The skirt is deformable on the neck to sealingly fix the pump on the neck, where the wall of the skirt includes a gadroon (21) i.e. slide, retaining the pump in the opening during deformation of the skirt. The gadroon is projected relative to the internal diameter to form an inscribed diameter lower than diameter of the wall (17).

Description

L'invention concerne un flacon de distribution d'un produit fluide, notamment d'un liquide ou d'une crème, par exemple un parfum, un produit cosmétique ou un produit pharmaceutique.The invention relates to a dispensing bottle for a fluid product, in particular a liquid or a cream, for example a perfume, a cosmetic product or a pharmaceutical product.

On connaît de tels flacons comprenant un corps définissant un réservoir de conditionnement du produit, un col surmontant ledit corps en définissant une ouverture supérieure pour ledit réservoir, et une pompe montée dans ladite ouverture supérieure en disposant les moyens d'alimentation de ladite pompe à l'intérieure dudit réservoir.Such bottles are known comprising a body defining a product conditioning tank, a neck surmounting said body by defining an upper opening for said tank, and a pump mounted in said upper opening by disposing the supply means of said pump to the tank. interior of said tank.

Pour assurer le positionnement et la fixation de la pompe sur le col, on peut utiliser un collet comprenant une jupe externe dont la paroi latérale présente un diamètre nominal interne qui est agencé pour entourer une paroi latérale dudit col de sorte à positionner ladite pompe dans l'ouverture. Ensuite, par déformation de ladite jupe sur le col, la fixation étanche est réalisée.To ensure the positioning and fixing of the pump on the neck, it is possible to use a collar comprising an outer skirt whose side wall has a nominal internal diameter which is arranged to surround a side wall of said neck so as to position said pump in the 'opening. Then, by deformation of said skirt on the neck, the waterproof fastening is performed.

En particulier, le collet peut être réalisé en matériau déformable, notamment en aluminium, afin d'être déformé par sertissage sous le col.In particular, the collar may be made of deformable material, in particular aluminum, to be deformed by crimping under the neck.

Selon une autre réalisation, le collet peut être réalisé en matériau plastique pour comprendre des griffes qui sont rabattues sous le col lors de l'étape de déformation. Pour ce faire, on connaît notamment du document US-4 773 553 l'utilisation d'une bague coulissante autour du collet entre une position haute et une position basse, lesdites griffes étant agencées pour être rabattues lors du déplacement en position basse de ladite bague.In another embodiment, the collar may be made of plastic material to include claws that are folded under the neck during the deformation step. To do this, we know in particular the document US-4,773,553 the use of a sliding ring around the collar between a high position and a low position, said claws being arranged to be folded during the displacement in the low position of said ring.

Cette bague, notamment réalisée en matériau rigide, forme ainsi outil de rabattement des griffes et permet d'assurer le maintien dans le temps des griffes en position rabattue, notamment relativement aux variations de température. En outre, elle peut procurer un effet esthétique en formant enjoliveur de masquage de la partie inférieure de la pompe.This ring, in particular made of rigid material, thus forms a tool for folding the claws and makes it possible to maintain the claws in the folded position over time, especially with regard to temperature variations. In addition, it can provide an aesthetic effect by forming hubcap masking the lower part of the pump.

Le problème qui se pose avec l'utilisation des collets selon l'art antérieur est que le positionnement et la fixation de la pompe sont réalisés en deux étapes distinctes qui peuvent nécessiter un convoyage entre un poste de dépose de la pompe et un poste de déformation du collet. Or, avant déformation, le positionnement de la pompe ne présente pas une stabilité suffisante pour garantir le maintien de la pompe en position de fixation, ledit maintien étant pourtant déterminant pour assurer l'étanchéité et la fiabilité mécanique de la fixation.The problem that arises with the use of the collars according to the prior art is that the positioning and fixing of the pump are carried out in two distinct stages which may require a conveyance between a pump removal station and a deformation station. collar. However, before deformation, the positioning of the pump does not have sufficient stability to ensure the maintenance of the pump in the fixing position, said maintenance is nevertheless critical to ensure the sealing and mechanical reliability of the fastener.

Ce problème est d'autant plus critique dans le cas où les moyens d'alimentation de la pompe comprennent un tube plongeur qui, en venant en appui sur le fond du réservoir lors du positionnement, tend à déstabiliser la pompe positionnée dans le col. En effet, le tube plongeur est alors légèrement déformé élastiquement et la relaxation de cette déformation après le positionnement exerce alors un effort sur la pompe. En particulier, lorsque l'extrémité inférieure du tube plongeur est positionnée en appui sur un bord du fond du réservoir, un effort de basculement est appliqué sur la pompe.This problem is all the more critical in the case where the pump supply means comprise a dip tube which, by bearing on the bottom of the tank during positioning, tends to destabilize the pump positioned in the neck. Indeed, the dip tube is then slightly elastically deformed and the relaxation of this deformation after positioning then exerts a force on the pump. In particular, when the lower end of the dip tube is positioned in abutment on an edge of the bottom of the tank, a tilting force is applied to the pump.

Préalablement à la fixation, il en résulte donc un risque que la pompe se mette en travers dans l'ouverture du col, ce risque étant d'autant plus critique avec des flacons relativement courts et larges pour lesquels la composante radiale de l'effort de basculement est plus importante.Prior to the fixation, it therefore results in a risk that the pump is thrown across the opening of the neck, this risk being all the more critical with relatively short and wide bottles for which the radial component of the effort of tipping is more important.

L'invention vise à perfectionner l'art antérieur en proposant notamment un flacon de distribution dans lequel, préalablement à la réalisation de la fixation de la pompe sur le col, le collet est agencé pour stabiliser le positionnement de ladite pompe dans l'ouverture dudit col.The invention aims to improve the prior art by proposing in particular a dispensing bottle in which, prior to the achievement of fixing the pump on the neck, the collar is arranged to stabilize the positioning of said pump in the opening of said collar.

A cet effet, l'invention propose un flacon de distribution d'un produit fluide, comprenant un corps définissant un réservoir de conditionnement dudit produit, un col surmontant ledit corps en définissant une ouverture supérieure pour ledit réservoir, et une pompe montée dans ladite ouverture supérieure en disposant les moyens d'alimentation de ladite pompe à l'intérieur dudit réservoir, ledit flacon comprenant en outre un collet de positionnement et de fixation de ladite pompe sur ledit col, ledit collet comprenant une jupe externe dont la paroi latérale présente un diamètre nominal interne qui est agencé pour entourer une paroi latérale dudit col de sorte à positionner ladite pompe dans l'ouverture, ladite jupe étant ensuite déformée sur ledit col pour assurer la fixation, dans lequel la paroi latérale de la jupe externe est pourvue d'au moins un godron de maintien en position de la pompe dans l'ouverture préalablement à la déformation, ledit godron étant formé en saillie par rapport au diamètre nominal interne de sorte à former un diamètre inscrit, ledit diamètre inscrit étant inférieur au diamètre de la paroi latérale du col.For this purpose, the invention proposes a bottle for dispensing a fluid product, comprising a body defining a container for packaging said product, a neck surmounting said body by defining an upper opening for said tank, and a pump mounted in said opening. superior by arranging the supply means of said pump inside said reservoir, said vial further comprising a collar for positioning and fixing said pump on said neck, said collar comprising an outer skirt whose side wall has a nominal internal diameter which is arranged to surround a side wall of said neck so as to position said pump in the opening, said skirt then being deformed on said neck to ensure fixation, in which the lateral wall of the outer skirt is provided with at least one godron for holding the pump in position in the opening prior to deformation, said godron being protruded from the internal nominal diameter so as to form an inscribed diameter, said inscribed diameter being smaller than the diameter of the side wall of the neck.

Dans la description, les termes de positionnement dans l'espace sont pris en référence à la position du flacon représenté sur les figures.In the description, the spatial positioning terms are taken with reference to the position of the bottle shown in the figures.

En relation avec les figures, on décrit ci-dessous un flacon destiné à contenir un produit fluide en vue de sa distribution. Dans des exemples particuliers, le produit peut être un liquide ou une crème, par exemple un parfum, un produit cosmétique ou un produit pharmaceutique.In connection with the figures, there is described below a bottle for containing a fluid for distribution. In particular examples, the product may be a liquid or a cream, for example a perfume, a cosmetic product or a pharmaceutical product.

Le flacon peut être formé en verre pour comprendre un corps (non représenté) définissant un réservoir de conditionnement du produit, ledit corps étant surmonté par un col 1 formé d'une seule pièce avec ledit corps en définissant une ouverture supérieure pour ledit réservoir. Dans le mode de réalisation décrit, le col 1 est de type à carnette tel que normalisé par la norme FEA en Europe, sans que l'invention ne soit limitée à un tel type de col.The vial may be formed of glass to include a body (not shown) defining a product conditioning reservoir, said body being surmounted by a neck 1 formed integrally with said body defining an upper opening for said reservoir. In the embodiment described, the neck 1 is of carnette type as standardized by the FEA standard in Europe, without the invention being limited to such a type of neck.

Le flacon de distribution comprend également une pompe montée dans l'ouverture supérieure en disposant les moyens d'alimentation de ladite pompe à l'intérieur du réservoir. La pompe représentée comprend un corps 2 dont la périphérie est montée sans serrage dans l'ouverture, ledit corps comprenant une portée radiale supérieure 3 qui est en appui axial sur la paroi supérieure 4 du col 1.The dispensing bottle also comprises a pump mounted in the upper opening by arranging the supply means of said pump inside the tank. The pump shown comprises a body 2 whose periphery is mounted without clamping in the opening, said body comprising an upper radial bearing surface 3 which bears axially on the upper wall 4 of the neck 1.

Le corps 2 présente une partie inférieure qui est pourvue d'un orifice d'alimentation équipé d'une bille 5 formant clapet. Les moyens d'alimentation comprennent un tube plongeur 6 présentant une partie supérieure fixée dans l'orifice et une partie inférieure contre le fond du réservoir, notamment contre un bord dudit fond.The body 2 has a lower portion which is provided with a feed port equipped with a ball 5 forming a valve. The feed means comprise a dip tube 6 having an upper part fixed in the orifice and a lower part against the bottom of the tank, in particular against an edge of said bottom.

Par ailleurs, la pompe comprend un bouton poussoir 7 équipé d'un orifice de distribution 8, ledit bouton actionnant en translation réversible un gicleur 9 sur une course de distribution. Un piston 10 est également monté sur le gicleur 9 entre un état d'obturation et un état d'alimentation des orifices 11 du gicleur 9.Furthermore, the pump comprises a push button 7 equipped with a dispensing orifice 8, said button actuating in reversible translation a nozzle 9 on a dispensing stroke. A piston 10 is also mounted on the nozzle 9 between a closed state and a supply state of the orifices 11 of the nozzle 9.

Pour assurer le positionnement et la fixation de la pompe sur le col 1, le flacon comprend en outre un collet 12 comprenant une jupe externe annulaire 13 présentant une paroi radiale supérieure 14 qui est pourvue d'une ouverture dans laquelle la pompe est montée, ladite paroi radiale recouvrant la paroi supérieure 4 du col 1. Plus précisément, l'ouverture du collet 12 est surmontée par une jupe annulaire supérieure 15 dans laquelle le gicleur 9 de la pompe est guidé en coulissement sur sa course de distribution.To ensure the positioning and fixing of the pump on the neck 1, the bottle further comprises a collar 12 comprising an annular outer skirt 13 having an upper radial wall 14 which is provided with an opening in which the pump is mounted, said radial wall covering the upper wall 4 of the neck 1. More precisely, the opening of the collar 12 is overcome by an upper annular skirt 15 in which the nozzle 9 of the pump is slidably guided on its dispensing stroke.

En outre, la paroi radiale 14 est prolongée annulairement par une paroi annulaire latérale 16 qui s'étend vers le bas pour entourer une paroi latérale annulaire 17 du col 1. Plus précisément, la paroi latérale 16 présente un diamètre nominal interne qui est agencé pour entourer la paroi latérale 17 du col 1 de sorte à positionner la pompe dans l'ouverture.. En effet, lors de la dépose de la pompe dans l'ouverture par coulissement axial, la pompe est positionnée par mise en appui de la jupe externe 13 respectivement sur les parois supérieure 4 et latérale 17 du col 1. En particulier, le diamètre nominal interne peut être du même ordre de grandeur que le diamètre de la paroi latérale 17 de sorte à limiter le jeu entre les parois 16, 17.In addition, the radial wall 14 is annularly extended by a lateral annular wall 16 which extends downwards to surround an annular side wall 17 of the neck 1. More precisely, the side wall 16 has a nominal internal diameter which is arranged to surround the side wall 17 of the neck 1 so as to position the pump in the opening. In fact, when the pump is removed from the opening by axial sliding, the pump is positioned by placing the outer skirt in abutment. 13 in particular on the upper and lateral walls 4 of the neck 1. In particular, the internal nominal diameter may be of the same order of magnitude as the diameter of the side wall 17 so as to limit the clearance between the walls 16, 17.

Ensuite, pour assurer la fixation étanche de la pompe sur le col 1, la jupe externe 13 est déformée sur le col 1. Dans les modes de réalisation représentés, la jupe externe 13 est réalisée notamment en matériau plastique pour comprendre des griffes 18 qui sont rabattables sous la paroi latérale 17 du col 1, la déformation de ladite jupe externe comprenant alors le rabattement desdites griffes. Selon une autre réalisation, le collet 12 peut être réalisé en matériau déformable, notamment en matière plastique de type polyoléfine ou bien en aluminium, afin d'être déformé par sertissage sous le col 1.Then, to ensure the tight fixing of the pump on the neck 1, the outer skirt 13 is deformed on the neck 1. In the embodiments shown, the outer skirt 13 is made in particular of plastic material to include claws 18 which are foldable under the side wall 17 of the neck 1, the deformation of said outer skirt then comprising the folding of said claws. According to another embodiment, the collar 12 may be made of deformable material, in particular of plastic material of the polyolefin or aluminum type, in order to be deformed by crimping under the neck 1.

Sur les figures, l'étanchéité de la fixation est réalisée par mise en appui du collet 12 sur une surface 19 de la carnette qui est normalisée à cet effet. En outre, la paroi supérieure 4 du col 1 comprend un jonc d'étanchéité 20 sur lequel la paroi supérieure 14 est en appui étanche. Par ailleurs, de façon non représentée, on peut prévoir d'interposer un joint d'étanchéité entre le collet 12 et le col 1, notamment entre la paroi supérieure 14 de la jupe externe 13 et la paroi supérieure 4 du col 1.In the figures, the sealing of the binding is carried out by pressing the collar 12 on a surface 19 of the bag which is standardized for this purpose. In addition, the upper wall 4 of the neck 1 comprises a sealing ring 20 on which the upper wall 14 is sealingly abutting. Moreover, in a manner not shown, it is possible to interpose a seal between the collar 12 and the neck 1, in particular between the upper wall 14 of the outer skirt 13 and the upper wall 4 of the neck 1.

La paroi latérale 16 de la jupe externe 13 est pourvue d'au moins un godron 21 de maintien en position de la pompe dans l'ouverture préalablement à la déformation du collet 12. En particulier, au moins un jeu de deux godrons 21 diamétralement opposés peut être prévu.The side wall 16 of the outer skirt 13 is provided with at least one godron 21 for holding the pump in position in the opening prior to the deformation of the collar 12. In particular, at least one set of two diametrically opposed gadroons 21 may be provided.

Les godrons 21 sont formés en saillie par rapport au diamètre nominal interne de la paroi latérale 16 de sorte à former un diamètre inscrit qui est inférieur au diamètre de la paroi latérale 17 du col 1. Ainsi, lors de la dépose de la pompe dans l'ouverture, les godrons 21 sont mis en contrainte contre la paroi latérale 17 de sorte à assurer un effort de serrage qui stabilise la pompe dans sa position de fixation. Par conséquent, en jouant sur la géométrie et/ou la taille des godrons 21, on peut ajuster l'effort de serrage conféré en fonction des contraintes s'appliquant sur la pompe positionnée. Sur les figures, les godrons 21 sont sous la forme de barrettes axiales dont la surface libre est de géométrie sensiblement cylindrique.The flutes 21 are formed protruding from the internal nominal diameter of the side wall 16 so as to form an inscribed diameter which is smaller than the diameter of the side wall 17 of the neck 1. Thus, during the removal of the pump in the opening, the gadroons 21 are stressed against the side wall 17 so as to ensure a clamping force which stabilizes the pump in its fixing position. Therefore, by adjusting the geometry and / or the size of the gadroons 21, the conferred clamping force can be adjusted according to the stresses applied to the positioned pump. In the figures, the gadroons 21 are in the form of axial bars whose free surface is of substantially cylindrical geometry.

Dans les modes de réalisation représentés, le flacon comprend en outre une bague 22, notamment en aluminium, qui est coulissante autour du collet 12 entre une position haute (représentée sur les figures 1 et 4) et une position basse. Les griffes 18 sont alors agencées pour être rabattues lors du déplacement en position basse de la bague 22 et pour être maintenues en position rabattue par ladite bague.In the embodiments shown, the bottle further comprises a ring 22, in particular made of aluminum, which is slidable around the collar 12 between a high position (represented on the figures 1 and 4 ) and a low position. The claws 18 are then arranged to be folded during the displacement in the low position of the ring 22 and to be held in the folded position by said ring.

Plus précisément, la paroi latérale 16 de la jupe externe 13 présente un diamètre externe sur lequel les griffes 18 s'étendent en relief. Par exemple, les griffes 18 peuvent être formées par mise en relief de portions de la paroi latérale 16. La bague 22 présente un diamètre interne qui est agencé pour permettre le coulissement de ladite bague autour de ladite jupe en assurant le rabattement desdites griffes ainsi que leur maintien en position rabattue.More specifically, the side wall 16 of the outer skirt 13 has an outer diameter on which the claws 18 extend in relief. For example, the claws 18 may be formed by highlighting portions of the side wall 16. The ring 22 has an internal diameter which is arranged to allow the sliding of said ring around said skirt by ensuring the folding of said claws as well as keeping them in the folded position.

Par ailleurs, les griffes 18 sont séparées angulairement les unes des autres par un pont de matière 23, un godron 21 étant formé sur la paroi interne de chacun desdits ponts de sorte à assurer la stabilisation sans interagir avec la réalisation du rabattement des griffes 18, notamment avec la force nécessaire pour rabattre lesdites griffes.Furthermore, the claws 18 are angularly separated from each other by a material bridge 23, a godron 21 being formed on the inner wall of each of said bridges so as to ensure stabilization without interacting with the achievement of the folding of the claws 18, especially with the force necessary to fold down said claws.

Sur la figure 1, le collet 12 est une pièce rapportée sur la pompe. En relation avec les figures 4 et 5, on décrit ci-dessous un collet 12 comprenant en outre une jupe inférieure 24 formant extenseur de la pompe, le piston 10 de ladite pompe étant monté coulissant dans ledit extenseur entre une position d'obturation (figure 4) et une position d'alimentation des orifices 11 du gicleur 9. Comme représenté, le collet 12 est formé d'une seule pièce, par exemple par moulage d'un matériau plastique, et la jupe inférieure 24 est coaxiale à la jupe supérieure 15 pour recevoir le gicleur 9 au travers d'elles.On the figure 1 , the collar 12 is an insert on the pump. In relation to Figures 4 and 5 , below is described a collar 12 further comprising a lower skirt 24 forming a stent of the pump, the piston 10 of said pump being slidably mounted in said stent between a closed position ( figure 4 ) and a supply position of the orifices 11 of the nozzle 9. As shown, the collar 12 is formed in one piece, for example by molding a plastic material, and the lower skirt 24 is coaxial with the upper skirt 15 to receive the jet 9 through them.

La jupe inférieure 24 comprend une portée annulaire interne 25 contre laquelle la cheminée du piston 10 est guidée en translation et une portée annulaire externe 26 de montage sur le corps 2, un logement annulaire 27 étant formé entre lesdites portées. Le piston 10 comprend une lèvre supérieure 28 qui, en position d'obturation, est disposée dans ledit logement de sorte que ladite portée interne soit plaquée de manière étanche contre le piston 10 afin d'obturer l'alimentation des orifices 11 du gicleur 9.The lower skirt 24 comprises an inner annular bearing surface 25 against which the piston 10 of the piston is guided in translation and an outer annular bearing surface 26 for mounting on the body 2, an annular housing 27 being formed between said bearing surfaces. The piston 10 comprises an upper lip 28 which, in the closed position, is disposed in said housing so that said internal surface is pressed sealingly against the piston 10 in order to close the supply of the orifices 11 of the nozzle 9.
