Definitions

• the present invention relates to a packaging comprising a container deformable by pressure and a dispensing head capable of being broken for the distribution of the product contained, as well as a process suitable for its manufacture.
• the invention will find its application in particular in the field of packaging of cosmetic, pharmaceutical or even food products and for the production of various samples.
• BFS Bit-Fill-Seal
• the filling channel is generally formed in the same manufacturing phase as the container and is removed once the filling has taken place.
• This type of packaging also has very limited applications and shapes and requires different additional operations for filling (making a flow channel, filling, removing the flow channel and welding to plug the corresponding opening).
• the invention makes it possible to remedy the drawbacks of the packaging known up to now.
• Another advantage of the invention is to greatly reduce the cost of manufacturing such packaging.
• the present invention relates to a packaging comprising a container deformable by pressure and a head capable of being broken for the distribution of the product contained, characterized in that the dispensing head comprises a neck integral with the container and delimiting an orifice, and a joined endpiece at the neck, the end piece and the neck each comprising a bearing surface oriented radially relative to the orifice and capable of being brought into contact for securing.
• the nozzle has a guide surface cooperating with a wall of the neck for mounting the nozzle;
• the support surface of the neck is a rim projecting from the inside wall of the neck and that the support surface of the end piece is the distal end of a skirt;
• the support surface of the neck is its distal end and that the support surface of the end piece is a rim of the end piece;
• the rim is formed on the outer wall of a skirt
• the internal reservation is separated from the product packaging area in the container by a recess on the wall of the neck;

• the support surface of the neck is a rim projecting from the outside wall of the neck and that the support surface of the end piece is the distal end of a skirt;
• the skirt is suitable for applying to the outer wall of the neck;
• the tip and the neck are secured by a weld bead at the bearing surfaces;
• the neck has a stiffening zone
• the nozzle has a central part crossed by a flow channel; - The nozzle has an end zone capable of being broken to release the flow channel;
• the invention also relates to a method for manufacturing a packaging comprising a container deformable by pressure and a head capable of being broken for the distribution of the product contained, suitable for manufacturing the packaging, characterized in that it comprises the following steps :
• This process can also include the following steps: - the container is filled by the neck before the end piece is assembled.
• the skirt is welded to the end piece by ultrasonic or friction welding.
• the container is formed by blowing.
• the tip is mounted on the neck by guiding the tip on the neck by a guide surface formed on the tip.
• Figure 1 is a general perspective view of the packaging according to the invention.
• Figure 2 and 3 are respectively a top view and a side view.
• Figure 4 and 5 are in section of the packaging according to the invention.
• Figures 6 and 7 are a detailed illustration.
• Figures 8 to 10 show a second embodiment of the invention.
• FIG. 11 illustrates a third embodiment of the invention.
• the packaging 1 of the invention allows efficient assembly of the nozzle 5 and the neck 4 constituting the head. This assembly is carried out by securing two bearing surfaces (one on the neck 4, the other on the nozzle 5) after they are brought into contact. A welding technique is advantageously used for this purpose.
• the tip 5 is guided on the neck 4 during assembly.
• This guidance can be produced by cooperation of the lateral surfaces of the neck 4 and of the end piece 5 (in particular by the surface of an interior or exterior skirt 6 on the end piece 5 and a wall, inside or outside, of the neck 4) . Note that the adjustment between these surfaces can be slightly tightened (to participate in the joining) or on the contrary is slippery in order to produce only a simple axial guidance.
• the packaging presented here comprises a container that can be deformed by pressure 2 here configured in the form of a flexible bag, in particular achievable by blowing.
• the packaging 1 further comprises a dispensing head 3 closing the container deformable by pressure 2 and able to be opened for dispensing the product.
• the dispensing head 3 is for this purpose produced in two assemblable parts once the filling is carried out.
• the first part of the dispensing head 3 is constituted by a neck 4 secured to the container and delimiting an orifice.
• the neck 4 is produced during the step of manufacturing the container 2 and formed from its material.
• the neck 4 defines a projection having an outer wall 7 in particular visible in FIG. 6.
• the neck may include a zone 13 of rigidity capable of making the body of the neck 4 more massive and preventing its untimely deformation during handling.
• the dispensing head 3 further comprises a nozzle 5 comprising a skirt 6 capable of cooperating (with an loose fit) with the outer wall 7 of the neck 4.
• the end piece 5 is therefore fitted onto the neck 4 until preferably reaching a flange 12 with or without a weld bead 11 for the final connection of the skirt 6 on the neck 4.
• the welding carried out can be carried out by a technique to ultrasonic or friction.
• the endpiece 5 also preferably comprises a central part 8 also visible in the figures and in particular in Figures 6 and 7.
• the central part 8 is intended to be inserted into the orifice formed by the neck 4 and preferably to be applied to the internal wall of this neck. To facilitate fitting, the central part 8 can have a frustoconical shape.
• the central part 8 further comprises a flow channel 9 opening at one end into the interior volume of the container 2 and closed at its other end.
• This closure can be produced by an end zone 10 capable of being broken of current design.
• the end piece 5 will be adapted to the destination of the packaging.
• the method comprises a step of filling the container 2 after the container has been formed with the neck but before the end piece 5 is assembled on the neck 4.
• the same opening is used for filling as for fixing the dispensing head 3.
• the filling and assembly can be carried out online by a semi-automatic or automatic machine supplying the containers 2, marking them with a jet. ink the necessary legal notices, filling, supplying the end pieces, welding them, in particular by an ultrasonic technique on the containers 2.
• FIGS. 8 to 10 another embodiment of the packaging 1 is described.
• the rim 12 is internal to the neck 4 and constitutes a bearing surface for the distal end of a skirt 6 capable of fitting into the orifice of the neck 4.
• the end piece 5 further comprises a peripheral part 14 surrounding the junction zone between the neck 4 and the end piece 5 and covering the distal end of the neck 4.
• the packaging 1 according to this variant can be formed in a similar manner to the embodiment described above.
• the bearing surface of the end piece 5 can also be formed by a rim projecting from its internal or external wall and on which the distal end of the neck 4 is applied.
• FIG. 11 a third embodiment of the invention is now described, illustrated in FIG. 11.
• the rim 12 for welding the neck 4 is formed by the thickness of the distal end of the neck 4. This end is applied for welding on the rim 17 formed here outside the skirt 6.
• a peripheral part 14 is present (as in the second embodiment), which means that the rim 17 is in interposition between the skirt 6 and the peripheral part 14.
• FIG. 11 an internal reservation 15 formed between the internal wall of the neck 4 and the external wall of the skirt 6 and delimited in the lower part by a recess 16 of the neck 4 produced by increasing the thickness of the neck 4 at this level, which contributes in addition to the rigidity of the neck 4 in the form of a stiffening zone 13. It would have been possible to form a recess on the external wall of the skirt 6 without departing from the scope of the invention.
• the internal reservation 15 avoids any contamination of the product contained by projections of material produced during the welding operation. of the plastic residues can indeed be produced by welding, in particular by friction.
• Such packaging and its manufacturing process have the advantage of having high economic performance, which multiplies the possible applications in particular for packaging sold in multiple quantities such as advertising samples or various single-dose packaging.
