- the present invention relates to a collecting container for dispensing products of a certain viscosity, such as shampoos or bath products.
- a collecting pouring container intended to receive a liquid product, comprising an outlet tube whose free end is shaped to constitute a pouring spout, said outlet tube being surrounded by a sleeve constituting the neck of the container and connected to the sleeve by a surface oblique to the axis of the outlet tube, having, when the axis of the outlet tube is vertical, a low point located at the opposite the spout with respect to the axis of the outlet tube and in the vicinity of which is an orifice.
- the product thread joins the recovery surface. This, by its shape, returns it to the inside of the bottle. This is to prevent product from flowing along the outer walls of the bottle.
- a pouring container as described in EP-A-0 109 704 has drawbacks.
- the pouring spout is formed over the entire periphery of the outlet tube, which makes it necessary to provide for indexing of the orifice provided at the low point of the oblique surface, during the pouring operation, said indexing being here obtained by providing a handle on the container positioned accordingly.
- the external wall of the outlet tube is entirely smooth and the products risk flowing on this wall in any direction, following a relatively long path before reaching the oblique surface, and therefore dry, especially when they have a certain viscosity.
- the present invention provides a device making it possible in particular to overcome such drawbacks.
- the present invention therefore relates to a collecting pouring container, intended to receive a liquid product, comprising an outlet tube whose free end is shaped to constitute a pouring spout, said outlet tube being surrounded by a sleeve constituting the neck of the container and connected to said sleeve by a surface oblique to the axis of the outlet tube, having, when the axis of the outlet tube is vertical, a low point located opposite the spout relative to the axis of the outlet tube and in the vicinity of which is an orifice, characterized in that the spout is shaped on a fraction of the periphery of the free end of the tube outlet included in a dihedral whose edge is the axis of the outlet tube and whose angle is less than 180 °, the low point of the collecting surface being in the dihedral opposite to that which contains the spout and that the outlet tube carries, on the part of its outer wall included in the dihedral delimiting the pouring s
- the fins are radial; they are arranged just below the spout; they are terminated in their upper part close to the pouring spout, by an oblique edge relative to the axis of the outlet tube; the set of fins comprises long fins and short fins, a short fin being interposed between two adjacent long fins.
- the outlet tube in its zone of contact with the collecting surface of the sleeve, is bordered by a sealing bead which rests on said surface.
- the collecting surface is entirely disposed below the edge of the sleeve closest to the free end of the outlet tube.
- the outlet tube is delimited, in the region of its free end where the spout is not spared, by an oblique plane with respect to its axis.
- the outlet tube and the sleeve are coaxial cylinders of circular cross section, the fixing of the outlet tube on the sleeve being effected by snap-fastening of the end of the outlet tube which is opposite to its free end, in a sheath practiced in the central area of the recovery surface.
- the low point of the collecting surface is in the plane of symmetry of the dihedral which contains the spout; the orifice, formed at the low point of the collecting surface is extended towards the interior of the container by an evacuation pipe.
- the recovery pouring container comprises an outlet tube 1, connected to a sleeve 2 via a flat recovery surface 3.
- the outlet tube 1 and the sleeve 2 are formed for example by two coaxial cylinders of circular cross section.
- the flat surface 3 is oblique to the axis of these two coaxial cylinders 1 and 2.
- This surface 3 has, when the axis of the tube is vertical, a low point in the vicinity of which is formed an orifice 4 of section smaller than that of the outlet tube 1.
- This orifice 4 is extended towards the inside of the container by a cylindrical evacuating duct 5.
- the outlet tube 1 is fitted at one of its ends inside a cylindrical sheath 12, of circular cross section and the walls of which are directed from the collecting surface 3 towards the interior of the container.
- the sleeve 12 has the same axis as the outlet tube 1 and an inside diameter equal to the outside diameter of the outlet tube 1. It has, at its end furthest from the surface 3, an inner annular projection 13, intended to receive an inner annular recess formed on the outer surface of the outlet tube 1, towards its extreme edge inside the container.
- the outlet tube 1 is therefore secured to the sheath 12 by snap-fastening.
- the free end of the outlet tube 1 is shaped to constitute a pouring spout 6 over a fraction of its periphery included in a dihedral whose edge 6 a is the axis of the outlet tube 1 and whose angle ⁇ is less 180 °.
- the orifice 4 in the vicinity of the low point of the collecting surface 3 is located in the dihedral opposite to that which contains the pouring spout 6, in its plane of symmetry.
- the outlet tube 1 carries on its outer wall, included in the dihedral delimiting the pouring spout 6, fins or short strips 7 and fins or long strips 8 radial and substantially parallel to the axis of the outlet tube 1.
- Each short fin 7 is interposed between two adjacent long fins 8.
- These fins 7 and 8 are arranged just below the spout 6 and are terminated in their upper part close to the spout 6 by an edge 9 oblique to the axis of the outlet tube 1.
- This series of vertical fins realizes a very effective drip cutter for so-called "stringy" products.
- the collecting surface 3 is entirely disposed below the end of the sleeve 2 closest to the free end of the outlet tube 1, the sleeve 2 being extended beyond the surface 3 and on the side opposite the container by an edge 10.
- the contact zone of the outlet tube 1 with the collecting surface 3 is bordered by a sealing bead 11 of annular shape which rests on the flat surface 3 and which is parallel to it.
- the area of the end of the outlet tube 1 where the spout 6 is not spared is delimited by an oblique plane with respect to the axis of the outlet tube.
- the planar collecting surface 103 is connected to the sleeve 102 by means of the edge 110 which extends it cylindrically parallel to the outlet tube 101.
- This border 110 is terminated at its end by a flange 150 having a cross section substantially in the form of an inverted U, disposed towards the outside of the collecting surface 103.
- This flange 150 surrounds and covers the sleeve 102.
- On the internal face of the edge external of this rim 150 is an internal latching protuberance 151 formed towards its end around the entire periphery of said end.
- the end of the sleeve 102 opposite the bottom of the container has an annular spoiler 152 of triangular shape on which the flange 150 is snapped on.
- the end of the flange 150 is blocked on the triangular spoiler 152 by the protuberance internal snap-in 151.
- the part of the sleeve 102 located between the bottle and the rim 150 forms a cylinder with an outside diameter slightly greater than the largest outside diameter of the rim 150.
- This part of the sleeve 102 furthermore comprises a screwing coil 157 helically on which can be screwed a cap associated with the container.
- the walls of the sheath 112 are directed from the surface 3 towards both the interior and the exterior of the container. Its end directed towards the interior of the container is limited by a plane, orthogonal to the axis of the outlet tube 101 and passing through the point of intersection between the surface 103 and the sheath 112 which is the lowest when the axis of the outlet tube 101 is vertical.
- a small recess is formed on the outer edge of the sleeve 112. This recess is located in the plane of symmetry, on the side of the orifice 104, and is intended to receive the end of a radial projection 158 which is provided with the surface outside of the outlet tube 101, in the plane of symmetry thereof, on the side opposite to the pouring spout 106.
- the free end of the outlet tube 101 is cut by an oblique plane with respect to the axis of the tube, of which the highest point when the outlet tube 101 is vertical is on the spout 106, in its plane of symmetry.

Description
La présente invention est relative à un récipient verseur récupérateur destiné à distribuer des produits d'une certaine viscosité, comme par exemple des shampooings ou des produits pour le bain.The present invention relates to a collecting container for dispensing products of a certain viscosity, such as shampoos or bath products.
De tels produits posent souvent des problèmes de propreté. Ces produits sont, en effet, versés en basculant les flacons qui les contiennent. Le débit en est arrêté en redressant ces flacons, mais, à cause de leur viscosité, il en subsiste toujours un fil qui coule et sèche sur les parois extérieures des flacons.Such products often pose problems of cleanliness. These products are, in fact, poured out by tilting the bottles that contain them. The flow is stopped by straightening these vials, but, because of their viscosity, there is always a thread flowing and drying on the outer walls of the vials.
Il a déjà été proposé, notamment dans EP-A-0 109 704, un récipient verseur récupérateur, destiné à recevoir un produit liquide, comportant un tube de sortie dont l'extrémité libre est conformée pour constituer un bec verseur, ledit tube de sortie étant entouré d'un manchon constituant le goulot du récipient et relié au manchon par une surface oblique par rapport à l'axe du tube de sortie, présentant, lorsque l'axe du tube de sortie est vertical, un point bas situé à l'opposé du bec verseur par rapport à l'axe du tube de sortie et au voisinage duquel est ménagé un orifice.It has already been proposed, in particular in EP-A-0 109 704, a collecting pouring container, intended to receive a liquid product, comprising an outlet tube whose free end is shaped to constitute a pouring spout, said outlet tube being surrounded by a sleeve constituting the neck of the container and connected to the sleeve by a surface oblique to the axis of the outlet tube, having, when the axis of the outlet tube is vertical, a low point located at the opposite the spout with respect to the axis of the outlet tube and in the vicinity of which is an orifice.
Une fois le flacon redressé et le débit interrompu par les bords du bec verseur, le fil de produit rejoint la surface récupératrice. Celle-ci, de par sa forme, le renvoie à l'intérieur du flacon. Ceci permet d'éviter que du produit ne coule le long des parois extérieures du flacon.Once the bottle is straightened and the flow is interrupted by the edges of the spout, the product thread joins the recovery surface. This, by its shape, returns it to the inside of the bottle. This is to prevent product from flowing along the outer walls of the bottle.
Un récipient verseur tel que décrit dans EP-A-0 109 704 présente des inconvénients. D'une part, le bec verseur est ménagé sur toute la périphérie du tube de sortie, ce qui oblige à prévoir une indexation de l'orifice prévu au point bas de la surface oblique, pendant l'opération de versement, ladite indexation étant ici obtenue en ménageant une poignée sur le récipient positionnée en conséquence. D'autre part, la paroi externe du tube de sortie est entièrement lisse et les produits risquent de s'écouler sur cette paroi dans n'importe quel sens, de suivre un chemin relativement long avant d'atteindre la surface oblique, et donc de sécher, notamment lorsqu'ils ont une certaine viscosité.A pouring container as described in EP-A-0 109 704 has drawbacks. On the one hand, the pouring spout is formed over the entire periphery of the outlet tube, which makes it necessary to provide for indexing of the orifice provided at the low point of the oblique surface, during the pouring operation, said indexing being here obtained by providing a handle on the container positioned accordingly. On the other hand, the external wall of the outlet tube is entirely smooth and the products risk flowing on this wall in any direction, following a relatively long path before reaching the oblique surface, and therefore dry, especially when they have a certain viscosity.
La présente invention propose un dispositif permettant notamment de pallier à de tels inconvénients.The present invention provides a device making it possible in particular to overcome such drawbacks.
La présente invention a donc pour objet un récipient verseur récupérateur, destiné à recevoir un produit liquide, comportant un tube de sortie dont l'extrémité libre est conformée pour constituer un bec verseur, ledit tube de sortie étant entouré d'un manchon constituant le goulot du récipient et relié audit manchon par une surface oblique par rapport à l'axe du tube de sortie, présentant, lorsque l'axe du tube de sortie est vertical, un point bas situé à l'opposé du bec verseur par rapport à l'axe du tube de sortie et au voisinage duquel est ménagé un orifice, caractérisé par le fait que le bec verseur est conformé sur une fraction de la périphérie de l'extrémité libre du tube de sortie comprise dans un dièdre dont l'arête est l'axe du tube de sortie et dont l'angle est inférieur à 180°, le point bas de la surface récupératrice étant dans le dièdre opposé à celui qui contient le bec verseur et que le tube de sortie porte, sur la partie de sa paroi extérieure comprise dans le dièdre délimitant le bec verseur, des ailettes sensiblement parallèles à son axe.The present invention therefore relates to a collecting pouring container, intended to receive a liquid product, comprising an outlet tube whose free end is shaped to constitute a pouring spout, said outlet tube being surrounded by a sleeve constituting the neck of the container and connected to said sleeve by a surface oblique to the axis of the outlet tube, having, when the axis of the outlet tube is vertical, a low point located opposite the spout relative to the axis of the outlet tube and in the vicinity of which is an orifice, characterized in that the spout is shaped on a fraction of the periphery of the free end of the tube outlet included in a dihedral whose edge is the axis of the outlet tube and whose angle is less than 180 °, the low point of the collecting surface being in the dihedral opposite to that which contains the spout and that the outlet tube carries, on the part of its outer wall included in the dihedral delimiting the pouring spout, fins substantially parallel to its axis.
Avantageusement, les ailettes sont radiales ; elles sont disposées juste en-dessous du bec verseur ; elles sont terminées dans leur partie supérieure proche du bec verseur, par un bord oblique par rapport à l'axe du tube de sortie ; l'ensemble des ailettes comprend des ailettes longues et des ailettes courtes, une ailette courte étant intercalée entre deux ailettes longues adjacentes.Advantageously, the fins are radial; they are arranged just below the spout; they are terminated in their upper part close to the pouring spout, by an oblique edge relative to the axis of the outlet tube; the set of fins comprises long fins and short fins, a short fin being interposed between two adjacent long fins.
Avantageusement, le tube de sortie, dans sa zone de contact avec la surface récupératrice du manchon, est bordé par un bourrelet d'étanchéité qui s'appuie sur ladite surface.Advantageously, the outlet tube, in its zone of contact with the collecting surface of the sleeve, is bordered by a sealing bead which rests on said surface.
De préférence, la surface récupératrice est entièrement disposée au-dessous de la bordure du manchon la plus voisine de l'extrémité libre du tube de sortie.Preferably, the collecting surface is entirely disposed below the edge of the sleeve closest to the free end of the outlet tube.
De préférence, le tube de sortie est délimité, dans la zone de son extrémité libre où n'est pas ménagé le bec verseur, par un plan oblique par rapport à son axe.Preferably, the outlet tube is delimited, in the region of its free end where the spout is not spared, by an oblique plane with respect to its axis.
Avantageusement, le tube de sortie et le manchon sont des cylindres coaxiaux de section droite circulaire, la fixation du tube de sortie sur le manchon s'effectuant par encliquetage de l'extrémité du tube de sortie qui est opposée à son extrémité libre, dans un fourreau pratiqué dans la zone centrale de la surface récupératrice.Advantageously, the outlet tube and the sleeve are coaxial cylinders of circular cross section, the fixing of the outlet tube on the sleeve being effected by snap-fastening of the end of the outlet tube which is opposite to its free end, in a sheath practiced in the central area of the recovery surface.
De préférence, le point bas de la surface récupératrice est dans le plan de symétrie du dièdre qui contient le bec verseur ; l'orifice, ménagé au point bas de la surface récupératrice est prolongé vers l'intérieur du récipient par un conduit évacuateur.Preferably, the low point of the collecting surface is in the plane of symmetry of the dihedral which contains the spout; the orifice, formed at the low point of the collecting surface is extended towards the interior of the container by an evacuation pipe.
Pour mieux faire comprendre l'objet de l'invention, on va décrire maintenant, à titre purement illustratif et non limitatif, un mode de réalisation représenté sur le dessin annexé.To better understand the object of the invention, we will now describe, purely by way of non-limiting illustration, an embodiment shown in the accompanying drawing.

En se référant aux figures 1 à 3, on voit que le récipient verseur récupérateur comporte un tube de sortie 1, relié à un manchon 2 par l'intermédiaire d'une surface récupératrice plane 3. Le tube de sortie 1 et le manchon 2 sont formés par exemple, par deux cylindres coaxiaux de section droite circulaire. La surface plane 3 est oblique par rapport à l'axe de ces deux cylindres coaxiaux 1 et 2. Cette surface 3 présente, lorsque l'axe du tube est vertical, un point bas au voisinage duquel est ménagé un orifice 4 de section inférieure à celle du tube de sortie 1. Cet orifice 4 est prolongé vers l'intérieur du récipient par un conduit évacuateur cylindrique 5.Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, it can be seen that the recovery pouring container comprises an
Le tube de sortie 1, est emboîté à une de ses extrémités à l'intérieur d'un fourreau cylindrique 12, de section droite circulaire et dont les parois sont dirigées de la surface récupératrice 3 vers l'intérieur du récipient. Le fourreau 12 a un même axe que le tube de sortie 1 et un diamètre intérieur égal au diamètre extérieur du tube de sortie 1. Il comporte, à son extrémité la plus éloignée de la surface 3, une saillie annulaire intérieure 13, destinée à recevoir un évidement annulaire intérieur ménagé sur la surface extérieure du tube de sortie 1, vers son bord extrême à l'intérieur du récipient. Le tube de sortie 1 est donc solidarisé du fourreau 12 par encliquetage. L'extrémité libre du tube de sortie 1 est conformée pour constituer un bec verseur 6 sur une fraction de sa périphérie comprise dans un dièdre dont l'arête 6a est l'axe du tube de sortie 1 et dont l'angle α est inférieur à 180°. L'orifice 4 au voisinage du point bas de la surface récupératrice 3 est situé dans le dièdre opposé à celui qui contient le bec verseur 6, dans son plan de symétrie.The
On voit sur les figures 1 et 3 que le tube de sortie 1 porte sur sa paroi extérieure, comprise dans le dièdre délimitant le bec verseur 6, des ailettes ou lamelles courtes 7 et des ailettes ou lamelles longues 8 radiales et sensiblement parallèles à l'axe du tube de sortie 1. Chaque ailette courte 7 est intercalée entre deux ailettes longues 8 adjacentes. Ces ailettes 7 et 8 sont disposées juste en dessous du bec verseur 6 et sont terminées dans leur partie supérieure proche du bec verseur 6 par un bord 9 oblique par rapport à l'axe du tube de sortie 1. Cette série d'ailettes verticales réalise un coupe-goutte très efficace pour les produits dits "filants".We see in Figures 1 and 3 that the
Le fonctionnement d'un tel bec verseur est le suivant. En inclinant convenablement le récipient, on verse le liquide contenu dans le récipient par l'intermédiaire du tube de sortie 1. Le liquide coule du bec verseur 6, au-dessus des bords obliques des ailettes 7 et 8. Lorsque l'on redresse le récipient, l'extrémité du bec verseur 6 arrête le débit du liquide, mais laisse passer un fil de produit. Le fil de produit qui reste est coupé, canalisé par les ailettes 7 et 8, puis il tombe sur la surface 3. La pente de cette surface 3 entraîne alors le produit jusqu'à l'orifice 4 où il retombe dans le flacon par le conduit évacuateur 5.The operation of such a pouring spout is as follows. By suitably tilting the container, the liquid contained in the container is poured through the
Il est aussi à noter que la surface récupératrice 3 est entièrement disposée au-dessous de l'extrémité du manchon 2 la plus voisine de l'extrémité libre du tube de sortie 1, le manchon 2 étant prolongé au-delà de la surface 3 et du côté opposé au récipient par une bordure 10. De plus, la zone de contact du tube de sortie 1 avec la surface récupératrice 3 est bordée par un bourrelet d'étanchéité 11 de forme annulaire qui s'appuie sur la surface plane 3 et qui lui est parallèle. Enfin, la zone de l'extrémité du tube de sortie 1 où n'est pas ménagé le bec verseur 6 est délimitée par un plan oblique par rapport à l'axe du tube de sortie.It should also be noted that the
Sur les figures 4 à 6 est représenté un deuxième mode de réalisation possible. Pour les éléments déjà décrits pour la réalisation des figures 1 à 3, on a utilisé les mêmes numéros de référence augmentés de 100, sans que leur description soit reprise.In Figures 4 to 6 is shown a second possible embodiment. For the elements already described for the production of FIGS. 1 to 3, the same reference numbers increased by 100 have been used, without their description being repeated.
Dans cette réalisation particulière, la surface récupératrice plane 103 est reliée au manchon 102 par l'intermédiaire de la bordure 110 qui la prolonge cylindriquement parallèlement au tube de sortie 101. Cette bordure 110 est terminée à son extrémité par un rebord 150 ayant une section droite sensiblement en forme de U retourné, disposé vers l'extérieur de la surface récupératrice 103. Ce rebord 150 ceinture et coiffe le manchon 102. Sur la face interne du bord externe de ce rebord 150 se trouve une protubérance interne d'encliquetage 151 ménagée vers son extrémité sur tout le pourtour de ladite extrémité. L'extrémité du manchon 102 opposée au fond du récipient comporte un becquet annulaire 152 de forme triangulaire sur lequel vient s'encliqueter le rebord 150. En position encliquetée, l'extrémité du rebord 150 se retrouve bloquée sur le becquet triangulaire 152 par la protubérance interne d'encliquetage 151. La partie du manchon 102 située entre le flacon et le rebord 150 forme un cylindre de diamètre extérieur légèrement supérieur au plus grand diamètre extérieur du rebord 150. Cette partie du manchon 102 comporte de plus extérieurement une spire de vissage 157 en hélice sur laquelle peut venir se visser un capuchon associé au récipient.In this particular embodiment, the
Le tube de sortie 101 porte sur sa paroi extérieure comprise dans le dièdre délimitant le bec verseur 106 des ailettes longues radiales 153, sensiblement parallèles à l'axe du tube de sortie 101. Ces ailettes 153 sont disposées juste en dessous du bec verseur 106. Elles ont la forme d'un trapèze dont les bases sont parallèles à l'axe du tube de sortie 101, la grande base étant accolée audit tube de sortie 101. Un côté non parallèle 154 de ce trapèze prolonge le bec verseur 6. L'autre côté non parallèle 155 est plus grand que le côté 154, la base la plus petite 156 ayant sensiblement une longueur égale au tiers de la longueur du côté non parallèle le plus petit 154.The
Les parois du fourreau 112 sont dirigées de la surface 3 vers à la fois l'intérieur et l'extérieur du récipient. Son extrémité dirigée vers l'intérieur du récipient est limitée par un plan, orthogonal à l'axe du tube de sortie 101 et passant par le point d'intersection entre la surface 103 et le fourreau 112 qui est le plus bas lorsque l'axe du tube de sortie 101 est vertical. Un petit évidement est ménagé sur le rebord extérieur du fourreau 112. Cet évidement est situé dans le plan de symétrie, du côté de l'orifice 104, et est destiné à recevoir l'extrémité d'une saillie radiale 158 dont est munie la surface extérieure du tube de sortie 101, dans le plan de symétrie de celui-ci, du côté opposé au bec verseur 106. L'extrémité libre du tube de sortie 101 est coupée par un plan oblique par rapport à l'axe du tube, dont le point le plus haut lorsque le tube de sortie 101 est vertical se trouve sur le bec verseur 106, dans son plan de symétrie.The walls of the
