Description

DISPOSITIF POUR L'ASSEMBLAGE D'UNE POMPE SUR LE COL D'UN RECIPIENT A COLLERETTE D'ACCROCHAGE DEVICE FOR ASSEMBLING A PUMP ON THE NECK OF A CONTAINER WITH A HANGING COLLAR
La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour l'assemblage d'une pompe sur le col d'un récipient à collerette d'accrochage.The present invention relates to a device for assembling a pump on the neck of a container with an attachment flange.
Il existe déjà des dispositifs d'assemblage tels que celui décrit dans le EP 290431 du type comprenant :There are already assembly devices such as that described in EP 290431 of the type comprising:
- une douille intérieure coiffant le col du récipient de façon étanche, constituée dans sa partie supérieure d'un collet de support de la pompe et, dans sa partie inférieure d'une embase de retenue portant au moins une ailette flexible d'ancrage qui s'étend au moins partiellement sous ladite collerette du récipient, et- an inner sleeve sealingly covers the neck of the container, constituted in its upper part by a pump support collar and, in its lower part by a retaining base carrying at least one flexible anchoring fin which s 'extends at least partially under said flange of the container, and
- une bague extérieure de verrouillage destinée à être emmanchée co-axialement sur ladite douille en assurant, par serrage radial, la mise en appui forcé d'au moins l'extrémité libre de ladite ailette contre le col du récipient.- An outer locking ring intended to be fitted co-axially on said sleeve while ensuring, by radial tightening, the forced pressing of at least the free end of said fin against the neck of the container.
Cependant, de tels dispositifs n'offrent pas toujours une tenue mécanique suffisante en particulier lorsqu'il sont soumis à des efforts de traction dirigés vers le haut. En outre, ces dispositifs ne sont pas conçus pour être amovibles et permettre une recharge du récipient.However, such devices do not always offer sufficient mechanical strength, in particular when they are subjected to upward directed tensile forces. In addition, these devices are not designed to be removable and allow refilling of the container.
Au surplus, la partie inférieure de la bague est destinée à venir directement en regard de la paroi du récipient. Or, compte tenu de la variété des profils de cols, il n'est pas toujours possible d'assurer une adaptation et une coopération satisfaisante entre la bague et le col.In addition, the lower part of the ring is intended to come directly opposite the wall of the container. However, given the variety of neck profiles, it is not always possible to ensure satisfactory adaptation and cooperation between the ring and the neck.
En particulier, il apparaît alors souvent une zone de discontinuité entre le pourtour inférieur du dispositif et le col du récipient, ce qui nuit tant à l'aspect esthétique qu'à l'inviolabilité et à l'étanchéité. La présente invention a pour but de résoudre ces problèmes techniques de manière satisfaisante.In particular, there often appears a discontinuity zone between the lower periphery of the device and the neck of the container, which is detrimental both to the aesthetic appearance and to the inviolability and sealing. The present invention aims to solve these technical problems satisfactorily.
Ce but est atteint conformément à l'invention au moyen d'un dispositif d'assemblage du type précédent caractérisé en ce que l'ailette flexible d'ancrage s'étend à l'état libre vers le haut avec une légère inclinaison divergente à partir d'un épaulement ménagé sur l'embase. Selon une caractéristique avantageuse, ladite douille intérieure comporte une couronne supérieure, coaxiale audit collet, pourvue d'organes d'encliquetage destinés à coopérer avec des organes complémentaires réalisés sur la paroi interne de la bague. Selon un mode de réalisation spécifique, lesdits organes d'encliquetage de la couronne sont constitués d'une série de dents élastiquement déformables.This object is achieved in accordance with the invention by means of an assembly device of the previous type characterized in that the flexible anchoring fin extends in the free state upwards with a slight diverging inclination from a shoulder provided on the base. According to an advantageous characteristic, said inner sleeve comprises an upper ring, coaxial with said collar, provided with latching members intended to cooperate with complementary members produced on the internal wall of the ring. According to a specific embodiment, said snap-fastening members of the crown consist of a series of elastically deformable teeth.
Selon une variante, lesdits organes d'encliquetage complémentaires de la bague sont constitués de cavités dans lesquelles lesdites dents en regard sont susceptibles de venir se loger.According to a variant, said complementary snap-fastening members of the ring consist of cavities in which said facing teeth are capable of being received.
De préférence, lesdites cavités sont réparties en deux séries superposées, la série basse correspondant à une position de prémontage et la série haute à la position de verrouillage.Preferably, said cavities are divided into two superimposed series, the low series corresponding to a pre-assembly position and the high series to the locking position.
Le cas échéant, les deux séries de cavités sont séparées par une nervure à flancs inclinés assurant le guidage des dents.Where appropriate, the two series of cavities are separated by a rib with inclined sides ensuring the guiding of the teeth.
Selon un autre mode de réalisation, ladite douille comporte un manchon autojointant solidaire du collet et destiné à être engagé dans le col du récipient au contact de sa paroi interne.According to another embodiment, said sleeve comprises a self-sealing sleeve integral with the collar and intended to be engaged in the neck of the container in contact with its internal wall.
Selon une autre caractéristique avantageuse, la paroi interne de ladite bague a un bord inférieur biseauté.According to another advantageous characteristic, the internal wall of said ring has a beveled lower edge.
Selon encore une autre caractéristique, le dispositif comporte, en outre une frette d'habillage de ladite bague.According to yet another characteristic, the device further comprises a hoop covering said ring.
Le dispositif de l'invention se monte et se verrouille de façon simple et rapide. Il permet d'obtenir un assemblage tout à la fois résistant, étanche et facilement amovible, ce qui autorise une éventuelle recharge du récipient.The device of the invention can be assembled and locked quickly and easily. It makes it possible to obtain an assembly which is at the same time resistant, waterproof and easily removable, which allows possible refilling of the container.
En outre, ce dispositif peut facilement recevoir un capot et s'adapte à de nombreuses formes de pompes et de récipients.In addition, this device can easily receive a cover and adapts to many forms of pumps and containers.
L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui va suivre en référence aux dessins sur lesquels :The invention will be better understood on reading the description which follows with reference to the drawings in which:
- la figure 1 représente une vue en perspective éclatée d'un mode de réalisation du dispositif de l'invention ;- Figure 1 shows an exploded perspective view of an embodiment of the device of the invention;
- la figure 2 représente une vue en coupe du mode de réalisation de la figure 1 dans la phase initiale du montage ; - la figure 3 représente une vue en coupe du mode de réalisation de la figure 1 dans la phase finale du montage. Le dispositif représenté sur les figures est destiné à assurer l'assemblage d'une pompe P sur le col C d'un récipient R (non représenté en entier), pourvu d'une collerette d'accrochage A.- Figure 2 shows a sectional view of the embodiment of Figure 1 in the initial phase of assembly; - Figure 3 shows a sectional view of the embodiment of Figure 1 in the final phase of assembly. The device shown in the figures is intended to ensure the assembly of a pump P on the neck C of a container R (not shown in full), provided with a hooking flange A.
Ce dispositif comprend, d'une part, une douille intérieure 1 coiffant le col C de façon étanche et, d'autre part, une bague extérieure 2 de verrouillage coopérant avec ladite douille pour assurer la fixation étanche de la pompe P sur le col C. La bague 2 est ici habillée d'une frette 3 réalisée, par exemple, en aluminium.This device comprises, on the one hand, an inner sleeve 1 covering the neck C in a sealed manner and, on the other hand, an outer locking ring 2 cooperating with said sleeve to ensure the tight fixing of the pump P on the neck C The ring 2 is here dressed with a hoop 3 made, for example, of aluminum.
L'ensemble du dispositif possède une enveloppe généralement cylindrique qui a ici une section sensiblement carrée à coins arrondis, mais il est tout à fait possible, selon une variante, de réaliser le dispositif avec une section circulaire.The entire device has a generally cylindrical envelope which here has a substantially square section with rounded corners, but it is entirely possible, according to a variant, to produce the device with a circular section.
La douille 1 est constituée, quant à elle, dans sa partie supérieure, d'un collet 11 de support de la pompe P, et dans sa partie inférieure, d'une embase de retenue 12.The socket 1 consists, in turn, in its upper part, of a collar 11 for supporting the pump P, and in its lower part, of a retaining base 12.
Le collet 11 est adapté au corps de la pompe P et possède un orifice lia destiné à recevoir le tube gicleur T de la pompe P. Le tube gicleur T est équipé d'un bouton-poussoir B pourvu d'une buse b et, éventuellement, d'une garniture B'. Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, la partie supérieure du corps de pompe est fixée à l'intérieur du collet 11, par exemple, par encliquetage ou serrage.The collar 11 is adapted to the body of the pump P and has an orifice 11a intended to receive the nozzle tube T of the pump P. The nozzle tube T is fitted with a push button B provided with a nozzle b and, optionally , of a trim B '. In the embodiment shown, the upper part of the pump body is fixed inside the collar 11, for example, by snap-fastening or tightening.
Il est toutefois possible de prévoir une variante dans laquelle le corps de pompe serait monté par l'extérieur du collet 11. La douille 1 comporte aussi un manchon 13 autojointantIt is however possible to provide a variant in which the pump body would be mounted from the outside of the collar 11. The sleeve 1 also includes a self-sealing sleeve 13
(visible sur les figures 2 et 3) solidaire du collet 11 et destiné à être engagé dans le col C au contact de sa paroi interne.(visible in Figures 2 and 3) integral with the collar 11 and intended to be engaged in the neck C in contact with its internal wall.
L'embase de retenue 12 porte au moins une, et ici quatre, ailettes flexibles 10 opposées deux à deux, assurant l'ancrage de l'embase sur le col C.The retaining base 12 carries at least one, and here four, flexible fins 10 opposite two by two, ensuring the anchoring of the base on the neck C.
Les ailettes 10 s'étendent, au moins partiellement, sous la collerette A du récipient R et vers le haut à partir d'un épaulement 14 ménagé sur l'embase 12.The fins 10 extend, at least partially, under the flange A of the container R and upwards from a shoulder 14 formed on the base 12.
A l'état libre, comme représenté en position de prémontage sur la figure 2, les ailettes 10 présentent une légère inclinaison divergente et leur extrémité 10a est donc orientée radialement vers l'extérieur. L'extrémité 10a a un profil extérieur curviligne et un profil intérieur à bord droit, de façon à favoriser, d'une part, le guidage du bord inférieur biseauté 20 de la bague 2, et, l'ancrage sous la face inférieure de la collerette d'accrochage A du récipient R, d'autre part. La jonction entre la base de l'ailette 10 et l'épaulement 14 forme une articulation permettant le débattement élastique de ladite ailette entre sa position de repos, à l'état libre (figure 2), et sa position d'ancrage à l'état contraint (figure 3).In the free state, as shown in the pre-assembly position in FIG. 2, the fins 10 have a slight diverging inclination and their end 10a is therefore oriented radially towards the outside. The end 10a has a curvilinear outer profile and an inner profile with a straight edge, so as to favor, on the one hand, the guiding of the bevelled lower edge 20 of the ring 2, and, the anchoring under the underside of the attachment collar A of container R, on the other hand. The junction between the base of the fin 10 and the shoulder 14 forms an articulation allowing the elastic movement of said fin between its rest position, in the free state (FIG. 2), and its position for anchoring to the constrained state (Figure 3).
De préférence, cette jonction est réalisée avec un rétreint 10b garantissant la souplesse de l'ailette 10.Preferably, this junction is made with a constriction 10b guaranteeing the flexibility of the fin 10.
La bague de verrouillage 2 est destinée à être emmanchée coaxialement sur la douille 1 en assurant par serrage radial, la mise en appui forcé et le blocage d'au moins les extrémités libres 10a des ailettes 10 contre le col C, sous la collerette A. Le bord et la face supérieure plane de l'extrémité 10a des ailettes qui viennent ainsi en appui vers le haut contre la face inférieure de la collerette d'accrochage A, à profil éventuellement complémentaire, interdisent toute séparation du dispositif par traction axiale, tout en conservant, pour la variante cylindrique, un degré de liberté en rotation autour du col C.The locking ring 2 is intended to be fitted coaxially on the sleeve 1 by ensuring, by radial tightening, the forced abutment and the blocking of at least the free ends 10a of the fins 10 against the neck C, under the collar A. The edge and the flat upper face of the end 10a of the fins which thus come up against the lower face of the attachment flange A, with a possibly complementary profile, prevent any separation of the device by axial traction, while retaining, for the cylindrical variant, a degree of freedom in rotation around the neck C.
La douille 1 comporte, aussi, une couronne supérieure 15, coaxiale au collet 11 et pourvue d'organes d'encliquetage destinés à coopérer avec des organes complémentaires réalisés sur la paroi interne de la bague 2. Ces organes d'encliquetage sont, dans le mode de réalisation représenté, constitués d'une série de dents élastiquement déformables 16, destinées à venir se loger dans des cavités correspondantes ménagées en regard sur la bague 2.The sleeve 1 also comprises an upper ring 15, coaxial with the collar 11 and provided with snap-fastening members intended to cooperate with complementary members produced on the internal wall of the ring 2. These snap-fastening members are, in the embodiment shown, consisting of a series of elastically deformable teeth 16, intended to be housed in corresponding cavities arranged opposite the ring 2.
Ces cavités sont réparties en deux séries 21,22 superposées correspondant respectivement, pour la série basse 21, à la position de prémontage (figure 2) et, pour la série haute 22, à la position de verrouillage (figure 3).These cavities are divided into two superimposed series 21, 22 corresponding respectively, for the low series 21, to the pre-assembly position (FIG. 2) and, for the high series 22, to the locking position (FIG. 3).
Les deux séries de cavités 21,22 sont séparées par une nervure 23 à flancs inclinés coopérant, par guidage avec effet de came, dans le sens de la montée avec une face supérieure inclinée 16a ménagée sur les dents 16 et dans le sens de la descente avec le pourtour extérieur courbe 16b desdites dents.The two series of cavities 21, 22 are separated by a rib 23 with inclined flanks cooperating, by guiding with cam effect, in the direction of ascent with an inclined upper face 16a formed on the teeth 16 and in the direction of descent with the curved outer periphery 16b of said teeth.
L'encliquetage des dents 16 dans les cavités est réversible, et garantit, pour la série haute 22, la bonne tenue de l'assemblage tout en autorisant un démontage aisé par passage dans la série basse 21 et libération des ailettes 10. The snap-fastening of the teeth 16 in the cavities is reversible, and guarantees, for the high series 22, the good behavior of the assembly while allowing easy disassembly by passage through the low series 21 and release of the fins 10.
