Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fastener for fixing a dispensing member, such as for example a pump or a valve, on a reservoir intended to contain a liquid fluid product, or even powder.
  • a dispensing member such as for example a pump or a valve
  • This type of fastener is frequently used in the field of perfumery, cosmetics or even the pharmacy to attach pumps or valves on containers of fluid.
  • a fixing member comprises a fixing ring, generally made of plastic, associated with a trim ring which can be made of metal or plastic.
  • the trim band is mounted around the ring so as to hide it at least partially to advantageously give it an attractive appearance.
  • the trim band is engaged axially in force around the fixing ring, and this friction-only contact is sufficient in principle for fixing the band on the ring.
  • FR-2,799,185 provides a partial solution to this problem of the solid attachment of the hoop on the ring. Indeed, it is intended in this document to crimp the trim band inside a sleeve formed by the ring. The crimping is supposed to ensure both a locking in axial translation and a locking rotation. However, it happens all the same that the hoop can turn on the ring, even with this internal crimping. Indeed, the crimping is more specifically adapted to locking in translation and does not implement specific means, except for a close contact, to ensure the locking in rotation.
  • FR-2 779 419 discloses a pump mounted in a ring which is inserted by force into a tank neck.
  • the ring externally forms a groove for engaging teeth formed within a hood.
  • the teeth ensure locking both in rotation and in translation.
  • the teeth are in the form of rectangular pads that protrude from the inner wall of the hood.
  • Document US-A-2002/0076271 discloses a fixing ring for a dispenser member.
  • a trim band is mounted on this fixing ring and has tabs adapted to be mounted on the shoulder formed by the ring so as to secure said ring and said ring together.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a perfect translational and rotational locking between a fixing ring and a covering hoop surrounding it.
  • the present invention provides a fastener according to the main claim.
  • the fixing member shown in the figures is generally designated by the reference numeral 1 and advantageously comprises two constituent elements, namely a fixing ring 2 and a covering band 3.
  • the trim ring 3 is mounted around the fixing ring 2 and performs an aesthetic function, but sometimes also functional fixing.
  • the fixing ring 2 comprises fastening means adapted to cooperate with a reservoir (not shown) or more precisely an opening of the reservoir which may for example be in the form of a projecting neck.
  • the fixing ring 2 is more particularly adapted to cooperate with the outer wall of the opening of the reservoir which is advantageously made with one or more gripping profiles. These gripping profiles may for example be in the form of an external thread or in the form of a thickened flange forming a lower gripping shoulder.
  • the fixing ring comprises a fixing skirt 21 which is provided internally with an internal thread 211 intended to cooperate with a corresponding thread formed on the outer wall of a tank or container neck.
  • the fastening skirt 21 may also be provided with gripping or detenting heads intended to cooperate with a corresponding fastening profile formed on the outer wall of a container neck.
  • the fixing ring comprises a fixing skirt 21 for ensuring a stable attachment of the fixing ring on a container.
  • the fixing ring 2 also comprises receiving means for fixedly receiving a dispensing member.
  • the dispensing member 4 which is shown very schematically in Figure 1, may be a pump or a valve. Its internal structure does not matter for the present invention; that's why she's not even represented.
  • the dispensing member 4 generally comprises a body 40 inside which a valve 42 is axially displaceable.
  • the body 40 may form or be provided with a fastening flange 41 intended to cooperate with the receiving means formed by the fixing ring 2.
  • the fastening ring forms a snap-fitting housing 24 to the inside which the flange 41 of the dispensing member 4 is engaged in force and held fixedly.
  • the ring forms here furthermore a holding sleeve 23 inside which the dispensing member 4 is engaged.
  • the fixing ring 2 forms a sleeve 22 which can advantageously extend in the extension of the fixing skirt 21.
  • the skirt 21 can extend downwards while the sleeve 22 extends towards the up to end with a free upper end 222.
  • the sleeve 22 may have the same diameter as that of the skirt 21 or a different diameter.
  • the bushing 22 of the ring 2 forms a retaining housing 225 which is open upwardly.
  • This retaining housing 225 is here delimited by two walls 224 which extend substantially vertically opposite each other. The spacing between the two walls determines the width of the housing. This spacing can be constant, increasing or decreasing from its top opening.
  • These walls 224 are at least partially formed by two longitudinal vertical flanges 223 formed on the inner wall of the sleeve 22.
  • the walls 224 thus comprise a vertical component, but also a radial component.
  • the sleeve 22 forms a notch 222 at the retaining housing 225.
  • a socket devoid of such a notch 222 so that the sleeve is complete and continuous over its entire periphery at the its upper end 222.
  • the retaining housing 225 is formed only inside the socket by the walls 224 of the two flanges 223.
  • the wrapping band 3 here comprises a perfectly cylindrical barrel 31 having a lower end 32 and an upper end 33.
  • the internal diameter of the barrel 31 is advantageously equal to or very slightly less than the maximum outside diameter of the fixing ring 2.
  • the band 3 forms at its upper end 33 a peripheral peripheral flap 34 which can advantageously forming a small return 341 oriented downwards substantially parallel and concentrically to the shaft 31.
  • the trim band 3 forms a hooking element 35 which performs both a locking in rotation and a locking in axial translation of the band on the ring.
  • the fastening element 35 is made in one piece for the trim band.
  • these rotational locking and locking functions in axial translation could be dissociated so as to be provided by two distinct elements, but preferably according to the invention these two locking functions are performed by one and the same attachment element 35.
  • This attachment element 35 extends in the extension of the return 341 or the tuck flap 34 by pointing downwards towards the lower end 32 of the hoop.
  • the attachment element 35 is here in the form of an arrow forming a substantially straight body 351 at the end of which is formed a harpooning head forming one or two spearing profiles 352.
  • the attachment element 35 extends substantially axially, but also tangentially.
  • the body 351 of the fastening element 35 may have a width less than or equal to the distance separating the two walls 224 of the housing 225. However, the width of the head at the attachment profiles 352 is greater than the distance separating the two walls 224 of the housing 225.
  • the engagement of the fastening element 35 in the housing 225 has the effect of biting the attachment profiles 352 in the walls 224 of the housing 225. of their configuration in the manner of a harpoon, the harpooning profiles 352 can be inserted with a limited pressure force inside the housing 225, while their removal is made impossible in the manner of a conventional harpoon. Thus, a locking in axial translation is ensured.
  • the fixing ring 2 may be made of a plastic material.
  • the trim band 3 it may also be made of a plastic material, but its attachment element 35 must be made of a harder plastic material to be able to fulfill its harpooning function.
  • the trim band 3 is made of metal.
  • the shaft 31 of the band 3 is here in tight contact with the ring 2, one can very well imagine an embodiment in which the shaft 31 is not in tight contact with the fixing ring 2.
  • the fixing the ring on the ring is then entirely ensured by the engagement of the attachment element or elements 35 in one or more respective retaining seats.
  • the fastening element (s) are here made at the level of the flap inside the hoop. However, they can be located elsewhere in the band, for example at the bottom of the band.
