Abstract
Description
La présente invention a trait à un dispositif pour la distribution conjointe de deux produits, conditionnés séparément dans des conditionnements à parois souples sous forme de sachets. Un tel dispositif est particulièrement adapté à la distribution de produits en vue de l'obtention d'une composition capillaire, notamment à base d'un colorant et d'un oxydant.The present invention relates to a device for the joint distribution of two products, packaged separately in flexible-walled packages in the form of sachets. Such a device is particularly suitable for dispensing products in order to obtain a hair composition, in particular based on a dye and an oxidant.
Dans le domaine des produits capillaires, on connaît un dispositif pour la distribution de deux produits, comportant deux compartiments reliés, du document
Dans le domaine de la coloration capillaire, notamment de la coloration d'oxydation impliquant le mélange extemporané d'un colorant et d'un oxydant, les deux produits à mélanger sont conditionnés soit dans un tube pour l'un (colorant) et dans un flacon pour l'autre (oxydant), soit dans un tube pour les deux, ou soit dans un flacon pour les deux.In the field of hair dyeing, especially oxidation dyeing involving the extemporaneous mixing of a dye and an oxidant, the two products to be mixed are packaged either in a tube for one (dye) and in one vial for the other (oxidant), either in a tube for both, or in a vial for both.
Des systèmes plus sophistiqués, mais qui sont maintenant de moins en moins utilisés, permettent, de manière plus ou moins automatique, par un simple geste de rotation ou d'enfoncement, d'assurer le mélange des deux produits conditionnés dans des flacons séparés, en vue de leur application sur les cheveux.More sophisticated systems, but which are now less and less used, allow, more or less automatically, by a simple gesture of rotation or depression, to ensure the mixing of the two packaged products in separate bottles, view of their application on the hair.
Tous ces systèmes ne sont pas sans présenter d'inconvénients. Pour les uns, le coût de revient est trop important, et donc, incompatible avec les impératifs imposés par les grands circuits de distribution. En outre, la fiabilité n'est pas toujours au rendez-vous. Pour les autres, la gestuelle est compliquée. Pour d'autres encore, il est difficile de distribuer les deux produits selon un rapport prédéterminé, de sorte que, le résultat, en terme de couleur obtenue, ne correspond pas à ce qui était escompté.All these systems are not without disadvantages. For some, the cost is too important, and therefore incompatible with the requirements imposed by large distribution channels. In addition, reliability is not always at the rendezvous. For others, the gesture is complicated. For still others, it is difficult to distribute the two products in a predetermined ratio, so that the result, in terms of color obtained, does not correspond to what was expected.
La demande de brevet
Le brevet
Par ailleurs, selon les deux documents qui viennent d'être discutés ci-avant, il n'y a pas de moyens de fixation proprement dit, le maintien du sachet ou du tube en position fixe étant assuré par les moyens de pressurisation eux mêmes.Moreover, according to the two documents just discussed above, there is no actual fastening means, maintaining the bag or tube in a fixed position being provided by the pressurizing means themselves.
Aussi, est-ce un des objets de l'invention que de fournir un dispositif résolvant en tout ou partie, les problèmes discutés ci-avant en référence aux dispositifs conventionnels.Also, is it an object of the invention to provide a device resolving all or part of the problems discussed above with reference to conventional devices.
C'est en particulier un objet de l'invention que de fournir un tel dispositif qui soit simple d'utilisation, et de coût de revient avantageux.It is in particular an object of the invention to provide such a device which is easy to use and cost-effective.
C'est un autre objet de l'invention que de fournir un dispositif permettant la distribution conjointe de deux produits conditionnés séparément, et ce selon un rapport prédéterminé de l'un des produits par rapport à l'autre.It is another object of the invention to provide a device for jointly dispensing two separately packaged products in a predetermined ratio of one product to the other.
C'est encore un autre objet de l'invention que de réaliser un tel dispositif qui permette la distribution conjointe de deux produits, de manière suffisamment localisée pour que les deux produits soient amenés au contact l'un de l'autre directement à l'endroit où ils sont appliqués.It is yet another object of the invention to provide such a device which allows the joint distribution of two products, sufficiently localized for the two products to be brought into contact with each other directly to the where they are applied.
D'autres objets encore apparaîtront dans la description détaillée qui suit.Still other objects will appear in the following detailed description.
Selon l'invention, ces objets sont atteints en réalisant un dispositif pour la distribution simultanée d'au moins deux produits, conditionnés séparément dans des premier et second sachets à parois souples, tel que défini par la revendication 1.According to the invention, these objects are achieved by providing a device for the simultaneous dispensing of at least two products, packaged separately in first and second soft-walled bags, as defined by
Le fait que les deux produits puissent être conditionnés sous forme de sachets permet de réduire de manière sensible le coût attaché à leur conditionnement. En fonction notamment de la viscosité du produit, et de la taille des orifices de sortie respectifs des sachets, il est possible, en configurant de manière adéquate les moyens de pressurisation, d'obtenir un rapport de distribution des deux produits, aussi proche que possible du rapport souhaité. En outre, la gestuelle est simple.The fact that both products can be packaged in sachets significantly reduces the cost attached to their packaging. Depending in particular on the viscosity of the product, and the size of the respective outlets of the bags, it is possible, by appropriately configuring the pressurizing means, to obtain a distribution ratio of the two products, as close as possible the desired report. In addition, the gesture is simple.
Les moyens de pressurisation sont constitués d'au moins deux plaques, chaque plaque étant articulée par rapport aux moyens de fixation via un axe d'articulation. Cet axe est de préférence sensiblement perpendiculaire à un axe longitudinal X du dispositif. Une telle configuration permet l'utilisation du dispositif pour des sachets de volume relativement importants, et en particulier pour des sachets dont l'épaisseur maximale peut être de l'ordre du centimètre ou plus.The pressurizing means consist of at least two plates, each plate being articulated relative to the fixing means via a hinge pin. This axis is preferably substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis X of the device. Such a configuration allows the use of the device for relatively large volume bags, and in particular for bags whose maximum thickness can be of the order of a centimeter or more.
Avantageusement, les deux plaques sont disposées l'une en regard de l'autre, chaque plaque étant délimitée par deux bords longitudinaux, les bords longitudinaux de la première plaque étant, sur la totalité de leur longueur, à distance variable des bords correspondants de la seconde plaque. Cette caractéristique participe à la capacité du dispositif à être utilisé pour des sachets de plus grande contenance. Elle participe également à la pressurisation identique des deux sachets, de manière en favoriser la distribution de leurs contenus respectifs selon un rapport prédéterminé.Advantageously, the two plates are arranged facing one another, each plate being delimited by two longitudinal edges, the longitudinal edges of the first plate being, over their entire length, variable distance from the corresponding edges of the second plate. This feature contributes to the ability of the device to be used for larger bags. It also participates in the same pressurization of the two bags, so as to promote the distribution of their respective contents according to a predetermined ratio.
Chaque plaque comprend une première extrémité située au voisinage des orifices de sortie, et une seconde extrémité opposée à la première, ladite première extrémité étant, de préférence, adjacente à l'axe d'articulation.Each plate comprises a first end located in the vicinity of the outlet orifices, and a second end opposite the first end, said first end preferably being adjacent to the axis of articulation.
De préférence, les sachets sont aptes à être ouverts par découpe, déchirure, ou rupture d'une portion d'extrémité desdits sachets.Preferably, the bags are able to be opened by cutting, tearing, or breaking an end portion of said bags.
De préférence, les plaques sont disposées de manière symétrique de part et d'autre d'un plan moyen situé à l'interface entre les deux sachets superposés qu'elles encadrent, une première extrémité desdites plaques, située au voisinage desdits orifices de sortie, étant couplée aux moyens de fixation via un axe d'articulation, une seconde extrémité desdites plaques, opposée à la première étant libre de sorte que le rapprochement mutuel des seconde extrémités desdites plaques provoque une pressurisation identique desdits sachets.Preferably, the plates are arranged symmetrically on either side of a mean plane situated at the interface between the two superimposed sachets which they frame, a first end of said plates situated in the vicinity of said outlet orifices, being coupled to the fastening means via a hinge pin, a second end of said plates, opposite to the first being free so that the mutual approximation of the second ends of said plates causes an identical pressurization of said bags.
Une telle structure avantageuse, à deux plaques identiques maintenues de manière symétrique de part et d'autre de l'empilement des deux sachets permet, pour des produits de viscosités identiques, et pour des orifices de sortie de sections identiques de distribuer les deux produits selon un rapport qui peut être de 1:1. Si l'on souhaite un rapport différent, il suffit de jouer sur la viscosité relative des deux produits, et/ou sur les sections relatives des orifices de sortie des sachets.Such an advantageous structure, with two identical plates symmetrically maintained on either side of the stack of the two bags, for products of identical viscosities, and for outlet orifices of identical sections, to distribute the two products according to one another. a ratio that can be 1: 1. If you want a different ratio, just play on the relative viscosity of the two products, and / or on the relative sections of the outlets of the bags.
Une telle symétrie, garant d'une pressurisation identique des sachets peut également être obtenue avec plus de deux sachets. A cet effet, il est possible de prévoir un troisième sachet, disposé entre les deux premiers, et contenant par exemple un parfum. Un tel troisième sachet pourrait être de volume sensiblement plus faible, et comporterait un orifice de sortie de section plus faible que la section des orifices de sortie des deux autres sachets.Such symmetry, guaranteeing the same pressurization of the bags can also be obtained with more than two bags. For this purpose, it is possible to provide a third bag, disposed between the first two, and containing for example a perfume. Such a third bag could be of substantially volume lower, and have an outlet section smaller than the section of the outlets of the other two bags.
Avantageusement, les deux plaques sont obtenues à partir de deux pièces moulées identiques, notamment en polypropylène.Advantageously, the two plates are obtained from two identical molded parts, in particular polypropylene.
De préférence, le dispositif est configuré de manière à pouvoir reposer librement sur un support sensiblement horizontal avec lesdits orifices de sortie à distance dudit support. Ainsi, lorsque le dispositif repose ainsi sur un tel support, les produits ne peuvent pas s'écouler de manière intempestive.Preferably, the device is configured to be able to rest freely on a substantially horizontal support with said outlets remote from said support. Thus, when the device thus rests on such a support, the products can not flow unintentionally.
De manière optimale, le dispositif est configuré de manière à pouvoir reposer sensiblement à la verticale sur ledit support. Une telle configuration peut être obtenue en faisant reposer le dispositif sur les extrémités libres des plaques de pressurisation, lesquelles agissent à la manière de pieds.Optimally, the device is configured to be able to rest substantially vertically on said support. Such a configuration can be achieved by resting the device on the free ends of the pressurizing plates, which act as feet.
Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, le dispositif comporte :
- i) un premier élément comprenant une première partie de fixation et une première plaque de pressurisation, mobile par rapport à la première partie de fixation selon une direction transversale à un plan moyen de ladite première plaque ;
- ii) un second élément comprenant une seconde partie de fixation et une seconde plaque de pressurisation, mobile par rapport à la seconde partie de fixation selon une direction transversale à un plan moyen de ladite seconde plaque ; et
- iii) des moyens d'accrochage pour maintenir lesdits premier et second sachets en position superposée entre lesdits premier et second éléments, une face principale du premier sachet étant, au moins en partie, en regard d'une face interne de la première plaque de pressurisation, une face principale du second sachet, située à l'opposé de ladite face principale du premier sachet étant, au moins en partie, en regard d'une face interne de la seconde plaque de pressurisation.
- i) a first member comprising a first fixing portion and a first pressurizing plate, movable relative to the first fixing portion in a direction transverse to an average plane of said first plate;
- ii) a second member comprising a second fixing portion and a second pressurizing plate, movable relative to the second fixing portion in a direction transverse to an average plane of said second plate; and
- iii) hooking means for holding said first and second bags in superposed position between said first and second elements, a main face of the first bag being, at least in part, facing an inner face of the first pressurizing plate; , a main face of the second bag, located opposite said main face of the first bag being, at least in part, facing an inner face of the second pressurizing plate.
De préférence, en position montée des sachets entre les premier et second éléments, une portion d'extrémité desdits sachets se prolonge au delà desdites première et seconde parties de fixation de manière à en permettre la déchirure, découpe ou rupture. Ainsi, l'ouverture des sachets peut être réalisée seulement après positionnement des sachets sur le dispositif, évitant ainsi toute sortie de l'un et/ou l'autre des produits lors de la mise en place des sachets.Preferably, in the mounted position of the bags between the first and second elements, an end portion of said pouches extends beyond said first and second fastening portions so as to allow tearing, cutting or breaking. Thus, the opening of the bags can be performed only after positioning the bags on the device, thus avoiding any output of one and / or the other of the products during the introduction of the bags.
L'ouverture des sachets peut se faire à la main, en en déchirant les portions d'extrémités. Alternativement, elle peut requérir l'utilisation d'un outil tel qu'une paire de ciseaux.The opening of the bags can be done by hand, by tearing the end portions. Alternatively, it may require the use of a tool such as a pair of scissors.
En position montée du dispositif, lesdites première et seconde parties de fixation peuvent former un embout orienté selon un axe X du dispositif, et permettant l'application localisée des deux produits. Ainsi, l'embout permet la sortie des produits de manière côte à côte, leur mise en contact se produisant directement à l'endroit où ils sont appliqués.In the mounted position of the device, said first and second attachment portions may form a tip oriented along an axis X of the device, and allowing the localized application of the two products. Thus, the tip allows the output of the products side by side, putting them in contact directly to the place where they are applied.
L'une et/ou l'autre desdites première et seconde parties de fixation peut(vent) former sur au moins une partie de la longueur de l'embout, un renflement axial, chacun desdits sachets délimitant un canal de sortie débouchant d'une part sur ledit orifice de sortie, et d'autre part sur une portion de plus grande largeur formant réservoir, le (ou les) renflement(s) axial(aux), facilitant la communication entre les orifices de sortie des sachets, et leur réservoirs respectifs, via leurs canaux de sortie respectifs.One and / or the other of said first and second attachment portions can (wind) form on at least a part of the length of the endpiece, an axial bulge, each of said bags delimiting an outlet channel leading to a part on said outlet orifice, and secondly on a portion of greater width forming a reservoir, the (or) bulge (s) axial (aux), facilitating communication between the outlet ports of the bags, and their reservoirs respective channels via their respective output channels.
En position montée du dispositif, lesdites première et seconde plaques de pressurisation sont, de préférence, aptes à pivoter par rapport auxdites première et seconde parties de fixation, respectivement, autour d'une zone d'articulation, notamment sous forme d'une charnière film, orientée de façon sensiblement perpendiculaire à un axe longitudinal X du dispositif. Cette caractéristique facilite l'exercice d'une pression identique sur les deux sachets.In the mounted position of the device, said first and second pressurization plates are preferably pivotable relative to said first and second fixing portions, respectively, around a hinge zone, in particular in the form of a film hinge. , oriented substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis X of the device. This feature facilitates the exercise of the same pressure on both bags.
Les zones d'articulation des premier et second éléments peuvent être délimitées, selon la perpendiculaire à l'axe X, par des première extrémités de deux découpes s'étendant obliquement jusqu'à des seconde extrémités débouchant sur des bords longitudinaux respectifs desdits premier et second éléments.The articulation zones of the first and second elements may be delimited, according to the perpendicular to the X axis, by first ends of two cutouts extending obliquely to second ends opening on respective longitudinal edges of said first and second members.
Les moyens d'accrochage peuvent assurer un montage réversible des sachets sur le dispositif. Ainsi, un tel accrochage peut être réalisé par vissage ou par encliquetage réversible. Dans ce cas, après distribution de leur contenu, les deux sachets peuvent être enlevés. Le dispositif peut être alors passé sous l'eau du robinet pour être nettoyé, puis conservé pour une nouvelle utilisation. Dans ce cas de figure, d'un point de vue commercial, il est possible de prévoir la commercialisation des sachets de manière indépendante de celle du reste du dispositif.The attachment means can provide a reversible mounting of the bags on the device. Thus, such a coupling can be achieved by screwing or reversible latching. In this case, after distribution of their contents, the two bags can be removed. The device can then be passed under tap water for cleaning and then kept for further use. In this case, from a commercial point of view, it is possible to provide for the marketing of the bags independently of that of the rest of the device.
Alternativement, les moyens d'accrochage assurent un montage irréversible des sachets sur le dispositif. Un tel montage irréversible peut être obtenu par collage, soudage, encliquetage irréversible, ou par un système de type "rivet".Alternatively, the attachment means ensure irreversible mounting of the bags on the device. Such an irreversible mounting can be obtained by gluing, welding, irreversible snapping, or by a "rivet" type system.
Selon un mode de réalisation, les moyens d'accrochage comprennent au moins un élément, notamment sous forme d'une vis, d'un système à harpon, ou d'un rivet, passant au travers de trous de fixation ménagés dans les premier et second sachets, ainsi que dans l'une et/ou l'autre desdites première et seconde parties de fixation, lesdits trous étant aptes à être mis les uns en regard des autres.According to one embodiment, the attachment means comprise at least one element, in particular in the form of a screw, a harpoon system, or a rivet, passing through fixing holes formed in the first and second bags, as well as in one and / or the other of said first and second fixing portions, said holes being able to be placed opposite one another.
De préférence, ledit (ou lesdits) élément(s) d'accrochage est (sont) solidaire(s) de l'une et/ou l'autre desdites première et seconde parties de fixation. Ils peuvent être obtenus de moulage avec la partie de fixation dont ils sont solidaires.Preferably, said (or said) attachment element (s) is (are) integral with one and / or the other of said first and second fixing parts. They can be obtained by molding with the fastening part of which they are integral.
Notamment dans le cas d'un accrochage par encliquetage, l'accrochage peut résulter de la coopération d'une portion des moyens d'accrochage de la première partie de fixation avec une portion complémentaire formée directement par la seconde partie de fixation.In particular in the case of snap-fastening, the attachment can result from the cooperation of a portion of the attachment means of the first fixing portion with a complementary portion formed directly by the second fixing portion.
Alternativement, l'accrochage peut résulter de la coopération d'une portion des moyens d'accrochage de la première partie de fixation avec un organe distinct de la seconde partie de fixation, par exemple un écrou.Alternatively, the attachment may result from the cooperation of a portion of the attachment means of the first fixing portion with a separate member of the second fixing portion, for example a nut.
Selon une autre alternative encore, l'accrochage peut résulter de la coopération de deux éléments distincts des première et seconde parties de fixation (rivet, vis/écrou, etc.).According to another alternative, the attachment can result from the cooperation of two distinct elements of the first and second fastening parts (rivet, screw / nut, etc.).
Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, lesdits premier et second sachets ainsi que lesdites première et seconde parties de fixation forment chacun deux épaules situées de part et d'autre d'un axe longitudinal X du dispositif, le dispositif comprenant au moins un élément d'accrochage de part et d'autre de l'axe X, au niveau de chacune desdites épaules.According to an advantageous embodiment, said first and second bags as well as said first and second attachment portions each form two shoulders located on either side of a longitudinal axis X of the device, the device comprising at least one element of hanging on either side of the X axis, at each of said shoulders.
De préférence, chacune des parties de fixation est solidaire d'au moins un élément d'accrochage. Ainsi, il est possible de prévoir au moins un premier moyen d'accrochage sur une épaule de l'une des parties de fixation, et au moins un second moyen d'accrochage, identique au premier, sur la même épaule de l'autre des parties de fixation, ce qui permet ainsi, lorsque les deux parties de fixation sont disposées avec leurs faces internes en regard l'une de l'autre, au moins un accrochage en chacune des épaules. De par cette disposition, le dispositif peut comporter deux éléments qui peuvent être obtenus à partir de deux pièces moulées identiques, réduisant ainsi d'autant le coût de moulage des éléments constitutifs du dispositif.Preferably, each of the fixing parts is secured to at least one fastening element. Thus, it is possible to provide at least one first attachment means on one shoulder of one of the attachment parts, and at least one second attachment means, identical to the first, on the same shoulder of the other of the fixing parts, which thus allows, when the two fixing parts are arranged with their internal faces facing each other, at least one attachment in each of the shoulders. By this arrangement, the device may comprise two elements that can be obtained from two identical molded parts, thereby reducing the cost of molding the constituent elements of the device.
Au moins préalablement à l'ouverture des orifices de sortie par déchirure, découpe ou rupture, les première et seconde plaques de pressurisation divergent en s'éloignant desdits orifices de sortie, une extrémité libre desdites plaques de pressurisation s'étendant au delà du fond desdits premier et second sachets. Cela permet, comme indiqué précédemment, de faire reposer le dispositif en position verticale sur une surface horizontale.At least prior to the opening of the outlet ports by tearing, cutting or breaking, the first and second pressurizing plates diverge away from said outlet ports, a free end of said pressurizing plates extending beyond the bottom of said first and second sachets. This allows, as indicated above, to rest the device in a vertical position on a horizontal surface.
Chacun des sachets peut comprend deux feuilles délimitant chacune une face principale du sachet, et une feuille d'extrémité formant un fond. Une telle configuration permet une ouverture harmonieuse de la poche en triangle, le sommet du triangle étant au voisinage des orifices de sortie. Une telle configuration facilite la disposition divergente des plaques de pressurisation, laquelle disposition divergente assure une bonne stabilité du dispositif lorsqu'il repose en position verticale sur un support.Each of the sachets may comprise two sheets delimiting each a main face of the bag, and an end sheet forming a bottom. Such a configuration allows a harmonious opening of the triangle pocket, the top of the triangle being in the vicinity of the outlets. Such a configuration facilitates the divergent arrangement of the pressurizing plates, which divergent arrangement ensures good stability of the device when it rests in a vertical position on a support.
L'un au moins desdits premier et second sachets peut être formé à partir d'un complexe d'aluminium et d'un matériau plastique, thermosoudable avec lui même.At least one of said first and second bags may be formed from an aluminum complex and a plastic material, heat-sealable with itself.
Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement adapté pour la distribution simultanée d'au moins deux produits en vue de former une composition cosmétique, notamment capillaire.The device according to the invention is particularly suitable for the simultaneous distribution of at least two products in order to form a cosmetic composition, in particular a capillary composition.
