to the container is done without any problem at each actuation of the pump. Such an air intake prevents compounds volatile fragrance to evaporate in too high a proportion, thus preserving all the sensory qualities of the perfume.
  • an element intended to be mounted in an air return passage of a container said element being, at less partially, elastically deformable and comprising a member opening / closing which, in a functional configuration of the element, when the vacuum inside the container is less than a value predetermined, is in tight contact with a seat formed inside the container, around at least part of the return air passage, said member being able to move away from said seat when said predetermined value is reached, so as to allow the return of air inside the container, and, by recall elastic, to resume its position in sealed contact on said seat when the vacuum inside the container falls below said value predetermined, the functional configuration of the element being obtained by a non-elastically reversible modification of the latter during assembly.
  • a “non-elastically reversible" modification means a modification which does not result from simple elastic deformation of the element, so that the modified form of the element is retained even when the constraint which caused the said modification ceases.
  • the opening / closing member is supported elastic on the seat formed around the return air passage, thus guaranteeing a good seal, in particular to the volatile compounds contained in the container.
  • depression reaches a certain threshold, it becomes sufficient to overcome the elasticity of the element, and force the part that seals to take off from the seat, so as to allow air to enter the container.
  • the opening / closing device returns automatically, by elastic return, in sealed contact on the seat, thus restoring perfect sealing of the packaging equipped with such a air intake.
  • the communication of the interior of the container with outside is done selectively, only at times when an entry air is required.
  • the air intake inside the container can be done via an annular passage continuous formed all around the element, between an outer edge of the latter and a inner edge of the passage in which the element is inserted.
  • it can be formed of a plurality of discontinuous passages spaced regularly at the periphery of said element.
  • the opening / closing member consists of a skirt, the setting in functional configuration of the element being obtained by turning over at less partial of said skirt.
  • the skirt is formed substantially in the extension of a portion of said element, said portion being in the assembled position of the element, at least partially located inside the container, the setting functional configuration of said element being obtained by inversion of said skirt towards the seat, on said portion, an area of said skirt as well returned being, when the vacuum inside the container is less than said predetermined value, in sealed contact on the seat.
  • the shape of the skirt gives it flexibility such that there is a large choice of elastically deformable materials to make it. It is possible in effect of using rubbers such as nitriles or butyls, the compatibility with products such as perfumes, is not a problem. Finally, by giving the skirt portion intended to be turned over, a length one slightly larger than necessary, some variations are allowed around the reversal zone, which variations will play on the support of the organ opening / closing on his seat, without preventing him from playing his role in a satisfying manner.
  • the area provided for sealing is an area of the skirt located at a distance from the free edge of said skirt, the seat being provided with a rim on which the sealing zone of the skirt comes into sealing contact.
  • the sealing zone is located at a distance from the free edge of the skirt included between 0.5 and 3 mm. This allows even more variations around the area which variations will play on the area of the skirt which will be contact with the ledge, without however preventing it from playing its role so satisfactory.
  • the seat then consists of a rim formed by the container at vicinity of the return air passage and on which the sealing zone of the skirt is applied tightly.
  • the sealing zone consists of a lip formed by a free edge of the skirt.
  • the skirt can be turned around around a folding zone defined by an annular groove formed on the surface interior of said skirt.
  • the throat promotes folding. In addition, it allows to prevent the folded portion from unfolding due to the elasticity of the material partially, which would be detrimental to the seal produced.
  • the annular groove can be V-shaped or U-shaped. Still other profiles can be used.
  • the element can be formed in its entirety from elastomeric material. Alternatively, only the skirt intended to be turned over is produced in elastomer.
  • the rest including the restraint, as well as the portion on which the skirt is turned over, can be made of non-elastomeric material, all of which can be obtained by bi-injection or overmolding.
  • the element according to the invention is made in whole or in part, in a elastomeric material chosen from thermoplastic elastomers or cross-linked.

  • the difference in diameter between the retaining means and the first portion of the air return passage allows make an annular space allowing air passage when the organ opening / closing is not in tight contact on its seat.
  • the air passage (s) can be made by one or more grooves.
  • the first portion of the return air passage is separated from the second by a shoulder intended to be engaged with a corresponding shoulder formed by said element, one or more grooves being formed at least on the surface of one or the other of said shoulders of so as to form at least one air passage towards the container the member opening / closing is not in watertight engagement on the seat.
  • the second portion of the recovery passage of air is extended from a rim towards the inside of the container, a sealing zone of said opening / closing member being able to be applied in a sealed manner on said ledge.
  • the element according to the invention is in its part located opposite the second portion of the return air passage, dimensioned so as to allow the air to pass through said second portion when said opening / closing member is not not in watertight engagement on the seat.
  • the part of the element located opposite the second portion of the air intake passage occupies substantially the entire passage when the opening / closing member is in waterproof support on its seat, the elongation of this part, in response to a depression inside the container, causing a reduction in its section, sufficient to allow the passage of air necessary for the return of the vacuum in below said predetermined value.
  • the grooves made on the shoulder separating the first and second portions of the recovery passage of air extend axially on the lateral edge of the first and / or the second portion of the return air passage.
  • the thickness of the retaining means is preferably at most equal to the depth of said first portion of the return air passage.
  • said retaining means do not generate extra thickness compared to the surface of the capsule.
  • the capsule is capable of ensuring the communication of the container with a pump arranged outside the container, via at least one conduit disposed between the container and said pump.
