Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for dispensing a liquid or pasty product, of the type which includes a container, for the product, provided with a neck fitted with fixing means for a pump installed in a manner which can be dismantled at the using additional fixing means linked to the pump body and adapted to cooperate with said neck fixing means.
  • Such a dispensing device makes it possible to reuse the pump, on a new container, after emptying a first container.
  • the empty container must then be discarded. It is therefore desirable that the mass of the container to be eliminated is as small as possible and that its volume can be easily reduced to reduce its bulk in the waste.
  • a device for dispensing a liquid or pasty product is characterized in that it comprises an open-bottomed envelope suitable for covering the container, this envelope being provided with an equipped neck means for locking in rotation suitable for cooperating with complementary means for locking in rotation provided at the base of the neck of the container, these means for locking in rotation engaging when the envelope is placed on the container, while that longitudinal stop means are provided on the casing to cooperate with, on the one hand, support means linked to the pump body and, on the other hand, stop means linked to the container, so that during the fixing of the pump on the neck of the container, the cooperation of the longitudinal stop means with the support means and the stop means ensures the longitudinal locking of the envelope relative to the container.
  • the axial length of the envelope is greater than that of the container, so that when the envelope is in place on the container, the assembly placed on a horizontal support surface rests by the lower end of the envelope while the bottom of the container is slightly apart.
  • the container When the container is empty, it is possible to dismantle the envelope and reuse it with a new full container constituting a refill.
  • the handling of the dispensing device is ensured by gripping the envelope to which the container is attached.
  • the envelope can be relatively thick to ensure rigidity of the assembly while the container, constituting a simple refill, is produced with a wall thinner than that of the envelope. This results in greater ease of destruction of the empty container, and a reduced cost price.
  • the means for fixing the neck preferably consist of an external thread provided in the upper part of the neck, while the pump body is secured, in particular by screwing or snap-fastening, to a cap comprising an internal skirt provided with a internal thread constituting the complementary fixing means capable of cooperating with the external thread of the neck.
  • the means for locking in rotation of the envelope neck preferably comprise a system of ribs (or grooves) parallel to the axis of the envelope, provided on the internal surface of the envelope neck, while a system of complementary grooves (or ribs) is provided at the lower part of the neck of the container, the engagement of the two systems of ribs / grooves being ensured by a simple axial displacement of the envelope relative to the container, for a correct angular position .
  • the longitudinal abutment means of the envelope are preferably formed by the neck of this envelope, the upper end of which abuts against the support means linked to the pump body and formed by the lower end of the internal skirt of the cap attached to the pump.
  • the stop means provided on the container, can be formed by a shoulder at the connection of the base of the neck and the body of the container.
  • the invention consists, apart from the arrangements set out above, of a certain number of other arrangements which will be more explicitly discussed below in connection with an exemplary embodiment. described with reference to the attached drawing, but which is in no way limiting.
  • Figure 1 of this drawing is an exploded perspective view, with parts broken away, of a device for dispensing a liquid or pasty product according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 finally, is a vertical axial section, with parts broken away, of the dispensing device.
  • a device D for dispensing a liquid or pasty product which comprises a container 1, made of plastic, for the product.
  • This container 1 is in the form of a cylindrical bottle closed by a bottom 2 and provided, at its other end, with a neck 3 which is connected to the wall of the container 1 by a shoulder 4 located in a plane orthogonal to the axis of the container 1.
  • the neck 3 is equipped, at its upper part, with fastening means F constituted by an external thread 5.
  • the neck 3 comprises rotation blocking means B constituted by a system of axial grooves 6, parallel to the axis of the container 1, regularly spaced over the entire circumference.
  • a pump 7 is installed on the neck 3, in a removable manner.
  • the pump 7, of manual type comprises an adjustable head 8 provided with a piston rod 9 capable of sliding in a pump body 10.
  • the actuation of the head 8, by axial displacement enables the product to be dispensed.
  • the pump body 10 is extended, towards the bottom 2 of the bottle, by a dip tube 11.
  • This pump body 10 is secured, in particular by snap-fastening or screwing, with a cap 12 of cylindrical shape turning its concavity downwards.
  • the cap 12 comprises an internal skirt 13 provided with fixing means F 'complementary to the fixing means F.
  • the means F' are constituted, in the example under consideration, by an internal thread 14 suitable for cooperating with the external thread 5 of the neck 3.
  • the external cylindrical wall 15 of the cap 12 extends, axially, beyond the lower end of the skirt 13.
  • the device D comprises an envelope 16, with an open bottom, suitable for covering the container 1.
  • This envelope of cylindrical shape, the cross section of which is similar to that of the container 1 but of slightly larger dimensions, is provided with a neck 17 smaller diameter, connected to the main wall of the envelope by a transverse shoulder 18 whose mean plane is orthogonal to the axis of the envelope 16.
  • the neck 17 is equipped, on its internal surface, with rotation blocking means B 'complementary to the means B provided at the base of the neck 3.
  • the locking means B' are advantageously constituted by axial ribs 19 complementary to the grooves 6, and suitable for engaging in these grooves by a simple axial sliding movement, to a correct relative angular position of the envelope 16 and of the container 1.
  • the axial length of the neck 17 is sufficient for the upper end of this neck to be located beyond the upper end of the grooves 6, when the shoulders 4 and 18 are in abutment against one another.
  • the neck 17 constitutes longitudinal stop means capable of cooperating, via the upper end 20 of the neck 17, with support means 21 linked to the pump body 10 and constituted by the lower end of the skirt 13.
  • the neck 17, by its lower end located in the shoulder 18, is adapted to cooperate with stop means 22 formed by the upper surface of the shoulder 4 of the container.
  • the cylindrical envelope 16, made of plastic, is rigid, of sufficient thickness.
  • This envelope 16 has on its outer surface all indications, inscriptions, decorations desired.
  • the container 1 which constitutes a simple refill need not have a desired aesthetic appearance.
  • the thickness of this container 1 can be reduced, for example of the order of 0.3 mm since this container is not held in the hand directly and does not have to have a minimum rigidity.
  • the container 1 can be made of polyethylene with a wall thickness of the order of 0.3 mm, instead of usually 1 mm.
  • This container 1 can, for example, be of a capacity of 750 ml.
  • the use of the dispensing device according to the invention is as follows.
  • the user threads the envelope 16 around the container 1, the neck 3 of which is open, as illustrated in FIG. 1.
  • the user can be brought to perform a slight rotational movement of the envelope 16 relative to the container 1 to properly present the ribs 19 opposite the grooves 6 and to ensure their mutual engagement.
  • the user blocks, between the stop means 22 and the lower end 21 of the skirt 13, the neck 17 of the casing 16 which, moreover, is immobilized in rotation relative to the container 1.
  • the assembly rests by the lower end of the envelope 1 on a horizontal support surface S (see FIG. 2), while the bottom 2 of the container is slightly spaced from this surface S.
  • the user unscrews the cap 12 relative to the container 1.
  • the envelope 16 is raised, and the container 1 is released. It can then be replaced by another full container.
