Definitions
- the invention relates to a vial containing an alcoholic perfume solution of the type comprising a transparent or at least translucent body which is surmounted by a ring provided with an opening on which a pump for dispensing the solution is associated.
- the pump comprises a pump body on which is mounted a plunger tube via an association part, said tube being immersed in the solution to allow the supply of said pump in solution to be dispensed.
- the dip tube is conventionally made of a polymeric material which is colorless, transparent and easily extrudable in the form of small tubes.
- the materials used for said tubes must have suitable mechanical characteristics to allow their association with the pump body at high speeds, and have sufficient resilience to find a substantially straight configuration after winding around a storage coil.
- the materials used according to the prior art are polypropylene or polymethylpentene type.
- dip tubes have the disadvantage of being visible when immersed in the alcoholic perfume solution, which affects the aesthetics of the product.
- the invention aims to allow the industrial production of a bottle having different characteristics that help to make at least the dip tube invisible in an alcoholic solution of perfume.
- the invention proposes a bottle containing an alcoholic perfume solution, said bottle comprising a transparent or at least translucent body which is surmounted by a ring provided with an opening on which a pump for dispensing the solution is associated, said pump comprising a pump body on which is mounted a plunger tube via an association part, said tube being immersed in the solution to allow supply of said pump in solution to be dispensed, wherein the plunger tube is made of fluoropolymer material.
- Figures 1 and 2 are side views of a bottle according to the invention, respectively without ( Figure 1) and with ( Figure 2) a ring mounted on the ring;
- FIGS. 3 to 8 are partial views and in longitudinal section showing the mounting of a pump on the ring of a bottle respectively according to one embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 9 is a partial view in longitudinal section showing the association portion of the dip tube of a bottle according to the invention.
- the bottle comprises a body 2 which is transparent or at least translucent, for example made of glass or colorless or weakly colored plastic material.
- the body 2 is intended to contain the solution by allowing its visualization by the user.
- the body 2 is surmounted by a ring 3 which is provided with an opening on which a pump 4 of distribution of the solution is associated.
- the figures represent an association of the pump 4 on the outside of the ring 3 by means of a cup 5, without the invention being limited to this particular embodiment.
- the pump 4 comprises a pump body 6 on which is mounted in the lower part a dip tube 7 via an association portion 8.
- the dip tube 7 is immersed in the solution 1 to allow the supply of said pump in solution to distribute.
- the pump body 6 and the association portion 8 incorporate functional members (not shown) which, by actuation of a push button 9, allow the solution to be dispensed via a nozzle 10 and a nozzle (not shown)
- a nozzle 10 and a nozzle (not shown)
- a large number of pump arrangements and kinematics are known which allow the distribution, in particular of a perfume, on which the invention can be implemented.
- the dip tube 7 according to the invention is substantially invisible in its portion immersed in the alcoholic perfume solution 1.
- the plunger tube 7 is made of fluoropolymer-based material, for example based on polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), and in particular based on PTFE block copolymer.
- PTFE polytetrafluoroethylene
- the material in which the plunger tube 7 is made is a PTFE-perfluoromethylvinylether (MFA) block copolymer or a PTFE-Ethylene-Hexafluoropropylene-Fluoroterpolymer (EFEP) block copolymer.
- MFA PTFE-perfluoromethylvinylether
- EFEP PTFE-Ethylene-Hexafluoropropylene-Fluoroterpolymer
- the material is an amorphous PTFE PT Teflon type.
- the plunger tubes 7 made of one of the abovementioned materials exhibit improved invisibility characteristics when they are immersed. in an alcoholic solution 1 containing essential oils of perfume.
- these materials have the advantage of being easily extruded into small tubes, and to have resilience. sufficient not to keep the curvature memory imposed during reel storage.
- an invisible plunger tube 7 makes it possible to identify the flasks with respect to the same flasks comprising a visible tube, such as, for example, any flasks of perfume marketed in breach of rights held on said flasks.
- the dip tube 7 may comprise a marking, for example made by laser etching or by printing on an area of the periphery of said tube.
- the marking may be in the form of a decoration, a text, a geometric shape. The combination between the invisible nature of the plunger tube 7 and the presence of the marking then gives the visual impression that said marking is levitated in the alcoholic perfume solution 1.
- the invention also provides that the pump body 6 can be made of a transparent material or at least translucent.
- the pump 4 comprises functional members that are potentially visible in the body 2 of the bottle, in particular when said members are arranged near or in the association portion 8, the invention provides for making said bodies of material transparent or at least translucent.
- the pump 4 comprises an intake valve of the solution which is provided in the association part 8, said valve comprising a ball made of transparent material or at least translucent.
- the pump 4 comprises a spring in the lower part, it is also envisaged to make this spring transparent material or at least translucent.
- the transparent or at least translucent material is based on polypropylene.
- the spring can be positioned in a hidden zone entirely included inside the ring 3 of the bottle.
- the bottle comprises an upper wall 11 on which the ring 3 is formed by means of a connection fillet 12 whose lower end is contained in a substantially transverse plane P1.
- This plane P1 is defined in particular by the intersection between the generatrix of the upper wall 11 and the generatrix of the opening of the ring 3.
- the lower end 13 of the pump body 6 is located substantially in or above the transverse plane P1.
- lower end 13 of the pump body 6 is meant the zone which is adjacent to the association part 8.
- the body 6 has an upper cylindrical portion and an association portion 8 having two successive diameters.
- the lower end 13 is the zone comprising the connection rim with the association part 8.
- the body 6 has an upper cylindrical portion and the association portion 8 has a beveled outer profile 14 which extends from the lower end 13 of said body.
- the association portion 8 may have a reduced dimension and the presence of the bevelled profile 14 makes it possible to confer an optical effect which limits the visibility of the lower end of the pump 4.
- the bottle further comprises a hoop 15 which is mounted around the ring 3, the lower end of said hoop bearing, in a substantially transverse plane P2, on the upper face of the wall 11. frette 15 thus makes it possible to mask the zone of association of the pump 4 on the ring 3.
- the lower end 13 of the body 6 is located substantially in the plane P1.
- the lower end 16 of the association portion 8 that is to say the area from which the dip tube 7 is visible, is located substantially in the plane P1.
- the lower end 13 of the body 6 is located substantially in the plane P2.
- the lower end 16 of the association portion 8 is located substantially in the plane P2.
- an association portion 8 comprising a bore 17 in which a portion of the plunger tube 7 is fitted.
- a plunger tube 7 made of fluoropolymer poses problems of fitting, in particular of reliability and of high speed production thereof, in particular because of the anti-adhesive properties of this material and its low resistance to creep.
- the fitting of a cylindrical tube of fluoropolymer in a cylindrical bore is not entirely satisfactory, even in case of slight increase in the thickness of the tube.
- the invention proposes to make a bore 17 comprising an internal profile having at least one projecting zone 18 with respect to the bore diameter which corresponds to the diameter of the portion of the tube 7 which is fitted.
- the fitting is made reliable by increasing the clamping force of the tube 7 on the projecting zone 18, and the fitting force can be substantially constant since the clamping surface on the projecting zone 18 is also constant. during the fitting.
- the bore 17 has a polygonal profile which comprises axial faces protruding from the diameter of the circumscribed cylinder, said diameter being substantially equal to that of the portion of the tube 7 which is fitted.
- the bore 17 has an annular projection 18 of restricted diameter which is formed at the junction between a converging lower portion 19 and a diverging upper portion 20.
- the projection 18 may comprise an upper recess in which a tube bead 7 may be placed by creep during fitting so as to make the retention of said tube in the bore 17 more reliable.
- the convergent bottom portion 19 has an inlet diameter which is greater than the part of the tube 7 which is fitted, so as to form a chamfer facilitating the passage of the tube 7 in the bore 17.
- the diverging upper portion 20 has an outlet diameter which is substantially equal to that of the portion of the tube 7 which is fitted, said portion further finishing on an axial stop 21 defining the end of the fitting stroke.
