Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for packaging and distribution of a product, in particular a cosmetic or care product.
  • the or each ball has a diameter greater than that of the orifice of the flow reducer to prevent it from engaging in the reducer but can come resting on the edge of the latter, when the container is used upside down, which can obstruct the circulation of the product.
  • the dimensions of the ball and those of the orifice may be close to so that the ball, under the effect of the pressure of the product, may be likely to come stuck in the flow restrictor.
  • stable position is meant a position in which the ball, when it undergoes an elementary displacement in contact with the reducer, of small amplitude, from this position, tends to return spontaneously to said position under the effect of gravity, the container being positioned upside down, the axis of the reducer being inclined to the vertical by any angle less than 30 °, for example less than 20 °.
  • central support is meant a position in which the axis of the reducer intersects the ball.
  • a central support corresponds for example to the case where a vertical confused with the axis of the reducer passes through the center of gravity of the ball.
  • a stable central support position corresponds for example to the position that would occupy the ball if it was in support following a circle having at least diameter two-thirds of its maximum diameter, on the edge of a circular hole, possibly interrupted by slots, located at one end of a conventional reducer, this edge extending entirely in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the reducer.
  • the ball when the ball bears on the orifice and occupies a central region above it, the container being upside down, the ball moves away spontaneously, by gravity, which allows to clear the orifice and not to obstruct the flow of the product in the passage.
  • the invention thus makes it possible to produce a flow reducer devoid of battlements.
  • the invention also makes it possible to have a flow which is not too disturbed and to be able to easily produce the reducer by plastic molding.
  • the edge of the orifice has at least one portion, in particular at least two opposite portions, convex towards inside the container.
  • the edge of the orifice can be configured so as not to offer in itself more than two support points at a time at the ball.
  • the edge of the orifice is devoid of portion contained in the same plan.
  • the flow restrictor can be configured so that the ball does not can contact him at most three points.
  • At least a portion of the edge of the orifice is defined by the intersection of a tubular wall of the reducer and a cylindrical surface.
  • This cylindrical surface can extend along an axis perpendicular to the axis of the tubular wall and present a director which has a portion of a circle, ellipse or triangle.
  • At least a portion of the edge of the orifice is defined by the intersection of a tubular wall of the reducer and a ellipsoid, in particular a sphere or a paraboloid convex towards the interior of the container, and more generally any surface, in particular a quadric, generally convex towards the interior of the container, possibly including facets.
  • the tubular wall has an end edge having at least one flat portion at its periphery.
  • a serving flat can facilitate manufacturing and demolding.
  • the flow restrictor may have a symmetrical shape with respect to its axis, which can facilitate its realization by plastic molding.
  • the container has a neck in which the flow restrictor is at least partially inserted, the reducer being configured to be held by friction in the neck.
  • the passage of the reducer can extend along a longitudinal axis parallel to the axis of the neck.
  • the reducer can be made in one piece from plastic, in particular a polyolefin.
  • the container contains a cosmetic product, in particular a product comprising at least two phases.
  • the container may have elastically deformable walls, the container being able to dispense product in response to reduced interior volume when pressure is exerted on its walls.
  • FIG. 1 shows a device for packaging and distribution 1 according to the invention, comprising a container 2 having a neck 3 of axis X into which a flow reducer 4 is inserted.
  • the neck 3 has for example a inner diameter between 7 and 11 mm.
  • the container 2 accommodates at least one ball 6 introduced into it before placing in place of the reducer 4 and allowing, when the container 2 is agitated, to homogenize the product P contained in container 2.
  • This product P can for example comprise two phases to be mixed before the distribution or solid particles to disperse.
  • the body of the container 2 can have elastically deformable walls, able to return to their original shape when the user stops pressing on it.
  • the container 2 can be made for example of plastic material but it is not does not depart from the scope of the present invention when the container is made in other materials, glass or ceramic for example.
  • the flow restrictor 4 is, in the example considered, devoid of fins internal and comprises a tubular wall 11 defining a passage 8 of axis coincident with the axis X of the container, opening to the outside of the latter through a dispensing orifice 9 and inside the container 2 by an inlet 10.
  • Annular beads 5 are produced on the tubular wall 11 to retain the reducer 4 by friction in the neck 3, as can be seen in FIG. 3.
  • the reduction gear 4 bears by a collar 7 on the edge of the neck 3.
  • the tubular wall 11 has an outer portion 12 emerging from the neck 3 and converging towards the outlet orifice 9 and, inside the neck 3 and towards the orifice input 10, a cylindrical portion 13 of axis X revolution.
  • the edge 14 of the orifice 10 is defined by the intersection of this portion cylindrical 13 with a cylindrical surface 15, of director comprising a portion of circle, as illustrated in Figure 3, and generatrix perpendicular to the X axis, the edge 14 appearing convex towards the interior of the container 2 in this figure.
  • the wall 11 has, on either side of the orifice 10, two opposite flats 16, extending perpendicular to the axis X.
  • the ball 6 is spherical, being made of metal by example. Its diameter is greater than the internal diameter of the cylindrical portion 13.
  • the edge 14 of the orifice 10 does not in itself offer the ball 6 no stable central support position, since in the event that the ball 6 comes in support on the edge 14 at its top, the balance would be unstable.
  • the ball 6 contacts the edge 14 in only two points.
  • the user turns it over and possibly presses on its walls to reduce its interior volume.
  • the reduction gear being arranged so as to offer the ball no stable support position central, in itself, the ball 6 does not remain in contact with the reduction gear 4 in a portion central shutter of the inlet orifice 10 and the product can flow so satisfactory.
  • the ball 6 rolls downwards in contact with the end of the reducer when the axis thereof is substantially vertical.
  • edge 14 of the orifice 10 has another shape, being for example defined by the intersection of the portion cylindrical 13 with a cylindrical surface of non-circular director and generator perpendicular or not to the X axis, for example of elliptical director as illustrated in Figure 5 and triangular as illustrated in Figure 6.
  • the reducer can present for example two beveled regions 20 facing each other, the ball 6 cannot remain resting stably on the vertices 21 of these beveled regions 20.
  • the edge of the inlet orifice can also be defined by the intersection of the cylindrical portion 13 with a generally convex surface towards the interior of the container, for example an ellipsoid, in particular a sphere.
