Definitions
- the present invention relates to a container comprising a reservoir and a cover intended to be fixed on the tank by the engagement of a bead in a throat.
- the manufacturing tolerances are such that the shape and / or the dimensions of the groove as well as those of the bead can vary slightly, which can cause axial and / or lateral play between the cover and the tank.
- the game which may exist between the hoods and the tanks obtained is not always identical from one container to another since each mold has multiple imprints and that the covers from a given imprint are not not always associated with tanks from the same footprint. The number large footprints therefore leads to a number of tank-hood combinations relatively large and therefore a large number of different games.
- a container comprising a tank portion and a cover, of longitudinal axis X, intended to be fixed on the tank by the engagement of a bead in a formed groove respectively on the hood and on the tank or vice versa
- the container which can be characterized by the fact that it includes means, preferably separate from the groove and the bead, intended to limit axial movement between the bead and the throat when the bead is in engagement with the throat.
- the means may also be intended to limit movement between the bead and throat transverse to the X axis when the bead is in engagement with the throat.
- the means comprise at least one fin radial able to deform.
- the means may include several fins spaced angularly from one another, and in particular at least three radial fins arranged for example at 120 ° from each other other.
- Such fins have a relatively small thickness, namely of the order of a millimeter so that they can deform in order, in particular, to conform to the shape of the groove with which they come into contact.
- the fin (s) can (wind) be contiguous (s) to the bead. She (s) can (wind) extend axially from the top of the bead, or from its base.
- the fin (s) is (are) for example of triangular shape.
- the bead can be formed on the internal wall of the cover and the groove can be formed on the external wall of the tank.
- the groove may be an annular groove which extends in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the tank.
- the bead may be an annular bead which extends continuously in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cover. This allows in particular to obtain a relatively hard attachment.
- the bead may be discontinuous, that is to say formed by several portions of arc of angularly spaced circle extending in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the hood.
- the container 10 illustrated in FIG. 1 comprises a reservoir 20 on which comes attach a cover 40.
- the reservoir is in the form of a bottle which is intended for contain a product, for example a cosmetic product.
- the bottle is by example produced by blow molding a thermoplastic material, for example example in polypropylene.
- the product can be dispensed by a distribution 30 which comprises for example a pump, and a push button designed to activate the pump.
- the container may not have a dispensing head and that the product can be dispensed directly by opening the bottle, by simply inverting the bottle or again by deforming the walls of the bottle, when the product is in the form fluid.
- the bottle 20 comprises a substantially cylindrical body 21, of axis longitudinal X, closed at one end by a bottom 22. At the end opposite the bottom, the cross section gradually decreases to a attachment portion 23 of circular cross section, which allows the fixing the cover on the bottle.
- the attachment portion 23 comprises an annular groove 24 delimited, of a part, by a flat annular wall 25 which extends radially from the body 21 in a plane perpendicular to the X axis, to the bottom of the annular groove 24 and, on the other hand, by an annular bead 26 formed above the groove ring finger 24.
- the attachment portion 23 is connected to a neck 27 of longitudinal axis X whose free edge delimits an opening allowing the product contained in The reservoir.
- the dispensing head 30 is fixed to the neck 27, for example by means of a threaded ring.
- the cover 40 is intended to be fixed on the bottle 20 by cooperating with the portion hooking 23 of the bottle so as to close the bottle by wrapping the neck and the distribution head.
- the cover is for example produced by injection of a thermoplastic material, for example polypropylene.
- the cover can be made of polyethylene, ionomer resin (for example Surlyn®), or polyethylene terephthalate (PET), styrene acrylonytrile (SAN), or acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS).
- the cover is formed by a cylindrical skirt 41 closed at a first end by a transverse wall 42 which can be flat or curved as this has been shown in FIG. 2.
- the skirt 41 ends at its second end, by a free edge 43.
- annular bead 44 is formed near the free edge 43, on the surface internal of the skirt 41.
- the bead extends radially continuously over the entire periphery of the skirt to allow a relatively hard attachment.
- the bead 44 extends in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis X of the cover.
- the bead has a convex profile and its rounded top 440 delimits a minimum inside diameter for the hood.
- the bead connects to the edge free 43 of the cover by a chamfer 441 whose slope is such that it facilitates inserting the cover on the bottle.
- the bead is connected to the wall 41 by a portion 442 whose slope is such that it allows hooking against the upper edge of the groove 24 while authorizing the release in force of the bead.
- Radial fins 45 are formed in a plane parallel to the X axis, above the bead 44. They extend from the top 440 of the bead up to the internal surface of the skirt 41, and have an edge free 450 straight. It is obvious that they could have an edge free curve, for example concave or convex.
- the fins 45 are very fine so as to be able to deform unlike the bead 44 which is relatively rigid.
- the cover comprises for example 8 identical fins angularly spaced evenly.
- the bead 44 passes elastically the cord 26 before being housed in the groove 24.
- the free edge 43 of the skirt 41 is in abutment against the flat annular wall 25.
- the bead 44 is housed in the groove 24.
- the internal diameter of the skirt 41, above the bead is approximately equal to the external diameter of the cord 26 so that this the latter is intended to be in contact with the wall.
- the portion 442 of the bead is intended to come into contact with the lower edge of the cord 26.
- the external diameter of the cord is slightly smaller the internal diameter of the skirt 41 and / or that the portion 442 of the bead is slightly set back from the lower edge of the cord 26.
- the edge 450 of the fins comes crashing onto the bead 26 and deforms due to the small thickness of the fins to adapt to the shape of the cord 26, as is seen in Figure 3B.
- the hood cannot no longer move axially or transversely relative to the bottle.
- the internal diameter d of the skirt 41, above the bead is approximately equal to 31.06 mm, to ⁇ 0.2 mm.
- the length l measured between the free edge 43 and the junction between the portion 443 of the bead and the wall 41 is equal to 2.1 mm ⁇ 0.1 mm.
- the thickness e of the bead measured radially is equal to 0.5 mm ⁇ 0.1 mm.
- the axial height p of the groove 24 is for example equal to 1.5 mm ⁇ 0.1 mm.
- the fins 46 have a thickness of approximately 0.45 mm and extend over an axial height h approximately equal to 1.2 mm.
- the width of the fins decreases linearly along this axial height, between a lower end situated at the axial height of the top of the bead, and an upper end. At their lower end, the width of the fins is equal to the radial thickness e of the bead, then it decreases until it reaches the wall 41 at the upper end.
- the dimensions of the fins are determined according to the play to be caught between the hood and the groove. They are also chosen according to of the material in which they are made and in particular depending on the flexibility of the material. The more rigid the material used, the more fins must be thin so that they can deform and conform to the shape of the throat.
- the groove can be formed on the wall internal cover in the thickness thereof.
- the bead and the fins are then formed on the outer surface of the vial.
- the bottle in order to form the fins with precision, should preferably be made not by blowing extrusion but by blowing injection, the neck of the bottle as well as the base of the neck comprising the bead and the fins being produced by injection and the body of the bottle being blown.
- the container which has just been described comprises a reservoir in the form of a bottle but it is quite obvious that it can be formed by a reservoir of any other form, for example in the form of a pot.
