Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fluid reservoir comprising a body and a neck defining an opening, the neck comprising an upper annular edge defining an external edge and an internal edge, the opening being defined by an internal wall connected to the upper annular edge by the inner ridge.
  • a reservoir is commonly used in the fields of perfumery or cosmetics. It is generally associated with a pump or a valve to extract the fluid product that it contains. A simple stopper or extended with a rod can also be mounted on the neck to seal it.
  • JP H01 226557 A describes a tank provided with a cover, the body of the tank being provided with a plurality of grooves in which a plurality of projections can be inserted.
  • the document FR2776627 describes for example a dispenser comprising a fixing sleeve which rests on the upper annular edge of the neck of a reservoir and which serves as a support for a decorative element which extends around the dip tube of a pump mounted on the neck of the tank.
  • the fixing sleeve has a perfectly symmetrical configuration, as does the neck of the tank. It follows that the decorative element is arranged without precise angular orientation inside the tank. This device would not be suitable for the insertion of a deployment decoration requiring a precise initial angular orientation before insertion in order to deploy correctly in the particular internal geometry of a tank. Indeed, such a non-oriented decoration can lead to blockage or friction along the internal walls, preventing the total deployment of the decoration. The same is true for an internal soft pocket.
  • Soft pouches are generally provided with a support sleeve which is arranged in and on the neck of the reservoir.
  • the angular orientation of the flexible bag in the reservoir is often imposed by its geometry and that of the reservoir. More specifically, when the reservoir has a rectangular or oblong cross-section, the flexible pouch is correspondingly sized, so that its deployment in the tank rotates it so that it can occupy the maximum space. Otherwise, the flexible pouch has no particular angular orientation in the reservoir.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to define a reservoir which makes it possible to fix the angular orientation of a decorative element or of a flexible pouch and more generally to position a decorative element or of a flexible pouch in the three dimensions of the space x, y and z relative to the tank.
  • the present invention proposes that the upper annular edge of the neck be provided or formed with at least one recess which extends over the internal wall by interrupting the internal edge. Said at least one recess does not extend to the outer edge, thus leaving the upper annular edge uninterrupted. Moreover, it forms a bottom defining an edge with the internal wall of the opening. Preferably, two diametrically opposed recesses are provided.
  • the recesses only extend over part of the inner periphery of the upper annular edge, thus forming two recessed slots separated by two intact annular edge segments.
  • these recesses can also qualify these recesses as cavities, alcoves, housings, cutouts, recesses, indentations, grooves, etc.
  • each recess form stop profiles in rotation and the bottom forms an axial bearing surface. Any member occupying such a recess is thus blocked in rotation x and y by the ends of the recess, and in the height z by the bottom of the recess.
  • This locking feature on the neck in rotation x, y and in the height z is essential if it is desired to fill through the insert without causing it to rotate or sink into the reservoir. It is also essential if it is desired to insert into the reservoir a member requiring deployment oriented and indexed in x, y and z with respect to the neck and the internal shape of the reservoir.
  • the fluid reservoir further comprises an insert engaged in the neck and comprising a fixing sleeve disposed in the neck, this fixing sleeve comprising at least one collar section which projects radially outwards and which is received in said at least one neck recess resting on its bottom, each collar section completely filling its respective recess.
  • the insert may include a decorative element or even a flexible pocket.
  • the flange section is received substantially without play in rotation in its respective recess. In other words, the flange section extends from one end to the other of each recess or comes into contact with the two opposite ends of the recess. At the level of each collar section, there remains an annular edge area, so that the annular edge forms a complete loop, the width of which is thinned at the level of the recesses.
  • the fixing sleeve can be pierced with at least one vent hole, which allows the air contained in the tank around the fixing sleeve to be evacuated to the outside.
  • the reservoir is filled with fluid product, while the insert is already in place in the reservoir.
  • the injection of fluid product is carried out through the fixing sleeve and when the level of fluid product in the reservoir reaches the bottom of the sleeve, the air trapped in the reservoir must be able to escape. But as the sleeve is in place in the neck of the tank, it prevents the evacuation. Hence the presence of one or two venting holes which will communicate the reservoir with the neck by crossing the sleeve.
  • the securing sleeve may include two opposed flats between the flange sections. These flats create passages between the neck and the sleeve, which allow the air trapped in the tank to escape to the outside.
  • the insert is inserted by force through the neck, it is advantageous for it to be provided with vertical reinforcing ribs at the level of the neck.
  • These ribs can be made in one piece with the sleeve or by overmolding or bi-injection. These ribs can also participate in the evacuation of air when filling the bottle. It is for example possible not to completely push the sleeve into the neck during filling.
  • the fixing sleeve can be provided with a decorative element which has a span greater than the diameter of the internal wall of the neck.
  • the decorative element is deformed during its passage through the neck and then unfolds in the body of the reservoir.
  • a flexible pouch can be integral with the fixing sleeve, which then serves as a pouch support.
  • the invention also defines a fluid product dispenser comprising a fluid product reservoir as defined above and a dispensing member, such as a pump, mounted in leaktight manner on the upper annular edge of the neck.
  • the spirit of the invention resides in the fact of locally profiling the inner part of the upper annular edge of the neck of the reservoir to form stop profiles in rotation.
  • the insert which engages with the recesses of the neck is not only oriented in rotation, but also positioned in height with precision inside the tank.
  • the figure 1 shows a fluid product reservoir R comprising a body 11 forming a fluid product storage volume and a neck 12 which extends upwards from the body 11 and which defines an opening 16 which communicates the interior of the body 11 with the exterior.
  • the body 11 and the neck 12 can be in one piece or made in two separate assembled parts.
  • the neck 12 may include a projecting annular reinforcement 13 which will be used to fix a dispenser member, such as a pump, by means of a fixing ring.
  • the neck 12 defines an upper annular edge 14, which can be perfectly flat.
  • this annular edge 14 comprises a projecting annular sealing ring 142.
  • an outer edge 140 is formed at the level of the junction of this edge 14 with the annular reinforcement 13.
  • the opening 16 forms an internal wall 161 which is connected to the edge 14 by forming an internal edge 146.
  • the annular edge 14 and the internal wall 161 are interrupted by two recesses 15, which thus interrupt the internal edge 146. These two recesses 15 do not extend to the outer edge 140, so that there remain two annular edge areas 145 at the level of the recesses 15. More specifically, each recess 15 extends over part of the periphery of the edge 14, for example over 60°.
  • Each recess defines two opposite ends 152, as well as a bottom 151 and a vertical wall 154.
  • the bottom 151 defines an edge 156 with the internal wall 161 of the opening 16.
  • the vertical side wall 153 defines an edge 154 with the beach edge 145.
  • Each recess 15 may have a generally dovetail-shaped configuration.
  • the bottom 151 is flat, while the vertical wall 153 is curved.
  • Both ends 152 may be planar and extend radially.
  • the two edge pads 145 are interconnected by two edge sections 141 having a greater width. In other words, it can be said that the recesses 15 are dug in the upper annular edge 14 towards the opening 16, leaving the annular reinforcement 13 intact.
  • the annular edge 14 extends over the entire periphery, including at the level of the recesses 15, thus forming a closed planar loop.
  • the sealing ring 142 is also continuous over the entire periphery.
  • the neck forms two recesses 15.
  • the recess or recesses extend inwards only.
  • the bottom 151 of the recesses is flat, but it is also possible to make it with another configuration.
  • the vertical side walls 154 are curved, but it is also possible to envisage making them with another configuration, in particular flat rectilinear.
  • An essential characteristic of the recesses resides in the fact that they are hollowed out in the annular edge 14 and open towards the opening 16.
  • the reservoir R can be made of any suitable material, such as for example glass, wood, ceramic, plastic or even metal.
  • the shape of the body 11 and the neck 12 is not critical to the present invention, in that the upper annular edge 14 is formed with one or more recesses as described above.
  • the reservoir R is provided with an insert D, as visible on the figure 4 .
  • This insert D is intended to be engaged in the neck 12 of the reservoir R so as to also extend inside the body 11.
  • the insert D of the figure 4 comprises a fixing sleeve M, which has a generally tubular shape.
  • the insert D also includes a decorative element 27 which can be made in one piece with the sleeve M.
  • the decorative element 27 can be attached and fixed to the sleeve M.
  • the decorative element 27 can be produced by overmolding or bi-injection, in particular with a plastic material that is more flexible than that of the sleeve M.
  • the decorative element 27 is here in the form of two wings which extend on either side of the sleeve M.
  • the span of these two wings is much greater than the diameter of the opening 16 of the neck 12.
  • the decorative element 27 can unfold and extend freely inside the reservoir R.
  • the reservoir R be made of a transparent material, such as by glass.
  • the upper part of the sleeve M is made with one or more vent hole(s) 22, which pass through the wall thickness of the sleeve M.
  • the vent hole 22, visible on the figure 4 extends to the inside of the sleeve M. It is thus possible to provide one or more vent hole(s) 22, for example distributed equidistantly all around the periphery of the sleeve M.
  • the outer wall of the sleeve M is provided with several vertical reinforcing ribs 23 which protrude outwards, as can be seen in the figure 5 .
  • These ribs 23 can be made in such a way in one piece with the sleeve M, or on the contrary be overmolded or bi-injected, for example with a particularly rigid plastic material.
  • the purpose of these ribs 23 is to reinforce the holding of the sleeve M, in particular when a vertical thrust is exerted.
  • These ribs 23 also make it possible to keep the venting holes 22 out of contact with the internal wall 161.
  • These ribs 23 can also be used, in certain cases, to hold the sleeve in place in the neck by friction. They can therefore fulfill a triple function: reinforcement, ventilation and maintenance.
  • the sleeve M defines an annular edge 24 which defines an opening 26 which extends through the sleeve M and communicates with the vent hole 22.
  • the annular edge 24 also forms two flange sections 25 which project radially outwards. It may be noted that these flanges 25 have a dovetail-shaped configuration, like those of the recesses 15 of the neck 12 of the tank R. These sections of flanges 25 are dimensioned so as to be able to be received in the recesses 15, section flange 25 completely filling its respective recess 15. This means that the two opposite edges of the flange sections 25 will simultaneously come into contact with the two opposite ends 152 of the recess 15.
  • the flange sections 25 are received without clearance in rotation inside the recesses 15.
  • the lower surface of the flange sections 25 bears against the bottom 151 of the recesses 15.
  • the upper surface of the flange sections 25 can advantageously come flush with the annular upper edge 14 of the neck 12.
  • the reinforcing ribs 23 can come into contact with the inner wall 161 of the opening 16 of the neck 12.
  • the vent hole 22 is preferably ence kept away from the inner wall 161, so as not to be obstructed.
  • the two collar sections 25 are connected together by two curved wall sections 241, since the sleeve M has a circular cylindrical configuration.
  • the sleeve M′ still has a cylindrical cross-section, but not a circular one. Indeed, it can be seen that the two collar sections 25 are connected together by two flats 241'. The annular edge 24' is then no longer circular, but rather rectangular in shape. In this variant embodiment, it is possibly not necessary to form vent holes 22 in the flats 241′, nor ribs 23. Indeed, given that the internal wall 161 of the opening 16 is substantially or perfectly circular cylindrical and that the flats 241' are by definition flat, there remains a passage between the internal wall 161 and the flats 241. This passage is much smaller in the embodiment of the figure 5 , since the connecting sections 241 are curved, just like the inner wall 161. The gap between the connecting sections 241 and the inner wall 161 is ensured by the ribs 23.
  • the figure 7 very schematically shows a distributor integrating the reservoir R of the invention and the insert D of the invention.
  • the dispenser also includes a dispenser member P which can be a pump.
  • This dispensing member P is equipped with a push button B which makes it possible to actuate the pump and to dispense the fluid product, for example in the form of a spray.
  • a fixing ring F which can be a crimp ring, screw or snap. The aim is to maintain the dispensing member P in a fixed and sealed manner on the neck 12.
  • the flange sections 25 are engaged inside the recesses 15 and that the dispensing member P comprises a flange P1 which comes into leaktight contact with the annular edge 14 of the neck, possibly with the interposition of a collar.
  • the seal is preferably produced at the level of the sealing ring 142.
  • the body of the dispensing member P extends inside the fixing sleeve M of the insert D.
  • the final phase of positioning the insert D in the reservoir R consists of positioning the flange sections 25 in alignment with the recesses 15, so as to be able to receive them.
  • a final axial pressing on the annular edge 24 makes it possible to engage the collar sections 25 inside the recesses 15. Not only has the insert D reached its position inside the reservoir R, but above all the element of decoration 27 is perfectly oriented with precision inside the body 11, due to the engagement of the collar sections 25 in the recesses 15. This makes it possible to orient the decorative element 27 angularly in a precise manner with respect to the tank R, especially when the latter has a non-symmetrical configuration of revolution.
  • the decorative element 27 here has a much larger span than that of the opening 16, but it is also possible to envisage another decorative element whose size remains in that of the opening 16 of the neck 12.
  • insert D is introduced into reservoir R when reservoir R is empty.
  • the filling of the reservoir R is done through the insert D, and more precisely its fixing sleeve M.
  • an injection cannula is engaged inside the opening 26.
  • This injection cannula injects fluid product in the reservoir through the sleeve M. as soon as the fluid product in the reservoir R reaches the lower end of the sleeve M, the air trapped in the reservoir R must escape around the sleeve M engaged in the neck .
  • the fixing sleeve M' also allows correct evacuation of the air, by creating two passages of increased section .
  • the dispensing device P is placed on the reservoir R and fixed in place using the fixing ring F. Finally, the push button B is mounted on the actuating rod of the the dispensing member P. A protective cover, not shown, can be fitted to protect the push button B.
  • the insert D can be held in place on the neck by means of a ring on which a simple plug can be mounted.
  • a plug B' which cooperates with a fixing ring F', a neck gasket G and the sleeve M of an insert D'.
  • the insert D′ can be similar to the insert D: it can optionally be shorter, but its sleeve M remains globally unchanged. Its flange sections 25 are engaged in the recesses.
  • the neck gasket G is positioned on both the sealing ring 142 of the neck, the flange sections 25 and the annular edge 24.
  • the internal periphery of the neck gasket G can come into alignment with the internal wall of the sleeve M
  • the retaining ring F' engages the neck and includes an internal flange F1 which extends above the neck gasket G to compress it against the neck gasket 142, the flange sections 25 and the annular edge 24, in order to create a seal.
  • the fixing ring F' also includes a sleeve F2 which is internally threaded.
  • the plug B' which can be in one piece or in several parts, comprises a threaded crown B2 which comes into threaded engagement with the threaded sleeve F2.
  • the cap B' also includes a shoulder B1 which bears against the inner edge of the neck gasket G to compress it on the annular edge 24 of the sleeve M.
  • the cap B' also forms a stud B3 engaged in the sleeve M so as to create a leaktight contact with the internal wall of the sleeve and/or with the joint of collar G.
  • the nipple B3 is extended by a rod B4 which will serve as a fluid product applicator. Rod B4 extends into sleeve M, and possibly beyond inside reservoir R.
  • the fixing of the cap B' by threading on the fixing ring F' is optional: the maintenance of the cap B' could be entirely ensured by the sealing engagement by friction of the stud B3 and the sleeve M.
  • the fluid reservoir R' of the figure 9 is substantially identical to that of the figure 1 , except that it has a horizontal cross section of square or substantially square shape.
  • the neck 12 with its recesses 15 may be identical to that of the first embodiment, and will therefore not be described in detail.
  • the insert S is quite different from that of the first embodiment.
  • This insert S also comprises a fixing sleeve M" which can generally have a configuration substantially similar to the upper part of the sleeve M or M'.
  • This fixing sleeve M" comprises an annular edge 24 which delimits a through opening 26.
  • the edge 24 forms two flange sections 25, which may be identical to those of the first embodiment.
  • the insert S comprises a flexible pocket 27', which can for example be made by welding complex laminated sheets, for example of aluminum and plastic material.
  • the flexible pouch 27' is welded around the fixing sleeve M", which then serves as a pouch support.
  • the flexible pouch 27' is substantially flat, as can be seen in the figure 11 .
  • This orientation is not done automatically and it is therefore necessary to rotate the flexible pocket 27' inside the body 11', so that its plane is oriented diagonally (shown in dotted lines on the figure 8 ) of the body 11'.
  • This orientation by rotation can be done visually or roughly by grasping the fixing sleeve M" and rotating it on itself.
  • it is no longer necessary to seek by trial and error the optimal orientation. Indeed, it suffices to fix the flexible pouch 27' on the sleeve M" with a defined angular orientation, which allows, once the flange sections 25 are engaged in the recesses 15, to position the plane of the flexible pouch 27 in alignment with the diagonal of the body 11' . Then, the pocket 27' can be deployed inside the body 11' occupying a maximum space.
  • the aligned arrangement of the plane of the flexible bag 27 'with the diagonal of the body 11' is a characteristic which can be protected in itself, that is to say independently of the fact that the fixing sleeve M " or provided with collar sections 25.
  • This feature is particularly advantageous in the case of a reservoir or bottle of square horizontal section.
  • the profiled tank with its sleeve makes it possible to determine with precision the layout, and more particularly the angular orientation, inside a tank.
  • this angular orientation thanks to the recesses 15 and the collar sections 25, does not disturb the subsequent assembly of a dispenser member, such as a pump, since the upper annular edge 14 retains its integrity over its entire periphery.
