Les documents US2008034628A1 , US2004004829A1 , US2014138274A1 et US6020823A divulguent les conditionnements de l'état de la technique.Known packages of this type are used to highlight a bottle filled with a transparent liquid due to a visual effect produced by the propagation of the light beam in the transparent liquid. The documents US2008034628A1 , US2004004829A1 , US2014138274A1 and US6020823A disclose the packaging of the state of the art.

Toutefois, les conditionnements connus ne permettent pas de moduler l'effet visuel produit.However, the known packagings do not make it possible to modulate the visual effect produced.

L'invention vise à pallier ce problème.The invention aims to overcome this problem.

A cet effet, l'invention qui est définie dans la revendication 1, propose un conditionnement du type précité comprenant en outre un film de revêtement recouvrant au moins une partie d'une surface extérieure d'une paroi latérale de la bouteille, le film de revêtement comportant au moins localement un décor adapté pour être rétroéclairé par le faisceau lumineux se propageant dans le liquide, le décor comportant une pluralité de zones de décor, chaque zone de décor présentant un taux d'éclairement défini par un rapport d'une quantité de lumière mesurée à une distance de mesure du système d'éclairage au travers de la zone de décor sur une quantité de lumière mesurée directement à la distance de mesure du système d'éclairage, la pluralité de zones de décor comprenant au moins une première zone de contraste et au moins une deuxième zone de contraste, la première zone de contraste ayant un taux d'éclairement au moins 15 %, notamment au moins 30 %, de préférence au moins 40 %, par exemple au moins 50 %, inférieur au taux d'éclairement de la deuxième zone de contraste.To this end, the invention which is defined in claim 1, proposes packaging of the aforementioned type further comprising a coating film covering at least part of an outer surface of a side wall of the bottle, the coating comprising at least locally a decoration adapted to be backlit by the light beam propagating in the liquid, the decoration comprising a plurality of decoration zones, each decoration zone having an illumination rate defined by a ratio of a quantity of light measured at a measurement distance from the lighting system through the scenery zone over a quantity of light measured directly at the measurement distance from the lighting system, the plurality of scenery zones comprising at least a first contrast and at least one second contrast zone, the first contrast zone having an illumination rate of at least 15%, in particular at least 30%, preferably at least 40%, for example at m less than 50%, lower than the level of illumination of the second contrast zone.

Ainsi, l'invention prévoit une interaction entre le faisceau lumineux, le liquide, le décor du film de revêtement et, éventuellement, la bouteille pour produire un effet visuel. Il est alors possible de moduler l'effet visuel en jouant sur un agencement des première et deuxième zones de contraste et, le cas échéant, sur un niveau de remplissage de la bouteille.Thus, the invention provides for an interaction between the light beam, the liquid, the decoration of the coating film and, possibly, the bottle to produce a visual effect. It is then possible to modulate the visual effect by playing on an arrangement of the first and second contrast zones and, if necessary, on a filling level of the bottle.

La première zone de contraste peut être une zone de décor opaque et la deuxième zone de contraste peut être une zone de décor transparente, les zones de décor opaque et transparente ayant une différence de taux d'éclairement d'au moins 15 %, notamment d'au moins 30 %, de préférence d'au moins 40 %, par exemple d'au moins 50 %.The first contrast zone can be an opaque decoration zone and the second contrast zone can be a transparent decoration zone, the opaque and transparent decoration zones having a difference in illumination rate of at least 15%, in particular d at least 30%, preferably at least 40%, for example at least 50%.

In particular, the coating film may include a transparent portion forming said at least one window.

The side wall of the bottle comprises at least one transverse wall portion inclined with respect to the central axis, the window then being able to be provided on the transverse wall portion. The visual effect can then result from the interaction of the light beam, the liquid and the decor of the coating film with the shape of the bottle.

Au moins l'une des premières zones de contraste peut être une zone de décor occultant présentant un taux d'éclairement inférieur à 10 %, de préférence inférieur à 5 %. La zone de décor occultant peut avoir une épaisseur inférieure à 10 µm, de préférence inférieure à 5 µm, notamment inférieure à 3 µm. Par exemple, la zone de décor occultant peut comprendre une couche d'encre métallique.At least one of the first contrast zones can be a blackout decoration zone having an illumination rate of less than 10%, preferably less than 5%. The blackout decoration zone may have a thickness of less than 10 μm, preferably less than 5 μm, in particular less than 3 μm.

En particulier, le film de revêtement peut présenter une surface intérieure en contact avec la surface extérieure de la paroi latérale de la bouteille, et une surface extérieure opposée à la surface intérieure, les premier et deuxième motifs étant réalisés l'un sur la surface intérieure du film de revêtement et l'autre sur la surface extérieure du film de revêtement.The decoration of the coating film may comprise first and second superimposed patterns, the coating film being adapted to present the first pattern when the decoration is not backlit by the light beam and to present the second pattern when the decoration is backlit by the light beam. In particular, the coating film may have an inner surface in contact with the outer surface of the side wall of the bottle, and an outer surface opposite the inner surface, the first and second patterns being made one on the inner surface coating film and the other on the outer surface of the coating film.

Le film de revêtement peut présenter un bord inférieur situé au niveau du fond de la bouteille et un bord supérieur situé au niveau du goulot de la bouteille de manière à recouvrir sensiblement la totalité de la surface extérieure de la paroi latérale de la bouteille.

Le support 17 peut être solidarisé à la surface extérieure du fond 3 de la bouteille, par exemple par l'intermédiaire d'une couche de matériau adhésif 18.Packaging 1 also comprises a lighting system 15 comprising an electric light source, such as one or more LEDs 16, suitable for emitting a light beam, and an autonomous electric power supply device, comprising for example a battery and a switch. The battery is connected to the LEDs 16 via the switch in order, in an active state, to supply the LEDs 16 with electrical energy so as to emit the light beam, and in an inactive state, not to supply the LEDs 16 in electrical energy so as not to emit the light beam. In the embodiment shown, the LEDs 16 and the power supply device are mounted on a flat support 17, for example circular, having a diameter smaller than the diameter of the bottom 3 of the bottle 2. The LEDs 16 are mounted on the same face of the support 17. The lighting system 15 is placed on the bottle 2 with the face on which the LEDs 16 are mounted against the outer surface of the bottom 3 so as to emit the light beam in a direction of parallel lighting to the central axis A of the bottle 2. The support 17 can be secured to the outer surface of the bottom 3 of the bottle, for example by means of a layer of adhesive material 18.

Le conditionnement 1 comprend également un film de revêtement 20 recouvrant la surface extérieure de la paroi latérale 4 de la bouteille 2. Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, le film de revêtement 20 présente un bord inférieur 21 situé au niveau du fond 3 de la bouteille 2 et un bord supérieur 22 situé au niveau du goulot 5 de la bouteille 2 de manière à recouvrir sensiblement la totalité de la surface extérieure de la paroi latérale 4 de la bouteille 2. En particulier, la bouteille 2 présente initialement un niveau de remplissage initial où s'étend un point bas d'un ménisque formé par une surface libre du liquide. Le bord supérieur 22 du film de revêtement 20 est alors affleurant au niveau de remplissage initial. En variante, seulement une partie de la surface extérieure de la paroi latérale 4 de la bouteille 2 pourrait être recouverte par le film de revêtement 20.The packaging 1 also comprises a coating film 20 covering the outer surface of the side wall 4 of the bottle 2. In the embodiment shown, the coating film 20 has a lower edge 21 located at the level of the bottom 3 of the bottle 2 and an upper edge 22 located at the level of the neck 5 of the bottle 2 so as to cover substantially the entire outer surface of the side wall 4 of the bottle 2. In particular, the bottle 2 initially has an initial filling level where extends a low point of a meniscus formed by a free surface of the liquid. The upper edge 22 of the coating film 20 is then flush with the initial filling level. Alternatively, only part of the outer surface of the side wall 4 of the bottle 2 could be covered by the coating film 20.

Le film de revêtement 20 comporte un décor présentant plusieurs zones de décor 25, 26. Chaque zone de décor 25, 26 présente un taux d'éclairement défini par un rapport d'une quantité de lumière mesurée à une distance de mesure D de la source lumineuse 16 au travers de la zone de décor sur une quantité de lumière mesurée directement à la distance de mesure de la source lumineuse 16. Le décor est constitué par un agencement particulier d'une ou plusieurs premières zones de contraste 25 et une ou plusieurs deuxièmes zones de contraste 26. Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, le film de revêtement comporte plusieurs deuxièmes zones de contrastes 26 sous la forme de flammes réparties et des premières zones de contraste 25. Les premières zones de contraste 25 ont un taux d'éclairement au moins 15 %, notamment au moins 30 %, de préférence au moins 40 %, par exemple au moins 50 %, inférieur au taux d'éclairement des deuxièmes zones de contraste 26.The coating film 20 comprises a decoration having several decorative zones 25, 26. Each decorative zone 25, 26 has an illumination rate defined by a ratio of a quantity of light measured to a measurement distance D from the source light 16 through the decoration zone on a quantity of light measured directly at the measurement distance from the light source 16. The decoration is constituted by a particular arrangement of one or more first contrast zones 25 and one or more second contrast zones 26. In the embodiment shown, the coating film comprises several second contrast zones 26 in the form of distributed flames and first contrast zones 25. The first contrast zones 25 have an illumination rate at least 15%, in particular at least 30%, preferably at least 40%, for example at least 50%, lower than the level of illumination of the second contrast zones 26.

Dans le mode de réalisation particulier représenté, les premières zones de contraste sont des zones de décor opaques 25 et les deuxièmes zones de contraste sont des zones de décor transparentes 26. Les zones de décor opaques 25 et transparentes 26 ont une différence de taux d'éclairement d'au moins 15 %, notamment d'au moins 30 %, de préférence d'au moins 40 %, par exemple d'au moins 50 %. En variante, les premières et deuxièmes zones de contraste pourraient être réalisées de toute manière appropriée permettant d'obtenir un contraste. Les premières et deuxièmes zones de contraste pourraient notamment être plus ou moins translucides, plus ou moins colorées, plus ou moins épaisses, etc.In the particular embodiment shown, the first contrast zones are opaque decoration zones 25 and the second contrast zones are transparent decoration zones 26. The opaque 25 and transparent 26 decoration zones have a difference in the rate of illumination of at least 15%, in particular at least 30%, preferably at least 40%, for example at least 50%. As a variant, the first and second contrast zones could be made in any suitable way allowing contrast to be obtained. The first and second contrast zones could in particular be more or less translucent, more or less colored, more or less thick, etc.

A titre d'exemple non limitatif, les figures 4 et 5 illustrent un dispositif expérimental 30 mis en œuvre pour mesurer un taux d'éclairement de différentes zones de décor. Un masque 31 recouvre la surface latérale 4' d'une bouteille 2' globalement cylindrique selon l'axe central A. Le masque 31 est essentiellement opaque à l'exception d'une ouverture 32, visible sur les figures 4 et 5, située à la distance de mesure D, par exemple de 2 cm, de la face du support 17 sur laquelle sont placées les LED. Un capteur 33 adapté pour mesurer une quantité de lumière, par exemple du type du Luxmètre MS-200LED exploité par la société VOLTCRAFT, est placé en regard de l'ouverture 32 et relié à une unité de traitement.By way of non-limiting example, the figures 4 and 5 illustrate an experimental device 30 implemented to measure a rate of illumination of different decorative zones. A mask 31 covers the side surface 4' of a globally cylindrical bottle 2' along the central axis A. The mask 31 is essentially opaque with the exception of an opening 32, visible on the figures 4 and 5 , located at the measurement distance D, for example 2 cm, from the face of the support 17 on which the LEDs are placed. A sensor 33 suitable for measuring a quantity of light, for example of the type of Luxmeter MS-200LED operated by the company VOLTCRAFT, is placed opposite the opening 32 and connected to a processing unit.

Une mesure initiale de la quantité de lumière à la distance de mesure D est réalisée directement au travers de l'ouverture 32. Les différentes zones de décor sont ensuite placées successivement dans l'ouverture 32 et la quantité de lumière à la distance de mesure D au travers chacune des zones de décor est mesurée.An initial measurement of the quantity of light at the measurement distance D is carried out directly through the opening 32. The different decorative zones are then placed successively in the opening 32 and the quantity of light at the measurement distance D through each of the decor areas is measured.

Les résultats obtenus sont reportés dans le tableau ci-dessous. Tableau Zone de décor Eclairement (lux) Taux d'éclairement Aucune 19,5 ± 0,6 % 100 % Bleue 3,1 ± 0,1 % 15,9 % Rouge 1,4 ± 0,1 % 7,2 % Verte 3,3 ± 0,1 % 16,9 % Blanche 12,1 ± 0,4 % 62,1 % Noire 0,2 ± 0,1 % 1,0 % Brune 0,6 ± 0,1 % 3,1 % Brune claire 4,1 ± 0,2 % 21,0 % Transparente 15,3 ± 0,5 % 78,5 % The results obtained are reported in the table below. <u>Table</u> decor area Illumination (lux) Lighting rate None 19.5±0.6% 100% Blue 3.1±0.1% 15.9% Red 1.4 ± 0.1% 7.2% Green 3.3±0.1% 16.9% White 12.1±0.4% 62.1% Black 0.2 ± 0.1% 1.0% Brown 0.6 ± 0.1% 3.1% light brown 4.1±0.2% 21.0% Transparent 15.3 ± 0.5% 78.5%

Ainsi, une différence de taux d'éclairement de l'ordre de 15 % peut correspondre à un décor présentant des zones de décor opaques noires et des zones de décor transparentes bleues ou vertes. Une différence de taux d'éclairement entre 40 % et 50 % peut correspondre à un décor présentant des zones de décor opaques bleues ou vertes et des zones de décor transparentes blanches.Thus, a difference in illumination rate of the order of 15% can correspond to a decoration having black opaque zones of decoration and blue or green transparent zones of decoration. A difference in illuminance between 40% and 50% can correspond to a decor having blue or green opaque decor zones and white transparent decor zones.

Sur les figures 1 et 2, chaque zone de décor transparente 26 peut être constituée par une fenêtre 27 adaptée pour permettre une visualisation de la paroi latérale 4 depuis l'extérieur. La fenêtre 27 présente alors un taux d'éclairement supérieur à 70 %. Chaque fenêtre 27 peut être obtenue par une portion de film transparente. Le reste du film de revêtement comportant les zones de décor opaques 25 a un taux d'éclairement d'au moins 15 % inférieur à celui des zones de décor transparentes 26. Les zones de décor opaques 25 peuvent alors être noires ou colorées et, par exemple, bleues, rouges et/ou vertes. En variante, chaque fenêtre 27 pourrait être formée par une découpe ménagée dans le film de revêtement 20.On the figures 1 and 2 , each transparent decorative zone 26 can be constituted by a window 27 adapted to allow viewing of the side wall 4 from the outside. The window 27 then has an illumination rate greater than 70%. Each window 27 can be obtained by a portion of transparent film. The rest of the coating film comprising the opaque decorative zones 25 has an illumination rate of at least 15% lower than that of the transparent decorative zones 26. The opaque decorative zones 25 can then be black or colored and, for example, blue, red and/or green. Alternatively, each window 27 could be formed by a cutout made in the coating film 20.

En outre, pour obtenir l'opacité souhaitée et, le cas échéant, la faire varier, il est possible de faire varier différents paramètres du film de revêtement 20 comme par exemple : une épaisseur du film de revêtement, une épaisseur ou un nombre de couches d'impression formant le décor sur le film de revêtement 20, une quantité d'encre utilisée dans la couche d'impression. En particulier, une ou plusieurs des zones de décor opaques 25 pourrait être une zone de décor occultant présentant un taux d'éclairement inférieur à 10 %, de préférence inférieur à 5 %. La zone de décor occultant est de préférence fine avec une épaisseur inférieure à 10 µm, de préférence inférieure à 5 µm, notamment inférieure à 3 µm. Par exemple, la zone de décor occultant comprend une couche d'encre métallique. La zone de décor opaque 25 peut alors être réfléchissante de manière à canaliser la lumière vers les zones de décor transparentes 26. Un tel effet pourrait être obtenu en répartissant des particules métalliques sur une couche d'impression. Selon d'autres variantes, comme il ressort du tableau ci-dessus, les zones de décor transparentes 26 pourraient être vertes ou bleues et les zones de décor opaques 25 pourraient avoir un taux d'éclairement d'au moins 15 % inférieur à celui des zones de décor transparentes 26, c'est-à-dire être noires. Ou encore, les zones de décor transparentes 26 pourraient être blanches et les zones de décor opaques 25 pourraient avoir un taux d'éclairement d'au moins 40 % inférieur à celui des zones de décor transparentes 26, c'est-à-dire être bleues ou vertes.In addition, to obtain the desired opacity and, if necessary, to vary it, it is possible to vary various parameters of the coating film 20 such as for example: a thickness of the coating film, a thickness or a number of layers printing forming the decor on the coating film 20, a quantity of ink used in the printing layer. In particular, one or more of the opaque decoration zones 25 could be a blackout decoration zone having an illumination rate of less than 10%, preferably less than 5%. The blackout decoration zone is preferably thin with a thickness of less than 10 μm, preferably less than 5 μm, in particular less than 3 μm. For example, the blackout decor zone comprises a layer of metallic ink. The opaque decoration zone 25 can then be reflective so as to channel the light towards the transparent decoration zones 26. Such an effect could be obtained by distributing metallic particles on a printing layer. According to other variants, as emerges from the above table, the transparent decorative zones 26 could be green or blue and the opaque decorative zones 25 could have an illumination rate at least 15% lower than that of the transparent decor areas 26, that is to say be black. Alternatively, the transparent decorative zones 26 could be white and the opaque decorative zones 25 could have an illumination rate at least 40% lower than that of the transparent decorative zones 26, that is to say be blue or green.

Sur la figure 1, le système d'éclairage 15 est éteint. En revanche, sur la figure 2, le système d'éclairage 15 est allumé de sorte que le faisceau lumineux émis par les LED 16 alimentées en énergie électrique par la pile se propage dans le liquide pour rétroéclairer le décor du film de revêtement 20. La différence d'éclairement entre les premières et deuxièmes zones de contraste permet d'obtenir un effet visuel particulier qui dépend de l'agencement des différentes zones de contraste. En outre, le renflement inférieur 7, à proximité de la source lumineuse 16, présente un éclairement plus intense que celui du renflement intermédiaire 8. Du fait de la propagation du faisceau lumineux dans le liquide qui remplit la bouteille sur la figure 2 et de la réflexion sur le ménisque de la surface libre du liquide, le renflement supérieur 9 présente également un éclairement plus intense que celui du renflement intermédiaire 8.On the figure 1 , the lighting system 15 is off. On the other hand, on the picture 2 , the lighting system 15 is switched on so that the light beam emitted by the LEDs 16 supplied with electrical energy by the battery propagates in the liquid to backlight the decoration of the coating film 20. The difference in illumination between the first and second contrast zones makes it possible to obtain a particular visual effect which depends on the arrangement of the different contrast zones. In addition, the lower bulge 7, close to the light source 16, has a more intense illumination than that of the intermediate bulge 8. Due to the propagation of the light beam in the liquid which fills the bottle on the picture 2 and reflection on the meniscus of the free surface of the liquid, the upper bulge 9 also has a more intense illumination than that of the intermediate bulge 8.

Ainsi, le faisceau lumineux, le liquide, le décor du film de revêtement 20 et la bouteille 2, notamment de par sa forme, interagissent pour produire un effet visuel qu'il est alors possible de moduler en jouant sur un agencement des première et deuxième zones de contraste.Thus, the light beam, the liquid, the decoration of the coating film 20 and the bottle 2, in particular due to its shape, interact to produce a visual effect which it is then possible to modulate by playing on an arrangement of the first and second contrast areas.

Comme il ressort des figures 6 à 8, l'effet visuel peut également être modulé en jouant sur le niveau de remplissage de la bouteille 2.As emerges from figures 6 to 8 , the visual effect can also be modulated by varying the filling level of bottle 2.

La figure 6 représente, à gauche, le conditionnement 1 décrit ci-dessus dans la configuration de la figure 2, c'est-à-dire avec la bouteille 2 pleine jusqu'au niveau de remplissage initiale, et le système d'éclairage 15 allumé. A droite, en revanche, la bouteille 2 est vide, le système d'éclairage 15 restant allumé. Lorsque la bouteille est vide, seul le renflement inférieur 7, à proximité de la source lumineuse 16, présente un éclairement plus intense que le reste de la bouteille 2.The figure 6 represents, on the left, conditioning 1 described above in the configuration of the figure 2 , that is to say with the bottle 2 full to the initial filling level, and the lighting system 15 on. On the right, on the other hand, the bottle 2 is empty, the lighting system 15 remaining on. When the bottle is empty, only the lower bulge 7, close to the light source 16, has a more intense illumination than the rest of the bottle 2.

La modulation de l'effet visuel est illustrée sur les figures 6 et 7 avec un dispositif expérimental 35 pour mesurer l'éclairement en fonction du remplissage de la bouteille 2. Un capteur 36, par exemple du type du Luxmètre MS-200LED exploité par la société VOLTCRAFT, est placé sur le goulot 5 de la bouteille 2, dans l'ouverture supérieure 6, pour mesurer la quantité de lumière provenant du faisceau lumineux au travers de différents niveaux de remplissage de la bouteille 2. Le capteur 36 est relié à une unité de traitement. Les mesures sont réalisées avec et sans film de revêtement. Comme il ressort de la figure 8 illustrant l'évolution de l'éclairement en fonction du remplissage de la bouteille 2, l'éclairement au niveau du capteur 36 augmente avec le niveau de remplissage de la bouteille 2. L'évolution de l'éclairement est, par ailleurs, plus progressive avec un film de revêtement 20 que sans film de revêtement.The modulation of the visual effect is illustrated on the figure 6 and 7 with an experimental device 35 to measure the illumination as a function of the filling of the bottle 2. A sensor 36, for example of the type of Luxmeter MS-200LED operated by the company VOLTCRAFT, is placed on the neck 5 of the bottle 2, in the upper opening 6, to measure the quantity of light coming from the light beam through different filling levels of the bottle 2. The sensor 36 is connected to a processing unit. Measurements are made with and without coating film. As it appears from the figure 8 illustrating the evolution of the illumination as a function of the filling of the bottle 2, the illumination at the level of the sensor 36 increases with the filling level of the bottle 2. The evolution of the illumination is, moreover, more progressive with a coating film 20 than without a coating film.

Les figures 9 et 10 représentent des variantes d'un conditionnement 40 selon un deuxième mode de réalisation de l'invention. Le conditionnement 40 selon le deuxième mode de réalisation ne diffère du premier mode de réalisation décrit précédemment que par le décor du film de revêtement 41a, 41b. La description ne sera donc pas reprise en détails et l'on se référera à la description du conditionnement qui a déjà été faite pour plus de détails.The figures 9 and 10 represent variants of a packaging 40 according to a second embodiment of the invention. The packaging 40 according to the second embodiment differs from the first embodiment described above only by the decoration of the coating film 41a, 41b. The description will therefore not be repeated in detail. and reference will be made to the description of the packaging which has already been given for more details.

Sur la figure 9, le décor comprend des zones de décor opaques 45a figurant une carrosserie et des zones de décor transparentes 46a figurant des hublots. Au moins l'une des zones de décor transparentes 46a comporte des premier et deuxième motifs superposés tels que le premier motif masque le deuxième motif lorsque le décor n'est pas rétroéclairé par le faisceau lumineux et que le deuxième motif devienne apparent lorsque le décor est rétroéclairé par le faisceau lumineux. Par exemple, le premier motif peut être une couleur blanche remplissant le hublot lorsque le système d'éclairage 15 est éteint et le deuxième motif peut être un visage visible dans le hublot lorsque le système d'éclairage 15 est allumé.On the figure 9 , the decoration comprises opaque decorative zones 45a figuring a bodywork and transparent decorative zones 46a figuring portholes. At least one of the transparent decoration zones 46a comprises first and second superimposed patterns such that the first pattern masks the second pattern when the decoration is not backlit by the light beam and the second pattern becomes apparent when the decoration is backlit by the light beam. For example, the first pattern may be a white color filling the window when the lighting system 15 is off and the second pattern may be a face visible in the window when the lighting system 15 is on.

En variante, sur la figure 10, le décor comprend des zones de décor opaques 45b figurant une carlingue d'un avion et des zones de décor transparentes 46b figurant également des hublots. Le premier motif peut être une couleur blanche remplissant le hublot lorsque le système d'éclairage 15 est éteint et le deuxième motif peut être une représentation de rangées de sièges à l'intérieur de l'avion visible dans les hublots lorsque le système d'éclairage 15 est allumé.Alternatively, on the figure 10 , the decor includes opaque decor zones 45b depicting an airplane cabin and transparent decor zones 46b also depicting portholes. The first pattern may be a white color filling the window when the lighting system 15 is off and the second pattern may be a representation of rows of seats inside the aircraft visible in the windows when the lighting system 15 is on.

Pour ce faire, les premier et deuxième motifs peuvent être réalisés l'un sur une surface intérieure du film de revêtement 41, 42 en contact avec la surface extérieure de la paroi latérale 4 de la bouteille 2, et l'autre sur une surface extérieure du film de revêtement 41, 42 opposée à la surface intérieure.To do this, the first and second patterns can be made, one on an inner surface of the coating film 41, 42 in contact with the outer surface of the side wall 4 of the bottle 2, and the other on an outer surface of the coating film 41, 42 opposite the inner surface.

La figure 11 représente un conditionnement 50 selon un troisième mode de réalisation de l'invention qui, là encore, ne diffère du premier mode de réalisation décrit précédemment que par le décor du film de revêtement 51. La description ne sera donc pas reprise en détails et l'on se référera à la description du conditionnement qui a déjà été faite pour plus de détails.The figure 11 represents a packaging 50 according to a third embodiment of the invention which, again, differs from the first embodiment described above only by the decoration of the coating film 51. The description will therefore not be repeated in detail and the one will refer to the description of the conditioning which has already been made for more details.

Le décor comprend des zones de décor opaques 55 figurant une carrosserie de voiture et des zones de décor transparentes 56 figurant des phares. Les zones de décor transparentes 56 peuvent être réalisées par des fenêtres 57 obtenues par des portions de film transparentes ou des découpes ménagées dans le film de revêtement 51. Les fenêtres 57 sont alors prévues sur la portion de paroi transversale du renflement supérieure 9 de la paroi latérale 4. Les fenêtres 57 ainsi orientées sensiblement transversalement par rapport au faisceau lumineux peuvent présenter un éclairement plus intense que le reste de la bouteille 2 lorsque le système d'éclairage 15 est allumé. Les zones de décor opaques 55 peuvent, en outre, être choisies pour canaliser le faisceau lumineux et le concentrer vers les fenêtres 57.The decor includes opaque decor zones 55 depicting a car body and transparent decor zones 56 depicting headlights. The transparent decorative zones 56 can be produced by windows 57 obtained by portions of transparent film or cutouts made in the coating film 51. The windows 57 are then provided on the transverse wall portion of the upper bulge 9 of the wall side 4. The windows 57 thus oriented substantially transversely with respect to the light beam can present a more intense illumination than the rest of the bottle 2 when the lighting system 15 is on. Opaque decor areas 55 can, moreover, be chosen to channel the light beam and concentrate it towards the windows 57.

Les figures 12 et 13 représentent des variantes des conditionnements 1, 40 des premier et deuxième modes de réalisation représentés sur les figures 1 et 9. Dans ces variantes, la pile et l'interrupteur du dispositif d'alimentation sont remplacés par un dispositif d'alimentation adapté pour générer une énergie électrique à partir d'une énergie mécanique. En particulier, sur la figure 8, le dispositif d'alimentation peut être activé à partir d'un choc sur le fond 3 de la bouteille 4. Sur la figure 9, le dispositif d'alimentation peut être activé à partir d'une agitation de la bouteille 2.The figures 12 and 13 represent variants of the packages 1, 40 of the first and second embodiments represented on the figure 1 and 9 . In these variants, the battery and the switch of the power supply device are replaced by a power supply device adapted to generate electrical energy from mechanical energy. In particular, on the figure 8 , the feed device can be activated from a shock on the bottom 3 of the bottle 4. On the figure 9 , the feeder can be activated from a shake of bottle 2.

Dans d'autres modes de réalisation, l'activation du dispositif d'alimentation et l'éclairement de la bouteille 2 et du film de revêtement 20, 41a pourrait être commandés de toute manière appropriée. Par exemple, un dispositif de commande pourrait être connecté au dispositif d'alimentation pour le faire passer entre l'état actif et l'état inactif selon une séquence déterminée définie notamment par une temporisation.In other embodiments, the activation of the feeder and the illumination of the bottle 2 and of the coating film 20, 41a could be controlled in any suitable way. For example, a control device could be connected to the power supply device to switch it between the active state and the inactive state according to a determined sequence defined in particular by a time delay.

Dans un quatrième mode de réalisation illustré sur la figure 14, le système d'éclairage peut être un organe d'illumination 62 d'un terminal 60 tel qu'un téléphone ou analogue. Le terminal 60 est placé à proximité de la bouteille 2, par exemple en dessous, en orientant l'organe d'illumination 62 vers le volume de la bouteille 2, par exemple au travers du fond 3, pour en illuminer le contenu.In a fourth embodiment illustrated in the figure 14 , the lighting system can be an illumination member 62 of a terminal 60 such as a telephone or the like. The terminal 60 is placed close to the bottle 2, for example underneath, by directing the illumination member 62 towards the volume of the bottle 2, for example through the bottom 3, to illuminate its contents.

Outre l'organe d'illumination 62 adapté pour émettre un signal lumineux, le terminal 60 peut être équipé d'un dispositif d'acquisition 61 adapté pour acquérir une image et d'un organe de sonorisation 63 adapté pour émettre un signal sonore. Le terminal 60 peut appartenir à un système électronique illustré sur les figures 15 à 17 comprenant en outre une unité de traitement adaptée pour reconnaître, dans une image acquise par le dispositif d'acquisition 61, au moins une caractéristique optique de la bouteille 2 et pour associer à la caractéristique optique au moins un contenu multimédia.In addition to the illumination device 62 adapted to emit a light signal, the terminal 60 can be equipped with an acquisition device 61 adapted to acquire an image and a sound device 63 adapted to emit a sound signal. The terminal 60 can belong to an electronic system illustrated on the figures 15 to 17 further comprising a processing unit suitable for recognizing, in an image acquired by the acquisition device 61, at least one optical characteristic of the bottle 2 and for associating with the optical characteristic at least one multimedia content.

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, la caractéristique optique peut être au moins l'un du motif sur le film de revêtement 20 et de la forme de la bouteille 2. En variante, la caractéristique optique pourrait être constituée par tout autre motif comportant des zones qui diffèrent les unes des autres par un ou plusieurs paramètres optiques, visibles par un utilisateur ou au moins détectables par un dispositif de détection approprié, tels qu'une couleur, un contraste, une intensité ou un taux d'éclairement. La caractéristique optique pourrait également être constituée par toute autre forme.In the embodiment shown, the optical characteristic can be at least one of the pattern on the coating film 20 and the shape of the bottle 2. Alternatively, the optical characteristic could be constituted by any other pattern comprising areas which differ from each other by one or more optical parameters, visible by a user or at least detectable by an appropriate detection device, such as a color, a contrast, an intensity or a level of illumination. The optical characteristic could also consist of any other shape.

Le contenu multimédia comprend des instructions lisibles par l'unité de traitement pour émettre un signal lumineux correspondant à la caractéristique optique par l'organe d'illumination 61. Le signal lumineux peut comporter une ou plusieurs lumières de couleurs et/ou d'intensités différentes émises à une cadence prédéfinie pour une animation lumineuse. Lorsque le terminal 60 est équipé d'un organe de sonorisation 23, le contenu multimédia peut également comprendre des instructions lisibles par l'unité de traitement pour émettre un signal sonore correspondant à la caractéristique optique par l'organe de sonorisation 63. Le signal sonore peut comporter un ou plusieurs sons de hauteurs et/ou d'intensités différentes, le cas échéant, émis en synchronisation avec le signal lumineux.The multimedia content comprises instructions readable by the processing unit to emit a light signal corresponding to the optical characteristic by the illumination member 61. The light signal may comprise one or more lights of different colors and/or intensities. emitted at a predefined rate for a light animation. When the terminal 60 is equipped with a sound system 23, the multimedia content can also include instructions readable by the processing unit to emit a sound signal corresponding to the optical characteristic by the sound system 63. The sound signal may include one or more sounds of different pitches and/or intensities, where appropriate, emitted in synchronization with the light signal.

Le terminal 60 comprend un boîtier 64 portable à la main par un utilisateur et enfermant un ensemble de composants électroniques. En particulier, sur les figures 15 et 16, le terminal 60 est un téléphone comportant sur une face avant un écran d'affichage 65, éventuellement tactile, un microphone 66, un haut-parleur 67 et une ou plusieurs touches de commande 68. Sur une face arrière, le terminal 60 comporte un objectif du dispositif d'acquisition 61, une lampe flash 69 adaptée pour une acquisition d'image par le dispositif d'acquisition dans de faibles conditions de luminosité et un autre haut-parleur 70. L'écran d'affichage 65 et la lampe flash 69 peuvent servir d'organe d'illumination 62, le premier pour émettre un signal lumineux sous la forme d'une surface lumineuse plus ou moins diffuse et le deuxième pour émettre un signal lumineux sous la forme d'un faisceau lumineux plus ou moins focalisé selon une direction d'illumination.
