Description

L'invention concerne un dispositif de fixation d'une pompe de distribution sur un flacon contenant un produit, ainsi qu'un flacon de distribution dans lequel la pompe est fixée par l'intermédiaire d'un tel dispositif.The invention relates to a device for fixing a dispensing pump on a bottle containing a product, and a dispensing bottle in which the pump is fixed by means of such a device.

En particulier, le flacon permet le conditionnement et la distribution d'un produit fluide, notamment d'un liquide ou d'une crème, par exemple un parfum, un produit cosmétique ou un produit pharmaceutique.In particular, the bottle allows the packaging and dispensing of 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'intérieur dudit réservoir. Ainsi, la pompe permet de restituer le produit conditionné dans le 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. Thus, the pump makes it possible to return the packaged product to the tank.

Pour assurer le positionnement et la fixation de la pompe par rapport au corps, on connaît l'utilisation d'un manchon présentant d'une part, des moyens de solidarisation de la pompe et d'autre part, des moyens de fixation du manchon sur le col.To ensure the positioning and fixing of the pump relative to the body, it is known to use a sleeve having, on the one hand, means for securing the pump and, on the other hand, means for fixing the sleeve on the neck.

En outre, ce manchon peut être habillé au moyen d'une frette afin d'améliorer l'esthétique du flacon. En particulier, la frette d'habillage peut être montée par coulissement axial autour d'une portée périphérique du manchon.In addition, this sleeve can be dressed by means of a hoop to improve the aesthetics of the bottle. In particular, the trim band may be mounted by axial sliding around a peripheral bearing of the sleeve.

Dans cette réalisation, se pose le problème de la fiabilité du montage de la frette sur le manchon, notamment relativement à des contraintes appliquées sur la frette dans le sens axial et/ou en rotation. En outre, dans le cas d'une fixation réversible de la pompe sur le flacon, ce problème est d'autant plus critique que le démontage de la pompe est réalisé en actionnant manuellement les moyens de fixation par l'intermédiaire de la frette.In this embodiment, there is the problem of the reliability of the mounting of the hoop on the sleeve, in particular relative to the stresses applied to the hoop in the axial direction and / or in rotation. In addition, in the case of a reversible attachment of the pump on the bottle, this problem is all the more critical that the disassembly of the pump is achieved by manually actuating the fastening means via the hoop.

Pour résoudre ce problème, le document WO-2007/042701 propose un dispositif de fixation comprenant d'une part, un manchon dont la portée périphérique à habiller est lisse et d'autre part, une frette présentant des nervures longilignes formées de plusieurs projections séparées par des creux. Ainsi, en prévoyant que les nervures délimitent un diamètre intérieur qui est inférieur au diamètre extérieur de la portée lisse, lesdites nervures sont incrustées dans le manchon lors du montage.To resolve this problem, the document WO-2007/042701 proposes a fixing device comprising, on the one hand, a sleeve whose range device to dress is smooth and secondly, a band with long ribs formed of several projections separated by recesses. Thus, by providing that the ribs delimit an inside diameter which is smaller than the outside diameter of the smooth surface, said ribs are embedded in the sleeve during assembly.

Toutefois, l'incrustation induit une déformation plastique du manchon qui peut notamment se répercuter sur les moyens de fixation. Ainsi, l'amélioration de l'esthétique au moyen de la frette peut conduire à une diminution de la fiabilité de la fixation de la pompe sur le flacon, notamment relativement à l'étanchéité que cette fixation doit conférer.However, the incrustation induces a plastic deformation of the sleeve which may in particular affect the fastening means. Thus, the improvement of the aesthetics by means of the hoop can lead to a reduction in the reliability of the fixing of the pump on the bottle, in particular with respect to the tightness that this binding must confer.

En outre, le montage de la frette nécessite l'application d'une force suffisante pour réaliser l'incrustation, ce qui peut conduire à une altération de l'esthétique de la frette.In addition, the assembly of the hoop requires the application of sufficient force to achieve the incrustation, which can lead to an alteration of the aesthetics of the hoop.

L'invention vise à perfectionner l'art antérieur en proposant notamment un dispositif de fixation d'une pompe de distribution sur un flacon, ledit dispositif procurant une esthétique avantageuse en limitant les contraintes mécaniques induites par son montage.The invention aims to improve the prior art by providing in particular a device for fixing a dispensing pump on a bottle, said device providing an advantageous aesthetic by limiting the mechanical stresses induced by its mounting.

A cet effet, et selon un premier aspect, l'invention propose un dispositif de fixation d'une pompe de distribution sur un flacon contenant un produit, ledit dispositif comprenant un manchon présentant des moyens de solidarisation de la pompe et des moyens de fixation sur ledit flacon, ledit dispositif comprenant en outre une frette d'habillage destinée à être montée par coulissement axial autour d'une portée périphérique du manchon, la portée périphérique présentant des cannelures axiales et la paroi interne de la frette présentant des nervures axiales qui sont agencées pour être disposées dans lesdites cannelures lors du montage de ladite frette autour de ladite portée.For this purpose, and according to a first aspect, the invention proposes a device for fixing a dispensing pump on a bottle containing a product, said device comprising a sleeve having means for securing the pump and means for fixing on said bottle, said device further comprising a trim band intended to be mounted by axial sliding around a peripheral bearing surface of the sleeve, the peripheral bearing having axial grooves and the inner wall of the band having axial ribs which are arranged to be disposed in said grooves when mounting said hoop around said scope.

Selon un deuxième aspect, l'invention propose un flacon de distribution comprenant un corps définissant un réservoir de conditionnement d'un 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 tel dispositif de fixation, la pompe étant solidarisée au manchon qui est fixé sur le col, la frette étant montée autour de la portée périphérique avec les nervures disposées dans les cannelures.According to a second aspect, the invention proposes a dispensing bottle comprising a body defining a container for packaging a product, a neck surmounting said body by defining an upper opening for said reservoir, and a pump mounted in said upper opening by disposing the supply means of said pump inside said reservoir, said vial further comprising such a fixing device, the pump being secured to the sleeve which is fixed on the neck, the hoop being mounted around the peripheral bearing with the ribs disposed in the grooves.

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 matériau rigide, notamment en verre ou en matériau plastique, pour comprendre un corps 1 définissant un réservoir de conditionnement du produit. Le corps 1 est surmonté par un col 2 formé d'une seule pièce avec ledit corps en définissant une ouverture supérieure pour ledit réservoir.The bottle may be formed of rigid material, in particular glass or plastic material, to include a body 1 defining a product conditioning tank. The body 1 is surmounted by a neck 2 formed of a single piece with said body defining an upper opening for said tank.

Le flacon de distribution comprend également une pompe 3 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 dont la périphérie est montée sans serrage dans l'ouverture.The dispensing bottle also comprises a pump 3 mounted in the upper opening by arranging the supply means for said pump inside the reservoir. The pump shown comprises a body whose periphery is mounted without interference in the opening.

Le corps présente une partie inférieure qui est pourvue d'un orifice d'alimentation, les moyens d'alimentation comprenant un tube plongeur 4 présentant une partie supérieure fixée dans l'orifice et une partie inférieure disposée contre le fond du réservoir.The body has a lower portion which is provided with a feed orifice, the feed means comprising a dip tube 4 having an upper portion fixed in the orifice and a lower portion disposed against the bottom of the tank.

Par ailleurs, la pompe comprend un bouton poussoir 5 équipé d'un orifice de distribution 6. Selon une réalisation connue, le bouton 5 actionne en translation réversible un gicleur sur une course de distribution et un piston est également monté sur le gicleur entre un état d'obturation et un état d'alimentation des orifices dudit gicleur. Toutefois, l'invention n'est pas limitée à un mode de réalisation particulier de la pompe 3.Furthermore, the pump comprises a push button 5 equipped with a dispensing orifice 6. According to a known embodiment, the button 5 reversibly actuates a nozzle on a dispensing stroke and a piston is also mounted on the nozzle between a state shutter and a supply state of the orifices of said nozzle. However, the invention is not limited to a particular embodiment of the pump 3.

Pour assurer le positionnement et la fixation de la pompe 3 par rapport au corps 1, le flacon comprend en outre un dispositif de fixation de ladite pompe sur le col dudit flacon, ledit dispositif comprenant un manchon 7 qui peut être réalisé de façon monobloc en matériau ductile, notamment en matière plastique de type polyoléfine.To ensure the positioning and fixing of the pump 3 relative to the body 1, the bottle further comprises a device for fixing said pump on the neck of said bottle, said device comprising a sleeve 7 which can be made integrally of material ductile, especially plastic polyolefin type.

Le dispositif de fixation comprend également une frette 8 d'habillage du manchon 7, notamment agencée pour masquer la partie de col du flacon, ladite frette pouvant être réalisée en matériau rigide tel qu'en métal, par exemple en aluminium, pour présenter une esthétique avantageuse. Dans les modes de réalisation représentés, la frette 8 présente une géométrie cylindrique de révolution qui s'étend axialement sur une longueur suffisante pour assurer sa fonction de masquage.The fixing device also comprises a hoop 8 for covering the sleeve 7, in particular arranged to mask the neck portion of the bottle, said hoop being made of rigid material such as metal, for example aluminum, to present an aesthetic advantageous. In the embodiments shown, the hoop 8 has a cylindrical geometry of revolution which extends axially over a length sufficient to perform its masking function.

Le manchon 7 présente des moyens de solidarisation de la pompe et des moyens de fixation sur le col 2. Dans les modes de réalisation représentés, le manchon 7 présente une géométrie de révolution formée par une couronne supérieure 9 sous laquelle s'étend une jupe inférieure 10, le diamètre extérieur de la couronne 9 étant inférieur à celui de la jupe 10.The sleeve 7 has means for securing the pump and fastening means on the neck 2. In the embodiments shown, the sleeve 7 has a geometry of revolution formed by an upper ring 9 under which extends a lower skirt 10, the outer diameter of the ring 9 being less than that of the skirt 10.

La couronne 9 forme un logement 11 dans lequel le corps de la pompe 3 est solidarisé au manchon 7 par encliquetage, la fixation de l'ensemble manchon 7 - pompe 3 sur le flacon étant réalisée par vissage. Pour ce faire, l'extérieur du col 2 et l'intérieur de la jupe 10 sont pourvus d'un filet de vis 12 complémentaire. Toutefois, l'invention n'est pas limitée à une telle réalisation pour la fixation du manchon 7 sur le col 2. En particulier, une fixation par encliquetage du manchon 7 sur le col 2 peut être utilisée. De même, l'invention n'est pas limitée à une telle réalisation pour la solidarisation du corps de la pompe 3 dans le manchon 7.The ring 9 forms a housing 11 in which the body of the pump 3 is secured to the sleeve 7 by snapping, the attachment of the sleeve assembly 7 - pump 3 on the bottle being made by screwing. To do this, the outside of the neck 2 and the inside of the skirt 10 are provided with a screw thread 12 complementary. However, the invention is not limited to such an embodiment for fixing the sleeve 7 on the neck 2. In particular, snap fastening of the sleeve 7 on the neck 2 can be used. Similarly, the invention is not limited to such an embodiment for securing the body of the pump 3 in the sleeve 7.

Pour assurer sa fonction d'habillage, la frette 8 est destinée à être montée par coulissement axial autour d'une portée périphérique 13 du manchon 7. Sur les figures, la portée périphérique 13 est annulaire et s'étend sur la périphérie extérieure de la jupe 10. En particulier, la portée périphérique 13 s'étend donc autour du filet de vis 12 qui est formé sur l'intérieur de la jupe 10.To ensure its cladding function, the hoop 8 is intended to be mounted by axial sliding around a peripheral surface 13 of the sleeve 7. In the figures, the peripheral surface 13 is annular and extends over the outer periphery of the In particular, the peripheral surface 13 thus extends around the screw thread 12 which is formed on the inside of the skirt 10.

La portée périphérique 13 présente des cannelures axiales 14 qui sont séparées par des ponts de matière 15. En particulier, les cannelures 14 comprennent un fond en creux qui est délimité sur la portée 13 entre deux bords saillants, les ponts de matière 15 étant délimités par un bord de respectivement deux cannelures 14 adjacentes. Ainsi, les ponts de matière 15 forment un diamètre inscrit qui est supérieur à celui formé par le fond des cannelures 14.The peripheral surface 13 has axial grooves 14 which are separated by material bridges 15. In particular, the grooves 14 comprise a hollow bottom which is delimited on the bearing surface 13 between two projecting edges, the material bridges 15 being delimited by an edge of respectively two flutes 14 adjacent. Thus, the material bridges 15 form an inscribed diameter which is greater than that formed by the bottom of the grooves 14.

Dans les modes de réalisation représentés, les cannelures 14 s'étendent axialement sur tout l'extérieur de la jupe 10 de sorte à déboucher en partie supérieure et en partie inférieure de celle-ci.In the embodiments shown, the grooves 14 extend axially over the entire outside of the skirt 10 so as to open in the upper part and in the lower part thereof.

Par ailleurs, la paroi interne de la frette 8 présente des nervures axiales 16 qui sont agencées pour être disposées dans les cannelures 14 lors du montage de ladite frette autour de la portée 13. Ainsi, les cannelures 14 étant préformées sur la portée 13, le montage ne nécessite pas une incrustation des nervures 16 mais un simple coulissement. Ainsi, notamment dans le cas où la portée 13 s'étend autour des moyens de fixation, on évite une possible déformation de ceux-ci lors du montage.Furthermore, the inner wall of the hoop 8 has axial ribs 16 which are arranged to be arranged in the grooves 14 during assembly of said hoop around the bearing surface 13. Thus, the grooves 14 being preformed on the bearing surface 13, the mounting does not require an incrustation ribs 16 but a simple sliding. Thus, especially in the case where the scope 13 extends around the fastening means, it avoids a possible deformation thereof during assembly.

En outre, l'engagement des nervures 16 dans les cannelures 14 assure la tenue en rotation de la frette 8 relativement au manchon 7, notamment lors du dévissage de la pompe 3. En particulier, pour combiner le coulissement sans déformation et la tenue en rotation, le diamètre inscrit formé par les nervures 16 peut être sensiblement identique à celui formé par les fonds des cannelures 14, ou très légèrement inférieur pour assurer par frottement une retenue axiale de la frette 8 sur le manchon 7.In addition, the engagement of the ribs 16 in the grooves 14 ensures the rotational holding of the hoop 8 relative to the sleeve 7, in particular during the unscrewing of the pump 3. In particular, to combine the sliding without deformation and the rotational resistance , the inscribed diameter formed by the ribs 16 may be substantially identical to that formed by the bottoms of the grooves 14, or slightly lower to ensure by friction an axial retention of the hoop 8 on the sleeve 7.

La frette 8 peut être agencée pour être montée avec serrage axial sur le manchon 7, de sorte à fiabiliser la fixation de la frette 8 sur le manchon 7 relativement aux efforts axiaux. En particulier, la paroi interne de la frette 8 peut être agencée, notamment relativement à son diamètre nominal interne, pour assurer le serrage axial par interaction avec les ponts de matière 15.The hoop 8 can be arranged to be mounted with axial clamping on the sleeve 7, so as to make reliable the fixing of the hoop 8 on the sleeve 7 relative to the axial forces. In particular, the inner wall of the hoop 8 can be arranged, in particular relative to its internal nominal diameter, to ensure axial clamping by interaction with the material bridges 15.

Par ailleurs, dans le cas d'un manchon 7 encliqueté sur le col 2, le serrage axial de la frette 8 peut assurer une fiabilisation dudit encliquetage en retenant radialement les moyens d'encliquetage.Furthermore, in the case of a sleeve 7 snapped onto the neck 2, the axial clamping of the hoop 8 can ensure reliability of said latching radially retaining the latching means.

Selon une autre réalisation, la fixation de la pompe 3 peut être réalisée au moyen d'un manchon 7 comprenant une jupe déformable entre une configuration de montage dans laquelle ladite jupe est positionnable autour du col 2 et une configuration de serrage de ladite jupe autour dudit col pour assurer la fixation. En particulier, la configuration de serrage peut être obtenue par le montage de la frette 8 sur le manchon 7.According to another embodiment, the fixing of the pump 3 can be achieved by means of a sleeve 7 comprising a deformable skirt between a mounting configuration in which said skirt is positionable around the collar 2 and a clamping configuration of said skirt around said neck to secure. In particular, the clamping configuration can be obtained by mounting the hoop 8 on the sleeve 7.

Par ailleurs, la frette 8 ou/ou le manchon 7 peut comprendre des moyens de fixation axiale de ladite frette autour dudit manchon. Sur les figures 2, le manchon 7 comprend un jonc de clipsage 17 destiné à être disposé dans une rainure 18 correspondante de la frette 8.Furthermore, the hoop 8 or / or the sleeve 7 may comprise means for axially fixing said hoop around said sleeve. On the figures 2 , the sleeve 7 comprises a clipping rod 17 intended to be arranged in a corresponding groove 18 of the hoop 8.

Plus précisément, le jonc 17 est formé sur une deuxième jupe 19 du manchon 7 qui entoure la portée périphérique 13. La frette 8 comprend également deux jupes, une jupe intérieure 8a portant les nervures 16 et une jupe extérieure 8b portant la rainure 18.More specifically, the ring 17 is formed on a second skirt 19 of the sleeve 7 which surrounds the peripheral surface 13. The band 8 also comprises two skirts, an inner skirt 8a carrying the ribs 16 and an outer skirt 8b carrying the groove 18.

En relation avec les figures 1 à 3, les nervures 16 sont longilignes et présentent une section rectangulaire, le nombre desdites nervures étant complémentaire de celui des cannelures 14. En outre, comme on peut le voir notamment sur l'agrandissement de la figure 1b, la géométrie des nervures 16 est complémentaire de celle des cannelures 14, avec un léger jeu latéral de part et d'autre pour faciliter le coulissement. Sur l'agrandissement de la figure 2b, la largeur des cannelures 14 est supérieure à celle des nervures 16.In relation to Figures 1 to 3 , the ribs 16 are elongate and have a rectangular section, the number of said ribs being complementary to that of the grooves 14. In addition, as can be seen in particular on the enlargement of the figure 1b , the geometry of the ribs 16 is complementary to that of the grooves 14, with a slight side play on both sides to facilitate sliding. On the enlargement of the figure 2b , the width of the grooves 14 is greater than that of the ribs 16.

Par ailleurs, les figures 3 à 5 montrent des cannelures 14 qui présentent un chanfrein supérieur 20 agencé pour faciliter l'entrée des nervures 16 dans lesdites cannelures lors du montage. En outre, toujours pour faciliter le montage, la paroi interne de la frette 8 présente une portion inférieure 21 sur laquelle les nervures 16 ne s'étendent pas.Moreover, Figures 3 to 5 show grooves 14 which have an upper bevel 20 arranged to facilitate the entry of the ribs 16 in said grooves during assembly. In addition, still to facilitate assembly, the inner wall of the hoop 8 has a lower portion 21 on which the ribs 16 do not extend.

Sur les figures 4 et 5, les cannelures 14 ainsi que les nervures 16 sont à profil convergent dans le sens de coulissement. Ainsi, en agrandissant le chanfrein d'entrée 20, on facilite l'orientation angulaire de la frette 8 par rapport au manchon 7 en vue du montage. Sur la figure 5, cet agrandissement est maximisé en prévoyant que les cannelures 14 et les ponts de matière 15 forment une succession alternée de triangles disposés tête-bêche.On the Figures 4 and 5 , the grooves 14 and the ribs 16 are convergent profile in the direction of sliding. Thus, by enlarging the input chamfer 20, it facilitates the angular orientation of the hoop 8 relative to the sleeve 7 for mounting. On the figure 5 , this enlargement is maximized by providing that the grooves 14 and material bridges 15 form an alternating succession of triangles arranged head to tail.
