The pourer mouth can move between a storage position where its pourer end is received in the interior volume and in which the mouth is wedged between the walls (16,20) opposite the neck and the plug, and a use position where the mouth is fixed directly on the mouth.

Description

La présente invention concerne un bidon équipé d'un bec verseur.The present invention relates to a container fitted with a spout.

Un tel bidon est réalisé en une matière plastique, telle que le polyéthylène, notamment haute densité, ou bien encore le polypropylène.Such a container is made of a plastic material, such as polyethylene, in particular high density, or else still polypropylene.

Il comprend un fond, à partir duquel s'étendent des parois latérales, terminées par une paroi supérieure. Cette dernière est munie d'un goulot permettant l'accès au volume intérieur du bidon.It includes a bottom, from which extend side walls, terminated by an upper wall. This last one has a neck allowing access to the volume inside the container.

Il est par ailleurs prévu un bec verseur, qui peut être fixé de manière amovible sur le goulot. Ce bec, qui est pourvu d'une extrémité amincie, garantit un déversement aisé de la substance initialement présente dans le volume intérieur du bidon.A pouring spout is also provided, which can be removably attached to the neck. This beak, which has a tapered end, guarantees spillage easy from the substance initially present in the volume inside the container.

L'invention se propose de réaliser un bidon équipé d'un bec verseur, du type décrit ci-dessus, dont la fabrication est économique et dont l'utilisation est particulièrement simple et commode.The invention proposes to produce a container equipped a spout, of the type described above, the manufacturing is economical and the use of which is particularly simple and convenient.

A cet effet, elle a pour objet un bidon selon la revendication 1.For this purpose, it relates to a container according to the claim 1.

D'autres caractéristiques avantageuses font l'objet des sous-revendications.Other advantageous characteristics are the subject subclaims.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui va suivre, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple non limitatif et faite en se référant aux dessins annexés, sur lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue de face, avec arrachements, illustrant un bidon conforme à l'invention, dans sa position de stockage ; et
  • les figures 2 et 3 sont des vues de face analogues à la figure 1, illustrant le bidon de cette figure 1 dans deux autres positions, respectivement intermédiaire et d'utilisation.
The invention will be better understood on reading the description which follows, given solely by way of nonlimiting example and made with reference to the appended drawings, in which:
  • Figure 1 is a front view, with parts broken away, illustrating a container according to the invention, in its storage position; and
  • Figures 2 and 3 are front views similar to Figure 1, illustrating the container of this Figure 1 in two other positions, respectively intermediate and use.

Le bidon représenté sur les figures 1 à 3, qui est désigné dans son ensemble par la référence 2, comporte un fond 4, des parois latérales 6, ainsi qu'une paroi supérieure 8. Celle-ci est munie d'un goulot 10, permettant l'accès au volume intérieur V du bidon, ainsi que d'une poignée 12.The can shown in Figures 1 to 3, which is designated as a whole by the reference 2, includes a bottom 4, side walls 6, as well as a wall upper 8. This is provided with a neck 10, allowing access to the interior volume V of the container, as well as a handle 12.

Ce bidon est réalisé en une matière plastique, telle que du polyéthylène haute densité ou du polypropylène. Il est notamment destiné à recevoir une substance liquide.This container is made of a plastic material, such than high density polyethylene or polypropylene. he is especially intended to receive a liquid substance.

Le goulot 10, plus aisément visible sur la figure 2, comprend un épaulement rentrant 14, terminé par un fût fileté 16. Ce goulot est susceptible de recevoir, de façon amovible, un bouchon désigné dans son ensemble par la référence 18.The neck 10, more easily visible in FIG. 2, includes a re-entrant shoulder 14, terminated by a barrel threaded 16. This neck is capable of receiving, so removable, a cap designated as a whole by the reference 18.

Comme le montre plus précisément la figure 3, ce bouchon 18 comprend un fond 20, à partir duquel s'étendent des parois latérales taraudées 22, destinées à coopérer avec le fût fileté 16 du goulot. Ces parois 22 sont prolongées, à l'opposé du fond 20, par un épaulement 24, destiné à coopérer avec celui 14 ménagé sur le goulot.As shown more precisely in Figure 3, this plug 18 includes a bottom 20, from which extend tapped side walls 22, intended to cooperate with the threaded barrel 16 of the neck. These walls 22 are extended, opposite the bottom 20, by a shoulder 24, intended to cooperate with that 14 formed on the neck.

Le bidon 2 est en outre équipé d'un bec verseur, désigné dans son ensemble par la référence 26. Ce dernier comprend une partie principale tronconique 28, prolongée par une extrémité verseuse amincie 30. Par ailleurs, une collerette 32 s'étend depuis cette partie principale 28, à l'opposé de l'extrémité 30 précitée.The container 2 is also equipped with a pouring spout, designated as a whole by the reference 26. The latter includes a tapered main portion 28, extended by a thinned pouring end 30. Furthermore, a flange 32 extends from this main part 28, to opposite of the aforementioned end 30.

La figure 1 illustre le bidon 2, décrit ci-dessus, dans sa position de stockage.FIG. 1 illustrates the container 2, described above, in its storage position.

Dans cette conformation, la collerette 32 du bec verseur 26 prend appui contre l'extrémité libre du fût 16 du goulot 10. Cette collerette est maintenue par coincement entre ce fût et le fond 20 du bouchon. In this configuration, the collar 32 of the spout pourer 26 bears against the free end of the barrel 16 neck 10. This flange is held by wedging between this barrel and the bottom 20 of the cap.

Par ailleurs, la partie principale 28 du bec s'étend au travers du goulot 10, alors que l'extrémité verseuse 30 est reçue dans le volume intérieur V du bidon.Furthermore, the main part 28 of the spout extends through the neck 10, while the pouring end 30 is received in the interior volume V of the container.

Il est à noter, que dans cette position de stockage, l'agencement de la figure 1 confère deux niveaux d'étanchéité au bidon.It should be noted that in this storage position, the arrangement of Figure 1 gives two levels sealing the container.

Ainsi, étant donné que la partie principale 28 est tronconique, ceci garantit un premier degré d'étanchéité par rapport aux parois en regard du goulot. En outre, le bouchon 18 est muni d'une lèvre non représentée, qui coopère avec la collerette 32, de manière à assurer un second degré d'étanchéité.So since the main part 28 is tapered, this guarantees a first degree of tightness with respect to the walls facing the neck. In addition, the cap 18 is provided with a lip, not shown, which cooperates with the collar 32, so as to ensure second degree of tightness.

Si l'on désire déverser la substance présente dans le bidon 2, au moyen du bec 26, il s'agit tout d'abord d'ôter le bouchon 18, en le dévissant. Cette phase est illustrée à la figure 2.If you wish to dump the substance present in the can 2, by means of the spout 26, it is first of all a question of removing the cap 18, by unscrewing it. This phase is illustrated in Figure 2.

Ceci permet alors de retirer le bec verseur 26, hors du volume intérieur V du bidon 2.This then makes it possible to remove the spout 26, outside of the interior volume V of the container 2.

A cet effet, comme illustré en figure 2, il est possible de conférer à ce bec 26 des dimensions radiales telles que, dans la position de stockage, la collerette 32 se trouve immobilisée, par coincement, contre les parois latérales 22 du bouchon 18. Dans ce cas, lorsqu'on retire ce bouchon 18 du goulot 10, cette opération permet de dégager également le bec verseur 26, qui se trouve solidaire de ce bouchon.To this end, as illustrated in FIG. 2, it is possible to give this spout 26 radial dimensions such that, in the storage position, the collar 32 is immobilized, by wedging, against the walls side 22 of the plug 18. In this case, when removing this plug 18 of the neck 10, this operation allows also release the spout 26, which is located secured to this plug.

A titre de variante non représentée, le bec verseur peut ne pas être immobilisé par rapport au bouchon 18. Dans ce cas, lorsque ce dernier est ôté du goulot 10, l'utilisateur est à même de saisir manuellement la collerette 32, qui prend appui contre l'extrémité du fût 16, de façon à extraire le bec verseur 26.As a variant not shown, the spout may not be immobilized relative to plug 18. In this case, when the latter is removed from the neck 10, the user is able to manually enter the flange 32, which bears against the end of the barrel 16, so as to extract the spout 26.

Enfin, comme le montre la figure 3, l'utilisateur retourne le bec verseur 26, puis le fixe directement sur le goulot 10, sans faire intervenir le bouchon 18. De façon plus précise, cette fixation est assurée par encliquetage élastique de la collerette 32 sur l'extrémité du fût fileté 16. A cet effet, cette collerette est par exemple munie de moyens connus, non représentés, permettant un tel encliquetage.Finally, as shown in Figure 3, the user returns the spout 26, then fixes it directly on the neck 10, without involving the plug 18. So more precise, this fixing is ensured by snap-fastening elastic of the collar 32 on the end of the threaded barrel 16. For this purpose, this collar is for example provided with known means, not shown, allowing such snap.

Une fois le bidon 2 dans sa position d'utilisation, il est alors possible de déverser, de façon aisée, la substance initialement présente dans le volume intérieur V du bidon. Il est à noter que, dans cette configuration de la figure 3, le bouchon 18 n'est pas solidarisé au bidon 2.Once the can 2 in its position of use, it it is then possible to easily pour the substance initially present in the interior volume V from the can. Note that in this configuration of In FIG. 3, the plug 18 is not secured to the container 2.

L'invention permet de réaliser les objectifs précédemment mentionnés.The invention achieves the objectives previously mentioned.

En effet, le bidon de l'invention est d'une fabrication économique, puisqu'il fait appel à un nombre restreint d'éléments constitutifs. Par ailleurs, les différents types de fixation entre ces éléments peuvent être assurés de façon classique, sans entraíner de surcoûts substantiels.Indeed, the container of the invention is of a economical manufacturing, since it uses a number restricted of constituent elements. In addition, different types of attachment between these elements can be insured in the conventional way, without incurring additional costs substantial.

En outre, le bidon de l'invention est d'une utilisation simple, puisque celle-ci fait intervenir un faible nombre d'étapes opératoires, qui sont particulièrement aisées à mettre en oeuvre.In addition, the container of the invention is of a simple to use, since it involves a low number of operating steps, which are particularly easy to implement.

Enfin, la présence du bec verseur confère une étanchéité très satisfaisante au bidon de l'invention, étant donné qu'elle garantit l'existence de deux degrés différents d'étanchéité.Finally, the presence of the spout gives a very satisfactory tightness of the container of the invention, since it guarantees the existence of two degrees different sealing.

A cet égard, il convient de noter que, en l'absence de ce bec verseur, une telle étanchéité ne serait pas convenablement obtenue.In this regard, it should be noted that, in the absence of this spout, such a seal would not suitably obtained.
