Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an assembly, as used in particular for the packaging of cosmetic products, in particular for packaging of products in the form of a gel or cream.
  • the invention relates in particular to the facilitated distribution of the content of such pots.
  • the content of the jar is taken by the user, using one or more fingers which she introduces into the pot.
  • the operation is more and more difficult as we approaches the bottom of the pot, especially for pots with a small cross-section relatively to their height.
  • the patent for invention FR 1,570,600 describes a device comprising a exterior packaging and interior packaging, in the form of a bellows, mounted on a piston.
  • the displacement of the piston, from bottom to top, by so as to compress the bellows over use, and cause the exit of the product, is done either by a manual push directly on the bottom, or by rotation of the external packaging relative to a distribution device integral with the interior packaging.
  • the mechanism is complicated. Therefore, the cost of the pot is important, and incompatible with the requirements economic dictated by the circuits of the large distribution.
  • US Patent 4,456,134 describes another packaging system in which, the volume of a receptacle is adjusted, by means of a soupy part, of the type bellows for example, and whose height can be reduced by screwing, one on the other, of two cylindrical parts forming an external packaging. The visible height of the container is reduced accordingly. In the same way that for the device discussed above, this system is complicated and expensive.
  • rigid structure is meant a structure which, in response to a constraint axial, offers greater resistance than the resistance offered by the flexible pot in response to the same axial stress.
  • the material forming the rigid structure is of shores hardness greater than the shores hardness of the material forming the flexible pot.
  • the assembly has a perfect hold, when placed on a display, or during storage, in especially when stacked.
  • the consumer extracts the pot from the rigid structure.
  • This operation is facilitated by the fact that at least part of the cervix, and, where appropriate, of the cover which closes the opening which it delimits, is located above the structure rigid.
  • the entire neck is located above the rigid structure, an upper edge of the latter being located substantially at the level of the shoulder formed at the base of the neck.
  • the other product in particular the dye, is packaged separately, in particular in a housing formed in the bottom of the rigid structure, and kept isolated from the flexible pot with a removable film, in particular in a complex based aluminum.
  • the consumer extracts the flexible pot from the rigid structure. She removes the removable film that closes the housing formed in the bottom of the rigid structure containing the dye. It clears the opening of the flexible pot and press the contents inside the rigid structure. She mixes it all up using an appropriate tool so as to homogenize the composition of coloring, and applies it in a conventional manner, in particular in the form of wicks.
  • Removable fixing of the rigid structure on the flexible pot is carried out by mechanical attachment, in particular by snap-fastening, screwing, or bayonet.
  • this removable attachment is made possible by the presence of thicker and therefore more rigid areas of the pot, where must be hooked. Such areas of greater thickness may be especially provided at the bottom of the pot.
  • the neck of the pot can also be of greater thickness, in order to allow the attachment, in particular by screwing, of a plug.
  • an outer surface of the neck has a thread capable of cooperating with a corresponding thread provided on an inner surface of a plug.
  • the attachment can be done by snap-fastening or by a system with ramps.
  • the cover is made in one rigid material.
  • identical materials can be used or different.
  • part of the cover is substantially in contact with a corresponding part of the structure rigid.
  • the pots can be stacked without risk of crushing.
  • the cover includes an annular edge, disposed at opposite of a bottom of the cover, and which, in the mounted position of the cover on the bottom, is substantially in contact with an annular portion of the rigid structure, in particular of its upper edge.
  • the flexible pot comprises, near its bottom, means attachment, in particular in the form of ribs or lugs, capable of cooperating with reversibly with additional attachment means provided for near the bottom of the rigid structure.
  • the assembly / disassembly of the rigid structure relative to the flexible pot is made in response to the rotation of one relative to the other.
  • the direction of rotation of the rigid structure relative to the pot, when disassembly, can be identical to the direction of unscrewing the pot cap.
  • the direction of rotation, for disassembly is opposite to the direction of rotation of the pot stopper for its unscrewing.
  • the flexible pot can be produced by injection blowing, in particular from a material elastomeric or a polyolefin, in particular a polyethylene or a polypropylene, obtained by metallocene catalysis, optionally as a mixture with another polyolefin.
  • the preform is of greater thickness at the level from the neck of the pot, and at the bottom.
  • the variation in diameter between the base of the neck and the shoulder formed between the neck and the side wall of the pot will cause a thinning of the wall towards the widest diameter of the pot.
  • the collar will therefore be thicker than the shoulder and the side wall of the pot.
  • the thickness can be of the order of 1.5 mm.
  • the thickness gradually decreases on the shoulder, towards the side wall of the pot body.
  • the average thickness of the latter can be on the order of 0.7 mm to 0.8 mm.
  • the thickness of the bottom can be of the same order as the thickness of the wall of the neck.
  • the rigid structure can be made of material thermoplastic, in particular polypropylene or polyethylene, and obtained by example, by injection.
  • the rigid structure is made of metal, glass, or aluminum.
  • the assembly according to the invention can be used advantageously for the packaging, and possibly the preparation of a cosmetic product, in particular a styling, hair coloring, skin care product, or hair care.
  • the assembly 1 shown in Figures 1-3 comprises a flexible pot 2, a frame rigid 30, and a plug 40.
  • the assembly 1 is of longitudinal axis X.
  • the flexible pot is made by injection blowing from a marketed material under the Exact TM brand by DSM.
  • the body 3 delimited by a side wall 4 whose diameter decreases gradually towards a closed bottom 5.
  • the other end ends with a neck 6, which is connected to the side wall by a transverse shoulder 7.
  • a free edge of the neck 6 defines an opening 10.
  • the outer surface of the neck 6 includes a thread 8 able to cooperate with a corresponding thread provided on an internal surface of the plug 40.
  • the bottom 5 and the neck 6 are thicker than the thickness of the side wall 4 and the shoulder transverse 7.
  • the extra thickness of the neck ensures good attachment by screwing between the cover 40 and the body 3.
  • the excess thickness of the bottom 5 makes it possible to impart held in the pot when placed on a flat surface. It also allows favor the reversible attachment between the flexible pot 2 and the rigid structure 30 to which will be referred to later.
  • the bottom On its external peripheral surface, the bottom has three portions of ribs 9, spaced 120 ° apart, and intended for reversible attachment of the rigid structure 30 on the pot 2.
  • the rigid structure 30 is produced by polypropylene injection. She understands a side wall 31 of profile similar to the outside profile of the side wall 4 of the flexible pot 2. Its internal section is however slightly greater than that of the pot flexible so that it can be introduced with a slight play.
  • One end of the side wall 31 is closed by a bottom 32. This is not however not essential.
  • the side wall 31 In the vicinity of the bottom 32, on its inner surface, the side wall 31 has 3 portions 33 projecting from the internal surface of the side skirt 31.
  • the portions 33 are spaced at 120 ° and are intended to cooperate with the ribs 9 provided on the bottom of the pot 2, so as to allow the attachment reversible of the rigid structure 30 on the pot 2.
  • the engagement of the ribs 9 with the attachment portions 33 of the rigid structure is made by the rotation of a few degrees of the structure rigid 30 relative to the flexible pot 2.
  • the other end of the side wall 31 of the rigid structure 30 is open and is ends with a free edge 34. Its internal cross section is slightly greater than the external section of the shoulder 7 of the flexible pot 2.
  • the open end of the rigid structure 30 is substantially at the level of the peripheral edge of the shoulder 7.
  • the upper edge of the side wall 4 of the flexible pot 2 is slightly recessed from the edge peripheral of the shoulder 7 of the pot, of a value corresponding substantially to the thickness of the upper edge of the rigid structure 30 so that the edge peripheral of the shoulder 7 of the flexible pot 2 is supported on the upper edge of the rigid structure 30.
  • the cover 40 includes a side skirt 41 of increasing section gradually towards a free edge 42.
  • the other end of the skirt 41 is closed by a transverse wall 43. It is made of a material identical to material forming the rigid structure 30.
  • the cross section of the free edge 42 of the cover 40 is substantially equal to the cross section of the upper edge 34 of the rigid structure 30 so that, in the mounted position, the cover 40 is substantially in abutment against the structure rigid 30.
  • the user rotates the rigid structure 30 relative to the pot 2, holding the latter by the cover 40, and this of a sufficient angle for the pins 9 to disengage from the flanges 33 formed on the internal surface of the rigid structure 30.
