Definitions
- the invention relates to a method of opening a receptacle such as a cartridge for example for the distribution of a liquid, viscous or pasty product such as • putty, through a cannula coming to bear on the tip of the receptacle initially closed before use and subsequently perforated, for dispensing the product.
- the invention also relates to receptacles with a particular tip implementing this opening method.
- a receptacle with a breakable tip allowing the receptacle to be fixed to the base of a cannula for dispensing a pasty, viscous or liquid product, said tip being initially closed then perforated.
- this receptacle is remarkable in that its tip comprises over its entire height fixing means capable of cooperating with corresponding means of the base for fixing the cannula and at mid-height about a peripheral line of weakening of the thickness of the end piece and members linked to its upper part to facilitate the extraction of this part of the base when the end piece is broken along this weakening line.
- the simplest execution to be carried out consists of a cylindrical end-piece, the means of fixing to the application cannula of which consist of a thread both on the external part of the end-piece and on the internal part of the base. of the cannula.
- the cannula consist of a thread both on the external part of the end-piece and on the internal part of the base. of the cannula.
- FIG. 1 is an elevational view in median section of an assembly consisting of a receptacle of the type of a cartridge (shown partially in a part comprising the nozzle) and an application cannula mounted on the nozzle before opening the nozzle,
- FIG. 2 represents the same view as previously in which the upper part of the end piece was broken by a bending movement of the application cannula
- FIG. 3 shows in elevation and in median section the extraction of the upper part of the tip of the base of the application cannula
- - Figure 4 is a representation in elevation and in .Cut of the cannula screwed on the lower part of the broken end piece according to figure 2.
- the receptacle 1 is a plastic cartridge containing for example a product such as mastic or any other pasty or viscous or even liquid product, of cylindrical shape to be inserted in a piston distributor (not shown in the figures) intended to repel the putty contained inside the cartridge 1 so that it is expelled towards the outside through a cannula 2 facilitating its application.
- a piston distributor not shown in the figures
- the cannula 2 is traditionally of elongated shape comprising at its base a cylindrical base 3 provided with means for fixing to a nozzle 4 secured to the cartridge 1 or resulting from the injection of the latter; generally, the distal part of the cannula 2 is shaped frustoconical, which conventionally provides the advantage of being able to adjust the diameter of the outlet opening 5 which regulates the thickness of the bead of product applied.
- the cannula 2 which most of the time accompanies the cartridge 1 could serve as a tool for practicing the opening of the end piece 4
- a new lever function has been devised making it possible to easily break the end piece 4 into two substantially equal parts along a breaking line 6 advantageously provided at mid-height of the end piece 4;
- the nozzle 4 directly from the molding of the cartridge 1 and extending at its upper end is of cylindrical shape and comprises from top to bottom a thread 7 on its outer face, a closing cloth 8 coming close the upper end of the nozzle 4 preventing the product contained in the cartridge 1 from escaping before its use.
- the rupture line 6 consists of a zone of weakening of the thickness of the wall of the end piece 4 extending roughly halfway up the end piece 4 and advantageously all around the latter and in any case, over a distance ensuring a total break in the upper part 9 of the end piece 4 when a tilting force F is applied (FIG. 2) to the cannula 2, thus creating a clear break in the weakening line 6 creating a decapsulation of the tip 4 as shown in Figure 2; the lower part 10 of the endpiece 4 thus released then has an open end 11 such as to let the contents of the cartridge 1 come out.
- the upper part 9 of the end piece 4 still has to be extracted by unscrewing it, as indicated in D in FIG. 3, from the base of cannula 2; at. this effect, it is advantageously provided to have at least one wing 12 coming from the upper bank of the weakening line 6, that is to say from the bank situated on the side of the free end of the end piece when it is complete, this wing extending radially outward from the end piece 4 to provide a sufficient grip for the extraction, that is to say in the present example, for unscrewing (arrow d figure 3) of the upper part 9 of the end piece after rupture.
- unscrewing arrow d figure 3
- the wings 12 facilitating the disassembly of the upper part 9 of the end piece, broken along line 6, could be replaced by elements coming into relief on the internal surface of the channel of the end piece 4, for example an imprint with 4 or 6 sides, which would be able to cooperate with a tool of corresponding shape, for example an Allen key, for the extraction of the base of the cannula 2; such a tool (not shown in the figures) could be a simple boss coming from the injection of the cartridge 1, projecting from an available part of the surface of the same cartridge 1, as for example on the opposite side of that which includes the end piece 4.
- any other means of securing the cannula to any one of the parts 9 or 10 of the nozzle would constitute a simple adaptation which cannot in any case depart from the scope of the invention; this would for example be the case with a tip according to the invention but the upper part (9) of which would be smooth and would thus fit just into the base of the cannula over a sufficient height to obtain the break in line 6 by bending the cannula.
