Abstract

The spray pump for cosmetics is mounted in a rigid sleeve (4) which is surrounded by a flexible sleeve (2). The rigid sleeve has a rib (6) which forms an annular space (10) when the flexible sleeve is fitted. This prevents breakage when the pump is inserted into the neck (8) of a glass bottle.

Description

La présente invention a pour objet une pompe susceptible d'obturer le col d'un flacon, et un conditionnement de produit à pulvériser comprenant ladite pompe et un flacon.The present invention relates to a pump capable of closing the neck of a bottle, and a package of spray material comprising said pump and a bottle.

Ce type de pompe est généralement utilisé dans le domaine des cosmétiques, associé à un flacon en matériau fragile, souvent du verre, renfermant un produit à pulvériser. De telles pompes dites pompes « bouchons » destinées à obturer le col d'un flacon sont également des pompes dites «fermées»: le corps de la pompe renferme le mécanisme de pompage et un manchon rigide vient s'encastrer dans ledit corps pour empêcher toute dissociation des éléments constitutifs dudit mécanisme. Ces pompes peuvent ainsi être pré assemblées avant d'être livrées à l'acheteur.This type of pump is generally used in the field of cosmetics, associated with a bottle of fragile material, often glass, containing a product to be sprayed. Such pumps called "plugs" intended to close the neck of a bottle are also so-called "closed" pumps: the body of the pump contains the pumping mechanism and a rigid sleeve is embedded in said body to prevent any dissociation of the constituent elements of said mechanism. These pumps can thus be pre-assembled before being delivered to the buyer.

Pour garantir l'étanchéité du flacon sur lequel elles sont montées, le corps de la pompe est réalisé en matériau souple. Le manchon rigide est quant à lui réalisé dans un matériau plus dur, de manière à protéger le mécanisme de pompage. Afin d'immobiliser ces deux éléments l'un par rapport à l'autre, le manchon rigide est doté sur sa périphérie extérieure d'un jonc saillant de dimensions réduites, apte à s'incruster dans la matière du corps en matériau souple, par quoi le manchon rigide est ancré dans ledit corps et ne peut s'en dissocier malgré l'action d'un ressort du mécanisme de pompe.To ensure the tightness of the bottle on which they are mounted, the body of the pump is made of flexible material. The rigid sleeve is made in a harder material, so as to protect the pumping mechanism. In order to immobilize these two elements relative to each other, the rigid sleeve is provided on its outer periphery with a protruding rod of reduced dimensions, capable of being embedded in the material of the body of flexible material, by that the rigid sleeve is anchored in said body and can not dissociate despite the action of a spring of the pump mechanism.

Le FR-A-2764005 , en accord avec le préambule de la revendication 1, décrit un tel mode de réalisation dans lequel le joint ménage un espace annulaire entre la surface externe du manchon et la surface interne du manchon et la surface interne en regard du corps.The FR-A-2764005 , in accordance with the preamble of claim 1, describes such an embodiment wherein the seal provides an annular space between the outer surface of the sleeve and the inner surface of the sleeve and the inner surface facing the body.

La pompe est fournie prémontée. Elle comprend le corps en matériau souple dans lequel le manchon rigide est encastré. Le mécanisme de pompage est installé dans ledit manchon rigide.The pump is supplied pre-assembled. It comprises the body of flexible material in which the rigid sleeve is embedded. The pumping mechanism is installed in said rigid sleeve.

La mise en place de la pompe se déroule selon les étapes suivantes :

  • On introduit à l'intérieur du col du flacon ladite pompe. Cette introduction se fait à force et entraîne une déformation du corps en matériau souple liée à sa compression entre le manchon rigide et le col du flacon. De tels cols sont généralement en matériau fragile, principalement en verre et pour éviter tout risque de rupture du col de verre, la capacité du matériau souple à travailler en compression est essentielle. Néanmoins, il arrive que les flacons soient fabriqués avec de larges tolérances se traduisant par de nettes différences dans les diamètres des cols. Pour les cols de plus faible diamètre, le taux de déformation du corps en matériau souple doit être relativement important, la distance entre la manchon rigide et le col du flacon étant particulièrement réduite. Or, le matériau souple peut atteindre une sorte d'état de déformation maximum. A partir de cet état, les contraintes nécessaires à la déformation dudit corps sont supérieures aux contraintes pouvant être supportées par le col en matériau fragile, le matériau souple ne peut alors plus se déformer et le col se brise lors de l'introduction de la pompe. La présente invention se propose de résoudre ce problème. L'invention concerne ainsi une pompe susceptible d'obturer le col d'un flacon comprenant, un corps en matériau souple dont la partie supérieure, après assemblage de la pompe dans le col, est retenue au niveau du bord extérieur du col, un mécanisme des pompage renfermé dans ledit corps en matériau souple, et un manchon rigide, intercalé entre ledit mécanisme de pompage et ledit corps et, doté d'un jonc encastré dans ledit corps, caractérisé en ce que ledit jonc est susceptible de ménager un espace annulaire entre la surface externe dudit manchon située au dessus dudit jonc et la surface interne opposée du corps, ledit espace annulaire étant de dimensions telles qu'après assemblage, les distances radiales entre ladite surface externe du manchon et la surface interne opposée du col du flacon, soient supérieures ou égales à l'épaisseur du corps en matériau souple, à l'état non contraint.
The installation of the pump takes place according to the following steps:
  • This pump is introduced into the neck of the bottle. This introduction is by force and causes deformation of the body of flexible material related to its compression between the rigid sleeve and the neck of the bottle. Such necks are generally fragile material, mainly glass and to avoid any risk of rupture of the glass neck, the ability of the flexible material to work in compression is essential. Nevertheless, it is possible that the bottles are manufactured with wide tolerances resulting in sharp differences in the diameters of the necks. For necks of smaller diameter, the deformation rate of the body of flexible material must be relatively large, the distance between the sleeve rigid and the neck of the bottle being particularly reduced. However, the flexible material can reach a kind of state of maximum deformation. From this state, the stresses necessary for the deformation of said body are greater than the stresses that can be supported by the neck of fragile material, the flexible material can not then be deformed and the neck breaks during the introduction of the pump . The present invention proposes to solve this problem. The invention thus relates to a pump capable of closing the neck of a bottle comprising a body of flexible material whose upper part, after assembly of the pump in the neck, is retained at the outer edge of the neck, a mechanism pumping enclosed in said body of flexible material, and a rigid sleeve, interposed between said pumping mechanism and said body and, provided with a ring recessed in said body, characterized in that said ring is capable of providing an annular space between the outer surface of said sleeve located above said rod and the opposite inner surface of the body, said annular space being of such dimensions that after assembly, the radial distances between said outer surface of the sleeve and the opposite inner surface of the neck of the bottle, are greater than or equal to the thickness of the body of flexible material, in the unconstrained state.

Le rôle du jonc est essentiel et si comme dans l'art antérieur, il peut servir à ancrer ledit manchon rigide dans ledit corps, ici il sert surtout à ménager l'espace annulaire s'étendant en hauteur jusqu'au bord extérieur du col et permettant au corps en matériau souple de ne pas ou peu travailler en compression mais essentiellement en flexion. Les contraintes nécessaires à la déformation du corps de la pompe en flexion étant nettement inférieures à celles nécessaires à sa compression, le col du flacon est préservé et ce, quelle que soit la tolérance avec laquelle il a été fabriqué.The role of the ring is essential and if as in the prior art, it can be used to anchor said rigid sleeve in said body, here it serves mainly to spare the annular space extending in height to the outer edge of the collar and allowing the body of flexible material not to work or to work in compression but essentially in flexion. Since the stresses necessary for the deformation of the body of the pump in flexion are much lower than those necessary for its compression, the neck of the bottle is preserved, whatever the tolerance with which it was manufactured.

De telles pompes garantissent, en outre, une bonne étanchéité du flacon rempli du produit à pulvériser.Such pumps guarantee, in addition, a good seal of the bottle filled with the product to be sprayed.

Le jonc précédemment décrit, pour assurer sa fonction, doit présenter des dimensions supérieures à celles des joncs de l'art antérieur qui n'assuraient qu'une fonction d'ancrage. De plus, il ne doit plus nécessairement avoir une forme saillante susceptible de pénétrer à l'intérieur du matériau souple. Il est tout de même préférable de conserver ce type de forme, tronconique par exemple ; dans ce cas, il faut prendre en compte la profondeur de pénétration du jonc dans le corps en matériau souple, cette dernière ayant une influence directe sur le volume de l'espace annulaire défini : plus le jonc pénètre dans le corps souple et plus le volume diminue.The rod described above, to ensure its function, must have dimensions greater than those rods of the prior art which provided only an anchoring function. In addition, it must not necessarily have a protruding shape that can penetrate inside the flexible material. It is still better to keep this type of form, frustoconical for example; in this case, it is necessary to take into account the depth of penetration of the rod in the body of flexible material, the latter having a direct influence on the volume of the defined annular space: the more the rod penetrates into the flexible body and the greater the volume decreases.

Avantageusement, la partie supérieure du corps de la pompe est constituée par une collerette qui vient en appui contre le bord extérieur du col du flacon. Le manchon rigide peut lui aussi présenter à son extrémité supérieure une collerette recouvrant, au moins en partie, ladite partie supérieure du corps. Ainsi, la collerette du corps de la pompe est maintenue entre le bord extérieur du col et la collerette du manchon. Pour retenir la partie supérieure du corps de la pompe, il est toutefois possible d'envisager d'autres types de solution comme par exemple le collage de cette partie supérieure sur le bord extérieur du col.Advantageously, the upper part of the body of the pump is constituted by a collar which bears against the outer edge of the neck of the bottle. The rigid sleeve may also have at its upper end a flange covering, at least in part, said upper part of the body. Thus, the flange of the pump body is held between the outer edge of the neck and the flange of the sleeve. To retain the upper body of the pump, however, it is possible to consider other types of solution such as for example the bonding of this upper part on the outer edge of the neck.

L'espace annulaire précédemment mentionné est défini entre la surface externe du manchon située au dessus dudit jonc et la surface interne du corps en matériau souple et s'étend en hauteur jusqu'au bord extérieur du col du flacon. Avantageusement, cette hauteur correspond sensiblement à la hauteur du col du flacon, ce qui permet à la surface externe du corps en matériau souple de venir épouser au mieux la forme de la surface interne du col, garantissant ainsi un bon maintien de la pompe à l'intérieur du col et une bonne étanchéité.The aforementioned annular space is defined between the outer surface of the sleeve located above said rod and the inner surface of the body of flexible material and extends in height to the outer edge of the neck of the bottle. Advantageously, this height corresponds substantially to the height of the neck of the bottle, which allows the outer surface of the body of flexible material to come to marry at best the shape of the inner surface of the neck, thus ensuring a good maintenance of the pump to the inside the collar and a good seal.

Un deuxième objet de l'invention est un conditionnement de produit à pulvériser comprenant une pompe présentant les caractéristiques précitées et un flacon en matériau fragile, qui peut être du verre.A second subject of the invention is a package of spray product comprising a pump having the aforementioned characteristics and a bottle of fragile material, which may be glass.

Un tel conditionnement présente les avantages liés à l'utilisation d'une pompe selon l'invention.Such packaging has the advantages of using a pump according to the invention.

L'invention et ses avantages seront mieux compris à la lecture de la description détaillée d'un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention. La description qui suit se réfère aux dessins annexés sur lesquels :

  • la figure 1 représente une coupe transversale d'une pompe selon l'invention avant son assemblage dans le col du flacon ;
  • la figure 2 représente une coupe transversale de la pompe de la figure 1 après assemblage dans le col du flacon.
The invention and its advantages will be better understood on reading the detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the invention. The following description refers to the accompanying drawings in which:
  • the figure 1 represents a cross section of a pump according to the invention before its assembly in the neck of the bottle;
  • the figure 2 represents a cross-section of the pump of the figure 1 after assembly in the neck of the bottle.

La pompe telle que représentée sur la figure 1 comprend un corps 2 en matériau souple renfermant le mécanisme 3 de la pompe, non représenté et dans lequel est encastré le manchon rigide 4 doté d'un jonc 6. Cette pompe est susceptible d'obturer le col 8 d'un flacon. Ledit jonc 6 ménage un espace annulaire 10, entre la surface externe 4a dudit manchon rigide 4 et la surface interne opposée 2a dudit corps en matériau souple.The pump as shown on the figure 1 comprises a body 2 of flexible material enclosing the mechanism 3 of the pump, not shown and in which is embedded the rigid sleeve 4 with a ring 6. This pump is likely to close the neck 8 of a bottle. Said ring 6 maintains an annular space 10, between the outer surface 4a of said rigid sleeve 4 and the opposite inner surface 2a of said body of flexible material.

Comme représenté sur la figure 2, après assemblage de la pompe dans le col 8 du flacon, et après que le jonc saillant 6 de forme tronconique ait pénétré à l'intérieur du corps 2, l'espace annulaire 10 subsiste, les distances radiales entre la surface externe 4a du manchon 4 et la surface interne opposée 8a étant supérieures à l'épaisseur du corps 2 à l'étant non contraint. Dans ces conditions, le corps 2 travaille en flexion.As shown on the figure 2 after assembly of the pump in the neck 8 of the vial, and after the frustoconical projecting rod 6 has penetrated inside the body 2, the annular space 10 remains, the radial distances between the outer surface 4a of the sleeve 4 and the opposite inner surface 8a being greater than the thickness of the body 2 to being unconstrained. Under these conditions, the body 2 works in flexion.

La partie supérieure de ce corps 2, selon un mode préféré de réalisation de l'invention, a la forme d'une collerette et est retenue entre le bord extérieur 12 du col 8, et une autre collerette située à l'extrémité supérieure du manchon rigide.The upper part of this body 2, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, has the shape of a collar and is retained between the outer edge 12 of the neck 8, and another collar located at the upper end of the sleeve. rigid.

De manière générale, l'espace annulaire 10 s'étend en hauteur à partir du jonc 6, jusqu'au niveau du bord extérieur du flacon 21. Avantageusement comme représenté sur la figure 2, la hauteur de cet espace 10 correspond sensiblement à la hauteur du col 8, par quoi le corps 2 épouse parfaitement l'arrondi du col 8 assurant ainsi une meilleure solidarisation des éléments entre eux et une bonne étanchéité:In general, the annular space 10 extends in height from the ring 6, to the level of the outer edge of the bottle 21. Advantageously, as shown in FIG. figure 2 , the height of this space 10 substantially corresponds to the height of the neck 8, whereby the body 2 perfectly matches the roundness of the neck 8 thus ensuring better connection of the elements together and a good seal:
