Definitions

  • the object of the present invention is a flacon for perfume.
  • the present invention finds use in containing substances in liquid form and generally alcohol-based, including for example scented essences for aesthetic use, which are known to be perishable as a function of the method adopted for the containment and/or preservation thereof.
  • Certain examples of containers for perfumes are disclosed in US 1 040 358 , US 370 168 and GB 2 485 196 .
  • perfume flacons are constituted by containers of any shape or size and made of glass, a material that is capable of not altering the characteristics of the perfume.
  • liquid mixtures with which the perfumes are obtained can be easily damaged if they are in contact with some materials, including for example plastic materials, which are capable of contaminating the mixture, jeopardizing the characteristics thereof that are perceivable by the sense organs, such as the scent, colour and consistency.
  • the glass containers are preferably in the form of a bottle and shaped according to the ornamental effect one wishes to give to the product.
  • the bottles used may be coloured and externally their shape reproduces a given design or form apt for enhancing the value of the perfume contained therein, lending a particular aesthetic value to the entire product.
  • the bottles have an upper neck defining an opening with which a dispensing member for dispensing the perfume is associated.
  • the dispensing member can consist of a pump for atomizing the product or an element for blocking the opening and suitable for metered dispensing of the liquid.
  • the dispensing members are designed and suitably conceived for distributing the perfume without altering the characteristics thereof and with this aim, in the case of a spray dispensing pump, a dispenser pushbutton is utilized without the use of possible propellants.
  • the dispensing member is clamped or screwed to the neck of the container (which in this case has a suitable outer thread) by using adequate gaskets.
  • the gaskets guarantee an optimal fluid-seal for ensuring proper preservation of the liquid, considering also that alcohol-based solutions with high vapour pressure are used in the cosmetics sector.
  • the aim of the present invention is therefore to resolve the problem found with the prior art by offering a flacon for perfume that is free of the drawbacks cited herein.
  • an aim of the present invention is to make available a flacon for perfume that is capable of using any type of glass container, especially glass containers made artisanally by glassblowing, including for example Murano glass.
  • a further aim of the present invention is to realize a flacon for perfume that is capable of perfectly preserving the liquid contained therein, even in the case of the use of artisanally-made containers and with tolerances that are not necessarily predetermined.
  • a different and further aim of the present invention is that of making available a flacon for perfume that is structurally simple, easy to use and with limited costs of realization.
  • a flacon for perfume according to the present invention is indicated in its entirety by the number 1.
  • the flacon 1 comprises a housing body for housing a perfume preferably constituted by an essence for aesthetic use in liquid form.
  • the housing body comprises a vial 3 made of glass and having an access mouth 4 for access to an internal compartment containing the above-mentioned perfume.
  • a vial 3 is illustrated in the accompanying figures having a visible external surface shaped with substantially helical decorative forms.
  • the visible form and aesthetic effect of the vial 3 can be of any type whatsoever in accordance with various production needs.
  • the vial 3 has an elongate shape extending along a longitudinal axis X.
  • the overall form of the vial can be of any type, depending on the particular aesthetic effect that is to be given to the flacon 1.
  • the access mouth 4 of the vial 3 is defined by a neck to which at least one perfume dispensing member 5 apt for distributing the liquid towards the external environment is engaged.
  • the dispensing member 5, which is not described or illustrated in detail as it is of a known type, is preferably constituted by an atomizer pump equipped with a pushbutton 6 protruding out of the vial 3.
  • the perfume is dispensed from the above-mentioned vial 3 by pressing the pushbutton 6.
  • the pushbutton 6 is covered by a respective closure element 7 that can be coupled by interference fitting on the dispensing member 5.
  • the closure element 7 is constituted by a cap that can be switched from an open state in which it is disengaged from the dispensing member 5, thereby enabling access to the pushbutton 6, to a closed state in which it is engaged on the dispensing member 5 and the pushbutton 6 is closed in a compartment 7a defined internally of the closure element 7 ( Figure 4 ).
  • the closure element 7 which can also be of any shape or size, has an outer ring 8 on which a logo or writing identifying the product can be imprinted.
  • the vial 3 further comprises a collar 9 for coupling to an adapter element 10 (which is described further herein below) and that is disposed circumferentially around the neck of the vial 3, thereby defining the access mouth.
  • the collar 9 is substantially annular in shape and defines an external cylindrical surface 11 from which a plurality of protrusions 12 extend equidistant from each other, distributed along the entire circumferential outline of the collar 9.
  • the protrusions 12 are substantially hemispherical in shape and the radial dimension thereof can be equivalent to the radial dimension of the outer ring 8 ( Figure 7 ), or the radial dimension thereof can be greater than the radial dimension of the outer ring 8 ( Figure 8 ).
  • the flacon 1 advantageously further comprises a supporting container 13 for supporting the body and that defines at least one access opening 14 for access to an internal compartment of the container 13.
  • the access opening 14 is equipped with the above-mentioned adapter element 10 to enable the housing body for housing the perfume to be movable between a state of non-use, in which it is at the least partially housed in the internal compartment of the container 13 ( Figure 1 ) and a state of use, in which it is removed from the container 13.
  • the adapter element 10 comprises a sleeve 15 of a substantially tubular shape and defining a through hole 16 for holding the housing body, and an external surface 17 for coupling to the access opening 14 of the container 13.
  • the sleeve 15 is made of flexible, preferably elastic material such as rubber or a similar material. In this manner, the sleeve 15 can be snap-fitted within the access opening 14 of the container 13.
  • the external surface 17 of the sleeve 15 is substantially of a truncated cone shape so as to define an external diameter of the entire adapter element 10 varying along the longitudinal section.
  • the sleeve 15 proves to be coupleable to the container 13 irrespectively of the dimensions of the access opening 14.
  • the sleeve 15 comprises a plurality of longitudinal grooves 18 afforded on an internal surface 19 defining the through hole 16.
  • each protrusion 12 is slidably insertable in a respective groove 18 so as to define the above-mentioned state of non-use of the housing body for housing the perfume.
  • each groove 18 has a shoulder 20 defined by a step and that is apt for supporting the entire body and for providing a rest surface for the respective protrusion 12 ( Figures 5 to 8 ).
  • the grooves 18 are afforded in a portion of the hole 16 that defines a smaller diameter of the internal surface 19.
  • the grooves 18 extend only in this portion of the hole 16, the portion remaining comprised within the sleeve 15.
  • the grooves 18 extend from a top edge of the hole 16.
  • the supporting container 13 preferably comprises a vessel 21 having a neck 22 defining the access opening 14.
  • the external surface 17 of the adapter element 10 is coupled to the internal surface of the neck 22 by interference fitting. This coupling results from the elastic deformation capacity of the sleeve 15 fitted inside the neck 22.
  • the vessel 21 is preferably also provided with a base area 23 configured to be rested on a surface and extending at the opposite end with respect to the neck 22.
  • the supporting container 13 is made of blown glass, preferably Murano glass.
  • the container 13 can be of any shape or size, based on the decorative characteristics that are to be given to the product.
  • the container 13 can be made of clear glass, which is capable of revealing, from the outside, the presence of the vial 3 placed within it, or it can be made of opaque glass.
  • the present invention resolves the problems found in the prior art and leads to the following advantages.
  • the flacon 1 can make use of any type of container 13, particularly glass containers made artisanally by glassblowing, including for example Murano glass.
  • the perfume is perfectly preserved inside the vial 3, which is produced industrially with the tolerances and dimensions being predetermined so as to ensure perfect sealing with the dispensing member.
  • the sealing function is not extended to the container 13 visible externally, but to the vial that is contained within the container 13.
  • the flacon constituting the object of this invention proves to be structurally simple, given the presence of individual portions, the container and vial, which are coupleable by means of the interposition of the adapter element 10.
