Description Description
Titre de l'invention : Distributeur de produit liquide ou pâteux et procédé de distribution de produit liquide ou pâteux avec un tel distributeur Title of the invention: Dispenser for liquid or pasty product and method for dispensing liquid or pasty product with such a dispenser
[0001] La présente invention concerne un distributeur de produit liquide ou pâteux ainsi qu’un procédé de distribution de produit liquide ou pâteux avec un tel distributeur. The present invention relates to a liquid or pasty product dispenser as well as a method for dispensing a liquid or pasty product with such a dispenser.
[0002] Elle concerne en particulier un distributeur de produit liquide ou pâteux comprenant un emballage rigide à l’intérieur duquel est logée une poche souple renfermant le produit à distribuer, ladite poche étant munie d’un robinet, ledit distributeur présentant au moins une configuration d’utilisation dans laquelle le robinet fait au moins partiellement saillie de l’emballage. [0002] It relates in particular to a liquid or pasty product dispenser comprising a rigid packaging inside which is housed a flexible pouch containing the product to be dispensed, said pouch being provided with a tap, said dispenser having at least one configuration of use in which the valve at least partially protrudes from the packaging.
[0003] Les distributeurs de liquide, et plus précisément des contenants à emballage rigide, généralement cartonné, renfermant une poche souple sont connus comme l'illustre le brevet US 5 803 346. Ces distributeurs sont couramment désignés "bag-in-box ®" ou "BIB". Ils sont utilisés pour contenir des boissons (vins, jus de fruits, lait etc.) ou d'autres liquides alimentaires (huiles, etc.) et même des liquides non alimentaires (lessives liquides etc.). Leur utilisation connaît une forte croissance. Ces contenants offrent de nombreux avantages, en termes de conservation, de praticité (utilisation, stockage) et d'impact écologique. [0003] Liquid dispensers, and more specifically containers with rigid packaging, generally cardboard, containing a flexible pouch are known as illustrated by US Patent 5,803,346. These dispensers are commonly referred to as "bag-in-box ®" or "BIB". They are used to contain drinks (wines, fruit juices, milk etc.) or other food liquids (oils, etc.) and even non-food liquids (liquid detergents etc.). Their use is growing rapidly. These containers offer many advantages in terms of conservation, practicality (use, storage) and ecological impact.
[0004] Les distributeurs de type "bag-in-box ®" permettent un écoulement du liquide par un robinet anti-retour d'air, sans avoir à déplacer le contenant en lui-même. La manipulation du robinet se fait classiquement d'une main, en présentant simplement le récipient ou verre à remplir. Ce mode d'utilisation à la façon d'une fontaine est particulièrement apprécié. [0004] Distributors of the “bag-in-box®” type allow the liquid to flow through a non-return air valve, without having to move the container itself. The handling of the faucet is conventionally done with one hand, by simply presenting the container or glass to be filled. This mode of use, like a fountain, is particularly appreciated.
[0005] Les utilisateurs constatent néanmoins qu'il reste toujours une quantité résiduelle de liquide à l'intérieur de la poche souple, en fin d'usage, malgré l'ouverture du robinet. Ce phénomène s'explique naturellement par la hauteur du robinet sur l'emballage extérieur, qui est supérieure à celle du fond de la poche souple. Pour des raisons de fabrication et d'assemblage, le robinet ne peut en effet être placé au point le plus bas du dispositif, ce qui implique qu'une quantité résiduelle de liquide reste piégée en dessous du niveau du robinet. [0005] Users nevertheless note that there is always a residual quantity of liquid inside the flexible bag, at the end of use, despite the opening of the tap. This phenomenon is naturally explained by the height of the tap on the outer packaging, which is greater than that of the bottom of the flexible pouch. For manufacturing and assembly reasons, the valve cannot effect be placed at the lowest point of the device, which implies that a residual quantity of liquid remains trapped below the level of the tap.
[0006] Cette situation conduit soit à extraire la poche souple de l'emballage rigide en fin d'usage, soit à pencher le dispositif pour mieux répartir le liquide vis-à-vis du robinet et faciliter son écoulement, soit à gâcher une quantité de liquide lorsque l'emballage et la poche sont jetés. Dans tous les cas, les dispositifs actuels s'avèrent peu pratiques dans cette phase d'utilisation. Les manipulations sont peu pratiques, indélicates, notamment dans des situations de réception ou lorsqu'une productivité est recherchée, par exemple dans des restaurants (ouverture de l'emballage rigide, extraction de la poche, écoulement de la boisson en maintenant la poche au-dessus du robinet, rangement de la poche et de l'emballage cartonné, risque de goûtes et de tâches sur un vêtement etc.). [0006] This situation leads either to extracting the flexible bag from the rigid packaging at the end of use, or to leaning the device to better distribute the liquid vis-à-vis the tap and facilitating its flow, or to spoil a quantity of liquid when the wrapper and pouch are discarded. In all cases, the current devices prove to be impractical in this phase of use. The manipulations are impractical, indelicate, especially in reception situations or when productivity is sought, for example in restaurants (opening of the rigid packaging, extraction of the pocket, flow of the drink by holding the pocket above above the tap, storage of the pocket and cardboard packaging, risk of drops and stains on clothing, etc.).
[0007] On connaît dans l'art antérieur le document EP 2 251 272 décrivant un contenant de type "bag-in-box ®" proposant une solution à ce problème. Ce contenant comprend un emballage extérieur rigide constitué d'une ou plusieurs enveloppes en carton dans laquelle est logée une poche souple. Un support est prévu pour faciliter l'écoulement du liquide par le robinet lorsque le niveau est insuffisant. Ce support comporte une base située sous la poche souple, reliée à une partie frontale épousant la paroi de l'enveloppe qui est traversée par le robinet. La partie frontale s'étend sur toute la hauteur de l'enveloppe et est accrochée en partie haute à un rabat situé au sommet de l'emballage rigide, permettant de manœuvrer la partie frontale depuis l'extérieur et de transmettre le déplacement à la base. En outre, il est prévu des moyens d'assistance aux précédents moyens consistant à soulever la base dans une zone opposée à la partie frontale. Ces moyens d'assistance sont constitués d'une cordelette ou ficelle nouée à une fente de la base, qui est apte à être tirée depuis l'extérieur de l'emballage. [0007] In the prior art, document EP 2 251 272 describes a “bag-in-box®” type container offering a solution to this problem. This container comprises a rigid outer packaging consisting of one or more cardboard envelopes in which is housed a flexible pouch. A support is provided to facilitate the flow of liquid through the valve when the level is insufficient. This support comprises a base located under the flexible bag, connected to a front part matching the wall of the envelope through which the tap passes. The front part extends over the entire height of the envelope and is hooked in the upper part to a flap located at the top of the rigid packaging, allowing the front part to be maneuvered from the outside and the movement to be transmitted to the base . In addition, there are provided means of assistance to the previous means consisting in lifting the base in a zone opposite the front part. These assistance means consist of a cord or string tied to a slot in the base, which can be pulled from outside the packaging.
[0008] Un tel dispositif est relativement complexe, requiert de nombreuses pièces et découpes dans l'emballage rigide et/ou le support. Il requiert également des opérations de fixation contraignantes entre l'emballage rigide et le support. Il est en outre peu adapté au mode de conditionnement industriel des distributeurs à poche souple classiques du commerce, et à leur utilisation, dans laquelle le consommateur installe lui-même le robinet dans une ouverture préformée à cet effet, sans ouvrir complètement l'emballage rigide par ses rabats. En outre, la manipulation du support dans le document précité ne permet pas de conserver l'aspect compact et fermé d'origine du distributeur. [0008] Such a device is relatively complex, requires numerous parts and cutouts in the rigid packaging and/or the support. It also requires constraining fixing operations between the rigid packaging and the support. It is also not very suitable for the industrial packaging mode of conventional flexible pocket dispensers on the market, and for their use, in which the consumer himself installs the tap in an opening preformed for this purpose. effect, without completely opening the rigid packaging by its flaps. In addition, the handling of the support in the aforementioned document does not make it possible to retain the original compact and closed appearance of the dispenser.
[0009] Ces contraintes de vidange amènent les fabricants de distributeurs à positionner le robinet en partie basse de l’emballage extérieur, ce qui oblige à positionner un tel distributeur sur un coin de table pour permettre le remplissage d’un verre positionné sous le robinet, le verre pouvant alors s’étendre à un niveau inférieur au niveau du plateau de table sur lequel le distributeur est posé. Cette utilisation s’avère peu pratique puisque l’utilisateur doit lors de l’actionnement du robinet tenir en parallèle son verre. L’usage d’un tel distributeur à la manière d’une fontaine en positionnant ce distributeur au milieu de la table est donc empêché. [0009] These emptying constraints lead dispenser manufacturers to position the tap in the lower part of the outer packaging, which requires positioning such a dispenser on a corner of the table to allow the filling of a glass positioned under the tap. , the glass then being able to extend to a level lower than the level of the table top on which the distributor is placed. This use proves to be impractical since the user must, when actuating the tap, hold his glass in parallel. The use of such a distributor in the manner of a fountain by positioning this distributor in the middle of the table is therefore prevented.
[0010] Un but de l’invention est de proposer un distributeur du type précité dont la conception permet une utilisation du distributeur à la manière d’une fontaine avec la possibilité de poser un verre sur la surface sur laquelle le distributeur est posé sans avoir à tenir le verre au cours de son remplissage et ce, sans nuire aux performances du distributeur en termes de vidange de la poche. An object of the invention is to provide a dispenser of the aforementioned type, the design of which allows the dispenser to be used in the manner of a fountain with the possibility of placing a glass on the surface on which the dispenser is placed without having to hold the glass during its filling and this, without affecting the performance of the dispenser in terms of emptying the pocket.
[0011] Un autre but de l’invention est de proposer un distributeur du type précité dont la conception permet une distribution maximale de liquide ne nécessitant ni déplacement du distributeur, ni extraction de la poche souple tout en autorisant l’utilisation du distributeur à la manière d’une fontaine jusqu’au dernier verre. Another object of the invention is to provide a distributor of the aforementioned type, the design of which allows maximum distribution of liquid requiring neither displacement of the distributor nor extraction of the flexible bag while allowing the use of the distributor at the manner of a fountain until the last drink.
[0012] A cet effet, l’invention a pour objet un distributeur de produit liquide ou pâteux, ledit distributeur comprenant un emballage rigide à l’intérieur duquel est logée une poche souple de stockage du produit à distribuer, ladite poche étant munie d’un robinet, ledit distributeur présentant au moins une configuration d’utilisation dans laquelle le robinet fait au moins partiellement saillie de l’emballage, caractérisé en ce que l’emballage, qui se présente sous forme d’une boîte, comprend un corps et un couvercle emboîtables pour un montage à emboîtement coulissant dans le sens d’un rapprochement ou d’un écartement l’un de l’autre, en ce que le robinet fait, en configuration d’utilisation, au moins partiellement saillie de l’emballage à travers un orifice ménagé dans le couvercle, en ce que le corps est un corps creux tubulaire comprenant un fond et une paroi latérale périphérique pour délimiter une cavité dite ouverte munie d’une ouverture, en ce que le corps est un corps réversible présentant une première et une seconde positions d’insertion à emboîtement coulissant dans le couvercle, en ce que, dans la première position du corps, l’ouverture de la cavité orientée en direction de l’intérieur de l’emballage est fermée par le couvercle, et en ce que, dans la seconde position du corps, l’ouverture de la cavité est orientée en direction de l’extérieur de l’emballage pour être accessible depuis l’extérieur de l’emballage. Grâce à cette conception, le remplissage d’un verre placé sous le robinet, sans avoir à tenir le verre, est possible tout en autorisant une vidange complète de la poche. To this end, the invention relates to a liquid or pasty product dispenser, said dispenser comprising a rigid packaging inside which is housed a flexible pouch for storing the product to be dispensed, said pouch being provided with a tap, said dispenser having at least one use configuration in which the tap projects at least partially from the packaging, characterized in that the packaging, which is in the form of a box, comprises a body and a interlocking lids for a sliding interlocking assembly in the direction of a rapprochement or a separation from each other, in that the valve makes, in the configuration of use, at least partially projecting from the packaging to through an orifice formed in the cover, in that the body is a tubular hollow body comprising a bottom and a wall peripheral side to delimit a so-called open cavity provided with an opening, in that the body is a reversible body having a first and a second insertion position with sliding interlocking in the cover, in that, in the first position of the body , the opening of the cavity oriented towards the inside of the package is closed by the lid, and in that, in the second position of the body, the opening of the cavity is oriented towards the outside of the packaging to be accessible from the outside of the packaging. Thanks to this design, the filling of a glass placed under the tap, without having to hold the glass, is possible while allowing complete emptying of the pocket.
[0013] Selon un mode de réalisation de l’invention, dans la seconde position du corps, la poche est disposée entre le fond dudit corps et le couvercle aptes à presser la poche à l’état entraîné en déplacement relatif à coulissement dans le sens d’un rapprochement l’un de l’autre. La poche souple est une poche déformable. Cette poche est compressible. Le fond du corps et le couvercle forment donc, dans la seconde position du corps, des éléments presseurs d’une presse entre lesquels la poche est prise en sandwich. Cette presse peut être actionnée par gravité. En effet, le couvercle est monté, sous l'effet de son propre poids, librement déplaçable à coulissement dans le sens d'un rapprochement du fond du corps au fur et à mesure de la vidange de la poche à l'état positionné du couvercle au-dessus du corps et en seconde position du corps. Cette presse peut également être actionnée par l’utilisateur sous l’effet par exemple d’une pression exercée sur le couvercle. Ainsi, le corps est un pousseur apte à permettre, par contact d’appui avec la poche, la vidange de la poche à l’état entraîné en déplacement relatif à coulissement du corps et du couvercle dans le sens d’un rapprochement l’un de l’autre. According to one embodiment of the invention, in the second position of the body, the pocket is arranged between the bottom of said body and the lid capable of pressing the pocket in the driven state in relative sliding movement in the direction of getting closer to each other. The flexible pocket is a deformable pocket. This pocket is compressible. The bottom of the body and the lid therefore form, in the second position of the body, pressing elements of a press between which the pocket is sandwiched. This press can be operated by gravity. Indeed, the lid is mounted, under the effect of its own weight, freely movable by sliding in the direction of a rapprochement of the bottom of the body as the emptying of the pocket in the positioned state of the lid. above the body and in second position of the body. This press can also be actuated by the user under the effect, for example, of pressure exerted on the lid. Thus, the body is a pusher able to allow, by bearing contact with the pocket, the emptying of the pocket in the driven state in relative sliding movement of the body and the lid in the direction of bringing them closer together. the other.
[0014] Selon un mode de réalisation de l’invention, ledit distributeur présente au moins une configuration de stockage dans laquelle le robinet est renfermé à l’intérieur de l’emballage. Cette disposition permet de protéger le robinet pendant la phase de stockage du distributeur avant la première utilisation. Ainsi, l’orifice ménagé dans le couvercle peut être un orifice obturable dont l’obturateur peut être éliminé ou partiellement détruit au moment de la première utilisation pour permettre au robinet de faire saillie de l’emballage à travers ledit orifice. [0015] Selon un mode de réalisation de l’invention, le corps est disposé dans la première position au moins dans la configuration de stockage. Il en résulte une compacité du distributeur en configuration de stockage. According to one embodiment of the invention, said dispenser has at least one storage configuration in which the valve is enclosed inside the packaging. This arrangement makes it possible to protect the tap during the storage phase of the dispenser before first use. Thus, the orifice made in the lid can be a closable orifice, the shutter of which can be eliminated or partially destroyed at the time of first use to allow the valve to protrude from the packaging through said orifice. According to one embodiment of the invention, the body is arranged in the first position at least in the storage configuration. This results in a compactness of the dispenser in the storage configuration.
[0016] Selon un mode de réalisation de l’invention, le corps est disposé dans la seconde position au moins dans la configuration d’utilisation. According to one embodiment of the invention, the body is arranged in the second position at least in the configuration of use.
[0017] Selon un mode de réalisation de l’invention, l’emballage est en carton. According to one embodiment of the invention, the packaging is made of cardboard.
[0018] Selon un mode de réalisation de l’invention, le couvercle et le corps forment, à l’état emboîté, en configuration d’utilisation de l’emballage, et en deuxième position du corps, un emballage présentoir avec le couvercle disposé au-dessus dudit corps. Le couvercle est, à l’état monté à emboîtement coulissant du corps et du couvercle, disposé à recouvrement au moins partiel du corps. Le couvercle recouvre donc au moins partiellement le corps en première et en seconde positions du corps. [0018] According to one embodiment of the invention, the lid and the body form, in the nested state, in the use configuration of the packaging, and in the second position of the body, a display packaging with the lid arranged above said body. The lid is, in the assembled state with sliding interlocking of the body and the lid, arranged to at least partially overlap the body. The cover therefore at least partially covers the body in the first and second positions of the body.
[0019] Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, l’emballage présentoir affecte la forme d’une colonne. According to one embodiment of the invention, the display packaging has the shape of a column.
[0020] Selon un mode de réalisation de l’invention, le corps est muni, côté fond dudit corps, d’un décroché de la paroi latérale de périphérie du corps pour ménager un espace à l’intérieur duquel au moins une partie du robinet est apte à prendre place en seconde position dudit corps à l’état rapproché du corps et du couvercle. [0020] According to one embodiment of the invention, the body is provided, on the bottom side of said body, with a recess from the peripheral side wall of the body to create a space inside which at least part of the valve is adapted to take place in the second position of said body in the close state of the body and the lid.
[0021] La présence de ce décroché permet d’optimiser la position de fin de course de rapprochement du corps et du couvercle. [0021] The presence of this hook makes it possible to optimize the end-of-travel position for approaching the body and the cover.
[0022] Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, le couvercle est un élément tubulaire comprenant un conduit ouvert à l'une de ses extrémités pour un montage à emboîtement coulissant avec le corps de l'emballage et fermé à son extrémité opposée par une face formant fond, ladite face formant fond étant une face mobile montée mobile entre une position fermée et une position ouverte de ladite extrémité, le conduit étant muni au niveau de son extrémité fermée par la face formant fond d'une encoche formant l'orifice ménagé dans le couvercle à travers lequel le robinet fait au moins partiellement saillie. Cette disposition permet d'introduire la poche de produit par la face formant fond du couvercle dans l'emballage y compris à l'état emboîté du corps et du couvercle de l'emballage. Cette configuration permet également de coupler, au moment de l'insertion de la poche de produit dans l'emballage, la poche au couvercle via le robinet introduit dans l'orifice du couvercle. La réalisation de l'orifice sous forme d'une encoche ouverte en direction de la face formant fond du couvercle rend ce montage particulièrement aisé. [0022] According to one embodiment of the invention, the cover is a tubular element comprising a conduit open at one of its ends for sliding fitting assembly with the body of the packaging and closed at its opposite end by a face forming a bottom, said face forming a bottom being a movable face mounted to move between a closed position and an open position of said end, the duct being provided at its end closed by the face forming a bottom with a notch forming the orifice provided in the lid through which the tap at least partially protrudes. This arrangement makes it possible to introduce the pouch of product through the face forming the bottom of the lid into the packaging, including in the nested state of the body and the lid of packaging. This configuration also makes it possible to couple, at the time of insertion of the pouch of product into the packaging, the pouch to the lid via the valve introduced into the orifice of the lid. The realization of the orifice in the form of an open notch in the direction of the face forming the bottom of the cover makes this assembly particularly easy.
[0023] Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, le distributeur comprend un accumulateur de froid, tel qu'une plaque eutectique ou un bac à glace, ledit accumulateur de fond étant positionnable à l'intérieur de la cavité du corps de l'emballage dans la seconde position du corps. La cavité du corps peut ainsi former une enceinte réfrigérée. According to one embodiment of the invention, the dispenser comprises a cold accumulator, such as a eutectic plate or an ice tray, said bottom accumulator being positionable inside the cavity of the body of the packing in the second position of the body. The body cavity can thus form a refrigerated enclosure.
[0024] L’invention a encore pour objet, un procédé de distribution de produit liquide ou pâteux avec un distributeur de produit liquide ou pâteux conforme à celui décrit ci-dessus, caractérisé en ce que le corps étant initialement en première position, le procédé comprend, pour le passage du corps de la première à la seconde position, une étape de déboîtement du corps du couvercle, une étape de pivotement à 180° du corps et une étape de ré-emboîtement du corps à l’intérieur du couvercle avant actionnement du robinet. [0024] Another object of the invention is a method for dispensing a liquid or pasty product with a liquid or pasty product dispenser conforming to that described above, characterized in that the body being initially in the first position, the method comprises, for the passage of the body from the first to the second position, a step for disengaging the body from the lid, a step for pivoting the body through 180° and a step for refitting the body inside the lid before actuation tap.

[0034] Comme mentionné ci-dessus, l'invention a pour objet un distributeur 1 de produit liquide ou pâteux du type "bag-in-box ®" comme représenté à la figure 7. Le distributeur 1 comprend un emballage 2 extérieur rigide renfermant une poche 3 souple visible, par exemple, à la figure 3. Les termes "rigide" et "souple" s'entendent ici de façon relative. As mentioned above, the invention relates to a distributor 1 of liquid or pasty product of the "bag-in-box ®" type as shown in Figure 7. The distributor 1 comprises a rigid outer packaging 2 containing a flexible pouch 3 visible, for example, in FIG. 3. The terms “rigid” and “flexible” are understood here in relative terms.
[0035] L'emballage 2 rigide est généralement en carton, tandis que la poche 3 souple est en matière plastique. Cette poche 3 souple est donc une poche déformable. Cette poche 3 peut se déformer sous l'effet d'une pression exercée sur ladite poche 3. Cette poche 3 est une poche de stockage du produit liquide ou pâteux à distribuer. Cette poche 3 renferme donc le produit à distribuer avant distribution. The rigid packaging 2 is generally made of cardboard, while the flexible pocket 3 is made of plastic. This flexible pouch 3 is therefore a deformable pouch. This pocket 3 can deform under the effect of pressure exerted on said pocket 3. This pocket 3 is a pocket for storing the liquid or pasty product to be dispensed. This pocket 3 therefore contains the product to be dispensed before dispensing.
[0036] Cette poche 3 est munie d'un robinet 4 d'écoulement. Le robinet 4 est classiquement soudé ou collé par sa base sur l'une des faces de la poche 3. Ce robinet 4 anti-retour d'air est bien connu à ceux versés dans cet art et comprend, dans l'exemple représenté, de manière en soi connue, un corps de robinet disposé verticalement en configuration d'utilisation du distributeur 1 et deux ailes s'étendant de part et d'autre dudit corps, ledit corps du robinet étant raccordé à la poche 3 par une partie appelée base ou col du robinet 4. [0037] L'emballage 2 se présente, quant à lui, sous forme d'une boîte comprenant un corps 5 et un couvercle 6 emboîtable. Ce corps 5 et ce couvercle 6 sont, à l'état emboîté, avec le couvercle 6 venant à recouvrement au moins partiel du corps 5, montés à emboîtement coulissant dans le sens d'un rapprochement ou d'un écartement l'un de l'autre. This pocket 3 is provided with a valve 4 flow. The tap 4 is conventionally welded or bonded by its base to one of the sides of the pocket 3. This non-return air tap 4 is well known to those versed in this art and comprises, in the example shown, manner known per se, a valve body arranged vertically in the configuration for use of the distributor 1 and two wings extending on either side of said body, said valve body being connected to the pocket 3 by a part called the base or faucet neck 4. The package 2 is, meanwhile, in the form of a box comprising a body 5 and a cover 6 nestable. This body 5 and this lid 6 are, in the nested state, with the lid 6 coming into at least partial overlap with the body 5, mounted to fit in sliding in the direction of a rapprochement or a separation from one of the 'other.
[0038] Le corps 5 est un corps creux tubulaire comprenant un fond 8 et une paroi 9 latérale périphérique reliée audit fond 8. Dans les exemples représentés, la paroi 9 latérale périphérique entoure le fond 8. La paroi 9 latérale périphérique délimite avec le fond 8 une cavité 12 ouverte dont l'ouverture est représentée en 11 aux figures. The body 5 is a tubular hollow body comprising a bottom 8 and a peripheral side wall 9 connected to said bottom 8. In the examples shown, the peripheral side wall 9 surrounds the bottom 8. The peripheral side wall 9 delimits with the bottom 8 an open cavity 12 whose opening is shown at 11 in the figures.
[0039] Dans les exemples représentés, le corps 5 est un corps cylindrique de section circulaire, mais tout autre forme de section peut être envisagée sans sortir du cadre de l'invention. In the examples shown, the body 5 is a cylindrical body of circular cross-section, but any other cross-sectional shape can be envisaged without departing from the scope of the invention.
[0040] Le couvercle 6 est également un élément tubulaire et comprend également une face formant fond et une paroi latérale périphérique reliée à ladite face formant fond. Le couvercle 6 vient à recouvrement partiel du corps 5 à l'état monté à emboîtement coulissant du corps 5 et du couvercle 6. [0040] The cover 6 is also a tubular element and also comprises a bottom-forming face and a peripheral side wall connected to said bottom-forming face. The lid 6 partially overlaps the body 5 in the mounted state with sliding interlocking of the body 5 and the lid 6.
[0041] Le distributeur 1 présente au moins une configuration d'utilisation dans laquelle le robinet 4 fait au moins partiellement saillie de l'emballage 2. Dans cette configuration d'utilisation, le distributeur 1 est généralement disposé verticalement avec le couvercle 6 disposé au-dessus du corps 5. The distributor 1 has at least one configuration of use in which the valve 4 projects at least partially from the packaging 2. In this configuration of use, the distributor 1 is generally arranged vertically with the cover 6 disposed at the above the body 5.
[0042] Le robinet 4 fait, en configuration d'utilisation, au moins partiellement saillie de l'emballage à travers un orifice 7 ménagé dans le couvercle 6, comme illustré par exemple aux figures 2 à 6. Le positionnement du robinet 4 en partie haute de l'emballage permet de poser un verre 13 sous le robinet 4 comme illustré aux figures 3 à 6. The valve 4 is, in the configuration of use, at least partially protruding from the packaging through an orifice 7 made in the cover 6, as illustrated for example in Figures 2 to 6. The positioning of the valve 4 partly high of the packaging allows a glass 13 to be placed under the tap 4 as illustrated in FIGS. 3 to 6.
[0043] Dans l'exemple représenté, le distributeur 1 présente en outre une configuration de stockage dans laquelle le robinet 4 est renfermé à l'intérieur de l'emballage 2. En effet, lors du conditionnement, la poche 3 est introduite dans l'emballage 2 en disposant le robinet 4 vers le corps 5 pour un écoulement vers le corps 5 et en regard de l'orifice 7 ménagé dans le couvercle. [0044] Cet orifice 7 est généralement un orifice 7 obturable devant être ouvert. En configuration de stockage, cet orifice 7 est donc fermé. Cet orifice 7 peut être découpé ou préformé. In the example shown, the dispenser 1 also has a storage configuration in which the valve 4 is enclosed inside the packaging 2. Indeed, during packaging, the bag 3 is introduced into the packaging 2 by arranging the tap 4 towards the body 5 for a flow towards the body 5 and facing the orifice 7 made in the cover. This orifice 7 is generally a closable orifice 7 to be opened. In the storage configuration, this orifice 7 is therefore closed. This orifice 7 can be cut out or preformed.
[0045] L'installation du robinet 4, dans la configuration d'utilisation du distributeur 1 , est assurée par l'utilisateur lui-même. Ce dernier enfonce ou déchire la partie préformée ou découpée de la paroi du couvercle obturant l'orifice 7 pour obtenir l'ouverture dudit orifice 7 autorisant le positionnement du robinet 4 en saillie partielle de l'emballage 2 après passage partiel dudit robinet 4 à travers ledit orifice 7 ouvert. [0045] The installation of the valve 4, in the configuration of use of the distributor 1, is provided by the user himself. The latter pushes or tears the preformed or cut part of the wall of the lid closing the orifice 7 to obtain the opening of the said orifice 7 allowing the positioning of the valve 4 partially projecting from the packaging 2 after partial passage of the said valve 4 through said orifice 7 open.
[0046] Généralement, l'orifice 7 ménagé est de dimension suffisante à l'état ouvert pour permettre la préhension du robinet 4 situé dans l'emballage rigide en configuration de stockage et son installation dans l'orifice 7 dans une position d'utilisation dans laquelle le col du robinet 4 coïncide avec le bord de l'orifice 7. Le robinet 4 est ainsi opérationnel. Le passage de la configuration de stockage à la configuration d'utilisation du distributeur 1 est visible aux figures 1 et 2. Generally, the orifice 7 formed is of sufficient size in the open state to allow the gripping of the valve 4 located in the rigid packaging in the storage configuration and its installation in the orifice 7 in a position of use. in which the neck of the tap 4 coincides with the edge of the orifice 7. The tap 4 is thus operational. The passage from the storage configuration to the configuration of use of the distributor 1 is visible in figures 1 and 2.
[0047] En variante, l'orifice 7 peut être ouvert en configuration de stockage. Tel est le cas dans l'exemple de la figure 9. Dans ce mode de réalisation, le couvercle 6 est un élément tubulaire. Cet élément tubulaire peut être de section transversale quelconque en particulier carrée ou circulaire. Cet élément tubulaire comprend un conduit réalisé au moyen d'une paroi latérale périphérique, ce conduit étant ouvert à l'une de ses extrémités pour un montage à emboîtement coulissant avec le corps 5 de l'emballage 2 et fermé à son extrémité opposée par une face formant fond 15. Ladite face formant fond 15 est une face mobile montée mobile entre une position fermée et une position ouverte de ladite extrémité, le conduit est muni au niveau de son extrémité fermée par la face formant fond 15 d'une encoche formant l'orifice 7 ménagé dans le couvercle 6 à travers lequel le robinet 4 fait au moins partiellement saillie. Il est ainsi possible de charger la poche 3 souple dans l'emballage à l'état emboîté du corps et du couvercle de l'emballage. Il en résulte une simplicité du conditionnement. Alternatively, the orifice 7 can be opened in the storage configuration. Such is the case in the example of FIG. 9. In this embodiment, the cover 6 is a tubular element. This tubular element can be of any cross-section, in particular square or circular. This tubular element comprises a duct produced by means of a peripheral side wall, this duct being open at one of its ends for sliding fitting assembly with the body 5 of the packaging 2 and closed at its opposite end by a face forming the bottom 15. Said face forming the bottom 15 is a mobile face mounted to move between a closed position and an open position of the said end, the duct is provided at its end closed by the face forming the bottom 15 with a notch forming the hole 7 made in the lid 6 through which the valve 4 protrudes at least partially. It is thus possible to load the flexible pouch 3 into the packaging in the nested state of the body and the lid of the packaging. This results in simplicity of packaging.
[0048] Comme illustré aux figures 1 et 3, le corps 5 est un corps réversible présentant une première et une seconde positions d'insertion à emboîtement coulissant dans le couvercle 6. Dans la première position du corps 5, l'ouverture 11 de la cavité 10 orientée en direction de l'intérieur de l'emballage 2 est fermée par le couvercle 6. Dans la seconde position du corps 5, l'ouverture 11 de la cavité 10 est orientée en direction de l'extérieur de l'emballage 2 pour être accessible depuis l'extérieur de l'emballage 2. As illustrated in Figures 1 and 3, the body 5 is a reversible body having a first and a second sliding interlocking insertion positions in the lid 6. In the first position of the body 5, the opening 11 of the cavity 10 oriented towards the inside of the packaging 2 is closed by the lid 6. In the second position of the body 5, the opening 11 of the cavity 10 is oriented towards the outside of the packaging 2 to be accessible from the outside of packaging 2.
[0049] Le corps 5 est disposé, dans la première position, au moins dans la configuration de stockage. Ainsi, la poche 3, qui est remplie de produit à distribuer, peut prendre place à l'intérieur de la cavité 12 du corps 5 comme illustré à la figure 1 pour limiter l'encombrement du distributeur 1 à l'état monté à emboîtement coulissant du corps 5 et du couvercle dans la première position dudit corps. The body 5 is arranged, in the first position, at least in the storage configuration. Thus, the pocket 3, which is filled with the product to be dispensed, can take place inside the cavity 12 of the body 5 as illustrated in FIG. of the body 5 and of the lid in the first position of said body.
[0050] Le corps 5 est disposé, dans la seconde position, au moins dans la configuration d'utilisation lorsqu'une vidange de la poche 3 est possible. Le couvercle 6 et le corps 5 forment, à l'état emboîté en configuration d'utilisation de l'emballage 2 et en deuxième position du corps 5, un emballage dit présentoir avec le couvercle 6 disposé au-dessus du corps 5, cet emballage présentoir affectant la forme d'une colonne. Cette colonne peut être de section transversale quelconque. The body 5 is arranged, in the second position, at least in the configuration of use when emptying of the bag 3 is possible. The cover 6 and the body 5 form, in the nested state in the configuration of use of the packaging 2 and in the second position of the body 5, a so-called display packaging with the cover 6 placed above the body 5, this packaging display in the shape of a column. This column can be of any cross section.
[0051] On note, comme illustré à la figure 8, que le corps 5 peut être muni côté fond dudit corps 5 d'un décroché 12 ménagé au niveau de la paroi 9 latérale périphérique du corps 5. Ce décroché 12 est formé par un renfoncement de la paroi 9 latérale périphérique du corps 5 comme illustré à la figure 8. Le rôle de ce décroché 12 sera décrit ci-après. It is noted, as illustrated in Figure 8, that the body 5 can be provided on the bottom side of said body 5 with a hook 12 formed at the level of the peripheral side wall 9 of the body 5. This hook 12 is formed by a recess of the peripheral side wall 9 of the body 5 as shown in Figure 8. The role of this hook 12 will be described below.
[0052] Pour le passage du corps de la première à la seconde position, il convient, comme illustré aux figures 1 à 3, de déboîter le corps 5 du couvercle 6, de pivoter à 180° le corps 5, et de réemboîter le corps 5 à l'intérieur du couvercle 6 en introduisant le corps 5 par son fond 8 à l'intérieur dudit couvercle 6. For the passage of the body from the first to the second position, it is necessary, as illustrated in Figures 1 to 3, to disengage the body 5 from the cover 6, to pivot the body 5 through 180°, and to refit the body 5 inside the lid 6 by introducing the body 5 through its bottom 8 inside said lid 6.
[0053] Dans la seconde position du corps 5, la poche 3 est disposée entre le fond 8 dudit corps 5 et le couvercle 6. Le fond 8 du corps 5 et le couvercle 6 sont ainsi aptes à presser la poche 3 à l'état entraîné en déplacement relatif à coulissement dans le sens d'un rapprochement l'un de l'autre. Ce pressage aide à la vidange de la poche 3, en particulier lorsque la poche 3 est presque vide. En effet, dans la seconde position du corps 5, le fond 8 du corps 5 et le couvercle 6, en particulier la face formant fond du couvercle 6, forment des éléments presseurs aptes à déformer par compression la poche 3 à l'état entraîné en déplacement relatif à coulissement dans le sens d'un rapprochement l'un de l'autre. Le corps 5 est ainsi un pousseur apte à permettre par contact d'appui avec la poche 3 la vidange de la poche 3 à l'état entraîné en déplacement relatif à coulissement du corps 5 et du couvercle 6 dans le sens d'un rapprochement l'un de l'autre. In the second position of the body 5, the pocket 3 is arranged between the bottom 8 of said body 5 and the lid 6. The bottom 8 of the body 5 and the lid 6 are thus able to press the pocket 3 in the state driven in relative sliding movement in the direction of approaching one another. This pressing helps to empty pocket 3, in particular when pocket 3 is almost empty. Indeed, in the second position of the body 5, the bottom 8 of the body 5 and the lid 6, in in particular the face forming the bottom of the cover 6, form pressing elements capable of deforming the pocket 3 by compression in the state driven in relative movement by sliding in the direction of bringing them closer together. The body 5 is thus a pusher able to allow by bearing contact with the pocket 3 the emptying of the pocket 3 in the driven state in relative sliding movement of the body 5 and the lid 6 in the direction of a rapprochement l each other.
[0054] En configuration d'utilisation, quand l'emballage 2 est en disposition verticale avec le couvercle 6 au moins partiellement disposé au-dessus du corps 5, comme illustré à la figure 3 par exemple, le couvercle 6 tend naturellement, sous l'effet de son poids à s'abaisser au fur et à mesure de la vidange de la poche 3 pour venir recouvrir de plus en plus le corps 5 de l'emballage. Ainsi, le niveau de remplissage de la poche peut être repéré aisément visuellement en fonction de la position relative à emboîtement du corps et du couvercle. Il est ainsi possible dans le monde de la restauration d'anticiper un changement de distributeur. [0054] In use configuration, when the packaging 2 is in a vertical position with the lid 6 at least partially disposed above the body 5, as illustrated in Figure 3 for example, the lid 6 tends naturally, under the effect of its weight to lower as the emptying of the pocket 3 to cover more and more the body 5 of the packaging. Thus, the filling level of the pocket can easily be identified visually as a function of the relative interlocking position of the body and the lid. It is thus possible in the world of catering to anticipate a change of distributor.
[0055] En fin de course de rapprochement du corps 5 et du couvercle 6, la poche 3 étant quasiment vide, l'utilisateur peut presser le couvercle 6 en direction du corps 5 pour aider, par compression supplémentaire de la poche 3, à la vidange de la poche 3. [0055] At the end of the approach stroke of the body 5 and the lid 6, the pocket 3 being almost empty, the user can press the lid 6 in the direction of the body 5 to help, by additional compression of the pocket 3, to the bag emptying 3.
[0056] Le corps 5 et le couvercle 6 forment, dans cette configuration d'utilisation, l'un, à savoir le couvercle, un élément presseur mobile, l'autre, à savoir le corps, un élément presseur statique. The body 5 and the lid 6 form, in this configuration of use, one, namely the lid, a movable pressing element, the other, namely the body, a static pressing element.
[0057] Pour permettre une course de déplacement du corps 5 et du couvercle 6 dans le sens d'un rapprochement la plus grande possible, le corps 5 est, comme mentionné ci-dessus, muni côté fond du corps 5 d'un décroché 12. Ce décroché 12 permet de ménager, en seconde position du corps 5 entre la paroi latérale périphérique du corps et la paroi latérale périphérique du couvercle au niveau du fond du corps 5, un espace à l'intérieur duquel au moins une partie du robinet 4 est apte à prendre place en seconde position dudit corps 5 à l'état rapproché du corps 5 et du couvercle 6. To allow movement of the body 5 and the cover 6 in the direction of the greatest possible approximation, the body 5 is, as mentioned above, provided on the bottom side of the body 5 with a hook 12 This hook 12 makes it possible to arrange, in the second position of the body 5 between the peripheral side wall of the body and the peripheral side wall of the lid at the level of the bottom of the body 5, a space inside which at least a part of the tap 4 is able to take place in the second position of said body 5 in the close state of the body 5 and the lid 6.
[0058] Ainsi, en position de fin de course de rapprochement, comme illustré à la figure 6, la poche 3 ressemble à une galette la plus plate possible prise en sandwich entre la face formant fond du couvercle et le fond du corps 5, une partie de la poche étant également prise en sandwich entre la base du robinet et le décroché de la paroi latérale périphérique du corps 5. [0058] Thus, in the end of approach stroke position, as illustrated in Figure 6, the pocket 3 resembles the flattest possible slab sandwiched between the face forming the bottom of the lid and the bottom of the body 5, a part of the pocket also being sandwiched between the base of the valve and the hook of the peripheral side wall of the body 5.
[0059] Toutefois, et comme l'illustre la figure 6, un remplissage d'un verre posé sur un support et disposé sous le robinet 4 reste encore possible en position de fin de course de rapprochement du corps et du couvercle pour permettre un remplissage du verre jusqu'à la vidange complète de la poche. [0059] However, and as shown in Figure 6, filling a glass placed on a support and placed under the valve 4 is still possible in the end of stroke position for approaching the body and the lid to allow filling glass until the bag is completely empty.
[0060] Pour parfaire l'ensemble, le distributeur 1 de produit peut comprendre un accumulateur de froid 14, tel qu'une plaque eutectique ou un bac à glace, ledit accumulateur de fond étant positionnable à l'intérieur de la cavité 10 du corps 5 de l'emballage 2 dans la seconde position du corps 5. Ainsi, une réfrigération du contenu de la poche 3 peut s'opérer. To complete the assembly, the product dispenser 1 may include a cold accumulator 14, such as a eutectic plate or an ice tray, said bottom accumulator being positionable inside the cavity 10 of the body 5 of the packaging 2 in the second position of the body 5. Thus, a refrigeration of the contents of the bag 3 can take place.
[0061] En pratique, le fonctionnement d'un tel distributeur est donc tel que suit. Le distributeur 1 est en configuration de stockage et le corps 5 est en première position comme illustrée à la figure 1 . Dans cette position, idéalement, le fond du corps 5 est en affleurement du bord libre de la paroi latérale périphérique du couvercle et la poche s'étend au moins partiellement à l'intérieur de la cavité dudit corps. Il est procédé à l'ouverture de l'orifice 7 pour le passage en configuration d'utilisation du distributeur comme l'illustre la figure 2 où le robinet 4 fait saillie de l'emballage 2. Le corps 5 est, par déboîtement, sorti du couvercle 2 pivoté à 180° et introduit par son fond dans le couvercle (figure 3) de sorte que la poche restée solidaire du couvercle repose en appui sur le fond du corps 5. Dans cette seconde position du corps 5, le distributeur 1 qui est, en configuration d'utilisation avec le couvercle au-dessus du corps, prêt à fonctionner. Il suffit de placer un verre sous le robinet et de le poser sur le support, tel qu'une table, sur lequel le distributeur repose, puis d'actionner le robinet, par pression sur une partie dudit robinet 4. Au fur et à mesure de la vidange de la poche 3, le couvercle tend naturellement, c'est-à-dire par gravité, à s'abaisser, la poche disposée entre le fond du corps 5 et la face formant fond du couvercle occupant de moins en moins de place comme illustré aux figures 3 et 4. La distribution est poursuivie jusqu'à vidange maximale de la poche 3. Dans cette position de rapprochement du corps et du couvercle, l'utilisateur peut exercer une pression supplémentaire sur le couvercle en direction du corps pour presser de manière supplémentaire la poche. Dans cette position de fin de course de rapprochement, le décroché du corps ménage un espace à l'intérieur du couvercle pour une partie du robinet 4. Une fois la poche vide, il suffit de déboîter à nouveau le corps du couvercle pour retirer la poche et recycler l'emballage. In practice, the operation of such a distributor is therefore as follows. The distributor 1 is in the storage configuration and the body 5 is in the first position as illustrated in FIG. In this position, ideally, the bottom of the body 5 is flush with the free edge of the peripheral side wall of the cover and the pocket extends at least partially inside the cavity of said body. It is proceeded to the opening of the orifice 7 for the passage in configuration of use of the distributor as illustrated in Figure 2 where the valve 4 protrudes from the packaging 2. The body 5 is, by disengagement, taken out of the cover 2 rotated 180° and introduced through its bottom into the cover (FIG. 3) so that the pocket which has remained fixed to the cover rests against the bottom of the body 5. In this second position of the body 5, the distributor 1 which is, in the configuration of use with the cover above the body, ready to operate. It suffices to place a glass under the tap and to place it on the support, such as a table, on which the dispenser rests, then to activate the tap, by pressing on part of the said tap 4. As you go of the emptying of the pocket 3, the lid tends naturally, that is to say by gravity, to lower, the pocket arranged between the bottom of the body 5 and the face forming the bottom of the lid occupying less and less place as illustrated in Figures 3 and 4. The distribution is continued until the maximum emptying of the bag 3. In this position of bringing the body and the cover closer, the user can exert additional pressure on the cover towards the body to further squeeze the pocket. In this approach end-of-travel position, the unhooked body creates a space inside the lid for part of the tap 4. Once the pocket is empty, it suffices to disengage the body from the lid again to remove the pocket and recycle the packaging.
