Definitions
- the present invention relates to an assembly adapted to be attached to a bottle of vertical axis to form a dispensing head of a product, including a cosmetic composition, contained in the bottle.
- the dispensing head is formed of another material, in particular plastic. This dispensing head can form a simple decorative shell, or carry a dispensing pump for sampling the product contained in the bottle.
- the dispensing head may also include a movable control member relative to a portion attached to the bottle, the control member being adapted to actuate a pump previously held by crimping around the neck of the bottle.
- a clean ring For mounting the dispensing head on the bottle, it is known to interpose a clean ring to be engaged around the neck between the fixed body of the dispensing head, also called fixed insert, and the collar itself.
- the ring has retaining profiles on the collar adapted to cooperate with a shoulder delimited under a collar provided at the end of the neck.
- the fixed insert defines a receiving housing of the ring in which the ring is confined so that the retaining profiles of the ring on the neck are immobilized, making their release impossible.
- the retention of the fixed insert on the ring is provided by friction. This is particularly the case in the arrangements described in the documents EP 653 359 , FR 2,897,851 and FR 2,856,994 .
- the position of the insert on the bottle is predetermined so that unsightly play is established between the dispensing head and the bottle, because of significant manufacturing tolerances of the bottle which, being made of glass, can not be done with very precise dimensions.
- the invention aims to provide a dispensing head that can be reliably mounted on a bottle and to eliminate unsightly play between the dispensing head and the bottle.
- the subject of the invention is an assembly for a bottle of the aforementioned type, characterized in that the surfaces facing the ring and the housing comprise complementary hooking profiles protruding and recessed for an elastic engagement of the complementary profiles, at least two successive profiles on the ring or the housing for hooking the ring in at least two positions axially offset relative to the housing.
- This set may further include any of the features defined above.

- the invention also relates to a packaging comprising a bottle and an assembly as defined above reported on the bottle.
- the packaging 10 illustrated on the Figure 1 is for example a packaging for a perfume or any other cosmetic product such as a cream or a lotion.
- the dispensing head allows the control of a dispensing member 18 formed for example of a pump, this member being mounted to remains on the bottle 12.
- the bottle may also be made of plastic, for example by injection blow molding.
- the bottle 12 has a generally vertical axis XX. It has, at its upper end, a shoulder 20 extended by a neck 22 disposed along the axis XX.
- the collar has an outer end collar 24 delimiting, opposite the shoulder 20, a shoulder 26 for mounting the dispensing head 14.
- the bottle is made by a glass molding and has fairly large manufacturing tolerances, particularly with regard to the axial side between the shoulder 20 and the end of the collar 22.
- the pump 18 extends axially inside the neck and has a lower sampling end 28 and an upper delivery end 30 protruding out of the neck.
- the pump 18 is retained in the neck by a metal band 32 crimped around the neck with a necking conforming to the shape of the shoulder 26.
- the dispensing head 14 visible in perspective on the Figures 2 and 3 consists of several assembled elements shown separately on the Figures 4 to 8 . It thus comprises an external covering 40 inside which are received mobile a pushbutton 42 and a pusher 44 adapted to cooperate with the pump 18, and a fixed insert 46 mounted on the neck of the bottle via a retaining ring 48.
- the head externally has a generally parallelepiped shape delimited by the external covering 40.
- This covering delimits a peripheral dress 50 formed by four panels two by two perpendicularly extending each flanks of the bottle 12 flush when the head is mounted on the bottle as illustrated on the Figure 1 .
- the shoulder 20 comprises a sidewalk forming a rectangular periphery relief of compatible shape with complementary reliefs 51, constituted here by fins projecting axially from the fixed insert 46 which thus allow indexing of the position of the application head and its outer covering 40 relative to the edges of the bottle.
- the invention applies regardless of the shape or section of the dispensing head and the bottle.
- the external covering 40 visible alone on the Figure 4 is open on its upper face for access to the pushbutton 42 through an opening 52. It laterally has an opening 54 for passage of the product to be dispensed.
- the booster 42 visible alone on the Figure 5 has a generally rectangular shape delimiting an upper bearing surface 56 accessible through the opening 52 and adapted to receive a finger support of the user.
- the pusher 44 visible alone on the Figure 6 is interposed between the booster 42 and the delivery end 30 of the pump.
- the pusher defines a conduit 60 for conveying the product to be dispensed from the delivery outlet 30 to a release nozzle 62 engaged through the opening 54.
- the insert 46 visible only on the Figure 7 has a generally parallelepipedic base 64 having at its four corners pillars 66 for positioning the external covering 40 covering it.
- the periphery of the base 64 defines a hooking profile for snap-fitting protrusions 68 provided on the external covering 40 and visible on the projections.
- Figures 1 and 3 The projections allow the axial retention of the outer covering 40 on the fixed insert 46.
- the base 64 is traversed by guide passages 70 adapted to cooperate with corresponding tabs 72 projecting from the surface 56 of the pushbutton , for guiding in axial translation thereof.
- Elastic blades 74 protrude from the base 64 and are adapted to push the pushbutton 42 resting on it away from the pump 18.
- the base 64 has a stirrup 76 adapted to receive a retaining leg 78 of the visible booster on the Figure 1 , the pusher 44 being fixed on the pump 18.
- the base 64 is traversed right through by a housing 80 for receiving the ring 48.
- This passage is generally of circular section and is delimited by a cylindrical skirt 82 visible on the Figures 1 , 3 and 7 .
- the ring 48 shown alone on the Figure 8 has a shape of revolution of axis XX and externally has a shape substantially complementary to that of the receiving housing 80.
- the ring 48 and has a base ring 90 from which extend on the same side a succession of fins 92 forming resiliently deformable tabs, distributed around the periphery of the ring 90.
- Each fin extends along a generatrix of the cylinder described by the ring. These fins are separated by notches 94.
- the fins 92 are, when the ring 48 is insulated, slightly flared so as to facilitate the assembly and in particular the pre-positioning of the dispensing head on the neck.
- the fins may form an angle between 1 ° and 15 ° with the axis XX.
- the fins 92 are each provided at their free end on the inner surface of a lug 96 to bear back of the shoulder 26 of the neck.
- An inner bearing flange 98 is formed on the inner surface of the ring 48 at a distance from the lugs 96 corresponding to the distance between the shoulder 26 and the upper surface of the pump held on the neck by the strapping 32.
- the outer surface of the ring 48 is substantially smooth. It has a peripheral groove 100 formed in the ring 90 and opening on its outer surface. This groove 100 is adapted to initially receive, before mounting the dispensing head on the bottle, a retaining inner ring 102 visible on the Figure 9 formed at the lower end of the skirt 82 of the insert. This ring protruding from the inner surface of the receiving housing 80 ensures the initial axial retention of the ring 48 relative to the fixed insert 46 before mounting on the bottle.
- Each fin 92 has on its generally smooth external surface, as illustrated on a larger scale on the Figure 10 , multiple striations 108 extending horizontally, that is to say perpendicularly to the vertical axis XX of the bottle 12 and the neck 22. These grooves 108 are delimited by successive ribs 110 projecting from the generally smooth surface of the fins 92 extending parallel to each other and having, in section in longitudinal section, a generally triangular shape. This section forms ramps facilitating the crossing of the ribs by complementary hooking profiles which will be described later. The streaks of the different fins are aligned and form crowns of discontinuous and parallel streaks.
- the surface delimiting the receiving housing of the ring of the fixed insert comprises complementary attachment profiles constituted by a succession of peripheral ribs 120 visible on the Figure 11 . These ribs protrude from the generally smooth surface of the housing 80. They extend horizontally, that is to say perpendicularly to the axis of the bottle.
- the not considered axially separating the streaks 108 and the pitch separating the ribs 120 are integer multiples of each other.
- the number of grooves is equal to 7. It is preferably between 1 and 30.
- the number of ribs is equal to at least 1, the number of one of the grooves or ribs being at least two.
- the ribs 120 are 3 in number and the pitch separating them is twice that separating the streaks 108.
- the ridges 108 are formed on the elastic fins 92 and the ribs on the housing 80.
- ribs are provided on the fins and ridges are formed on the inner surface of the housing.
- any type of additional hooking profile protruding and recessed can be provided on the ring and on the housing defined by the insert, as long as at least two successive profiles for hooking the ring in at least two axially offset positions are provided on one of the ring and the fixed insert.
- the assembly forming the dispensing head 14 is pre-assembled as illustrated on the Figures 3 and 9 .
- the fins of the ring 48 project outside the housing 80 of the insert.
- the ring is retained in this position by the complementary profiles 100 and 102.
- the dispensing head is axially attached to the bottle previously equipped with the pump 18 retained by the strapping 32.
- the fins deform radially outwardly when the ring is engaged around the neck.
- the lugs 96 engage under the shoulder 26, thus ensuring retention of the ring on the neck, the latter enclosing the collar 24.
- the profiles 100 and 102 are dimensioned to provide a retaining force greater than the force required for the deformation of the fins when crossing the flange 24.
- the axial support on the dispensing head is continued, causing the disengagement of the retaining profiles 100 and 102 so that the ring is gradually capped by the skirt 82.
- the ring is thus received in the housing 80.
- the skirt 82 belting the fins forbid their deformation. The skirt guarantees the locking of the assembly on the shoulder 26.
- the support on the dispensing head is continued until the base of the outer covering 40 bears on the shoulder 20, this support being without play as shown in FIG. Figure 1 and the side walls of the head extending the flanks of the vial 12.
- At least one attachment profile provided on the insert cooperates with a complementary fastening profile provided on the ring.
- This elastic interlocking of the ribs and ridges is obtained either by the elasticity of the fins 92, or by the elasticity proper to the ribs and / or ridges, or even by the combination of the two.
- the ring according to the invention there are manufacturing tolerances of the bottles, and mounting tolerances of the dispensing member on the bottle, which are wider, while preserving the aesthetics because the control member is always brought into abutment against a shoulder of the bottle, and thus defines a continuous set without play between the control member and the bottle.
- an additional piece absorbing the vertical tolerances of the neck has been provided to remove the patches or tensions in this axis.
- This extra piece is a ring that features streaks horizontal fine retainers that make the assembly achieved unmountable in its ideal position.
- These thin horizontal striations cooperate with at least one complementary striation provided on a skirt of the insert integral with the external covering, in which is retained the assembly formed by the push-button and the pusher, which are intended to be placed in fluidic engagement with a pump body in the examples and drawings provided.
- the ring is delivered pre-assembled in the insert by means of a retaining catch.
- the assembly continued its race to the stop on the glass shoulder, the insert sliding around the ring, forcing it around the cup set with the pump, streaks preventing all of ride up.
- the stresses are contained at the level of the deformable ring. There are no vertical stresses exerted on the galvanized ABS cladding, the height tolerance of the neck being absorbed by the race between ring and insert.

Description
La présente invention concerne un ensemble propre à être rapporté sur un flacon d'axe vertical pour former une tête de distribution d'un produit, notamment une composition cosmétique, contenu dans le flacon.The present invention relates to an assembly adapted to be attached to a bottle of vertical axis to form a dispensing head of a product, including a cosmetic composition, contained in the bottle.
Elle concerne notamment un ensemble pour un flacon comportant un col d'axe vertical présentant un épaulement comportant :
- une bague propre à être engagée autour du col et comportant des profils de retenue sur le col propres à coopérer avec l'épaulement,
- un insert fixe propre à être rapporté sur le flacon et délimitant un logement de réception de la bague.
- a clean ring to be engaged around the neck and having retaining profiles on the collar adapted to cooperate with the shoulder,
- a fixed insert adapted to be attached to the bottle and defining a receiving housing of the ring.
Il est connu de conditionner des parfums, ou d'autres compositions cosmétiques dans des flacons de verre présentant à leur extrémité supérieure un col pourvu d'une collerette extérieure sur laquelle est fixée la tête de distribution. La tête de distribution est formée dans un autre matériau, notamment en matière plastique. Cette tête de distribution peut former une simple virole décorative, ou porter une pompe de distribution pour le prélèvement du produit contenu dans le flacon. La tête de distribution peut également comporter un organe de commande mobile par rapport à une partie fixée sur le flacon, l'organe de commande étant propre à actionner une pompe préalablement retenue par sertissage autour du col du flacon.It is known to condition perfumes, or other cosmetic compositions in glass bottles having at their upper end a neck provided with an outer collar on which is fixed the dispensing head. The dispensing head is formed of another material, in particular plastic. This dispensing head can form a simple decorative shell, or carry a dispensing pump for sampling the product contained in the bottle. The dispensing head may also include a movable control member relative to a portion attached to the bottle, the control member being adapted to actuate a pump previously held by crimping around the neck of the bottle.
Pour le montage de la tête de distribution sur le flacon, il est connu d'interposer une bague propre à être engagée autour du col entre le corps fixe de la tête de distribution, encore appelé insert fixe, et le col proprement dit. La bague comporte des profils de retenue sur le col propres à coopérer avec un épaulement délimité sous une collerette prévue à l'extrémité du col. L'insert fixe délimite un logement de réception de la bague dans lequel la bague est confinée de sorte que les profils de retenue de la bague sur le col sont immobilisés, rendant leur libération impossible.For mounting the dispensing head on the bottle, it is known to interpose a clean ring to be engaged around the neck between the fixed body of the dispensing head, also called fixed insert, and the collar itself. The ring has retaining profiles on the collar adapted to cooperate with a shoulder delimited under a collar provided at the end of the neck. The fixed insert defines a receiving housing of the ring in which the ring is confined so that the retaining profiles of the ring on the neck are immobilized, making their release impossible.
La retenue de l'insert fixe sur la bague est assurée par frottement. Tel est le cas notamment dans les agencements décrits dans les documents
Dans d'autres ensembles, décrits notamment dans les documents
Les agencements décrits dans ce document sont insatisfaisants en ce que lorsque la retenue de l'insert sur la bague est assurée par frottement, il est nécessaire que la bague et l'insert aient des tolérances de fabrication très précises et la retenue est peu fiable.The arrangements described in this document are unsatisfactory in that when the retention of the insert on the ring is provided by friction, it is necessary that the ring and the insert have very precise manufacturing tolerances and the retention is unreliable.
Lorsque la retenue est assurée par un enclenchement élastique, la position de l'insert sur le flacon est prédéfinie de sorte que des jeux inesthétiques s'établissent entre la tête de distribution et le flacon, du fait de tolérances de fabrication importantes du flacon qui, étant réalisé en verre, ne peut être fait avec des cotes très précises.When the restraint is provided by an elastic engagement, the position of the insert on the bottle is predetermined so that unsightly play is established between the dispensing head and the bottle, because of significant manufacturing tolerances of the bottle which, being made of glass, can not be done with very precise dimensions.
L'invention a pour but de proposer une tête de distribution pouvant être montée de façon fiable sur un flacon et permettant de supprimer les jeux inesthétiques entre la tête de distribution et le flacon.The invention aims to provide a dispensing head that can be reliably mounted on a bottle and to eliminate unsightly play between the dispensing head and the bottle.
A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un ensemble pour un flacon du type précité, caractérisé en ce que les surfaces en regard de la bague et du logement comportent des profils d'accrochage complémentaires en saillie et en creux pour un enclenchement élastique des profils complémentaires, au moins deux profils successifs sur la bague ou le logement permettant un accrochage de la bague dans au moins deux positions décalées axialement par rapport au logement.For this purpose, the subject of the invention is an assembly for a bottle of the aforementioned type, characterized in that the surfaces facing the ring and the housing comprise complementary hooking profiles protruding and recessed for an elastic engagement of the complementary profiles, at least two successive profiles on the ring or the housing for hooking the ring in at least two positions axially offset relative to the housing.

- at least one of the facing surfaces of the ring and the housing comprises multiple horizontal streaks for cooperatively assembling the facing surfaces by absorbing the manufacturing tolerances of the bottle by positioning the streaks as a function of the axial clearances by virtue of the race between the ring and the fixed insert;
- it comprises a movable control member relative to the insert and adapted to cooperate with a dispensing member fitted to the bottle;
- before mounting on the bottle, the ring is engaged in the housing of the insert and has a retaining profile in position of the ring in the insert;

- the steps between the striations of the ring and the insert are integer multiples of each other;
- the ridges are delimited between successive ribs projecting from a generally smooth reference surface; and
- the grooves are delimited by inclined flanks ramp in the insertion direction of the ring in the insert.

En variante, les ailettes 92 sont, lorsque la bague 48 est isolée, légèrement évasées de manière à faciliter le montage et en particulier le pré-positionnement de la tête de distribution sur le col. Les ailettes peuvent former un angle compris entre 1 ° et 15 ° avec l'axe X-X.Alternatively, the
Les ailettes 92 sont chacune pourvues à leur extrémité libre sur la surface intérieure d'un ergot 96 propre à prendre appui en arrière de l'épaulement 26 du col. Une collerette intérieure d'appui 98 est ménagée sur la surface intérieure de la bague 48 à une distance des ergots 96 correspondant à l'écart entre l'épaulement 26 et la surface supérieure de la pompe retenue sur le col par le cerclage 32.The
La surface extérieure de la bague 48 est essentiellement lisse. Elle présente une rainure périphérique 100 ménagée dans la couronne 90 et débouchant sur sa surface extérieure. Cette rainure 100 est propre à recevoir initialement, avant montage de la tête de distribution sur le flacon, un jonc intérieur de retenue 102 visible sur la
Chaque ailette 92 présente sur sa surface externe généralement lisse, comme illustré à plus grande échelle sur la
La surface délimitant le logement de réception de la bague de l'insert fixe comporte des profils d'accrochage complémentaires constitués par une succession de nervures périphériques 120 visibles sur la
Le pas considéré axialement séparant les stries 108 et le pas séparant les nervures 120 sont des multiples entiers les uns des autres.The not considered axially separating the
Selon l'invention, au moins deux nervures ou au moins deux stries successives horizontales sont disposées sur le logement de réception de la bague ou sur la surface extérieure de la bague. Dans l'exemple considéré, le nombre de stries est égal à 7. Celui-ci est de préférence compris entre 1 et 30. Le nombre de nervures est égal au moins à 1, le nombre de l'une des stries ou des nervures étant au moins égal à deux. Les nervures 120 sont au nombre de 3 et le pas les séparant est le double de celui séparant les stries 108.According to the invention, at least two ribs or at least two successive horizontal streaks are arranged on the receiving housing of the ring or on the outer surface of the ring. In the example under consideration, the number of grooves is equal to 7. It is preferably between 1 and 30. The number of ribs is equal to at least 1, the number of one of the grooves or ribs being at least two. The
Dans l'exemple considéré, les stries 108 sont ménagées sur les ailettes élastiques 92 et les nervures sur le logement 80. En variante, des nervures sont prévues sur les ailettes et des stries sont ménagées sur la surface intérieure du logement.In the example, the
Plus généralement, tout type de profil d'accrochage complémentaire en saillie et en creux peut être ménagé sur la bague et sur le logement délimité par l'insert, pour peu que au moins deux profils successifs permettant un accrochage de la bague dans au moins deux positions décalées axialement soient ménagés sur l'un de la bague et de l'insert fixe.More generally, any type of additional hooking profile protruding and recessed can be provided on the ring and on the housing defined by the insert, as long as at least two successive profiles for hooking the ring in at least two axially offset positions are provided on one of the ring and the fixed insert.
Initialement, avant montage sur le flacon 12, l'ensemble formant la tête de distribution 14 est préassemblé comme illustré sur les
Ainsi préassemblée, la tête de distribution est rapportée axialement sur le flacon préalablement équipé de la pompe 18 retenue par le cerclage 32. Les ailettes se déforment radialement vers l'extérieur lorsque la bague est engagée autour du col. Lorsque la collerette 98 vient en appui sur la surface supérieure du col, et plus précisément à la surface supérieure du cerclage retenant la pompe sur le col, les ergots 96 s'engagent sous l'épaulement 26, assurant ainsi une retenue de la bague sur le col, celle-ci enserrant la collerette 24.Thus preassembled, the dispensing head is axially attached to the bottle previously equipped with the
Afin d'assurer une retenue de la bague par rapport à l'insert lors de la mise en place de la bague sur le col, les profils 100 et 102 sont dimensionnés pour procurer une force de retenue supérieure à la force nécessaire pour la déformation des ailettes lors du franchissement de la collerette 24.In order to ensure a retention of the ring relative to the insert during the establishment of the ring on the neck, the
L'appui axial sur la tête de distribution est poursuivi, provoquant le désengagement des profils de retenue 100 et 102 de sorte que la bague se trouve progressivement coiffée par la jupe 82. La bague est ainsi reçue dans le logement 80. La jupe 82 ceinturant les ailettes interdit leur déformation. La jupe garantit le verrouillage du montage sur l'épaulement 26.The axial support on the dispensing head is continued, causing the disengagement of the retaining
L'appui sur la tête de distribution est poursuivi jusqu'à ce que la base de l'habillage externe 40 vienne en appui sur l'épaule 20, cet appui étant sans jeu comme illustré sur la
Dans cette position, les saillies 120 sont reçues dans des stries définies sur les ailettes.In this position, the
Quelle que soit la course de déplacement de l'insert fixe délimitant le logement 80 par rapport à la bague immobilisée autour du col, au moins un profil d'accrochage prévu sur l'insert coopère avec un profil d'accrochage complémentaire prévu sur la bague, puisque plusieurs profils d'accrochage successifs sont disposés suivant l'axe X-X, permettant ainsi de compenser les éventuels jeux et les écarts dans les cotes entre les éléments de la tête et du flacon résultant essentiellement du fait que le flacon est réalisé en verre et donc avec des cotes de fabrication peu serrées.Whatever the displacement travel of the fixed insert delimiting the
On conçoit ainsi que l'on obtient une liaison sûre de la tête, la bague étant retenue par enclenchement élastique des nervures dans les stries, tout en permettant un ajustement sans jeu entre la tête de distribution et le flacon.It is thus conceived that a secure connection of the head is obtained, the ring being retained by elastic engagement of the ribs in the ridges, while allowing a clearance-free adjustment between the dispensing head and the bottle.
Cet enclenchement élastique des nervures et des stries est obtenu soit par l'élasticité des ailettes 92, soit par l'élasticité propre aux nervures et/ou aux stries, soit encore par la combinaison des deux.This elastic interlocking of the ribs and ridges is obtained either by the elasticity of the
Grâce à la bague selon l'invention, on a des tolérances de fabrication des flacons, et des tolérances de montage de l'organe de distribution sur le flacon, qui sont plus larges, tout en préservant l'esthétique car l'organe de commande est toujours amené en butée contre une épaule du flacon, et vient ainsi définir un ensemble continu sans jeu entre l'organe de commande et le flacon.Thanks to the ring according to the invention, there are manufacturing tolerances of the bottles, and mounting tolerances of the dispensing member on the bottle, which are wider, while preserving the aesthetics because the control member is always brought into abutment against a shoulder of the bottle, and thus defines a continuous set without play between the control member and the bottle.
Grâce à l'invention, une pièce supplémentaire absorbant les tolérances verticales du col a été prévue pour supprimer les bagottements ou les tensions dans cet axe. Cette pièce supplémentaire est une bague qui comporte des stries fines horizontales de retenue qui rendent l'assemblage réalisé indémontable dans sa position idéale.Thanks to the invention, an additional piece absorbing the vertical tolerances of the neck has been provided to remove the patches or tensions in this axis. This extra piece is a ring that features streaks horizontal fine retainers that make the assembly achieved unmountable in its ideal position.
Ces stries fines horizontales coopèrent avec au moins une strie complémentaire prévue sur une jupe de l'insert solidaire de l'habillage externe, dans lequel est retenu l'ensemble formé par le surpoussoir et le poussoir, qui sont destinés à être mis en engagement fluidique avec un corps de pompe dans les exemples et dessins fournis.These thin horizontal striations cooperate with at least one complementary striation provided on a skirt of the insert integral with the external covering, in which is retained the assembly formed by the push-button and the pusher, which are intended to be placed in fluidic engagement with a pump body in the examples and drawings provided.
La bague est livrée pré-montée dans l'insert au moyen d'un cran de retenue.The ring is delivered pre-assembled in the insert by means of a retaining catch.
Après montage, l'ensemble a continué sa course jusqu'en butée sur l'épaule de verre, l'insert glissant autour de la bague, contraignant celle-ci autour de la coupelle sertie de la pompe, des stries empêchant l'ensemble de remonter. Les contraintes sont contenues au niveau de la bague déformable. Il n'y a pas de contraintes verticales exercées sur l'habillage en ABS galvanisé, la tolérance de hauteur du col étant absorbée par la course entre bague et insert.After mounting, the assembly continued its race to the stop on the glass shoulder, the insert sliding around the ring, forcing it around the cup set with the pump, streaks preventing all of ride up. The stresses are contained at the level of the deformable ring. There are no vertical stresses exerted on the galvanized ABS cladding, the height tolerance of the neck being absorbed by the race between ring and insert.
