Description

L'invention concerne un récipient de conditionnement pour fluide, notamment pour liquide, à goulot à bouchon amovible, renfermant un pinceau, adapté pour pouvoir recevoir un fluide contenant un solvant alors que le pinceau comporte des éléments assemblés au moyen d'une colle.The invention relates to a packaging container for fluid, in particular for liquid, with a neck with a removable cap, containing a brush, adapted to be able to receive a fluid containing a solvent while the brush has elements assembled using glue.

Actuellement, les récipients dans lesquels est conditionné un fluide contenant un solvant, par exemple un vernis ou une colle liquide, peuvent être difficilement être livrés avec un pinceau logé à l'intérieur du récipient et ainsi susceptible de tremper dans le liquide, si notamment les poils, par exemple des soies de porc, du pinceau, sont solidarisés au manche ou/et à une virole de celui-ci au moyen d'une colle, notamment d'une colle bi-composants.Currently, the containers in which a fluid is conditioned containing a solvent, for example a varnish or a liquid adhesive, can be hardly be delivered with a brush housed inside the container and so likely to soak in liquid, for example hairs, for example pig bristles, brush, are joined to the handle and / or a ferrule of it by means of an adhesive, in particular a two-component adhesive.

En effet, il peut se produire alors, au bout d'un temps relativement court (de l'ordre de quelques mois), une altération de la colle d'assemblage des éléments du pinceau, se traduisant par une coloration de celui-ci, ou/et une réaction chimique conduisant à une gélification du liquide emplissant le récipient. Ce phénomène empêche de garantir une durée relativement longue de conservation du liquide, par exemple une durée d'au moins 18 ou 24 mois.Indeed, it can occur then, after a relatively short time (of the order of a few months), a deterioration in the assembly glue of the elements of the brush, resulting in a coloring thereof, or / and a chemical reaction leading to gelation of the liquid filling the container. This phenomenon prevents guaranteeing a relatively long duration of liquid storage, for example a period of at least 18 or 24 months.

En outre, certains fluides contiennent un solvant dont l'agressivité est telle que certains bouchons en matière synthétique se fendent après seulement quelques semaines de stockage des récipients emplis de fluide, phénomène limité mais néanmoins très gênant parce qu'il est incontrôlable.In addition, some fluids contain a solvent whose aggressiveness is such that some plastic plugs split after only a few weeks of storage of the containers filled with fluid, limited phenomenon but nevertheless very annoying because it is uncontrollable.

L'invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients et concerne à cette fin un récipient de conditionnement pour fluide, notamment pour liquide, à goulot à bouchon amovible, présentant les caractéristiques de la revendication 1.The invention aims to remedy these drawbacks and relates to for this purpose a packaging container for fluid, in particular for liquid, with removable cap neck, having the characteristics of claim 1.

Grâce au fourreau définissant avec le bouchon une paroi adaptée pour envelopper le pinceau, celui-ci est isolé du produit emplissant le récipient et en particulier de tout solvant entrant dans la composition de ce produit.Thanks to the sheath defining with the cap a wall suitable for wrap the brush, it is isolated from the product filling the container and particular of any solvent used in the composition of this product.

Le récipient peut en outre présenter une ou plusieurs des caractéristiques énoncées aux revendications 2 à 9.The container may also have one or more of the Characteristics set out in claims 2 to 9.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention ressortiront de la description qui va suivre, d'une forme de réalisation de l'invention, donnée à titre d'exemple non limitatif et illustrée par les dessins joints dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 représente schématiquement un récipient équipé selon l'invention, partiellement coupé, et
  • la figure 2 est une coupe schématique « en éclaté » des principaux éléments représentés sur la figure 1.
Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will emerge from the description which follows, of an embodiment of the invention, given by way of nonlimiting example and illustrated by the accompanying drawings in which:
  • FIG. 1 schematically represents a container equipped according to the invention, partially cut, and
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic “exploded” section of the main elements shown in FIG. 1.

Le récipient représenté sur les figures comporte de manière connue un bidon 1 muni d'une embouchure 11 de forme générale cylindrique, un goulot 2 constitué sous la forme d'une pièce séparée du bidon et solidarisé à celui-ci par exemple par clipsage à l'intérieur de l'embouchure, et un bouchon 3 adapté pour être solidarisé au goulot 2 de manière amovible par exemple par vissage, des filets complémentaires étant réalisés sur le pourtour du goulot et à l'intérieur du bouchon. Le bouchon 3 est de la sorte directement solidarisé au goulot 2.The container shown in the figures comprises in known manner a can 1 provided with a generally cylindrical mouth 11, a neck 2 formed as a separate part from the container and secured to it for example by clipping inside the mouthpiece, and a plug 3 adapted to be secured to the neck 2 in a removable manner, for example by screwing, additional threads being made on the periphery of the neck and inside the cap. The plug 3 is thus directly secured at the neck 2.

Le récipient comporte également un pinceau 4 destiné à recueillir un fluide, notamment un liquide, contenu au fond du bidon, et adapté pour être solidarisé au fond du bouchon 3 de manière amovible par exemple également par vissage de manière à s'étendre dans le bidon 1 quand le bouchon 3 est solidarisé au goulot 2 en position de fermeture du récipient. Selon l'invention, le récipient comporte en outre un fourreau 5 solidarisé de manière amovible au goulot 2 et s'étendant dans le bidon 1, définissant, avec le bouchon 3, la paroi d'une chambre de confinement du pinceau 4, enveloppant celui-ci quand le fourreau est, ainsi que le bouchon 3, solidarisé au goulot 2 en position de fermeture du récipient ; ce fourreau 5 est suffisamment grand pour pouvoir contenir le pinceau également quand celui-ci n'est pas solidarisé (ici vissé) au bouchon 3. Plus précisément, le fourreau 5 s'étend essentiellement au-dessous du niveau du goulot 2, et est suffisamment long pour contenir la totalité du pinceau 4, même si celui-ci n'est pas solidarisé au bouchon 3. Le récipient comporte aussi, facultativement, une douille 6 adaptée pour être solidarisée de manière amovible au goulot 2, par exemple en ajustement serré à l'intérieur de celui-ci.The container also includes a brush 4 intended to collect a fluid, in particular a liquid, contained at the bottom of the container, and adapted to be secured to the bottom of the plug 3 in a removable manner, for example also by screwing so as to extend into the can 1 when the cap 3 is secured to the neck 2 in the closed position of the container. According to the invention, the container further comprises a sheath 5 removably secured to the neck 2 and extending into the container 1, defining, with the plug 3, the wall a confinement chamber of the brush 4, enveloping the latter when the sheath is, as well as the plug 3, secured to the neck 2 in the position of closing the container; this sheath 5 is large enough to be able also contain the brush when it is not secured (here screwed) to the plug 3. More specifically, the sheath 5 extends essentially below level of neck 2, and is long enough to contain the entire brush 4, even if it is not secured to plug 3. The container also optionally includes a socket 6 adapted to be removably secured to neck 2, for example in a tight fit inside of it.

Plus précisément, le goulot 2, en matière synthétique, par exemple en polyéthylène, est constitué par un tube de forme générale cylindrique dont une région 21 est insérée dans l'embouchure 11 et une région 22 est en saillie longitudinale hors de l'embouchure, qui est muni extérieurement, à la jonction de ces deux régions 21, 22, d'une collerette 23 en appui sur l'extrémité libre de l'embouchure, prolongée, le long de l'un de ses diamètres, vers l'extérieur, par deux oreilles 24 de préhension diamétralement opposées. La région 21 insérée dans l'embouchure 11 présente un renflement extérieur annulaire adapté pour se clipser dans une gorge annulaire creusée à l'intérieur de l'embouchure du bidon 1; le diamètre intérieur de cette région 21 est légèrement supérieur à celui de la région 22 en saillie hors de l'embouchure et est raccordé à lui par un épaulement. La région 22 en saillie comporte extérieurement un filet de solidarisation du bouchon 3.More specifically, the neck 2, made of synthetic material, for example in polyethylene, consists of a generally cylindrical tube, one of which region 21 is inserted into mouth 11 and region 22 is protruding longitudinal out of the mouth, which is provided externally, at the junction of these two regions 21, 22, of a flange 23 bearing on the free end of the mouth, extended, along one of its diameters, outwards, by two diametrically opposite gripping ears 24. Region 21 inserted into mouth 11 has an annular outer bulge suitable for clipping into an annular groove dug inside the mouth of the can 1; the inner diameter of this region 21 is slightly higher than that of region 22 projecting out of the mouth and is connected to it by a shoulder. The protruding region 22 has externally a thread for securing the plug 3.

Le bouchon 3, également en matière synthétique, comporte un fond 31 circulaire extérieurement approximativement plat et une jupe 32 de forme générale cylindrique munie extérieurement d'un filet de solidarisation au goulot 2; intérieurement, le fond 31 présente un lamage circulaire 33 pour le logement de l'extrémité libre du goulot 2, et, en saillie coaxialement à la jupe 32, dans l'espace délimité par celui-ci, une coupelle 34 munie intérieurement d'un filet de solidarisation du pinceau 4.The plug 3, also made of synthetic material, has a bottom 31 circular approximately flat outside and a skirt 32 of form general cylindrical fitted externally with a fixing thread to the neck 2; internally, the bottom 31 has a circular counterbore 33 for the housing the free end of the neck 2, and, projecting coaxially to the skirt 32, in the space delimited by it, a cup 34 provided internally a brush fastening net 4.

Le pinceau 4 comporte un manche 41 en matière synthétique présentant une extrémité libre munie extérieurement d'un filet de solidarisation à la coupelle 34 du bouchon 3 ; à l'extrémité opposée du manche, sont fixés les poils 42 du pinceau, constitués ici par des soies de porc ; la partie du manche 41 à laquelle sont fixées les soies 42 et la base de celle-ci, sont entourées d'une virole 43 métallique, par exemple en fer blanc ; les soies contenues partiellement à l'intérieur du manche et de la virole sont fixées par une colle bi-composants. Sur toute sa longueur, les dimensions du pinceau en section transversale sont inférieures au diamètre intérieur du goulot 2.The brush 4 has a handle 41 of synthetic material having a free end provided externally with a fastening net to the cup 34 of the plug 3; at the opposite end of the handle, are fixed the bristles 42 of the brush, constituted here by pig bristles; the part of handle 41 to which the bristles 42 and the base thereof are fixed, are surrounded by a metallic ferrule 43, for example made of tinplate; silks partially contained inside the handle and the ferrule are fixed by a two-component adhesive. Over its entire length, the dimensions of the brush in cross section are less than the inside diameter of the neck 2.

Le fourreau 5, en matière synthétique, de préférence en polypropylène, comporte un corps tubulaire 51 allongé de forme générale cylindrique dont le diamètre intérieur est supérieur à la plus grande dimension de la section transversale du pinceau, dont le diamètre extérieur est inférieur au diamètre intérieur du goulot 2, et dont l'extrémité libre est fermée, et une courte embase tubulaire 52 de solidarisation au goulot, de diamètre extérieur plus grand que celui du corps et approximativement égal au diamètre intérieur de la région 22 en saillie du goulot pour que le fourreau puisse être solidarisé amoviblement au goulot par ajustement serré de cette embase 52 dans cette région 22 ; l'embase 52 est raccordée à une région tronconique du corps 51 évasée en direction de l'embase. L'extrémité libre de l'embase de fixation 52 comporte extérieurement une collerette mince 53 de diamètre extérieur supérieur au diamètre intérieur de la région 22 en saillie du goulot 2 et inférieur au diamètre du lamage du bouchon 3, de telle manière que le fourreau 5 puisse être maintenu en place par pincement de sa collerette 53 entre l'extrémité libre du goulot 2 et le fond du lamage 33 du bouchon 3. Il faut noter que le fourreau 5 est suffisamment long pour pouvoir contenir le pinceau 4 même quand celui-ci n'est pas vissé dans la coupelle 34, lorsque le bouchon est fixé au goulot.The sheath 5, made of synthetic material, preferably polypropylene, comprises an elongated tubular body 51 of generally cylindrical shape, the inner diameter is greater than the largest dimension of the section transverse of the brush, whose outside diameter is less than the diameter inside of neck 2, and the free end of which is closed, and a short base tubular 52 for attachment to the neck, with an outside diameter greater than that of the body and approximately equal to the interior diameter of region 22 protruding from the neck so that the sheath can be removably secured at the neck by tight fitting of this base 52 in this region 22; the base 52 is connected to a frustoconical region of the body 51 flared at direction of the base. The free end of the fixing base 52 comprises externally a thin collar 53 with an outside diameter greater than inside diameter of region 22 projecting from neck 2 and less than diameter counterbore 3 so that the sleeve 5 can be held in place by pinching its flange 53 between the free end of the neck 2 and the bottom of the counterbore 33 of the plug 3. It should be noted that the sheath 5 is long enough to hold brush 4 even when it is is not screwed into the cup 34, when the cap is fixed to the neck.

La douille 6, en métal par exemple en fer blanc, comporte, à l'intérieur de la région 21 du goulot 2 insérée dans l'embouchure 11, une région 61 de forme générale cylindrique se prolongeant dans la région 22 en saillie hors de l'embouchure et dont le diamètre extérieur est approximativement égal au diamètre intérieur de cette région 22, de telle manière qu'elle puisse être solidarisée au goulot par ajustement serré dans cette région 22 ; elle se prolonge en direction du bouchon par une région 62 de diamètre légèrement inférieur ; à l'extrémité opposée, la douille 6 comporte extérieurement une collerette 63 adaptée pour venir en appui contre l'extrémité libre du goulot 2 intérieure à l'embouchure 11 du bidon 1, et la longueur totale de cette douille 6 est choisie de telle manière que lorsque sa collerette 63 est en appui contre le chant d'extrémité du goulot, l'extrémité opposée de la douille soit sur toute sa circonférence en contact avec l'embase 52 du fourreau 5.The socket 6, made of metal for example of tinplate, has, inside of the region 21 of the neck 2 inserted in the mouth 11, a region 61 of generally cylindrical shape extending into region 22 projecting out of the mouth and whose outside diameter is approximately equal to inner diameter of this region 22, so that it can be secured to the neck by tight fitting in this region 22; she is extends towards the stopper by a region 62 of diameter slightly inferior ; at the opposite end, the sleeve 6 externally has a collar 63 adapted to bear against the free end of the neck 2 inside the mouth 11 of the container 1, and the total length of this socket 6 is chosen in such a way that when its collar 63 is in abutment against the end edge of the neck, the opposite end of the sleeve is on its entire circumference in contact with the base 52 of the sleeve 5.

Le récipient qui vient d'être décrit dans lequel simplement une partie du goulot 2 est emmanchée dans l'embouchure 11 du bidon 1, et le bouchon 3 est vissé sur le goulot, est dans cette configuration élémentaire un récipient pratiquement classique. Dans le cas où l'on craint que le vissage d'un pinceau 4 dans la coupelle 34 du bouchon 3 conduise à une détérioration du bouchon, et en particulier à création de craquelures dans celui-ci, connue dans la technique sous le nom de « stress cracking », aucun pinceau n'est vissé dans la coupelle 34 ; il est cependant possible de munir intérieurement le récipient d'un pinceau grâce, selon l'invention, à l'adjonction du fourreau 5. En effet, les dimensions intérieures du fourreau 5 sont suffisamment grandes pour que, le goulot 2 étant solidarisé au bidon 1 et le fourreau étant solidarisé de manière amovible au goulot 2 après avoir été enfilé dans celui-ci par l'extrémité ouverte du goulot opposée à celle qui est logée dans le bidon, par ajustement serré de l'embase de fixation 52 dans le goulot, le pinceau 4 puisse être logé dans le fourreau et le récipient puisse être bouché par vissage du bouchon 3 sur le goulot 2.The container which has just been described in which simply part of the neck 2 is fitted into the mouth 11 of the container 1, and the cap 3 is screwed onto the neck, is in this basic configuration a container practically classic. In case it is feared that the screwing of a brush 4 in the cup 34 of the plug 3 leads to a deterioration of the plug, and in particular to the creation of cracks therein, known in the technique under the name of “stress cracking”, no brush is screwed into the cup 34; it is however possible to provide the container internally of a brush thanks, according to the invention, to the addition of the sheath 5. In fact, the inner dimensions of the sheath 5 are large enough that the neck 2 being secured to the container 1 and the sheath being secured so removable at neck 2 after being threaded through the open end of the neck opposite to that which is housed in the container, by tight adjustment of the mounting base 52 in the neck, the brush 4 can be housed in the sleeve and the container can be closed by screwing the cap 3 onto the neck 2.

En revanche, lorsque le « stress cracking » n'est pas à craindre et le fourreau a été mis en place comme précédemment, le pinceau 4 est vissé au bouchon 3, puis le bouchon est vissé au goulot.On the other hand, when stress cracking is not to be feared and the sheath has been put in place as before, brush 4 is screwed in cap 3, then the cap is screwed to the neck.

Dans les deux cas, grâce au fourreau, il est possible d'éviter la dégradation progressive des composants du récipient et plus particulièrement du dispositif de bouchage, et ainsi d'augmenter la durée possible de conservation du produit dans le récipient ; en effet, le fourreau, par exemple et de préférence en polypropylène, non seulement isole le produit contenu dans le bidon, du bouchon et du pinceau, mais de plus neutralise en partie l'action des solvants notamment sur le bouchon. En outre, grâce au fait que la collerette 53 du fourreau est pincée, par serrage des filets du goulot et du bouchon, entre ces deux pièces, l'étanchéité du récipient est renforcée ; le profil de l'embase du fourreau en ajustement serré dans le goulot contribue également à renforcer l'étanchéité.In both cases, thanks to the sheath, it is possible to avoid progressive degradation of the container components and more particularly of the closure device, and thus increase the possible duration of conservation of the product in the container; indeed, the scabbard, for example and preferably made of polypropylene, not only insulates the product contained in the can, the cap and the brush, but also partially neutralizes the action solvents especially on the cap. Furthermore, thanks to the fact that the collar 53 of the sheath is pinched, by tightening the threads of the neck and the plug, between these two parts, the tightness of the container is reinforced; the profile of the scabbard in tight fit in the neck contributes also to strengthen the seal.

Enfin, dans le cas où le produit conditionné dans le récipient contient un solvant à haute agressivité sur le polyéthylène (du goulot), l'incorporation de la douille 6 protège la partie du goulot logée dans l'embouchure 11, car la douille couvre toute la partie sensible aux évaporations par suite de sa butée contre l'embase 52 du fourreau ; la douille 6 étant en fer blanc, assure une protection parfaite. Naturellement, lorsque la nature du produit contenu dans le récipient ne nécessite pas sa présence, la douille 6 peut ne pas être incorporée au récipient.Finally, if the product packaged in the container contains a highly aggressive solvent on polyethylene (of the neck), the incorporation of socket 6 protects the part of the neck housed in the mouth 11, because the socket covers the entire area sensitive to evaporation due to its abutment against the base 52 of the sheath; socket 6 being made of tinplate, provides protection perfect. Naturally, when the nature of the product contained in the container does not require its presence, the socket 6 may not be incorporated in the container.
