Definitions
- the invention relates to a substantially irreversible fixing system for a dispensing head on a metal case, the assembly obtained having to be removable and waterproof.
- An assembly qualified as non-removable is an assembly which requires an effort to separate it greater than a force close to 15 daN.
- the dispensing head can simply be a head enabling the product contained in the metal case to be dispensed through a small diameter orifice (for example: drip dispenser head, dispenser head with nozzle fitted with a plug, etc. ). It can also be more complex; for example, it can be fitted with a ball distributor or a sprayer. But whatever the dispensing device used, the head is characterized by the fact that it is made of plastic and comprises an external attachment skirt and an internal sealing skirt, concentric and attached to the same base.
- the products intended to be stored and distributed in such assemblies are in particular products intended for food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical applications (dermatological, ophthalmic, etc.) or even perfumery products.
- dispensing devices for fluid products comprising a head fixed on a container using a flange (referenced 3 in FR 2 762 589) provided with a sealing skirt and an external cylindrical attachment skirt, itself provided with a latching bead which makes it possible to fix, by simple pressing, said head on the substantially cylindrical neck of a container.
- the collar is surmounted by a housing intended to collect a pump (referenced 4 in FR 2 762589).
- a fixing system such as that described in FR 2 762589 is well suited for glass bottles and plastic cases.
- a glass bottle 1 equipped with a collar 3 provided with an orifice 8, through which passes for example the cylindrical body of a pump.
- Its neck 2 has a shoulder 4 on its external wall which makes it possible to trap a bead 5 disposed on the internal wall of the external attachment skirt 6 of the collar.
- the neck is trapped between the external hooking skirt and the sealing skirt 7.
- the dispensing device is thus held firmly on the neck of the bottle using the bead which, after pressing the collar on the neck, comes cast off on a diameter smaller than that of the shoulder formed on the external wall of the neck.
- metal containers If it is easy to obtain, by molding of glass or plastic, a shoulder disposed on the outer wall of the neck, it is not the same with metal containers. These cannot in fact be obtained by molding under satisfactory economic conditions. They are obtained either by assembly and crimping of welded rolled parts and stamped ends, or by conification by dabbing of cylindrical blanks, themselves obtained by spinning by impact of pions.
- the open end of the metal container, stamped or buffered, may be in the form of a straight or slightly conical cylindrical chimney, whether or not provided with a rolled edge at its end.
- a neck is kept in the form of a generally cylindrical straight chimney, it is possible to produce a latching groove on the external wall which has a shape complementary to that of the latching flange of the collar but the collar remains easy to separate from the neck.
- the thickness of the metal case being smaller than that of the glass bottle or of the plastic case, the assembly obtained is not leaktight. You must either make a specific flange, or use the flanges also intended for glass and plastic containers and add an elastomer O-ring. In the latter case, for a large part of the distributors envisaged in the context of this invention, the packaged product is a product intended for pharmaceutical or food applications and it is necessary to carry out numerous compatibility tests with the elastomer chosen for the seal. Whatever the solution envisaged, it increases the cost of manufacturing the assembly in an unacceptable way.
- a dispensing head to a metal case making the assembly non-removable and waterproof, said head being made of plastic, comprising an external attachment skirt and a internal sealing skirt, concentric and attached to the same base.
- this head can be mounted indifferently on glass, plastic or metal containers.
- the object according to the invention is a metal case provided with a side wall and a neck connected to said side wall by means of a shoulder, said neck being intended to be secured to a dispensing head so irreversible and perfectly liquid-tight, said dispensing head comprising a plastic collar provided with a sealing skirt and an external attachment skirt, itself provided with a snap rim on its internal wall , characterized in that said neck has a wall whose thickness is substantially equal to that of the shoulder and of the side wall and in that it has, from its open end to its connection to said shoulder, the following parts : - an open end in the form of an orifice surrounded by an edge rolled outwards, the minimum internal diameter of the neck being equal to or slightly less than the external diameter of lad ite sealing skirt;
- a second substantially cylindrical part whose external diameter is less than that of the first substantially cylindrical part, the difference in diameters being greater than two radial heights of the latching bead;
- first substantially cylindrical part and said second substantially cylindrical part being separated from each other by a shoulder, located at a distance from the open end such that, at the end of insertion of said collar on the neck, the latching bead is folded over a diameter smaller than that of the first substantially cylindrical part.
- the neck is thus trapped between the outer skirt and the sealing skirt and the dispenser is held firmly on the neck of the housing using the bead which, after pressing the collar on the neck, is folded over to a smaller diameter to that of the shoulder formed on the wall of the neck.
- the end of the rolled edge has a diameter close to the internal diameter of the external skirt of the collar.
- this is preferably always lower so as to limit the force of driving the head onto the neck while minimizing the friction force acting on said outer skirt, which allows better control of the latching force. . In the example set out below, it must remain between 20 and 40 daN with driving speeds of the dispensing head on the housing reaching 2000 mm / min.
- the wall of the neck has a thickness close to that of the rest of the container, which makes it possible to have lighter containers than glass containers. Despite its small thickness, the metal wall has mechanical characteristics superior to those of plastic containers.
- the metal of the housing can be either steel or preferably an aluminum alloy. Such geometry can be obtained by one or more stages of stamping, buffering, stamping, flow forming, spinning and / or knurling. Firstly, a cylindrical chimney is produced by shrinking the open end of a cylindrical blank obtained either by stamping and drawing (steel or aluminum alloy), or by impact spinning (aluminum alloy). This cylindrical chimney has an external diameter equal to that of said first substantially cylindrical part.
- this cylindrical chimney undergoes an additional shrinkage making it possible to obtain the substantially frustoconical part and a new cylindrical chimney of smaller diameter, from which the rolled edge is produced.
- the shoulder and the second substantially cylindrical part are for example produced by knurling.
- One or more knobs are applied to the external surface of the chimney. This (these) performs (s) a planetary movement around the chimney. This makes it possible to obtain a shoulder which has a sharp angle, that is to say with a fillet whose radius is less than 0.2 mm. In this way, the snap-fastening of the bead of the outer skirt is effective and guarantees the impossibility of easily dismantling the dispensing head (extraction force greater than 15 daN).
- Sealing is ensured by contact from the inside of the rolled edge against the sealing skirt while the neck is trapped between said sealing skirt and the external skirt. Liquid tightness is ensured and there is no need to put an elastomer O-ring.
- the metal case can be covered with a varnish on its inner wall.
- the different stamping and knurling passes described above • allow the neck to be shaped without damaging the varnish.
- the edge is rolled outwards: in this way, there is no contact of the liquid product with the bare edge of the housing wall. There is therefore no risk of corrosion of said housing or, more generally, of chemical reaction between the container and the content.
- L ⁇ Figure 1 isolates the container and its mounting flange as can be seen in the figure of FR 2 762589. Such a container can only be obtained in economically satisfactory conditions if it is made of glass or plastic.
- FIG. 2 illustrates the example set out below which corresponds to a particular and nonlimiting embodiment of the invention.
- Figure 2a shows a half front view and a diametrical half section of a metal case according to the invention.
- Figure 2b shows an enlarged section of the housing at the neck.
- FIG 2 shows a housing according to the invention intended to be surmounted by a collar such as that illustrated in Figure 1.
- a collar such as that illustrated in Figure 1.
- it is made of aluminum alloy designated 1050 according to the designation Aluminum Association.
- the housing 10 is provided with a side wall 1 1 and a neck 12 connected to the side wall via a shoulder 13.
- the side wall has a diameter of 23.6 mm.
- the neck is intended to be secured to an irreversible and perfectly liquid-tight dispensing head, said dispensing head comprising a plastic flange such as the one illustrated in FIG. 1 (referenced 3).
- the neck 12 has a wall whose thickness (between 0.35 and 0.40 mm) is substantially equal to that of the shoulder 13 and of the side wall 1 1. 11 present, from its open end 14 to its connection 15 at shoulder 13, the following parts: an open end 14 in the form of an orifice surrounded by a rolled edge 16.
- the minimum internal diameter of the neck (11.8 mm) is slightly less than the external diameter of the sealing skirt 7 (12, 2 mm);
- a second substantially cylindrical part 19 whose external diameter w (15.7 mm) is less than that of the first substantially cylindrical part, the difference between these diameters is greater than two radial heights of the latching bead (0.1 mm );
- the first substantially cylindrical part 18 and the second substantially cylindrical part 19 are separated from each other by a shoulder
- the latching bead 5 located at a distance from the open end such that, at the end of insertion of the flange 3 on the neck 12, the latching bead 5 is folded over a diameter smaller than that of the first substantially cylindrical part 18.
- the neck 12 is thus trapped between the external hooking skirt 6 and the sealing skirt 7.
- the dispensing device is held firmly on the neck 12 of the housing by means of the bead 5 which, after pressing the flange 3 on the neck 12, is folded over a diameter smaller than that of the shoulder 20 formed on the wall of the neck. 5
- the end 22 of the rolled edge 16 has a diameter 15.1 mm, close to the internal diameter of the external 0 attachment skirt 6 of the flange 3 (15.3 mm) but less than this so as to limit the force of driving the head onto the neck while minimizing the friction force acting on the external fastening skirt 6.
- the housing is made schematically as follows: First, a cylindrical chimney is produced by constriction of the open end of a cylindrical blank with a diameter of 24 mm obtained by impact spinning of a pawn of alloy d 1050 aluminum. This cylindrical chimney has an external diameter 16 mm equal to that of the first substantially cylindrical part 18. Next, the cylindrical chimney undergoes an additional shrinkage making it possible to obtain the substantially frustoconical part 17 and a new, smaller cylindrical chimney. diameter, from which the rolled edge is produced 16. The shoulder 20 and the second substantially cylindrical part 19 are obtained by knurling.
- the sinking of the polypropylene flange is carried out by requiring a latching force between 20 and 40 daN, the sinking speed reaching 2000 mm / min.
- the breakout force after maintaining the assembly for 7 days at 48 ° C is always greater than 15 daN.
- the test sealing consists in filling the housing 10 with colored alcohol, in providing it with a collar 3 not provided with an orifice 8.
- the assembly is placed above a white cloth inside an enclosure. A relative vacuum of 650 mm of mercury is created in the enclosure. After 24 hours of maintenance in the vacuum chamber, we see that the white cloth is still not stained.
- the seal against gaseous products is satisfactory: there is a maximum weight loss of 20 mg / d after maintaining the assembly filled with ethanol at nominal volume for 7 days at 48 ° C.
- Such an aluminum alloy case is usually covered with a phenolic epoxy varnish or an organosol varnish on its inner wall.
- a phenolic epoxy varnish or an organosol varnish on its inner wall.
- the deposition of the varnish is preferably carried out before shaping the neck. The different stages used for shaping the neck, described above, make it possible not to damage the varnish.
- this metal case also has very good resistance to vertical compression, the limit force being much greater than twice the maximum locking force (80 daN).
- the distributor has, with its metal case, a set of advantages which cannot be obtained with glass or plastic containers: it is in fact unbreakable, light, while offering a perfect barrier to light and the diffusion of gases and perfumes.
- the neck of the housing produced according to the invention can follow a geometry capable of adapting to the standard flanges used in addition with glass or plastic containers.
