Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an assembly and a packaging method for vacuum packaging an article, such as a fluid dispenser.
  • the packaging assembly comprises a sealed enclosure in which the article is placed to be vacuum packaged.
  • the present invention will find a preferred application in the field of cosmetics, or that of pharmacy or food products.

  • the vacuum filling ensures that there are no air bubbles included within the fluid mass.
  • the vacuum seal consists of sealingly mounting the pump or the valve on the filled tank in an enclosure where there is an air gap. This ensures that there is no or little air inside the reservoir in contact with the fluid.
  • Vacuum levels used can vary (high vacuum, partial vacuum, light vacuum) depending on the fluid to be packaged.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks of the prior art by proposing a packaging assembly which is capable of generating a vacuum or a vacuum inside a container for packaging fluid dispensers without vacuum pump work.

  • the present invention is not limited to the packaging of fluid dispensers, but of any article requiring vacuum packaging.
  • the present invention provides a packaging assembly for vacuum packaging (light, partial or even pushed) an article, such as a fluid dispenser, the assembly comprising a sealed enclosure for receiving an article which is vacuum packaged in this chamber, characterized in that the enclosure comprises a movable conditioning element inside the enclosure, the enclosure being connected to a vacuum chamber comprising a piston adapted to vary the volume of the chamber , the conditioning element and the piston being integral in displacement so that a displacement of the piston in the direction of an increase in volume of the chamber has the effect of generating a vacuum in the chamber.
  • the conditioning element constitutes a press element adapted to exert an axial pressure on the article, once the chamber under vacuum.
  • a vacuum is produced both inside the enclosure and the mounting (fixing / sealing) of the fluid dispenser, without the use of a pump. empty, or even extra energy.
  • the force that is used to move the conditioning element inside the chamber is used to move the piston inside the vacuum chamber which will generate a vacuum inside the chamber.
  • the conditioning element reaches the end of the race and performs the conditioning operation of the dispenser inside the chamber where there is a slight vacuum, partial or pushed.
  • Partial vacuum means a pressure lower than atmospheric pressure which can reach low pressure values, without being considered a deep or deep vacuum. For example, it is possible to achieve with the present invention a mean vacuum of the order of 0.4 atmospheres.
  • the piston and the conditioning element are both biased by elastic return means in a rest position, in which the vacuum chamber has a minimum volume, advantageously zero, and the speaker has a maximum volume.
  • the conditioning element is able to generate a volume variation of the chamber, the increase in volume of the chamber being greater than the volume decrease in the chamber, so as to generate a depression, at the both in the room and in the enclosure.
  • the conditioning element decreases the volume of the chamber, and at the same time, the piston increases the volume of the vacuum chamber faster, which generates a vacuum that will suck air from the chamber.
  • a partial vacuum which can even be relatively high, can be achieved.
  • a high vacuum can be achieved.
  • the enclosure may comprise a lower part in which the article is deposited and an upper part adapted to come into sealing contact with the lower part to form the enclosure, the lower and lower parts.
  • superior being mutually movable relative to each other along an axis X
  • the conditioning element being located in the upper part so as to move along the axis X
  • the piston being slidably mounted in the vacuum chamber according to the X axis.
  • the vacuum chamber is defined by a sleeve and the piston, the sleeve and the upper part of the enclosure together form a base body.
  • the piston and the conditioning element are integrally connected together and comprise a common actuating member for moving them together axially against elastic return means.
  • the packaging assembly comprises a mobile unit displaceable back and forth in the base body against the elastic return means, this mobile unit forming the conditioning element, the piston and the control member. common actuation.
  • the packaging assembly consists essentially of two distinct parts, namely the base body which is displaceable relative to the lower part receiving the article and the mobile unit which is movable both with respect to the basic body and at the bottom.
  • the elastic return means make it possible to return the mobile unit to its rest position.
  • the enclosure is connected to the vacuum chamber by a conduit adapted to selectively connect the vacuum chamber to the enclosure.
  • the packaging assembly may for example be used as a simple mounting press, without vacuum packaging, or as a press simultaneously generating a vacuum or vacuum in a sealed enclosure.
  • the chamber defines a sliding shaft for the piston, this shaft comprising a vent hole, the piston reaching the vent hole at the end of the stroke to return the chamber and the chamber to atmospheric pressure.
  • the enclosure or element may comprise a differential stroke device allowing the piston to continue its stroke to the vent hole, while the head is already in its final mounting position on the reservoir .
  • the piston moves over a determined depression stroke and the conditioning element moves over a determined conditioning stroke, the piston and the conditioning element being integral with each other only on a limited race that corresponds to the conditioning race.
  • the piston is not connected to the conditioning element, but simply comes into contact with the latter at the end of the piston stroke to drive it on its conditioning stroke. It can thus be said that the piston and the conditioning element are integral in displacement, but only temporarily.
  • the invention also defines a method of vacuum packaging an article using a packaging assembly as described above.
  • the spirit of the invention is to use the displacement of an element of a packaging assembly to generate, without energy or additional operation, a vacuum in a sealed chamber where operates this movable element.
  • This element can fulfill a function of conventional mounting press, or any other function necessary for the packaging of an appropriate article.
  • the displaceable element can for example be used to screw, crimp, weld, pinch, deform, etc.
  • the packaging assembly is more particularly adapted to the packaging of an article D which is a fluid dispenser, such as those found in the fields of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
  • the fluid dispensers of these areas comprise a reservoir R for containing fluid and a dispensing head T which is sealingly mounted on the reservoir.
  • the dispensing head T conventionally comprises a dispensing member, such as a pump or a valve, which is mounted on the reservoir directly or with the aid of a fixing ring.
  • the dispensing member is capped with an axially displaceable pusher with the aid of one or more finger (s) to actuate the dispenser member and thus dispense fluid in dosage form or not.
  • the dispensing head T can also be equipped with a protective cover which caps the pusher.
  • a protective cover which caps the pusher.
  • This is a quite conventional design for a fluid dispenser suitable for dispensing a cosmetic or pharmaceutical product.
  • the present invention is not limited to the only packaging of this type of dispenser, but applies more generally to any article, for which it is necessary to resort to vacuum packaging, at least partially.
  • the packaging assembly of the invention essentially comprises a lower part of the enclosure 5, a base body 1 and a mobile unit 2. To these elements are added a return spring 4 which acts as an elastic return means, and a conduit 3 mounted on the base body 1.
  • the lower part 5, the base body 1 and the mobile unit 2 are preferably made of metal, preferably by machining, assembly and / or molding.
  • the lower portion of the enclosure 5 is in the form of a bucket comprising a bottom, a side wall and an annular free upper edge which is provided with an O-ring 52.
  • the lower part 5 is intended to receive article D which requires the conditioning operation.
  • the article which is a fluid dispenser, requires conditioning to seal the dispensing head T on the tank R, and this under vacuum.
  • the tank R protrudes outside the lower part 5, just like the dispensing head T, which is just deposited on the tank, without creating of tight contact with it.
  • the base body 1 comprises an enclosure upper part 11 which defines a lower free annular edge 12 intended to come into sealing contact with the O-ring 52 of the lower part 5.
  • the upper part 11 is movable in the direction of the lower part 5, or vice versa. Once in sealed contact, the two parts 5 and 11 together form a sealed enclosure which is isolated from the outside.
  • the upper part 11 is here in the form of an elongate hollow tube defining a housing whose inner diameter is sufficient to accommodate the article D to be packaged. In this case, the dispensing head T can easily engage inside the tube formed by the upper part 11.
  • the upper part 11 is provided with a lateral bore 13 to which a duct 3 is connected. opposite end to the lower edge 12, the upper portion 11 defines an annular collar 14 which projects outwardly.
  • the housing formed inside the upper portion 11 extends from its lower free edge 12 to the flange 14 in a through manner.
  • an O-ring J1 whose function will be given below.
  • the flange 14 is connected at its outer periphery to a sleeve 15 internally defining a sliding shaft 16 whose diameter is greater than that of the housing of the lower portion 11.
  • the sleeve 15 is formed with a vent hole 17, and a bore 18 which connects to the conduit 3.
  • this duct is removable or closable so as to be able to cut or selectively establish the communication between the upper portion 11 and the sleeve 15.
  • the sleeve 15 also defines a shoulder 19 which extends towards the inside.
  • This shoulder 19 defines a passage opening which is provided with an O-ring J2. Due to the presence of the flange 14 and the shoulder 19, it is defined inside the sleeve 15 a volume of constant size.
  • the mobile unit 2 comprises a conditioning element 21 which is a press element in the example of the figures. It is also possible to provide an element for screwing, crimping, welding, folding, etc. without departing from the scope of the invention.
  • This conditioning element 21 is displaceable inside the upper part 11, and this sealingly at the O-ring J1. As a result, the conditioning element 21 sealingly separates the upper part 11 from the volume formed inside the sleeve 15.
  • the displaceable element 21 is connected to a piston 22 which slides in a sealed manner, thanks to the presence of an O-ring 23, inside the barrel 16 formed by the sleeve 15.
  • the piston 22 is extended upwards by a thrust transmission rod 24 surmounted by a support plate 25 on which can exert an axial pressure force.
  • the rod 24 slides sealingly inside the O-ring J2 provided at the shoulder 19.
  • the return spring 4 is engaged around the rod 24 and is supported on the one hand under the plate 25 and on the shoulder 19. Consequently, the return spring 4 biases the mobile unit 2 with respect to the base body 1 in a rest position, which is that shown in FIG. figure 1 .
  • the rod 24 is extracted as far as possible out of the sleeve 15, the piston 22 abuts against the shoulder 19 and the conditioning element 21 is retracted as far as possible inside the sleeve 15. that an annular space A is formed inside the sleeve 15 around the conditioning element 21.
  • This annular space A is closed at its upper end by the piston 22 and at its lower end by the flange 14.
  • This space A can nevertheless communicate freely with the outside through the vent hole 17 formed in the sleeve 15. Therefore, the annular space A is always at atmospheric pressure. It is recalled that the annular space A does not communicate with the upper part 11, because of the presence of the O-ring J1 which is in sealing engagement in leaktight sliding contact around the conditioning element 21.
  • FIG. 2a is simply the result of contacting the lower edge 12 of the upper part 11 with the O-ring 52 of the lower part 5.
  • the mobile unit 2 has remained static with respect to the basic body 1.
  • the conditioning element 21 has remained static with respect to the upper part 11.
  • the relative displacement of the lower and upper parts 5, 11 simply has the effect of constituting the enclosure E where we will generate a partial vacuum.
  • the article D namely the fluid dispenser, is disposed inside the enclosure E in the unassembled state so that the interior of the tank R communicates directly with the enclosure E.
  • the increase in volume of the vacuum chamber C has the effect of creating a vacuum inside the chamber enclosure E through the duct 3.
  • the maximum volume of the vacuum chamber C is determined relative to the volume of the enclosure E.
  • the vacuum chamber C has then reached its maximum volume and the annular space A is reduced to a zero or almost zero volume.
  • the vacuum reaches a maximum value inside the chamber C, but also inside the space E connected to the chamber by the duct 3.
  • the mobile unit 2 reaches its end of stroke inside the base body 1 against the return spring 4, as shown on the Figure 2c .
  • the piston 22 has passed below the vent hole 17, which means that the chamber (C) then communicates directly with the outside, and is thus reset to atmospheric pressure. It is the same for the enclosure E which is always connected to the space A by the duct 3. This means that the return to the atmospheric pressure takes place automatically at the very end of the race, without it being necessary to order a possible valve. It is of course essential that the return to atmospheric pressure occurs just after the final assembly of the head T on the tank R.
  • the seal between the head and the reservoir is realized before the piston reaches the vent hole .
  • the piston arrives at the vent hole at the moment when the head reaches its final mounting position on the tank R.
  • the element 21 may be provided with a differential travel device 26 formed at the free end of the element 21, and which comes into contact with the head T. This device allows the piston 22 to continue its stroke to the vent hole 17, while the head T is already in its position of final assembly on the reservoir R.
  • This differential travel device 26 comprises elastic means 27, for example in the form of a spring, whose stiffness is greater than the support force required to mount the head T on the reservoir .
  • the elastic means remain inoperative when mounting the head on the reservoir, and are constrained only during the final stroke of the piston to reach the vent hole. It is also possible to provide a similar or similar device at the bottom 5 of the enclosure. Thus, once the vacuum chamber C and the chamber E returned to atmospheric pressure, then simply releasing the pressure on the plate 25 and open the chamber to remove the distributor in its final state of assembly.
  • the packaging assembly of the invention defines a single axis X along which all the constituent elements of the packaging assembly move. Therefore, it is possible, by simply pressing the plate 25, to form the set E, of move the element 21 and create and increase the volume of the vacuum chamber C. In other words, the creation and increase of the volume of the vacuum chamber C is obtained without manipulation or additional operation other than that necessary to move the conditioning element 21.
  • the addition of this vacuum chamber C does not therefore complicate the operation of a conventional assembly press used to mount the dispensing heads on the fluid tanks. This is because the piston 22 is integral in displacement of the element 21.
  • the operating rate of the conditioning assembly is not even affected by the presence of the vacuum chamber C, since the depression generated is instantaneous and certainly synchronized with the element 21, since the latter is made integrally with the piston 22.

  • the piston 22 is not fixedly connected to the conditioning element 21. In fact, it may be noted that these two parts are separated from each other by the space A.
  • the piston 22 moves downwardly so as to increase the volume of the vacuum chamber C and to reduce the volume of the space A This creates a vacuum inside the chamber C which is communicated to the enclosure E by an internal conduit 3.
