Definitions

  • the present invention relates to packaging and dispensing devices comprising a plastic tip and a flexible pouch attached to the tip.
  • US 6,612,466 discloses an example of a nozzle comprising a tubular body, a flange and under it two diametrically opposed fins, having a constant thickness in the axial direction and tapering in the radial direction.
  • the consumer When the tip has a threaded neck to receive a cap, the consumer must grasp the cap with one hand and the pocket of the other and rotate relative to each other to unscrew the cap.
  • the pocket is not rigid, it occurs under the cap a twist which deforms the pocket giving it an unsightly twisted appearance and makes the use of the device inconvenient.
  • One solution to this problem may be to make under the collar an enlarged hollow portion of lenticular cross-section, the opposite walls of the flexible bag being fixed on the long sides of this enlarged hollow portion.
  • the plastic material of the nozzle has a certain permeability to air and the relatively large exchange surface can adversely affect the preservation of the product contained in the pocket.
  • the patent US 4,126,167 discloses a tip also having two diametrically opposed fins, tapering in the radial direction.
  • US 2003/0172950 discloses a nozzle having two fins provided with recesses for providing a material gain.
  • the fins may comprise, on at least a portion of their length, at least one relief forming a positioning stop for an upper edge of the pocket.
  • This relief may define a shoulder or an edge on at least one of the faces of the fins, better on both, and for example comprises one or more ribs extending over at least a portion of the upper edge of the fins.
  • the thinning of the fins reduces gas exchange through the tip and the volume of product may remain trapped in the device at the end of its use.
  • the fins may have an upper longitudinal edge and a lower longitudinal edge and have at least one portion having two opposite faces converging from the upper edge to the lower edge.
  • the subject of the invention is also a packaging and dispensing device comprising a flexible pouch and a mouthpiece on which the pouch is fixed, this nozzle comprising a tubular body and two fins. diametrically opposed extending from the tubular body, the pocket having two opposing walls welded together, defining an interior space containing the product, wherein the fins are isolated over at least a portion of their length from the interior space of the pocket by a zone of welding of the walls between them.
  • This weld zone isolates the interior space of the plastic material of the nozzle, which reduces the gas exchange through the plastic material of the nozzle and improves the emptying of the pocket.
  • the fins may advantageously be insulated, throughout their length, from the interior space by a weld zone of the walls of the pocket between them. This weld zone may extend underlying the lower longitudinal edge of the fins.
  • the tip is thus in contact with the product in the central part of the body, the fins being completely integrated into the weld of the walls of the tube.
  • the fins may each comprise at least one portion having a longitudinal axis extending obliquely relative to the axis of the tubular body.
  • the fins may each comprise at least one portion having a longitudinal axis extending perpendicularly to the axis of the tubular body. At least one of the upper longitudinal edge and the lower longitudinal edge of the fins, or both the upper longitudinal edge and the lower longitudinal edge, may have a portion extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the tubular body.
  • the fins may extend generally downward when the device is observed with the axis of the body of the vertical nozzle and the dispensing orifice at the top.
  • the fins may comprise a portion having opposite faces converging downwards, in a direction parallel to the axis of the tubular body.
  • the fins may be substantially rectilinear or not, for example having a bend directed downwards.
  • the fins may further comprise, on at least a portion of their upper edge, two opposite ribs.
  • the upper edge of the pocket can come substantially under the support or ribs.
  • At least one fin preferably extends in the radial direction over a distance greater than 10 mm, to facilitate the unscrewing of a cap mounted on the tip.
  • the fins may each have an end portion where they tap away from the tubular body.
  • the body may include a collar.
  • the distal ends of the fins may be farther from the axis of the tubular body than the flange.
  • the flange may comprise at least one flat substantially parallel to the fins, in particular two diametrically opposite flats substantially parallel to the fins.
  • the body may have a threaded neck extending between the collar and the dispensing orifice to receive a closure plug.
  • the device may comprise rounded junctions between the fins and the tubular body, on the side of the inlet orifice.
  • the pocket is advantageously welded to the tip, and has two opposite main walls welded to the fins.
  • the main walls of the pocket are advantageously welded to each other along at least a portion of the length of the vanes and under them.
  • the longitudinal edges of the pocket may be further away from the axis of the body than are the distal ends of the fins.
  • the longitudinal edges of the pocket are less distant from the body axis than are the distal ends of the fins.
  • the pocket is made for example with a heat-sealable composite sheet, which may comprise a metal layer.
  • the bag contains, for example, a cosmetic or dermatological product, such as a product to be stored in the absence of air, in particular a hair coloring product.
  • a cosmetic or dermatological product such as a product to be stored in the absence of air, in particular a hair coloring product.
  • the invention also relates to a tip for a packaging device and application as defined above.
  • FIG. 1 shows a packaging and dispensing device 1 comprising a flexible bag 2 fastened to a tip 3 at the top.
  • the pocket 2 has two main walls 4 and 5 which are welded at their periphery and on the end piece 3 so as to form an interior space containing the product, the welded zones being represented by hatching in FIG.
  • the tip is made of plastic, for example polyethylene.
  • the bag 2 has two longitudinal edges 6 which extend along a longitudinal axis X and a bottom 7 which extends substantially perpendicular to the axis X, but other shapes are possible.
  • the tip 3 comprises, as can be seen in Figure 4, a body 8, tubular axis Y, the body having in the upper part a threaded neck 10 which defines a dispensing orifice 11 for the product.
  • the threaded neck 10 can accommodate a not shown closure cap screwing on the tip.
  • the body 8 comprises in the lower part a skirt 13 which defines at its lower end an inlet 14 for the product.
  • the body 8 has a flange 15 at the base of the threaded neck 10.
  • the tip 3 has two fins 20 diametrically opposed, which extend from the skirt 13 each along a longitudinal axis Z which is inclined downwards in the example and which makes with the longitudinal axis Y of the body 8 a non-zero angle ⁇ , for example close to 80 °, as illustrated in FIG.
  • the angle ⁇ is equal to 90 °.
  • the fins 20 extend in the example in a straight line along the Z axis, but it could be otherwise, as will be described later.
  • Each fin 20 has, in cross-section, as illustrated in FIG. 8, a thickness e which tapers downwards, comprising two main faces 23 forming between them an angle ⁇ which is for example between 5 and 10 °, by example of the order of 8 °.
  • the main faces 23 converge downwards, in a direction parallel to the Y axis of the tubular body.
  • Each fin 20 comprises, along its upper longitudinal edge, two longitudinal ribs 24 which each define a shoulder 25 with the corresponding face 23 of the fin.
  • the top of each fin thus forms with the ribs 24 a flat 27 inclined slightly downwards.
  • the spacing D between the distal ends 30 of the fins 20 is much greater than the spacing d between the opposite ends 31 of the flange 15 which lie in the plane of the fins, which allows a good grip of the device by the when unscrewing the cap.
  • the fins 20 taper at their distal end 30, as can be seen in particular in Figures 4 and 6, which avoids hurting the walls of the pocket.
  • the lower 33 and upper 34 corners of each fin are rounded at its distal end.
  • Rounded junctions 35 are provided between the skirt 13 and the longitudinal lower edge 37 of the fins 20.
  • the flange 15 comprises in the example in question two flats 38 diametrically opposed which are substantially parallel to the longitudinal axes Z of the fins 20.
  • the walls 4 and 5 of the bag are welded to the skirt 13 and on the opposite faces 23 of the fins 20, as illustrated in FIG. 2, as well as under them in FIG. a zone 40, as shown in Figure 2, which prevents the accumulation of product under the nozzle and also reduces the gas exchange through the tip.
  • This weld zone 40 extends below the lower longitudinal edge of the fins.
  • the upper edge 41 of the walls 4 and 5 advantageously abuts under the ribs 24 of the fins 20, against the underside of the ribs 24, as well as under the flange 15, the Y axis of the tip being coincident with the axis X of the pocket in the example.
  • the ribs 24 can thus form a positioning stop for the upper edge of the walls of the pocket.
  • the longitudinal edges 6 may be further from the X axis than are the distal ends 30 of the fins.
  • the fins 20 may extend beyond the longitudinal edges 6 of the pocket by having a bent shape with a proximal portion 44 inclined downward and a distal portion 43 extending substantially parallel to the Y axis of the mouthpiece.
  • the walls 4 and 5 of the pocket may be welded together under the proximal portion 44 and along a region 46 adjacent to a distal portion 43, on the inside of the pocket, as shown in FIG. 10.
  • each distal portion 43 has a tapered side 45 in the direction of the Y axis, in order to facilitate the assembly of the walls 4 and 5 in the zone 46.
  • the ribs 24 may not extend over the entire length of the proximal portion 44 of the fins.
  • the fins 20 have a bent shape but their radially outermost edge is less distant from the Y axis than are the longitudinal edges 6 of the bag, which may allow assembling the walls 4 and 5 on either side of each distal portion 43, not only according to an area 46 located on the inner side, but also according to an assembly zone 49 located on the outer side, as can be seen on Figure 12.
  • the distal portion 43 advantageously has a shape tapering both inwardly and outwardly, to facilitate assembly of the walls 4 and 5.
  • the invention is not limited to a particular pocket shape and it may be more or less elongated, the terms "pocket” and "tube” being considered synonymous in the present application.
  • the ribs 24 could be removed.
  • the pocket can be made with different materials and in particular with a composite sheet.
  • the carboxylate unit is, for example, an acrylate or methacrylate unit, for example ethyl acrylate.
  • the carboxylic unit is, for example, acrylic or methacrylic acid.
  • the copolymer may comprise at least one second monomer having an alkylene unit whose alkyl chain comprises from 2 to 10 carbon atoms.
  • the adhesion agent is for example a copolymer of ethylene and ethyl acrylate or a copolymer of ethylene and acrylic acid.
