Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method according to the preamble of claim 1, a blank according to claim 5 and a container according to the preamble of claim 17.
  • the invention relates to the realization of multi-compartment containers for containing different products.
  • a particularly interesting application of such containers relates to the storage and distribution of make-up products, in particular lipsticks.
  • the behavior in time of a lipstick is provided by a formulation with a dull, while the gloss of a lipstick is given by a formulation whose behavior in time is relatively poor .
  • formulations have often antagonistic properties and are generally not conditionable in the mixed state. Although these formulations can be mixed to obtain the required performance, they may react chemically to form a composition unstable over time, so that it is not possible to keep them simultaneously in the same compartment. This is why it is generally desirable to keep them in multi-compartment containers and mix them extemporaneously.
  • containers for storing and dispensing products with several compartments which comprise a body provided internally with a separating partition which delimits in the body two chambers which are intended to be filled each with a product.
  • US patents US 5, 954, 234 and US 1, 894, 115 The container described in these documents is provided with an internal partition and has a first end forming a neck for dispensing the products, and an open opposite end, through which the container can be filled, this end being intended to be closed by pinching and welding after filling the container.
  • a widely used technique for the realization of multi-compartment containers is to inject a plastic material into the mold cavity so as to form in one piece the body of the container and the internal partition.
  • the containers are then often made of polyethylene, in particular a mixture of polyethylenes at high and low densities.
  • This material has the advantage of being compatible with the compositions or formulations likely to be contained in the compartments, to be easily injected, to be weldable on itself, to have sufficient resistance to cracking or the "stress cracking" due to the permanent deformation of the tube after welding, and to provide a sufficiently tight barrier to the components of the compositions so that there is no migration of the components contained in one of the compartments to the composition contained in another compartment.
  • this material has a major disadvantage in that it has, at molding temperatures, a very low grade, that is to say a very low fluidity. It is therefore necessary to inject this product with a relatively high pressure. In addition, for this reason, it is very difficult to mold thin walls, the high viscosity of the product does not allow it to be inserted between mold walls too close to each other.
  • This material is advantageous in that it is flexible to cold and thus allows to close the open end of the container by which the latter is filled, by pinching and welding and facilitates, in use, the extraction of the product allowing the user to exert pressure on the wall of the container.
  • the object of the invention is to overcome the disadvantages associated with the production of conventional multi-compartment containers.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a container with several compartments for storing and dispensing products in which the separating partition can be made in the form of a sufficiently thin membrane to give it a large flexibility while having a perfect seal to the various components that may be contained in the container.
  • the object of the invention is therefore, according to a first aspect, a method of producing a multi-compartment product storage and dispensing container blank by molding a plastic material injected into the cavity of a mold.
  • At least one membrane is placed in the cavity of the mold so as to form in the container at least one overmolded internal partition which extends between a first end and a second end of the container, to delimit compartments for containing respective products.
  • This method may further be characterized in that said membrane comprises a material different from said plastic material. It can thus include a metallic film.
  • a membrane in the form of a ribbon is used, displaced in translation after each molding of a blank, so as to successively produce a set of blanks in the form of a string of blanks. joined by the membrane.
  • the invention also relates to a multi-compartment product storage and dispensing container blank comprising a molded plastic body having a first open end for filling the container which is intended for being closed by clamping and welding, an opposite second end provided with a product dispensing means and at least one internal partition extending between the two ends and defining in the blank compartments for containing products respectively.
  • said at least one internal partition comprises at least one overmolded separating membrane.
  • the or each membrane comprises a material different from that of the body.
  • different materials materials having a different composition, but this term also includes materials having the same chemical molecule and different physicochemical characteristics.
  • the membrane comprises a metal film, in particular an aluminum foil.
  • the separating membrane can be made in the form of a multilayer structure.
  • the multilayer structure may comprise a central metal sheet and two plastic side layers.
  • the separating membrane has a width, considered in a transverse direction of the container, equal to half a perimeter of the body.
  • the membrane comprises for example longitudinal folds delimiting a succession of concave portions offset relative to a median longitudinal plane of the body and alternately turned towards the compartments.
  • the membrane comprises a single central recess concavity turned towards a first compartment and two lateral folds extending on either side of the central fold and concavities turned towards a second compartment.
  • the second end of the body may then comprise a central opening and two lateral openings, each opening opening into one of the concave portions.
  • the section of the central opening is equal to the total section of the two lateral openings.
  • the central opening and the lateral openings have sections such that for two products of the same viscosity, the product flow in the central opening is equal to the sum of product flows in the lateral openings.
  • the invention also relates to a multi-compartment product storage and dispensing container, comprising a molded plastic body having a first end closed by pinching and welding, a second end. opposed provided with a product dispensing means, and at least one inner partition extending between the two ends and delimiting in the body compartments filled with respective products.
  • This container is characterized in that said at least one internal partition comprises at least one overmolded separating membrane.
  • the membrane may further comprise a material different from that of the body.
  • the membrane may comprise a metal film, in particular aluminum.
  • the membrane may also be in the form of a multilayer structure and comprise a central metal sheet and two plastic side layers.
  • the membrane has a width, considered in a transverse direction of the container, equal to half a perimeter of the body, and comprises a central fold defining a first concave portion facing a first compartment and two lateral folds extending from one side to the other. Another of the central fold and delimiting second and third concave parts concavity turned towards a second compartment.
  • the second end of the body of the container has a central opening and two lateral openings, each opening opening into one of the concave portions.
  • the section of the central opening may be equal to the total section of the two lateral openings. But the central and lateral openings can be made so that their sections are such that, for two products of the same viscosity, the flow of product in the opening equal to the sum of the product flows in the lateral openings.
  • This container may further comprise a cap provided with closing pins engaging in central and lateral openings of the body which open respectively to the compartments.
  • FIG. 1 On the Figures 1 to 3 , there is shown an embodiment of a container blank according to the invention, designated by the general reference numeral 1.
  • This blank is intended for producing a container ( Figures 4 to 7 ) with two compartments each intended to contain a product, especially a cosmetic or care product, for example a lipstick containing two formulas stored separately and intended to be mixed extemporaneously during application.
  • the blank 1 essentially comprises a substantially cylindrical body 2 made by molding a thermoplastic material, for example polyethylene.
  • the body 2 comprises an open end 3 for filling the body and intended to be closed by clamping and welding after filling and an opposite end 4 forming a neck 5 provided with a dispensing means by which the products are delivered, during the 'application.
  • the blank 1 is further provided with an internal overmolded partition 6 which essentially comprises a material different from the material constituting the body 2 of the blank.
  • the body of the container is for example made of polyethylene.
  • polyethylene With regard to the partition, as will be described in detail later, this is for example made from a metal, for example aluminum. But one can also use a polyethylene of different grade or a laminated polyethylene.
  • the partition 6 extends in the body 2 of the first end 3 to the second end 4. It comprises a length that substantially corresponds to the length of the body 2 and a width substantially equal to half a perimeter of the body.
  • the length of the body 2 is slightly greater than that of the partition 6 so that the weld of the body after filling is performed both on the end of the partition, and also on both walls from the body. This ensures a good closure of the container.
  • the partition 6 thus delimits, in the body, a first compartment 7 which is intended to be filled with a first product, and a second separate compartment 8, which is intended to be filled with a second product.
  • the body 2 has a cylindrical shape with a circular base or oval base in order to allow identification of the position of the container in a packaging machine and, in particular, during the welding of the end 3.
  • the body 2 could be made in the form of a cylinder with a circular base, the identification of the angular position of the tube then being done by any other appropriate means.
  • the body 2 has a slight relief, so that it flares substantially from the end 4 towards the end 3 in order to facilitate demolding of a central core used during the molding of the blank.
  • the body 2 In the vicinity of the end 4, the body 2 has a shoulder 9 which is a bearing on which comes to rest a closure cap. From the scope, the body extends towards the end 4, by a nose comprising a generally frustoconical portion 10 itself extended by a cylindrical applicator 11 provided with an inclined end face 12.
  • This end face 12 is provided with a central orifice 13, which is centered on the general axis XX 'of the body 2 and which communicates with one of the compartments, and two lateral orifices 14 and 15 which are situated on the other side. and other of the central orifice 13 on a median plane P of the body 2 and which each communicate with the other compartment.
  • the section of the central orifice 13 corresponds to the overall section of two lateral orifices 14 and 15.
  • the outer peripheral surface of the applicator 11 is provided with an annular ridge 16 projecting which is intended, as will be detailed later, to snap into a corresponding groove formed in a closure cap.
  • the contoured shape of the partition 6 is provided so that, on the one hand, its length is equal to the length of the weld of the tube and so that, on the other hand, the partition bypasses the orifices 13, 14 and 15.
  • the partition 6 comprises three folds, namely a central recess 18, concavity turned to a first compartment 7, and two lateral folds 17 and 19, concavity facing the other compartment 8.
  • the central orifice 13 opens into the first compartment 7, while the lateral orifices 14 and 15 open into the other compartment 8.
  • this partition 6 is preferably made in the form of a multilayer membrane and comprises a central aluminum film and two outer layers of polyethylene secured by bonding to the aluminum film.
  • This structure is advantageous insofar as the two outer layers of polyethylene can easily be heat welded with the material constituting the body 2 during the closing of the opening 3.
  • the thickness of the partition 6 may be of the order of 0.2 mm, that of the aluminum film being of the order of 12 microns. Such fineness makes it possible to achieve a partition having optimum flexibility while providing a completely sealed barrier to the components filling the compartments 7 and 8 due to the presence of the aluminum film.
  • the partition 6 has a thickness (unlike an injected wall) substantially constant over its entire surface so that the partition has a constant permeability over its entire surface.
  • the membrane 6 constituting the partition in the cavity of a mold, and in particular in a central core of the mold, so that the film overflows around the core.
  • a central core shaped so as to obtain the contoured shape of the partition 6 will be used.
  • the mold is then closed around the membrane, and an injection of plastic material is made, which will be welded on the free part of the mold. the membrane that overflows into the impression.
  • the piece is ejected and is placed in a cutting tool to remove the protruding portion of the membrane.
  • the membrane can be cut beforehand and placed precisely in the central core, using a robot, for example.
  • a membrane in the form of a ribbon is used which is displaced in translation, step by step, at each injection phase so as to produce, after demolding, a string of blanks bound by the membrane. in ribbon.
  • a conditioning phase is carried out. To do this, each blank is transferred to a filling station at which it is filled by its open end 3. During filling, the compartments of different products are filled to be mixed extemporaneously with the application. It is then necessary to close the open end of the container by pinching and welding. In the welding zone, the membrane 6 is then stretched and adopts a planar configuration. We then obtain the visible container on the figures 4 and 6 .
  • a closing cap 20 is also produced ( figures 5 and 7 ) by injection of a thermoplastic material, preferably identical to the material used in the constitution of the body 2 of the container.
  • This cover also adopts a generally cylindrical shape, with an oval base, of shape complementary to that of the applicator 11. Therefore, the cover 20 can be mounted on the neck 7 only in two positions angularly offset by 180 ° one compared to each other.
  • the cover 20 essentially comprises a distal end face 21 planar, extending by a double cylindrical skirt consisting of an inner skirt 22 and an outer skirt 23.
  • the inner skirt 22 is internally provided with a groove (not shown ) intended to cooperate with the external groove 16 of the applicator 15 to allow snap-fitting of the cap 20 on the body 2.
  • the outer skirt 23 has dimensions and a shape similar to those of the bearing surface 9 on which it comes to rest after snapping of the cap 20.
  • the bottom of the hood 20 is provided with three pins aligned along a median plane of the hood, namely a central pin 24 and lateral pins 25 and 26 disposed on either side of the central pin.
  • the central pin 24 is intended to close the central opening 13, while the lateral pins 25 and 26 are intended to close the lateral orifices 14 and 15.
  • the central pin 24 therefore has a section in cross section that corresponds to that of the central orifice 13 and the lateral pins 25 and 26 each have a section in cross section which corresponds to the section of the lateral orifices 14 and 15.
  • the lateral orifices 14 and 15 open into the same compartment 8
  • the lateral pins 25 and 26 can then close off one or the other of the lateral orifices 14 or 15, in the two possible angular positions of the cover without the risk of cross-polluting one composition with the other.
  • the container is provided with only one separating partition. It would also be possible, alternatively, to provide the container with several partitions to provide in the container a greater number of compartments for storing a larger number of products.
  • the container in another cylindrical or non-cylindrical shape, with a square, rectangular or round base, etc.
  • applicator may adopt any other form.
  • the applicator has a cylindrical overall shape with an oval base ending in an inclined flat end, it is also possible, alternatively, to provide the container with an applicator of any other shape, for example rounded.
