Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device or method for fixing a metering member, in particular a pump, inside a container containing a product to be dispensed, and applies more particularly to dispensers at low doses. , used in the field of perfumes, cosmetics or pharmaceutical products.
- the diameters of the necks of the containers may vary slightly due to their manufacture, which may prevent correct fixing of the pump body in said neck of the container.
- a press fit of the pump body itself can in certain cases cause a tightening of said pump body and thus cause friction inside the pump which can impair its operation.
- Another device disclosed in document DE-31 22 982, provides for a snap-fastening of the pump body on a bead of the neck of the container.
- This device has the drawback of requiring special container necks and of not being adaptable to a standard neck.
- the present invention aims to avoid the aforementioned drawbacks by providing a simple and inexpensive fixing device for fixing the body of a metering member, such as a pump, in the neck of a container, while compensating for the dimensional tolerances of said container neck.
- the device of the invention therefore adapts to any container neck, standard or not, the dimensions of which may vary slightly during its manufacture.
- the present invention therefore relates to a device for fixing a metering member, such as a pump, comprising a body, in a neck of a container containing a product to be dispensed, said body of the metering member comprising a portion of smaller diameter and a portion of larger diameter, the maximum outside diameter of said body being less than the inside diameter of said neck, a housing being formed in said neck of the container, said housing being adapted to receive a deformable member which, at the mounted state of the fixing device, is deformed and / or compressed so that it exerts a radial force on said neck and on said body, said force ensuring the tight fixing of the metering member in the neck of the container , said deformable member being adapted, before mounting, on said portion of smaller diameter and being deformed and / or compressed in the housing, during assembly, by said portion of larger diameter of the body of one metering member.
- a metering member such as a pump
- This implementation allows very easy assembly. Indeed, the establishment of the deformable member on the part of smaller diameter is very easily since the deformable member is not subject to any stress. Then, the deformation of the deformable member is carried out only on the part of larger diameter and not over the entire height of the pump body during its fitting in the neck of the container. Assembly is therefore easier and more reliable. In particular, this deformation and / or compression is obtained by applying a vertical force to the body of the metering member, this force being transmitted to the deformable member.
- said parts of different diameters of the body of the metering member are connected by a conical part so that the deformation and / or compression of the deformable member is achieved progressively during assembly.
- the housing has a cross-sectional shape that is approximately square or rectangular.
- said deformable member has, before mounting the fixing device, a shape different from that of the housing, the mounting of the fixing device forcing by deformation and / or compression said deformable member to conform approximately to the shape of said housing, so that said deformable member exerts forces on the walls of said housing.
- the invention also relates to a method for fixing a metering member, such as a pump, comprising a pump body having an upper part of larger diameter and a lower part of smaller diameter , in a container neck containing a product to be dispensed, said neck comprising an annular housing, comprising the steps of: placing a deformable member on said portion of smaller diameter of the body of the metering member; - Arrange the metering member on the neck of the container, said deformable member being received in said housing of the neck; and press fit the body of the metering member into the neck of the container so that the deformable member is deformed and / or compressed in the housing by said portion of larger diameter of the body of the metering member, thus ensuring the tight fixing of said metering member in the neck of the container.
- FIG. 1 represents a schematic view in vertical section of the fixing device according to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, before assembly
- FIG. 2 represents a schematic view in vertical section of the device of FIG. 1, after assembly.
- the metering assembly of the invention comprises a container 1 having a cylindrical neck 2 and containing a product to be dispensed.
- the container can be of any shape and made of any material, generally glass or plastic.
- a metering member 10 is provided, said metering member 10 comprising a body 11.
- said metering member 10 is a pump allowing a selective distribution of the product, and the following description will be made with reference to a pump.
- the outside diameter of said pump body is less than the inside diameter of said cylindrical neck 2 of container 1.
- a housing 20 intended to receive a deformable member 30 which is preferably flexible and elastic.
- said deformable member 30 is annular and is intended to adapt to the housing 10 also annular which extends circumferentially around the neck 2, so that in the assembled state of the fixing device, said deformable member 30 ensures both the fixing of the pump in the neck and the seal at said neck.
- the elastic deformable member 30 may have, before the mounting of the fixing device, a shape different from that of the housing 30 and during mounting of the fixing device, said deformable member 30 is forced by compression to conform approximately to the shape of said housing 30.
- the housing 20 is produced in the neck 2 of the container 1, preferably at its upper end.
- the deformable member 30 can, before mounting, be placed in the housing 20, but preferably it is placed on the pump body 11.
- the pump body 11 has a lower portion 11a of smaller diameter and an upper portion 11b of larger diameter.
- the deformable member 30 adapts on the part 11a of smaller diameter and at the start of the fitting of the pump body 11 into the neck, it first fits into the housing 20 of the neck. Then, the deformable member 30 is compressed and / or deformed by the part 11b of larger diameter, thus creating the radial force on the neck 2 and the pump body 11 which ensures the tight fixing of these two elements.
- the pump 10 includes a vent hole 50 which can be provided in the larger diameter portion 11b of the pump body 11, provided that it is in the assembled state of the device below the deformable member. 30 ensuring the tight fixing of the pump on the container.
- the two parts 11a and 11b of the pump body 11 are connected to each other by a conical part, so that the deformation and / or compression of the deformable member 30 takes place gradually during assembly, facilitating the latter .
- the housing 20 has a shape in approximately square or rectangular cross section, as does the deformable member 30.
- the dimensions of the housing and of the deformable member do not exactly correspond, in order to generate the deformation and / or the compression of the deformable member 30 in the housing 20.
- any other vertical section of the deformable member is conceivable provided that it does not correspond exactly in shape and in size, to the vertical section of the housing 20, which can also be arbitrary.
- the deformable member 30 is forced to conform approximately to the shape of said housing 20, thus exerting the radial forces on the neck and the pump body to ensure fixing and sealing.
