Abstract
Description
L'invention concerne des tubes à usage unique, pour produits devant hêtre utilisés en une seule fois. The invention relates to single-use tubes for beech products to be used all at once.
Il existe un grand nombre de produits, solides ou liquides, qui sont conditionnés sous forme d'une dose a utiliser en une seule fois soit qu'il s'agisse de la dose nécessaire soit que le produit s'altère pendant sa conservation après ouverture du conteneur, soit encore pour toute autre raison. A titre d'exemple, on peut citer les produits destinés a être dissous ou dilués dans une quantité déterminée de liquide, par exemple dans le domaine des produits d'entretien, le domaine pharmaceutique, alimentaire, ainsi que plus particulièrement les doses homéopathiques (dose-globules ou dose-poudre). There are a large number of products, solid or liquid, which are packaged in the form of a dose to be used at once, either as the necessary dose or as the product deteriorates during its conservation after opening. container, or for any other reason. By way of example, mention may be made of products intended to be dissolved or diluted in a determined quantity of liquid, for example in the field of cleaning products, in the pharmaceutical, food sector, as well as more particularly in homeopathic doses (dose -globules or dose-powder).
Il est important dans de tels cas que l'utilisateur soit sur de la qualité et de la quantité initiales du produit et soit incité à utiliser en une seule fois tout le produit contenu. Il faut donc que le bouchon ou élément de fermeture présente un caractère d'inviolabilité et ne puisse pas resservir. It is important in such cases that the user is sure of the initial quality and quantity of the product and is encouraged to use all of the contained product at once. It is therefore necessary that the cap or closure element has a character of inviolability and cannot be used again.
L'invention fournit une solution simple å ce problème, gracie à un tube à usage unique en matière plastique moulée, comportant un corps de tube dont une extrémité venue de moulage est fermée et a un diamètre extérieur au maximum égal au diamètre intérieur du corps du tube et une extrémité ouverte & fermer par une coupelle apres remplissage, une zone de fragilité état revue entre le corps de tube et l'extrémité fermée. The invention provides a simple solution to this problem, thanks to a disposable tube made of molded plastic, comprising a tube body of which one end molded is closed and has an outside diameter at most equal to the inside diameter of the body of the tube and one end open & close with a cup after filling, a zone of fragile state revised between the body of the tube and the closed end.
Selon une première variante, la zone de fragilité est située entre la paroi interne du corps du tube et la paroi latérale de l'extrémité fermée. Dans un tel cas, l'extrémité fermée peut obturer le corps du tube lorsqu'elle a le diamétre maximum mais est alors très difficile à enlever. According to a first variant, the zone of weakness is located between the internal wall of the body of the tube and the side wall of the closed end. In such a case, the closed end can close off the body of the tube when it has the maximum diameter but is then very difficult to remove.
Selon une seconde variante, la zone de fragilité est située entre le corps de tube et un rebord de l'extrémité ouverte de même diamètre extérieur que le corps du tube, le reste de l'extrémité ayant un diamètre extérieur inférieur au diamètre intérieur du corps de tube. Dans ce cas, le rebord empêche 11 extrémité fermée de pénétrer complètement dans le corps de tube mais du fait du plus faible diamètre du reste de l'extrémité fermée, celle-ci ne tient pas en place et ne peut pas servir de bouchon. According to a second variant, the brittleness zone is situated between the tube body and an edge of the open end of the same outside diameter as the tube body, the rest of the end having an outside diameter less than the inside diameter of the body. of tube. In this case, the flange prevents the closed end from completely penetrating the tube body, but because of the smaller diameter of the rest of the closed end, the latter does not hold in place and cannot serve as a stopper.
Dans les deux cas, le tube se fabrique par moulage de façon simple et économique. In both cases, the tube is produced by molding in a simple and economical manner.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront à la lecture de la description détaillée suivante, faite en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels
la Fig. 1 est une vue partiellement en coupe d'un premier tube selon l'invention,
la Fig. la est une vue agrandie d'un détail du tube selon la Fig. 1,
la Fig. 2 est une vue partiellement en coupe d'un second tube selon l'invention,
la Fig. 2a est une vue agrandie d'un detail du tube selon la Fig. 2.Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear on reading the following detailed description, made with reference to the accompanying drawings in which
Fig. 1 is a partially sectional view of a first tube according to the invention,
Fig. 1a is an enlarged view of a detail of the tube according to FIG. 1,
Fig. 2 is a partially sectional view of a second tube according to the invention,
Fig. 2a is an enlarged view of a detail of the tube according to FIG. 2.
Sur les Fig. I et 2, la moitié gauche des tubes est représentée en coupe alors que la moitié droite est une vue de face. Les figures la et 2a sont des vues agrandies au niveau de la zone de fragilité du tube des Fig. 1 et 2 respectivement (zones X et Y). In Figs. I and 2, the left half of the tubes is shown in section while the right half is a front view. FIGS. 1 a and 2 a are enlarged views at the level of the zone of weakness of the tube of FIGS. 1 and 2 respectively (zones X and Y).
Selon le premier mode de réalisation de l'invention. According to the first embodiment of the invention.
un tube å usage unique en matière plastique rigide moulée comporte un corps de tube 1 dont une extrémité 2 est ouverte. Après remplissage, cette extrémité sera fermée par une coupelle 3 enfoncée à force dans l'extrémité 2, un épaulement de la coupelle venant buter contre un décrochement du corps de tube. Cette coupelle, généralement en matière plastique souple ou rigide peut contenir un déshydratant, un agent d'absorption des odeurs, etc ... comme cela peut s'avérer nécessaire dans le domaine d'utilisation du tube.a single-use tube of rigid molded plastic material comprises a tube body 1, one end 2 of which is open. After filling, this end will be closed by a cup 3 forced into the end 2, a shoulder of the cup abuts against a drop in the tube body. This cup, generally made of flexible or rigid plastic material, may contain a desiccant, an odor absorbing agent, etc., as may be necessary in the field of use of the tube.
L'autre extrémité du corps de tube est une extrémité fermee 4, venue de moulage avec le corps de tube 1, a un diamètre extérieur au plus égal au diamètre intérieur du corps de tube et sa paroi latérale 4a pénètre sur une faible hauteur à l'intérieur du corps de tube, en s'affinant vers l'intérieur et en formant ainsi une zone de fragilité 5 entre le corps de tube 1 et l'extrémité fermée 4. En faisant tourner l'extrémité 4 par rapport au corps de tube 1, on casse le tube et on libère son contenu. Pour faciliter cette ouverture, la partie extérieure de l'extrémité fermée 4 est striée, cannelée, molettée, etc .... Sur les figures, des cannelures 6 sont représentées a titre d'exemple. The other end of the tube body is a closed end 4, molded with the tube body 1, has an outside diameter at most equal to the inside diameter of the tube body and its side wall 4a penetrates over a small height at l inside the tube body, tapering inwards and thus forming a zone of weakness 5 between the tube body 1 and the closed end 4. By rotating the end 4 relative to the tube body 1, the tube is broken and its contents released. To facilitate this opening, the outer part of the closed end 4 is striated, grooved, knurled, etc. In the figures, grooves 6 are shown by way of example.
Dans la seconde variante représentée sur les Fig. 2 et 2a, QU des numéros de référence identiques désignent les mêmes éléments que sur les Fig. 1 et la, l'extrémité fermée 7 comporte h son niveau inférieur un rebord latéral 8 de diamètre égal au diamètre extérieur du corps de tube 1, une zone de fragilité 9 résultant de la présence d'une entaille en forme de coin par exemple. La présence d'une partie lisse 10 de diamètre égal ou non h celui de la partie de faible diamètre est facultative. In the second variant shown in FIGS. 2 and 2a, QU identical reference numerals designate the same elements as in FIGS. 1 and there, the closed end 7 has at its lower level a lateral rim 8 of diameter equal to the outside diameter of the tube body 1, a zone of weakness 9 resulting from the presence of a notch in the form of a wedge for example. The presence of a smooth part 10 of diameter equal or not to that of the small diameter part is optional.
Pour éviter que l'utilisateur ne soit tenté, après rupture de la zone de fragilité 8, de reboucher le tube en retournant l'extrémité 4, il est avantageux que le diamètre extérieur de l'extrémité 7 tant au niveau d'une éventuelle partie lisse 10 que la paroi latérale 7a, soit inférieur au diamètre interne du corps de tube 1 pour que cette extrémité 7 ne tienne pas en place. To prevent the user from being tempted, after rupture of the zone of weakness 8, to recap the tube by turning the end 4 over, it is advantageous for the outside diameter of the end 7 both at the level of a possible part smooth 10 that the side wall 7a is less than the internal diameter of the tube body 1 so that this end 7 does not hold in place.
Un tel tube, que ce soit celui de la Fig. 1 ou celui de la Fig. 2 ainsi que d'autres variantes, peut etre fabriqué en diverses matières plastiques moulées et en très nombreuses dimensions, selon le produit qu'il est destiné à contenir. Il trouve toutefois une application particulièrement intéressante dans le domaine du conditionnement des doses homéopathiques. Such a tube, whether that of FIG. 1 or that of FIG. 2 as well as other variants, can be manufactured in various molded plastics and in very numerous dimensions, depending on the product it is intended to contain. However, it finds a particularly interesting application in the field of conditioning homeopathic doses.
