Description

CONTAINER HAVING A COVER PROVIDED WITH A

HANGING DEVICE.

  The present invention relates to a container having a lid provided with a hooking device. When using toiletries or hygiene, such as liquid soap, shower gel, shampoo or the like, it is known that the container containing the toilet product tends to slip from the user's hands, especially when

these are wet.

  To remedy this drawback, we have

  provided to provide the containers with devices for hanging said containers, for example, at the

tubing of the bathroom.

  It is also known that the containers intended, in particular, to contain toilet or hygiene products, are constituted by a bottle comprising a neck and a lid which comprises the

  device for capping the neck of the bottle. This provision

  sitive is most often constituted by a cap having an upper surface on which takes a skirt of such shape that it can adapt by

  screwing or snapping on the neck of the bottle. How-

  For reasons of aesthetics generally, the closure device is inserted into a wider cover called "shape" which is placed on the shoulder of the bottle connecting the neck to the body of the bottle. In the covers having a shaped cover, there is, when the container is closed, a free internal space which surrounds the cap portion of the lid and the neck of the bottle. In the rest of the text, the terms "inner free space"

designate this space.

  German patent application DOS No. 3,716,586 proposes a fastening system consisting of a closed bead partially disposed inside a cover having a free internal space and partially outside the cover, which is fixed at a point to the inner wall of the lid and which slides through an opening of the

  cover between a storage position and a posi-

  hooking. This system has the disadvantage that it remains, in storage position, outside the cover, a cord loop which is troublesome for

  storage because it can be hooked by accident.

  On the other hand the difference in the dimensions of the loop between the storage position and the position

  hanging is weak. In addition, the cord is dif-

  easy to attach to the inner wall of the lid.

  The present application relates to an attachment device which avoids these disadvantages. In addition it allows to easily bring the device

  in a plane parallel to the longitudinal axis

nal of the container.

  The present invention relates to a container having a lid provided with a hooking device and a bottle on which is fixed the lid, the lid having a free inner space and the hooking device sliding through an opening in the lid between a retracted position and an extended position, characterized in that the attachment device is constituted by a stirrup comprising two flexible lateral guides connected at one of their ends by a central bar, the central bar being arranged at the outside the lid, the end of the lateral guides opposite the bar being disposed inside the lid, the lateral guides being able to slide each through an opening in the lid, from the inside to the outside of the lid or vice -versa between an output position and a retracted position and a tilting device for tilting the caliper, lor sque the side guides are out of the o

  the stirrup is in a plane close to a perpendicular plane

  the longitudinal axis of the container, at a hooking position where the stirrup is in a neighboring plane

  a plane parallel to the longitudinal axis of the container.

  According to a preferred embodiment, the lateral guides slide over at least part of their travel along a slideway. In this case the lateral guides then slide, preferably

  also along the wall of the lid.

  The lateral guides may be in the form of ribbons or circular section wires. They curl along the wall of the lid and

  friction lock when the stirrup is in position

  return. According to a first version of

  containers according to the invention, the lateral guides

  ples have at rest the shape corresponding to the outward position; in this case the lateral guides are generally rectilinear. According to a second version of the invention, the lateral guides have at rest a

  form corresponding to the entered position, that is,

  usually say a curved shape.

  - The openings have the shape and dimensions

  sections of the lateral guides section, with the exception of the clearance needed for the lateral guides

can slide.

  The central bar of the stirrup is

  tighter, more rigid than the lateral guides

  ples. This rigidity is obtained either by using a plastic material different from that of the guides, or, preferably, by giving the bar a greater thickness and / or a greater width. The central bar preferably has a shape complementary to the outer wall of the lid on which it rests when the lateral guides

are in the retracted position.

  According to a preferred embodiment of

  the invention, the tilting device is

  staged by a harpoon hook provided for

  the end of each of the lateral guides, said crozier

  chet comprising a hooking portion having, on the one hand, an inner notch of such a shape that it can be slipped over the thickness of the outer wall of the lid in the hooking position and on the other hand has a rounded portion likely to roll on the edge of the opening, and having a

  tongue located in the extension of the hook sus-

  able to rely on the inner wall of the cover

key in latching position.

  The slides are arranged inside the lid. They are fixed on the wall of the cover in the vicinity of the opening, so that the lateral guides are disposed between the wall of the cover and said slides. They preferably have a shape such that they push the lateral guides towards the wall so that said lateral guides slide on the inner wall of the lid. Side guides can be

  consisting of partitions fixed to the bottom of the cover

  or may be solid masses also fixed

at the bottom of the lid.

  The device of the present invention functions

  is as follows. When the stirrup is in

  position, the user pulls on the center bar

  until the side guides are

  position taken in a plane close to a plane

  dicular to the longitudinal axis of the container then it tilts the stirrup so as to bring it in a plane close to a plane parallel to the longitudinal axis of the container, the bar of the stirrup being placed beyond

  the part of the lid furthest from the bottle.

  The harpoon-shaped device both pockets the side guides to fully come out of the lid and allows the side guides to roll on the rim of the opening in the lid during tilting. The container can then be hung. When

  the user wants to retract the caliper, he makes

  reverse the latter, then press the central bar to return the caliper in the cover. The friction of the side guides of the caliper in the opening in the lid, on the slides and on the inner wall of the lid is sufficient to lock the stirrup -in retracted position. When the stirrup comprises molded guides 15. according to the hooking position, the elasticity of the guides helps the stirrup to come out of the cover and when the stirrup has mold guides in the closed position, the elasticity of the guides helps the stirrup to

  return to its closed position and to the

hold in this position.

  To better understand the purpose of

  the invention will be described hereinafter, purely

  illustrative and not limiting, a method of

  embodiment shown in the accompanying drawing.

  In this drawing: FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a container according to the closed invention in which the stirrup is in the hooking position;

  FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view

  dinal of the container of Figure i; FIG. 3 is a sectional view along the

  line 111-111 of Figure 2, in which the provision

  suspending device is in retracted position; - Figure 4 is also a sectional view along the line 111-111 of Figure 2 showing the attachment device in the extended position; FIG. 5 is a sectional view with

  tearing along the line V-V, of Figure 4

  the tilting of the fastening device of the

  exit position at the snap position.

  In Figures I to 5 the container is designated by the overall reference 1. It is seen that it has a generally cylindrical shape, oval section. The

  container 1 consists of a bottle 2, a cover

  cle 3 and a hooking device 4. In the following

  of the description the different positions will be

  data for a bottle resting on a flat surface

by the bottom of the bottle.

  The bottle 2 has a bottom 21 and side walls 22. At its upper part it has a neck of circular section 24 which is connected to the side walls 22 by a shoulder 23. At the junction between the side walls 22 and

  the shoulder 23 is provided with an annular groove 25.

  The neck 24 has an annular groove 26 and an annular surface 27 inclined outwards whose maximum thickness is in the vicinity of the groove 26. The lid 3 has an oval-shaped flat upper portion 31 on which is fixed a lateral skirt 32 whose lower rim is inserted into the annular groove 25 when the lid is attached to the bottle 2. The lid 3 is fixed on the neck 24 of the bottle 2 with a device 33 having two concentric skirts:

  an outer skirt 34 and a skirt 35 internal to the neck.

  The lower rim of the outer skirt 34 is fixed by snapping into the groove 26 of the neck. The inner skirt 35 is shorter than the outer skirt 34

  and fits inside the neck 24.

  Between the skirt 32 of the lid 3, the skirt 34 of the device 33, the shoulder 23 of the bottle and the upper part of the lid there is a free internal space E. In this free internal space, the lid 3 carries a slideway 36 formed by a partition perpendicular to the cover 31 having the form shown in FIG. 3. This partition is symmetrical with respect to the minor axis of the section

  oval of the lid. This partition has two parts

  rectilinear 36L inclined outwardly relative to the minor axis of the oval section of the lid and two other straight portions 36k tangent to the neck. The two rectilinear portions 36a of mime that the two rectilinear portions 36b are connected between

they by curve arcs.

  In the lid 3 are pierced two openings

  37 and 37D arranged symmetrically beyond

  the slideway 36, with respect to the minor axis of the section

  cross section of the lid. These openings are rectangular, the longest side being parallel

  Generators of the skirt 32 of the cover.

  The stirrup 4 consists of two lateral guides 41a and 41b connected at one of their ends by a bar 42. The lateral guides 41a and 41b are

  consisting of two strips of flexible plastic material.

  The bar 42 is, according to the embodiment shown, a thicker and wider plastic strip, which gives it greater rigidity than that of the lateral guides. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the bar 42 has the same curvature as the part of the skirt 32 on which it rests. In this way the bar does not emerge substantially from the wall of the lid and thus does not have a character

  unsightly or annoying character.

  The end of the lateral guides 41 & and 41b

  wears a harpoon 43 (see Figure 5). This harpoon 43

  carries a hook 44 having a rounded portion 44a and defining a notch 44b of width close to the thickness of the skirt 32 so that the skirt can be inserted therein. Said harpoon 43 also comprises a tongue 45 arranged to be able to rest on the inner wall of the skirt 32 when the stirrup is in the hooking position. In the closed position, as shown in Figure 3, the bar 42 of the caliper is disposed against the outer wall of the skirt 32 of the cover and the lateral guides 41a and 41b are retracted into the inner space E of the cover between the slide 36 and the inner wall of the skirt 32; the lateral guides are supported on a certain length, at their end, against the inner wall of the skirt furthest from the part carrying the openings 37p, 37b and on the slideway 36 on a part closer to the bar. The friction of the lateral guides against the wall of the skirt 32, on the slideway 36 and in the openings 37a and 37b suffices to pocket the stirrup to come out under the action of the elasticity of the guides.

lateral 41a, 41b.

  When the user wishes to hook the container 1, he pulls on the bar 42 of the stirrup 4, which slides the lateral guides 41a and 41b on the inner wall of the skirt 32, on the slides 36 and through the openings 37a and 37b until the harpoon ends 43 of the guides 41a and 41b block the latter. The elasticity of the guides

  side 41k, 41b helps to remove the stirrup 4.

  The stirrup 4 is then in the position shown in FIG. 4 and in FIG.

solid lines.

  The user then tilts the stirrup 4 by making, for each lateral guide 41, roll the rounded portion 44p of the hooks 44 of the harpoons 43 on the lower edge of the openings 37a or 37k so that, on the upper edge of the opening, * Zú adn el ap aina1; pxe aoied el ozee; oe-uoo ua euua, Sl Ze aeq el anb eo q, nbsn Ze adn el ap To4ed el aa; uoo stnd 9g aJassil [el ae; uoo q la ei xnwejgeI sapn "sael JaSSlInOo aeve; y uoot ep ZV ajeuq el ans assnod i1 sind 'axlios uoflsod el eeeeqooxooep uoiltsod el ap' esje sued uas jalxi jalnoseq el el 4uaeldloaz el 9qooio9p x; o Soe 'zaza;, 1l Jaejuae aeisgp inalesjljn , the anbsior aeqeooaooe.p uo ;;; sod ue ls * = lilg, J aeloiaAnoo np;.
