Description

L'invention concerne un ensemble comprenant un flacon remplissable de distribution d'un produit fluide et une source de produit destinée au remplissage dudit flacon.The invention relates to an assembly comprising a refillable bottle dispensing a fluid and a product source for filling said bottle.

De tels dispositifs sont connus des documents WO 2013 014626 , EP 1579924 , FR 2942208 , GB 2483087 ou US 2012205401 .Such devices are known documents WO 2013 014626 , EP 1579924 , FR 2942208 , GB 2483087 or US 2012205401 .

En particulier, le flacon remplissable permet la distribution d'un produit liquide, par exemple d'un produit cosmétique de soin, de maquillage ou de parfumage, ou d'un produit pharmaceutique.In particular, the refillable bottle allows the dispensing of a liquid product, for example a cosmetic care, makeup or perfume product, or a pharmaceutical product.

Le flacon remplissable comprend un réservoir de conditionnement du produit ainsi qu'un dispositif de distribution du produit conditionné qui est monté de façon étanche sur ledit réservoir. En particulier, le dispositif de distribution peut comprendre une pompe à actionnement manuel qui est alimentée en produit conditionné, ladite pompe étant agencée pour distribuer le produit sous pression, par exemple sous la forme d'un aérosol. En variante, le dispositif de distribution peut comprendre des moyens d'application du produit, par exemple sous la forme d'une bille.The refillable bottle comprises a product conditioning tank and a dispensing device of the packaged product which is sealingly mounted on said tank. In particular, the dispensing device may comprise a manually operated pump which is fed with conditioned product, said pump being arranged to distribute the product under pressure, for example in the form of an aerosol. Alternatively, the dispensing device may comprise means for applying the product, for example in the form of a ball.

Dans un exemple d'application, les flacons remplissables selon l'invention permettent la distribution d'échantillons de produit, notamment pour un volume de produit conditionné dans le réservoir qui est compris entre 1 et 10 ml. En particulier, les échantillons ainsi distribués peuvent permettre à un client de tester le produit, les flacons étant alors qualifiés de flacons testeurs d'échantillons. En variante, les flacons peuvent être dits « de sac » en ce qu'ils permettent de transporter facilement un volume réduit de produit, par opposition à des flacons de contenance supérieure qui sont en général lourds et encombrants car cossus.In an exemplary application, the refillable vials according to the invention allow the distribution of product samples, especially for a volume of packaged product in the reservoir which is between 1 and 10 ml. In particular, the samples thus distributed can allow a customer to test the product, the bottles then being called sample vials. Alternatively, the bottles can be called "bag" in that they can easily transport a reduced volume of product, as opposed to bottles of higher capacity which are usually heavy and bulky because affluent.

Dans ces applications, par exemple pour des raisons logistiques, de praticité ou encore environnementales de recyclage, il peut être souhaitable de pouvoir recharger le réservoir en produit à partir d'une source dudit produit. En effet, il est peu pratique pour un utilisateur d'effectuer le remplissage du réservoir à l'aide d'un petit entonnoir et peu écologique de jeter un flacon vide pour le remplacer par un plein constituant recharge.In these applications, for example for logistical, practical or environmental recycling reasons, it may be desirable to be able to recharge the reservoir product from a source of said product. Indeed, it is impractical for a user to fill the tank with a small funnel and unecological to discard an empty bottle to replace it with a full constituent refill.

Des flacons remplissables sont déjà proposés à la vente, dans lesquels le réservoir est équipé d'une soupape de remplissage dudit réservoir qui est agencée pour permettre la mise en communication d'une source de produit avec ledit réservoir en vue de son remplissage. En particulier, la soupape comprend un passage de communication entre la source et le réservoir, ledit passage étant équipé d'un clapet qui est mobile relativement audit passage entre une position de fermeture étanche et une position d'ouverture dudit passage.Refillable bottles are already offered for sale, in which the reservoir is equipped with a filling valve of said reservoir which is arranged to allow the communication of a source of product with said reservoir for filling. In particular, the valve comprises a communication passage between the source and the reservoir, said passage being equipped with a valve which is movable relative to said passage between a sealed position and an open position of said passage.

Pour effectuer le remplissage, l'art antérieur propose d'utiliser un flacon source comprenant une pompe de distribution, le clapet étant déplacé au moyen du gicleur de ladite pompe. En particulier, l'appui étanche du gicleur sur le clapet permet l'ouverture réversible dudit clapet ainsi que l'actionnement de la pompe pour injecter du produit source dans le réservoir au travers de la soupape.To perform the filling, the prior art proposes to use a source bottle comprising a dispensing pump, the valve being moved by means of the nozzle of said pump. In particular, the sealed support of the nozzle on the valve allows the reversible opening of said valve and the actuation of the pump for injecting the source product into the reservoir through the valve.

Toutefois, cette réalisation nécessite de retirer préalablement le bouton poussoir équipant le gicleur de la pompe du flacon source et d'actionner à plusieurs reprises ledit gicleur pour injecter un volume de produit suffisant, ce qui est difficile et peu intuitif pour l'utilisateur. En outre, une mauvaise remise en place du bouton poussoir sur le gicleur après remplissage est potentiellement néfaste au bon fonctionnement ultérieur du flacon source pour la distribution du produit qu'il contient. De plus, la remise en place occasionne immanquablement un actionnement de la pompe, donc la distribution non souhaitée d'au moins une dose de produit.However, this embodiment requires to previously remove the push button equipping the nozzle of the pump of the source bottle and to repeatedly actuate said nozzle to inject a sufficient volume of product, which is difficult and not very intuitive for the user. In addition, poor replacement of the push button on the nozzle after filling is potentially detrimental to the subsequent operation of the source bottle for the distribution of the product it contains. In addition, the replacement inevitably causes actuation of the pump, so the unwanted distribution of at least one dose of product.

Par ailleurs, cette réalisation pose des problèmes d'étanchéité lors du remplissage, notamment du fait de la difficulté à positionner correctement le gicleur en appui étanche sur le clapet en exerçant un effort suffisant pour provoquer conjointement l'ouverture du clapet et l'actionnement de la pompe, et ce d'autant plus que la pompe doit être actionnée à plusieurs reprises pour injecter un volume de produit suffisant.Furthermore, this embodiment poses sealing problems during filling, in particular because of the difficulty in properly positioning the nozzle in sealing engagement with the valve by exerting sufficient force to jointly cause the opening of the valve and the actuation of the valve. the pump, especially since the pump must be actuated several times to inject a sufficient volume of product.

L'invention vise à perfectionner l'art antérieur en proposant notamment un ensemble permettant le remplissage d'un flacon sur une source de produit avec une gestuelle particulièrement aisée et intuitive, tout en améliorant l'étanchéité du remplissage.The invention aims to improve the prior art by proposing in particular an assembly for filling a bottle on a product source with a gesture particularly easy and intuitive, while improving the sealing of the filling.

En relation avec les figures, on décrit ci-dessous un ensemble comprenant un flacon remplissable destiné à contenir un produit fluide en vue de sa distribution. Dans des exemples particuliers, le produit peut être liquide, notamment un produit cosmétique de soin, de maquillage ou de parfumage, ou un produit pharmaceutique.In connection with the figures, there is described below an assembly comprising a refillable bottle for containing a fluid for distribution. In particular examples, the product may be liquid, in particular a cosmetic care, make-up or perfume product, or a pharmaceutical product.

Le flacon remplissable comprend un corps 1 dans lequel un réservoir 2 de conditionnement du produit est formé. Selon une application particulière, le réservoir 2 peut avoir une contenance comprise entre 1 et 10 ml de sorte à permettre la distribution d'échantillons de produit.The refillable bottle comprises a body 1 in which a container 2 for packaging the product is formed. According to a particular application, the tank 2 may have a capacity of between 1 and 10 ml so as to allow the distribution of product samples.

Selon une réalisation, le corps 1 est rigide, notamment en présentant une rigidité suffisante pour que le volume du réservoir 2 demeure sensiblement constant, même si la pression interne varie. Le corps 1 peut être monobloc, par exemple réalisé par injection-soufflage ou extrusion-soufflage, ou en plusieurs parties injectées puis assemblées, par exemple par soudure ultra-sons, ou par laser, ou par friction rotative, en matière plastique rigide, en métal, par exemple en aluminium, ou en verre.According to one embodiment, the body 1 is rigid, in particular by having sufficient rigidity so that the volume of the reservoir 2 remains substantially constant, even if the internal pressure varies. The body 1 can be monobloc, for example by injection blow molding or extrusion blow molding, or in several injected parts then assembled, for example by ultrasonic welding, or by laser, or rotary friction, rigid plastic material, metal, for example aluminum, or glass.

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, le corps 1 présente une base tubulaire 3 qui s'étend entre un fond 4 et une ouverture supérieure 5, le réservoir 2 étant formé à l'intérieur de ladite base. De façon avantageuse, la base tubulaire 3 peut être recouverte d'un habillage visant à parfaire l'esthétique du flacon remplissable.In the embodiment shown, the body 1 has a tubular base 3 which extends between a bottom 4 and an upper opening 5, the tank 2 being formed inside said base. Advantageously, the tubular base 3 may be covered with a covering intended to perfect the aesthetics of the refillable bottle.

Le corps 1 comprend un couvercle 6 présentant une jupe annulaire inférieure 7 qui est disposée dans l'ouverture supérieure 5 en étant associée à elle de façon étanche, par exemple par soudure, notamment par friction rotative. Le couvercle 6 présente également un col supérieur 8 dans lequel est formée une ouverture 9 d'accès à l'intérieur du réservoir remplissable 2.The body 1 comprises a cover 6 having a lower annular skirt 7 which is disposed in the upper opening 5 being associated with it sealingly, for example by welding, in particular by rotary friction. The lid 6 also has an upper neck 8 in which an opening 9 is formed inside the refillable reservoir 2.

Le flacon remplissable comprend un dispositif 10 de distribution du produit conditionné qui est monté de façon étanche sur le réservoir 2. Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, le dispositif de distribution comprend une pompe 10 qui est fixée dans l'ouverture 9 du col 8 en permettant l'alimentation de ladite pompe en produit conditionné. En particulier, la pompe 10 est actionnée manuellement au moyen d'un bouton poussoir 11, ladite pompe étant alimentée en produit par l'intermédiaire d'un tube plongeur 12 qui est disposé dans le réservoir 2.The refillable bottle comprises a device 10 for distributing the packaged product which is sealingly mounted on the tank 2. In the embodiment shown, the dispensing device comprises a pump 10 which is fixed in the opening 9 of the neck 8 in allowing said pump to be supplied with conditioned product. In particular, the pump 10 is operated manually by means of a push button 11, said pump being supplied with product via a dip tube 12 which is arranged in the tank 2.

Toutefois, l'invention n'est pas limitée à un mode de distribution du produit. En particulier, d'autres types de moyens de prélèvement du produit dans le réservoir 2 peuvent être envisagés. Le dispositif 10 de distribution peut également comprendre des moyens d'application du produit, par exemple sous la forme d'une bille.However, the invention is not limited to a method of dispensing the product. In particular, other types of means for taking the product from the tank 2 can be envisaged. The dispensing device 10 may also comprise means for applying the product, for example in the form of a ball.

Le bouton poussoir 11 comprend un orifice de distribution 13 et une zone supérieure permettant à l'utilisateur d'exercer un appui digital sur lui afin de déplacer le gicleur de la pompe 10 sur sa course d'alimentation dudit orifice en produit sous pression. Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, le bouton poussoir 11 est équipé d'une buse de pulvérisation qui est agencée pour distribuer radialement un aérosol du produit au travers de l'orifice de distribution 13. Toutefois, notamment pour un embout nasal de pulvérisation, le bouton poussoir 11 peut permettre une distribution axiale du produit. En variante, le produit peut être distribué sous la forme d'une noisette ou d'une nappe.The push button 11 comprises a dispensing orifice 13 and an upper zone allowing the user to exert a digital support on him in order to move the nozzle of the pump 10 on its supply stroke of said orifice produced under pressure. In the embodiment shown, the push button 11 is equipped with a spray nozzle which is arranged to radially distribute an aerosol of the product through the dispensing orifice 13. However, especially for a nasal spraying nozzle, the push button 11 may allow axial distribution of the product. Alternatively, the product can be dispensed in the form of a hazelnut or a web.

Le flacon est équipé d'une soupape 14 de remplissage du réservoir 2 qui est agencée pour permettre la mise en communication d'une source 15 de produit avec ledit réservoir en vue de son remplissage. En relation avec les figures, la soupape 14 comprend un passage 16 de communication avec le réservoir remplissable 2, ledit passage étant équipé d'un clapet 17 d'ouverture / fermeture dudit passage. En particulier, le passage 16 est formé dans le fond 4 du corps 1 de sorte notamment à remplir le réservoir 2 par ledit fond, ce qui correspond à un geste intuitif.The bottle is equipped with a valve 14 for filling the reservoir 2 which is arranged to allow the communication of a source 15 of product with said reservoir for filling. In connection with the figures, the valve 14 comprises a passage 16 for communication with the refillable reservoir 2, said passage being equipped with a valve 17 for opening / closing said passage. In particular, the passage 16 is formed in the bottom 4 of the body 1 so in particular to fill the reservoir 2 by said bottom, which corresponds to an intuitive gesture.

L'ensemble comprend également la source 15 de produit qui est destinée au remplissage du flacon remplissable, ladite source comprenant un réservoir 18 de conditionnement dudit produit qui est pourvu d'une ouverture 19 dans laquelle un dispositif 20 de distribution du produit conditionné est monté.The assembly also comprises the product source 15 which is intended for filling the refillable bottle, said source comprising a container 18 for packaging said product which is provided with an opening 19 in which a device 20 for distributing the packaged product is mounted.

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, la source 15 de produit est sous la forme d'un flacon dont le réservoir 18 est surmonté d'un col 21 dans lequel une pompe 20 de distribution est montée pour être alimentée en produit conditionné. Ainsi, outre sa fonction de remplissage, par actionnement manuel du bouton poussoir 22 de la pompe 20, la source 15 peut être utilisée en tant que flacon de distribution du produit contenu dans le réservoir source 18, notamment sous la forme d'un aérosol, d'une noisette ou d'une nappe du produit.In the embodiment shown, the product source 15 is in the form of a bottle whose reservoir 18 is surmounted by a neck 21 in which a dispensing pump 20 is mounted to be fed with conditioned product. Thus, in addition to its filling function, by manual actuation of the pushbutton 22 of the pump 20, the source 15 can be used as a dispensing bottle of the product contained in the source reservoir 18, in particular in the form of an aerosol, a hazelnut or a slick of the product.

L'ouverture 19 de la source 15 est équipée d'une douille 23 qui est montée dans le col 21, ladite douille étant agencée pour permettre la connexion réversible du dispositif 20 de distribution en mettant en communication étanche des moyens d'alimentation dudit dispositif avec le réservoir source 18. En outre, la douille 23 est agencée pour, après déconnexion du dispositif 20 de distribution, permettre la connexion du flacon remplissable en actionnant l'ouverture de la soupape 14 afin de mettre en communication étanche les réservoirs 2, 18 en vue du remplissage.The opening 19 of the source 15 is equipped with a bushing 23 which is mounted in the neck 21, said bushing being arranged to allow the reversible connection of the distribution device 20 by putting in sealed communication supply means of said device with the source reservoir 18. In addition, the sleeve 23 is arranged to, after disconnection of the dispensing device 20, allow the connection of the refillable bottle by actuating the opening of the valve 14 in order to implement communication tight tanks 2, 18 for filling.

Ainsi, par une gestuelle simple de connexion / déconnexion du dispositif 20 de distribution - respectivement du flacon remplissable - on réalise la distribution du produit contenu dans le réservoir source 18 sans risque de détérioration dudit dispositif de distribution - respectivement le remplissage du réservoir remplissable 2 en garantissant une étanchéité satisfaisante lors du transfert de produit depuis le réservoir source 18 dans le réservoir remplissable 2.Thus, by a simple gesture of connection / disconnection of the dispensing device 20 - respectively refillable bottle - is carried out the distribution of the product contained in the source reservoir 18 without risk of deterioration of said dispensing device - respectively the filling of the refillable reservoir 2 in guaranteeing a satisfactory seal during the transfer of product from the source reservoir 18 into the refillable reservoir 2.

En particulier, le réservoir remplissable 2 peut présenter une dépression d'air qui est agencée pour, par connexion du flacon remplissable, induire le remplissage dudit réservoir par aspiration du produit conditionné dans le réservoir source 18. Pour ce faire, on peut prévoir un flacon remplissable dont le dispositif 10 de distribution fonctionne sans reprise d'air dans le réservoir 2 en compensation du volume de produit distribué. En particulier, la pompe 10 peut être dépourvue de trou d'évent ou comprendre un trou d'évent qui est occulté ou disposé de sorte à ne pas assurer sa fonction de reprise d'air.In particular, the refillable reservoir 2 may have an air vacuum which is arranged for, by connecting the refillable bottle, induce the filling of said reservoir by suction of the packaged product in the source reservoir 18. To do this, one can provide a bottle fillable whose dispensing device 10 operates without air intake in the tank 2 in compensation for the volume of product dispensed. In particular, the pump 10 may be devoid of a vent hole or comprise a vent hole which is obscured or arranged so as not to perform its air intake function.

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, la douille 23 de connexion présente un orifice 24 de communication qui débouche dans le réservoir source 18, ledit orifice étant équipé d'un tube plongeur 25 qui s'étend à l'intérieur du réservoir source 18. En particulier, la pompe 20 du flacon source peut alors être dépourvue de tube plongeur, ce qui facilite grandement son retrait pour pouvoir connecter le flacon remplissable.In the embodiment shown, the connecting sleeve 23 has a communication orifice 24 which opens into the source reservoir 18, said orifice being equipped with a dip tube 25 which extends inside the source reservoir 18. In particular, the pump 20 of the source bottle may then be devoid of a dip tube, which greatly facilitates its removal in order to connect the refillable bottle.

L'orifice 24 de communication est surmonté d'un siège 26 sur lequel les moyens d'alimentation du dispositif 20 de distribution - respectivement la soupape 14 de remplissage - sont destinés à venir en appui étanche lors de la connexion dudit dispositif de distribution - respectivement du flacon remplissable. Ainsi, par simple appui axial du dispositif 20 de distribution - respectivement du flacon de distribution - sur le siège 26, on met en communication les moyens d'alimentation - respectivement la soupape 14 - avec le réservoir source 18.The communication orifice 24 is surmounted by a seat 26 on which the supply means of the dispensing device 20 - respectively the filling valve 14 - are intended to bear tightly during the connection of said dispensing device - respectively of the bottle fillable. Thus, by simple axial support of the dispensing device 20 - respectively the dispensing bottle - on the seat 26, the supply means - respectively the valve 14 - are put in communication with the source reservoir 18.

Pour faciliter la connexion, la douille 23 présente un logement supérieur 27 dans lequel les moyens d'alimentation - respectivement la soupape 14 de remplissage - sont destinés à être reçu de façon réversible lors de la connexion du dispositif 20 de distribution - respectivement du flacon remplissable. En particulier, le logement 27 assure un guidage axial du dispositif 20 de distribution et du flacon remplissable lors de leur coulissement respectif, facilitant ainsi leur bon positionnement sur le siège 26 pour fiabiliser l'étanchéité de la connexion par appui axial.To facilitate the connection, the bushing 23 has an upper housing 27 in which the supply means - respectively the filling valve 14 - are intended to be reversibly received during connection of the dispensing device 20 - respectively the refillable bottle . In particular, the housing 27 provides axial guidance of the dispensing device 20 and the refillable bottle during their respective sliding, thus facilitating their good positioning on the seat 26 to make reliable the sealing of the connection by axial support.

Pour améliorer ce guidage, le logement 27 est équipé d'un orifice 28 d'égalisation de la pression entre ledit logement et le réservoir source 18. Ainsi, on peut bénéficier d'un logement 27 présentant une dimension intérieure qui est analogue à la dimension extérieure sur laquelle le flacon de remplissage et le dispositif 20 de distribution sont guidés, et ce sans risquer un effet piston dans ledit logement lors de la connexion / déconnexion.To improve this guidance, the housing 27 is equipped with a pressure equalization orifice 28 between said housing and the source reservoir 18. Thus, one can benefit from a housing 27 having an internal dimension which is similar to the dimension outside on which the filling bottle and the dispensing device 20 are guided, and without risking a piston effect in said housing during the connection / disconnection.

De façon avantageuse, le siège 26 est équipé d'un joint 29 d'étanchéité sur lequel l'appui étanche est réalisé, ledit joint présentant une géométrie annulaire dans laquelle débouche l'orifice 24 de communication, ladite géométrie présentant des surfaces inférieure et supérieure qui sont planes pour favoriser l'étanchéité axiale par appui.Advantageously, the seat 26 is equipped with a sealing gasket 29 on which the sealing support is made, said gasket having an annular geometry in which the communication orifice 24 opens, said geometry having lower and upper surfaces. which are planes to promote axial sealing by support.

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, la douille 23 de connexion présente un godet 30 qui s'étend entre le siège 26 et l'orifice 24 de communication, ledit godet étant relié à la paroi périphérique de la douille 23 par l'intermédiaire d'une portée 31 sur laquelle ledit siège est formé, l'orifice 28 d'égalisation de pression étant également formé au travers de ladite portée. En particulier, le godet 30 et le siège 26 délimitent inférieurement le logement 27 de la douille 23, empêchant ainsi, lorsque ledit logement est vide entre deux connexions, sensiblement tout accès au réservoir source 18 par l'intermédiaire de l'ouverture 19.In the embodiment shown, the connecting sleeve 23 has a cup 30 which extends between the seat 26 and the communication orifice 24, said cup being connected to the peripheral wall of the bushing 23 via a seat 31 on which said seat is formed, the pressure equalization port 28 being also formed through said seat. In particular, the bucket 30 and the seat 26 delimit the housing 27 of the bushing 23, preventing thus, when said housing is empty between two connections, substantially all access to the source reservoir 18 via the opening 19.

Le dispositif 20 de distribution comprend un embout inférieur 32 qui est équipé d'un conduit d'alimentation, ledit embout est destiné, lors de la connexion dudit dispositif, à être disposé dans le godet 30 en présentant une étanchéité périphérique dans ledit siège. En particulier, l'embout 32 présente une portée supérieure 33 qui est tronconique divergente pour être contrainte dans le joint afin de fiabiliser par serrage radial l'étanchéité conférée.The dispensing device 20 comprises a lower nozzle 32 which is equipped with a supply duct, said nozzle is intended, during the connection of said device, to be disposed in the bucket 30 having a peripheral seal in said seat. In particular, the tip 32 has an upper surface 33 which is frustoconical divergent to be constrained in the seal in order to reliably secure the conferred sealing by radial clamping.

En relation avec la figure 1, la douille 23 est montée dans le col 21 lors de la première connexion de la pompe 20 lors de sa fixation sur le flacon source. Pour ce faire, la pompe 20 est montée dans le logement 27 dans une position axiale intermédiaire dans laquelle la portée 33 est posée sur le joint 29, l'ensemble pompe 20 / douille 23 étant introduit par coulissement axial dans l'ouverture 19 du col 21.In relation to the figure 1 , the sleeve 23 is mounted in the neck 21 during the first connection of the pump 20 when it is attached to the source bottle. To do this, the pump 20 is mounted in the housing 27 in an intermediate axial position in which the bearing surface 33 is placed on the seal 29, the pump assembly 20 / sleeve 23 being introduced by axial sliding in the opening 19 of the neck 21.

Ensuite, le dispositif 20 de distribution est connecté dans la douille 23 par fixation réversible sur le col 21 (figure 2). Pour ce faire, le dispositif 20 de distribution comprend un manchon 34 pourvu de moyens de fixation autour du col 21 et une frette 35 montée autour dudit manchon par l'intermédiaire d'un dispositif de déplacement réversible entre une position haute dans laquelle les moyens de fixation sont libres de sorte à permettre le positionnement dudit manchon autour dudit col et une position basse dans laquelle lesdits moyens de fixation sont contraints sur ledit col pour assurer la fixation étanche dudit manchon sur ledit col.Then, the dispensing device 20 is connected in the bushing 23 by reversible attachment to the neck 21 ( figure 2 ). To do this, the dispensing device 20 comprises a sleeve 34 provided with fixing means around the neck 21 and a collar 35 mounted around said sleeve via a reversible displacement device between a high position in which the means of fixing are free so as to allow the positioning of said sleeve around said neck and a low position in which said fixing means are constrained on said neck to ensure the sealing of said sleeve on said neck.

Le mode de réalisation représenté est analogue à celui décrit dans le document FR-2 948 64 dans lequel notamment : les moyens de fixation comprennent des griffes 36 qui sont rabattables sous le col 21 par coulissement de la frette 35 et le dispositif de déplacement est actionné par rotation relative de la frette 35 par rapport au manchon 34 en prévoyant que ledit manchon présente des glissières 37 dans lesquelles des saillies 38 de la frette 35 sont engagées pour transformer le mouvement de rotation en translation relative. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, la fixation de la pompe 20 peut être réalisée par un manchon à visser sur le col à vis de la source.The embodiment shown is similar to that described in the document FR-2 948 64 wherein in particular: the fixing means comprise claws 36 which are foldable under the neck 21 by sliding of the hoop 35 and the displacement device is actuated by relative rotation of the hoop 35 relative to the sleeve 34 by providing that said sleeve has slides 37 in which projections 38 of the hoop 35 are engaged for transform the rotation movement into relative translation. In another embodiment, the fixing of the pump 20 can be carried out by a sleeve to be screwed onto the neck screw of the source.

De façon avantageuse, la fixation de la pompe 20 sur le col 21 induit un déplacement axial de ladite pompe dans le logement 27, ledit déplacement étant agencé pour assurer un appui étanche entre la portée 33 et le joint 29. En particulier, la douille 23 de connexion est équipée de moyens de retenue qui coopèrent géométriquement avec le col 21, lesdits moyens étant agencés pour retenir la douille 23 lors de la déconnexion et/ou de la connexion du dispositif 20 de distribution - respectivement de la soupape 14 de remplissage.Advantageously, the fixing of the pump 20 on the neck 21 induces an axial displacement of said pump in the housing 27, said displacement being arranged to provide a sealing support between the bearing surface 33 and the seal 29. In particular, the bushing 23 connection is provided with retaining means which cooperate geometrically with the neck 21, said means being arranged to retain the sleeve 23 during the disconnection and / or the connection of the dispensing device 20 - respectively of the filling valve 14.

Les moyens de retenue permettent notamment le montage de la douille 23 dans le col 21 par coulissement vers le bas mais, une fois ladite douille montée, limitent les possibilités d'extraction - respectivement d'enfoncement - de la douille 23 dans le col 21. Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, la douille 23 de connexion comprend des pattes rétractables 39 qui sont engagées sous le col 21 et une collerette supérieure 40 qui est disposée sur le buvant dudit col. Ainsi, la collerette 40 assure la mise en butée axiale de la douille 23 dans le col 21 afin de garantir la course d'appui étanche lors de la connexion, les pattes 39 retenant ladite douille dans le col 21 lors de la déconnexion.The retaining means allow in particular the mounting of the sleeve 23 in the neck 21 by sliding downwards but, once said socket mounted, limit the possibilities of extraction - respectively depression - of the sleeve 23 in the neck 21. In the embodiment shown, the connecting sleeve 23 comprises retractable tabs 39 which are engaged under the neck 21 and an upper flange 40 which is disposed on the rim of said neck. Thus, the flange 40 ensures the axial abutment of the sleeve 23 in the neck 21 to ensure the sealing bearing stroke during connection, the tabs 39 retaining said sleeve in the neck 21 during disconnection.

Selon une réalisation, la douille 23 est montée flottante dans le col 21 sur une course axiale qui est délimitée par la collerette 40 et les pattes 39. En particulier, la paroi périphérique de la douille 23 dans laquelle le logement 27 est formé présente une dimension extérieure légèrement inférieure à la dimension intérieure du col 21, ladite paroi étant surmontée par la collerette 40 et les pattes 39 s'étendant sous ladite paroi en entourant le godet 30.According to one embodiment, the sleeve 23 is mounted floating in the neck 21 on an axial stroke which is delimited by the flange 40 and the tabs 39. In particular, the peripheral wall of the sleeve 23 in which the housing 27 is formed has a dimension slightly smaller than the inner dimension of the neck 21, said wall being surmounted by the flange 40 and the lugs 39 extending under said wall by surrounding the bucket 30.

Le dispositif 20 de distribution peut comprendre une portée d'étanchéité qui vient en appui sur la douille 23 de connexion et/ou sur le col 21 lorsque ledit dispositif est fixé sur ledit col, notamment pour étanchéifier l'interface entre la paroi périphérique de ladite douille et ledit col. Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, le manchon 34 est équipé d'un joint d'étanchéité 41 qui est disposé en appui axial sur la collerette 40 et sur le buvant du col 21 pour assurer l'étanchéité de la fixation de la pompe 20 sur ledit col.The dispensing device 20 may comprise a sealing surface that bears on the connecting sleeve 23 and / or on the neck 21 when said device is fixed on said neck, in particular for sealing the interface between the peripheral wall of said socket and said neck. In the embodiment shown, the sleeve 34 is equipped with a seal 41 which is disposed axially on the flange 40 and on the rim of the neck 21 to seal the attachment of the pump 20 on said neck.

En relation avec les figures 4 à 6, la soupape 14 de remplissage comprend une tige 42 d'ouverture réversible de la communication au travers de ladite soupape, ladite tige étant actionnable par appui étanche d'une portée 43 de ladite tige sur le siège 26 lors de la connexion du flacon remplissable.In relation to Figures 4 to 6 , the filling valve 14 comprises a rod 42 reversibly opening the communication through said valve, said rod being operable by sealing a seat 43 of said rod on the seat 26 when connecting the refillable bottle.

La tige 42 est pourvue d'un canal interne 44 qui s'étend entre un orifice amont 45 destiné à être en communication étanche avec le réservoir source 18 lors de la connexion du flacon remplissable et un orifice aval 46, ladite tige étant actionnable entre une position stable de fermeture de l'orifice aval 46 et une position contrainte de mise en communication dudit orifice aval avec le réservoir source 18.The rod 42 is provided with an internal channel 44 which extends between an upstream orifice 45 intended to be in sealed communication with the source reservoir 18 during the connection of the refillable bottle and a downstream orifice 46, said rod being operable between a stable position of closure of the downstream orifice 46 and a constrained position of communication of said downstream orifice with the source reservoir 18.

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, le passage 16 du réservoir remplissable 2 débouche à l'intérieur d'une cage 47 formée sous le fond 4 dudit réservoir, la tige 42 étant montée en translation axiale contrainte à l'intérieur d'une bague 48 qui est fixée de façon étanche dans ladite cage. En particulier, un ressort 49 de compression est disposé entre deux épaulements radiaux 50a, 50b respectivement de la tige 42 et de la bague 48, un joint d'étanchéité 51 étant disposé autour du passage 26 entre le fond 4 et l'épaulement 50b de la bague 48.In the embodiment shown, the passage 16 of the refillable reservoir 2 opens into a cage 47 formed under the bottom 4 of said reservoir, the rod 42 being mounted in axial translation constraint inside a ring 48 which is sealed in said cage. In particular, a compression spring 49 is disposed between two radial shoulders 50a, 50b respectively of the rod 42 and the ring 48, a seal 51 being disposed around the passage 26 between the bottom 4 and the shoulder 50b of the ring 48.

La tige 42 présente le clapet 17 de fermeture étanche de la communication entre le passage 16 et l'orifice aval 46 lorsque ladite tige est en position stable. Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, le clapet 17 est formé sur l'extrémité supérieure de la tige 42 qui est montée dans le passage 16, des orifices aval 46 étant formés sous ledit clapet pour être disposés dans le passage 16 lorsque la tige 42 est relevée axialement en position contrainte de mise en communication.The rod 42 has the flap 17 for sealing the communication between the passage 16 and the downstream orifice 46 when said rod is in a stable position. In the embodiment shown, the valve 17 is formed on the upper end of the rod 42 which is mounted in the passage 16, downstream orifices 46 being formed under said valve to be arranged in the passage 16 when the rod 42 is raised axially in the constrained position of communication.

De façon avantageuse, l'orifice amont 45 est séparé de la portée d'appui 43 par une portion 52 de tige 42 qui est équipée d'une structure d'évent 53, ladite structure étant localisée afin que la portée 43 puisse être en communication étanche avec le réservoir source 18 lors de la connexion du flacon remplissable par appui et pour empêcher la mise en communication étanche de l'orifice amont 45 avec le réservoir source 18 par appui sur ladite portion. Ainsi, on limite la possibilité de remplissage du flacon sur une source 15 dont le siège 26 est adapté à conférer l'appui étanche uniquement sur la portée 43 prévue à cet effet sur la tige 42.Advantageously, the upstream orifice 45 is separated from the bearing surface 43 by a portion 52 of rod 42 which is equipped with a vent structure 53, said structure being located so that the span 43 can be in communication sealed with the source reservoir 18 when the refillable bottle is connected by pressing and to prevent the sealed communication of the upstream orifice 45 with the source reservoir 18 by pressing on said portion. Thus, it limits the possibility of filling the bottle on a source 15 whose seat 26 is adapted to confer the sealing support only on the bearing surface 43 provided for this purpose on the rod 42.

En particulier, on peut interdire le remplissage du flacon sur le gicleur de la pompe d'un flacon source en prévoyant que l'orifice amont 45 débouche axialement sous une portion inférieure 52 de la tige 42, ladite portion présentant au moins une ouverture latérale d'évent 53 qui est localisée pour maintenir ouvert le canal interne 44 en cas d'appui axial étanche autour dudit orifice amont.In particular, it is possible to prohibit the filling of the bottle on the nozzle of the pump of a source bottle by providing that the upstream orifice 45 opens axially under a lower portion 52 of the rod 42, said portion having at least one lateral opening of vent 53 which is located to maintain open the inner channel 44 in case of tight axial support around said upstream orifice.

En relation avec les figures, la tige 42 présente une portée inférieure 43 qui est tronconique divergente pour conférer un appui étanche à l'intérieur du joint 29, l'orifice amont 45 étant entouré par au moins une ouverture latérale d'évent 53 qui débouche dans le canal interne 44 et sous ladite portée tronconique. Ainsi, seule la course axiale d'enfoncement de la portée 43 dans le joint 29 pour conférer le serrage radial étanche permet de disposer les ouvertures 53 en communication étanche avec le réservoir source 18 pour induire le remplissage. A défaut, le canal interne 44 est en communication avec l'air par l'intermédiaire des ouvertures 53, interdisant tout remplissage, notamment par aspiration.In relation to the figures, the rod 42 has a lower bearing surface 43 which is frustoconical divergent in order to provide a sealing support inside the seal 29, the upstream orifice 45 being surrounded by at least one lateral vent opening 53 which opens in the inner channel 44 and under said frustoconical bearing surface. Thus, only the axial stroke of depression of the bearing surface 43 in the seal 29 to provide the tight radial clamping makes it possible to arrange the openings 53 in sealed communication with the source reservoir 18 to induce the filling. Otherwise, the inner channel 44 is in communication with the air through the openings 53, prohibiting any filling, especially by suction.

Par ailleurs, la douille 23 peut présenter une structure d'évent 54 interdisant l'étanchéité d'un quelconque dispositif visant à soutirer le produit de la source 15, autre que le dispositif 20 agencé pour être connecté dans ladite douille. En relation avec la figure 3, la structure d'évent 54 présente au moins un passage formé dans la collerette pour empêcher le montage étanche d'un dispositif à l'intérieur de ladite collerette.Furthermore, the sleeve 23 may have a vent structure 54 preventing the sealing of any device for withdrawing the product from the source 15, other than the device 20 arranged to be connected in said socket. In relation to the figure 3 , the vent structure 54 has at least one passage formed in the flange to prevent tight fitting of a device within said flange.
