Description

RÉCIPIENT COMPORTANT UN INSERT BACTÉRICIDE  CONTAINER COMPRISING A BACTERICIDE INSERT
DESCRIPTIONDESCRIPTION
DOMAINE TECHNIQUE TECHNICAL AREA
L'invention concerne un récipient pour le stockage et la distribution d'un produit fluide tel que par exemple un produit cosmétique, qui est conçu pour limiter une éventuelle prolifération de bactéries dans le produit fluide. The invention relates to a container for the storage and dispensing of a fluid product such as for example a cosmetic product, which is designed to limit a possible proliferation of bacteria in the fluid product.
L'invention propose plus particulièrement un récipient comportant des moyens de substitution à des additifs chimiques.  The invention more particularly proposes a container comprising means of substitution with chemical additives.
ÉTAT DE LA TECHNIQUE ANTÉRIEURE De nombreux produits fluides, tels que par exemple des produits cosmétiques, sont contenus dans des récipients fermés hermétiquement, pour éviter toute oxydation du produit et pour éviter la contamination du produit par des bactéries par exemple. STATE OF THE PRIOR ART Many fluid products, such as, for example, cosmetic products, are contained in hermetically sealed containers, in order to prevent any oxidation of the product and to prevent contamination of the product by bacteria for example.
De tels récipients comportent notamment un corps souple ou rigide dont les parois sont hermétiques à l'air et à tout autre type de polluant, et un embout de distribution du produit.  Such containers comprise in particular a flexible or rigid body whose walls are airtight and to any other type of pollutant, and a product dispensing tip.
Afin d'éviter l'oxydation du produit, le récipient comprend un embout de distribution qui est conçu pour ne permettre que la sortie du produit, on parle alors d'embout de type "airless". Un tel embout est conçu pour s'ouvrir dans le sens de la sortie de produit et pour se refermer automatiquement dès que la quantité désirée de produit est sortie.  In order to avoid the oxidation of the product, the container comprises a dispensing tip which is designed to allow only the outlet of the product, it is called "airless" type tip. Such a tip is designed to open in the direction of the product outlet and to close automatically as soon as the desired amount of product is output.
Le récipient est alors conçu pour être déformable et comprimable au fur et à mesure que le produit est prélevé. En effet, en appliquant une pression sur les parois du récipient une pression est formée dans le récipient, provoquant la sortie du produit.  The container is then designed to be deformable and squeezable as the product is removed. Indeed, by applying pressure on the walls of the container a pressure is formed in the container, causing the product to exit.
Le document FR-A-3.011.826 décrit un embout de distribution du type Document FR-A-3,011,826 describes a dispensing nozzle of the type
"airless", permettant d'empêcher toute contamination du produit restant à l'intérieur du récipient, que ce soit lorsque l'on fait sortir une certaine quantité du produit hors du récipient, ou bien lorsqu'un utilisateur prélève le produit sorti. "airless", to prevent any contamination of the product remaining inside the container, either when a certain amount of product is taken out of the container, or when a user takes the product out.
Ainsi, de nombreuses solutions existent pour protéger le produit contre d'éventuelles contaminations provenant de l'extérieur du récipient.  Thus, many solutions exist to protect the product against possible contamination from outside the container.
La conservation du produit en tant que tel, à l'intérieur du récipient, est réalisée par l'utilisation de composés conservateurs tels que par exemple des antioxydants, des anti moisissures, des bactéricides, virucides, ou antifongiques.  The preservation of the product as such inside the container is achieved by the use of preservative compounds such as, for example, antioxidants, anti-molds, bactericides, virucides or antifungals.
De tels composés peuvent avoir un effet néfaste, notamment lorsque le produit dans lequel ils sont utilisés, est un produit cosmétique destiné à être appliqué sur la peau.  Such compounds may have a deleterious effect, especially when the product in which they are used, is a cosmetic product intended to be applied to the skin.
C'est pourquoi il a été proposé de commercialiser des produits ne comportant pas de tels composés. Pour assurer une bonne durée de conservation, il a alors été proposé de durcir les conditions d'hygiène et de stérilité des sites de production, ce qui s'avère particulièrement complexe et coûteux à mettre en œuvre.  This is why it has been proposed to market products that do not contain such compounds. To ensure a good shelf life, it was then proposed to tighten the conditions of hygiene and sterility of production sites, which proves particularly complex and expensive to implement.
L'invention a pour but de proposer un récipient qui est conçu pour limiter la prolifération d'éventuels éléments polluants dans le produit qui est contenu dans le récipient.  The invention aims to provide a container that is designed to limit the proliferation of possible pollutants in the product that is contained in the container.
EXPOSÉ DE L'INVENTION STATEMENT OF THE INVENTION

EXPOSÉ DÉTAILLÉ DE MODES DE RÉALISATION PARTICULIERS Figure 3 is a schematic representation of another container having an insert according to an alternative embodiment of the invention. DETAILED PRESENTATION OF PARTICULAR EMBODIMENTS
On a représenté aux figures 1 et 2 un récipient 10 pour contenir un produit fluide ou liquide. Ce produit peut être par exemple une crème cosmétique ou un gel. FIGS. 1 and 2 show a container 10 for containing a fluid or liquid product. This product may be for example a cosmetic cream or a gel.
Le récipient 10 comporte un corps creux 12 qui est ici de forme allongée, et il est obtenu à partir d'un tube cylindrique dont une extrémité inférieure 12a est aplatie pour fermer celle-ci. Selon le mode de réalisation représenté aux figures 1 et 2, le corps 12 est réalisé en un matériau souple, tel qu'un matériau plastique. Il peut aussi être réalisé en un matériau ductile facilement déformable.  The container 10 comprises a hollow body 12 which is here of elongate shape, and it is obtained from a cylindrical tube whose lower end 12a is flattened to close it. According to the embodiment shown in Figures 1 and 2, the body 12 is made of a flexible material, such as a plastic material. It can also be made of a ductile material easily deformable.
Le récipient 10 comporte aussi un embout 14 de distribution du produit, par lequel le produit est destiné à être prélevé par l'utilisateur.  The container 10 also comprises a tip 14 for dispensing the product, whereby the product is intended to be taken by the user.
Selon le mode de réalisation représenté aux figures 1 et 2, l'embout 14 obture l'extrémité supérieure 12b du corps 12.  According to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the end piece 14 closes off the upper end 12b of the body 12.
En outre, ici, l'embout 14 de distribution du produit est un embout qui ne permet que la sortie du produit, c'est-à-dire qu'il empêche quoi que ce soit de pénétrer à l'intérieur du volume intérieur du récipient 10, que ce soit une certaine quantité du produit qui aurait été sortie du récipient, ou bien de l'air.  In addition, here, the dispensing tip 14 of the product is a tip that allows only the exit of the product, that is to say, it prevents anything from entering the interior of the interior volume. container 10, whether a certain amount of the product that would have been taken out of the container, or air.
Cet embout 14 est un embout du type appelé "airless". Il consiste ici en un embout tel que décrit dans le document FR-A-3.011.826 auquel on se reportera pour plus de détails sur la structure ou le fonctionnement.  This tip 14 is a tip of the type called "airless". It consists here of a tip as described in FR-A-3.011.826 to which reference will be made for details on the structure or operation.
Grâce à cet embout 14, le volume intérieur du récipient 10 est isolé de l'extérieur et plus particulièrement de tout élément polluant qui pourrait provoquer une oxydation ou une contamination par bactéries du produit présent à l'intérieur.  With this nozzle 14, the interior volume of the container 10 is isolated from the outside and more particularly from any pollutant element which could cause oxidation or contamination by bacteria of the product present inside.
Il se peut qu'une contamination du produit puisse avoir lieu avant la première utilisation, par exemple lors du processus de fabrication du produit, ou bien lors de son introduction dans le récipient 10, malgré les nombreuses précautions pouvant être mises en place sur site.  It may be that contamination of the product can take place before the first use, for example during the manufacturing process of the product, or during its introduction into the container 10, despite the many precautions that can be implemented on site.
Pour éviter toute prolifération de cette contamination dans le produit, le récipient 10 comporte au moins un insert 16 qui est disposé dans le volume intérieur du corps 12 et qui est en permanence en contact avec le produit contenu dans le récipient 10. To avoid any proliferation of this contamination in the product, the container 10 comprises at least one insert 16 which is arranged in the interior volume of the body 12 and which is permanently in contact with the product contained in the container 10.
L'insert 16 est réalisé à base d'un matériau bactéricide. A titre d'exemples non limitatifs, le matériau bactéricide est de préférence du cuivre, il peut aussi être de l'argent.  The insert 16 is made of a bactericidal material. As non-limiting examples, the bactericidal material is preferably copper, it can also be silver.
Dans le cas du cuivre, lorsqu'il vient en contact avec le produit, l'insert 16 libère des ions Cu++ qui ont un effet bactéricide.  In the case of copper, when it comes into contact with the product, the insert 16 releases Cu ++ ions which have a bactericidal effect.
Selon un premier mode de réalisation, l'insert est réalisé à partir d'un autre matériau, tel qu'un matériau plastique ou un autre métal, qui est recouvert, par placage ou par dépôt, par le matériau bactéricide. Cela permet notamment de réduire le cout de production de I'insertl6.  According to a first embodiment, the insert is made from another material, such as a plastic material or another metal, which is covered, by plating or deposition, with the bactericidal material. This in particular makes it possible to reduce the cost of producing the insert.
Selon un autre mode de réalisation, l'insert 16 est réalisé en totalité avec ce matériau bactéricide.  According to another embodiment, the insert 16 is made entirely with this bactericidal material.
Selon le mode de réalisation représenté aux figures 1 et 2, l'insert 16 se présente sous la forme d'une grille sensiblement plane, qui s'étend le long d'un plan principal médian du récipient.  According to the embodiment shown in Figures 1 and 2, the insert 16 is in the form of a substantially flat grid, which extends along a median main plane of the container.
Ici, ce plan médian est le plan vertical selon l'orientation des figures, qui passe par l'extrémité inférieure plane 12a du corps 12. Ainsi, selon un mode de réalisation particulier, une extrémité inférieure de l'insert 16 est située au niveau de l'extrémité inférieure 12a du corps 12 et elle est maintenue dans le corps 12 par la déformation permanente par l'écrasement de l'extrémité inférieure 12a du corps 12, lors de la fermeture cette extrémité inférieure 12a du corps 12.  Here, this median plane is the vertical plane in the orientation of the figures, which passes through the flat lower end 12a of the body 12. Thus, according to a particular embodiment, a lower end of the insert 16 is located at the of the lower end 12a of the body 12 and it is maintained in the body 12 by the permanent deformation by crushing the lower end 12a of the body 12, during closure that lower end 12a of the body 12.
La forme en grille de l'insert 16 permet d'augmenter la surface de contact de l'insert 16 avec le produit contenu dans le récipient, ce qui permet de traiter une plus grande quantité de produit.  The grid shape of the insert 16 makes it possible to increase the contact surface of the insert 16 with the product contained in the container, which makes it possible to treat a larger quantity of product.
Selon une variante de réalisation non représentée, le récipient comporte un ou plusieurs inserts se présentant sous la forme de billes en matériau bactéricide ou recouvertes du matériau bactéricide. Ces billes sont aptes à se déplacer librement dans le récipient, pour pouvoir venir en contact avec la totalité du produit contenu. Ces billes présentent en outre l'avantage de permettre une homogénéisation du produit qui est brassé par celles-ci lors de leur déplacement dans le récipient. According to an alternative embodiment not shown, the container comprises one or more inserts in the form of beads of bactericidal material or covered with bactericidal material. These beads are able to move freely in the container, to be able to come into contact with the entire product content. These beads also have the advantage of allowing homogenization of the product which is stirred by them during their movement in the container.
De plus, les parois du corps 12 étant souples, cela permet de brasser le produit dans le récipient 10 à chaque manipulation de celui-ci, augmentant encore la quantité de produit qui vient en contact avec l'insert 16, que ce soit lorsqu'il se présente sous la forme d'une grille ou bien sous la forme d'une ou plusieurs grilles.  In addition, the walls of the body 12 being flexible, it allows the product to be stirred in the container 10 at each manipulation thereof, further increasing the amount of product that comes into contact with the insert 16, whether when it is in the form of a grid or in the form of one or more grids.
Selon une variante de réalisation, le récipient comporte un second insert 18 situé au niveau de l'embout 14 de distribution du produit.  According to an alternative embodiment, the container comprises a second insert 18 located at the tip 14 of the product distribution.
Ce second insert 18 est ici aussi réalisé sous la forme d'une grille à base de matériau bactéricide, qui est conformée en forme de trémie, séparant l'ouverture de l'embout 14 au volume intérieur du corps 12.  This second insert 18 is here also produced in the form of a bactericidal material-based grid, which is shaped like a hopper, separating the opening of the endpiece 14 from the inside volume of the body 12.
Ici, le second insert 18 comporte une grille cylindrique 20 sensiblement coaxiale à l'axe principal vertical de l'embout 14 et une grille de fond 22 à l'extrémité inférieure de la grille cylindrique.  Here, the second insert 18 comprises a cylindrical grid 20 substantially coaxial with the vertical main axis of the nozzle 14 and a bottom grid 22 at the lower end of the cylindrical grid.
Grâce à ce second insert 18, le produit qui s'écoule vers l'embout 14 de distribution est forcé à traverser la grille constituant le second insert 18. Cette quantité de produit vient alors en contact avec le matériau bactéricide, qui exerce alors son action sur le produit.  With this second insert 18, the product flowing to the dispensing nozzle 14 is forced through the grid constituting the second insert 18. This amount of product then comes into contact with the bactericidal material, which then exerts its action. on the product.
Cela permet de distribuer du produit qui a été stérilisé au préalable. This allows to distribute product that has been sterilized beforehand.
La forme et les dimensions du second insert 18 sont définies pour permettre de traiter une quantité moyenne de produit qui est prélevée à chaque utilisation. The shape and dimensions of the second insert 18 are defined to allow the processing of an average amount of product that is withdrawn at each use.
On a représenté à la figure 3 un autre récipient 30 à parois rigides. Par exemple, le récipient est réalisé à partir de verre.  There is shown in Figure 3 another container 30 with rigid walls. For example, the container is made from glass.
Ce récipient 30 comporte ici aussi un corps 32 dans lequel le produit est stocké et un embout 34 de distribution ouvert. Cet embout 34 est apte à recevoir un couvercle non représenté de fermeture de l'ouverture de l'embout 34.  This container 30 here also comprises a body 32 in which the product is stored and a dispensing tip 34 open. This tip 34 is able to receive a not shown lid for closing the opening of the tip 34.
Selon ce mode de réalisation, le produit est prélevé directement à partir de l'ouverture de l'embout 34, par exemple avec un doigt ou un outil approprié. Ce récipient comporte un insert 36 aménagé dans le corps 32. Cet insert est lui aussi réalisé à base d'un matériau bactéricide, tel que décrit précédemment, comme par exemple il est réalisé à base de cuivre. According to this embodiment, the product is taken directly from the opening of the tip 34, for example with a finger or a suitable tool. This container has an insert 36 formed in the body 32. This insert is also made of a bactericidal material, as described above, such as for example it is made of copper.
Pour ne pas gêner le prélèvement de produit, l'insert 36 est plaqué contre les parois du corps 32.  In order not to impede the taking of product, the insert 36 is pressed against the walls of the body 32.
Ici, l'insert 36 consiste en une grille recouvrant la paroi cylindrique et la paroi de fond du corps 32. Selon une variante, l'insert consiste en une feuille à base du matériau bactéricide, ou bien consiste en une couche du matériau bactéricide, qui est appliqué sur ces parois.  Here, the insert 36 consists of a grid covering the cylindrical wall and the bottom wall of the body 32. According to one variant, the insert consists of a sheet based on the bactericidal material, or consists of a layer of the bactericidal material, which is applied on these walls.
Les caractéristiques dimensionnelles de la grille constituant chaque insert 16, 18, 36 c'est-à-dire son pas et l'épaisseur de chaque barre sont définies en fonction du produit, notamment en fonction de sa viscosité.  The dimensional characteristics of the grid constituting each insert 16, 18, 36, that is to say its pitch and the thickness of each bar are defined according to the product, in particular according to its viscosity.
Un tel insert 16, 18, 36 permet de stériliser le produit présent dans le récipient 10 à tout moment, et quelles que soient les conditions d'utilisation du récipient.  Such an insert 16, 18, 36 can sterilize the product present in the container 10 at any time, and whatever the conditions of use of the container.
II en résulte une meilleure hygiène et une sécurité d'utilisation pour tout utilisateur et une réduction des coûts de commercialisation du produit dans un tel récipient puisque les contraintes d'hygiène du site de production peuvent être réduites.  This results in better hygiene and safety of use for any user and a reduction in the costs of marketing the product in such a container since the hygiene constraints of the production site can be reduced.
Le récipient 10, 30 vient d'être décrit pour contenir un produit cosmétique. Il sera compris qu'un tel récipient peut être utilisé pour tout type de produit fluide, que ce soit pour un produit cosmétique, un produit pharmaceutique ou un produit alimentaire notamment.  The container 10, 30 has just been described to contain a cosmetic product. It will be understood that such a container can be used for any type of fluid, whether for a cosmetic product, a pharmaceutical product or a food product in particular.
Aussi, il a été mentionné ci-dessus que le matériau constitutif de l'insert 16 peut être du cuivre ou de l'argent. Il sera compris que ces deux matériaux sont des exemples non limitatifs de l'invention et que chaque insert 16 peut être réalisé à partir d'alliage de l'un et/ou l'autre de ces deux matériaux ou bien à partir de tout autre matériau ou alliage ayant des propriétés bactéricides et qui est aussi chimiquement compatible avec le produit fluide destiné à être contenu dans le récipient.  Also, it has been mentioned above that the constituent material of the insert 16 may be copper or silver. It will be understood that these two materials are non-limiting examples of the invention and that each insert 16 can be made from alloy of one and / or the other of these two materials or from any other material or alloy having bactericidal properties and which is also chemically compatible with the fluid product to be contained in the container.
