Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a container for containing a liquid or pasty product, associated with a collection and distribution system without air intake, called "Airless", which container is rigid and comprises a flexible bag containing the product to be dispensed, and which is associated with the sampling system.
  • a first known technique for producing such containers is to obtain, by molding, a rigid bottle and a flexible bag, in a single operation or in several operations.
  • the document WO 2006/107403 shows a container for a product contained in a bag, the bag being pressurized by compression of the container.
  • the container is closed at the top by an upper rigid block which has a rigid skirt extending inside the pocket. During the distribution of the product, the bag is able to turn inside the skirt.
  • a second well-known technique consists in producing "airless” flasks with piston. But these are not compact, by the thickness necessary for the operation of the piston and require developing a new range of pot. Piston "Airless” can not be made for large diameter 200 ml pots, molding tolerances make it difficult to fit and seal over large diameters.
  • this consisted in seeking a compromise between the "Airfree” technique and the “Piston” technique, that is to say a container comprising both a flexible bag and a piston associated, for obtaining an “Airless” system, adapted to a large diameter container, according to the desired purpose.
  • the present invention also relates to the features which will emerge during the following description, which should be considered in isolation or in all their possible technical combinations.
  • the container 1 generally designated in the figures is intended to contain a liquid or pasty product 2. It is associated with a sampling and dispensing system 3 without air intake, which container 1 is rigid and comprises a flexible bag 4 containing the product to be dispensed 2, which is associated with the sampling system 3.
  • the sampling and dispensing system 3 is constituted by a metering chamber 5, in communication on the one hand with a reservoir 6 formed by the pocket 4, via a non-return valve 7, and on the other hand part with an external channel 8, made of elastically deformable material, or any other means of distribution of the product 2.
  • a pouch 4 thus formed can, adequately sized of course, adapt to any container, pot or tube, with a capacity of 10 ml to 2000 ml to make them “Airless” in association with a sampling system and Distribution 3 "Airless” which closes the top of the container, type pot or tube.
  • the flexible peripheral articulation zone 19 forming a corner fillet connected to the rigid bottom 18 on the one hand and to the flexible lower side wall 17 on the other hand, allows the wall to turn on itself. lower flexible side 17, during the upward movement piston, as mentioned above.
  • This hinge zone 19 makes it possible to initiate and facilitate the reversal of the flexible side wall 17 on itself and then to cause this reversal during the displacement of the rigid bottom 18 forming a piston upwards, until the moment when the fold formed by this reversal reaches the rigid upper side wall 9, thus blocking the displacement of this upturn and the rigid bottom 18.
  • the flexible lower side wall 17 is completely turned over and is raised upwards so as to cover the same height h1 as the rigid side wall 9.
  • the rigid bottom or piston 18 is then all at the top of the tank.
  • the leave may be straight or rounded.
  • the pouch 4 mid-rigid, half-flexible is obtained, in one piece, during a single molding operation, by injection of a plastic material.
  • the materials used for producing the bag may be of the LDPE "low density polyethylene” or EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) or TPE (Thermo Plastic Elastomer) or PU (Polyurethane) type type, having stiffness moduli very low ( ⁇ 300 MPa) associated with a very high fluidity (MFI fluidity> 50 gr / 10 min of material passing through a die calibrated under 2.16 kg of load and 190 ° C of temperature).
  • EVA Ethylene Vinyl Acetate
  • TPE Thermo Plastic Elastomer
  • PU Polyurethane
  • the injection will be under high speed and high pressure, with closed mold with very high or variable closing force.
