Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de conditionnement selon le préambule de la revendication 1 et une poche selon le préambule de la revendication 18. Elle trouve plus particulièrement son utilisation dans le domaine des dispositifs de conditionnement de produits cosmétiques sensibles, de consistance liquide à pâteuse, tels que des oxydants de coloration et ou de décoloration, des crèmes de soin, ou encore des crèmes solaires, qui ne doivent être mis au contact de l'air qu'au moment de leur utilisation. En effet, le contact avec l'air génère des réactions de réduction dégradant lesdits produits cosmétiques, ce qui les rend inefficaces au moment de leur utilisation.The present invention relates to a packaging device according to the preamble of claim 1 and a pouch according to the preamble of claim 18. It finds more particularly its use in the field of packaging devices for sensitive cosmetic products, of liquid to pasty consistency, such as coloring and / or bleaching oxidants, skincare creams, or sunscreens, which must be brought into contact with the air only when they are used. Indeed, the contact with the air generates reduction reactions degrading said cosmetics, which makes them ineffective at the time of their use.

Pour distribuer de tels produits cosmétiques sensibles dans des conditions optimales, on utilise généralement des dispositifs munis d'un flacon à l'intérieur duquel est disposée une poche interne déformable, le produit étant stocké à l'intérieur de la poche. De préférence, ces dispositifs sont alors équipés de moyens pour la distribution du produit sans reprise d'air. Il existe donc un besoin de réaliser des poches internes à la fois souples, et étanches. Pour garantir une certaine souplesse à ces poches généralement réalisée en matériau plastique, on les réalise généralement fines.In order to dispense such sensitive cosmetic products under optimum conditions, devices with a bottle are usually used inside which a deformable inner bag is arranged, the product being stored inside the bag. Preferably, these devices are then equipped with means for dispensing the product without air intake. There is therefore a need to make internal pockets both flexible and waterproof. To ensure flexibility of these bags generally made of plastic material, they are generally made thin.

On connaît par exemple de l'enseignement du document WO-93/22,220 , un distributeur de produit à poche déformable, la poche étant insérée a posteriori dans le flacon, la poche étant préalablement formée par soudure de bordures d'une bande longitudinale sur elle-même. La poche interne étant réalisée séparément du flacon, son étanchéité peut être testée avant qu'elle ne soit disposée dans le flacon. Mais ce mode de réalisation présente l'inconvénient d'être long et fastidieux à mettre en oeuvre.For example, the teaching of the document is known WO-93 / 22,220 , a product dispenser with deformable bag, the bag being inserted a posteriori into the bottle, the bag being previously formed by welding edges of a longitudinal band on itself. The inner bag being made separately from the bottle, its seal can be tested before it is placed in the bottle. But this embodiment has the disadvantage of being long and tedious to implement.

Avec de tels flacons, dans lesquels la poche interne est rapportée ultérieurement, on peut prévoir des poches dont la paroi est formée par une structure complexe, au moins tri-couche. La structure complexe forme alors un matériau stratifié, laminé, comportant une première couche imperméable réalisée dans un premier matériau, par exemple du polyéthylène, et une deuxième couche imperméable réalisée dans un deuxième matériau, par exemple du polyamide, distinct du premier matériau. Les deux couches sont alors acollées l'une à l'autre au moyen d'une troisième couche uniforme et intermédiaire de liant ou de colle pour permettre l'adhésion entre ces deux premières couches. Cette structure complexe est ensuite découpée sous forme de panneaux, les panneaux étant ensuite assemblés entre eux pour former ladite poche.With such vials, in which the inner bag is later reported, there can be provided pockets whose wall is formed by a complex structure, at least tri-layer. The complex structure then forms a laminated laminated material comprising a first impervious layer made of a first material, for example polyethylene, and a second impermeable layer made of a second material, for example polyamide, distinct from the first material. The two layers are then glued to each other by means of a third uniform and intermediate layer of binder or glue to allow adhesion between these two first layers. This complex structure is then cut in the form of panels, the panels are then assembled together to form said pocket.

A l'heure actuelle, la majorité des conditionnements : tubes ou flacons, utilisés notamment en cosmétique, sont en matière thermoplastique. Généralement, on utilise des polyoléfines, qui sont recyclables et ne sont pas polluantes. De façon générale, les conditionnements en polyoléfine sont préparés par extrusion, plus particulièrement par extrusion-soufflage dans un moule, comme cela est enseigné du document US-4,179,251 .At present, the majority of packaging: tubes or flasks, used in particular in cosmetics, are made of thermoplastic material. Generally, polyolefins are used, which are recyclable and non-polluting. In general, the polyolefin packages are prepared by extrusion, more particularly by extrusion blow molding, as taught in the document. US 4179251 .

Notamment, on connaît de l'état de la technique un procédé par coextrusion soufflage pour obtenir un flacon et sa poche interne simultanément, notamment décrit par le document EP-0,182,094 . Selon ce document, le flacon est réalisé en PVC et la poche interne est réalisée en polyéthylène.In particular, it is known from the state of the art a coextrusion blow molding process to obtain a bottle and its internal pocket simultaneously, in particular described by the document EP-0182094 . According to this document, the bottle is made of PVC and the inner bag is made of polyethylene.

Les polyoléfines ont de bonnes propriétés d'imperméabilité aux gaz et à la vapeur d'eau et ont l'avantage d'être compatibles avec la plupart des produits chimiques.Polyolefins have good gas and water impermeability properties and have the advantage of being compatible with most chemicals.

Cependant, les conditionnements en polyoléfine obtenus peuvent présenter l'inconvénient d'avoir des micro-trous. Par micro-trou, on entend un trou tel que l'imperméabilité d'une surface dans laquelle il est réalisé n'est plus assurée localement et brutalement, relativement à l'imperméabilité globale de ladite surface. En effet, lorsque les conditionnements sont réalisés par extrusion-soufflage, des micro-trous, causés par des impuretés dans la matière plastique au moment de sa transformation, apparaissent. L'apparition de ces micro-trous est d'autant plus importante que l'épaisseur de la paroi réalisée est fine.However, the polyolefin packaging obtained can have the disadvantage of having micro-holes. By micro-hole means a hole such that the impermeability of a surface in which it is made is no longer ensured locally and brutally, relative to the overall impermeability of said surface. Indeed, when the packages are made by extrusion blow molding, micro-holes, caused by impurities in the plastic at the time of its transformation, appear. The appearance of these micro-holes is all the more important as the thickness of the wall made is fine.

Pour pallier aux problèmes de fuite, dans l'état de la technique, il est connu d'augmenter l'épaisseur de la paroi au détriment de la souplesse de la poche interne ainsi formée.To overcome the leakage problems, in the state of the art, it is known to increase the thickness of the wall at the expense of the flexibility of the internal pocket thus formed.

De préférence, dans l'invention on cherche à fabriquer un tel dispositif selon un procédé de fabrication, simple, facile à mettre en oeuvre et peu coûteux, de préférence mettant en oeuvre un même procédé de fabrication pour former le flacon et la poche interne du dispositif.Preferably, in the invention it is sought to manufacture such a device according to a manufacturing method, simple, easy to implement and inexpensive, preferably using the same manufacturing process to form the bottle and the inner bag of the device.

L'utilisation du même procédé de fabrication permet de simplifier les opérations de fabrication, par contre cela rend plus complexe la réalisation de tests de contrôle de la qualité de la production. En effet, la poche interne étant déjà à l'intérieur du flacon à la sortie de la machine de fabrication, il est impossible de tester le flacon et la poche séparément, sans perdre l'avantage d'avoir pu fabriquer ces deux éléments par un même procédé.The use of the same manufacturing process simplifies manufacturing operations, on the other hand it makes it more difficult to carry out quality control tests of the production. Indeed, the inner bag is already inside the bottle at the output of the manufacturing machine, it is impossible to test the bottle and the bag separately, without losing the advantage of having been able to manufacture these two elements by a same process.

Un test d'étanchéité d'une poche consiste à placer en surpression la cavité formée par la poche, et à mesurer ensuite, au bout d'un laps de temps déterminé, la variation de la pression à l'intérieur de la poche. Si aucune diminution de la pression intérieure de la poche n'est observée, alors la poche est considérée comme non fuyante. Le problème lié à la réalisation de ce type de tests est qu'ils ne permettent pas une détection efficace des fuites.A leakproofness test of a pocket consists in placing the pocket cavity in overpressure, and then measuring, after a determined period of time, the variation of the pressure inside the pocket. If no decrease in the inner pressure of the pocket is observed, then the pocket is considered non-leaking. The problem with performing such tests is that they do not allow effective detection of leaks.

En effet, lorsque la poche interne d'un flacon est placée en surpression, elle vient alors se coller de manière étanche sur le pourtour intérieur du flacon, à l'intérieur duquel elle a été réalisée. Ainsi si un micro-trou de cette poche est plaqué localement contre le pourtour intérieur du flacon, pendant la durée du test, le pourtour intérieur du flacon obturera ce micro-trou et le micro trou ne sera pas détecté. Si l'on effectue de tels tests d'étanchéité des poches internes in situ, la fiabilité de tels tests est très faible.Indeed, when the inner bag of a bottle is placed in overpressure, it then sticks tightly around the inner periphery of the bottle, inside which it was made. Thus, if a micro-hole of this bag is plated locally against the inner periphery of the bottle, during the test, the inner periphery of the bottle will close this micro-hole and the micro hole will not be detected. If such internal pocket leak tests are performed in situ, the reliability of such tests is very low.

L'invention a pour objet un dispositif de conditionnement pour lequel le flacon et la poche interne peuvent notamment être obtenus par un même procédé, et tel qu'on peut s'affranchir du besoin de tester l'étanchéité de la poche interne, en choisissant une structure de cette couche interne permettant d'y garantir l'absence de micro-trous.The subject of the invention is a packaging device for which the bottle and the inner bag can in particular be obtained by the same method, and such that the need to test the tightness of the internal bag can be overcome by choosing a structure of this inner layer to ensure the absence of micro-holes.

Le procédé d'obtention de la poche et du flacon est l'extrusion soufflage. La poche étant souple, pour permettre une rétractation de la poche sur elle-même, à l'intérieur du flacon, il faut absolument qu'au cours du procédé de fabrication, il n'y ait pas d'adhésion entre la paroi intérieure du flacon et la paroi extérieure de la poche. A cet effet, le flacon est réalisé dans un premier matériau, et la poche interne est réalisée dans un second matériau. Le premier matériau est incompatible avec le second matériau. Ainsi lors du refroidissement de ces matériaux, la poche interne n'adhère pas au flacon.The process for obtaining the bag and the bottle is extrusion blow molding. The bag being flexible, to allow a retraction of the bag on itself, inside the bottle, it is essential that during the manufacturing process, there is no adhesion between the inner wall of the bottle. bottle and the outer wall of the pocket. For this purpose, the bottle is made of a first material, and the inner bag is made of a second material. The first material is incompatible with the second material. Thus during the cooling of these materials, the inner bag does not adhere to the bottle.

La caractéristique structurelle innovante de la poche consiste à prévoir une poche dont la paroi comporte au moins deux couches accolées entre elles, sans l'intermédiaire de liant ou de colle, pour rester à la fois simple tout en garantissant l'absence de micro-trous.The innovative structural feature of the pocket consists of providing a pocket whose wall comprises at least two layers contiguous to each other, without the intermediary of binder or glue, to remain at the same time simple while guaranteeing the absence of micro-holes .

En effet, si l'une ou les deux couches comportent un ou plusieurs micro-trous, du fait de sa fabrication par extrusion, la probabilité pour qu'un trou d'une première couche soit en vis-à-vis d'un trou de la deuxième couche est quasi nul. La poche ainsi réalisée en double épaisseur, à partir d'un ou plusieurs matériaux d'une seule et même famille chimique, ne comporte donc pas de trou traversant. Cette garantie permet d'éviter les risques de fuites sur les produits finis. De plus, cette garantie facilite les tests d'étanchéité, car seules les grosses fuites sont susceptibles de survenir et nécessitent seules d'être détectées. Les tests pour la détection de micro-fuites, difficiles à réaliser au cours d'un cycle de production, peuvent être supprimés, ce qui améliore globalement le procédé de coextrusion de la poche dans le flacon.Indeed, if one or both layers have one or more micro-holes, because of its manufacture by extrusion, the probability that a hole of a first layer is vis-à-vis a hole the second layer is almost zero. The pocket thus produced in double thickness, from one or more materials of one and the same chemical family, therefore does not have a through hole. This guarantee avoids the risk of leakage on finished products. In addition, this guarantee facilitates leak testing, as only large leaks are likely to occur and only need to be detected. The tests for the detection of micro-leaks, difficult to perform during a production cycle, can be eliminated, which globally improves the process of coextrusion of the bag in the bottle.

L'invention a pour objet un dispositif de conditionnement selon la revendication 1.The subject of the invention is a packaging device according to claim 1.

Dans l'invention, par matériaux physico-chimiquement compatibles, on comprend des matériaux qui lorsqu'ils sont mis en contact l'un avec l'autre à l'état fondu, sont aptes à créer des liaisons physico-chimiques produisant l'adhésion des deux matériaux l'un avec l'autre. Ainsi, la cohésion des couches entre elles est de facto assurée, et l'intégrité de la poche est ainsi obtenue.In the invention, by physico-chemically compatible materials, materials which, when they are brought into contact with each other in the molten state, are capable of creating physicochemical bonds producing adhesion are understood. of the two materials with each other. Thus, the cohesion of the layers between them is de facto provided, and the integrity of the pocket is thus obtained.

Par réaction physico-chimique directe, on comprend que la réaction qui se produit entre les matériaux, dans des conditions données de température et de pression, permet l'accolement et l'adhésion des couches entre elles, les couches étant respectivement formées à partir de chacun de ces matériaux. Les réactions physico-chimiques directes excluent les réactions nécessitant la mise en oeuvre d'un liant entre les matériaux. En particulier, les réactions physico-chimiques ont lieu à des températures proches des températures de fusion des différents matériaux. Il s'agit alors de thermosoudure ou de thermofusion des matériaux des différentes couches entre elles.By direct physicochemical reaction, it is understood that the reaction that occurs between the materials, under given temperature and pressure conditions, allows the joining and the adhesion of the layers to one another, the layers being respectively formed from each of these materials. Direct physicochemical reactions exclude reactions requiring the use of a binder between the materials. In particular, the physicochemical reactions take place at temperatures close to the melting temperatures of the different materials. It is then a question of heat-sealing or thermofusion of the materials of the different layers together.

Lorsque la réaction est terminée, l'ensemble des couches est ramené à température ambiante, autour de 25°C, à laquelle on peut observer que les couches ainsi assemblées sont solidaires les unes des autres.When the reaction is complete, all the layers are brought back to room temperature, around 25 ° C., at which it can be observed that the layers thus assembled are integral with each other.

De préférence, la poche interne ne comporte que des couches réalisées en un même matériau et directement accolées les unes aux autres.Preferably, the inner bag has only layers made of the same material and directly contiguous to each other.

Avantageusement, chacune des deux couches comporte au moins 80% de sa masse représentée par un même composé ou plusieurs composés d'une même famille chimique, dans tous les cas le ou les composé(s) choisi(s) pour la réalisation de chacune de ces couches appartienne(nt) tous à la même famille chimique.Advantageously, each of the two layers comprises at least 80% of its mass represented by the same compound or several compounds of the same chemical family, in all cases the compound (s) chosen (s) for the realization of each of these layers all belong to the same chemical family.

Par "famille chimique", on entend un groupement de molécules caractérisé par la présence d'une fonction chimique particulière sur chacune des molécules du groupement.By "chemical family" is meant a group of molecules characterized by the presence of a particular chemical function on each of the molecules of the group.

Dans ce cas, et du fait que la première couche est réalisée à partir d'un composé de la même famille chimique que celle du composé utilisé pour former la deuxième couche, les deux couches sont physico-chimiquement compatibles entre elles et adhèrent parfaitement l'une à l'autre. Elles restent soudées l'une à l'autre pour former, après refroidissement, la paroi de la poche interne.In this case, and since the first layer is made from a compound of the same chemical family as that of the compound used to form the second layer, the two layers are physico-chemically compatible with each other and adhere perfectly to each other. one to another. They remain welded to each other to form, after cooling, the wall of the inner bag.

Avantageusement encore, ladite famille chimique est choisie parmi l'une des familles chimiques de polymères thermoplastiques suivantes : la famille des polyoléfines, la famille des polychlorure de vinyle et leurs dérivés, la famille des styréniques, la famille des polyoxyméthylènes, la famille des polyamides, la famille des polyesters saturés, la famille des polycarbonates, la famille des polymères sulfoniques, la famille des polyphénylène oxyde, la famille des cellulosiques, et la famille des polyuréthannes.Advantageously, said chemical family is chosen from one of the following chemical families of thermoplastic polymers: the family of polyolefins, the family of polyvinyl chloride and their derivatives, the family of styrenics, the family of polyoxymethylenes, the family of polyamides, the family of saturated polyesters, the family of polycarbonates, the family of sulfonic polymers, the family of polyphenylene oxides, the family of cellulosics, and the family of polyurethanes.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, les deux couches coextrudées de la poche interne sont réalisées à partir d'un même composé, représentant plus de 80% de leur masse. Ce même composé est par exemple de la famille des polyamides, et dans ce cas, de préférence le polyamide 11.According to a preferred embodiment, the two coextruded layers of the inner bag are made from the same compound, representing more than 80% of their mass. This same compound is for example from the family of polyamides, and in this case, preferably polyamide 11.

En variante, les deux couches coextrudées de la poche interne sont chacune réalisées à partir de deux composés distincts, néanmoins issus de la même famille chimique. Par exemple, une première couche de cette poche interne comporte au moins 80% d'un composé de la famille des polyamides, par exemple le polyamide 6,6, alors qu'une deuxième couche de cette poche interne comporte, elle, au moins 80% d'un autre composé de cette famille des polyamides, par exemple le polyamide 11.Alternatively, the two coextruded layers of the inner bag are each made from two distinct compounds, nevertheless from the same chemical family. For example, a first layer of this internal pocket comprises at least 80% of a compound of the family of polyamides, for example polyamide 6,6, whereas a second layer of this internal pocket comprises, it, at least 80% of another compound of this family of polyamides, for example polyamide 11.

En particulier, l'une des couches formant la poche interne comporte une charge, colorée ou non, de façon à colorer ou à rendre opaque ladite couche de la poche interne. Cette modification d'apparence de l'une des couches permet de former un moyen de détection de présence de la poche interne dans le flacon. La poche, si elle est colorée, est plus facile à détecter par des caméras installées sur la ligne de production et dont les images sont analysées en temps réel sur la ligne de production. En variante, des adjuvants ou d'autres molécules aux propriétés par exemple antistatiques, peuvent être incorporées dans la composition desdites couches. Des additifs peuvent représenter jusqu'à 20% en masse de la composition de chacune des couches de la poche interne.In particular, one of the layers forming the inner bag has a charge, colored or not, so as to color or opaque said layer of the inner bag. This change in appearance of one of the layers makes it possible to form a means for detecting the presence of the internal bag in the bottle. The pocket, if it is colored, is easier to detect by cameras installed on the production line and whose images are analyzed in real time on the production line. Alternatively, adjuvants or other molecules with properties such as antistatic, can be incorporated into the composition of said layers. Additives may represent up to 20% by weight of the composition of each of the layers of the inner bag.

Un autre intérêt de placer la charge colorante, ou tout autre type d'additif, dans une seule des couches de la poche est de permettre d'économiser sur la quantité de charge colorante ou d'additif à mettre en oeuvre.Another advantage of placing the coloring filler, or any other type of additive, in only one of the layers of the bag is to make it possible to save on the amount of coloring filler or additive to be used.

De préférence, la charge colorante et ou les additifs sont incorporés dans la composition de la couche intérieure de la poche, laquelle couche ne venant pas au contact de la paroi intérieure du flacon, ladite couche intérieure pouvant venir éventuellement au contact du produit à stocker. Cette disposition permet par ailleurs d'éviter des interférences avec la paroi intérieure du flacon, et notamment permet d'éviter des phénomènes d'adhésion, non recherchés, et uniquement provoqués par la présence de ces additifs ou colorants.Preferably, the coloring filler and / or additives are incorporated into the composition of the inner layer of the bag, which layer does not come into contact with the inner wall of the bottle, said inner layer possibly coming into contact with the product to be stored. This arrangement also makes it possible to avoid interference with the inner wall of the bottle, and in particular makes it possible to avoid adhesion phenomena, which are not desired, and solely caused by the presence of these additives or dyes.

La poche interne est obtenue par un procédé d'extrusion soufflage. Avantageusement, la poche interne et le flacon sont coextrudés simultanément par le biais du même procédé d'extrusion soufflage.The inner bag is obtained by an extrusion blow molding process. Advantageously, the inner bag and the bottle are coextruded simultaneously through the same extrusion blow molding process.

En particulier, le flacon peut également être réalisé en un matériau comportant au moins un composé de l'une des familles chimiques de polymères thermoplastiques citées ci-dessus. Dans ce cas, il est réalisé à partir d'un ou plusieurs composés issus de familles chimiques différentes de celle au sein de laquelle ont été choisis plus de 80% en masse du ou des composés constitutifs de la poche interne.In particular, the bottle may also be made of a material comprising at least one compound of one of the chemical families of thermoplastic polymers mentioned above. In this case, it is made from one or several compounds from chemical families different from that in which were chosen more than 80% by weight of the constituent compounds of the inner bag.

Avantageusement, le flacon est réalisé à partir d'un matériau ayant une faible adhérence avec une couche extérieure de la poche interne, notamment lors du procédé d'extrusion soufflage, pour garantir la non-adhérence entre la couche extérieure de la poche interne et une paroi intérieure du flacon.Advantageously, the bottle is made from a material having a low adhesion with an outer layer of the inner bag, especially during the extrusion blow molding process, to ensure non-adhesion between the outer layer of the inner bag and a inner wall of the bottle.

Par exemple, le flacon peut être réalisé à partir d'un composé choisi dans la famille des polyoléfines, et la poche est alors réalisée à partir d'un ou plusieurs composé(s) choisi(s) dans la famille des polyamides. Plus particulièrement, le flacon peut être réalisé en polyéthylène haute densité, et au moins une des couches de la poche interne avec au moins 80% en masse de polyamide 11.For example, the bottle may be made from a compound selected from the family of polyolefins, and the bag is then made from one or more compound (s) chosen (s) in the family of polyamides. More particularly, the bottle may be made of high density polyethylene, and at least one of the layers of the inner bag with at least 80% by weight of polyamide 11.

De préférence, la paroi de la poche interne a une épaisseur comprise entre 1/10ème et 3/10ème de millimètres. Les épaisseurs des différentes couches peuvent être égales entre elles, ou bien différentes, et dans ce dernier cas, la couche externe est généralement plus épaisse que la couche interne.Preferably, the wall of the inner bag has a thickness of between 1/10 and 3 / 10th of a millimeter. The thicknesses of the different layers may be equal to each other, or different, and in the latter case, the outer layer is generally thicker than the inner layer.

Avantageusement la poche interne présente une ouverture disposée de telle sorte qu'elle est circonscrite dans l'ouverture du flacon. Le produit peut être inséré et prélevé du dispositif par ces ouvertures. De préférence, le produit est stocké dans la poche interne.Advantageously, the inner bag has an opening arranged so that it is circumscribed in the opening of the bottle. The product can be inserted and removed from the device through these openings. Preferably, the product is stored in the inner bag.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, le dispositif est muni d'un moyen de distribution, par exemple du type des pompes sans reprise d'air, généralement appelées pompes "airless". Ces pompes sans reprise d'air sont largement utilisées, notamment dans le domaine de la cosmétique pour la distribution de produits de soin sous forme d'une seule phase, généralement liquide, notamment les laits corporels, les produits hydratants ou les produits de protection solaire. De tels distributeurs sont particulièrement avantageux en ce qu'ils permettent notamment de maintenir le produit isolé de l'air. En raison de leur instabilité en présence d'air, les produits de coloration et ou de décoloration capillaire peuvent être avantageusement distribués par de tels systèmes à pompe sans reprise d'air. La pompe peut être du type à piston, à membrane ou à clapet. De telles pompes sont bien connues, et, par conséquent, ne nécessitent aucune description détaillée supplémentaire.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the device is provided with a dispensing means, for example of the type of pumps without air intake, generally called "airless" pumps. These pumps without air intake are widely used, especially in the field of cosmetics for the distribution of care products in the form of a single phase, usually liquid, including body milks, moisturizers or sunscreen products. . Such dispensers are particularly advantageous in that they make it possible in particular to keep the product isolated from the air. Due to their instability in the presence of air, staining and / or discoloration products Capillary can be advantageously distributed by such pump systems without air intake. The pump may be of the piston, membrane or valve type. Such pumps are well known, and therefore require no further detailed description.

A chaque nouvel actionnement d'une telle pompe sans reprise d'air, le volume de la poche du flacon sur lequel elle est montée diminue d'une valeur correspondant au volume de la dose distribuée, de sorte que le produit occupe, tout au long de la durée de vie du dispositif, sensiblement tout le volume disponible de la poche interne. A cet effet, le flacon comporte un orifice de reprise d'air pour que le pourtour extérieur de la poche interne soit toujours soumis à la pression ambiante.At each new operation of such a pump without air intake, the volume of the bag of the bottle on which it is mounted decreases by a value corresponding to the volume of the dispensed dose, so that the product occupies, throughout the life of the device, substantially all the available volume of the internal pocket. For this purpose, the bottle has an air intake port so that the outer periphery of the inner bag is always subjected to ambient pressure.

Alternativement, le dispositif est simplement muni d'un bouchon pour obturer de manière étanche et hermétique lesdites ouvertures de la poche interne et du flacon. En particulier, dans le cas où le moyen de distribution serait à monter sur lesdites ouvertures uniquement avant l'utilisation, et après avoir introduit d'autres compositions à l'intérieur du flacon, et ou de la poche interne, un bouchon est alors prévu pour la phase de stockage du dispositif.Alternatively, the device is simply provided with a plug for sealingly and hermetically closing said openings of the inner bag and the bottle. In particular, in the case where the dispensing means is to be mounted on said openings only before use, and after introducing other compositions inside the bottle, and or the inner bag, a plug is then provided for the storage phase of the device.

Avantageusement, le produit est prévu pour contenir un produit du type des produits de soin de la peau et ou des cheveux.Advantageously, the product is intended to contain a product of the type of skin care products and or hair.

C'est un autre objet de l'invention de proposer une poche selon la revendication 18.

It is another object of the invention to provide a pouch according to claim 18.

De préférence, la poche souple ne comporte que des couches réalisées en un même matériau et directement accolées les unes aux autres.Preferably, the flexible pouch comprises only layers made of the same material and directly contiguous to each other.

Avantageusement, les au moins deux couches sont adjacentes, telles que chacune des deux couches comporte chacune au moins 80% de leur masse représentée par un même composé ou plusieurs composés d'une même famille chimique, le ou les composé(s) choisi(s) pour la réalisation de ces au moins deux couches appartenant à la même famille chimique.Advantageously, the at least two layers are adjacent, such that each of the two layers each comprises at least 80% of their mass represented by the same compound or several compounds of the same chemical family, the compound (s) chosen (s) ) for the realization of these at least two layers belonging to the same chemical family.

Avantageusement encore, la famille chimique est choisie parmi l'une des familles chimiques de polymères thermoplastiques suivantes : la famille des polyoléfines, la famille des polychlorure de vinyle et leurs dérivés, la famille des styréniques, la famille des polyoxyméthylènes, la famille des polyamides, la famille des polyesters saturés, la famille des polycarbonates, la famille des polymères sulfoniques, la famille des polyphénylène oxyde, la famille des cellulosiques, et la famille des polyuréthannes.Advantageously, the chemical family is chosen from one of the following chemical families of thermoplastic polymers: the family of polyolefins, the family of polyvinyl chloride and their derivatives, the family of styrenics, the family of polyoxymethylenes, the family of polyamides, the family of saturated polyesters, the family of polycarbonates, the family of sulfonic polymers, the family of polyphenylene oxides, the family of cellulosics, and the family of polyurethanes.

Avantageusement encore, les deux couches sont réalisées à partir d'un même composé, par exemple de la famille des polyamides, en particulier le polyamide 11.Advantageously, the two layers are made from the same compound, for example from the family of polyamides, in particular polyamide 11.

De préférence, une première couche de la poche est réalisée à partir d'un composé de la famille des polyamides, par exemple le polyamide 6,6, et une deuxième couche de ladite poche est réalisée à partir d'un composé différent de cette même famille des polyamides, par exemple le polyamide 11.Preferably, a first layer of the pocket is made from a compound of the family of polyamides, for example polyamide 6,6, and a second layer of said pocket is made from a compound different from this same family of polyamides, for example polyamide 11.

Par exemple, l'une des couches formant la poche interne peut comporter une charge, colorée ou non, de façon à colorer ou à rendre opaque ladite couche de la poche souple.For example, one of the layers forming the inner bag may comprise a charge, colored or not, so as to color or to make opaque said layer of the flexible bag.

Avantageusement, la poche souple forme une paroi d'une épaisseur comprise entre 1/10ème et 3/10ème de millimètres, ce qui notamment garantit sa souplesse.Advantageously, the flexible pouch forms a wall of a thickness between 1/10 th and 3/10 th of millimeters, which notably guarantees its flexibility.

Alternativement l'invention a également pour objet un dispositif de conditionnement d'un produit, notamment d'un produit cosmétique, comportant

  • un flacon, et
  • une poche interne disposée à l'intérieur du flacon et apte à contenir ledit produit, la poche étant librement déformable à l'intérieur du flacon,
la poche interne comporte plusieurs couches réalisées dans des matériaux différents et physico-chimiquement compatibles entre eux tels que chacune des couches est apte à être accolée à n'importe quelle autre couche de la poche par réaction physico-chimique directe entre lesdits matériaux constituant respectivement chacune de ces couches caractérisé en ce que la poche est obtenue par un procédé d'extrusion soufflage.Alternatively, the subject of the invention is also a device for packaging a product, in particular a cosmetic product, comprising
  • a bottle, and
  • an inner bag disposed inside the bottle and adapted to contain said product, the bag being freely deformable inside the bottle,
the inner bag comprises several layers made of different materials and physico-chemically compatible with each other such that each of the layers is capable of being contiguous to any other layer of the pocket by direct physico-chemical reaction between said materials respectively constituting each of these layers characterized in that the bag is obtained by a method of extrusion blow molding.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui suit et à l'examen des figures qui l'accompagnent. Celles ci ne sont présentées qu'à titre indicatif et nullement limitatif de l'invention. Les figures montrent :

  • Figure 1 : un dispositif selon l'invention dans un premier mode de réalisation;
  • Figure 2 : un dispositif selon l'invention dans un deuxième mode de réalisation.
The invention will be better understood on reading the description which follows and on examining the figures which accompany it. These are presented only as an indication and in no way limitative of the invention. The figures show:
  • Figure 1 a device according to the invention in a first embodiment;
  • Figure 2 : a device according to the invention in a second embodiment.

La figure 1 montre un dispositif 1 selon l'invention. Le dispositif 1 comporte un flacon 2 sensiblement cylindrique d'axe X. Le flacon 2 est réalisé en polyéthylène. Le flacon 2 comporte une ouverture 3 orthogonale à l'axe X. Le flacon 2 est surmonté d'un moyen de distribution 4 d'un produit P contenu dans une poche interne 5 disposée à l'intérieur du flacon 2.The figure 1 shows a device 1 according to the invention. The device 1 comprises a substantially cylindrical bottle 2 of axis X. The bottle 2 is made of polyethylene. The bottle 2 has an opening 3 orthogonal to the axis X. The bottle 2 is surmounted by a dispensing means 4 of a product P contained in an inner bag 5 disposed inside the bottle 2.

La poche interne 5 est à paroi souple et déformable. Elle comporte une première couche intérieure 6 au contact du produit, et une deuxième couche extérieure 7 qui peut éventuellement être mise en contact avec la paroi intérieure 8 du flacon 2. Les couches intérieure 6 et extérieure 7 sont réalisées dans un même matériau, par exemple le polyamide.The inner pocket 5 is flexible wall and deformable. It comprises a first inner layer 6 in contact with the product, and a second outer layer 7 which may optionally be brought into contact with the inner wall 8 of the bottle 2. The inner 6 and outer 7 layers are made of the same material, for example polyamide.

Les deux couches 6 et 7 sont parfaitement accolées et hormis leur formation en deux couches, l'existence d'un plan de joint entre ces deux couches reste invisible à l'oeil nu du fait qu'elles sont chacune réalisées simultanément, dans le même matériau et en l'absence d'un liant interposé entre ces couches. Dans le cas où l'une des couches comporte une charge colorante, alors le plan de joint est visible selon une vue en coupe transversale de la paroi de la poche. Alternativement, un plan de joint peut également être détecté au moyen d'un microscope lors d'une analyse d'un plan de coupe transversal de la paroi.The two layers 6 and 7 are perfectly joined and apart from their formation in two layers, the existence of a joint plane between these two layers remains invisible to the naked eye because they are each made simultaneously, in the same material and in the absence of a binder interposed between these layers. In the case where one of the layers has a coloring charge, then the joint plane is visible in a cross-sectional view of the wall of the pocket. Alternatively, a joint plane can also be detected by means of a microscope when analyzing a transverse sectional plane of the wall.

En variante, on peut réaliser la poche 5 en accolant une pluralité de couches d'un même matériau.Alternatively, the pocket 5 can be made by joining a plurality of layers of the same material.

En variante, la poche 5 peut comporter trois couches, deux d'entre elles étant réalisées dans un matériau identique de telle sorte qu'une couche intermédiaire disposée entre ces deux couches identiques soit réalisée dans un matériau physico-chimiquement compatible et apte à réagir directement avec ces deux couches. Par exemple, la poche 5 comporte deux couches de polyamide 6,6 entre lesquelles est disposée une couche de polyamide 11. En variante encore, la poche 5 peut comporter une première couche de polyéthylène basse densité accolée par réaction physico chimique directe à une couche de polyéthylène haute densité elle-même accolée par réaction physico chimique directe à une couche de polypropylène. Dans cette structure, le polyéthylène basse densité choisi pourrait également être apte à réagir physico-chimiquement directement avec le polypropylène. Dans cette structure, les différentes couches sont chacune physico-chimiquement compatibles respectivement deux à deux avec les autres couches.Alternatively, the pocket 5 may comprise three layers, two of them being made of an identical material so that an intermediate layer disposed between these two identical layers is made of a physico-chemically compatible material and able to react directly with these two layers. For example, the pocket 5 comprises two layers of polyamide 6,6, between which a layer of polyamide 11 is placed. In another variant, the pocket 5 may comprise a first layer of low density polyethylene contiguous by direct physicochemical reaction to a layer of polyamide. high density polyethylene itself contiguous by direct physicochemical reaction to a layer of polypropylene. In this structure, the low density polyethylene chosen could also be able to react physico-chemically directly with polypropylene. In this structure, the different layers are each physico-chemically compatible respectively two by two with the other layers.

Une ouverture 9 de la poche 5 est circonscrite dans l'ouverture 3 du flacon 2. Par exemple, la poche 5 comporte une bordure 10 se rabattant sur un pourtour 11 de l'ouverture 3. Le flacon 2 comporte de préférence un col 12 délimitant notamment ladite ouverture 3. Selon La figure 1, le col 12 est fileté pour retenir le moyen de distribution 4. Alternativement, comme représenté figure 2, le col 12 est également fileté pour recevoir un bouchon 13 apte à assurer l'obturation étanche de l'ouverture 3 du flacon 2 et de l'ouverture 9 de la poche 5.An opening 9 of the bag 5 is circumscribed in the opening 3 of the bottle 2. For example, the bag 5 has a border 10 falling over a periphery 11 of the opening 3. The bottle 2 preferably comprises a collar 12 defining including said opening 3. According to figure 1 , the neck 12 is threaded to retain the dispensing means 4. Alternatively, as shown figure 2 , the neck 12 is also threaded to receive a plug 13 adapted to seal the opening 3 of the bottle 2 and the opening 9 of the bag 5.

Dans l'exemple présenté Figure 1, le moyen de distribution 4 est une pompe comportant une surface d'actionnement 14 perpendiculaire à l'axe X, une buse 15 de la pompe orientant un jet de produit selon une trajectoire orthogonale à l'axe X.In the example presented Figure 1 , the dispensing means 4 is a pump comprising an actuating surface 14 perpendicular to the X axis, a nozzle 15 of the pump directing a jet of product along a path orthogonal to the X axis.

En particulier, on monte une pompe sans reprise d'air sur le dispositif 1. Dans ce cas, à chaque distribution d'une dose de produit P, le volume intérieur de la poche interne 5 diminue d'un volume égale à celui de la dose distribuée. Pour permettre une telle rétractation de la poche 5 sur elle-même, le flacon 2 comporte un orifice de reprise d'air 16. Par le biais de cet orifice 16, le pourtour extérieur 17 de la poche interne 5 est toujours soumis à la pression atmosphérique, et la poche interne 5 peut ainsi être vidangée au fur et à mesure par le biais de la pompe 4 sans reprise d'air.In particular, a pump is mounted without air intake on the device 1. In this case, at each dispensing of a dose of product P, the internal volume of the inner bag 5 decreases by a volume equal to that of the distributed dose. To allow such a retraction of the bag 5 on itself, the bottle 2 has an air intake port 16. Through this orifice 16, the outer periphery 17 of the inner bag 5 is always subjected to pressure atmospheric, and the inner pocket 5 can thus be drained as and when by the pump 4 without air intake.

Néanmoins, d'autres types de moyens de distribution peuvent être envisagés dans le cadre de la présente invention.Nevertheless, other types of distribution means may be considered in the context of the present invention.

Le moyen de distribution 4 comporte éventuellement un tube plongeur T, en fonction du mode de remplissage, sous vide ou non du produit P dans la poche interne 5.The dispensing means 4 optionally comprises a dip tube T, depending on the filling mode, under vacuum or not the product P in the inner bag 5.

Dans l'exemple présenté Figure 1, la pompe 4 est vissée, mais elle peut alternativement être claquée, sertie ou encore montée en force.In the example presented Figure 1 , the pump 4 is screwed, but it can alternatively be slammed, crimped or even mounted in force.

Par exemple, lorsque le produit P contenu dans la poche 5 doit préalablement être mélangé avec une autre composition avant d'être distribué, alors le dispositif 1 est initialement obturé par le bouchon 13, et seulement après réalisation dudit mélange, un moyen de distribution tel que 4 est monté sur le col 12. Dans ce cas, la pompe livrée séparément du dispositif 1 est prévue pour être par exemple vissée autour du col 12, au lieu et place du bouchon 13 obturant initialement le flacon 2.For example, when the product P contained in the bag 5 must first be mixed with another composition before being dispensed, then the device 1 is initially closed by the plug 13, and only after completion of said mixture, a dispensing means such as 4 is mounted on the neck 12. In this case, the pump delivered separately from the device 1 is provided to be for example screwed around the neck 12, instead of and instead of the plug 13 initially closing the bottle 2.

Dans l'exemple présenté figure 1, la poche 5 est fermée au niveau d'un joint de soudure 18. A ce niveau, les matériaux du flacon 2 et de la poche 5 étant incompatibles, une ouverture est maintenue, elle peut par exemple jouer le rôle de l'orifice de reprise d'air 16.In the example presented figure 1 the bag 5 is closed at a solder joint 18. At this level, the materials of the bottle 2 and the bag 5 being incompatible, an opening is maintained, it can for example play the role of the air return 16.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples qui viennent d'être décrits et l'on peut notamment combiner entre elles les caractéristiques des divers exemples de réalisation.Of course, the invention is not limited to the examples which have just been described and it is possible in particular to combine the characteristics of the various exemplary embodiments.

Dans toute la description, y compris les revendications, l'expression « comportant deux » doit être comprise comme étant synonyme de « comportant au moins deux », sauf si le contraire est spécifié.Throughout the description, including the claims, the phrase "comprising two" should be understood as being synonymous with "having at least two", unless the contrary is specified.
