Definitions

  • a one-piece molded plastic bottle has a body portion, a supporting base, and a suspension device.
  • the suspension device is in the form of a bail that fits in a peripheral recess or rebate about the base of the body.
  • the present invention relates to flasks of flexible material with a supporting base, and is more particularly concerned with flasks of this type intended to contain injectable medical products.
  • the flask is inverted and is suspended by a device provided for that purpose at the end of the flask opposite to the outlet of the product.
  • the suspension devices are fixed on the base itself and comprise either eyelets moulded together with the flask and intended to receive subsequently a suspension member, or a handle moulded in one single piece and permitting directly the suspension of the flask.
  • these flasks may be of the supporting base type, that is to say they can rest normally on their base, these suspension devices are arranged inside a central shallow recess in the base and are designed either to be folded back into this central recess, protected by a peripheral zone which supports the base, or to have suflicient height so that they do not normally project from this supporting zone.
  • suspension device when the suspension device can be folded back, its own elasticity may be sufiicient to interfere with the stability of the empty flask and even that of a full flask. In consequence, the various handling operations of the flask, such as storage, filling or conditioning, are thereby hampered.
  • the fixing of the suspension device inside a shallow recess in the base limits the dimensions of this device to those of the space available in this shallow recess.
  • the result is that the suspension device is much smaller than those generally employed for the usual equivalent glass flasks.
  • the hooking attachment of the flask may be rendered more difiicult and access to the base for the purpose of adding additional medical substances and the placing in position of an air-intake are rendered less easy.
  • the present invention has for its object a flask of flexible material with a supporting base, which eliminates these drawbacks.
  • a flask of flexible material with a supporting base is characterized by the provision, around at least a part of the base, of a stowage space formed by a rebate in the body above the said base in order to permit the folding back and the housing of the suspension device which, according to a preferred form of embodiment, is a handle moulded in one single piece during the moulding of the flask.
  • An arrangement of this kind makes it possible to keep the base completely free, especially for the purpose of the ultimate provision of any desired device such as an air-intake.
  • access to these devices is facilitated by the fact that, as the points of attachment of the suspension handle are transferred to the immediate proximity of the walls of the flask body, the handle has a span corresponding to the diameter of the flask, in the same way as that fixed on the usual glass flask.
  • an arrangement for fastening the suspension device in the folded-back position, which facilitates the vertical stability of the flask by preventing effects due to the elasticity of the material, and in consequence assisting its automatic filling and conditioning.
  • FIG. 1 is a view in elevation of a flask according to the invention, the suspension handle being in the extended position;
  • FIG. 2 is a side view of this flask, the suspension handle being fastened in the folded-back position;
  • FIG. 3 is a view looking on the underside of this flask
  • FIG. 4 is a view similar to that of FIG. 3, and relates to an alternative form of construction.
  • the flask according to the invention is provided with a suspension handle 13, the arms of which enclose an elbowed central section 15 and are coupled to the horizontal wall 11 of the stowage space 10 at attachment points 16 which are symmetrically arranged on each side of a central plane of the flask. In the vicinity of their points of attachment 16, the arms 14 are locally thinned-down at 20.
  • the wall 17 of the stowage space 10 has a transverse section of which one half follows the contour of the handle 13 while the other half follows the contour of the walls of the body 18 of the flask, and recessed with respect to the said walls.
  • the wall 17 is provided with a transverse fastening lip 19, which extends laterally on each side of its plane of symmetry, to correspond with the elbowed portion 15 of the handle 13.
  • the handle 13 In the closed or folded-back position shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the handle 13 is engaged on the lip 19 by its elbowed portion 15, and the locking action which results makes it possible to ensure that, in spite of its inherent elasticity, the handle 13 remains in the folded-back posinon.
  • the thin portions 20 facilitate this folding-back movement.
  • the handle 13 in the foldedback position, the handle 13 is wholly contained advantageously within the apparent contour of the flask.
  • the handle 113 permits direct hooking or" the flask in the inverted position, its elbowed portion 15 then facilitating the centering of the flask.
  • the Wall 17 of the stowage space follows, as to one half, the contour of the handle 13 and is to the other half, it is in the extension of the walls of the body 18, so that the stowage space 10 is only associated with one part of the lower periphery of the body 18.
  • the Wall 17 is symmetrical with respect to the line of attachment of the handle 13, which enables the handle 13 to be folded back either to one side or to the other.
  • the present invention is not limited to the forms of construction chosen and shown, but includes all alternative forms of execution, especially as regards the contour of the suspension handle and in consequence of the wall of the stowage space and also as re ards the transverse section of the flask.
  • the base can be fitted with any necessary device, such as an airintake for example, which can be arranged inside a recessed portion of this base, and that in addition the suspension device adopted could be of any other type than the handle more particularly described.
  • a flask of flexible material with a supporting base comprising, molded in one single piece, a body portion, a supporting base and a suspension device; a stowage space disposed around at least part of said base in the region of the outer periphery thereof, said stowage space being constituted by a rebate formed in said body above said base so as to permit the folding-back and the housing of said suspension device inside the actual contour of said body.
  • a flask of flexible material with a supporting base comprising, molded in one single piece, a body portion, a supporting base and a suspension device; the flask having a stowage space comprising a rebate formed in said body above said base so as to permit the folding back and housing of said suspension device inside the actual contour of said body, the inner side of said rebate being bounded by an outwardly facing wall that extends about at least a portion of the periphery of said base.
