  • the solution of the invention namely the fact of protecting not only the body of the gas cylinder but also its upper part (covering and / or means for controlling the gas outlet) has the following advantages:
  • the present invention is based on the installation around the cylindrical body 1 of the bottle and of the protective cover 2 of protective envelopes 11, 21, 30 each consisting of one or more thicknesses pre-assembled or not.
  • protective envelopes 11, 21, 30 each consisting of one or more thicknesses pre-assembled or not.
  • One 21 of these envelopes preferably rigid, protects the cowling
  • This rigid part 21 can also protect a part of the body 1 of the bottle, that is to say extend over the body 1 of the bottle.
  • the bottles concerned by the invention are of variable dimensions (typically up to about 50 liters of water capacity) but preferably of small size because the small bottles (capacity about 5 liters of water) more likely to be transported and handled by different operators and, therefore, be subjected to different more or less contaminating environments.
  • the protection of the bottle is ensured by a first protective envelope 11 arranged around the body 1 of the bottle, a second protective envelope 21 arranged around the protective cover 2 and possibly a third envelope 30 including said first envelope 11 and second envelope 21, for example during transport or handling of the bottle.
  • the first protective envelope 11 constitutes an external thickness covering the body 1 of the bottle with a length equal to or approximately equal to the total height of the bottle to be protected and with a diameter slightly greater than the diameter of the bottle, the material of which is made is either a transparent polymer, preferably PET (polyethylene), or a rigid cardboard envelope, optionally varnished or plasticized, as detailed below.
  • a transparent polymer preferably PET (polyethylene)
  • a rigid cardboard envelope optionally varnished or plasticized, as detailed below.
  • this first protective envelope 11 surrounding the body 1 of the bottle preferably comprises a rigid and flat bottom 12 which, on the one hand, facilitates the positioning of said first envelope 11 around of the bottle and, on the other hand, stabilizes the bottle when it is placed in an upright position.
  • the presence of a bottom 12 secured to the first envelope 11 makes it possible to strengthen the hygiene of the bottle by preventing dust or other dirt from interfering between the body 1 of the bottle and said protective envelope.
  • the first protective envelope portion 11 and the second protective envelope portion 21 are integral with one another and formed in one piece within a cardboard sheet covered externally with varnish or a polymer film.
  • the first envelope portion 11 carries the bottom 12 in the form of a disc fixed integrally to said first envelope portion 11 via a plastic band 21, itself fixed, for example by gluing to the sheet forming the first envelope portion 11.
  • the two ends of the strip 21 can be joined together, one with the other, by clipping.
  • an adhesive strip 22 is provided on one of the longitudinal edges of the first envelope portion 11 to allow its arrangement and its fixing in position around the body 1 of the bottle, the edge 29 with adhesive strip 22 covering and stick to the edge 28 without adhesive strip, via said adhesive strip 22.
  • the presence of a flat bottom 12 is not necessary and one can either put nothing more, or only add one or more annular rings 12 ′ enclosing the base of the first envelope 11 , near the bottom of the bottle.
  • the second protective envelope 21 constitutes a thickness guaranteeing a high level of hygiene of the organs or means 3 for controlling the outlet of the gases contained in the bottle, for example from a tap or from a valve-gas pressure regulator assembly.
  • this second protective envelope 21 covers all or part of the external surface of said protective cover 2, or even possibly also a part of the body of the bottle.

  • This disposable or non-disposable thickness 21 can bear specific graphics 25 the quality of which is renewed with each packaging.
  • a third thickness 30, the constituent material of which can be a polymer, preferably PET, varnished cardboard or plasticized cardboard, partially or entirely protects the bottle during its transport from the packaging center to its place of use (hospital, health center or SAMU for example) or even on a place of storage before use.
  • the other protective envelopes 11 and 21 can nevertheless be used without this latter thickness 30.
  • This third thickness 30, disposable or not, can also bear specific graphics whose quality is renewed with each packaging.
  • This thickness 30 having to ensure total protection of the bottle during transport and storage, it must therefore be sufficiently resistant. It could, if necessary, be used alone if the level of hygiene expected by the user is not high.
  • This thickness is provided with a side handle which allows easy horizontal porting of the bottle.
  • a fourth thickness 40 which is added to the bottle after use of the gas which was contained in said bottle, makes it possible to materialize very clearly the state of use of the bottle (empty / return to the manufacturer) thanks to information visible from afar, thus avoiding any untimely manipulation of a previously used bottle.
  • a fourth thickness 40 covers at least part of the second protective casing 21, when the bottle is empty, as far as the filling site thereof.
  • this fourth thickness 40 is brightly colored (for example orange or red) or comprises a specific marking clearly indicating to the user the state of the bottle and this, by a simple glance.
  • the number of protective thicknesses is directly linked to the desired level of hygiene and the life cycle of the bottle between two successive packages.
  • the protective envelopes make it possible to maintain the level of external cleanliness and hygiene of the bottle over time. They are therefore associated with a global usage protocol which comprises different phases, namely:
  • the protective envelopes preferably disposable, are placed on the bottle.
  • the bottle storage devices on the trucks will be adapted if necessary so as not to damage the protective envelopes during transport.
  • the bottle is delivered as is to the user, who keeps all of the protective envelopes for the duration of storage.
  • the user removes the third layer.
  • the bottle then reveals the first and second envelopes 11 and 21.
  • the packaged product presented with the guarantees of cleanliness is thus protected throughout its use.
  • the user has a fourth thickness, preferably colored (orange or red) to indicate the state of use of (a bottle. The protection of the bottle when returning to the packaging center is therefore also assured.
  • the user makes the bottle available to the manufacturer for return to the packaging center.
  • the fourth colored protective envelope 40 is removed before packaging, when sorting the bottles.
  • the re-conditioning of the bottles it is preferable to systematically replace the envelopes of the bottle which are replaced by new and clean envelopes.
  • a side handle 35, 36 or more located on the outermost protective casing 30, which allows easy and quick removal after each packaging operation at the manufacturer.
  • the invention is particularly suitable for use within a hospital or care establishment, or an on-site intervention unit, in particular a mobile unit of SAMU type (Autonomous Medical Emergency Service).
