Description

La présente invention concerne un ensemble de distribution de produit fluide comprenant un distributeur de produit fluide et un habillage. Le distributeur de produit fluide définit un réservoir de produit fluide, une paroi d'actionnement déformable et un orifice de sortie. Par appui sur la paroi d'actionnement, le volume du réservoir diminue, ce qui entraîne une augmentation de pression à l'intérieur du réservoir qui a pour effet de refouler du produit fluide à travers l'orifice de sortie, par exemple sous la forme d'un jet de produit pulvérisé. D'autre part, l'habillage définit une enveloppe qui entoure le distributeur, en laissant éventuellement son orifice de sortie apparent, l'enfoncement de la paroi d'actionnement s'effectuant à travers l'enveloppe. Par conséquent, le distributeur de produit fluide n'est pas visible, puisque masqué par l'enveloppe de l'habillage. L'utilisatrice appuie en effet sur l'enveloppe, sensiblement au niveau de la paroi d'actionnement du distributeur. L'enveloppe peut cependant présenter une fenêtre à travers laquelle une partie du distributeur est partiellement visible.The present invention relates to a fluid dispenser assembly comprising a fluid dispenser and a casing. The fluid dispenser defines a fluid reservoir, a deformable actuator wall and an outlet port. By pressing on the actuating wall, the volume of the reservoir decreases, which causes an increase in pressure inside the reservoir which has the effect of discharging fluid through the outlet orifice, for example in the form a spray of sprayed product. On the other hand, the casing defines an envelope that surrounds the dispenser, possibly leaving its apparent outlet orifice, the depression of the actuating wall being effected through the casing. Consequently, the fluid dispenser is not visible, since it is hidden by the casing of the casing. The user presses the envelope, substantially at the actuating wall of the dispenser. The envelope may, however, have a window through which part of the dispenser is partially visible.

Un distributeur de produit fluide utilisable dans ce type d'ensemble de distribution est par exemple décrit dans le document FR 2 791 645. Dans ce document, il est décrit un distributeur qui, à l'état initial de stockage avant utilisation, présente une épaisseur très faible. Ceci est possible du fait que le ressort qui permet de renvoyer la paroi d'actionnement déformable dans sa position de repos est complètement comprimé. L'orifice de sortie est initialement obturé par un élément d'obturation amovible qui empêche l'air de pénétrer à l'intérieur du réservoir. Le réservoir ne contient alors que du produit fluide en très faible quantité, et le ressort est complètement comprimé dans un état pratiquement plat.A fluid dispenser that can be used in this type of dispensing assembly is for example described in document FR 2 791 645. In this document, there is described a dispenser which, in the initial state of storage before use, has a thickness very weak. This is possible because the spring which makes it possible to return the deformable actuating wall to its rest position is completely compressed. The outlet port is initially closed by a removable closure member that prevents air from entering the tank. The tank then contains only fluid in very small quantities, and the spring is completely compressed in a substantially flat state.

Un tel distributeur de l'art antérieur peut aisément être disposé dans une enveloppe d'habillage de manière à l'entourer complètement à l'exception de l'orifice de sortie. Il est avantageux que l'enveloppe présente une échancrure ou une pré-découpe permettant le retrait aisé de l'élément d'obturation amovible pour démasquer l'orifice de sortie.Such a dispenser of the prior art can easily be placed in a casing envelope so as to surround it completely except for the outlet orifice. It is advantageous that the envelope has a notch or a pre-cut allowing the easy removal of the removable closure element to unmask the outlet orifice.

Bien que l'enveloppe du distributeur offre déjà une surface acceptable pour l'apposition d'indication, telle que la marque, la nature et l'utilisation du produit, il est parfois nécessaire de disposer de plus de surface d'apposition. En outre, la simple enveloppe entourant le distributeur n'est pas particulièrement esthétique. Dans le cas de parfum par exemple, il peut être avantageux que l'ensemble de distribution évoque la forme du flacon de parfum vendu dans le commerce.Although the dispenser casing already provides an acceptable surface for affixing indications, such as the brand, the nature and the use of the product, it is sometimes necessary to have more area of affixing. In addition, the simple envelope surrounding the dispenser is not particularly aesthetic. In the case of perfume for example, it may be advantageous for the dispensing assembly to evoke the shape of the perfume bottle sold commercially.

Pour remédier à ces inconvénients de l'art antérieur, la présente invention prévoit que l'habillage comprend en outre un volet articulé rabattable sur l'enveloppe de manière à venir en superposition, le volet étant solidaire de l'enveloppe par un bord latéral, le volet comprenant une face interne destinée à venir en contact de l'enveloppe lorsque le volet est rabattu sur l'enveloppe et une face externe. Le rajout de ce volet articulé rabattable sur l'enveloppe double la surface d'apposition utile de l'ensemble de distribution, et permet également de protéger l'enveloppe particulièrement au niveau où elle recouvre la paroi d'actionnement déformable du distributeur. L'ensemble de distribution se présente alors sous la forme d'un petit livret, qui à l'état fermé présente la face externe du volet articulé, et qui à l'état ouvert présente la face interne de l'enveloppe et la face interne du volet. Une fois ouvert, l'utilisatrice peut actionner le distributeur en pressant sur l'enveloppe. Un tel ensemble est décrit dans la revendication 1.To remedy these disadvantages of the prior art, the present invention provides that the covering further comprises an articulated flap foldable on the envelope so as to come in superposition, the flap being secured to the envelope by a lateral edge, the flap comprising an inner face intended to come into contact with the envelope when the flap is folded over the envelope and an outer face. The addition of this folding hinged flap on the casing doubles the useful apposition surface of the dispensing assembly, and also protects the envelope particularly at the level where it covers the deformable actuating wall of the dispenser. The distribution assembly is then in the form of a small booklet, which in the closed state has the outer face of the hinged flap, and which in the open state has the inner face of the casing and the inner face. of the shutter. Once opened, the user can operate the dispenser by pressing on the envelope. Such an assembly is described in claim 1.

Avantageusement, la face externe incorpore une partie en relief définissant un volume interne, ladite partie en relief faisant saillie vers l'avant à partir de la face externe. Ainsi, à l'état fermé, seule la partie en relief de la face externe du volet est visible, le distributeur étant complètement masqué par l'enveloppe et le volet rabattu. Avantageusement, la partie en relief présente la forme d'un flacon de parfum. Ainsi, l'utilisatrice peut immédiatement reconnaître la forme du flacon de parfum effectivement vendu dans le commerce. De ce fait, l'ensemble de distribution selon l'invention se prête particulièrement à un usage en tant qu'échantillon librement distribué dans les magasins à titre promotionnel et de test. Après avoir actionné le distributeur, l'utilisatrice peut acheter un flacon de parfum dont la forme et le design figurent déjà sur la face externe du volet au niveau de la partie en relief. Ainsi, cet ensemble de distribution/échantillon permet d'une part de prendre connaissance des caractéristiques intrinsèques du parfum et d'autre part de reconnaître le flacon de parfum réellement vendu dans le commerce. En somme, cet ensemble de distribution donne une double indication liée au contenu et au contenant du parfum. Bien entendu, le parfum peut être remplacé par n'importe quel produit fluide, tel qu'une lotion, une laque, un solvant, un dissolvant, etc.Advantageously, the outer face incorporates a raised portion defining an internal volume, said raised portion projecting forwardly from the outer face. Thus, in the closed state, only the raised portion of the outer face of the flap is visible, the dispenser being completely hidden by the envelope and the flap folded. Advantageously, the raised portion has the shape of a perfume bottle. Thus, the user can immediately recognize the shape of the perfume bottle actually sold commercially. Therefore, the dispensing assembly according to the invention is particularly suitable for use as a sample freely distributed in stores for promotional and test purposes. After having operated the dispenser, the user can buy a perfume bottle whose shape and design are already on the outer face of the flap at the level of the raised part. Thus, this dispensing / sample assembly makes it possible, on the one hand, to take cognizance of the intrinsic characteristics of the perfume and, on the other hand, to recognize the bottle of perfume actually sold commercially. In short, this distribution set gives a double indication related to the content and the container of the perfume. Of course, the perfume can be replaced by any fluid, such as a lotion, a lacquer, a solvent, a solvent, etc.

Bien qu'une forme en relief soit préférée, il est également possible que la face externe du volet ne comprenne qu'une représentation graphique en deux dimensions.Although a relief shape is preferred, it is also possible that the outer face of the flap comprises only a two-dimensional graphical representation.

Toutefois, la partie en relief est préférée et peut par exemple contenir un produit : ce produit peut être identique à celui du distributeur, mais il peut également s'agir du produit associé au produit du distributeur ou un produit de la même gamme que celui du distributeur. Par exemple, le distributeur peut contenir un parfum et la partie en relief peut contenir une crème ou un maquillage.However, the relief portion is preferred and may for example contain a product: this product may be identical to that of the dispenser, but it may also be the product associated with the dispenser product or a product of the same range as that of the dispenser. distributor. For example, the dispenser may contain a perfume and the raised portion may contain a cream or makeup.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, la face interne du volet est pourvue d'une partie pelable ou arrachable formant une ouverture pour accéder à l'arrière de la partie en relief. De préférence, la partie en relief fait partie d'un insert en prise entre deux feuilles formant respectivement la face externe et la face interne du volet. Il est ainsi possible d'extraire l'insert du volet par la face interne en retirant la partie arrachable ou pelable.According to a feature of the invention, the inner face of the flap is provided with a peelable or tear-off portion forming an opening for accessing the rear of the raised portion. Preferably, the raised portion is part of an insert engaged between two sheets respectively forming the outer face and the inner face of the flap. It is thus possible to extract the insert of the shutter by the inner face by removing the tear-off or peelable part.

Selon une forme de réalisation pratique, la face externe du volet est formée avec une fenêtre à travers laquelle la partie en relief fait saillie. Ainsi, seule la partie en relief est visible à travers la fenêtre et le reste où la base de l'insert est disposée et cachée entre les deux feuilles formant le volet articulé.According to a practical embodiment, the outer face of the flap is formed with a window through which the raised portion projects. Thus, only the raised portion is visible through the window and the rest where the base of the insert is disposed and hidden between the two sheets forming the hinged flap.

De manière similaire, l'enveloppe comprend deux feuilles entre lesquelles est disposé le distributeur, qui est avantageusement fixé à une des feuilles. Selon une autre forme de réalisation pratique, le volet et l'enveloppe sont réalisés de manière monobloc. L'habillage peut être réalisé à partir d'une seule et même feuille de carton, de plastique, de métal ou un composé de ceux-ci.Similarly, the envelope comprises two sheets between which is arranged the dispenser, which is advantageously attached to one of the sheets. According to another practical embodiment, the shutter and the envelope are made integrally. The dressing can be made from a single sheet of cardboard, plastic, metal or a compound thereof.

L'invention sera maintenant plus amplement décrite en référence aux dessins joints donnant à titre d'exemples non limitatifs deux modes de réalisation de l'invention.The invention will now be more fully described with reference to the accompanying drawings giving by way of nonlimiting examples two embodiments of the invention.

Sur les figures :

  • la figure 1 est une vue schématique en perspective d'un ensemble de distribution selon l'invention en cours de montage,
  • la figure 2 est une vue de l'ensemble de distribution de la figure 1 à l'état monté et ouvert,
  • la figure 3 est une vue similaire à celle de la figure 1 pour un second mode de réalisation de l'invention, et
  • la figure 4 est une vue similaire à celle de la figure 2 pour le mode de réalisation de la figure 3.
In the figures:
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a distribution assembly according to the invention being assembled,
  • FIG. 2 is a view of the distribution assembly of FIG. 1 in the assembled and open state,
  • FIG. 3 is a view similar to that of FIG. 1 for a second embodiment of the invention, and
  • FIG. 4 is a view similar to that of FIG. 2 for the embodiment of FIG. 3.

Dans les deux modes de réalisation qui vont être décrits ci-après, le distributeur de produit fluide désigné par la référence numérique 1 peut être le même. Il peut être conforme ou identique à celui décrit dans le document FR 2 791645 précité. Ce distributeur 1 comprend un réservoir 11 formé par deux feuilles soudées ensemble sur leur périphérie. Ce réservoir 11 comprend une ou deux parois d'actionnement 12 formées sur une ou les deux faces des feuilles soudées ensemble et formant le réservoir 11. Le distributeur 1 définit également un orifice de sortie 13 qui est de préférence un orifice de pulvérisation. Pour masquer cet orifice de sortie 13, il est prévu un organe d'obturation amovible 14 qui peut être arraché ou replié afin de démasquer l'orifice de sortie 13. Il est également avantageux que le distributeur 1 soit pourvu d'un ressort de rappel qui permet de solliciter la ou les parois d'actionnement et de ce fait le réservoir en position de repos définissant un volume maximal du réservoir. Ce ressort peut être situé à l'intérieur du réservoir 11, mais également à l'extérieur hors de contact du produit fluide contenu dans le réservoir 11. De préférence, avant utilisation, c'est à dire lorsque l'organe d'obturation amovible 14 obture l'orifice de sortie 13, le réservoir 11 ne contient pratiquement que du produit fluide en très faible quantité, de sorte que son volume est minimum, voire pratiquement nul. Du fait que l'organe d'obturation amovible obture l'orifice de sortie 13, l'air ne peut pas pénétrer dans le réservoir et le ressort ne peut pas se détendre. Par conséquent il est comprimé dans son état maximum de sorte que le réservoir 11 ne présente qu'une très faible épaisseur, de préférence inférieure ou égale à deux millimètres. En revanche, dès que l'on retire l'organe d'obturation amovible 14, l'air pénètre à l'intérieur du réservoir par l'orifice de sortie 13 et le ressort peut se détendre pour amener le réservoir dans son volume utile maximal. Pour obtenir un jet de produit fluide, il suffit alors d'appuyer sur la ou les parois d'actionnement 12 à l'encontre du ressort pour obtenir un jet biphasique d'air et de produit fluide. Un tel distributeur est avantageux dans le cadre de l'ensemble de distribution selon l'invention, mais il ne doit pas être considéré comme unique. Il offre cependant des avantages liées à sa faible épaisseur avant utilisation et à sa pulvérisation biphasique de très bonne qualité.In both embodiments which will be described hereinafter, the fluid dispenser designated by numeral 1 may be the same. It may be in accordance with or identical to that described in document FR 2 791645 mentioned above. This dispenser 1 comprises a reservoir 11 formed by two sheets welded together on their periphery. This reservoir 11 comprises one or two actuating walls 12 formed on one or both sides of the sheets welded together and forming the reservoir 11. The distributor 1 also defines an outlet orifice 13 which is preferably a spray orifice. To mask this outlet orifice 13, there is provided a removable closure member 14 which can be torn off or folded in order to unmask the outlet orifice 13. It is also advantageous for the distributor 1 to be provided with a return spring. which makes it possible to stress the actuating wall or walls and thus the tank in the rest position defining a maximum volume of the tank. This spring can be located inside the reservoir 11, but also outside the fluid product contained in the reservoir 11 is not exposed. Preferably, before use, that is to say when the removable closure member 14 closes the outlet port 13, the reservoir 11 contains substantially only the fluid in very small quantities, so that its volume is minimum or practically zero. Due to the fact that the removable closure member closes the outlet orifice 13, the air can not get into the tank and the spring can not relax. Therefore it is compressed in its maximum state so that the reservoir 11 has a very small thickness, preferably less than or equal to two millimeters. On the other hand, as soon as the removable closure member 14 is removed, the air enters the tank through the outlet orifice 13 and the spring can be released to bring the tank to its maximum working volume. . To obtain a jet of fluid product, it is then sufficient to press the actuating wall or walls 12 against the spring to obtain a two-phase jet of air and fluid. Such a dispenser is advantageous in the context of the dispensing assembly according to the invention, but it should not be considered as unique. However, it offers advantages due to its low thickness before use and its two-phase spray of very good quality.

L'habillage 2 peut être réalisé à partir d'une seule et même feuille de papier, de carton, de matière plastique, de métal ou un composé ou laminé de ceux-ci. Par conséquent, l'habillage 2 peut être monobloc.The covering 2 can be made from a single sheet of paper, cardboard, plastic, metal or a compound or laminate thereof. Therefore, the cladding 2 can be monobloc.

L'habillage 2 comprend une enveloppe formée de deux feuilles 21 et 22 : la feuille 21 constituant une feuille de dos ou de base et la feuille 22 constituant une feuille de rabat reliée à la feuille de dos 21 par une ligne d'articulation et de liaison 212. La feuille de rabat 22 est donc articulée et repliable en superposition sur la feuille de dos 21. Le distributeur de produit fluide 1 est disposé entre les deux feuilles 21 et 22, qui une fois rabattues l'une sur l'autre forment une enveloppe entourant le distributeur 1. Les deux feuilles 21 et 22 forment chacune une échancrure 211, 221 au niveau de la ligne de liaison 2I2, de sorte qu'une fois rabattues l'une sur l'autre, les échancrures 211 et 221 viennent en superposition l'une de l'autre pour former une échancrure unique au niveau de laquelle est situé l'orifice de sortie 13, et plus particulièrement son organe d'obturation amovible 14 qui est ainsi accessible pour être retiré de l'orifice 13. Ceci est clairement visible sur la figure 2. A la place de l'échancrure 211, 221, il est également possible que l'enveloppe 21, 22 forme une partie arrachable recouvrant l'organe d'obturation amovible 14. Le distributeur 1 peut avantageusement être fixé par adhésion à une des feuilles, et de préférence à la feuille de dos 21 avant de rabattre la feuille de rabat 22 sur la feuille de dos 21. Pour fermer l'enveloppe, la feuille de rabat 22 peut avantageusement être collée sur sa périphérie à la feuille de dos 21. La ligne de liaison 212 forme alors le bord supérieur de l'ensemble de distribution avec son échancrure à l'intérieur de laquelle est logé l'organe d'obturation amovible 14 du distributeur 1.The covering 2 comprises an envelope formed of two sheets 21 and 22: the sheet 21 forming a back or base sheet and the sheet 22 constituting a flap sheet connected to the back sheet 21 by a line of articulation and 212. The flap sheet 22 is articulated and collapsible superimposed on the back sheet 21. The fluid dispenser 1 is disposed between the two sheets 21 and 22, which once folded on top of one another form an envelope surrounding the dispenser 1. The two sheets 21 and 22 each form a notch 211, 221 at the connecting line 2I2, so that when folded one on the other, the notches 211 and 221 come superimposed on each other to form a single notch at which the outlet orifice 13 is located, and more particularly its removable closure member 14 which is thus accessible to be removed from the orifice 13. This is clearly visib 2 in place of the notch 211, 221, it is also possible for the casing 21, 22 to form a tear-off portion covering the removable closure member 14. The dispenser 1 may advantageously be fixed by adhesion to one of the leaves, and preferably to back sheet 21 before folding the flap sheet 22 on the back sheet 21. To close the envelope, the flap sheet 22 can advantageously be glued on its periphery to the back sheet 21. The connecting line 212 form then the upper edge of the dispensing assembly with its indentation within which is housed the removable closure member 14 of the dispenser 1.

Etant donné que le distributeur 1 est particulièrement plat avant utilisation, l'enveloppe ne présente qu'une très faible épaisseur de sorte qu'elle semble ne rien contenir. L'épaisseur de l'enveloppe n'excède pas trois millimètres.Since the dispenser 1 is particularly flat before use, the envelope has a very thin so that it seems to contain nothing. The thickness of the envelope does not exceed three millimeters.

L'habillage 2 forme également un volet formé de deux feuilles 23 et 24 reliées l'une à l'autre par une ligne de liaison et de pliage 234. Le volet est également relié à l'enveloppe 21, 22 par une bride de tranche 25 qui relie la feuille de dos 21 et la feuille 23 du volet. Le volet est ainsi articulé et rabattable sur l'enveloppe par pivotement autour de la bride de tranche 25. La feuille 23 constitue une feuille de base alors que la feuille 24 constitue une feuille de rabat pouvant être amenée par pivotement autour de la ligne 234 en superposition de la feuille de base 23. La feuille de rabat 23 peut être assemblée à la feuille de base 23 sur leur périphérie comme c'est le cas pour l'enveloppe.The covering 2 also forms a shutter formed of two sheets 23 and 24 connected to one another by a connecting and folding line 234. The shutter is also connected to the envelope 21, 22 by a slice flange. 25 which connects the back sheet 21 and the leaf 23 of the flap. The flap is thus hinged and foldable on the envelope by pivoting around the slice flange 25. The sheet 23 constitutes a base sheet while the sheet 24 constitutes a flap sheet that can be pivotally brought about the line 234. superposition of the base sheet 23. The flap sheet 23 can be assembled to the base sheet 23 on their periphery as is the case for the envelope.

Une fois les deux feuilles de rabat 22 et 24 rabattues et reliées à leurs feuilles de base 21 et 23, le volet peut être rabattu sur l'enveloppe de manière à ce que la feuille de rabat 24 vienne en contact avec la feuille de rabat 22. L'ensemble de distribution se présente alors sous la forme d'un livret avec la feuille de base 23 formant la couverture, les feuilles de rabat 24 et 22 formant l'intérieur du livret et la feuille de base 21 formant la face arrière du livret. La bride de tranche 25 relie les deux feuillets du livret à la manière d'un livre classique. La feuille de base 23 du volet articulé forme la face extérieure du volet alors que la feuille de rabat 24 forme la face interne du volet. L'adjonction d'un volet permet de doubler la surface utile d'apposition de l'ensemble de distribution et permet également de masquer et de protéger le distributeur 1 disposé dans l'enveloppe. Il s'agit là d'une réalisation très simple pour l'ensemble de distribution selon l'invention.Once the two flap sheets 22 and 24 folded and connected to their base sheets 21 and 23, the flap can be folded over the envelope so that the flap sheet 24 comes into contact with the flap sheet 22 The distribution assembly is then in the form of a booklet with the base sheet 23 forming the cover, the flap sheets 24 and 22 forming the inside of the booklet and the base sheet 21 forming the rear face of the booklet. booklet. The slice flange 25 connects the two sheets of the booklet in the manner of a classic book. The base sheet 23 of the hinged flap forms the outer face of the flap while the flap sheet 24 forms the inner face of the flap. The addition of a flap doubles the usable area of apposition of the dispensing assembly and also masks and protect the dispenser 1 disposed in the envelope. This is a very simple realization for the distribution assembly according to the invention.

Selon une forme de réalisation avantageuse plus élaborée, le volet peut inclure un insert 3 formant une partie en relief 31 qui fait saillie sur la face externe, c'est à dire sur la feuille de base 23 du volet. Une fenêtre 231 peut être découpée dans la feuille de base 23, et la partie en relief 31 est logée dans cette fenêtre 231 en faisant saillie vers l'avant lorsque le livret est fermé. Ainsi, seule la partie en relief 31 est visible à travers la fenêtre 231, la face arrière de l'insert 3 étant complètement masquée par la feuille de rabat 24 qui vient compléter le volet articulé.According to a more elaborate advantageous embodiment, the flap may include an insert 3 forming a raised part 31 which projects on the external face, ie on the base sheet 23 of the flap. A window 231 can be cut in the base sheet 23, and the raised portion 31 is housed in this window 231 protruding forward when the booklet is closed. Thus, only the raised portion 31 is visible through the window 231, the rear face of the insert 3 being completely hidden by the flap sheet 24 which completes the hinged flap.

La partie en relief 31 de l'insert 3 peut par exemple se présenter sous la forme d'un flacon qui peut avantageusement avoir l'aspect du véritable flacon de parfum vendu dans le commerce et dont un échantillon est disponible par le distributeur 1. En réalité, la partie en relief ne forme pas un flacon de parfum dans sa totalité, mais seulement la face latérale visible du flacon de parfum. La partie en relief peut par exemple se présenter sous la forme d'une moitié de flacon de parfum coupé transversalement selon un plan vertical.The raised portion 31 of the insert 3 may for example be in the form of a bottle which may advantageously have the appearance of the real bottle of perfume sold in the trade and a sample of which is available from the dispenser 1. In reality, the raised part does not form a perfume bottle in its entirety, but only the visible side face of the perfume bottle. The raised portion may for example be in the form of a perfume bottle half cut transversely in a vertical plane.

L'insert 3 peut par exemple être réalisé à partir d'une coque avantageusement thermoformée auquel est relié par exemple par soudage un film operculaire. L'insert 3 forme ainsi un pourtour plat 32 et la partie en relief 31 est située de manière sensiblement centrale. Une fois disposée au niveau de la fenêtre 231, la feuille de rabat 24 peut être rabattue sur la feuille de base 23 de sorte que le pourtour plat 32 est prisonnier entre les deux feuilles 23 et 24 et la partie en relief 31 visible et saillante à travers la fenêtre 231. Il n'est ainsi même pas nécessaire de fixer l'insert 3 entre les deux feuilles 23 et 24.The insert 3 may for example be made from a shell which is advantageously thermoformed to which is connected for example by welding an opercular film. The insert 3 thus forms a flat periphery 32 and the raised portion 31 is located substantially centrally. Once disposed at the window 231, the flap sheet 24 can be folded down on the base sheet 23 so that the flat periphery 32 is trapped between the two sheets 23 and 24 and the raised portion 31 visible and protruding at through the window 231. It is thus not even necessary to fix the insert 3 between the two sheets 23 and 24.

Dans une variante de réalisation représentée sur les figures 1 et 2, la partie en relief 31 de l'insert 3 peut contenir un produit fluide qui peut être identique à celui du distributeur 1, mais qui peut également être d'une autre nature. L'insert 3 se présente alors sous la forme d'un conditionnement avec sa partie en relief 31 formant un réservoir. L'insert 3 peut également former une languette arrachable ou repliable 34 permettant de réaliser une ouverture au niveau d'une ligne de moindre résistance 33. Le produit stocké à l'intérieur de la partie en relief peut alors être extrait de l'insert 3 par exemple par appui et enfoncement de la partie en relief 31. L'insert 3 qui est disposé et prisonnier à l'intérieur du volet est avantageusement accessible après retrait d'une partie arrachable ou pelable 241 formée par la feuille de rabat 24. Cette partie arrachable ou pelable 241 peut être retirée au niveau de ligne de moindre résistance 242 comme on peut le voir sur la figure 2. L'insert 3 peut alors être retiré du volet pour s'en servir.In an alternative embodiment shown in Figures 1 and 2, the raised portion 31 of the insert 3 may contain a fluid which may be identical to that of the distributor 1, but which may also be of another nature. The insert 3 is then in the form of a package with its raised portion 31 forming a reservoir. The insert 3 can also form a tear-off or foldable tongue 34 making it possible to make an opening at a line of least resistance 33. The product stored inside the raised portion can then be extracted from the insert 3 for example by support and depression of the part 31. The insert 3 which is disposed and trapped inside the flap is advantageously accessible after removal of a peelable or peelable portion 241 formed by the flap sheet 24. This peelable or peelable portion 241 can be removed at line level of least resistance 242 as can be seen in Figure 2. The insert 3 can then be removed from the flap to use it.

Il est à noter que l'orifice de sortie 13 du distributeur 1 est situé sur un bord de l'habillage, en l'occurrence sur le bord supérieur adjacent à la bride de tranche 25, ou plus généralement le bord d'articulation du volet. Avantageusement, l'axe de l'orifice de sortie s'étend dans le plan du distributeur et de l'habillage. Ainsi, le volet ne coupe pas, ni même ne gêne, le jet de produit fluide à la sortie de l'orifice, même au cas où le volet est rabattu sur le distributeur. Par conséquent, on peut actionner le distributeur alors que le volet est rabattu en appuyant tout simplement sur l'insert. Ceci est particulièrement avantageux, surtout si l'insert a l'aspect du véritable distributeur du commerce. L'utilisateur peut alors appuyer directement sur l'effigie du distributeur et un jet de produit fluide, avantageusement pulvérisé, est émis. Dans ce cas, le distributeur est totalement masqué.It should be noted that the outlet orifice 13 of the distributor 1 is located on one edge of the covering, in this case on the upper edge adjacent to the slice flange 25, or more generally the flap hinge edge. . Advantageously, the axis of the outlet orifice extends in the plane of the distributor and the covering. Thus, the shutter does not cut, nor even discomfort, the jet of fluid product at the outlet of the orifice, even in the case where the flap is folded down on the dispenser. Therefore, it can operate the dispenser while the flap is folded by simply pressing the insert. This is particularly advantageous, especially if the insert has the appearance of the true commercial distributor. The user can then press directly on the effigy of the dispenser and a stream of fluid, preferably sprayed, is emitted. In this case, the dispenser is completely hidden.

Grâce à ce volet articulé et rabattable sur l'enveloppe, on augmente considérablement la surface d'apposition, mais ce volet peut également servir de support à une représentation esthétique d'un flacon, ou plus avantageusement encore à un conditionnement promotionnel de produit fluide.Thanks to this hinged and foldable flap on the envelope, the apposition surface is considerably increased, but this flap can also serve as a support for an aesthetic representation of a bottle, or more advantageously still for promotional packaging of fluid product.
