Abstract

The invention concerns a flask containing a liquid or a fluid, provided with an extracting system, characterised by a funnel-like device. The bottom end of the tube (3) connected to the extracting system penetrates and permanently remains in the receptacle (1) which corresponds to the funnel spout, and located at the lowest level in the inside space of the flask. Thus, said innovative arrangement enables total consumption of the product contained in the flask. By actuating the pusher of the extracting system, even when there product is nearly exhausted, the tube (3) can suck up the little product which remains causing it to descend by gravity along the wall (2) to end up in the receptacle (1). The inventive flask is particularly designed to contain pharmaceutical products, cosmetics and perfume.

Description

F ACON AVEC DISPOSITIF ENTONNOIR F ACON WITH FUNCTIONAL DEVICE
La présente invention se rapporte aux flacons munis d'un dipositif d'extraction, pulvérisateur ou pompe, contenant un liquide (parfum, eau de toilette, lotion ou analogue) ou un fluide (fond de teint, lait démaquillant, savon gel, crème traitante ou analogue), dans le but de permettre la consommation totale du produit.The present invention relates to bottles fitted with an extraction device, sprayer or pump, containing a liquid (perfume, eau de toilette, lotion or the like) or a fluid (foundation, cleansing milk, gel soap, treating cream). or the like), in order to allow the total consumption of the product.
Elle concerne le flacon lui-même.It concerns the bottle itself.
Le système d'extraction, pulvérisateur ou pompe, n'est pas concerné. Tous les dispositifs d'extraction combinés à un tube qui descend vers le fond existants et couramment employés dans les domaines cosmétique, pharmaceutique, etc., sont parfaitement adaptables à ce flacon conteneur innovant.The extraction system, sprayer or pump, is not affected. All the extraction devices combined with a tube that descends to the bottom existing and commonly used in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, etc. fields, are perfectly adaptable to this innovative container bottle.
Traditionnellement le fond intérieur d'un tel flacon est plat. Ce qui ne facilite pas l'extraction totale du produit. Ainsi, en fin d'utilisation, les consommateurs sont souvent amenés à dévisser ou à défaire la partie supérieure du flacon, pour récupérer ce qui reste au fond. Ce qui n'est ni pratique, ni hygiénique.Traditionally the interior bottom of such a bottle is flat. This does not facilitate the total extraction of the product. Thus, at the end of use, consumers are often led to unscrew or undo the upper part of the bottle, to recover what remains at the bottom. Which is neither practical nor hygienic.
La configuration intérieure du flacon selon l'invention proposée ici permet de remédier à cet inconvénient.The internal configuration of the bottle according to the invention proposed here overcomes this drawback.
- Elle est caractérisée par un dispositif, composé d'un petit réceptacle (1) qui se trouve au niveau le plus bas dans l'espace intérieur du flacon et dans lequel se place l'extrémité inférieure du tube (3) ainsi que d'une paroi (2) qui descend de la paroi du flacon vers l'ouverture dudit réceptacle.- It is characterized by a device, composed of a small receptacle (1) which is at the lowest level in the interior space of the bottle and in which the lower end of the tube (3) is placed as well as a wall (2) which descends from the wall of the bottle towards the opening of said receptacle.
C'est-à-dire, ledit dispositif peut avoir généralement une forme d' ENTONNOIR, dont l'extrémité inférieure du bec est évidemment clos. Ce, pour faire office de réceptacle (1) qui n'aura pas forcément une forme cylindrique. Il peut avoir une forme cubique, demi-sphérique, pyramidale/ ou toute une autre forme. De même que la paroi (2) peut avoir une forme autre que conique. Selon la configuration du flacon, la coupe horizontale de ladite paroi n'est pas forcément circu- laire. Elle peut être ovale, polygonale ou d'une toute autre forme, régulière ou irrégulière. Ledit dispositif peut être fait de la même matière que le flacon, ou d'une toute autre matière tolérée par le produit contenu. Il peut être moulé dans l'ensemble du corps de flacon, ou posé et scellé sur le fond, tel une "prothèse". Bien entendu, il ne doit pas y avoir d'espace entre ledit dispositif et la paroi du flacon.That is to say, said device can generally have a form of FUNNEL, whose lower end of the spout is obviously closed. This, to act as a receptacle (1) which will not necessarily have a cylindrical shape. It can have a cubic, semi-spherical, pyramidal / or any other shape. Similarly, the wall (2) can have a shape other than conical. Depending on the configuration of the bottle, the horizontal section of said wall is not necessarily circular. It can be oval, polygonal or any other shape, regular or irregular. Said device can be made of the same material as the bottle, or of any other material tolerated by the product contained. It can be molded in the whole body of the bottle, or placed and sealed on the bottom, like a "prosthesis". Of course, there should be no space between said device and the wall of the bottle.
L'espace entre le fond extérieur et ledit dispositif peut être massif ou creux, en fonction de la matière utilisée pour le flacon, et selon l'intention du fabricant. - L'extrémité inférieure du tube (3) lié au dispositif d'extraction doit pénétrer dans le réceptacle (1) et s'y trouver de façon permanente. Pour cela, l'idéal serait que l'ouverture dudit réceptacle se trouve dans l'axe vertical du système P extraction, pour assurer la meilleure liaison, par le tube (3), entre le réceptacle (1) et le pulvérisateur ou la pompe.The space between the outer bottom and said device can be solid or hollow, depending on the material used for the bottle, and according to the intention of the manufacturer. - The lower end of the tube (3) linked to the extraction device must penetrate into the receptacle (1) and be there permanently. For this, the ideal would be that the opening of said receptacle is in the vertical axis of the extraction system P, to ensure the best connection, by the tube (3), between the receptacle (1) and the sprayer or the pump. .
- Si la configuration du flacon ne permet pas la descente et la pénétration verticale du tube (3) vers le réceptacle (1), avec certains types de flacons-fantaisie, l'emploi d'un tube plus souple ou la conception d'un réceptacle spécial- If the configuration of the bottle does not allow the vertical descent and penetration of the tube (3) towards the receptacle (1), with certain types of fancy bottles, the use of a more flexible tube or the design of a special receptacle
(coupe verticale courbe ou trapésoïdale ) sont envisageables, pour assurer le séjour de l'extrémité du tube (3) dans le réceptacle ( 1 ) .(curved or trapezoidal vertical section) are possible, to ensure the stay of the end of the tube (3) in the receptacle (1).
- L'espace entre l'extrémité inférieure du tube (3) et le fond du réceptacle (4) est variable selon la densité du produit, restreint pour un liquide, plus grand pour un fluide visqueux.- The space between the lower end of the tube (3) and the bottom of the receptacle (4) is variable according to the density of the product, restricted for a liquid, larger for a viscous fluid.
- L'espace entre le tube (3) et les côtés intérieurs du réceptacle est variable selon la densité du produit, rest- reint pour un liquide, plus grand pour un fluide visqueux.- The space between the tube (3) and the interior sides of the receptacle is variable according to the density of the product, restricted for a liquid, larger for a viscous fluid.
- Le degré d'inclinaison de la paroi (2) du dispositif par rapport à l'axe vertical du flacon est variable selon la densité du produit, pas très aigu pour un liquide, plus aigu pour un fluide visqueux. Ce, pour faciliter la descente vers le réceptacle (1).- The degree of inclination of the wall (2) of the device relative to the vertical axis of the bottle is variable according to the density of the product, not very acute for a liquid, more acute for a viscous fluid. This, to facilitate the descent to the receptacle (1).
Le flacon ainsi innové permet une utilisation plus pratique et hygiénique de la totalité de son contenu. Car, avec les actionnements du poussoir du système d'extraction, même à la fin, le tube (3) peut aspirer le peu de produit restant, qui descend par gravité le long de la paroi (2) du dispositif, pour se retrouver dans le réceptacle (1). Bien entendu, ce dispositif qui a généralement une forme d' ENTONNOIR peut être en ligne continue depuis la paroi du flacon jusqu'au fond du réceptacle (4) en terminant en pointe ou en arrondi . ( coupes verticales FIG 2 et FIG 3 )The bottle thus innovated allows a more practical and hygienic use of all of its contents. Because, with the actuations of the pusher of the extraction system, even at the end, the tube (3) can suck up the little remaining product, which descends by gravity along the wall (2) of the device, to end up in the receptacle (1). Of course, this device, which generally has a FUNNEL shape, can be in a continuous line from the wall of the bottle to the bottom of the receptacle (4), ending in a point or in a rounded shape. (vertical sections FIG 2 and FIG 3)
Le flacon selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné à contenir des produits pharmaceutiques et cosmétiques. The bottle according to the invention is particularly intended to contain pharmaceutical and cosmetic products.
