PROCEDE DE FABRICATION D'UN TUBE DE FORME, ET TUBE DE
FORME EN PARTICULIER A SECTION TRANSVERSALE VARIABLE.METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A SHAPE TUBE, AND TUBE FOR
SHAPE IN PARTICULAR WITH VARIABLE CROSS SECTION.
L'invention est relative à un procédé de fabrication d'un tube de forme à partir d'un flacon. The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a shaped tube from a bottle.
Par l'expression "tube de forme", on désigne un élément tubulaire dont la section peut être variable de long de l'axe du flacon, mais on englobe aussi les tubes à section constante. By the expression "shaped tube" is meant a tubular element the cross section of which can be variable along the axis of the bottle, but the tubes with constant section are also included.
De façon connue, les tubes plastiques souples sont généralement réalisés en deux pièces : un nez de tube (fabriqué par injection) et un corps (fabriqué par extrusion). Il est également possible de réaliser des tubes plastiques souples en une pièce par procédé d'injection. In known manner, flexible plastic tubes are generally produced in two parts: a tube nose (manufactured by injection) and a body (manufactured by extrusion). It is also possible to produce flexible plastic tubes in one piece by injection process.
Cependant, les formes des tubes obtenues par ces techniques sont limitées : en effet, avec les procédés d'extrusion ou d'injection, on ne peut fabriquer que des tubes à section constante. Or, si l'on veut obtenir des tubes de forme spécifiques, notamment avec une section variable le long de l'axe du flacon, les procédés pré-cités ne le permettent pas. However, the shapes of the tubes obtained by these techniques are limited: in fact, with the extrusion or injection processes, it is only possible to manufacture tubes with a constant section. However, if one wishes to obtain tubes of specific shape, in particular with a variable section along the axis of the bottle, the aforementioned methods do not allow this.
D'autre part, les procédés d'injectionsoufflage ou d'extrusion-soufflage utilisés pour réaliser des flacons, notamment des flacons plats appelés flacons-tubes, permettent d'obtenir des formes spécifiques, par exemple à large section transversale ovale, les dimensions de la section pouvant varier le long de l'axe du flacon. On the other hand, the blow-molding or extrusion-blow-molding processes used to produce vials, in particular flat vials called tube vials, make it possible to obtain specific shapes, for example with a large oval cross section, the dimensions of the section can vary along the axis of the bottle.
L'opération de soufflage s'effectue par une partie du flacon constituant un goulot et conduit à l'obtention d'un flacon muni d'un fond, relativement large et rigide. The blowing operation is carried out by a part of the bottle constituting a neck and leads to obtaining a bottle provided with a bottom, relatively wide and rigid.
Un tel flacon, s'il présente l'avantage d'une forme spécifique, notamment à large section ovale qui peut varier, présente des inconvénients dus au fond de flacon relativement large et rigide, qui est gênant pour expulser pratiquement complètement un produit de consistance relativement pâteuse contenu dans le flacon, et qui donne un toucher peu agréable. Such a bottle, if it has the advantage of a specific shape, in particular with a wide oval section which can vary, has drawbacks due to the relatively wide and rigid bottom of the bottle, which is inconvenient for expelling a product of consistency almost completely. relatively pasty contained in the bottle, and which gives an unpleasant touch.
L'invention a pour but, surtout, de fournir un procédé permettant de réaliser des tubes de forme économiques, quelle que soit leur forme, avec n'importe quel type de bouchage, à partir de flacons soufflés et qui ne présentent plus, ou à un degré moindre, les inconvénients évoqués ci-dessus. On souhaite en particulier que les tubes de forme ainsi réalisés soient d'un toucher agréable et permettent d'expulser facilement pratiquement la totalité du produit contenu dans le flacon. The object of the invention is, above all, to provide a process making it possible to produce tubes of economical shape, whatever their shape, with any type of closure, from blown bottles and which no longer exhibit, or to to a lesser degree, the drawbacks mentioned above. In particular, it is desired that the shaped tubes thus produced be of a pleasant feel and allow to easily expel practically all of the product contained in the bottle.
Le procédé de fabrication d'un tube de forme à partir d'un flacon, selon l'invention, est caractérisé par le fait que
- dans une première étape, on réalise un flacon en un matériau semi-souple par injectionsoufflage ou extrusion-soufflage, ce flacon comportant un goulot ouvert et, à l'opposé, un fond fermé ;
- dans une deuxième étape, on exécute l'une des deux opérations suivantes : - soudage des faces principales du flacon sur toute la largeur du flacon, au voisinage du fond ; - coupe de la partie inférieure du flacon, de manière à éliminer le fond du flacon provenant de l'opération de l'injection-soufflage ou d'extrusion-soufflage ;
- et, dans une troisième étape, on réalise l'autre des susdites deux opérations, de sorte que l'on obtient un conditionnement souple sans rigidification de la base.The method of manufacturing a shaped tube from a bottle, according to the invention, is characterized in that
- In a first step, a bottle is made of a semi-flexible material by injection blow molding or extrusion blow molding, this bottle having an open neck and, conversely, a closed bottom;
- In a second step, one of the following two operations is carried out: - welding of the main faces of the bottle over the entire width of the bottle, in the vicinity of the bottom; - cutting of the lower part of the bottle, so as to eliminate the bottom of the bottle from the injection-blowing or extrusion-blowing operation;
- And, in a third step, the other of the above two operations is carried out, so that flexible packaging is obtained without stiffening the base.
Lorsque l'opération de soudage est effectuée avant la coupe, on rapproche l'une de l'autre les faces principales du flacon au voisinage du fond, on soude ces faces au niveau des parties rapprochées, puis on coupe la partie inférieure située au-dessous de la soudure. When the welding operation is carried out before cutting, the main faces of the flask are brought closer to each other in the vicinity of the bottom, these faces are welded at the close parts, then the lower part located above is cut. below the weld.
Les opérations de soudage et/ou de coupe peuvent être effectuées aussi bien dans le moule de soufflage qu'en dehors du moule. Welding and / or cutting operations can be carried out both in the blow mold and outside the mold.
On peut, notamment, couper le flacon soufflé dans le moule et effectuer, ultérieurement, le soudage des bords de l'extrémité coupée en dehors du moule, en particulier après remplissage du flacon par son extrémité ouverte. One can, in particular, cut the blown bottle in the mold and perform, subsequently, the welding of the edges of the cut end outside the mold, in particular after filling the bottle with its open end.
De préférence, on réalise, au cours de la première étape, un flacon de forme non cylindrique. Preferably, a bottle of non-cylindrical shape is produced during the first step.
La section transversale du flacon, par un plan orthogonal à l'axe du goulot, est de préférence ovale, en particulier sensiblement elliptique. The cross section of the bottle, by a plane orthogonal to the axis of the neck, is preferably oval, in particular substantially elliptical.
Cette section, et son périmètre, peuvent être variables suivant la direction de l'axe du goulot. This section, and its perimeter, can be variable along the direction of the axis of the neck.
Les dimensions, notamment la longueur, de la section transversale ovale, passent avantageusement par un maximum pour un niveau situé au-dessus de la partie d'extrémité soudée du tube de forme. The dimensions, in particular the length, of the oval cross-section advantageously pass through a maximum for a level situated above the welded end part of the form tube.
L'invention est également relative à un tube de forme, caractérisé par le fait que sa section transversale présente un périmètre variable et que son extrémité opposée au goulot est fermée par une soudure suivant toute sa largeur. The invention also relates to a shaped tube, characterized in that its cross section has a variable perimeter and that its end opposite the neck is closed by a weld along its entire width.
Avantageusement, la section transversale de ce tube de forme présente un périmètre variable. Dans une variante de réalisation, la section dont le périmètre est maximum est située au-dessus de l'extrémité soudée, lorsque le flacon occupe une position verticale, goulot en haut. Advantageously, the cross section of this shaped tube has a variable perimeter. In an alternative embodiment, the section whose maximum perimeter is located above the welded end, when the bottle occupies a vertical position, neck at the top.
Le goulot est constitué d'une bague de fixation pouvant recevoir tout type de bouchage connu, tel que bouchon ou capsule de fermeture et de distribution notamment fixée par encliquetage, le bouchage pouvant être équipé d'un volet articulé permettant de fermer un orifice de sortie du produit. The neck consists of a fixing ring which can receive any type of known closure, such as a closure or dispensing cap or capsule, in particular fixed by snap-fastening, the closure being able to be fitted with an articulated flap enabling an outlet opening to be closed of the product.
L'invention consiste, mises à part les dispositions exposées ci-dessus, en un certain nombre d'autres dispositions dont il sera plus explicitement question ci-après à propos d'un exemple de réalisation décrit avec référence au dessin ci-annexé, mais qui n'est nullement limitatif. The invention consists, apart from the arrangements set out above, of a certain number of other arrangements which will be more explicitly discussed below in connection with an exemplary embodiment described with reference to the attached drawing, but which is by no means limiting.
La figure 1, de ce dessin, montre, de côté, un tube de forme en cours de réalisation après la première étape d'injection-soufflage ou d'extrusionsoufflage du procédé de l'invention, donnant un flacon. FIG. 1, of this drawing, shows, from the side, a tube of shape being produced after the first injection-blowing or extrusion-blowing step of the process of the invention, giving a bottle.
La figure 2 illustre schématiquement une seconde étape au cours de laquelle les faces du flacon sont rapprochées au voisinage du fond. FIG. 2 schematically illustrates a second step during which the faces of the bottle are brought close to the bottom.
La figure 3 illustre l'étape de soudage des parties des faces mises en contact au-dessus du fond. FIG. 3 illustrates the step of welding the parts of the faces brought into contact above the bottom.
La figure 4 est une vue de face du flacon de la figure 1. Figure 4 is a front view of the bottle of Figure 1.
La figure 5 montre le tube de forme terminé, après découpe de la partie inférieure, pour éliminer le fond. Figure 5 shows the finished shape tube, after cutting the bottom, to remove the bottom.
La figure 6, enfin, est une vue en élévation du tube de forme de la figure 4, muni, sur son goulot, d'une capsule de fermeture équipée d'un volet articulé. Figure 6, finally, is an elevational view of the form tube of Figure 4, provided, on its neck, with a closure capsule fitted with an articulated flap.
En se reportant au dessin, on peut voir que, selon le procédé de l'invention, on réalise dans une première étape, illustrée par la figure 1, un flacon la en matériau souple, par un procédé d'injectionsoufflage ou d'extrusion-soufflage dans un moule (non représenté). Le flacon la est équipé d'un goulot 2 à partir duquel s'effectue l'opération de soufflage conduisant à la formation du flacon avec un fond 3 à l'extrémité opposée au goulot 2. Referring to the drawing, it can be seen that, according to the method of the invention, in a first step, illustrated by FIG. 1, a bottle 1a is made of flexible material, by a process of injection blowing or extrusion- blowing in a mold (not shown). The bottle 1a is equipped with a neck 2 from which the blowing operation is carried out leading to the formation of the bottle with a bottom 3 at the end opposite to the neck 2.
La section transversale du flacon la est ovale ; le flacon la sur les figures 1 à 3 est représenté de profil, la grande dimension des sections transversales étant perpendiculaire au plan des figures 1 à 3, comme visible d'après la figure 4. Sur la figure 6, où le tube de forme terminé 1 est représenté en élévation, on a schématiquement représenté, en tirets, le contour d'une section transversale rabattue, sensiblement elliptique. The cross section of the bottle 1a is oval; the bottle 1a in Figures 1 to 3 is shown in profile, the large dimension of the cross sections being perpendicular to the plane of Figures 1 to 3, as visible from Figure 4. In Figure 6, where the finished form tube 1 is shown in elevation, there is schematically shown, in dashes, the outline of a folded cross section, substantially elliptical.
Les dimensions de la section transversale du flacon la sont avantageusement variables suivant la direction de l'axe A du goulot 2 ; cette variation, qui contribue à donner une forme spécifique au tube de forme 1, est possible grâce au procédé d'injectionsoufflage ou d'extrusion-soufflage utilisé. The dimensions of the cross section of the bottle 1a are advantageously variable along the direction of the axis A of the neck 2; this variation, which contributes to giving a specific shape to the tube of shape 1, is possible thanks to the injection-blowing or extrusion-blowing process used.
Les faces principales 4, 5, ctest-à-dire les grandes faces de ce flacon, sont ensuite rapprochées l'une de l'autre suivant une direction sensiblement perpendiculaire au plan moyen du flacon, comme illustré par les flèches F sur la figure 2. The main faces 4, 5, that is to say the large faces of this bottle, are then brought closer to each other in a direction substantially perpendicular to the mean plane of the bottle, as illustrated by the arrows F in FIG. 2 .
Les zones 6, 7 des parois 4, 5 ainsi rapprochées sont situées au-dessus du fond 3, mais au voisinage de ce fond. Ces zones 6 et 7 sont amenées au contact l'une de l'autre puis soudées sur toute la largeur L (voir figure 6) du flacon, ctest-à-dire suivant toute la dimension du flacon perpendiculaire au plan de la figure 3. The zones 6, 7 of the walls 4, 5 thus brought together are situated above the bottom 3, but in the vicinity of this bottom. These zones 6 and 7 are brought into contact with one another and then welded over the entire width L (see FIG. 6) of the bottle, that is to say along the entire dimension of the bottle perpendicular to the plane of FIG. 3.
Afin de faciliter le soudage des zones 6, 7 des parois 4, 5, les zones 6, 7 peuvent être sensiblement plus minces que les parois 4, 5. In order to facilitate the welding of zones 6, 7 of the walls 4, 5, the zones 6, 7 can be substantially thinner than the walls 4, 5.
On coupe ensuite la partie inférieure du flacon la au niveau des zones 6 et 7 soudées de manière à éliminer le fond 3 provenant de la première opération illustrée sur la figure 1. The lower part of the bottle 1a is then cut at the level of zones 6 and 7 welded so as to eliminate the bottom 3 originating from the first operation illustrated in FIG. 1.
La soudure des zones 6 et 7, puis la coupe de la partie inférieure aux zones 6 et 7 peuvent être effectuées soit dans le moule d'injection ou d'extrusion du flacon la, soit en dehors du moule. En fait, ces deux opérations dans le procédé de fabrication peuvent aussi bien être inversées et s'effecteur dans ou en dehors du moule. Notamment, on peut très bien couper le flacon soufflé dans le moule et effectuer le soudage des extrémités coupées en dehors du moule. On peut, également en dehors du moule, procéder d'abord à la coupe du flacon puis au soudage des extrémités. The welding of zones 6 and 7, then the cutting of the lower part to zones 6 and 7 can be carried out either in the injection or extrusion mold of the bottle 1a, or outside the mold. In fact, these two operations in the manufacturing process may as well be reversed and effector in or out of the mold. In particular, one can very well cut the blown bottle in the mold and carry out the welding of the cut ends outside the mold. It is also possible, outside the mold, to first cut the bottle and then weld the ends.
On obtient alors le tube de forme 1 illustré sur la figure 5, terminé, qui est prêt à être rempli en un produit, notamment pâteux, lors d'une étape ultérieure. We then obtain the form 1 tube illustrated in Figure 5, finished, which is ready to be filled with a product, especially pasty, in a subsequent step.
Comme visible d'après les figures 5 et 6, le tube de forme 1 terminé se présente sous la forme d'une sorte de poche aplatie. Les dimensions de la section transversale ovale de la poche varient le long de l'axe A du récipient. Ces dimensions, dans l'exemple considéré de la figure 5, passent par un maximum pour un niveau nl (auquel correspond une section S1) situé au-dessus de la partie 6, 7 d'extrémité soudée du flacon. As can be seen from Figures 5 and 6, the completed form 1 tube is in the form of a kind of flattened pocket. The dimensions of the oval cross section of the pocket vary along the axis A of the container. These dimensions, in the example considered in FIG. 5, pass through a maximum for a level nl (to which corresponds a section S1) situated above the welded end part 6, 7 of the bottle.
Le périmètre de la section S1 correspond à une valeur maximale. The perimeter of section S1 corresponds to a maximum value.
Dans le cas où le soudage de l'extrémité du tube de forme a lieu avant la coupe du fond, le remplissage du tube de forme en produit s'effectue par le goulot. In the event that the end of the form tube is welded before the bottom is cut, the form tube is filled with product by the neck.
Lorsque le soudage a lieu après la coupe, il est possible de remplir le flacon par son extrémité de fond ouverte, puis de procéder au soudage des bords de cette extrémité ouverte pour obtenir le tube de forme. When the welding takes place after the cut, it is possible to fill the bottle by its open bottom end, then to proceed to the welding of the edges of this open end to obtain the shape tube.
Le goulot 2 du tube de forme, est équipé d'une capsule de fermeture et de distribution 8 dont la paroi extérieure vient terminer le contour du flacon, comme illustré sur la figure 5. Cette capsule 8 se raccorde de manière étanche au goulot 2 et comporte un volet articulé 9 permettant de fermer un orifice de sortie 10 du produit. The neck 2 of the form tube, is equipped with a closure and distribution capsule 8, the outer wall of which completes the outline of the bottle, as illustrated in FIG. 5. This capsule 8 is connected in leaktight manner to the neck 2 and comprises an articulated flap 9 making it possible to close an outlet orifice 10 for the product.
Il est bien entendu que le goulot 2 peut être équipé de tout autre type de bouchage de capsule. It is understood that the neck 2 can be equipped with any other type of cap closure.
Pour une recherche esthétique, le bouchage peut être de forme dans l'alignement du tube.For aesthetic research, the plugging can be shaped in line with the tube.
La surface extérieure du tube de forme peut recevoir un décor et/ou des mentions imprimées. The outer surface of the form tube can receive a decoration and / or printed information.
L'impression peut être effectuée hors du moule, sur le flacon qui est mis sous pression avant la coupe de son fond ; on imprime par des procédés connus, par exemple par sérigraphie. Le décor ainsi appliqué tient compte de la déformation ultérieure apportée au flacon pour obtenir le tube de forme. Printing can be carried out out of the mold, on the bottle which is pressurized before cutting its bottom; printing is carried out by known methods, for example by screen printing. The decoration thus applied takes account of the subsequent deformation brought to the bottle to obtain the shaped tube.
L'impression peut aussi se faire sur le tube de forme. Dans ce cas, on met le tube sous pression, et on procède à l'impression par le procédé connu sous le nom "tampoprint". Printing can also be done on the form tube. In this case, the tube is put under pressure, and the printing is carried out by the process known under the name "tampoprint".
Le procédé de l'invention permet donc d'obtenir une forme spécifique, en particulier ovale de large section, avec un flacon en matière plastique. The method of the invention therefore makes it possible to obtain a specific shape, in particular an oval with a large section, with a plastic bottle.
Le conditionnement obtenu est souple sans aucune rigidification de la base. Il présente un aspect rappelant un tube classique mais qui, au lieu d'être limité au cas d'une enveloppe cylindrique à section transversale constante, peut prendre des formes différentes, à sections transversales variables. The packaging obtained is flexible without any stiffening of the base. It has an aspect reminiscent of a conventional tube but which, instead of being limited to the case of a cylindrical envelope with constant cross section, can take different forms, with variable cross sections.
La fabrication de ce tube de forme est économique quelle que soit sa forme et le tube de forme de l'invention peut être équipé de n'importe quel bouchage. The manufacture of this shaped tube is economical whatever its shape and the shaped tube of the invention can be fitted with any closure.
