Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fluid dispenser device comprising an assembly for attachment to a neck of a container adapted to contain a fluid product.
  • Cosmetics, perfumery and pharmaceuticals are preferred but not exclusive fields of application of the present invention.
  • the assembly sequence of such an assembly first comprises a step of fixing the body of the pump or valve in the fastener, followed by a step of positioning the seal on the body of said pump. or valve, followed by a step of assembling the fastener on the container neck, trapping and sealingly engaging said gasket, the fastener and the neck of the container.
  • the fastening element can be fixed on the neck by any appropriate means such as screwing, snapping, crimping, etc. This sequence then results in compression of the seal between the upper edge of the neck and the ring. Such compression thus ensures the sealing of the device by preventing the passage of fluid between the upper edge of the neck and the fixing ring.
  • the present invention aims to provide a device that does not reproduce the aforementioned drawbacks.
  • the present invention aims to provide a device comprising a seal ensuring perfect positioning of the seal relative to the neck and the ring.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a device comprising a neck gasket that easily adapts to standard fixing rings.
  • Another object of the present invention is also to make the mounting of the seal provided between the fixing ring and the neck of a container and the overall assembly of the dispensing device simpler, more reliable and less expensive.
  • the present invention therefore relates to a fluid dispenser device as described in claim 1.
  • Advantageous embodiments are described in the dependent claims.
  • the assembly according to the present invention is intended to be fixed on a container of fluid and more particularly on a container neck (not shown) which can be any.
  • the fluid contained in the container may be a liquid, a lotion, a cream, a perfume, a viscous product, a pasty product, a pharmaceutical product or a drug substance embedded, dispersed or dissolved in a propellant.
  • the assembly according to the invention advantageously comprises two constituent elements, namely a fixing ring 1 and a seal 2, generally called a neck seal.
  • the fixing ring 1 may be any element adapted to be fixed on a container neck.
  • the fixing ring 1 illustrated on the figure 1 is advantageously standard type.
  • This ring preferably comprises a mounting portion 10, a radial flange 11 and an axial side wall 12.
  • the mounting portion 10 extends upwards from the radial flange 11, while the side wall 12 extends axially downwardly from the radial flange 11.
  • the structure of this ring fixation is purely illustrative, the present invention being applicable to all types of rings.
  • the function of the mounting wall 10 is to maintain a dispensing member 3 in a fixed engagement, for example a pump. In this case, this function is fulfilled by crimping or snapping the fixing ring onto the dispensing member 3.
  • the pump shown in FIG. figure 1 may be of any type, and will therefore not be described more fully below.
  • the dispensing member is not necessarily a pump.
  • a valve able to release an aerosol fluid product contained in the container, could also be implemented.
  • the side wall 12 has the particular function of fixing the fixing ring 1 to the neck of the container once the neck seal 2 correctly positioned. Its positioning will be further explained below.
  • the attachment of the ring to the neck can be done by screwing, snapping, or crimping the ring on the neck of the container.
  • the ring illustrated on the figure 1 is a crimp ring.
  • the neck seal 2 generally has an annular configuration. Such a seal has an upper surface 20 and a lower surface 21, which can both be substantially planar.
  • the seal 2 further comprises an inner lateral edge 22 and an outer lateral edge 23.
  • the inner lateral edge 22 defines a generally circular mounting opening through which the dispensing member 3 can extend.
  • the neck seal 2 in order to facilitate the mounting of the fixing and sealing assembly on the neck of the container and to obtain a perfect seal of the neck, the neck seal 2 is preassembled in a tight engagement in the fixing ring. It is then maintained in the constrained state in the ring before and after fixing this assembly on the neck of the container. According to an advantageous characteristic, this attachment of the seal 2 in the ring 1 results from the exclusive cooperation of the outer lateral edge 23 of the seal 2 with the ring 1, and in particular with the side wall 12 of the ring.
  • the internal lateral edge 22 of the seal 2 is out of contact with the dispensing member 3.
  • the seal 2 exerts no radial compressive force on the body 30 of the dispenser member 3, in particular on its cylindrical part forming sliding surface of the piston inside, unlike the devices in which the seal is pre-assembled tightly on the body of the dispensing member.
  • the present invention thus eliminates any risk of deformation of said body 30.
  • a space may exist between the body 30 of the dispensing member 3 and the lateral edge internal 22 of the seal, while having a perfect attachment of the seal 2 in the ring 1.
  • Such an embodiment also makes it easy to compensate for the manufacturing tolerances of the seal and simplify the assembly of the seal in the ring.
  • the upper surface 20 of the seal advantageously abuts against the radial flange 11 of the ring. This simplifies the assembly of the seal 2 in the ring 1.
  • the seal comprises one or more fastening profiles ensuring perfect anchoring of the seal in the ring.
  • fastening profiles are illustrated on the Figures 3 and 4 .
  • such fastening profiles are advantageously distributed circumferentially around the side wall of the ring ( figure 3 ) and / or around the outer lateral edge of the joint ( figure 4 ).
  • the presence of one or more fixing profiles (s) facilitates the pre-assembly when the seal is exclusively attached to the ring at its outer lateral edge.
  • the profile (s) limit (s) the friction during the pre-assembly compared to two substantially smooth surfaces.
  • the dimensional accuracy can be less without risk of blockage during the pre-assembly, the profile providing superior deformation capabilities.
  • the seal and the ring therefore do not need to be made with a very high dimensional accuracy.
  • the invention therefore improves the compensation of manufacturing tolerances.
  • the figure 3 shows a first embodiment not forming part of the present invention in which the fixing ring 1 comprises fixing profiles 120. These profiles are angularly spaced at the internal face of the side wall 12 of the fixing ring 1 In this example, these profiles are in the form of internal bulges, of which there are eight in this example, arranged equidistantly on the side wall 12 of the ring being respectively separated from each other by an angle of 45 °.
  • Such a structure thus gives rise to profiles projecting substantially radially inwards from the internal face of the outer lateral wall 12 of the ring, which are able to bite into the outer lateral edge 23 of the seal in order to maintain it.
  • fixative The diameter at the radial ends of said bulges is therefore less than or equal to the diameter of the outer lateral edge 23 of the seal 2 to ensure a tight attachment thereof.
  • the figure 4 shows an embodiment according to the invention in which it is the neck seal 2 which comprises fastening profiles 230.
  • These profiles comprise several external protuberances, in this case three, distributed equi-angularly around the outer lateral edge 23 of the seal.
  • These protuberances spaced at an angle of 120 ° relative to each other, thus protrude radially outwardly from the outer lateral edge 23 of the seal 2 so as to ensure a clamp against the side wall of the seal ring. fixation.
  • the diameter at the radial ends of said protuberances is therefore greater than or equal to the internal diameter of the side wall 12 of the ring 1 to ensure tight fixing of the seal.
  • This implementation has the advantage of being able to use a standard fixing ring, such as a standard crimping cap, which does not need to be modified in order to premount said seal. This reduces manufacturing and assembly costs.
  • the side wall of the ring which in the above examples is defined as also forming the fastening means (crimping, screwing, snapping or other) of the ring on the neck, could also be an intermediate side wall, devoid of such fixing means, being for example between the mounting part and a specific fixing part dedicated to fixing the ring on the neck. This intermediate side wall could then be used to hold the neck gasket in the ring. It is also conceivable to provide fastening profiles both on the seal 2 and on the ring 1.
