Definitions
- the present invention relates to an assembly for the conditioning and distribution of a product, in particular cosmetics.
- the cosmetic product is a perfume, a makeup product, or a care composition, in particular of the skin (see for example US-A-3 409 184).
- the glass bottle in the case of a perfume, is equipped with a pump manual actuation, fed by a dip tube with a free end located as close as possible to the bottom of the container.
- the pump is surmounted by a push button having an orifice for dispensing the product, in particular in powder form.
- the distance from the distribution element to the bottom preferably includes the distance measured along the X axis between the distribution element and the inner surface the bottom.
- the plunger structure Due to the ability of the plunger structure to compress elastically, along its longitudinal axis, especially when its end opposed to the opening, is in abutment against the bottom of the container, it is possible in dimensioning the structure forming a dip tube taking into account the bottom and bottom thicknesses of a manufacturing batch, to always have the orifice tube inlet as close as possible to the bottom, the variations in the degree of compression of the structure forming a dip tube compensating the variations of internal height of the container.
- the dip tube structure being configured so as to be able to to compress elastically, its assembly does not pose any particular difficulties, even for bottles whose bottom is thicker than the average. In addition degree of emptying of the container is substantially independent of variations thick of its bottom.
- the orifice inlet, or at least one inlet port is at a substantially fixed position relative to the axis regardless of the distance of the distribution element at the bottom within said range.
- container configurations in particular drop-shaped, that is to say of small width at their bottom.
- dip tube structure is configured as a axially compressible loop, so depending on the degree of compression of the loop, the latter is more or less crushed or open, the larger distance to the axis of the portions of the loop, measured perpendicular to the said axis, being representative of said crushing or said opening.
- the loop consists of a single tube folded on itself in contact with the bottom, the first and second ends, of which at least one is open (preferably both), the tube being connected to the distribution element, a portion of the tube located near the bottom being crossed by one or more orifices.
- the internal diameter of the tube is of the order of 0.8 mm to 1 mm, the openings in its wall, at the level of the folding area at bottom contact, which may be of a diameter of the order of 0.2 mm to 0.3 mm.
- a plurality of such orifices is provided so as to ensure adequate supply of the distribution element.
- the "holey" area of the dip tube is located substantially midway between the two ends of the tube.
- the loop is formed of at least two tubes distinct, a first open end of each tube being connected to the distribution element, the second ends of the tubes being open and interconnected by a first connecting piece in contact with the bottom of the container, and providing liquid communication between the second ends open tubes and the product contained in the container.
- the first connecting piece may be made of a material permeable to produced, in particular a sintered or a foam.
- the connecting piece is perforated so as to allow said liquid communication.
- the connecting piece can be in contact with the bottom via an edge, in particular annular, and delimiting one or more slots of to allow the product to communicate with the inlet ports of tubes.
- the first open ends of said tubes are connected to the distribution element via a second connecting piece, preferably identical to the first.
- the interchangeability of the two parts facilitates Assembly operations of the whole.
- the loop Prior to insertion into the container via said opening, the loop can be constrained in a low aperture configuration, ie reduced width along an axis perpendicular to the axis of said opening, at means of a soluble bond in the product.
- a low aperture configuration ie reduced width along an axis perpendicular to the axis of said opening, at means of a soluble bond in the product.
- Such a link may consist in particular of a gelatin type material. He must be sufficiently soluble, so as to break rapidly when it is product contact. Thus, after introduction of the dip tube into the container, the link does not oppose the axial crushing of the loop, thus making it possible not to affect industrial assembly operations.
- the container is made of glass.
- the container is blown.
- the profile of the inner surface of the bottom of the container is concave, the top of the concavity being turned in a direction opposite to the opening. It's in a configuration like this that you'll find the biggest variations in bottom thickness, and therefore internal height of the container.
- the distribution element consists of a mounted pump on the container, in particular by snapping, screwing or crimping.
- the dispensing element it is possible to pressurize the contents of the container, especially at medium of a propellant gas, the dispensing element then being a valve of the type aerosol valve.
- the thickness variation range of the container bottom may have an amplitude of plus or minus 50 ..% or more, about a mean thickness. Such a range of thickness variation can generate internal height variations of the container up to 10% or more.
- the assembly 1 represented in FIGS. 1 and 2A-2B comprises a glass container 2, intended for conditioning a perfume.
- the cross section of the container is elongated shape.
- the inner surface of the container when viewed in longitudinal section along a plane parallel to the most large dimension of the container, is of width decreasing progressively in bottom direction 3.
- the container 2 is surmounted by a neck 4 whose free edge delimits an opening 5.
- the outer surface of the neck, in the vicinity of the opening 5, has a bead 6 for crimping a pump 7, by means of a collar 8.
- the pump 7 is surmounted by a push button 9 for the manual actuation of the pump.
- the push button 9 has an orifice 10 for spraying the product.
- the assembly 1 also comprises a cap 11, intended to be mounted removable way on the container, in particular by snapping.
- the pump 7 comprises a pump body 12, one end of which ends with a tubular input element 13.
- the structure 100 comprises a connecting element 20 comprising an axial cylindrical skirt 21 intended to be fitted around the tubular element 13 of the pump 7, and two skirts 22, 23 turned towards the bottom 3 of the container, and slightly inclined outwards with respect to the X axis of the pump (which corresponds to the axis of opening 5 of the container).
- the open ends 34, 35 of the tubes 31 and 33 opposite the ends 30 and 32 are interconnected by a connecting element 40, identical to the element 20.
- the element 40 comprises an axial skirt 41 whose free edge 46 is turned towards the bottom 3 of the container.
- Element 40 also includes two skirts 42 and 43, turned towards the opening 5, and inclined outwards relative to the X axis.
- the edge 46 of the axial skirt 41 is crenellated so that when it is in support against the bottom 3 of the container, be defined one or more openings for allow the product to reach the open ends 34 and 35 of the tubes 31 and 33.
- the tubes 31 and 33 are kept at a close distance one of the other by means of a soluble link 50 in the packaged product in the container 2.
- the structure forming dip tube 100 is introduced inside the container until the edge 46 abut against the bottom 3 of the container.
- the link 50 part of which dissolves in the product, releases the two tubes 31 and 33, allowing the loop they form to compress axially in response to the axial pressure exerted on the pump.
- the pump 7 is crimped onto the bead 6 of the collar 4, via the collar 8.
- the push button 9 is then mounted on the rod of pump.
- FIG. 2A assembles the assembly 1 in assembled position with a bottom 3 of 5 mm thick.
- FIG. 2B shows the same assembly 1 in mounted position with a bottom 3 of 10 mm thick.
- the open ends 34 and 35 of the tubes 31 and 33 are in identical position relative to the inner surface of the bottom 3. They are also in position identical with respect to the X axis of the container. Both containers can be emptied in much the same way.
- the product contained in the pump body 12 is distributed in the form of a cloud of fine droplets via the spray orifice 10.
- FIGS. 3A and 3B to which it is now made reference differs from the previous embodiment in that the structure forming plunger tube 100 comprises a single tube 31 folded on itself in contact with the bottom 3.
- the two open ends 30 and 32 of the tube 31 are connected to the pump via a connecting element 20 identical to the connecting element of the previous embodiment.
- the tube portion 31 located closest to the bottom 3 is traversed by a plurality of small holes 101 for communication between the container and the plunger tube, for feeding the pump 7.
- FIG. 3A assembles the assembly 1 in assembled position with a bottom 3 of 5 mm thick.
- FIG. 3B shows the same assembly 1 in mounted position with a bottom 3 of 10 mm thick.
- the loop formed by the structure 100 of FIG. 3A is substantially less crushed axially, and less open than that of the Figure 3B.
- the orifices 101 of the tube 31 are at the same position relative to the surface 3. They are also in the same position relative to the X axis of the container. Both containers can be emptied substantially of the same way.
