Description

La présente invention concerne un distributeur de parfum comprenant un réservoir de parfum et un bouchon monté sur le réservoir de parfum. Ce bouchon comporte une embase de fixation définissant un orifice et un organe d'obturation apte à obturer ledit orifice.The present invention relates to a perfume dispenser comprising a perfume tank and a cap mounted on the perfume tank. This cap comprises a fixing base defining an orifice and a closure member adapted to close said orifice.

De nombreux systèmes de fermeture de récipient, appelés communément bouchons, comportant un organe de d'obturation apte à se fixer sur une embase afin d'interdire la sortie de produit fluide contenu dans un récipient sont connus de l'état de la technique. Il est par exemple connu dans le domaine des échantillons en parfumerie cosmétique des distributeurs présentant un réservoir d'une contenance de l'ordre de deux à trois millilitres, appelé communément flaconnette, muni d'un bouchon comportant un capuchon amovible. Le capuchon peut aussi être fixé sur une embase montée sur le col de la flaconnette. En variante, le capuchon peut être simplement enfoncé sur le col ou dans le col de la flaconnette. Une fixation par vissage peut aussi être mise en oeuvre afin de fixer le capuchon sur l'embase ou le col de la flaconnette. Ainsi, pour distribuer une dose de produit fluide, il suffit de retirer le capuchon en le dévissant ou en le tirant puis de pencher ou de renverser le distributeur afin d'extraire le produit contenu dans le réservoir. Le produit contenu dans le réservoir, qui peut être une crème, une lotion, un parfum ou une poudre, est alors généralement recueilli sur le bout des doigts par l'utilisateur puis appliqué sur une surface d'application, en général la peau. Ainsi, un problème lié à l'utilisation de telles flaconnettes réside dans la non reproductibilité des doses de produit fluide distribuées et de manière plus générale dans l'imprécision des doses prélevées. Un autre problème est lié à l'intervention des doigts qui sont d'une part imprégnés et polluent d'autre par le produit dans la flaconnette.Many container closure systems, commonly called plugs, having a closure member adapted to be fixed on a base to prevent the release of fluid contained in a container are known from the state of the art. It is for example known in the field of samples in cosmetic perfumery dispensers having a reservoir with a capacity of the order of two to three milliliters, commonly called bottle, provided with a cap having a removable cap. The cap can also be attached to a base mounted on the neck of the bottle. Alternatively, the cap can be simply depressed on the neck or in the neck of the bottle. A fixation by screwing can also be implemented in order to fix the cap on the base or the neck of the bottle. Thus, to dispense a dose of fluid product, simply remove the cap by unscrewing or pulling it and then tilt or invert the dispenser to extract the product in the tank. The product contained in the reservoir, which may be a cream, a lotion, a perfume or a powder, is then generally collected on the fingertips by the user and then applied to an application surface, in general the skin. Thus, a problem associated with the use of such vials lies in the non-reproducibility of the doses of fluid dispensed and more generally in the inaccuracy of the doses taken. Another problem is related to the intervention of the fingers which are on the one hand impregnated and pollute on the other by the product in the bottle.

Un distributeur selon le préambule de la revendication 1 est décrit dans le document US-A-4 732 287 .A dispenser according to the preamble of claim 1 is described in the document US-A-4,732,287 .

Un but de la présente invention consiste donc à améliorer les dispositifs de distribution existants.An object of the present invention is therefore to improve the existing dispensing devices.

La présente invention a encore pour but de remédier aux inconvénients de l'art antérieur par la mise en oeuvre d'un distributeur comportant un bouchon capable d'extraire du produit fluide de façon plus précise et plus reproductible, et sans l'intervention des doigts de l'utilisateur.The present invention also aims to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art by the implementation of a dispenser comprising a cap capable of extracting the fluid more accurately and reproducibly, and without the intervention of the fingers of the user.

Un autre but de la présente invention est encore la mise au point d'un bouchon facile à fabriquer, à assembler et de faible coût de revient.Another object of the present invention is still the development of a plug easy to manufacture, to assemble and low cost.

Une fixation étanche du capuchon sur le col ou l'embase est un autre problème.A sealed fastening of the cap on the neck or the base is another problem.

Pour atteindre ces buts, la présente invention propose un distributeur de parfum tel que défini dans la revendication 1.To achieve these objects, the present invention provides a fragrance dispenser as defined in claim 1.

Avantageusement, l'élément de prélèvement et/ou d'application comporte des moyens de rétention de produit fluide. Ils peuvent se présenter sous la forme de rainures ou de nervures par exemple.Advantageously, the sampling and / or application element comprises means for retaining fluid. They can be in the form of grooves or ribs for example.

Avantageusement, l'embase comporte une bague pourvue d'un profil d'encliquetage apte à venir s'encliqueter dans un évidement correspondant dudit col afin de maintenir ladite embase sur ledit col.Advantageously, the base comprises a ring provided with a snap profile adapted to snap into a corresponding recess of said neck to maintain said base on said neck.

Avantageusement, ladite embase comporte une jupe d'étanchéité apte à venir en contact étanche dans ledit col.Advantageously, said base comprises a sealing skirt adapted to come into sealing contact in said neck.

Ladite embase et ledit organe d'obturation sont réalisés de manière monobloc en étant reliés l'un à l'autre par un pont de matière cassable lors d'une première utilisation. Cette réalisation monobloc constitue ainsi une sécurité de premier usage garantissant à l'acheteur la primeur d'utilisation du dispositif commercialisé. Le pont de matière garantit également une parfaite étanchéité du distributeur avant la première utilisation.Said base and said closure member are made integrally by being connected to each other by a brittle material bridge during a first use. This monobloc embodiment thus constitutes a first-use security guaranteeing the buyer the first use of the device marketed. The material bridge also guarantees a perfect seal of the dispenser before the first use.

L'orifice de l'embase est délimité par un bord périphérique relié par ledit pont de matière à une surface de jonction de l'élément de prélèvement et/ou d'application. En d'autres termes, l'embase est initialement reliée d'une pièce à l'organe d'obturation, et définit, après retrait de l'organe d'obturation, un bord périphérique formant l'orifice de distribution. L'embase peut être reliée à l'organe d'obturation autre part qu'au niveau de l'élément de prélèvement.The orifice of the base is delimited by a peripheral edge connected by said bridge material to a junction surface of the sampling element and / or application. In other words, the base is initially connected in one piece to the closure member, and defines, after removal of the closure member, a peripheral edge forming the dispensing orifice. The base can be connected to the closure member other than at the level of the sampling element.

La caractéristique essentielle de l'invention consiste en ce que ledit bord périphérique est apte à venir en contact étanche contre une surface d'étanchéité dudit élément de prélèvement et/ou d'application après une rupture dudit pont de matière. Il s'agit là d'une position fermée de refermeture étanche après la première utilisation.The essential feature of the invention is that said peripheral edge is adapted to come into sealing contact against a sealing surface of said sampling element and / or application after a rupture of said material bridge. This is a sealed closed position after the first use.

Avantageusement, ledit élément de prélèvement et/ou d'application comporte un cordon d'encliquetage apte à coopérer avec ledit bord périphérique pour le maintenir en contact étanche de la surface d'étanchéité en position fermée de refermeture.Advantageously, said sampling and / or application member comprises a ratchet bead adapted to cooperate with said peripheral edge to keep it in sealing contact with the sealing surface in the closed re-closing position.

Avantageusement, ledit cordon d'encliquetage est situé entre la surface de jonction et la surface d'étanchéité.Advantageously, said detent cord is located between the junction surface and the sealing surface.

Avantageusement, ledit organe d'obturation comporte un élément de préhension destiné à être saisi par un utilisateur, ledit élément de préhension comportant une paroi basale située en regard de ladite embase, ladite paroi basale étant distante de ladite embase avant rupture du pont de matière et venant en butée ou au contact de ladite embase après rupture du pont de matière et encliquetage du bord périphérique entre ledit cordon d'encliquetage et ladite paroi basale.Advantageously, said closure member comprises a gripping element intended to be gripped by a user, said gripping element comprising a basal wall facing said base, said basal wall being distant from said base before rupture of the material bridge and abutting or in contact with said base after rupture of the material bridge and clipping of the peripheral edge between said detent cord and said basal wall.

Avantageusement, ladite surface d'étanchéité est localisée entre ledit cordon d'encliquetage et ladite paroi basale.Advantageously, said sealing surface is located between said detent and said basal wall.

Avantageusement, ledit élément de préhension comporte deux faces opposées en miroir présentant chacune une surface concave destinée à faciliter la préhension et le retrait de l'organe d'obturation.Advantageously, said gripping element comprises two opposite mirror faces each having a concave surface intended to facilitate the gripping and removal of the closure member.

De préférence, ledit orifice présente un diamètre tel que le produit fluide contenu dans le réservoir est retenu par capillarité au niveau dudit orifice lorsque ledit bouchon est retourné. On peut ainsi se servir du bouchon comme applicateur.Preferably, said orifice has a diameter such that the fluid product contained in the reservoir is retained by capillarity at said orifice when said plug is returned. The plug can thus be used as an applicator.

Avantageusement, ledit orifice présente un diamètre avantageusement de 2 à 6 mm et de préférence de 3 à 4 mm.Advantageously, said orifice has a diameter advantageously from 2 to 6 mm and preferably from 3 to 4 mm.

L'invention sera maintenant plus amplement décrite en référence aux dessins joints donnant à titre d'exemple non limitatif un mode de réalisation de l'invention.The invention will now be more fully described with reference to the accompanying drawings giving by way of non-limiting example an embodiment of the invention.

En référence aux figures, le distributeur de produit fluide de l'invention comporte un réservoir 4 et un bouchon 1.With reference to the figures, the fluid dispenser of the invention comprises a reservoir 4 and a stopper 1.

Le réservoir 4, destiné à contenir un parfum peut être réalisé en verre ou en plastique. Le réservoir 4 comporte un col 40 formant une ouverture faisant communiquer l'intérieur du réservoir avec l'extérieur. Le col 40 comporte une paroi interne 41 située dans l'ouverture du col, une extrémité supérieure 43 et une paroi externe 42. Un évidement 401 est ménagé au niveau de la paroi externe 42. Le réservoir comprend également un fût 44, obturé par un fond 45. La paroi externe du fût 44 peut par exemple être circulaire cylindrique. La contenance du réservoir est généralement de l'ordre de quelques millilitres.The tank 4 for containing a perfume may be made of glass or plastic. The tank 4 has a neck 40 forming an opening communicating the interior of the tank with the outside. The neck 40 has an inner wall 41 located in the opening of the neck, an upper end 43 and an outer wall 42. A recess 401 is provided at the outer wall 42. The reservoir also comprises a barrel 44, closed by a 45. The outer wall of the barrel 44 may for example be circular cylindrical. The capacity of the tank is generally of the order of a few milliliters.

Le bouchon 1 comporte deux éléments constitutifs, à savoir, une embase de fixation 2 et un organe d'obturation 3.The plug 1 comprises two constituent elements, namely, a fixing base 2 and a closure member 3.

L'embase de fixation 2 comprend un plateau radial 20, une jupe d'étanchéité 21 et une bague 22 de fixation.The fixing base 2 comprises a radial plate 20, a sealing skirt 21 and a fixing ring 22.

Le plateau radial 20 forme une surface supérieure, avantageusement circulaire et plane.The radial plate 20 forms an upper surface, advantageously circular and flat.

La jupe d'étanchéité 21 s'étend axialement vers le bas à partir du plateau radial 20.The sealing skirt 21 extends axially downwards from the radial plate 20.

La bague 22 s'étend axialement à partir de la périphérie externe du plateau radial 20 de façon concentrique à la jupe d'étanchéité 21 et comporte une extrémité inférieure pourvue d'un profil d'encliquetage 220, qui fait saillie vers l'intérieur.The ring 22 extends axially from the outer periphery of the radial plate 20 concentrically to the sealing skirt 21 and has a lower end provided with a detent profile 220, which projects inwards.

Ainsi, lorsque l'embase 2 est montée sur le col 40 du réservoir 4, la bague 22 est en contact de la paroi externe 42 et le profil d'encliquetage 220 est alors engagé dans l'évidement 401. Avantageusement, la bague 22 s'étend dans l'alignement du fût 44, de manière à conférer avantageusement un aspect général tubulaire. Le plateau radial 20 est disposé avantageusement de façon à venir reposer sur l'extrémité supérieure 43 du col. La jupe d'étanchéité 21 vient quant à elle se loger dans l'ouverture du col, avantageusement en contact étanche avec la paroi interne 41 de sorte à éviter toute possibilité de fuite entre le col et l'embase.Thus, when the base 2 is mounted on the neck 40 of the reservoir 4, the ring 22 is in contact with the outer wall 42 and the snap profile 220 is then engaged in the recess 401. Advantageously, the ring 22 is extends in the alignment of the barrel 44, so as to advantageously confer a tubular general appearance. The radial plate 20 is advantageously arranged so as to rest on the upper end 43 of the neck. The sealing skirt 21 comes as it is housed in the opening of the neck, preferably in sealing contact with the inner wall 41 so as to avoid any possibility of leakage between the neck and the base.

L'organe d'obturation 3, réalisé préférentiellement en matériau plastique, comprend un élément de préhension 30 et un élément de prélèvement et/ou d'application de produit fluide 31.The closure member 3, preferably made of plastic material, comprises a gripping element 30 and a sampling and / or fluid application member 31.

L'élément de préhension 30, destiné à être saisi par un utilisateur lors d'une application de produit fluide, peut présenter toutes formes appropriées. Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, l'élément de préhension 30 comporte un sommet 300, à partir duquel s'étendent deux bords 301 en vis à vis et deux faces 303a et 303b situées également en vis-à-vis. Les bords 301 et les faces 303a et 303b forment ainsi quatre pans débouchant sur une paroi basale 302. Comme visible sur la figure 3 représentant un distributeur de profil, les faces 303a et 303b s'étendent du sommet 300 jusqu'à la paroi basale 302 en étant agencées de part et d'autres des bords 301. Ces faces 303a et 303b présentent une forme incurvée et plus particulièrement concave. Le sommet 300 présentant une largeur inférieure à la paroi basale 302, les faces 303a et 303b divergent donc de façon plus importante au niveau de la paroi basale 302. Ces faces 303a et 303b dans ce mode de réalisation préféré forment ainsi deux faces opposées en image de miroir à partir d'un plan de symétrie A traversant axialement les bords 301 de l'organe d'obturation 3. Cette forme de réalisation est particulièrement avantageuse, facilitant la prise en main de l'organe d'obturation 3 et son retrait du réservoir 4.The gripping element 30, intended to be grasped by a user during a fluid application, may have all appropriate shapes. According to a preferred embodiment, the gripping element 30 has a top 300, from which extend two edges 301 opposite and two faces 303a and 303b also located vis-à-vis. The edges 301 and the faces 303a and 303b thus form four panels opening onto a basement wall 302. As can be seen in FIG. 3 representing a profile dispenser, the faces 303a and 303b extend from the top 300 to the basement wall 302 by being arranged on both sides of the edges 301. These faces 303a and 303b have a curved shape and more particularly concave. Since the top 300 has a smaller width than the basal wall 302, the faces 303a and 303b thus diverge more significantly at the level of the basal wall 302. These faces 303a and 303b in this preferred embodiment thus form two opposite faces in image. mirror of a plane of symmetry A through axially the edges 301 of the shutter member 3. This embodiment is particularly advantageous, facilitating the grip of the shutter member 3 and its removal from the tank 4.

L'élément de prélèvement et/ou d'application 31 a pour fonction de permettre le prélèvement d'une quantité donnée de produit fluide. L'élément 31 présente une configuration générale cylindrique avantageusement tronconique, mais cette configuration n'est pas limitative, de nombreuses formes pouvant être envisagées. La section de l'élément 31 est de préférence régulièrement décroissante depuis l'élément de préhension.The purpose of the sampling and / or application member 31 is to allow the sampling of a given quantity of fluid product. The element 31 has a generally cylindrical configuration advantageously frustoconical, but this configuration is not limiting, many forms can be envisaged. The section of the element 31 is preferably regularly decreasing from the gripping element.

L'élément de prélèvement 31 a également pour fonction de faciliter la remise en place de l'organe d'obturation sur l'embase.The sampling element 31 also serves to facilitate the refitting of the closure member on the base.

L'élément 31 comporte avantageusement une extrémité inférieure libre 313, une surface de jonction 310, un cordon d'encliquetage 311 et une surface d'étanchéité 312.The element 31 advantageously comprises a free bottom end 313, a junction surface 310, a ratchet bead 311 and a sealing surface 312.

L'extrémité inférieure libre 313 peut comporter des moyens de rétention de produit fluide. Ces moyens de rétention peuvent être plusieurs rainure(s) longitudinale(s) 3130 comme représentée(s) sur la figure 4 ou une fente 3131, comme représentée sur la figure 5, traversant de part et d'autre l'extrémité inférieure 313. Cependant d'autres formes de réalisation de moyens garantissant la rétention de produit fluide peuvent être envisagées comme par exemple une boucle de rétention, un pinceau, un tampon ou un embout souple.The lower free end 313 may include fluid retention means. These retention means may be a plurality of longitudinal grooves 3130 as shown in FIG. 4 or a slot 3131, as shown in FIG. 5, crossing on both sides the lower end 313. However, other embodiments of means guaranteeing the retention of fluid product may be envisaged such as a retention loop, a brush, a buffer or a flexible tip.

La surface de jonction 310 est une surface cylindrique circulaire s'étendant sur le pourtour de l'élément 31.The junction surface 310 is a circular cylindrical surface extending around the periphery of the element 31.

Le cordon d'encliquetage 311 forme un bourrelet annulaire faisant saillie radialement à partir de l'élément 31.The ratchet bead 311 forms an annular bead projecting radially from the element 31.

La surface d'étanchéité 312 correspond quant à elle également à une surface cylindrique circulaire s'étendant sur le pourtour de l'élément 31.The sealing surface 312 also corresponds to a circular cylindrical surface extending around the periphery of the element 31.

Avantageusement, la surface de jonction 310 et la surface d'étanchéité 312 se situent de part et d'autre du cordon d'encliquetage 311. Dans le mode de réalisation représenté sur les différentes figures, la surface de jonction 310 est située entre l'extrémité inférieure libre 313 de l'élément 31 et le cordon d'encliquetage 311 alors que la surface d'étanchéité 312 est localisée entre le cordon d'encliquetage 312 et la paroi basale 42 de l'élément de préhension. La surface d'étanchéité 312 définit ainsi un logement d'encliquetage étanche entre le cordon 311 et la paroi basale 302.Advantageously, the junction surface 310 and the sealing surface 312 are located on either side of the ratchet cord 311. In the embodiment shown in the various figures, the junction surface 310 is located between the free bottom end 313 of the element 31 and the ratchet cord 311 while the sealing surface 312 is located between the ratchet cord 312 and the basal wall 42 of the gripping element. The sealing surface 312 thus defines a tight snap-fit housing between the bead 311 and the basement wall 302.

L'élément 31 s'étend avantageusement de la paroi basale 302 à travers l'embase 2 jusqu'à environ mi-hauteur du réservoir 4. Toutefois, il est à remarquer que la hauteur à laquelle s'étend l'extrémité libre 313 de l'élément 31 peut fortement varier. En effet, l'élément 31 peut être une tige très restreinte ne dépassant pas la hauteur de l'embase 2, ou au contraire, peut être une tige très grande venant quasiment au contact du fond du réservoir 4.The element 31 advantageously extends from the basal wall 302 through the base 2 to about half the height of the reservoir 4. However, it should be noted that the height at which the free end 313 extends the element 31 can vary greatly. Indeed, the element 31 may be a very restricted rod not exceeding the height of the base 2, or on the contrary, may be a very large rod coming almost in contact with the bottom of the tank 4.

L'organe d'obturation 3 est réalisé monobloc avec l'embase 2. Comme représenté sur les figures la et 1b, l'organe d'obturation 3, en sortie de moule, est relié par un pont de matière annulaire 23 à l'embase 2. Plus précisément, le pont de matière 23 relie la surface de jonction 310 de l'élément 31 à un bord périphérique 200 formé par le plateau radial 20. Cette configuration a pour avantage de garantir une sécurité de premier usage, le produit contenu dans le réservoir 4 ne pouvant être extrait avant rupture du pont de matière 23.The closure member 3 is integrally formed with the base 2. As shown in FIGS. 1a and 1b, the closure member 3, at the outlet of the mold, is connected by a bridge of annular material 23 to the base 2. More specifically, the material bridge 23 connects the junction surface 310 of the element 31 to a peripheral edge 200 formed by the radial plate 20. This configuration has the advantage of guaranteeing a first-use security, the product content in the tank 4 can not be extracted before breaking the material bridge 23.

Ce pont de matière, lors de la première utilisation, devra donc être rompu. Cette rupture est effectuée par un mouvement de traction, de poussée ou de rotation de l'organe d'obturation 3 par rapport à l'embase. Une telle rupture a alors pour effet d'aboutir à la création d'un orifice 24 délimité par le bord périphérique 200 du plateau radial 20. L'organe d'obturation 3 peut alors être librement extrait du réservoir 4 et de l'embase 2. Cette configuration donne ainsi lieu à un organe d'obturation 3 en position ouverte compatible avec le prélèvement et l'application de produit. Il est à noter que l'orifice 24 est avantageusement ménagé au centre du plateau radial 20 et que cet orifice présente toutes formes appropriées : circulaire, oblong, elliptique etc. Toutefois, la dimension de l'orifice 24 est avantageusement telle que du produit fluide sera retenu par capillarité au niveau de l'orifice si le distributeur est penché voire retourné. Ainsi, cette caractéristique fait que l'embase 2 elle-même peut être utilisée comme élément d'application. Pour ce faire, l'orifice 24 présentera avantageusement un diamètre restreint de l'ordre de 2 à 6 mm et de préférence de l'ordre de 3 à 4 mm.This material bridge, during the first use, must be broken. This break is effected by a movement of traction, thrust or rotation of the closure member 3 relative to the base. Such rupture then results in the creation of an orifice 24 delimited by the peripheral edge 200 of the radial plate 20. The closure member 3 can then be freely extracted from the tank 4 and the base 2 This configuration thus gives rise to a shutter member 3 in the open position compatible with the sampling and the application of product. It should be noted that the orifice 24 is advantageously formed in the center of the radial plate 20 and that this orifice has all appropriate shapes: circular, oblong, elliptical, etc. However, the size of the orifice 24 is advantageously such that the fluid product will be retained by capillarity at the orifice if the dispenser is tilted or returned. Thus, this characteristic causes the base 2 itself to be used as an application element. To do this, the orifice 24 will advantageously have a restricted diameter of the order of 2 to 6 mm and preferably of the order of 3 to 4 mm.

Il est à noter que le bord périphérique formant l'orifice sert initialement de point d'attache pour le pont de matière cassante et ensuite de zone annulaire d'étanchéité en coopération la surface d'étanchéité 312 de l'organe d'obturation.It should be noted that the peripheral edge forming the orifice initially serves as an attachment point for the bridge of brittle material and then annular sealing area in cooperation with the sealing surface 312 of the closure member.

D'autre part, il est à noter que l'élément 31 pourrait ne pas servir au prélèvement et à l'application mais pourrait être utilisé uniquement en tant que tige de guidage destinée à faciliter la remise en place de l'organe d'obturation une fois la distribution terminée. En effet, lorsque la distribution est terminée, l'organe d'obturation 3 est replacé de telle sorte à obturer l'orifice 24. L'élément 31 facilite bien entendu ce repositionnement puisqu'il suffit de lâcher l'élément 31 au niveau de l'orifice 24 pour guider l'organe d'obturation par rapport à l'embase.On the other hand, it should be noted that the element 31 may not be used for sampling and application but could be used only as a guide rod intended to facilitate the refitting of the closure member once the distribution is over. Indeed, when the distribution is over, the shutter member 3 is replaced so as to close the orifice 24. The element 31 of course facilitates this repositioning since it suffices to release the element 31 at the orifice 24 to guide the organ shutter relative to the base.

L'organe d'obturation peut être remis en place. L'organe d'obturation peut alors définir une position fermée de refermeture telle que représentée sur les figures 2a et 2b. Cette position permet à l'organe d'obturation 3 d'être fermement maintenu sur l'embase 2. Pour ce faire, un système d'encliquetage est prévu. Ce système d'encliquetage met en oeuvre une coopération entre le bord périphérique 200 de l'embase 2 et le cordon d'encliquetage 311 de l'élément 31. Cette coopération a lieu suite à une pression de l'organe d'obturation suffisamment forte pour que le bord périphérique 200 franchisse le cordon d'encliquetage 311. Une fois le cordon d'encliquetage 311 franchi, le bord périphérique 200 retenu par le cordon d'encliquetage 311 maintient l'organe d'obturation en position fermée de refermeture. Dans cette position, le bord périphérique 200 est alors en prise étanche avec la surface d'étanchéité 312 de l'élément 31 évitant ainsi toutes possibilités de fuite de produit entre l'élément 31 et l'embase 2.The closure member can be put back in place. The closure member can then define a closed reclosing position as shown in Figures 2a and 2b. This position allows the closure member 3 to be firmly held on the base 2. To do this, a detent system is provided. This latching system implements a cooperation between the peripheral edge 200 of the base 2 and the ratchet cord 311 of the element 31. This cooperation takes place following a pressure of the shutter member sufficiently strong so that the peripheral edge 200 crosses the ratchet cord 311. Once the ratchet cord 311 has passed, the peripheral edge 200 retained by the ratchet cord 311 holds the closure member in the closed re-closing position. In this position, the peripheral edge 200 is then in sealing engagement with the sealing surface 312 of the element 31 thus avoiding any possibility of product leakage between the element 31 and the base 2.

En outre, il est à noter qu'il est possible dans cette position d'éviter tout jeu ou déplacement axial relatif entre l'organe d'obturation 3 et l'embase 2. En effet, la paroi basale 302 de l'élément de préhension située en position initiale et en position ouverte à distance du plateau radial 20 peut venir en butée contre le plateau radial suite au franchissement du cordon d'encliquetage 311 en position fermée de fermeture. Le jeu entre l'organe d'obturation 3 et l'embase 2 pourra alors être limité si le bord périphérique 200 du plateau radial 20 présente une hauteur sensiblement égale à la hauteur de la surface d'étanchéité 312.In addition, it should be noted that it is possible in this position to avoid any slack or relative axial displacement between the closure member 3 and the base 2. Indeed, the base wall 302 of the element of FIG. gripping located in the initial position and in the open position away from the radial plate 20 can abut against the radial plate after crossing the ratchet cord 311 in closed closed position. The clearance between the shutter member 3 and the base 2 can then be limited if the peripheral edge 200 of the radial plate 20 has a height substantially equal to the height of the sealing surface 312.

La figure 5 montre une autre configuration pour l'élément de préhension 30. Les faces 303a et b sont moins concaves, mais présentent une partie supérieure favorisant la préhension en vue d'une traction pour retirer l'organe d'obturation de l'orifice de l'embase.FIG. 5 shows another configuration for the gripping element 30. The faces 303a and b are less concave, but have an upper part promoting gripping with a view to traction to remove the closure member from the orifice of the base.

Enfin, lorsque l'utilisateur souhaitera repasser en position ouverte, une simple traction exercée sur l'organe d'obturation 3 permettra au bord périphérique 200 de passer le cordon d'encliquetage 311 et ainsi d'extraire l'élément 31.Finally, when the user wishes to return to the open position, a simple traction exerted on the shutter member 3 will allow the edge device 200 to pass the ratchet cord 311 and thus to extract the element 31.

Bien que la présente invention ait été décrite en référence à un mode de réalisation particulier de celle-ci, il est entendu qu'elle n'est pas limitée par les exemples décrits ci-dessus. Au contraire, un homme du métier pourrait y apporter toute modification utile sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention telle que définie dans les revendications annexées.Although the present invention has been described with reference to a particular embodiment thereof, it is understood that it is not limited by the examples described above. On the contrary, a person skilled in the art could make any useful modification without departing from the scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims.
