Description
La présente invention concerne une bague de fixation pour monter un organe de distribution, telle qu'une pompe ou une valve, sur un col d'un réservoir. En général, la bague comprend des moyens de réception aptes à recevoir fixement la pompe ou la valve, et des moyens de fixation aptes à venir en prise avec le col du réservoir. De telles bagues de fixation sont couramment utilisées dans les domaines de la parfumerie, de la cosmétique ou encore de la pharmacie. La présente invention concerne également un distributeur de produit fluide intégrant un réservoir, une pompe ou une valve, et une bague de fixation selon l'invention.The present invention relates to a fixing ring for mounting a dispensing member, such as a pump or a valve, on a neck of a reservoir. In general, the ring comprises receiving means able to receive the pump or the valve fixedly, and fixing means able to come into engagement with the neck of the reservoir. Such fixing rings are commonly used in the fields of perfumery, cosmetics or even pharmacy. The present invention also relates to a fluid dispenser integrating a reservoir, a pump or a valve, and a fixing ring according to the invention.
Il existe déjà dans l'art antérieur de nombreux documents décrivant des bagues de fixation pour fixer une pompe ou une valve sur un col de réservoir. Les moyens de fixation de la bague peuvent utiliser diverses techniques connues, comme par exemple le vissage, le sertissage, l'encliquetage, etc. Dans la technique d'encliquetage, il existe deux types distincts, à savoir l'encliquetage réalisé uniquement par la bague de fixation, et l'encliquetage réalisé par la coopération de la bague de fixation avec une frette de verrouillage qui vient entourer la bague. Les techniques de sertissage et d'encliquetage permettent de réaliser une fixation définitive, en ce sens que l'utilisateur n'est normalement pas amené à retirer la pompe du réservoir. La technique de vissage réalise une fixation non définitive permettant à l'utilisateur de dévisser la bague pour pouvoir avoir accès à l'intérieur du réservoir à travers le col. L'invention trouvera une application privilégiée avec les bagues de fixation définitives, mais pourra également s'appliquer aux bagues de fixation non définitives, si cela s'avère nécessaire ou utile.There are already in the prior art many documents describing fixing rings for fixing a pump or a valve on a tank neck. The means for fixing the ring can use various known techniques, such as for example screwing, crimping, snap-fastening, etc. In the latching technique, there are two distinct types, namely the latching carried out only by the fixing ring, and the latching produced by the cooperation of the fixing ring with a locking band which comes to surround the ring. The crimping and snap-on techniques make it possible to make a final fixing, in the sense that the user is not normally required to remove the pump from the reservoir. The screwing technique achieves a non-final fixing allowing the user to unscrew the ring to be able to have access to the interior of the tank through the neck. The invention will find a preferred application with the permanent fixing rings, but may also be applied to non-permanent fixing rings, if this proves to be necessary or useful.
De plus en plus, il est exigé de pouvoir recycler le distributeur, c'est-à-dire de pouvoir séparer ces différents éléments constitutifs dans le but de les recycler séparément. Bien entendu, lorsque la bague de fixation réalise une fixation définitive (sertissage, encliquetage), le démontage du distributeur est compliqué, puisqu'il nécessite de détruire la bague de fixation, ce qui s'avère souvent compliqué. Avec les bagues de fixation à visser, le problème ne se pose que de manière restreinte, étant donné qu'il est possible de dévisser la bague du col. Toutefois, dans certaines applications, il peut être souhaitable de pouvoir retirer la bague sans avoir à la dévisser. Or, ceci n'est pas possible avec les bagues de fixation conventionnelles qui sont à l'heure actuelle sur le marché.Increasingly, it is required to be able to recycle the distributor, that is to say to be able to separate these various constituent elements in order to recycle them separately. Of course, when the fixing ring achieves a final fixing (crimping, snap-fastening), disassembly of the distributor is complicated, since it requires destroying the fixing ring, which often turns out to be complicated. With the fixing rings to be screwed, the problem only arises in a limited way, since it is possible to unscrew the ring from the neck. However, in certain applications, it may be desirable to be able to remove the ring without having to unscrew it. However, this is not possible with the conventional fixing rings which are currently on the market.
Le but de la présente invention est de remédier à cet inconvénient précité de l'art antérieur en définissant une nouvelle bague de fixation qui permet un recyclage facile et rapide du distributeur, sans pour cela augmenter le nombre de pièces constitutives du distributeur ou compliquer la fabrication de ces éléments constitutifs.The object of the present invention is to remedy this aforementioned drawback of the prior art by defining a new fixing ring which allows easy and rapid recycling of the dispenser, without thereby increasing the number of component parts of the dispenser or complicating the manufacture. of these building blocks.
Pour atteindre ce but, la présente invention propose une bague de fixation selon la revendication 1. Les moyens de rupture, au cours de l'utilisation du distributeur, ne remplissent absolument aucune fonction, et semble même inexistants. En effet, la bague de fixation va remplir sa fonction première de pièce intermédiaire entre la pompe ou la valve et le col du réservoir. L'utilisateur du distributeur ne sait même pas que ces moyens de rupture sont présents dans le distributeur. De plus, les moyens de rupture sont calculés de telle manière qu'un utilisateur moyen, dans des conditions d'utilisation normales, ne puisse pas exercer la force nécessaire à faire rompre les moyens de rupture. Ainsi, tout risque de rupture involontaire ou accidentel par l'utilisateur est évité. En revanche, il sera aisé de régler la machine automatique dédiée à la rupture de la bague avec la force ou le couple nécessaire à faire rompre les moyens de rupture. En d'autres termes, lorsqu'il s'agit d'une bague de fixation définitive (sertissage, encliquetage), le caractère définitif est bien réel pour l'utilisateur, mais pas pour le recycleur ultérieur.To achieve this object, the present invention provides a fixing ring according to
La jupe peut être une jupe interne destinée à venir en prise avec l'intérieur du col, ou en variante préférentielle, la jupe peut être une jupe extérieure venant en prise autour du col.The skirt can be an internal skirt intended to come into engagement with the inside of the neck, or in a preferential variant, the skirt can be an outside skirt coming into engagement around the neck.
Selon un autre aspect intéressant de l'invention, les moyens de rupture se présentent dans la forme de fenêtres disposées de manière à former une ligne de rupture annulaire. A la place des fenêtres traversantes, on peut également imaginer une ou plusieurs rainures permettant de réduire localement l'épaisseur de paroi, créant ainsi une ligne de moindre résistance. Que les moyens de rupture se présentent sous la forme de fenêtres ou de rainures, leur but est d'affaiblir localement la bague de manière à imposer l'emplacement de la rupture ainsi que la force nécessaire pour réaliser cette rupture.According to another interesting aspect of the invention, the breaking means are in the form of windows arranged so as to form an annular breaking line. Instead of through windows, one can also imagine one or more grooves making it possible to locally reduce the wall thickness, thus creating a line of least resistance. Whether the rupture means are in the form of windows or grooves, their purpose is to locally weaken the ring so as to impose the location of the rupture as well as the force necessary to achieve this rupture.
Une telle bague de fixation, lorsqu'il s'agit d'une bague de fixation à encliquetage, peut être associée à une frette extérieure, qui peut être une frette d'habillage lorsque la bague réalise une fixation définitive à elle seule, ou une frette de verrouillage engagée autour de la bague pour verrouiller les moyens de fixation autour du col, lorsqu'il s'agit d'une bague de fixation nécessitant la coopération d'une frette.Such a fixing ring, when it is a snap-on fixing ring, can be associated with an external hoop, which can be a covering hoop when the ring achieves a final fixing on its own, or a locking hoop engaged around the ring to lock the fixing means around the neck, when it is a fixing ring requiring the cooperation of a hoop.
La présente invention définit également un distributeur de produit fluide comprenant :
- un réservoir formant un col,
- un organe de distribution, tel qu'une pompe ou une valve, et
- une bague de fixation telle que définie ci-dessus,
- a reservoir forming a neck,
- a dispensing member, such as a pump or a valve, and
- a fixing ring as defined above,
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le distributeur peut en outre comprendre une frette de verrouillage engagée autour de la bague pour verrouiller les moyens de fixation autour du col. La frette remplit alors une fonction technique. En variante, on peut également utiliser une frette d'habillage, ne remplissant qu'une fonction esthétique, avec une bague de fixation qui assure à elle seule la fixation.According to another characteristic of the invention, the dispenser can also include a locking hoop engaged around the ring to lock the fixing means around the neck. The hoop then fulfills a technical function. As a variant, it is also possible to use a covering band, fulfilling only an aesthetic function, with a fixing ring which alone fixes it.
Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, la bague comprend une jupe s'étendant en dessous des moyens de rupture et une douille s'étendant au-dessus des moyens de rupture, la frette étant en prise plus forte avec la douille qu'avec la jupe.According to another aspect of the invention, the ring comprises a skirt extending below the rupture means and a sleeve extending above the rupture means, the hoop being in stronger engagement with the sleeve than with the skirt.
Dans ce cas, la rupture des moyens de rupture permet de désolidariser individuellement les pattes du reste de la bague, ce qui facilite d'une part le retrait de la bague de fixation du col et l'enlèvement des pattes, étant donné qu'elles ne sont plus reliées entre elles.In this case, the rupture of the rupture means makes it possible to separate the tabs individually from the rest of the ring, which on the one hand facilitates the removal of the collar fixing ring and the removal of the tabs, since they are no longer interconnected.
L'esprit de la présente invention est de créer une faiblesse contrôlée au niveau de la bague de fixation qui est mise à profit, non pas par l'utilisateur du distributeur qui ignore la présence de cette faiblesse, mais par un opérateur ultérieur chargé du recyclage, notamment du désassemblage, du distributeur. Cette faiblesse permet de détruire définitivement la bague de fixation et de retirer ainsi la pompe ou la valve du réservoir.The spirit of the present invention is to create a controlled weakness at the level of the fixing ring which is taken advantage of, not by the user of the distributor who is unaware of the presence of this weakness, but by a subsequent operator responsible for recycling. , including disassembly, the distributor. This weakness makes it possible to permanently destroy the fixing ring and thus to remove the pump or the valve from the tank.
L'invention sera maintenant plus amplement décrite en référence aux dessins joints donnant à titre d'exemples non limitatifs plusieurs modes de réalisation de l'invention.The invention will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings which give, by way of nonlimiting examples, several embodiments of the invention.

Les moyens de réception 31 peuvent se présenter sous la forme d'une gorge annulaire 311 permettant de recevoir, avantageusement par encliquetage, une collerette radiale saillante (non représentée) formée par un organe de distribution, telle qu'une pompe ou une valve. La réception de l'organe de distribution dans cette gorge 311 doit non seulement permettre un maintien stable de l'organe de distribution, mais également une étanchéité parfaite. Les moyens de réception 31 comprennent également une ouverture axiale 312 à travers laquelle peut s'étendre la tige d'actionnement (non représentée) de l'organe de distribution. A la place de la gorge annulaire d'encliquetage 311, on peut imaginer d'autres structures permettant de réaliser une fixation stable et étanche de l'organe de distribution sur la bague.The receiving means 31 may be in the form of an
Le plateau annulaire 32 s'étend radialement vers l'extérieur à partir de la périphérie externe des moyens de réception 31. Le but de ce plateau 32 est d'exercer une pression axiale sur le bord annulaire supérieur du col pour réaliser une étanchéité à ce niveau. Conventionnellement, un joint de col est interposé entre le plateau 32 et le bord supérieur du col, et ce joint est écrasé contre le col par le plateau 32.The
La jupe de fixation 33 s'étend librement vers le bas à partir de la périphérie externe du plateau 32. Cette jupe 33 présente une forme générale sensiblement cylindrique. La majeure partie de la jupe 33 est formée par des pattes 331 séparées par des fentes verticales 333 qui sont ouvertes vers le bas. Les extrémités inférieures des pattes 331 sont formées intérieurement avec des moyens de fixation 332, qui peuvent par exemple se présenter sous la forme d'une ou plusieurs protubérances radiales internes. Sur la
La douille de guidage 34 s'étend librement vers le haut à partir de la périphérie externe du plateau 32. Avantageusement, la douille 34 s'étend dans l'alignement de la jupe 33 de manière à former ensemble une paroi extérieure cylindrique. La douille 34 a un but de guidage pour une frette de verrouillage (non représentée), qui est engagée avec serrage autour de la paroi externe cylindrique de la douille 34 et de la jupe 33 pour verrouiller les moyens de fixation 332 définitivement en prise avec le col.The
Il s'agit la d'une structure tout à fait conventionnelle et bien connue pour une bague de fixation permettant une fixation définitive en association avec une frette de verrouillage extérieure. Lors du montage, la bague de fixation 3, déjà équipée de sa pompe ou de sa valve, est engagée sur le col : plus précisément, la jupe 33 est engagée autour du col, et pour ce faire, les pattes 331 sont déformées radialement vers l'extérieur jusqu'à ce que ces moyens de fixation 332 puissent venir au moins se loger sous l'épaulement (non représenté) du col. Ensuite, on abaisse la frette de verrouillage autour de la jupe 33 pour contraindre les moyens de fixation 332 sous l'épaulement du col et les verrouiller dans cette position. On obtient ainsi une fixation définitive de la bague sur le col de réservoir. Il s'agit là d'une technique de montage tout à fait conventionnelle et bien connue dans le domaine de la parfumerie, de la cosmétique ou encore de la pharmacie.It is a completely conventional structure well known for a fixing ring allowing a final fixing in association with an external locking band. During assembly, the fixing
Selon l'invention, la bague 3 est pourvue de moyens de rupture 35 permettant de la casser en au moins deux parties de façon à pouvoir retirer la pompe ou la valve du réservoir. Ces moyens de rupture 35 sont selon l'invention prévus entre les moyens de fixation 332 et les moyens de réception 31. Les moyens de rupture 35 peuvent par exemple être prévus au niveau du plateau 32. Selon l'invention, les moyens de rupture 35 sont prévus au niveau de la jupe 33. Selon l'invention, les moyens de rupture 35 sont réalisés au niveau des extrémités supérieures des pattes 331, approximativement au niveau où les pattes 331 sont reliées au reste de la bague. Les moyens de rupture 35 peuvent par exemple se présenter sous la forme de fenêtres allongées traversantes 35 qui traversent l'épaisseur de paroi des pattes. Comme on peut le voir sur la
A la place des fenêtres 35, on peut également imaginer d'autres formes de réalisation pour les moyens de rupture. Ceux-ci peuvent être réalisés sous la forme d'une ou de plusieurs rainures permettant de réduire localement l'épaisseur de paroi de la bague. Ces rainures peuvent être considérées comme des fenêtres non traversantes.Instead of the

La
Cette bague de fixation 3' comprend des moyens de rupture 35 qui peuvent par exemple se présenter sous la forme d'évidements, c'est-à-dire de fenêtres non traversantes. Ces évidements réduisent localement l'épaisseur de paroi de la jupe 33, créant ainsi une ligne de moindre résistance à la traction ou au cisaillement. Les évidements s'étendent sur toute la périphérie interne de la jupe 33 de manière à créer ensemble une ligne de rupture annulaire. En exerçant une traction ou un couple approprié, par exemple au niveau de la douille 34, on peut séparer la jupe 33 du restant de la bague. Toutefois, la jupe 33 va rester en position autour du col, ce qui nécessitera une opération supplémentaire de découpage ou d'arrachage de la jupe 33.This fixing
On se référera maintenant aux
La bague de fixation 3" présente une conception sensiblement similaire à celle du premier mode de réalisation. La jupe 33 forme des pattes 331 séparées par des fentes 333. Les moyens de rupture 35 sont formés au niveau des extrémités supérieures des pattes 331 au niveau où ils rejoignent le reste de la bague. Bien que non représentée, la bague 3" comprend des moyens de réception, par exemple par encliquetage, permettant de recevoir un organe de distribution 2, qui comprend un corps 21, une entrée de produit fluide 22, un tube plongeur 23 ainsi qu'un poussoir 25.

Pour bloquer les pattes 331 sous l'épaulement 12 du col, il est prévu une frette de verrouillage 4 qui est engagée autour de la bague 3" en contact serrant pour forcer et bloquer les moyens de fixation 332 sous l'épaulement 12. La frette de verrouillage 4 peut par exemple être réalisée en métal.To block the
Dans ce mode de réalisation particulier, la bague de fixation 3" comprend plusieurs logements 335 formés entre deux pattes adjacentes 331. Le logement 335 peut être considéré comme une fente particulière étant donné qu'elle sépare deux pattes. Ceci est clairement visible sur la
De préférence, la frette est en prise plus forte ou plus appuyée avec la douille 34 qu'avec la jupe 33. Ainsi, la frette est davantage solidaire de la douille que de la jupe, et comme la douille est séparée de la jupe par les moyens de rupture 35, une force de traction et/ou de rotation exercée sur la frette agira principalement ou prioritairement sur la douille, ce qui va induire une contrainte sur les moyens de rupture, qui vont finalement casser.Preferably, the hoop is in stronger or more supported engagement with the
A la place des profils de blocage en rotation 13, on peut imaginer tout moyen équivalent permettant de bloquer en rotation la bague sur le col. Dans le cas d'une bague de fixation à visser, on peut par exemple imaginer que les profils de blocage en rotation se présentent sous la forme de crans permettant le vissage, mais interdisant tout dévissage de la bague.Instead of the rotation blocking profiles 13, one can imagine any equivalent means allowing the ring to be blocked in rotation on the neck. In the case of a fixing ring to be screwed, one can for example imagine that the rotation blocking profiles are in the form of notches allowing the screwing, but preventing any unscrewing of the ring.
Grâce à la présente invention, il est possible de démonter rapidement et proprement un distributeur de produit fluide, que la bague de fixation soit à montage définitif ou non définitif.Thanks to the present invention, it is possible to quickly and cleanly dismantle a fluid dispenser, whether the fixing ring is for permanent or non-permanent mounting.
