Description

La présente invention concerne les articles comportant un dispositif de conditionnement et un habillage disposé autour de ce dispositif, présentant une structure à mailles.The present invention relates to articles comprising a packaging device and a covering arranged around this device, having a mesh structure.

Il a été proposé dans de nombreuses publications d'habiller un dispositif de conditionnement afin d'en modifier l'aspect.It has been proposed in many publications to dress a packaging device to change the appearance.

La demande de brevet européen EP 0 132 087 décrit ainsi une bouteille contenant une boisson, sur laquelle est enfilée une enveloppe tricotée présentant un bourrelet destiné à en faciliter la préhension. L'extrémité inférieure de l'enveloppe présente un retour non élastique qui permet de retenir la bouteille.The European patent application EP 0 132 087 thus describes a bottle containing a drink, on which is threaded a knitted envelope having a bead intended to facilitate gripping. The lower end of the casing has a non-elastic return that holds the bottle.

Un tel retour peut constituer une gêne pour certains dispositifs de conditionnement tels que par exemple des flacons destinés à contenir des parfums, pour lesquels il peut être souhaitable en vue de la commercialisation de coller une étiquette sur le fond.Such a return can be an inconvenience for certain packaging devices such as for example bottles intended to contain perfumes, for which it may be desirable for marketing to stick a label on the bottom.

La demande de brevet allemand DE 29509594 divulgue un dispositif comportant une bouteille et un habillage constitué de fibres naturelles tressées, avec un resserrement des fibres aux extrémités supérieure et inférieure de la bouteille.The German patent application DE 29509594 discloses a device comprising a bottle and a covering made of natural braided fibers, with a tightening of the fibers at the upper and lower ends of the bottle.

Le brevet US 1 986 256 et les demandes de brevet FR 2 866 319 ou EP 774 415 divulguent des habillages de flacons à cotes de mailles métalliques.The patent US 1,986,256 and patent applications FR 2,866,319 or EP 774 415 disclose flasks of metal mesh size vials.

Les documents WO 00/26099 et EP 0 132 087 divulguent d'autres habillages de flacons.The documents WO 00/26099 and EP 0 132 087 disclose other vial wraps.

L'invention vise à proposer un nouvel article comportant un dispositif de conditionnement et un habillage correspondant, dans lequel l'habillage soit esthétique tout en étant relativement facile à mettre en place et à fixer sur le dispositif de conditionnement, et ne gênant pas l'apposition d'une étiquette sur le fond du dispositif si cela est nécessaire.The invention aims to propose a new article comprising a packaging device and a corresponding covering, in which the covering is aesthetic while being relatively easy to set up and fix on the packaging device, and does not interfere with the packaging. affixing a label on the bottom of the device if necessary.

Selon l'un de ses aspects, l'invention a pour objet :

  • un dispositif de conditionnement présentant une section transversale variable, comportant une première portion et une deuxième portion de section transversale plus petite que la première portion,
  • une résille tubulaire entourant au moins les première et deuxième portions du dispositif de conditionnement, réalisée avec au moins un fil élastiquement déformable de façon à être élastiquement déformable sur toute sa longueur, la résille comportant un premier ensemble de mailles au contact de la première portion du dispositif de conditionnement et un deuxième ensemble de mailles au contact de la deuxième portion du dispositif de conditionnement, les mailles du deuxième ensemble étant par fabrication plus resserrées que celles du premier ensemble.
According to one of its aspects, the object of the invention is:
  • a packaging device having a variable cross section, having a first portion and a second portion of smaller cross section than the first portion,
  • a tubular net surrounding at least the first and second portions of the conditioning device, made with at least one elastically deformable wire so as to be elastically deformable over its entire length, the net comprising a first set of meshes in contact with the first portion of the conditioning device and a second set of meshes in contact with the second portion of the conditioning device, the meshes of the second set being made more tightly than those of the first set.

Le resserrement des mailles du deuxième ensemble de mailles permet d'obtenir une raideur élastique plus importante, ce qui renforce la tenue de la résille sur le dispositif de conditionnement.The tightening of the stitches of the second set of stitches makes it possible to obtain greater elastic stiffness, which strengthens the resistance of the net to the conditioning device.

Le dispositif de conditionnement peut comporter une troisième portion de section transversale plus petite que la première portion, cette dernière étant située entre les deuxième et troisième portions, et la résille peut comporter un troisième ensemble de mailles au contact de la troisième portion du dispositif de conditionnement, les mailles de ce troisième ensemble de mailles étant par fabrication plus resserrées que celles du premier ensemble.The conditioning device may comprise a third portion of smaller cross-section than the first portion, the latter being situated between the second and third portions, and the mesh may comprise a third set of meshes in contact with the third portion of the packaging device. , the stitches of this third set of stitches being made narrower than those of the first set.

La présence des deuxième et troisième ensembles de mailles plus resserrées permet d'assurer un maintien efficace de la résille sur le dispositif de conditionnement, vis-à-vis d'un risque de départ par glissement de la résille par l'une ou l'autre des extrémités du dispositif.The presence of the second and third sets of more narrow mesh ensures effective maintenance of the mesh on the packaging device, vis-à-vis a risk of departure by sliding the mesh by one or the other end of the device.

La deuxième portion du dispositif de conditionnement peut correspondre à une portion inférieure du dispositif et la troisième portion à une portion supérieure.The second portion of the packaging device may correspond to a lower portion of the device and the third portion to an upper portion.

Le dispositif de conditionnement peut comporter un flacon, ce dernier comportant un col définissant au moins partiellement la troisième portion ci-dessus.The packaging device may comprise a bottle, the latter comprising a neck defining at least partially the third portion above.

La dimension axiale de la résille peut être inférieure ou égale à celle du dispositif de conditionnement. La résille peut ainsi s'étendre en retrait d'au moins une extrémité axiale adjacente du dispositif de conditionnement, notamment de son fond.The axial dimension of the mesh may be less than or equal to that of the packaging device. The mesh may thus extend recessed from at least one adjacent axial end of the conditioning device, in particular from its bottom.

La résille peut être sans couture.The fishnet can be seamless.

Les mailles du premier ensemble peuvent être par fabrication de section non constante, afin par exemple de réaliser des motifs décoratifs.The meshes of the first set may be manufactured by non-constant section, for example to achieve decorative patterns.

Le deuxième ou le troisième ensemble de mailles peut comporter par exemple entre 5 et 30 rangs de mailles, lesquelles peuvent être pratiquement fermées lorsque la résille est en place. Par « maille fermée », il faut comprendre que les fils définissant la maille se touchent, de sorte que l'ajour défini entre eux est nul ou pratiquement nul, étant par exemple inférieur ou égal à 1 mm2.The second or third set of stitches may comprise for example between 5 and 30 rows of stitches, which may be practically closed when the stitch is in place. By "closed mesh", it should be understood that the threads defining the mesh are touching, so that the gap defined between them is zero or virtually zero, being for example less than or equal to 1 mm 2 .

La résille peut comporter un fil comprenant de l'élasthanne et/ou un polyamide, par exemple un fil comportant 20 % d'élasthanne et 80 % de Nylon®. La résille, sous forme tubulaire, présente de préférence un allongement, avant rupture, supérieur ou égal à 400 %, dans le sens longitudinal. La résille, sous forme tubulaire, lorsqu'elle est aplatie, présente de préférence localement dans la première portion un allongement, avant rupture, supérieur ou égal à 1000 % dans le sens transversal et dans la deuxième portion un allongement, avant rupture, supérieur ou égal à 600 % dans le sens transversal.The mesh may comprise a wire including spandex and / or a polyamide, for example a wire having 20% elastane and 80% nylon ®. The fishnet, in tubular form, preferably has an elongation, before rupture, greater than or equal to 400%, in the longitudinal direction. The fishnet, in tubular form, when flattened, preferably has locally in the first portion an elongation, before rupture, greater than or equal to 1000% in the transverse direction and in the second portion an elongation, before rupture, greater or equal to 600% in the transverse direction.

La résille peut être maintenue sur le dispositif de conditionnement uniquement par friction, et peut être enlevée en la faisant glisser manuellement vers l'une des extrémités du dispositif de conditionnement.The mesh can be held on the packaging device only by friction, and can be removed by manually sliding it to one end of the packaging device.

La résille peut comporter au moins un noeud venu de tricotage, diminuant le périmètre intérieur de la résille, situé au niveau de la deuxième portion du dispositif de conditionnement.The mesh may comprise at least one node knitted, decreasing the inner perimeter of the mesh, located at the second portion of the packaging device.

Le ou les noeuds permettent d'éviter que la résille ne remonte facilement vers la première portion du dispositif de conditionnement et contribuent ainsi à son maintien en place sur le dispositif de conditionnement.The node or nodes prevent the mesh easily goes back to the first portion of the packaging device and thus contribute to its retention in place on the packaging device.

Le ou les noeuds peuvent appartenir au deuxième ensemble de mailles.The node or nodes may belong to the second set of meshes.

Le troisième ensemble de mailles peut être dépourvu d'un ou plusieurs noeuds tels que rencontrés sur le deuxième ensemble de mailles.The third set of meshes may be devoid of one or more knots as encountered on the second set of stitches.

L'invention a encore pour objet un procédé d'habillage d'un dispositif de conditionnement tel que défini plus haut, comportant l'étape consistant à faire glisser dessus la résille.The invention further relates to a dressing method of a packaging device as defined above, comprising the step of sliding above the fishnet.

L'invention pourra être mieux comprise à la lecture de la description détaillée qui va suivre, d'un exemple de mise en oeuvre non limitatif de celle-ci, et à l'examen du dessin annexé, sur lequel :

  • la figure 1 représente en élévation un exemple d'article réalisé conformément à l'invention,
  • la figure 2 représente isolément, à plat, la résille du flacon de la figure 1, avant montage sur celui-ci,
  • les figures 3 et 4 représentent à échelle agrandie, avec distorsion éventuelle des mailles, des exemples de structure de mailles aux emplacements III et IV de la figure 1,

  • la figure 8 représente de manière schématique, à échelle agrandie, une région de la résille selon une variante de réalisation, comportant un noeud de resserrement des mailles.
The invention will be better understood on reading the following detailed description of an example of non-limiting implementation thereof, and on examining the appended drawing, in which:
  • the figure 1 represents in elevation an example of an article produced according to the invention,
  • the figure 2 stands alone, flat, the fishnet of the bottle of the figure 1 , before mounting on it,
  • the Figures 3 and 4 represent on an enlarged scale, with possible distortion of the meshes, examples of mesh structure at sites III and IV of the figure 1 ,
  • the figure 5 represents in isolation the conditioning device of the figure 1 ,
  • the figure 6 represents in isolation, flat, a string of fishnet according to an embodiment variant,
  • the figure 7 represents in view from below the article according to an alternative embodiment, and
  • the figure 8 schematically represents, on an enlarged scale, a region of the mesh according to an embodiment variant, comprising a mesh tightening knot.

L'article 1 représenté à la figure 1 comporte un dispositif de conditionnement 2, représenté isolément à la figure 5, et un habillage formé d'une résille tubulaire 3 engagée sur le dispositif de conditionnement 2. La résille est ouverte à ses deux extrémités axiales.Article 1 represented at figure 1 comprises a conditioning device 2, shown separately in FIG. figure 5 , and a dressing formed of a tubular mesh 3 engaged on the conditioning device 2. The mesh is open at both axial ends.

Dans l'exemple illustré, le dispositif de conditionnement 2 est un flacon d'axe longitudinal X, et de section transversale variable en fonction de la position sur l'axe longitudinal X.In the example illustrated, the conditioning device 2 is a bottle of longitudinal axis X, and of variable cross section depending on the position on the longitudinal axis X.

Plus particulièrement, le dispositif de conditionnement 2 comporte, comme on le voit sur la figure 5, une première portion 10, la plus large, formant la majeure partie du corps du flacon, une deuxième portion 11 prolongeant la première portion vers le bas, de section transversale diminuant vers le bas, et une troisième portion 12 prolongeant la première portion vers le haut définissant le col 14 du flacon et l'épaulement à sa base.More particularly, the conditioning device 2 comprises, as seen on the figure 5 , a first portion 10, the widest, forming the major part of the body of the bottle, a second portion 11 extending the first portion downwards, of decreasing cross section downwards, and a third portion 12 extending the first portion towards the top defining the neck 14 of the bottle and the shoulder at its base.

La première portion 10 présente par exemple une plus grande section transversale qui est au moins le double de la plus petite section transversale de la deuxième portion 11 ou de la troisième portion 12.The first portion 10 has for example a larger cross section which is at least twice the smallest cross section of the second portion 11 or the third portion 12.

Le dispositif 2 peut être muni d'un moyen de distribution du produit contenu à l'intérieur, comportant par exemple une pompe 15 munie d'un tube plongeur 7.The device 2 may be provided with a means of dispensing the product contained therein, comprising for example a pump 15 provided with a plunger tube 7.

Un bouchon 17 peut se fixer sur le col 14 pour protéger le bouton-poussoir de la pompe 15 en l'absence d'utilisation.A cap 17 can be fixed on the neck 14 to protect the push button of the pump 15 in the absence of use.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée à un dispositif de conditionnement particulier et ce dernier peut par exemple être un flacon dépourvu d'un mécanisme de distribution tel qu'une pompe, comportant par exemple une simple ouverture à travers laquelle le produit contenu dans le flacon peut être déversé.Of course, the invention is not limited to a particular packaging device and the latter may for example be a bottle without a dispensing mechanism such as a pump, for example having a simple opening through which the product contained in the vial can be spilled.

Le dispositif de conditionnement 2 peut encore comporter un autre mécanisme de distribution tel qu'une valve aérosol, par exemple, ou un élément d'application tel qu'une mousse, membrane, embout floqué, peigne, brosse ou pinceau. Le dispositif de conditionnement 2 peut encore être un étui équipé d'un mécanisme de distribution d'un produit en stick ou un récipient muni d'un applicateur amovible.The packaging device 2 may also include another dispensing mechanism such as an aerosol valve, for example, or an application element such as a foam, membrane, flocked tip, comb, brush or brush. The device packaging 2 may still be a case equipped with a dispensing mechanism of a stick product or a container provided with a removable applicator.

La résille 3 comporte une portion principale 20 qui s'étend par exemple sur au moins la moitié de la longueur totale de la résille et des portions d'extrémités 21 et 22 destinées à s'engager respectivement sur les portions inférieure 11 et supérieure 12 du dispositif de conditionnement 2.The mesh 3 comprises a main portion 20 which extends for example over at least half of the total length of the mesh and end portions 21 and 22 intended to engage respectively on the lower portions 11 and upper 12 of the conditioning device 2.

La résille 3 est dans l'exemple illustré une résille sans couture, qui est réalisée avec un fil à haute élasticité, par exemple un fil comportant 80 % de Nylon® et 20 % d'élasthanne.The mesh 3 is in the example illustrated a seamless mesh, which is made with a high elasticity thread, for example a thread comprising 80% nylon ® and 20% elastane.

La résille 3 peut être réalisée en mailles jetées, par exemple sur un métier Rachel ou Jacquart.The mesh 3 can be made in knit stitches, for example on a Rachel or Jacquart loom.

Dans la portion principale 20, la structure de la maille peut être choisie de manière à présenter des motifs décoratifs, avec par exemple des rangées de mailles s'étendant obliquement relativement à l'axe longitudinal du dispositif de conditionnement 2.In the main portion 20, the structure of the mesh may be chosen so as to have decorative patterns, for example with rows of stitches extending obliquely relative to the longitudinal axis of the conditioning device 2.

On a représenté à la figure 4 un exemple de structure des mailles dans la région IV de la figure 1. Les fils délimitant les mailles sont noués entre eux.We have shown figure 4 an example of mesh structure in region IV of the figure 1 . The threads defining the stitches are knotted together.

Les dimensions de la résille 3 avant son montage sur le dispositif de conditionnement 2 sont telles que la portion principale 20 de la résille 3 soit tendue une fois sur le dispositif de conditionnement 2. Le périmètre de la résille 3, entre l'état non monté sur le dispositif de conditionnement 2 et l'état après montage sur le dispositif de conditionnement 2, augmente par exemple d'un facteur d'au moins 1,5, de préférence d'au moins 3,5 là où le périmètre du dispositif de conditionnement 2 est maximal.The dimensions of the mesh 3 before its mounting on the packaging device 2 are such that the main portion 20 of the mesh 3 is stretched once on the packaging device 2. The perimeter of the mesh 3, between the unassembled state on the conditioning device 2 and the state after mounting on the conditioning device 2, increases for example by a factor of at least 1.5, preferably at least 3.5 where the perimeter of the device conditioning 2 is maximal.

Dans l'exemple considéré, la résille 3 est fabriquée avec une forme cylindrique de révolution sans faire apparaître de tension sensible dans les fils.In the example considered, the mesh 3 is manufactured with a cylindrical shape of revolution without revealing a sensitive tension in the son.

Les portions d'extrémité 21 et 22 visent à assurer le maintien de la résille 3 sur le dispositif de conditionnement 2, sans qu'il soit nécessaire de prévoir la couture d'un lien élastique sur la résille 3 ni la fixation de celle-ci au moyen d'un adhésif.The end portions 21 and 22 are intended to ensure the retention of the mesh 3 on the packaging device 2, without it being necessary to provide the seaming of an elastic link on the mesh 3 or the fastening thereof. by means of an adhesive.

La partie d'extrémité inférieure 21 peut se situer légèrement en retrait du fond 30 du dispositif de conditionnement 2, ne recouvrant pas celui-ci, ce qui permet de laisser celui-ci accessible, pour y coller par exemple une étiquette d'identification du produit et/ou de prix.The lower end portion 21 may be slightly recessed from the bottom 30 of the conditioning device 2, not covering the latter, which makes it possible to leave it accessible, for example to stick an identification label of the product and / or price.

La hauteur des extrémités 21 et 22 est par exemple d'au moins 4 mm, avec par exemple une tolérance de coupe semi-automatique de plus ou moins 2 mm.The height of the ends 21 and 22 is for example at least 4 mm, with for example a semiautomatic cutting tolerance of plus or minus 2 mm.

La partie d'extrémité supérieure 22 peut, le cas échéant, comme illustré, être plus haute que la partie d'extrémité inférieure 21, afin d'habiller davantage la base du col 14.The upper end portion 22 may, where appropriate, as illustrated, be higher than the lower end portion 21, to further dress the base of the neck 14.

On a représenté à la figure 3 la structure des mailles dans l'une des régions d'extrémité 21 ou 22, en distendant sur cette figure les mailles pour la clarté du dessin. En effet, lorsque la résille 3 est en place, les mailles sont pratiquement fermées, comme on le voit sur la figure 1.We have shown figure 3 the mesh structure in one of the end regions 21 or 22, by extending in this figure the stitches for the clarity of the drawing. Indeed, when the mesh 3 is in place, the meshes are practically closed, as we see on the figure 1 .

Le nombre de rangs de mailles dans les parties d'extrémité 21 et 22 est par exemple supérieur à une dizaine. Ces rangs de mailles peuvent s'étendre par exemple chacun dans un plan sensiblement perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal de la résille, avant son montage sur le dispositif de conditionnement 2.The number of rows of stitches in the end portions 21 and 22 is for example greater than ten. These rows of meshes may for example each extend in a plane substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the mesh, before it is mounted on the conditioning device 2.

Les parties d'extrémité 21 et 22 s'appliquent, en cas de glissement de la résille 3 sur le dispositif de conditionnement 2, avec une force relativement grande sur le dispositif de conditionnement 2, compte-tenu de leur raideur élastique, ce qui permet de retenir la résille 3 sur celui-ci.The end portions 21 and 22 apply, in case of sliding of the mesh 3 on the conditioning device 2, with a relatively large force on the conditioning device 2, given their elastic stiffness, which allows to retain the fishnet 3 on it.

La région d'extrémité 21 de la résille peut comporter, comme illustré à la figure 7, au moins un noeud 60, en l'espèce deux noeuds 60 diamétralement opposés, qui réduisent son périmètre intérieur. Les noeuds 60 font nettement saillie sur la résille lorsque celle-ci est en place.The end region 21 of the mesh may comprise, as illustrated in FIG. figure 7 , at least one node 60, in this case two diametrically opposed nodes 60, which reduce its inner perimeter. The nodes 60 protrude clearly on the mesh when it is in place.

Les noeuds 60 sont formés lors du tricotage, par exemple en réduisant progressivement le nombre d'aiguilles sur lesquelles est tricotée la résille. La résille est par exemple tricotée sur des fontures rectilignes et les aiguilles de bord sont progressivement libérées vers l'intérieur.The knots 60 are formed during knitting, for example by gradually reducing the number of needles on which the mesh is knitted. The mesh is for example knitted on rectilinear beds and the edge needles are gradually released inwards.

Les parties d'extrémités 21 et 22 peuvent être tricotées avec des motifs linéaires 64 qui s'étendent longitudinalement. Ces motifs 64 convergent vers les noeuds, comme on peut le voir sur les figures 7 et 8.The end portions 21 and 22 may be knitted with linear patterns 64 which extend longitudinally. These patterns 64 converge towards the nodes, as can be seen in the Figures 7 and 8 .

La résille 3 est par exemple découpée dans un chapelet de résilles plates que l'on a représenté schématiquement et partiellement à la figure 6.The mesh 3 is for example cut into a string of flat fishnet which is shown schematically and partially to the figure 6 .

Deux résilles 3 du chapelet peuvent être séparées par une zone de jonction 70 tricotée différemment, afin de faciliter le repérage visuel des résilles 3 au sein du chapelet.Two fishnet 3 of the rosary can be separated by a junction zone 70 knitted differently, to facilitate the visual identification of the fishnet 3 within the rosary.

La résille 3 peut être réalisée dans un même fil ou en variante dans un mélange de différents fils, par exemple des fils présentant des couleurs différentes et/ou des propriétés élastiques et/ou des tailles différentes.The mesh 3 may be made in the same thread or alternatively in a mixture of different threads, for example son having different colors and / or elastic properties and / or different sizes.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée à l'exemple illustré.Of course, the invention is not limited to the illustrated example.

L'expression « comportant un » doit être comprise comme étant synonyme de « comportant au moins un », sauf si la contraire est spécifié.The expression "having one" shall be understood as being synonymous with "having at least one" unless the contrary is specified.
