Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fluid dispenser comprising a fluid reservoir for containing fluid and a dispensing member such as a pump or a valve.
  • the reservoir includes an opening, generally in the form of a neck, defining an outer upper edge and an inner lower edge.
  • the pump or the valve is fixed in the opening, generally bearing on the upper outer edge, possibly via a neck seal.
  • the pump or the valve is of the manually operated type, for example with the aid of a finger.
  • Such dispensers are frequently used in the field of perfumery, cosmetics or even pharmacy to distribute various fluid products of varying consistency.
  • the pump or valve is fixed on or in a neck formed by the reservoir by means of fixing means, for example in the form of a fixing ring.
  • the present invention thus aims to prevent, or at least to make it more difficult, the falsification of such fluid dispensers.
  • an object of the invention is to destroy or render unusable the fluid contained in the tank in case of an attempt to remove the pump or the valve of the tank, in particular after removal of the fastening means.
  • Another object of the invention is to make the pump or the valve inchtmontable or very difficult to dismount, even in case of withdrawal or destruction of the fastening means.
  • the present invention provides anti-forgery means distinct from the fastening means and secured to the dispensing member, the anti-forgery means coming into contact with the inner edge in case of attempted withdrawal.
  • the dispensing member out of the opening the anti-forgery means being integral with a support member engaged around the dispenser member and provided with identification means, preferably of the type RFiD.
  • the reservoir comprises a collar that protrudes from a shoulder, the neck defining the opening with the inner edge formed at the junction of the neck and the shoulder inside the reservoir, the inner edge having a diameter greater than that of the opening, the neck defining an inner wall connecting the two edges together.
  • the anti-forgery means comprise abutment means capable of coming into abutting contact against the inner edge, said abutment means being deployable between an insertion position in which they are insertable through the opening and a deployed position in which they extend in the tank below the inner edge so as to come into contact with said inner edge in case of withdrawal of the dispenser member out of the opening.
  • the abutment means are not necessarily in contact with the inner edge in the deployed position. They can indeed stay at a distance, while defining an outer diameter greater than that of the opening.
  • a principle of the present invention is to use the abutment of abutment means against the inner edge of the reservoir to generate or generate one or more reactions that will make the dispenser more difficult to forge.
  • the abutment means may come into pressed contact against the internal edge, in particular when the fastening means have previously been removed.
  • the abutment means are elastically deformable so as to return to a rest position which corresponds to the deployed position.
  • the abutment means comprise an elastically deformable corolla which points, in the rest position, radially outward towards the inner edge.
  • the elasticity of the corolla allows it to pass through elastic deformation through the restricted opening of the reservoir, so that the corolla can then deploy radially outwardly as soon as it has passed the passage of the opening. This deployment of course results in an increase in the outer diameter of the corolla which is then housed just below the inner edge, without necessarily being in contact with the latter.
  • the abutment means comprise an expandable material in contact with the fluid product.
  • the expandable material can be introduced through the reservoir opening in its reduced or unexpanded form.
  • a chemical reaction will cause the material to expand or expand so as to increase its outer diameter beyond that of the opening. Expansion can also be achieved by other means, including radiation.
  • the anti-falsification means comprise a removable part in the event of contact with the inner edge which exceeds a predetermined threshold so that the removable part separates from the dispensing member. .
  • the removable portion falls freely into the tank.
  • the separation of the removable part releases a substance capable of reacting with the fluid product.
  • the separation of the removable part reveals a visual indication.
  • the removable part may be all the anti-forgery means.
  • the removable part can even integrate other elements providing other functions. However, it is the separation of the removable part of the dispensing member which constitutes means of indication or triggering which will make it possible to remark very quickly the falsification of the distributors.
  • the anti-forgery means block the dispensing member in the opening.
  • the anti-forgery means prohibit withdrawal or extraction of the dispenser member from the opening, without at the same time ensuring the attachment of the dispenser member in the opening.
  • the anti-forgery means are integral with a support member engaged around the dispensing member.
  • This support element is provided with identification means, advantageously of the RFID type.
  • the anti-forgery means are combined with identification means in the form of a unitary piece which is advantageously engaged or fixed around the dispensing member, or alternatively fixed or locked inside the unit. the opening between the upper edge and the lower edge.
  • Another principle of the invention is to provide an internal stop within the reservoir which is independent of the mounting or fixing of the dispensing member, so that the stop is active when one wants to remove the dispensing member of the opening. In other words, the dispensing member does not participate advantageously in the realization of the abutment under the inner edge of the reservoir.
  • the anti-forgery means abuts against the internal edge, which either prevents the withdrawal of the dispensing member or causes some or all of the forgery means to separate from the dispensing member to generate various reactions to identify very easily the forgery of the dispenser.
  • a dispenser comprises a reservoir 2 and a dispenser member 3.
  • the tank 2 comprises a tank body 21 defining a bottom (not shown) and a side wall. At its upper end, the body 21 forms a shoulder 22 which is advantageously extended by a projecting neck 23. This neck 23 defines an opening 230 through which the interior of the tank can communicate with the outside.
  • the interior of the tank defines a useful volume for containing fluid.
  • This useful volume can be constant or variable, depending on the nature of the body 21. Indeed, the body 21 can be made of a rigid material which leads to a constant useful volume. Alternatively, the body 21 may be made of a flexible material in the form of a flexible bag, or a deformable container, and in this case the useful volume of the reservoir is variable.
  • the neck 23 is rigid, that is to say made of a dimensionally stable material.
  • the tank 2 can be made of glass, rigid or substantially rigid plastic or metal. Other materials are not excluded, however.
  • the neck 23 comprises an upper annular edge 25, an inner wall 27 and an inner lower edge 26 which is located substantially at the junction of the neck with the shoulder 22. This inner edge 26 is already located inside the volume useful 20 defined by the tank.
  • the inner wall 27 connects the upper edge 25 to the inner edge 26.
  • the inner wall 27 has a generally cylindrical shape.
  • the neck 23 also defines an external reinforcement 24 which is in the form of a peripheral bead which protrudes outwards and which thus defines a recess oriented downwards. This is a quite conventional design for a conventional tank in the field of perfumery, cosmetics or pharmacy.
  • the dispensing member 3 comprises dispensing means 30 which may be in the form of a pump, a valve or any closure system.
  • the dispensing means 30 may be manual, electric or electronic. It can be used various technologies such as piezoelectric or ultrasonic.

  • This pump 30 comprises a pump body 300 of substantially cylindrical or stepped shape. At its upper end, the body 300 can form a retaining flange 302, while at its lower end, the body 300 can be extended by a dip tube 301 which extends inside the reservoir 2. Whatever is the nature of the dispensing means, they must allow the removal of fluid from the reservoir and the distribution of this fluid taken outwardly so that the user can apply it on an application surface or distribute it in the air.
  • the pump 30 is provided with various associated members, such as for example a pusher 31 on which can be pressed with one or more finger (s) to actuate the pump 30, and fixing means for fixing the pump 30 on the tank.
  • These fixing means here comprise several parts, namely a cup 32, a fixing ring 33 and a trim band 34.

  • This ring 33 comprises one or more attachment profile (s) 331 intended (s) to cooperate with the neck 23 of the tank for fixing on the neck of the tank.
  • the band 34 comes to lock the ring 33 engaged around the neck.
  • fastening means can be used to screw or crimp.
  • the purpose of the fastening means is to achieve a solid and sealed attachment of the dispensing means 30 on the reservoir.
  • a neck seal 35 interposed between the cup 32 and the upper edge 25 of the neck 23.
