Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of devices comprising a porous, cellular or fibrous element fixed on a support, in particular devices for the application and / or conditioning of a cosmetic product. It is known, in particular from FR 2 774 296, to fix a block of foam on a container by gluing or welding.

Description

Dispositif comportant un élément poreux, alvéolaire ou fibreux fixé sur un support Device comprising a porous, alveolar or fibrous element fixed on a support
La présente invention concerne le domaine des dispositifs comportant un élément poreux, alvéolaire ou fibreux fixé sur un support, notamment les dispositifs pour l'application et/ou le conditionnement d'un produit cosmétique. II est connu, notamment par FR 2 774296, de fixer un bloc de mousse sur un récipient par collage ou soudage.The present invention relates to the field of devices comprising a porous, cellular or fibrous element fixed on a support, in particular devices for the application and / or conditioning of a cosmetic product. It is known, in particular from FR 2 774 296, to fix a block of foam on a container by gluing or welding.
Il existe un besoin pour améliorer la fixation d'un élément poreux, alvéolaire ou fibreux sur un support.There is a need to improve the attachment of a porous, cellular or fibrous element to a support.
L'invention a ainsi pour objet, selon un premier de ses aspects, un procédé de fixation d'un élément poreux, alvéolaire ou fibreux sur un support, ce procédé pouvant se caractériser par le fait qu'il comporte l'étape consistant à, le support comportant au moins une protubérance, faire fondre au moins partiellement la matière de cette protubérance et permettre à celle-ci de pénétrer dans les pores ou cellules ou entre les fibres de l'élément.The object of the invention is thus, according to a first aspect, a process for fixing a porous, cellular or fibrous element on a support, this method being characterized by the fact that it comprises the step consisting of the support having at least one protuberance, at least partially melting the material of this protuberance and allow it to penetrate the pores or cells or between the fibers of the element.
L'ancrage de la matière du support dans les pores ou cellules ou entre les fibres de l'élément que l'on cherche à fixer sur le support, après refroidissement, permet de renforcer la tenue mécanique.Anchoring the material of the support in the pores or cells or between the fibers of the element that is to be fixed on the support, after cooling, makes it possible to reinforce the mechanical strength.
En outre, la fabrication peut être simplifiée puisque la fixation de l'élément sur le support peut s'effectuer sans colle, par exemple.In addition, the manufacture can be simplified since the attachment of the element on the support can be done without glue, for example.
Dans le cas où la mousse a reçu un traitement, et incorpore par exemple un ou plusieurs composés biocides, l'absence de fixation par collage peut permettre d'éviter des problèmes éventuels de compatibilité de la colle avec le ou les composés contenus dans la mousse.In the case where the foam has been treated, and incorporates, for example, one or more biocidal compounds, the absence of adhesive bonding may make it possible to avoid any problems of compatibility of the adhesive with the compound (s) contained in the foam. .
L'élément peut être choisi par exemple parmi les mousses à cellules ouvertes ou semi-ouvertes, les tissés, les non-tissés, les frittes, les feutres, les grilles ou toute combinaison de ces matériaux.The element may be chosen for example from open-cell or semi-open-cell foams, woven fabrics, nonwovens, frits, felts, grids or any combination of these materials.
La matière de la protubérance peut être chauffée par tous moyens, à distance ou par contact, l'élément à fixer étant ou non à son contact. L'apport d'énergie peut s'effectuer par exemple par ultrasons, par induction, par convection, par conduction, par rayonnement. La protubérance du support peut être réalisée dans un matériau thermoplastique, par exemple choisi parmi les PE, PA, PNC, PS, SAM. PMMA, PP, Acétale, voire un élastomère thermoplastique tel que par exemple EN A, PNC plastifié, Hytrel®, Pébax®, SIS, SEBS, Santoprène®, Accryl®.The material of the protuberance may be heated by any means, remotely or by contact, the element to be fixed or not to its contact. The supply of energy can be effected for example by ultrasound, induction, convection, conduction, radiation. The protrusion of the support may be made of a thermoplastic material, for example selected from PE, PA, PNC, PS, SAM. PMMA, PP, acetal, even a thermoplastic elastomer such as, for example, plasticized EN A, PNC, Hytrel ® , Pebax ® , SIS, SEBS, Santoprene ® , Accryl ® .
L'élément peut être appliqué contre le support, après fusion au moins partielle de la protubérance.The element can be applied against the support, after at least partial fusion of the protuberance.
On peut exercer une pression sur l'élément contre la protubérance du support, afin de permettre à la matière de celle-ci de pénétrer dans les pores ou cellules ou entre les fibres de l'élément.Pressure may be exerted on the element against the protuberance of the support, to allow the material thereof to penetrate the pores or cells or between the fibers of the element.
La protubérance peut être chauffée à l'aide d'un outil chauffant, puis l'outil retiré et l'élément poreux, alvéolaire ou fibreux amené au contact de la protubérance.The protuberance may be heated using a heating tool, then the tool removed and the porous, alveolar or fibrous element brought into contact with the protuberance.
On peut utiliser par exemple un outil porté à une température comprise entre 80 et 600°C, par exemple supérieure à 400°C, lorsque la matière de la protubérance est du polypropylène ou du polyéthylène.For example, a tool can be used at a temperature of between 80 and 600 ° C., for example greater than 400 ° C., when the material of the protuberance is polypropylene or polyethylene.
On peut chauffer l'outil à une température suffisamment élevée pour que la matière de la protubérance ne colle sensiblement pas à l'outil chauffant.The tool can be heated to a sufficiently high temperature so that the material of the protuberance does not substantially stick to the heating tool.
L'invention a encore pour objet, selon un autre de ses aspects, un dispositif, notamment pour l'application et/ou le conditionnement d'un produit cosmétique, comportant un élément poreux, alvéolaire ou fibreux fixé sur un support.The invention further relates, in another of its aspects, a device, in particular for the application and / or conditioning of a cosmetic product, comprising a porous element, cellular or fibrous fixed on a support.
L'élément peut être lié au support, conformément à l'invention, au moins par pénétration de la matière d'une protubérance du support dans les pores ou cellules ou entre les fibres de l'élément. La protubérance du support peut présenter, avant au moins assemblage avec l'élément, une section droite triangulaire, rectangulaire, trapézoïdale ou arrondie au moins en partie.The element may be bonded to the support, according to the invention, at least by penetration of the material of a protrusion of the support in the pores or cells or between the fibers of the element. The protrusion of the support may have, before at least assembly with the element, a triangular cross section, rectangular, trapezoidal or rounded at least in part.
La protubérance du support peut par exemple se présenter sous la forme d'une nervure annulaire, circulaire ou non, continue ou discontinue. Le support peut comporter au moins deux protubérances. Ces protubérances peuvent par exemple être concentriques.The protrusion of the support may for example be in the form of an annular rib, circular or not, continuous or discontinuous. The support may comprise at least two protuberances. These protuberances may for example be concentric.
L'élément peut être fixé au support en périphérie et/ou dans une région centrale.The element may be attached to the support at the periphery and / or in a central region.
L'élément peut recouvrir deux portions du support formant un angle entre elles, par exemple un angle droit, et comportant au moins chacune une protubérance.The element can cover two portions of the support forming an angle between them, for example a right angle, and having at least one protuberance each.
L'élément peut être configuré pour servir d'organe d'application, de tamis, de filtre, de pointe d'application, d'essoreur, de réducteur d'écoulement, cette liste n'étant pas limitative.The element can be configured to serve as application member, sieve, filter, application tip, wiper, flow reducer, this list not being limiting.
Le support peut constituer un organe de fermeture d'un récipient et comporter au moins une lèvre d'étanchéité.The support may constitute a closure member of a container and comprise at least one sealing lip.
Le support peut également être configuré pour servir d'organe de préhension. Le dispositif peut comporter un conduit d'amenée de produit vers l'élément, lequel peut être traversé par le produit avant ou en cours d'utilisation.The support can also be configured to serve as a gripping member. The device may include a product supply duct to the element, which may be traversed by the product before or during use.
La matière de la protubérance peut être différente de celle d'une partie du support sur lequel se raccorde la protubérance.The material of the protrusion may be different from that of a part of the support on which the protrusion is connected.
La présente invention pourra être mieux comprise à la lecture de la description détaillée qui va suivre, d'exemples de mise en œuvre non limitatifs, et à l'examen du dessin annexé, sur lequel :The present invention may be better understood on reading the following detailed description, nonlimiting examples of implementation, and on examining the appended drawing, in which:

On a représenté à la figure 1 un exemple de dispositif d'application 1 comportant un support 2 et un organe d'application 3, fixé sur celui-ci. Le dispositif 1 sert par exemple à l'application d'un produit pulvérulent ou liquide, prélevé dans un récipient non représenté.FIG. 1 shows an example of an application device 1 comprising a support 2 and an applicator member 3 fixed thereto. The device 1 serves for example to the application of a powdery or liquid product, taken from a container not shown.
Le support 2 comporte une paroi 4 ayant une forme générale de dôme aplati à son sommet, se raccordant à une partie de base 5 pourvue d'une jupe 6 permettant la fixation du support 2 sur le récipient et d'une lèvre d'étanchéité 7 destinée à s'appliquer de manière étanche contre une portée du récipient lorsque ce dernier est fermé.The support 2 comprises a wall 4 having a generally dome-shaped flattened at its top, being connected to a base portion 5 provided with a skirt 6 for fixing the support 2 to the container and a sealing lip 7 intended to apply sealingly against a scope of the container when the latter is closed.
L'organe d'application 3 est fixé à la paroi 4.The applicator member 3 is fixed to the wall 4.
Il est constitué dans l'exemple illustré par un élément alvéolaire, par exemple une mousse élastiquement déformable. Pour améliorer la fixation de l'organe d'application 3 sur le support 2, au moins une protubérance 10 est prévue initialement sur le support.It is constituted in the example illustrated by a cellular element, for example an elastically deformable foam. To improve the attachment of the applicator member 3 on the support 2, at least one protrusion 10 is initially provided on the support.
Cette protubérance 10 présente, avant fixation de l'organe d'application 3 sur le support 2, par exemple la forme d'une nervure annulaire de section droite triangulaire se raccordant par sa base à la paroi 4, comme on peut le voir sur les figures 2 et 3. La protubérance 10 peut être réalisée dans la même matière que la paroi 4, par moulage par exemple, mais il pourrait en être autrement, comme illustré sur la figure 9. On voit sur cette figure que la protubérance 10 peut être réalisée dans une matière différente de celle constituant la paroi 4.This protuberance 10 has, before attachment of the applicator member 3 on the support 2, for example the shape of an annular rib of triangular cross section connected by its base to the wall 4, as can be seen on the Figures 2 and 3. The protrusion 10 may be made of the same material as the wall 4, for example by molding, but it could be otherwise, as shown in Figure 9. It is seen in this figure that the protrusion 10 may be made in a material different from that constituting the wall 4.
Sur la figure 1, on a représenté la protubérance 10 avec sensiblement le même profil qu'avant assemblage de l'organe d'application 3 sur le support 2, pour faciliter la compréhension de l'invention, mais la forme de la protubérance 10, après assemblage avec l'organe d'application, peut être très variable et la protubérance 10 peut avoir au moins partiellement disparu une fois l'organe d'application 3 fixé sur le support 2.FIG. 1 shows the protuberance 10 with substantially the same profile as before assembly of the applicator member 3 on the support 2, to facilitate understanding of the invention, but the shape of the protuberance 10, after assembly with the applicator member, can be very variable and the protuberance 10 may have at least partially disappeared once the applicator member 3 fixed on the support 2.
Pour assembler l'organe d'application 3 et le support 2, on fait fondre localement au moins partiellement la protubérance 10 de manière à ce que la matière qui la constitue se fluidifie et puisse pénétrer dans les cellules de la mousse disposée à son contact, comme illustré très schématiquement sur la figure 4.To assemble the applicator member 3 and the support 2, the protuberance 10 is locally melted at least partially so that the material constituting it becomes fluid and can penetrate into the cells of the foam placed in contact with it, as illustrated very schematically in FIG.
On peut faire fondre la protubérance au moyen d'un outil chauffant porté à une température relativement élevée avant la mise en place de l'élément, retirer l'outil puis appliquer l'élément contre la protubérance fluidifiée.The protuberance can be melted by means of a heating tool heated to a relatively high temperature before the element is put in place, the tool removed and the element then applied against the fluidized protuberance.
Dans le cas où le matériau de la protubérance 10 est du polypropylène ou du polyéthylène par exemple, la température de surface de l'outil peut être de 450°C environ, par exemple, de sorte que le retrait de l'outil ne s'accompagne pas de la formation de filaments de matière plastique susceptibles d'être gênants lors de la mise en place de l'élément.In the case where the material of the protuberance 10 is polypropylene or polyethylene, for example, the surface temperature of the tool may be about 450 ° C. for example, so that the withdrawal of the tool is not accompanied by the formation of plastic filaments may be troublesome during the establishment of the element.
On peut donner à la protubérance 10, avant assemblage avec l'élément, des formes très diverses comme cela va maintenant être décrit en référence aux figures 5 à 12.The protuberance 10, before assembly with the element, can be given a very wide variety of shapes, as will now be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 12.
On peut notamment donner à la protubérance une section droite triangulaire dissymétrique, avec par exemple un côté sensiblement perpendiculaire au support, comme représenté à la figure 5.In particular, the protuberance may be given an asymmetrical triangular cross-section, for example with a side substantially perpendicular to the support, as shown in FIG. 5.
La protubérance 10 peut encore présenter une section droite sensiblement rectangulaire comme illustré à la figure 6, ou trapézoïdale comme illustré à la figure 7 ou oblongue avec une extrémité libre arrondie comme illustré sur la figure 8.The protuberance 10 may also have a substantially rectangular cross-section as shown in FIG. 6, or trapezoidal as shown in FIG. 7 or oblong with a rounded free end as illustrated in FIG. 8.
La protubérance 10 peut se présenter sous une forme autre qu'une nervure continue circulaire.The protuberance 10 may be in a form other than a continuous circular rib.
A titre d'exemple, on a représenté sur la figure 10 une protubérance 10 se présentant sous la forme d'une nervure annulaire discontinue comportant une pluralité de segments 10a disjoints.By way of example, there is shown in FIG. 10 a protuberance 10 in the form of a discontinuous annular rib comprising a plurality of disjointed segments 10a.
Le support peut encore comporter par exemple plus d'une protubérance, par exemple deux protubérances concentriques 10 comme illustré sur les figures 11 et 12.The support may also comprise for example more than one protuberance, for example two concentric protuberances 10 as illustrated in FIGS. 11 and 12.
L'invention s'applique à l'assemblage d'éléments poreux, fibreux ou alvéolaires très divers, sur des supports qui peuvent être également très variés.The invention is applicable to the assembly of porous elements, fibrous or alveolar very diverse, on supports that can be also very varied.
On a représenté différents dispositifs d'application, parmi d'autres, sur les figures 13 à 16.Various application devices, among others, are shown in FIGS. 13 to 16.
Le dispositif 15 représenté à la figure 13 comporte un manche 16 muni d'une tête 17 servant de support à un organe d'application 18 constitué par un bloc d'un matériau fibreux ou alvéolaire fixé en porte-à-faux sur une face de la tête 17, par fusion locale de la matière d'au moins une protubérance 10, à l'instar de l'exemple précédemment décrit.The device 15 shown in FIG. 13 comprises a handle 16 provided with a head 17 serving to support an applicator member 18 constituted by a block of a fibrous or cellular material fixed cantilevered on a face of the head 17, by local melting of the material of at least one protuberance 10, like the example described above.
Dans l'exemple de la figure 1, l'organe d'application 3 présente une partie périphérique qui est libre, étant fixé par sa partie centrale sensiblement au sommet de la paroi 4. Bien entendu, l'élément d'application peut être fixé différemment sur le support, par exemple en un ou plusieurs points proches de sa périphérie, comme illustré à la figure 14. Le dispositif 20 représenté sur cette figure comporte un organe d'application 21 constitué par exemple par un bloc de mousse. Ce dernier présente une face 21a fixée contre une face correspondante sensiblement plane d'un support 22 servant également d'organe de préhension et sur laquelle fait saillie au moins une protubérance 10. Cette dernière se présente par exemple sous la forme d'une nervure annulaire dont le diamètre est légèrement inférieur au plus grand diamètre de l'organe d'application 11. Le dispositif 24 représenté à la figure 15 diffère de celui représenté à la figureIn the example of Figure 1, the applicator member 3 has a peripheral portion which is free, being fixed by its central portion substantially to the top of the wall 4. Of course, the application element can be fixed differently on the support, for example at one or more points near its periphery, as shown in Figure 14. The device 20 shown in this figure comprises an applicator member 21 constituted for example by a block of foam. The latter has a face 21a fixed against a corresponding substantially flat face of a support 22 also serving as a gripping member and on which protrudes at least one protuberance 10. The latter is for example in the form of an annular rib whose diameter is slightly less than the large diameter of the application member 11. The device 24 shown in Figure 15 differs from that shown in FIG.
13 par le fait que l'organe d'application 21 a été évidé intérieurement.13 in that the applicator member 21 has been hollowed out internally.
Dans les exemples des figures 1 et 13 à 15, l'organe d'application est chargé en produit en étant amené au contact du produit par une surface extérieure.In the examples of Figures 1 and 13 to 15, the applicator member is loaded with product being brought into contact with the product by an outer surface.
On ne sort pas du cadre de la présente invention lorsque l'organe d'application est solidaire du récipient, étant alimenté en produit par une face intérieure, par exemple.It is not beyond the scope of the present invention when the applicator member is secured to the container, being supplied with product by an inner face, for example.
A titre d'illustration, on a représenté partiellement à la figure 16 un dispositif 26 comportant un organe d'application 27 constitué par exemple par une pointe en feutre ou en un fritte fixée dans un logement 29 dans le fond duquel débouche un conduit 28 d'alimentation en produit. Le fond du logement 29 est muni d'au moins une protubérance 10, au moins avant la fixation de l'organe d'application 27.By way of illustration, there is shown partially in FIG. 16 a device 26 comprising an applicator member 27 constituted for example by a tip made of felt or a frit fixed in a housing 29 in the bottom of which opens a conduit 28. product supply. The bottom of the housing 29 is provided with at least one protrusion 10, at least before the fixing of the applicator member 27.
Des protubérances 10 peuvent être réalisées sur plusieurs faces du support afin par exemple de fixer un élément poreux, fibreux ou alvéolaire sur celui-ci de manière à recouvrir une paroi arrondie 30, comme illustré sur la figure 17. On voit sur cette figure que la paroi du support comporte deux portions 30a et 30b formant un angle entre elles et sur chacune desquelles est réalisée au moins une protubérance 10. Ces protubérances se présentent par exemple sous la forme de nervures annulaires ou rectilignes ou de portions de nervures annulaires ou rectilignes.Protuberances 10 may be made on several faces of the support in order, for example, to fix a porous, fibrous or cellular element thereon so as to cover a rounded wall 30, as illustrated in FIG. 17. It can be seen in this figure that the wall of the support comprises two portions 30a and 30b forming an angle therebetween and on each of which is formed at least one protuberance 10. These protuberances are for example in the form of annular or rectilinear ribs or portions of annular ribs or rectilinear.
L'élément poreux, fibreux ou alvéolaire peut encore servir de tamis ou de filtre. A titre d'exemple, on a représenté à la figure 18 un dispositif 40 dans lequel l'élément poreux, fibreux ou alvéolaire est constitué par une feuille 41 d'un matériau perméable au produit, fixé à sa périphérie sur une bague 42 destinée à être fixée sur le col d'un récipient par exemple. Cette bague 42 comporte une jupe 43 pourvue à son extrémité d'un bourrelet annulaire servant à l'encliquetage sur le récipient et une paroi transversale annulaire 44 sur laquelle fait saillie, au moins avant l'assemblage de la feuille 41 sur la bague 42, une protubérance 10 constituée par exemple par une nervure annulaire s'étendant du côté de la jupe 43. On a représenté sur la figure 19 un dispositif 50 dans lequel le support comporte par exemple une paroi 51 ayant une forme générale de dôme, pourvue d'une ouverture centrale 52, et l'élément poreux, alvéolaire ou fibreux est constitué par une feuille 54 perméable au produit, par exemple un non-tissé, rapportée sur la surface extérieure de la paroi 51. Cette dernière comporte au moins une protubérance 10, par exemple deux protubérances 10 concentriques, dans l'exemple illustré.The porous, fibrous or alveolar element can still serve as a sieve or filter. By way of example, FIG. 18 shows a device 40 in which the porous, fibrous or cellular element consists of a sheet 41 of material permeable to the product, fixed at its periphery on a ring 42 intended to be fixed on the neck of a container for example. This ring 42 comprises a skirt 43 provided at its end with an annular bead for snapping onto the container and an annular transverse wall 44 projecting from it, at least before the assembly of the sheet 41 on the ring 42, a protrusion 10 constituted for example by an annular rib extending on the side of the skirt 43. FIG. 19 shows a device 50 in which the support comprises, for example, a wall 51 having a generally domed shape, provided with a central opening 52, and the porous, alveolar or fibrous element consists of a sheet 54 permeable to the product, for example a nonwoven, attached to the outer surface of the wall 51. The latter comprises at least one protrusion 10, for example two concentric protuberances 10, in the illustrated example.
On a représenté à la figure 20 un tamis 60 destiné à être disposé à l'intérieur d'un récipient. Ce tamis 60 comporte un support annulaire 61, par exemple de section droite rectangulaire, ayant une face frontale 61a pourvue d'une protubérance 10, se présentant par exemple sous la forme d'une nervure annulaire, sur laquelle est fixé un élément poreux, alvéolaire ou fibreux constitué par exemple par un tissé 62 ou une grille en matière plastique à mailles fines.FIG. 20 shows a screen 60 intended to be placed inside a container. This screen 60 comprises an annular support 61, for example of rectangular cross section, having a front face 61a provided with a protuberance 10, for example in the form of an annular rib, on which is fixed a porous element, alveolar or fibrous constituted for example by a woven 62 or a fine mesh plastic grid.
L'élément poreux, fibreux ou alvéolaire peut encore servir d'organe d'essorage, comme illustré à la figure 21. Sur cette figure, on a représenté un dispositif 70 comportant un organe d'essorage 71 constitué par un bloc de mousse fixé par sa face supérieure contre un épaulement intérieur 72 d'un récipient, pourvu d'au moins une protubérance 10 se présentant par exemple sous la forme d'une nervure annulaire. L'organe d'essorage 71 est traversé par exemple par une fente fermée au repos et permet d'essorer un organe d'application 75 à sa sortie du récipient. Un dispositif comportant un organe d'essorage comportant une mousse est décrit dans la demande de brevet français FR 2774296.The porous, fibrous or cellular element may also serve as a wiper member, as illustrated in FIG. 21. In this figure, there is shown a device 70 comprising a wiper member 71 constituted by a block of foam fixed by its upper face against an inner shoulder 72 of a container, provided with at least one protuberance 10 being for example in the form of an annular rib. The wiper member 71 is traversed for example by a closed slot at rest and allows to wring an applicator member 75 at its outlet from the container. A device comprising a wringing member comprising a foam is described in the French patent application FR 2774296.
L'élément poreux, alvéolaire ou fibreux peut encore, sans que l'on sorte du cadre de la présente invention, servir de réducteur d'écoulement.The porous, alveolar or fibrous element may, without departing from the scope of the present invention, serve as a flow reducer.
A titre d'exemple, on a représenté à la figure 22 un dispositif 80 comportant un récipient 81 dont le col est muni d'un réducteur d'écoulement 82 comportant un bloc 85 d'un matériau alvéolaire, par exemple une mousse, fixé sur un support 83 engagé dans le col du récipient 81. Le support 83 comporte en partie supérieure une paroi 84 pourvue, au moins avant l'assemblage avec le bloc 85, d'une protubérance 10. Le bloc 85 peut être fendu, la ou les fentes étant fermées au repos. On a représenté à la figure 23 un élément 100 poreux, fibreux ou alvéolaire, en cours de fixation sur un support 101. On voit sur cette figure que le chauffage de la protubérance 10 peut s'effectuer alors que l'élément 100 est déjà au contact de celle-ci. Dans l'exemple illustré, la protubérance est creuse, et l'outil chauffant 90 peut être disposé du côté opposé à l'élément 100, étant engagé à l'intérieur du support 101 par exemple. L'outil 90 peut comporter par exemple un organe 92 configuré pour s'engager au moins partiellement à l'intérieur de la protubérance 10, afin d'élever la température de celle-ci. Il peut y avoir ou non contact de l'organe 92 avec la protubérance 10.By way of example, FIG. 22 shows a device 80 comprising a container 81 whose neck is provided with a flow reducer 82 comprising a block 85 of a cellular material, for example a foam, fixed on a support 83 engaged in the neck of the container 81. The support 83 comprises in the upper part a wall 84 provided, at least before assembly with the block 85, with a protuberance 10. The block 85 may be split, the slots being closed at rest. FIG. 23 shows a porous, fibrous or cellular element 100 being fixed on a support 101. It can be seen in this figure that the heating of the protuberance 10 can take place while the element 100 is already at contact of it. In the example shown, the protuberance is hollow, and the heating tool 90 may be disposed on the opposite side to the element 100, being engaged inside the support 101 for example. The tool 90 may comprise for example a member 92 configured to engage at least partially inside the protrusion 10, in order to raise the temperature thereof. There may or may not be contact of the member 92 with the protuberance 10.
On peut combiner entre elles tout ou partie des caractéristiques des différents modes de réalisation qui viennent d'être décrits, sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention.We can combine all or part of the characteristics of the various embodiments described above without departing from the scope of the present invention.
