Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for the inviolability and authentication of a liquid product dispenser.
  • This type of dispenser generally comprises a product reservoir provided with a cylindrical neck and in which is engaged a closure means or closure: see for example FR 2 776 991 A .
  • the invention relates to a device for the consumer to easily determine whether a dispenser and the packaged product it contains are authentic and to verify that the dispenser has not been violated, altered or recycled.
  • the present invention aims to solve these technical problems satisfactorily.
  • This object is achieved by the invention by means of a device consisting of a control element provided with an elastically inwardly folding flange whose largest diameter is greater than the inside diameter of the neck and which is removably disposed. at the bottom of said closure means being trapped in said reservoir after forced insertion through said neck.
  • said control element comprises a socket in which the lower part of the closure means is in radial clamping.
  • the inner wall of said sleeve carries an axial wedging rib cooperating with a groove carried by the sealing means.
  • said bushing is provided with a stiffening peripheral flange disposed under the collar to prevent any bending downwards.
  • said sealing means consists of a pump body.
  • said control element is then made in one piece with the pump body.
  • said flange is frustoconical and deviates from the axis of the neck upwards.
  • said control element supports a means of traceability.
  • said flange consists of a series of radial fins.
  • said control element matches the outer profile of said shutter means.
  • the device of the invention makes it possible to offer the consumer a flagrant proof of the integrity of the dispenser.
  • control element is a simple assembly operation that can be easily automated and integrated into the manufacturing process of the sealing means itself which is then delivered pre-equipped, or which can be implemented later during the packaging of the product.
  • the device of the invention is applicable to any type of closure or closure means having a portion which extends inside the product reservoir and which is capable of supporting the control element.
  • sealing means are, for example, pre-compression pumps, fitted, screwed, snapped or crimped on a tank neck.
  • the device of the invention is particularly suitable for use in the fight against counterfeiting or the control of parallel imports and can be coupled, for example, with electronic systems that traditionally provide detection and authentication or tracing of produced by coding, or associated with a laser marking or even provided with an ink delivery system.
  • FIGS. 1A to 1C represent a traditional dispenser comprising a product tank R provided with a cylindrical neck C in which a closure or closure means engages, such as here a pump body P ensuring the plug function while containing a chamber and a compression mechanism topped with a push-button B.
  • the invention provides for adding a control element T to the closure means in such a way that, during an attempted break-in, for example, by forced traction on the pump P, this element separates from said means and remains trapped in the reservoir R without it being possible to remove it manually or with conventional means.
  • control element T comprises a cylindro-conical sleeve 1 which is intended to be mounted to the lower part of the pump body P removably with a slight radial clamping.
  • the bushing 1 matches the outer profile of the pump body P.
  • the sleeve 1 is provided with a flange 2 which extends substantially radially and peripherally.
  • This flange 2 is elastically deformable unidirectionally towards the axis of the neck C and its larger diameter is greater than the inside diameter of said neck.
  • the flange 2 is constituted, according to the variant represented on the figure 1C , a series of radial fins 20 or, according to another variant not shown, a continuous annular web connected to the periphery of the sleeve by a peripheral connection zone.
  • the frustoconical profile of the flange deviates from the axis of the neck upwards and flares and thus prohibits any bending downwards.
  • the bushing 1 is provided here with a peripheral flange 21 ( figure 1C ) which is disposed under the flange 2 by forming a stiffener and which prohibits it bending downwards.
  • the sleeve 1 carries a wedging rib 10 ( figure 1C ) cooperating with a corresponding groove made on the closure means, that is to say here on the body P, to ensure proper positioning of the control element T on the closure means.
  • control element 1 is first mounted on the body of the pump P, as shown in FIG. Figure 1A then the force introduction of the assembly into the neck which has the effect of folding the flange 2 inwardly against the side wall of the body.
  • the flange 2 is deployed by resuming its initial shape and orientation, as shown in FIG. Figure 1B and is then locked in axial translation by abutment under the level of the neck C against the inner shoulder E of the reservoir R.
  • This anomaly can be observed with the naked eye by the consumer through the translucent or transparent wall of the tank or ascertained by the seller by using appropriate detection systems.
  • the figure 2 represents another embodiment of the control element in which the flange 2 is molded in one piece with the pump body P alone forming the sealing means and inviolability of the neck in the manner of a pump plug.
  • the authentication system can be either directly integrated with the wall of the body or fixed on all or part of said body located inside the bottle.
