Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de stockage et de distribution d'un produit liquide ou pâteux.The present invention relates to a device for storing and dispensing a liquid or pasty product.

Dans le domaine technique du conditionnement d'un produit liquide ou pâteux, l'un des problèmes techniques est celui du remplissage d'un emballage après son ouverture ou son utilisation.In the technical field of packaging a liquid or pasty product, one of the technical problems is that of filling a package after it has been opened or used.

Dans les domaines notamment cosmétique ou pharmaceutique, de nombreux produits sont conditionnés en emballage de type flacon; l'emballage en lui-même fait l'objet d'un important effort de création qui, indépendamment de son contenu, lui confère une importante valeur par son esthétique et par les matériaux qui entrent dans sa fabrication.In the fields, in particular cosmetics or pharmaceuticals, many products are packaged in bottle-type packaging; the packaging itself is the subject of a major creative effort that, regardless of its content, gives it an important value by its aesthetics and by the materials that go into its manufacture.

Pour une entreprise notamment du secteur cosmétique ou pharmaceutique, il n'est donc pas souhaitable qu'un utilisateur qui a fait l'acquisition d'un flacon, par exemple de parfum, puisse après utilisation réutiliser ledit flacon pour le remplir avec un parfum de moins grand prix.For a company especially in the cosmetics or pharmaceutical sector, it is therefore not desirable that a user who has purchased a bottle, for example perfume, may after use reuse said bottle to fill it with a perfume of less great price.

La réutilisation d'un flacon constitue un manque à gagner, notamment pour l'industrie cosmétique.The reuse of a bottle is a shortfall, especially for the cosmetics industry.

Dans un autre domaine d'activité qui est plus particulièrement celui des liquides alimentaires, il importe bien entendu que le flacon préserve le liquide alimentaire avant son utilisation.In another field of activity which is more particularly that of liquid food, it is important that the bottle preserves the food liquid before use.

Il importe également que le liquide alimentaire en question soit préservé du risque de contamination au cours de son utilisation.It is also important that the food liquid in question is preserved from the risk of contamination during its use.

On a pu déplorer que, dans des lieux publics, des individus mal intentionnés déposent des substances, éventuellement toxiques, dans des emballages contenant des liquides alimentaires ouverts et laissés hors de l'attention de l'utilisateur.It has been deplored that, in public places, ill-intentioned individuals deposit substances, possibly toxic, in packages containing open food liquids and left out of the user's attention.

Dans ce contexte technique et pour de multiples motifs, l'invention se propose de fournir un dispositif de stockage et de distribution visant à prévenir l'introduction de produit postérieurement à sa première ouverture.In this technical context and for multiple reasons, the invention proposes to provide a storage and distribution device to prevent the introduction of product after its first opening.

Des dispositifs de stockage et de distribution d'un produit liquide ou pâteux sont décrits dans les documents FR 2 377 946 , FR 2 873 999 , FR 2 880 001 et EP 0 854 391 .Storage and dispensing devices for a liquid or pasty product are described in the documents FR 2,377,946 , FR 2,873,999 , FR 2 880 001 and EP 0 854 391 .

Dans sa définition générale, l'invention concerne un dispositif de stockage et de distribution d'un produit liquide ou pâteux comprenant :

  • un flacon de stockage de produit liquide ou pâteux présentant une ouverture et possédant un fond à son extrémité distale et un goulot à son extrémité proximale,
  • un tube plongeur engagé dans le flacon de stockage présentant une extrémité distale venant à proximité du fond du flacon de stockage et une extrémité proximale présentant des moyens de fixation irréversibles sur l'ouverture du flacon de stockage.
In its general definition, the invention relates to a device for storing and dispensing a liquid or pasty product comprising:

  • a plunger tube engaged in the storage vial having a distal end proximate the bottom of the storage vial and a proximal end having irreversible attachment means on the opening of the storage vial.

Avantageusement, le tube plongeur est fixé dans le goulot du flacon de stockage.Advantageously, the dip tube is fixed in the neck of the storage bottle.

Il peut être prévu que le flacon comprenne un corps sur lequel est fixé par des moyens de fixation irréversible un col, ledit col présentant des moyens de réception du tube plongeur assurant le maintien du tube dans le flacon.It can be provided that the bottle comprises a body on which is fixed by irreversible fastening means a neck, said neck having means for receiving the plunger tube ensuring the maintenance of the tube in the bottle.

Selon plusieurs caractéristiques possibles :

  • les moyens de fixation irréversibles du col sur le corps comprennent un système d'emboiture mécanique ;
  • le corps présente à son extrémité proximale un épaulement et une nervure annulaire sur lesquels viennent s'engager respectivement une rainure annulaire et un sillon circulaire du col.
According to several possible characteristics:
  • the irreversible fastening means of the neck on the body comprise a mechanical locking system;
  • the body has at its proximal end a shoulder and an annular rib on which engage respectively an annular groove and a circular groove of the neck.

Selon une première forme de réalisation, les moyens de fixation du tube plongeur ménagés sur le flacon comprennent un retour radial formant un épaulement contre lequel vient en butée une collerette s'étendant radialement depuis le tube plongeur. Cette collerette peut présenter une paroi radiale et une paroi cylindrique.According to a first embodiment, the means for fixing the dip tube formed on the bottle comprise a radial return forming a shoulder against which abuts a flange extending radially from the dip tube. This collar may have a radial wall and a cylindrical wall.

Selon une deuxième forme de réalisation, le flacon présente un goulot dans lequel s'engage une tête d'un tube plongeur, ladite tête présentant des moyens d'engagement irréversible dans le goulot et des moyens d'interfaçage avec une pompe permettant l'insertion de la tête dans le goulot lors la mise en place de la pompe sur le goulot.According to a second embodiment, the bottle has a neck in which a head of a dip tube engages, said head having irreversible engagement means in the neck and means for interfacing with a pump allowing the insertion the head in the neck when placing the pump on the neck.

Selon plusieurs caractéristiques possibles de cette deuxième forme de réalisation :

  • la tête présente une surface en gradin concave conçue pour recevoir une surface en gradin convexe correspondante ménagée sur la pompe.
  • les moyens d'engagement irréversible de la tête du tube plongeur dans le goulot sont réalisés par un ajustement serré entre le diamètre de la tête du tube plongeur et le diamètre du goulot.
  • les moyens d'engagement irréversible de la tête du tube plongeur dans le goulot sont constitués par des éléments mécaniques.
According to several possible characteristics of this second embodiment:
  • the head has a concave step surface adapted to receive a corresponding convex step surface on the pump.
  • the irreversible engagement means of the head of the dip tube in the neck are made by a tight fit between the diameter of the head of the dip tube and the diameter of the neck.
  • irreversible engagement means of the head of the plunger tube in the neck are constituted by mechanical elements.

Avantageusement, le tube plongeur monté à l'intérieur du flacon est solidaire du flacon et monté de façon étanche contre la face intérieure dudit flacon.Advantageously, the dip tube mounted inside the bottle is secured to the bottle and sealingly mounted against the inner face of said bottle.

Pour sa bonne compréhension, l'invention est décrite en référence au dessin ci annexé représentant, à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, deux formes de réalisation de l'invention.

  • Figures 1 à 3 montrent une première forme de réalisation d'un dispositif selon l'invention dans ses différentes phases d'utilisation,
  • Figures4 à 6 montrent respectivement trois éléments qui constituent la forme de réalisation de l'invention représentée aux figures 1 à 3,
  • Figures 7 et 8 montrent une deuxième forme de réalisation d'un dispositif selon l'invention dans ses différentes phases d'utilisation
  • Figures 9 à 11 montrent respectivement trois éléments qui constituent la forme de réalisation de l'invention représentée aux figures 7 et 8.
For a good understanding, the invention is described with reference to the attached drawing showing, by way of non-limiting examples, two embodiments of the invention.
  • Figures 1 to 3 show a first embodiment of a device according to the invention in its different phases of use,
  • Figures4 to 6 show respectively three elements which constitute the embodiment of the invention shown in Figures 1 to 3 ,
  • Figures 7 and 8 show a second embodiment of a device according to the invention in its different phases of use
  • Figures 9 to 11 show respectively three elements which constitute the embodiment of the invention shown in figures 7 and 8 .

Dans une première forme de réalisation, le dispositif 1 de stockage et de distribution d'un produit liquide ou pâteux selon l'invention comprend essentiellement trois éléments. Par convention, il est précisé que le terme « distal » désigne la partie de fond du dispositif sur lequel le dispositif repose et le terme « proximal » désigne la partie du dispositif par lequel le produit liquide ou pâteux est extrait du dispositif.In a first embodiment, the device 1 for storing and dispensing a liquid or pasty product according to the invention essentially comprises three elements. By convention, it is specified that the term "distal" refers to the bottom part of the device on which the device is based and the term "proximal" refers to the part of the device by which the liquid or pasty product is extracted from the device.

Ces trois éléments sont respectivement illustrés aux figures 4 à 6.These three elements are respectively illustrated in Figures 4 to 6 .

La figure 4 montre que le dispositif 1 comprend un corps 2. Il s'agit d'une pièce qui peut être en matière plastique ou en verre. Le corps 2 présente, dans l'exemple illustré, une forme cylindrique ; le corps 2 peut cependant prendre toute autre forme désirée.The figure 4 shows that the device 1 comprises a body 2. It is a part that can be plastic or glass. The body 2 has, in the illustrated example, a cylindrical shape; the body 2 can however take any other desired shape.

Le corps 2 possède un fond 3 et une paroi latérale 4 qui délimite à son extrémité proximale une ouverture 5. Au niveau de son extrémité proximale, on peut noter que le corps 2 est doté d'un épaulement 6 ; sur la portion cylindrique qui est délimitée par l'épaulement 6, on note également la présence d'une nervure annulaire 7.The body 2 has a bottom 3 and a side wall 4 which defines at its proximal end an opening 5. At its proximal end, it may be noted that the body 2 is provided with a shoulder 6; on the cylindrical portion which is delimited by the shoulder 6, there is also the presence of an annular rib 7.

La figure 5 fait apparaître un second élément du dispositif selon l'invention qui est un tube plongeur 8. Ce tube plongeur 8 est donc constitué par un tube dont la longueur est supérieure à celle du corps. Une disposition importante du tube plongeur 8 réside dans la présence d'une collerette de verrouillage 10.The figure 5 shows a second element of the device according to the invention which is a dip tube 8. This dip tube 8 is constituted by a tube whose length is greater than that of the body. An important disposition of the dip tube 8 lies in the presence of a locking flange 10.

Dans l'exemple illustré, cette collerette de verrouillage 10 se présente sous la forme d'une paroi radiale 11 qui s'étend radialement depuis le tube plongeur et qui est prolongée par une paroi cylindrique 12.In the example illustrated, this locking flange 10 is in the form of a radial wall 11 which extends radially from the plunger tube and is extended by a cylindrical wall 12.

Le tube plongeur 8 est destiné à venir s'insérer dans un col 14 qui forme la partie proximale du dispositif une fois qu'il est assemblé.The dip tube 8 is intended to be inserted into a neck 14 which forms the proximal portion of the device once it is assembled.

Le col 14 présente une jupe 15 qui est destinée à venir s'engager sur l'ouverture 5 du corps 2.The neck 14 has a skirt 15 which is intended to engage the opening 5 of the body 2.

La jupe 15 présente une rainure annulaire 16. Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 6, cette rainure annulaire 16 comprend un sillon 17 circulaire.The skirt 15 has an annular groove 16. As can be seen on the figure 6 this annular groove 16 comprises a circular groove 17.

De manière concentrique à la jupe 15 et surmontant celle-ci, le col possède un goulot 18 cylindrique.Concentricly to the skirt 15 and surmounting it, the neck has a cylindrical neck 18.

Le goulot 18 présente un retour radial qui forme épaulement 19. C'est contre ce retour radial que vient en butée la collerette de verrouillage 10 du tube plongeur 8.The neck 18 has a radial return which forms shoulder 19. It is against this radial return that abuts the locking flange 10 of the plunger tube 8.

Les figures 5 et 6 montrent une forme de réalisation dans laquelle la collerette 10 possède une paroi radiale 11 ainsi qu'une paroi cylindrique 12. Il est bien clair que d'autres formes d'exécution de la collerette de verrouillage peuvent être envisagées.The Figures 5 and 6 show an embodiment in which the flange 10 has a radial wall 11 and a cylindrical wall 12. It is clear that other embodiments of the locking flange can be envisaged.

Dans une définition plus simple de la collerette 10, une paroi radiale venant en butée contre l'épaulement 19 suffirait à bloquer le tube plongeur.In a simpler definition of the flange 10, a radial wall abutting against the shoulder 19 would be enough to lock the plunger tube.

On verra plus loin que la collerette de verrouillage illustrée aux figures 5 et 6 présente cependant des avantages particuliers.We will see later that the locking collar illustrated in Figures 5 and 6 however, has particular advantages.

De façon avantageuse, le col 14 supporte un capuchon 20 qui dans l'exemple illustré est relié de manière sécable au col 14. La sécabilité du capuchon 20 est obtenue par une zone de liaison amincie entre le capuchon 20 et l'épaulement 19 du col 14.Advantageously, the neck 14 supports a cap 20 which in the example shown is connected in a breakable manner to the neck 14. The secability of the cap 20 is obtained by a thinned connection zone between the cap 20 and the shoulder 19 of the neck 14.

Là encore, d'autres dispositions pour rendre le capuchon inviolable peuvent être envisagées. Par exemple, on pourrait doter le goulot d'un pas de vis sur lequel serait vissé un capuchon muni d'un pas de vis présentant, par ailleurs, une bague d'inviolabilité comme cela est classiquement connu.Again, other arrangements to make the cap tamper-proof can be considered. For example, it could provide the neck with a screw thread on which would be screwed a cap with a thread having, moreover, a tamper ring as is conventionally known.

Comme cela apparaît sur la figure 6, le tube plongeur 8 est engagé dans le col 14 et est en butée contre celui-ci. Le tube plongeur 8, en d'autres termes, ne peut pas être déplacé à l'intérieur du col 14.As it appears on the figure 6 , the dip tube 8 is engaged in the neck 14 and abuts against it. The dip tube 8, in other words, can not be moved inside the neck 14.

Le dispositif 1 complet tel qu'il apparaît à la figure 1 par exemple est constitué par le clipsage sur le corps 2 du col 14 à l'intérieur duquel le tube plongeur 8 a préalablement été inséré. L'ensemble formé du corps 2 et du col 14 constitue un flacon 21.The complete device 1 as it appears in the figure 1 for example is constituted by the clipping on the body 2 of the neck 14 inside which the tube diver 8 has previously been inserted. The assembly formed of the body 2 and the neck 14 constitutes a bottle 21.

Dans l'exemple représenté, le clipsage du col sur le corps 2 est irréversible; l'irréversibilité est obtenue par l'engagement de la rainure annulaire 16 pratiquée dans la jupe 15 du col 14 sur l'extrémité proximale du corps 2 avec l'encliquetage de la nervure 7 dans le sillon circulaire 17 correspondant qui est pratiqué dans la jupe 15.In the example shown, the clipping of the neck on the body 2 is irreversible; the irreversibility is obtained by the engagement of the annular groove 16 made in the skirt 15 of the neck 14 on the proximal end of the body 2 with the snap of the rib 7 in the corresponding circular groove 17 which is formed in the skirt 15.

Il est précisé que, préalablement à l'encliquetage du col 14 associé au tube plongeur 8 sur le corps 2, le corps 2 est rempli de produit liquide ou pâteux. En effet, une fois effectué le clipsage du col 14 sur le corps 2, le contenu du dispositif 1 est totalement inaccessible.It is specified that, prior to snapping the neck 14 associated with the dip tube 8 on the body 2, the body 2 is filled with liquid or pasty product. Indeed, once the collar 14 has been clipped onto the body 2, the content of the device 1 is completely inaccessible.

On peut préciser que, dans la forme de réalisation de l'invention représentée, l'irréversibilité de la liaison entre le col 14 et le corps 2 est réalisée de manière exclusive mécanique. On peut cependant envisager de disposer un cordon de colle pour parfaire le caractère inamovible de la liaison du col 14 sur le corps 2.It can be specified that, in the embodiment of the invention shown, the irreversibility of the connection between the neck 14 and the body 2 is made exclusively mechanically. However, it is conceivable to have a bead of glue to perfect the irremovable character of the connection of the neck 14 to the body 2.

On a ainsi crée un dispositif 1 de stockage et de distribution qui est, tel que le montre la figure 1, totalement hermétique et qui, dans un premier temps et avant utilisation, garantit à l'utilisateur que le produit conditionné est intact et indemne de toute contamination.Thus, a storage and distribution device 1 has been created which is, as shown in FIG. figure 1 , completely hermetic and which, in a first time and before use, guarantees the user that the packaged product is intact and free from any contamination.

La figure 2 montre la manière avec laquelle l'utilisation du dispositif 1 selon l'invention est faite. Le capuchon 20 est cassé par une action manuelle de l'utilisateur, ce qui libère l'accès de l'extrémité libre proximale du tube plongeur 8.The figure 2 shows the manner in which the use of the device 1 according to the invention is made. The cap 20 is broken by a manual action of the user, which frees the access of the proximal free end of the plunger tube 8.

Lorsque le dispositif 1 est dans son état représenté à la figure 3, un utilisateur peut, par aspiration par le tube plongeur 8, extraire le liquide contenu dans le corps.When the device 1 is in its state represented at figure 3 a user can, by suction through the dip tube 8, extract the liquid contained in the body.

On voit alors clairement les avantages du dispositif selon l'invention puisqu'il n'est pas possible de contaminer le produit qui est contenu dans le flacon, seul un accès extrêmement limité - l'ouverture proximale du tube plongeur 8 - permettant d'accéder à ce qui est contenu dans le dispositif.The advantages of the device according to the invention are clearly visible since it is not possible to contaminate the product contained in the bottle, only extremely limited access - the proximal opening of the plunger tube 8 - allowing access to to what is contained in the device.

Toute tentative d'extraction du tube plongeur 8 se traduit par une rupture soit du retour radial 19 qui retient la collerette 10, soit par un arrachement du col 14 et une destruction des moyens de clipsage 7, 17. Dans un tel cas, il est évident pour l'utilisateur légitime que le dispositif, dont il se sert, a fait l'objet d'une tentative d'accès.Any attempt to extract the plunger tube 8 results in a rupture either of the radial return 19 which holds the flange 10, or by tearing of the neck 14 and destruction of the clipping means 7, 17. In such a case, it is obvious to the legitimate user that the device he is using has been attempted.

On peut revenir sur la configuration particulière de la collerette 10 de verrouillage qui est illustrée sur le dessin.We can return to the particular configuration of the locking collar 10 which is illustrated in the drawing.

Si l'on se réfère aux figures, cette collerette de verrouillage présente sensiblement une forme de U délimitée par la paroi radiale 11 et la paroi cylindrique 12.With reference to the figures, this locking collar has substantially a U-shaped shape delimited by the radial wall 11 and the cylindrical wall 12.

Cette forme de U permet de recueillir les éventuelles fuites de produit qui pourraient se produire lors de l'aspiration du produit par l'extrémité du tube plongeur 8.This U-shape makes it possible to collect any leakage of product that might occur during the suction of the product by the end of the dip tube 8.

Les figures 7 à 11 illustrent une autre forme de réalisation du dispositif de stockage et de distribution selon l'invention.The Figures 7 to 11 illustrate another embodiment of the storage and dispensing device according to the invention.

Dans cette forme de réalisation, le dispositif présente également trois éléments. Il s'agit d'un flacon 25 qui peut être en verre ou en plastique. Ce flacon possède, de manière classique, un corps 26 pourvu d'un fond 22, un col 27 et un goulot 28 définissant à l'extrémité proximale du flacon 25 une ouverture 23. Dans l'exemple représenté, le goulot 28, sur sa surface extérieure, présente un filetage 29.In this embodiment, the device also has three elements. This is a bottle 25 which may be glass or plastic. This bottle has, in a conventional manner, a body 26 provided with a bottom 22, a neck 27 and a neck 28 defining at the proximal end of the bottle 25 an opening 23. In the example shown, the neck 28, on its outer surface, has a thread 29.

Les figures 7 à 11 représentent un flacon 25 en deux parties encliquetées (corps 26 et ensemble col 27 + goulot 28), de façon similaire à ce qui a été décrit pour le premier mode de réalisation. Toutefois, il est à noter que le flacon 25 pourrait être réalisé en une seule pièce.The Figures 7 to 11 represent a bottle 25 in two parts latched (body 26 and set neck 27 + neck 28), similarly to what has been described for the first embodiment. However, it should be noted that the bottle 25 could be made in one piece.

Le tube plongeur 30, qui est illustré à la figure 10, est un élément qui est de préférence réalisé en matière plastique. Ce tube plongeur 30 est surmonté d'une tête 31 qui présente une jupe 32 et une paroi d'interface 33 avec une pompe 40. La paroi d'interface 33 possède une série de sections concentriques dont le diamètre se réduit en direction du tube plongeur 30. En pratique, la paroi d'interface 33 peut présenter une paroi annulaire 37 et une portion tronconique 38 entre lesquels est disposée une portion cylindrique 39.The plunger tube 30, which is illustrated at figure 10 is an element which is preferably made of plastic. This dip tube 30 is surmounted by a head 31 which has a skirt 32 and an interface wall 33 with a pump 40. The interface wall 33 has a series of concentric sections whose diameter is reduced in the direction of the dip tube 30. In practice, the interface wall 33 may have an annular wall 37 and a frustoconical portion 38 between which is disposed a cylindrical portion 39.

La pompe 40 peut être une pompe classique de type airless ou non.The pump 40 may be a conventional pump type airless or not.

La structure de la pompe 40 ne sera pas décrite plus avant sauf en ce qui concerne sa partie d'interface avec la paroi d'interface 33 de la tête 31 du tube plongeur 30.The structure of the pump 40 will not be described further except with respect to its interface portion with the interface wall 33 of the head 31 of the plunger tube 30.

En effet, la pompe 40 possède, à son extrémité, un épaulement 41 qui vient en appui contre la paroi annulaire 37 de la tête 31 du tube plongeur 30. On note également que la pompe 40 possède une portion cylindrique 42 qui vient se centrer dans la portion cylindrique 39 de la tête 31 du tube plongeur 30.Indeed, the pump 40 has, at its end, a shoulder 41 which abuts against the annular wall 37 of the head 31 of the dip tube 30. It is also noted that the pump 40 has a portion cylindrical 42 which is centered in the cylindrical portion 39 of the head 31 of the plunger tube 30.

Par ailleurs, l'extrémité de la pompe 40 possède une partie tronconique 43 qui vient en appui contre la paroi tronconique 38 de la tête 31 du tube plongeur 30.Furthermore, the end of the pump 40 has a frustoconical portion 43 which abuts against the frustoconical wall 38 of the head 31 of the plunger tube 30.

La mise en place du tube plongeur 30 dans le flacon 25 se fait de la manière suivante.The introduction of the dip tube 30 into the bottle 25 is as follows.

La tête 31 du tube plongeur 30 est tout d'abord chaussée sur l'extrémité de la pompe 40.The head 31 of the plunger tube 30 is firstly paved on the end of the pump 40.

La pompe 40 est ensuite vissée par un filetage 45 sur le goulot 28 du flacon 25. Se faisant, la tête 31 du tube plongeur 30 est insérée dans le goulot 28 du flacon 25. Il est précisé que, préalablement à l'insertion du tube plongeur 30 dans le goulot 28, le flacon 25 a été préalablement rempli d'un produit liquide ou pâteux.The pump 40 is then screwed by a thread 45 on the neck 28 of the bottle 25. In doing so, the head 31 of the plunger tube 30 is inserted into the neck 28 of the bottle 25. It is specified that, prior to insertion of the tube diver 30 in the neck 28, the bottle 25 was previously filled with a liquid or pasty product.

Lorsque la pompe 40 est dévissée du flacon 25, ce qui est possible puisque la pompe 40 est liée au flacon par un filetage, le tube plongeur 30 reste inséré dans le goulot 28.When the pump 40 is unscrewed from the bottle 25, which is possible since the pump 40 is connected to the bottle by a thread, the plunger tube 30 remains inserted in the neck 28.

Dans l'exemple illustré sur le dessin, la tête 31 du tube plongeur 30 présente un diamètre qui assure, avec le diamètre du goulot 28, la retenue du tube plongeur 30 dans le flacon 25 par un ajustement serré.In the example illustrated in the drawing, the head 31 of the dip tube 30 has a diameter which ensures, with the diameter of the neck 28, the retention of the dip tube 30 in the bottle 25 by a tight fit.

Il peut également être envisagé de doter la jupe 32 du tube plongeur 30 de moyens d'encliquetage mécanique type nervures ou arêtes de poisson, qui viennent éventuellement s'engager dans des moyens complémentaires de type nervures, rainures etc... ménagés dans la surface intérieure du goulot 28.It may also be envisaged to endow the skirt 32 with the plunger tube 30 with mechanical ratcheting means such as ribs or fish bones, which may be engaged in complementary means such as ribs, grooves, etc., formed in the surface. inside the neck 28.

Le retrait du tube plongeur 30 s'avère impossible, d'une part, à cause de son engagement avec serrage dans le goulot 28 du flacon 25 mais également du fait que la tête 31 du tube plongeur 30 n'offre aucune prise pour son retrait du flacon 25.The withdrawal of the plunger tube 30 proves impossible, on the one hand, because of its clamping engagement in the neck 28 of the bottle 25, but also on the fact that the head 31 of the plunger tube 30 offers no grip for its removal. from the bottle 25.

En effet, les différentes surfaces qui ont permis l'insertion du tube plongeur lors du vissage de la pompe sur le flacon sont des surfaces qui sont dépourvues de saillies et qui n'offrent pas de prise pour un outil simple de type tournevis.Indeed, the different surfaces that allowed the insertion of the dip tube when screwing the pump on the bottle are surfaces that are free of projections and which do not offer a socket for a simple tool type screwdriver.

Ainsi, la pompe peut être réutilisée, par exemple pour une recharge ; en revanche, le flacon ne peut pas être rempli de manière simple puisque le tube plongeur empêche qu'un produit vienne se substituer au produit original qui était conditionné dans le flacon.Thus, the pump can be reused, for example for a refill; however, the bottle can not be filled in a simple way since the dip tube prevents a product from replacing the original product that was packaged in the bottle.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux deux formes de réalisation décrites ci-dessus à titre d'exemple non limitatif mais elle en embrasse au contraire toutes les formes de réalisation.Of course, the invention is not limited to the two embodiments described above by way of non-limiting example but it encompasses all the embodiments.
