Definitions
- the invention relates to a refill container forming a bottle for liquid or pasty or even powdery products, in particular for cleaning and cosmetic products.
- Liquid, pasty or powdery maintenance products, for cleaning for example, or cosmetics are generally packaged in plastic bottles of large capacity. This type of packaging is not very ecological because it is bulky and of a material generally difficult or impossible to recycle. In addition, it is relatively expensive.
- refill packaging in the form of sachets or bottles with unscrewable caps.
- these refills require delicate handling which consists in cutting off one end of the sachet or opening the bottle to fill a rigid container for use, failing which the direct use of the refill would be difficult with serious risks of splashing.
- the inventor has imagined a device in which a refill container is fixed in a rigid, aesthetic and economical use case without it being necessary beforehand to transfer the product, or even in certain cases, to '' open the refill container.
- a device comprising a housing provided at one end with an open bottom through which a container which contains the product can be introduced and which is provided with 'a fixing ring with external thread for its fixing by screwing in the vicinity of the other end, called the upper end, of the housing.
- the inventor proposes a refill box forming a bottle, of the aforementioned type but which is, inter alia, remarkable in that the box comprises at its upper end a nut mounted free in rotation, accessible from the outside, and intended - Born to come into engagement with the thread of the reci ⁇ pient fixing ring so that one can fix or remove the latter from the housing by acting on said nut in the direction of screwing or unscrewing respectively.
- the casing is provided at its upper part with an annular housing intended to receive freely in rotation, but fixed in translation, at least part of the nut or a part integral with the latter.
- the nut of the casing is arranged completely in its housing so that it does not protrude from said casing, the latter having cutouts at the level of said nut for its rotation maneuver.
- the nut has a cylindrical portion with an internal thread intended to cooperate with the container fixing ring while it has a flexible, conical and striated outer skirt, intended to come into the annular housing and also serve as an actuating means in rotation.
- the nut of the box has a base intended to come into the annular housing while the major part of the nut projects out of said box.
- the container fixing ring it is possible, for example, for the container fixing ring to be extended by a plugging and product evacuation ring, which ring has a diameter less than that of the fixing ring for passing through and protruding from the nut during assembly, being further arranged to receive a means for closing the container so as to stop it both before assembly and after and possibly during.
- the plugging and evacuation ring can also have an external thread for closing by means of a screw cap.
- said ring can of course also be obtu ⁇ rated by any other means, such as, for example, a service capsule clipped or screwed.
- a service capsule clipped or screwed To allow better emptying of the container, it can be constituted by a flexible and deformable material, while the housing has at least one uncorked cutout forming a pous ⁇ evening capable of acting by pressure on said container.
- the nut of the housing is exterior or interior, it can be secured to a pump plug which projects out of said housing while the container fixing ring is initially used for fixing a screw cap so that said container is fixed with the nut after unscrewing and removing said cap, the pump cap making it possible to spray the product contained in the container.
- the shapes respectively outside of the container and inside of the box correspond so that said container fits tightly in the box.
- anti-rotation means may be provided in the form of notches and of conjugate ribs arranged respectively on the container and in the housing or vice versa.
- FIG. 1 is an elevation in half view in section and half outside view of a refill container for a first embodiment
- FIG. 2 is an elevation in half sectional view and half external view of a box intended to receive the container of FIG. 1,
- FIG. 3 is a top view of FIG. 2,
- FIG. 4 is an elevation in half sectional view and half exterior view of the housing of Figures 2 and 3 equipped with container of Figure 1,
- FIGS. 5 to 8 correspond respectively to FIGS. 1 to 4 for another embodiment
- Figures 9 and 10 correspond to Figure 4 or Figure 8 but according to two other embodiments which result from a combination of the embodiments mentioned above.
- a refill container 1, l ' ( Figures 1, 4, 5, 8, 9 and 10) and a housing 2, 2', 2 ", 2 '" ( Figures 2, 3, 4 , 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10) intended to receive said container 1, l '.
- the refill container 1, 1 ′ containing the product has here the shape of a flask with a shoulder and the boxes of course have similar interior shapes.
- the container 1, l ' is provided with an externally threaded fixing ring 3.
- the housing 2 to 2 '' ' in rigid or semi-rigid material, is provided at one of its ends with an open bottom 4 and has at its other end also open, a nut 5, 5' mounted free in rotation in a housing 6, 6 'in the form of an annular groove.
- the nut 5, said inté ⁇ laughing is fully mounted in the housing 6 of the housing 2, 2 "', as shown in Figures 2, 4 and 10 and it is in this case provided with a cylindrical part 7 with internal thread and a flexible and frustoconical outer skirt 8 intended to come into the housing 6 of suitable shape and therefore also frustoconical, the skirt 8 being able to rotate freely in said housing.
- the smaller housing 6 ′ receives a base 10 of the nut 5 ′, which, said to be external, then protrudes from the housing 2 ′, 2 ′′ (FIGS. 6, 8 and 9) of such so that said nut 5 ′, also provided with external ridges, is easily anipulable.
- the container 1 is provided with a second ring 11 externally threaded which extends the fixing ring 3 and whose diameter is slightly smaller, the ring 11 forming an orifice evacuation and being provided to receive a screw cap 12.
- FIGS. 5, 8 and 10 has only its single fixing ring 3 forming the evacuation orifice and onto which the plug 12 is initially screwed (FIG. 5).
- the nut 5 inside or 5 'outside can also be solidai ⁇ re with a pump stopper 13 for spraying, conventionally provided with a suction cannula 14, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 8 for an outside nut 5 'and Figure 10 for an inner nut 5.
- Figures 2, 4 and 9 show that the housing 2, 2 "could be provided with a pusher 15 formed by a cutout 16 of its wall.
- drawings represent two types of rechar ⁇ ge 1, the with respectively two threaded rings 3 and 11, or a single ring 3, and four types of housing 2, 2 ', 2 ", 2" "which are distinguished as follows:
- the refill container 1 (FIG. 1), advantageously made of flexible and deformable material, is intended to be mounted in a housing 2 or a 2 "box, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 9, and that the container- recharge ( Figure 5) can be mounted in a 2 'or 2' 'box ( Figures 8 and 10).
- the cap 12 is first unscrewed, the container is introduced as before the container, the cannula 14 being introduced into the said container , and the assembly is fixed by screwing the nut 5, 5 'on the single ring 3 to obtain the embodiments as already said, of Figures 8 and 10.
- the actuation of the pump will then allow spraying of the product contained in container 1 '.
- the container and its housing can be of any shape with polygonal section for example, but it is of course possible to provide circular sections, as shown in Figure 7 about more particularly of the housing 2 '.
