Description

L'invention a trait aux dispositifs de conditionnement pour un produit à distribuer, et en particulier aux flacons dont le col est équipé d'un dispositif de distribution, par une pompe. On connait de tels dispositifs de conditionnement pour un produit à distribuer divulgué dans, par exemple, FR 2 955 091 , FR 2 880 001 , FR 2 840 890 et FR 2 792 295 , comprenant :

  • un flacon apte à contenir le produit à distribuer et comportant un col comprenant une paroi interne délimitant une ouverture,
  • un dispositif de distribution comportant un corps et étant apte à distribuer ledit produit.
The invention relates to packaging devices for a product to be dispensed, and in particular to bottles whose neck is equipped with a dispensing device, by a pump. Such packaging devices are known for a product to be dispensed disclosed in, for example, FR 2 955 091 , FR 2 880 001 , FR 2,840,890 and FR 2 792 295 , comprising:
  • a bottle adapted to contain the product to be dispensed and comprising a neck comprising an inner wall delimiting an opening,
  • a dispensing device comprising a body and being able to dispense said product.

Suivant le modèle du dispositif de distribution et suivant la forme et les dimensions du col du flacon, il est parfois nécessaire de prévoir un élément de fixation pour fixer le corps du dispositif de distribution dans le col du flacon.Depending on the model of the dispensing device and the shape and dimensions of the neck of the bottle, it is sometimes necessary to provide a fastener for fixing the body of the dispensing device in the neck of the bottle.

Pour ce faire, l'élément de fixation est conçu pour coopérer avec la paroi interne du col du flacon.To do this, the fixing element is designed to cooperate with the inner wall of the neck of the bottle.

Les dispositifs de distribution et en particulier les pompes qui sont associées aux éléments de fixations sont le plus souvent des pompes de type « bouchon », à insérer à force dans l'élément de fixation, lui-même inséré dans le col du flacon.The dispensing devices and in particular the pumps that are associated with the fastening elements are most often "plug" type pumps, forcibly inserted into the fastener element, itself inserted into the neck of the bottle.

L'invention vise à offrir une alternative de dispositif de conditionnement qui comporte un dispositif de distribution autre qu'une pompe de type « bouchon » et qui assure la fixation du dispositif dans le col du récipient.The invention aims to provide an alternative packaging device which comprises a dispensing device other than a pump type "plug" and which ensures the attachment of the device in the neck of the container.

Par ailleurs, l'invention propose un dispositif de conditionnement qui, pour des raisons esthétiques, permet de cacher le corps du dispositif de distribution.Furthermore, the invention proposes a packaging device which, for aesthetic reasons, makes it possible to hide the body of the dispensing device.

Elle propose à cet effet un dispositif de conditionnement comprenant, de manière classique, un flacon apte à contenir le produit à distribuer et comportant un col comprenant une paroi interne délimitant une ouverture, un dispositif de distribution comportant un corps et étant apte à distribuer ledit produit et un élément de fixation pour fixer le corps du dispositif de distribution dans le col du flacon.It proposes for this purpose a packaging device comprising, in a conventional manner, a bottle adapted to contain the product to be dispensed and comprising a neck comprising an inner wall defining an opening, a dispensing device comprising a body and being able to distribute said product. and a fastener for securing the dispenser body in the neck of the vial.

Le dispositif est remarquable en ce que l'élément de fixation comporte une double paroi cylindrique comprenant une paroi externe et une paroi interne formant une cheminée interne, lesdites parois externe et interne étant coaxiales, et en ce que ledit dispositif de distribution comporte un organe de fixation dudit dispositif de distribution, l'organe de fixation étant solidaire dudit dispositif de distribution et étant fixé autour de la cheminée interne de l'élément de fixation.The device is remarkable in that the fastening element comprises a cylindrical double wall comprising an outer wall and an inner wall forming an internal chimney, said outer and inner walls being coaxial, and in that said dispensing device comprises a fixing said dispensing device, the fastener being secured to said dispensing device and being fixed around the inner chimney of the fastener.

La présence d'une cheminée interne à l'élément de fixation permet de fixer l'organe de fixation solidaire du corps du dispositif de distribution. Cette cheminée de fixation peut avoir sensiblement la même forme et les mêmes dimensions que les cols de petites dimensions classiquement utilisés sur les flacons de parfum pour la fixation de pompes à claquer, à sertir ou à visser. Ainsi, les dispositifs de distribution du type à sertir, à claquer ou à visser peuvent être fixés très simplement sur les cheminées internes des éléments de fixations, sans qu'il soit nécessaire d'apporter des modifications structurelles à ces pompes. De cette façon, l'invention permet de fixer des pompes différentes de celles appelées « pompes bouchon ».The presence of a chimney internal to the fastening element makes it possible to fix the fastener integral with the body of the dispensing device. This fixing chimney may have substantially the same shape and dimensions as the small necks conventionally used on perfume bottles for fixing pumps to slam, crimp or screw. Thus, the dispensing devices of the crimp type, slam or screw can be fixed very simply on the internal chimneys of the fasteners, without the need to make structural changes to these pumps. In this way, the invention makes it possible to fix different pumps from those called "plug pumps".

Par ailleurs, ainsi réalisé, le corps de pompe est caché dans l'élément de fixation, ce qui permet de cacher le corps du dispositif de distribution et de répondre à un besoin esthétique du flacon.Moreover, thus realized, the pump body is hidden in the fixing element, which allows to hide the body of the dispensing device and to meet an aesthetic need of the bottle.

Dans la description qui suit, les termes « inférieur », « supérieur », « haut », « bas » etc... sont utilisés en référence aux dessins pour une plus grande facilité de compréhension. Ils ne doivent pas être compris comme étant des limitations de la portée de l'invention.In the following description, the terms "lower", "higher", "high", "low", etc. are used with reference to the drawings for greater ease of understanding. They should not be understood as limitations of the scope of the invention.

De plus, les références désignant les mêmes éléments ont été gardées d'une figure à l'autre, ceci afin d'en faciliter la lecture, et bien que ces éléments puissent avoir des formes différentes.In addition, the references designating the same elements have been kept from one figure to another, in order to facilitate reading, and although these elements may have different shapes.

La figure 1 montre un premier exemple de réalisation d'un dispositif de conditionnement 1 conforme à l'invention.The figure 1 shows a first embodiment of a packaging device 1 according to the invention.

Le dispositif de conditionnement 1 comporte un flacon 2, par exemple transparent ou translucide réalisé en verre et formé d'un corps en verre formant réservoir, apte à contenir un produit fluide ou liquide, tel que du parfum par exemple. Le flacon pourrait également être réalisé en un autre matériau tel que du plastique ou du Surlyn©.The packaging device 1 comprises a bottle 2, for example transparent or translucent made of glass and formed of a glass body forming a reservoir, able to contain a fluid or liquid product, such as perfume by example. The bottle could also be made of another material such as plastic or Surlyn ©.

Le flacon en verre 2 comporte un col 3 solidaire, formant une ouverture dans le flacon.The glass bottle 2 has a solid neck 3 forming an opening in the bottle.

Le col 3 présente au moins un épaulement interne 4 pour permettre un assemblage fonctionnel d'une partie d'un élément de fixation 31 d'un corps 5 d'un dispositif de distribution 6.The neck 3 has at least one internal shoulder 4 to allow a functional assembly of a portion of a fastener 31 of a body 5 of a dispensing device 6.

Le dispositif de distribution 6 est de type « à pompe ». Outre le corps de pompe 5, le dispositif de distribution 6 comporte une tête 7 formée par un bouton poussoir, et un tube de prélèvement 15, apte à prélever un fluide contenu dans le flacon 2.The dispensing device 6 is of the "pump" type. In addition to the pump body 5, the dispensing device 6 comprises a head 7 formed by a push button, and a sampling tube 15, able to take a fluid contained in the bottle 2.

Le corps 5 du dispositif de distribution 6 est inséré dans l'élément de fixation 31, lui-même inséré dans le col 3 du flacon 2.The body 5 of the dispensing device 6 is inserted into the fastening element 31, itself inserted into the neck 3 of the bottle 2.

L'élément de fixation 31 (encore appelé frette ou cache), montré en figure 2, est une pièce présentant une symétrie de révolution autour d'un axe vertical Z, la pièce étant sensiblement de forme cylindrique et traversée par un conduit traversant 32, apte à accueillir le corps de pompe 5 du dispositif de distribution 6. Le diamètre extérieur de l'élément de fixation 31 est dimensionné de manière à pouvoir être introduit dans le col 3 du flacon 2.The fixing element 31 (also called fret or cover), shown in figure 2 , is a piece having a symmetry of revolution about a vertical axis Z, the part being substantially of cylindrical shape and traversed by a through conduit 32, adapted to accommodate the pump body 5 of the dispensing device 6. The outer diameter of the fixing element 31 is dimensioned so that it can be introduced into the neck 3 of the bottle 2.

L'élément de fixation 31 permet non seulement de fixer le dispositif de distribution 6 dans le col 3 du flacon 2, mais il permet également de masquer le corps 5 du dispositif de distribution 6.The fixing element 31 not only makes it possible to fix the dispensing device 6 in the neck 3 of the bottle 2, but it also makes it possible to mask the body 5 of the dispensing device 6.

De plus, l'élément de fixation 31 ainsi agencé peut être intégralement contenu dans le col 3 du flacon 2, sans recouvrir sa surface externe comme c'est le cas dans les flacons classiques munis d'un col recouvert par une pompe. Cela présente un avantage esthétique puisque le col 3 du flacon 2 du dispositif conforme à l'invention est libre de toute pièce ajoutée venant le masquer.In addition, the fixing element 31 thus arranged can be integrally contained in the neck 3 of the bottle 2, without covering its outer surface as is the case in conventional bottles provided with a neck covered by a pump. This has an aesthetic advantage since the neck 3 of the bottle 2 of the device according to the invention is free of any added part to hide it.

En partie supérieure, l'élément de fixation 31 présente une collerette 33 saillante radialement, présentant deux surfaces supérieure et inférieure 34 sensiblement plates. La collerette 33 a pour fonction de s'appuyer, par l'intermédiaire de sa surface inférieure 34, contre la surface interne de l'épaulement 4 ménagé à l'extrémité du col 3 du récipient. A ce titre, le diamètre extérieur de la collerette est supérieur au diamètre intérieur du col 3.In the upper part, the fixing element 31 has a radially projecting flange 33 having two substantially flat upper and lower surfaces 34. The flange 33 has the function of resting, via its lower surface 34, against the inner surface of the shoulder 4 formed at the end of the neck 3 of the container. As such, the outer diameter of the flange is greater than the inside diameter of the neck 3.

La collerette 33 a ainsi pour fonction de faire buter à l'enfoncement de l'élément de fixation 31 dans le col 3 du récipient, de manière à assurer un bon positionnement de l'élément de fixation 31 dans le col 3.The flange 33 thus has the function of abutting the depression of the fastening element 31 in the neck 3 of the container, so as to ensure proper positioning of the fastening element 31 in the neck 3.

La collerette 33 est fixée sur l'épaulement 4, par exemple par collage, et notamment un collage UV. Il devra être entendu que la fixation de la collerette 33 pourrait être également réalisée autrement (par exemple par collage à chaud si le flacon n'était pas réalisé transparent).The flange 33 is fixed on the shoulder 4, for example by gluing, and in particular a UV bonding. It should be understood that the fixing of the flange 33 could also be performed differently (for example by hot gluing if the flask was not made transparent).

Dans cet exemple de réalisation, l'élément de fixation 31 est réalisé dans une matière rigide, telle du polypropylène, en prenant soin de réduire les tolérances de fabrication pour que l'élément de fixation 31 soit parfaitement adapté à son insertion dans le col 3. Toutefois, il pourrait également être fabriqué dans un matériau suffisamment souple pour pouvoir se déformer ou se compresser un minimum et s'insérer dans le col 3 du récipient, alors même qu'il est déjà équipé du dispositif de distribution 6. Ce matériau peut être une matière plastique souple ou une matière déformable comme un caoutchouc ou un silicone.In this embodiment, the fastening element 31 is made of a rigid material, such as polypropylene, taking care to reduce the manufacturing tolerances so that the fastening element 31 is perfectly adapted to its insertion into the neck 3 However, it could also be made of a sufficiently flexible material to be able to deform or compress a minimum and fit into the neck 3 of the container, even though it is already equipped with the dispensing device 6. This material can be a flexible plastic material or a deformable material such as rubber or silicone.

Sous la collerette 33 saillante radialement, l'élément de fixation 31 présente une jupe 36 sensiblement cylindrique dont le diamètre est sensiblement constant, ou présentant une faible dépouille pour permettre son démoulage, et qui s'étend sur sensiblement toute la hauteur du col 3 du flacon 2 (voir figure 1).Under the flange 33 projecting radially, the fastening element 31 has a substantially cylindrical skirt 36 whose diameter is substantially constant, or having a low clearance to allow its demolding, and which extends over substantially the entire height of the neck 3 of the bottle 2 (see figure 1 ).

L'élément de fixation 31 a été mis au point pour insérer des dispositifs de distribution 6 de type pompe.The fastener 31 has been developed to insert pump type dispensing devices 6.

Deux modes de réalisation de pompes sont illustrés schématiquement en figures 3 et 4.Two embodiments of pumps are schematically illustrated in Figures 3 and 4 .

En figure 3, est représentée schématiquement un dispositif de distribution 6 du type « pompe à claquer 6 » comportant un bouton poussoir 7, relié à un corps de pompe 5, lui-même relié à un tube de prélèvement 15.In figure 3 is schematically represented a distribution device 6 of the type "slam pump 6" comprising a push button 7, connected to a pump body 5, itself connected to a sampling tube 15.

Le corps de pompe 5 est solidaire d'un anneau 8 à sections radiales 9 uniformément réparties autour de l'axe Z1 de la pompe 6.The pump body 5 is integral with a ring 8 with radial sections 9 uniformly distributed around the axis Z1 of the pump 6.

L'anneau 8 est réalisé dans un matériau souple : les sections radiales 9 peuvent ainsi s'orienter vers l'intérieur de l'anneau 8 par simple pression extérieure sur l'anneau 8. Chacune des sections radiales comporte une saillie interne 10.The ring 8 is made of a flexible material: the radial sections 9 can thus be oriented towards the inside of the ring 8 by simple external pressure on the ring 8. Each of the radial sections has an internal projection 10.

La tête de la pompe 6 montrée en figure 3 comporte également une jupe mobile 11 réalisée par un cylindre creux, mobile suivant la direction axiale de la pompe (du haut vers le bas sur la figure 3). En déplaçant la jupe mobile 11 vers l'anneau 8 à sections radiales 9, une pression extérieure s'exerce sur chacune des sections radiales 9, ce qui déforme les sections radiales 9 et les pousse vers l'axe Z1 de la pompe 6.The head of the pump 6 shown in figure 3 also comprises a mobile skirt 11 made by a hollow cylinder, movable in the axial direction of the pump (from top to bottom on the figure 3 ). By moving the movable skirt 11 towards the ring 8 with radial sections 9, an external pressure is exerted on each of the radial sections 9, which deforms the radial sections 9 and pushes them towards the axis Z1 of the pump 6.

La figure 4 montre un autre dispositif de distribution 6 du type « pompe à sertir 6 ».The figure 4 shows another dispensing device 6 of the type "crimping pump 6".

La pompe 6 montrée en figure 4 comporte un bouton poussoir 7, relié à un corps de pompe 5, lui-même relié à un tube de prélèvement 15.The pump 6 shown in figure 4 comprises a push button 7, connected to a pump body 5, itself connected to a sampling tube 15.

Le corps de pompe 5 est également solidaire d'une jupe 12 coaxiale, sensiblement cylindrique et s'évasant vers le bas (dans la direction opposée au bouton poussoir 7). La jupe 12 est réalisée en un matériau déformable tel que de l'aluminium. La jupe 12 est parfois qualifiée de « coupelle en aluminium ». La fixation de cette pompe sur un col obtenu par sertissage, c'est-à-dire par déformation de la jupe déformable 12 sur le col. Cette déformation assure une fixation irréversible.The pump body 5 is also integral with a skirt 12 coaxial, substantially cylindrical and flaring downward (in the direction opposite the push button 7). The skirt 12 is made of a deformable material such as aluminum. The skirt 12 is sometimes referred to as an "aluminum cup". Fixing this pump on a neck obtained by crimping, that is to say by deformation of the deformable skirt 12 on the neck. This deformation provides irreversible fixation.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation non illustré, la pompe peut être du type « pompe à visser ».According to another embodiment not illustrated, the pump may be of the type "screw pump".

Les figures 1 et 5 illustrent des pompes à claquer fixées sur des éléments de fixation 31.The figures 1 and 5 illustrate slam pumps attached to fasteners 31.

Sur la figure 1, la jupe cylindrique mobile 11 et l'anneau 8 à sections radiales 9 sont schématiquement représentées par une jupe cylindrique qui porte la référence 40 qui s'étend axialement autour du corps de pompe 5 et qui présente un épaulement interne 41 (ou bourrelet interne).On the figure 1 , the movable cylindrical skirt 11 and the ring 8 with radial sections 9 are schematically represented by a cylindrical skirt which bears the reference 40 which extends axially around the pump body 5 and which has an internal shoulder 41 (or internal bead) .

La jupe cylindrique 40 et son épaulement interne 41 constitue un organe de fixation pour le dispositif de distribution 6 et cet organe est solidaire du corps du dispositif de distribution 6.The cylindrical skirt 40 and its internal shoulder 41 constitutes a fixing member for the dispensing device 6 and this member is integral with the body of the dispensing device 6.

L'épaulement interne 41 correspond aux saillies 10 des sections radiales de l'anneau 8 pour la pompe montrée en figure 3.The internal shoulder 41 corresponds to the projections 10 of the radial sections of the ring 8 for the pump shown in FIG. figure 3 .

La figure 7 montre un agrandissement des moyens de fixation de la pompe 6 à claquer sur un autre élément de fixation 31, comme il sera vu par la suite.The figure 7 shows an enlargement of the fixing means of the pump 6 to slam on another fastener 31, as will be seen later.

Sur la figure 2, l'élément de fixation 31 comporte une cheminée 42 coaxiale interne (voir figure 2) comportant un bourrelet 43 à son extrémité supérieure, la cheminée 42 et le bourrelet 43 présentant des dimensions telles que la jupe 40 du dispositif de distribution 6 peut y être fixée autour, par exemple un diamètre extérieur de l'ordre de 13 mm. Les dimensions de cette cheminée 42 sont donc de l'ordre des dimensions des cols des flacons de parfum classiquement utilisés avec des pompes à claquer ou à sertir. Ainsi, l'élément de fixation 31 a une fonction d'adaptateur pour permettre la fixation d'une pompe classique destinée à un col de diamètre de l'ordre de 10 à 15 mm, sur un flacon dont le col présente un diamètre bien supérieur, par exemple au moins deux ou trois fois supérieur.On the figure 2 , the fastening element 31 comprises an internal coaxial chimney 42 (see FIG. figure 2 ) having a bead 43 at its upper end, the chimney 42 and the bead 43 having dimensions such that the skirt 40 of the dispensing device 6 can be fixed around, for example an outer diameter of about 13 mm. The dimensions of this chimney 42 are therefore of the order of the necks of the perfume bottles conventionally used with slamming or crimping pumps. Thus, the fixing element 31 has an adapter function to allow the attachment of a conventional pump for a neck of diameter of the order of 10 to 15 mm, on a bottle whose neck has a much larger diameter. for example at least two or three times higher.

Afin d'assurer une bonne étanchéité entre l'élément de fixation 31 et la surface interne de la paroi du col 3 du flacon, l'élément de fixation 31 présente une gorge radiale 44, ménagée sous la collerette 33, apte à accueillir un joint torique 45 (montré en figure 1).In order to ensure a good seal between the fastening element 31 and the inner surface of the wall of the neck 3 of the bottle, the fastening element 31 has a radial groove 44, formed under the flange 33, suitable for receiving a seal O-ring 45 (shown in figure 1 ).

Le joint torique 45 est de section plus large que la profondeur de la gorge radiale 44 de sorte qu'une partie de joint torique 45 est saillante par rapport à la surface de l'élément de fixation 31 quand le joint torique 45 est inséré dans la gorge 44. Cela permet un écrasement du joint torique 45 sur la surface interne du col 3, créant ainsi une étanchéité entre l'élément de fixation 31 et l'intérieur du col 3.The O-ring 45 has a section wider than the depth of the radial groove 44 so that an O-ring portion 45 is protruding from the surface of the fastener 31 when the O-ring 45 is inserted into the This allows crushing of the O-ring 45 on the inner surface of the neck 3, thus creating a seal between the fastening element 31 and the inside of the neck 3.

Pour verrouiller le positionnement et masquer la collerette 33 de l'élément de fixation 31 après insertion de ce dernier dans le col 3 du flacon, on prévoit un anneau plat de verrouillage 38 (figure 1).To lock the positioning and hide the flange 33 of the fixing element 31 after insertion of the latter into the neck 3 of the bottle, a flat locking ring 38 is provided ( figure 1 ).

L'anneau plat de verrouillage 38 est apte à venir envelopper à la fois la collerette 33 et éventuellement une partie du dispositif de distribution 6 afin de le solidariser à la collerette 33. L'anneau plat de verrouillage 38 a également une fonction esthétique.The flat locking ring 38 is able to come to envelop both the flange 33 and possibly a portion of the dispensing device 6 to secure it to the collar 33. The flat locking ring 38 also has an aesthetic function.

Le dispositif montré en figure 1 comporte enfin un capot 60 (ou capuchon), afin de couvrir le dispositif de distribution 6 et de le protéger, ou d'éviter un appui non intentionnel sur le dispositif de distribution 6 qui entraînerait un actionnement accidentel de la pompe.The device shown in figure 1 finally comprises a cover 60 (or cap), to cover the dispensing device 6 and protect it, or to avoid unintended support on the dispensing device 6 which would cause an accidental actuation of the pump.

Dans le cadre d'un dispositif conforme à l'invention ainsi réalisé, on notera que l'élément de fixation 31 est positionné autour de la cheminée 42, mais à l'intérieur du col 3, c'est-à-dire entre la paroi interne du col 3 du flacon et la cheminée 42.In the context of a device according to the invention thus produced, it will be noted that the fixing element 31 is positioned around the chimney 42, but inside the neck 3, that is to say between the inner wall of the neck 3 of the flask and the chimney 42.

Un autre mode de réalisation est illustré sur les figures 5, 6, 7 et 8.Another embodiment is illustrated on the Figures 5, 6 , 7 and 8 .

Il concerne un autre mode de réalisation de l'élément de fixation 31 notamment.It relates to another embodiment of the fixing element 31 in particular.

L'élément de fixation 31 permet également d'accueillir et de cacher un dispositif de distribution 6.The fastening element 31 can also accommodate and hide a dispensing device 6.

En revanche, l'élément de fixation 31 permet de placer le bouton poussoir 7 du dispositif de distribution 6 à un niveau plus bas que celui auquel se place le bouton poussoir 7 montré en figure 1, par rapport au niveau de l'extrémité du col du récipient.On the other hand, the fastening element 31 makes it possible to place the pushbutton 7 of the dispensing device 6 at a level lower than that at which the pushbutton 7, shown in FIG. figure 1 , relative to the level of the end of the neck of the container.

Pour ce faire l'élément de fixation 31 montré en figures 5 et 6 comporte une double paroi cylindrique, comprenant une paroi externe 46 et une paroi interne 47 (dont la fonction correspond à celle de la cheminée 42 montrée sur l'exemple des figures 1 et 2), les deux parois 46 et 47 étant coaxiales. Les deux parois 46 et 47 se rejoignent à leur extrémité commune 48 (l'extrémité inférieure de chaque paroi 46 et 47 sur la figure 5) et l'extrémité commune 48 est solidaire d'un cylindre 49 coaxiale qui s'étend vers le bas.To do this the fastening element 31 shown in Figures 5 and 6 comprises a double cylindrical wall, comprising an outer wall 46 and an inner wall 47 (whose function corresponds to that of the chimney 42 shown in the example of Figures 1 and 2 ), the two walls 46 and 47 being coaxial. The two walls 46 and 47 meet at their common end 48 (the lower end of each wall 46 and 47 on the figure 5 ) and the common end 48 is integral with a coaxial cylinder 49 which extends downwards.

La paroi interne 47 présente des saillies radiales 80 extérieures, uniformément réparties autour de l'axe Z de l'élément de fixation 31. Les saillies radiales s'étendent sur une partie seulement de la hauteur de la paroi interne 47 et constituent des éléments saillants faisant butée pour retenir l'élément saillant 41 de la jupe 40 du dispositif de distribution 6.The inner wall 47 has external radial projections 80, uniformly distributed around the Z axis of the fastening element 31. The radial projections extend over only a part of the height of the inner wall 47 and constitute salient elements acting as a stop for retaining the projecting element 41 of the skirt 40 of the dispensing device 6.

Le cylindre 49, à l'extrémité duquel les deux parois 46 et 47 sont liées ensemble, présente une gorge annulaire radiale externe 52, ménagée à proximité de l'extrémité 48, apte à accueillir un joint torique 45 (montré en figure 5) pour assurer l'étanchéité de l'ensemble.The cylinder 49, at the end of which the two walls 46 and 47 are bonded together, has an outer radial annular groove 52 formed near the end 48, suitable for receiving an O-ring 45 (shown in FIG. figure 5 ) to seal the assembly.

Le corps 5 du dispositif de distribution 6 est apte à s'insérer dans l'ouverture centrale 50 délimitée par la paroi interne 47. L'espace 51 situé entre la paroi interne 47 et la paroi externe 46 est apte à accueillir la jupe extérieure 11 de la pompe à claquer 6, sensiblement sur toute la hauteur h de la jupe 11.The body 5 of the dispensing device 6 is able to fit into the central opening 50 delimited by the inner wall 47. The space 51 located between the inner wall 47 and the outer wall 46 is able to accommodate the outer skirt 11 of the slam pump 6, substantially over the entire height h of the skirt 11.

Grâce à l'espace 51 situé entre les deux parois externe 46 et interne 47, on peut ainsi insérer davantage le corps 5 de la pompe à claquer 6 dans l'élément de fixation 31 et on obtient une hauteur globale de l'ensemble élément de fixation 31 / dispositif de distribution 6 (pompe à claquer dans le cas présent), moins importante que celle obtenue avec l'élément de fixation 31 montré en figures 1 et 2.Thanks to the space 51 situated between the two outer and inner walls 46 and 47, it is thus possible to further insert the body 5 of the slam pump 6 into the fastening element 31 and an overall height of the element set is obtained. fixation 31 / dispensing device 6 (slamming pump in this case), less than that obtained with the fastening element 31 shown in FIG. Figures 1 and 2 .

Le capuchon 60 venant couvrir le bouton poussoir 7 du dispositif de distribution 6 peut ainsi être moins haut, et donc réalisé avec moins de matière (donc plus économique à la fabrication).The cap 60 that covers the push button 7 of the dispensing device 6 can thus be lower, and therefore made with less material (therefore more economical to manufacture).

La figure 8 montre un autre exemple de dispositif de conditionnement 1 conforme à l'invention, et du type du second mode de réalisation, c'est-à-dire ayant une cheminée 42 ne dépassant pas au-dessus de l'extrémité supérieure du col.The figure 8 shows another example of conditioning device 1 according to the invention, and the type of the second embodiment, that is to say having a chimney 42 not protruding above the upper end of the neck.

Cet exemple reprend donc les mêmes dispositions que l'exemple de la figure 5. Notamment, l'élément de fixation 31 permet d'accueillir et de cacher le dispositif de distribution 6, en positionnant le bouton poussoir 7 à un niveau encore plus bas par rapport aux exemples et modes de réalisation précédents.This example therefore uses the same provisions as the example of the figure 5 . In particular, the fastening element 31 makes it possible to receive and hide the dispensing device 6, by positioning the pushbutton 7 at a level that is even lower than the previous examples and embodiments.

L'élément de fixation 31 est monté sur le col 3 en figure 8 et comporte une double paroi cylindrique, ladite double paroi comprenant une paroi externe 46 et une paroi interne 47 formant une cheminée 42, les deux parois 46, 47 étant coaxiales et se rejoignant à leur extrémité commune 48, inférieure. Cette extrémité commune 48 est alors solidaire d'un cylindre 49 qui s'étend vers le bas, permettant de cacher le dispositif de distribution 6 dans le col. Le dispositif de distribution est par exemple une pompe à claquer 6 monté sur ledit élément de fixation 31 comme explicité pour l'exemple de la figure 5.The fastening element 31 is mounted on the neck 3 in figure 8 and comprises a double cylindrical wall, said double wall comprising an outer wall 46 and an inner wall 47 forming a chimney 42, the two walls 46, 47 being coaxial and joining at their common end 48, lower. This common end 48 is then secured to a cylinder 49 which extends downwards, to hide the dispensing device 6 in the neck. The dispensing device is for example a slamming pump 6 mounted on said fixing element 31 as explained for the example of the figure 5 .

Le capuchon 60 couvre le bouton poussoir 7 pour le protéger, et peut avoir une hauteur réduite, avec donc moins de matière ;The cap 60 covers the push button 7 to protect it, and may have a reduced height, with less material;

La figure 8 montre alors des dispositions additionnelles détaillées ci-dessous, qui peuvent être adaptées aux modes de réalisation et exemples précédemment décrits.The figure 8 then shows additional provisions detailed below, which can be adapted to the embodiments and examples described above.

En plus du joint torique 45 situé ici entre la paroi externe 46 et le col 3, le dispositif de conditionnement 1 comprend en outre un joint de collerette 55 situé entre la collerette 33 et l'extrémité supérieure du col. Les deux joints forment alors une double étanchéité entre l'élément de fixation 31 et le col 3. Le ou les joints 45, 55 peuvent être formés en matériau chimiquement compatible avec le produit à distribuer, par exemple en chlorobutyl ou en silicone. Un espace 53 de forme sensiblement annulaire existe alors entre lesdits joints 45, 55, l'élément de fixation 31 et le col 3. Cet espace 53 peut contenir une colle afin de mieux solidariser l'élément de fixation 31 au col. Les joints protègent ainsi cette colle du produit à distribuer, tel que du parfum, assurant à la fois une meilleure étanchéité et une meilleure durabilité de cette étanchéité.In addition to the O-ring 45 located here between the outer wall 46 and the neck 3, the conditioning device 1 further comprises a flange gasket 55 located between the flange 33 and the upper end of the neck. The two joints form then a double seal between the fastening element 31 and the neck 3. The seal (s) 45, 55 may be formed of material that is chemically compatible with the product to be dispensed, for example chlorobutyl or silicone. A space 53 of substantially annular shape then exists between said seals 45, 55, the fastening element 31 and the neck 3. This space 53 may contain an adhesive to better secure the fastener 31 to the neck. The seals thus protect this adhesive from the product to be dispensed, such as perfume, ensuring both a better seal and a better durability of this seal.

Le col 3 du flacon 2 comprend éventuellement une gorge de clipsage 2a formée sur la face interne du col 3, par exemple à proximité de l'extrémité supérieure du col. Cette gorge est avantageusement située entre le joint torique 45 et le joint de collerette 55. Cette gorge de clipsage 2a peut être préformé à lors de la fabrication de l'ébauche du flacon 2 ou formé après par usinage, par exemple à l'aide d'un laser ou tout autre moyen. Réciproquement, le dispositif de fixation 31 comprend des clips 44, au nombre d'au moins 3 clips, répartis sur une surface externe dudit dispositif de fixation et en regard de ladite gorge de clipsage 2a, afin de coopérer avec cette gorge en s'étendant à l'intérieur lors du montage du dispositif de fixation 31 dans le col 3. Cette coopération entre ladite gorge de clipsage 2a et les clips 44, on garantit un accrochage mécanique, robuste. La fixation entre le dispositif de fixation 31 et le col 3 du flacon 2 est alors améliorée.The neck 3 of the bottle 2 optionally comprises a clipping groove 2a formed on the inner face of the neck 3, for example near the upper end of the neck. This groove is advantageously located between the O-ring 45 and the flange seal 55. This clipping groove 2a can be preformed during the manufacture of the blank of the bottle 2 or formed after machining, for example with the aid of a laser or any other means. Conversely, the fastening device 31 comprises clips 44, at least 3 clips, distributed on an outer surface of said fixing device and facing said clipping groove 2a, in order to cooperate with this groove by extending inside during the mounting of the fastening device 31 in the neck 3. This cooperation between said clipping groove 2a and the clips 44, ensures a mechanical attachment, robust. Fixing between the fixing device 31 and the neck 3 of the bottle 2 is then improved.

Une bague 59 peut également être ajoutée par montage en force entre la jupe 11 du dispositif de distribution 6 et la paroi externe 46 du dispositif de fixation 31 pour induire une contrainte radiale de l'intérieur vers l'extérieur sur cette paroi externe 46. Ainsi, une compression radiale est mieux assurée sur le joint torique 45 et l'étanchéité est améliorée. Cette bague 59 située entre les parois interne et externe peut également réciproquement induire une contrainte radiale de l'extérieur vers l'intérieur pour mieux solidariser le dispositif de distribution 6 à l'élément de fixation 31.A ring 59 may also be added by force fitting between the skirt 11 of the dispensing device 6 and the external wall 46 of the fastening device 31 to induce a radial stress from the inside to the outside on this outer wall 46. , radial compression is better ensured on the O-ring 45 and the seal is improved. This ring 59 located between the inner and outer walls may also reciprocally induce a radial stress from the outside towards the inside to better secure the distribution device 6 to the fixing element 31.

Enfin, un joint d'angle 56 peut également être prévu entre l'anneau plat de verrouillage 38 et l'élément de fixation 31 afin d'encore améliorer l'étanchéité. L'anneau plat de verrouillage 38 de l'exemple de la figure 8 a une portion cylindrique qui s'étend à l'intérieur de l'élément de fixation 31 et lui est également accroché par des clips périphériques de cette portion cylindrique, mettant le joint d'angle 56 en compression afin d'obtenir une meilleure étanchéité, et une meilleure fixation.Finally, an angle joint 56 may also be provided between the flat locking ring 38 and the fixing element 31 to further improve the seal. The flat locking ring 38 of the example of the figure 8 has a cylindrical portion which extends inside the fastening element 31 and is also hooked by peripheral clips of this cylindrical portion, putting the corner joint 56 in compression to obtain a better seal, and better fixing.

Les deux modes de réalisation illustrés aux figures 1, 5 et 8 montrent donc qu'il est possible de concevoir des éléments de fixation 31 dont la cheminée 42 formée par la paroi interne 47 de l'élément de fixation 31 est en saillie ou non de la collerette 33 (dépasse ou non du niveau de l'extrémité du col dans la direction vers le haut de l'axe Z) . Une pompe à claquer peut être utilisée dans les deux modes de réalisation car son encliquetage sur la cheminée est simple. En revanche, pour utiliser une pompe à sertir, on privilégiera le premier mode de réalisation dans lequel la cheminée est en saille de la collerette, car l'espace disponible pour le sertissage de la coupelle métallique est plus grand que dans le deuxième mode de réalisation. Toutefois, dans le cas d'un flacon dont le col présente un grand diamètre, il est possible d'utiliser également une pompe à sertir dans le deuxième mode de réalisation, à condition de prévoir suffisamment d'espace libre autour de la cheminée.The two embodiments illustrated in figures 1 , 5 and 8 show therefore that it is possible to design fastening elements 31 whose chimney 42 formed by the inner wall 47 of the fastening element 31 is projecting or not from the flange 33 (exceeds or not the level of the end neck in the direction up the Z axis). A slamming pump can be used in both embodiments because its snapping on the chimney is simple. On the other hand, to use a crimping pump, the first embodiment in which the chimney is in contact with the flange is preferred, since the space available for crimping the metal cup is greater than in the second embodiment. . However, in the case of a bottle whose neck has a large diameter, it is possible to use also a crimping pump in the second embodiment, provided to provide sufficient free space around the chimney.

On notera que dans les modes de réalisation décrits, le flacon et le col sont réalisés en verre mais on reste dans le cadre de l'invention en utilisant d'autres matériaux, notamment des matières plastiques.Note that in the embodiments described, the bottle and the neck are made of glass but it remains within the scope of the invention using other materials, including plastics.

Par exemple, le flacon pourrait être réalisé en matière opaque.For example, the bottle could be made of opaque material.

Il en va de même pour la matière dans laquelle est réalisé l'élément de fixation 31 : il pourrait, par exemple, être réalisé au moins partiellement en métal.The same applies to the material in which the fixing element 31 is made: it could, for example, be made at least partially of metal.

Enfin, le joint torique réalisant l'étanchéité n'est pas forcément rapporté sur l'élément de fixation mais pourrait être réalisé par bi-injection.Finally, the O-ring performing the seal is not necessarily attached to the fastener but could be made by bi-injection.
