Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for packaging viscous product, emptying by manual pumping, and its method of implementation.
  • Some devices comprise an orifice in the outer casing, which is closed by a valve, or a valve, at the moment of pressurization by the operator, for example according to the documents WO 93/14021 , GB 2,253,387 , JP 4-19447 , or JP 2001-072 147 .
  • Some other devices have an orifice in the outer casing, which is closed by the operator's finger, for example according to the documents US 2,777,612 or JP 1995-008242 .
  • WO 2004/028924 discloses a device having an orifice closed by the finger of the operator, and having the particularity of being completely empty.
  • the document DE 921078C describes a device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • All these devices can be polluted by liquid or powdery products penetrating into the outer casing.
  • the orifice is large enough to allow sand or grains to pass, for example, and is always accessible from the outside, even if it has a valve.
  • the valve is an insert, its installation is delicate, and its mechanical strength may be deficient.
  • the devices with an orifice closed by the finger of the operator impose a precise location of the orifice and the finger of the operator at the time of use of the device. Finally, this orifice is unsightly and is perceived as a zone of vulnerability of the device.
  • One of the aims of the invention is to provide a viscous product conditioning device, remedying at least one of these disadvantages, avoiding pollution in the outer casing and the introduction of an attached valve.
  • the orifices of said series are regularly distributed within said annular zone of the outer envelope covered by said skirt.
  • the orifices of said series are grouped in a limited region of said annular zone.
  • the orifices of said series have a diameter of less than 0.1 mm.
  • said series comprises only one orifice.
  • step c) is performed by welding from the inside, the pocket and the outer casing.
  • step d) is performed by blowing.
  • steps d) to g) are performed in the order d), f), e), g).
  • step d) is not executed and the other subsequent steps are in the order f), e), g).
  • FIG. 1 On the Fig. 1 the outer casing 1 of the viscous product conditioning device is shown.
  • This casing 1 is of generally cylindrical shape with an open first end 2 comprising a shoulder 3 in the form of a truncated cone and a neck 4 adapted to receive a closure cap.
  • the casing 1 has a second open end.
  • the outer casing 1 comprises air intake orifices 7.
  • a flexible pocket 8 of generally cylindrical shape, having a closed first end 9 and a second open end 10.
  • the pocket 8 is inserted into the outer casing 1, with its closed first end 9 placed against the shoulder 3 of the outer casing 1, the second open end of the pocket 8 is located between the second end 5 of the outer casing 1.
  • outer casing 1 and the annular zone 6 which is entirely covered by the pocket 8, inside the outer casing 1.
  • This fastening line 11 is made for example by welding. Beyond the fastening line 11, between the fastening line 11 and its second open end 10, the pocket 8 constitutes a skirt 12, retained only by the fastening line 11, and which covers the annular zone 6.
  • the device is then ready to be filled.
  • this second end 5 is closed by pinching and sealing ( Fig. 3 ), according to a sealing strip 13, in the exemplary embodiment shown.
  • the packaging device can then be filled, for example by means of a cannula inserted in the first open end 2 of the outer casing 1. After filling, a closure cap is fixed on the neck 4 and the device is ready to use.
  • the skirt 12 then serves as an annular valve and closes all the orifices 7 of the annular zone 6.
  • the manual pressure on the outer casing 1 is transmitted to the pocket 8 which turns back by accompanying the viscous product towards the first open end 2 of the outer casing 1.
  • the operator releases the pressure on the outer casing 1 and closes the cap.
  • Manual pressure is analyzed as a manual pumping operation.
  • the outer casing elastically deformable, returns to its original shape because the skirt 12 does not oppose the entry of air through the orifices 7.
  • the skirt 12 opposes the air outlet through the orifices 7.
  • the increase in the volume of the pocket causes the closing of the orifices 7 by the skirt 12 and the stopping of the air inlet by the first end 2.
  • the orifices 7 may be very numerous and of very small diameter, preferably less than 0.1 mm.
  • the orifices 7 may be of circular or oblong shape, they may be constituted by simple or cross-shaped slits, they may be made by incomplete cutting of a pellet of the outer shell 1. The smaller the orifices, the greater the risk of pollution of the pocket is small, the more the vulnerability of the packaging device is reduced, and the more its appearance is aesthetic.
  • the orifices 7 may be regularly distributed over the entire annular zone 6 or grouped in a limited region of said zone. This arrangement of the orifices 7 in an annular zone 6 makes it possible to overcome two constraints existing in the devices prior to a single orifice to be closed by the finger of the operator: the constraint of positioning the orifice on the outer envelope and the positioning stress of the finger on the orifice.
  • the manual pressure on the outer casing can be exerted in any point indifferently.
  • One of the advantages of the invention is that the use of a portion of the pocket 8, in this case the skirt 12 as an annular valve, on the one hand allows for one. fixing operation of the pocket 8 in the outer casing 1 to have a valve, on the other hand exemption from having to implement a valve reported.
  • Another advantage of the invention is that it can choose the product content of the packaging device, regardless of its size. Indeed, the line of attachment 11 of the bag 8 to the outer casing 1 can be moved closer to the shoulder 3 to reduce the product content of the device, in order to deliver samples, for demonstrations or promotional sales by example.
  • the packaging device is then ready for use.
  • This second channel is particularly suitable in the case where the device is delivered empty, then filled with a product whose batch must be identified. This identification can be ensured, after the filling, during the closing operation of the second end 5 of the outer casing by pinching, by writing the batch number of the product on the sealing strip of the device.
  • the process continues with the succession of steps f), e) and g).
  • the filling of the bag by means of a cannula in the previous cases where the bag 8 has been pushed into the outer casing 1, requires the air out of the bag as filling .
  • the cannula must then be thin enough not to close the opening of the end 2.
  • its product supply channel is also thin, and the filling operation of the pocket is relatively long.
  • the filling operation can take place simultaneously with the step of pushing the bag into the envelope by the pressure of the product introduced.
  • the filling cannula can come into direct contact with the neck 4 of the outer casing without having to remove the air.
  • the flow rate and therefore the filling speed are maximized.
  • steps a) to c) are carried out under an aseptic atmosphere, immediate filling can provide sanitary safety. If the filling is not immediate, the opening of the first end 2 of the outer casing 1 can be closed by a lid, and the device can be delivered empty, then opened and filled under an aseptic atmosphere.
  • the device is delivered with the second end 5 of the outer casing 1, open.
  • the closure of the second end 5 of the outer casing is preferably provided by pinching and sealing. But this closure can also be provided by a shutter, cylindrical, inserted into the open end 5 and sealed, for example hot, or by gluing. Such a cylindrical shutter provides a stable base for the vertical holding of the device, regardless of the shape of the cap.
  • the bag 8 has a dual function: on the one hand it constitutes a deformable bag for containing the viscous product without contact with the air, on the other hand it also constitutes a skirt playing the role of annular valve to ensure the effectiveness of manual pumping on the viscous product conditioning device.
  • the first closed end 9 of the bag is cone-shaped, having the same opening angle as the truncated cone of the shoulder 3, which ensures the complete emptying of the device.
