Abstract

The container consists of a body (12) housing a first chamber (20) designed to hold a first product, with a second chamber (22) for a second product linked to the first via a passage (24) closed by a stopper (26). The stopper is attached to one chamber which has an extending zone (46) in its wall allowing the stopper to be removed and the passage (24) to be freed when the wall is extended. The extending wall zone is in the shape of a bellows, and the chamber containing it has a neck at the opposite end to the passage (24) which connects with an outlet (18) for the mixture of the two products. The stopper itself comprises a hollow shaft (29), generally cylindrical in shape and having a lengthwise channel (44). The two chambers are closed by a cap (48) prior to use.

Description

La présente invention concerne une récipient de distribution de produits permettant un mélange extemporané de produits, notamment de produits cosmétiques ou parapharmaceutiques.The present invention relates to a product distribution container allowing an extemporaneous mixing of products, in particular cosmetic or parapharmaceutical products.

Un mélange extemporané est un mélange de produits ayant une durée de conservation limitée dans le temps, et dont les constituants ne sont mélangés qu'au moment de la première utilisation du récipient.An extemporaneous mixture is a mixture of products having a shelf life limited in time, and the constituents of which are mixed only when the container is first used.

A cet effet, il est habituel, dans le cas d'un mélange de deux produits, de conserver chacun des produits dans une chambre respective d'un récipient, les chambres étant mises en communication au moment de la première utilisation du récipient.For this purpose, it is usual, in the case of a mixture of two products, to store each of the products in a respective chamber of a container, the chambers being placed in communication at the time of the first use of the container.

On connaît de tels récipients de distribution de produits du type comprenant un corps délimitant une première chambre destinée à contenir un premier produit et une deuxième chambre destinée à contenir un deuxième produit et reliée à la première chambre par un passage d'écoulement de produit entre lesdites chambres, un organe d'obturation dudit passage monté axialement déplaçable dans le corps entre une première position d'obturation du passage et une deuxième position de libération dudit passage en vue du mélange desdits produits, et des moyens de distribution de produit associés à l'une desdites chambres.There are known such product distribution containers of the type comprising a body delimiting a first chamber intended to contain a first product and a second chamber intended to contain a second product and connected to the first chamber by a product flow passage between said chambers, a member for closing said passage mounted axially displaceable in the body between a first position for closing the passage and a second position for releasing said passage for mixing said products, and means for distributing product associated with the one of said chambers.

Dans les récipients de distribution de ce type, la manoeuvre de l'organe d'obturation s'effectue en appliquant un effort sur une membrane élastiquement déformable placée à l'intérieur de l'une des chambres et sur laquelle s'appuie l'organe d'obturation.In dispensing containers of this type, the shutter member is operated by applying a force to an elastically deformable membrane placed inside one of the chambers and on which the member rests. shutter.

Ces récipients présentent de nombreux inconvénients, notamment en raison du fait qu'ils sont constitués d'un assemblage d'au moins quatre pièces ce qui rend leur réalisation dans une chaîne de fabrication à cadence élevée relativement coûteuse.These containers have numerous drawbacks, in particular due to the fact that they consist of an assembly of at least four parts, which makes their production in a high-speed production line relatively expensive.

Le but de l'invention est de pallier cet inconvénient et de fournir un récipient de distribution de produits constitué d'un nombre relativement faible de pièces.The object of the invention is to overcome this drawback and to provide a product distribution container made up of a relatively small number of parts.

Elle a donc pour objet un récipient du type précité, caractérisé en ce que l'organe d'obturation étant porté par la paroi de l'une desdites chambres, ladite paroi comporte une zone extensible destinée à provoquer, au cours de son extension, la libération dudit passage, et en ce qu'il comporte des moyens amovibles de maintien de l'organe d'obturation en position d'obturation dudit passage.It therefore relates to a container of the aforementioned type, characterized in that the closure member being carried by the wall of one of said chambers, said wall comprises an expandable zone intended to cause, during its extension, the release of said passage, and in that it comprises removable means for holding the shutter member in the closed position of said passage.

  • la paroi de ladite deuxième chambre forme un col s'étendant à l'opposé dudit passage d'écoulement et débouchant par un orifice de sortie de produit dont le bord délimite un siège pour l'organe d'obturation ;
  • l'organe d'obturation comporte une queue munie d'une première extrémité portant un obturateur proprement dit et une extrémité opposée munie d'un rebord annulaire venant en appui sur ledit siège ;
  • l'obturateur est réalisé en un matériau élastiquement déformable surmoulé sur ladite queue ;
  • ladite queue a une forme générale cylindrique et est munie en son centre d'un canal longitudinal d'écoulement de produit et, entre lesdites extrémités opposées, de perforations ;
  • le récipient comporte en outre un capuchon muni de moyens de fixation sur ledit col ;
  • le capuchon est muni d'un conduit longitudinal de distribution de produit obturé par une pointe d'extrémité sécable et destiné à venir en communication avec ledit canal longitudinal d'écoulement de produit ;
  • les moyens de maintien de l'organe d'obturation en position d'obturation dudit passage d'écoulement de produit comportent une jupe périphérique externe reliée au capuchon par des moyens frangibles d'inviolabilité et munie d'une collerette interne délimitant une rampe d'encliquetage sur un bourrelet périphérique externe ménagée dans ledit corps ; et
  • ledit capuchon comporte une jupe interne d'étanchéité destinée à coopérer avec la surface interne de la queue.
The container according to the invention can also have one or more of the following characteristics:
  • the extendable zone is constituted by a bellows formed in the wall of said second chamber and delimiting said extendable zone;
  • it further comprises an elastically deformable member associated with the wall of said second chamber and urging the closure member in the release position of said product flow passage;

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages ressortiront de la description suivante, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en référence aux dessins annexés sur lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en coupe longitudinale d'un récipient selon l'invention en position d'obturation du passage d'écoulement de produit ;
  • la figure 2 est une vue en coupe longitudinale du flacon représenté sur la figure 1, en position de libération du passage d'écoulement de produit ; et
  • la figure 3 est une vue éclatée du flacon des figures 1 et 2.
Other characteristics and advantages will emerge from the following description, given solely by way of example and made with reference to the appended drawings in which:
  • Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of a container according to the invention in the closed position of the product flow passage;
  • Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the bottle shown in Figure 1, in the release position of the product flow passage; and
  • FIG. 3 is an exploded view of the bottle of FIGS. 1 and 2.

Sur les figures 1 et 2 on a représenté un flacon de distribution de produit selon l'invention, respectivement en position de stockage et en position d'utilisation.In Figures 1 and 2 there is shown a product dispensing bottle according to the invention, respectively in the storage position and in the use position.

Le récipient, désigné par la référence générale 10 comporte un axe de symétrie X-X supposé vertical.The container, designated by the general reference 10 has an axis of symmetry XX assumed to be vertical.

Le récipient 10 réalisé en matériau plastique, principalement du polyéthylène ou du polypropylène, comporte un corps creux 12 muni d'une extrémité inférieure ou postérieure 14 fermée et d'une extrémité opposée supérieure et antérieure 16 ouverte formant un col débouchant par un goulot 18.The container 10 made of plastic material, mainly polyethylene or polypropylene, comprises a hollow body 12 provided with a closed lower or rear end 14 and with an open opposite upper and front end 16 forming a neck opening out through a neck 18.

Le corps creux 12 délimite une première chambre 20 contenant un premier produit, par exemple un solvant, et une deuxième chambre 22 contenant un deuxième produit, par exemple une substance sous forme de poudre destinée à être mélangée au solvant lors de l'utilisation du récipient.The hollow body 12 defines a first chamber 20 containing a first product, for example a solvent, and a second chamber 22 containing a second product, for example a substance in the form of powder intended to be mixed with the solvent when the container is used .

Les première 20 et deuxième 22 chambres sont reliées par un passage d'écoulement de produit 24 constitué par un rétrécissement de section du corps 12. Ce passage d'écoulement de produit 24 est obturé, en position de stockage du récipient 10, par un organe d'obturation 26 monté axialement déplaçable dans le corps 12, parallèlement à l'axe de symétrie X-X, entre une première position d'obturation du passage 24, représentée sur la figure 1 et une deuxième position de libération du passage 24, représentée sur la figure 2.The first 20 and second 22 chambers are connected by a product flow passage 24 constituted by a narrowing of the section of the body 12. This product flow passage 24 is closed, in the storage position of the container 10, by a member shutter 26 mounted axially movable in the body 12, parallel to the axis of symmetry XX, between a first position for closing the passage 24, shown in FIG. 1 and a second position for releasing the passage 24, shown in the figure 2.

L'organe d'obturation 26 est constitué d'un obturateur 28 proprement dit et d'une queue 29 de manoeuvre de celui-ci de forme générale cylindrique et s'étendant dans la deuxième cavité 22 le long de l'axe X-X.The shutter member 26 consists of a shutter 28 proper and a tail 29 for operating the latter of generally cylindrical shape and extending in the second cavity 22 along the axis X-X.

La queue 29 a une forme générale cylindrique et comporte une premiere zone d'extrémité inférieure 30 fermée sur liquelle est fixé l'obturateur 28 et d'une deuxième zone d'extrémité supérieure 32 ouverte, dont la face d'extrémité est munie d'un rebord annulaire 34 en appui sur un sièqe 36 constitué par le bord libre du col 16.The tail 29 has a generally cylindrical shape and has a first lower end zone 30 closed on a liquelle, the shutter 28 is fixed and a second upper upper end zone 32 open, the end face of which is provided with an annular rim 34 bearing on a seat 36 formed by the free edge of the neck 16.

L'obturateur 28 est réalisé à partir d'une matière élastiquement déformable, tel qu'un élastomère, et a une section transversale de diamètre sensiblement inférieur, au repos, au diamètre interne du passage d'écoulement du produit 24 afin d'assurer une étanchéité efficace pour interdire la communication entre les première 20 et deuxième 22 chambres lors du stockage du récipient 10.The shutter 28 is made from an elastically deformable material, such as an elastomer, and has a cross section of diameter substantially smaller, at rest, than the internal diameter of the product flow passage 24 in order to ensure an effective seal to prevent communication between the first 20 and second 22 chambers during storage of the container 10.

L'obturateur 28 comporte sur sa surface périphérique externe des irrégularités de surfaces 38 pour permettre en outre une libération aisée du passage 24 lors de l'utilisation du récipient.The shutter 28 has on its external peripheral surface irregularities of surfaces 38 to further allow easy release of the passage 24 during use of the container.

La queue 29 comporte en outre une zone médiane 40 munie de perforations 42 et comporte, en son centre, un canal 44 longitudinal d'écoulement de produit s'étendant le long de la zone médiane 40 et de la zone d'extrémité supérieure 32.The tail 29 further comprises a central zone 40 provided with perforations 42 and comprises, in its center, a longitudinal product flow channel 44 extending along the central zone 40 and the upper end zone 32.

Les perforations 42 mettent en communication la deuxième chambre 22 et le canal 44 d'écoulement de produit.The perforations 42 connect the second chamber 22 and the product flow channel 44.

On voit également sur les figures 1 et 2 que la paroi du corps 12 délimitant la deuxième chambre 22 comporte une zone extensible 46 constituée par un soufflet élastiquement déformable.It can also be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2 that the wall of the body 12 delimiting the second chamber 22 comprises an extensible zone 46 constituted by an elastically deformable bellows.

Le soufflet 46 constitue un ressort et se situe à l'état contraint en position de stockage du récipient 10 et à l'état non contraint en position d'utilisation du récipient 10.The bellows 46 constitutes a spring and is in the constrained state in the storage position of the container 10 and in the unstressed state in the position of use of the container 10.

On voit sur les figures 1 et 2 que le récipient 10 est complété par un capuchon 48 muni d'une première zone d'extrémité supérieure 50, d'une zone médiane 52 et d'une zone d'extrémité inférieure 54.It can be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2 that the container 10 is completed by a cap 48 provided with a first upper end zone 50, a middle zone 52 and a lower end zone 54.

La zone d'extrémité supérieure 50 a une forme générale sensiblement conique et délimite intérieurement un conduit longitudinal de distribution de produit 56 de section régulièrement décroissante en direction du sommet de la zone d'extrémité 50.The upper end zone 50 has a generally substantially conical shape and internally delimits a longitudinal product distribution duct 56 of regularly decreasing section in the direction of the top of the end zone 50.

Le dimensionnement du conduit 56 de distribution de produit est de préférence adapté pour assurer une distribution goutte à goutte de produit. Il est obturé en aval, en considérant le sens d'écoulement de produit, par une pointe d'extrémité sphérique 58 sécable.The dimensioning of the product distribution conduit 56 is preferably adapted to ensure drop by drop distribution of product. It is closed downstream, considering the direction of product flow, by a breakable spherical end point 58.

La zone médiane 52 du capuchon 48 a une forme sensiblement tronconique. Elle est munie sur sa surface externe de rainures 60 longitudinales coaxiales délimitant une surface de manoeuvre actionnable manuellement par un utilisateur et, sur sa surface interne, d'un filetage 62 coopérant avec un filetage complémentaire 64 ménagé dans la surface périphérique externe du col 16.The central region 52 of the cap 48 has a substantially frustoconical shape. It is provided on its external surface with coaxial longitudinal grooves 60 delimiting an operating surface which can be actuated manually by a user and, on its internal surface, with a thread 62 cooperating with a complementary thread 64 formed in the external peripheral surface of the neck 16.

On voit également sur les figures 1 et 2 que la zone médiane 52 comporte en outre une jupe interne 66 prolongeant en amont la zone d'extrémité supérieure 50 du capuchon 48 et coopérant avec la surface interne de la queue 29 en vue d'assurer une étanchéité efficace entre le capuchon 48 et la queue 29.It can also be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2 that the central zone 52 further comprises an internal skirt 66 extending upstream the upper end zone 50 of the cap 48 and cooperating with the internal surface of the tail 29 in order to ensure a effective seal between the cap 48 and the tail 29.

Enfin, la zone d'extrémité inférieure 54 du capuchon 48 est constituée par une jupe externe de forme générale cylindrique reliée à la zone médiane 52 par un anneau déchirable 68. La jupe externe 54 est munie de deux lignes longitudinales opposées de moindre résistance mécanique (non représentées) délimitant deux zones hémicylindriques amovibles.Finally, the lower end region 54 of the cap 48 is constituted by an external skirt of generally cylindrical shape connected to the central zone 52 by a tearable ring 68. The external skirt 54 is provided with two opposite longitudinal lines of less mechanical resistance ( not shown) delimiting two removable semi-cylindrical zones.

Par ailleurs, la jupe externe 54 est munie au voisinage de son extrémité libre d'une collerette interne 70 délimitant une rampe d'encliquetage sur un bourrelet 72 périphérique externe ménagé dans la paroi du corps 12.Furthermore, the external skirt 54 is provided in the vicinity of its free end with an internal flange 70 delimiting a snap-on ramp on an external peripheral bead 72 formed in the wall of the body 12.

Pour l'assemblage et le remplissage d'un tel récipient, on remplit tout d'abord, dans une chaîne de remplissage la première chambre 20 du corps 12 à l'aide d'une canne de remplissage insérée dans la première chambre 20.For the assembly and filling of such a container, the first chamber 20 of the body 12 is first filled in a filling chain using a filling rod inserted in the first chamber 20.

La canne de remplissage est escamotée et le flacon se situe dans la configuration représentée sur la figure 3.The filling rod is retracted and the bottle is in the configuration shown in FIG. 3.

On positionne ensuite la queue 29 équipée de l'obturateur 28 dans la deuxième chambre 22 de sorte que le rebord annulaire périphérique 34 vienne en appui sur le siège 36 du col 16 et que l'obturateur 28 soit inséré de façon étanche dans le passage 24 d'écoulement de produit.The tail 29 fitted with the shutter 28 is then positioned in the second chamber 22 so that the peripheral annular rim 34 comes to bear on the seat 36 of the neck 16 and that the shutter 28 is inserted in leaktight manner in the passage 24 product flow.

Il est à noter que, dans cette position, le soufflet 46 se situe à l'état contraint, l'effort de friction appliqué par l'obturateur 28 sur la paroi interne du passage 24 d'écoulement de produit s'exerçant à l'encontre de l'effort appliqué par le soufflet sur la queue 29.It should be noted that, in this position, the bellows 46 is in the constrained state, the friction force applied by the shutter 28 on the internal wall of the passage 24 for product flow being exerted on the against the force applied by the bellows on the tail 29.

Une deuxième canne de remplissage est alors insérée dans le canal 44 d'écoulement de produit et la deuxième chambre est emplie d'un deuxième produit, lequel produit s'écoule à travers les perforations 42.A second filling rod is then inserted into the product flow channel 44 and the second chamber is filled with a second product, which product flows through the perforations 42.

Le corps 12, équipé de la queue 29 et de l'obturateur 28 est alors coiffé par le capuchon 48 dont la jupe interne 66 s'insère dans le col 16 en appui contre la surface interne de la queue 29.The body 12, equipped with the tail 29 and the shutter 28 is then capped by the cap 48, the internal skirt 66 of which is inserted in the neck 16 bearing against the internal surface of the tail 29.

Le capuchon 48 est ensuite vissé sur le col 16 de sorte que la collerette 70 s'encliquette sur le bourrelet périphérique 72.The cap 48 is then screwed onto the neck 16 so that the collar 70 snaps onto the peripheral bead 72.

le récipient se situe alors dans la position représentée sur la figure 1, dans laquelle l'organe d'obturation 26 est verrouillé en position d'obturation du passage 24 d'écoulement de produit sous l'action de la jupe externe 54 encliquetée dans le bourrelet 72.the container is then located in the position shown in FIG. 1, in which the shutter member 26 is locked in the shutter position of the product flow passage 24 under the action of the external skirt 54 snapped into the bead 72.

Lors de l'utilisation du récipient, et comme mentionné précédemment, les deux produits contenus dans les chambres 20 et 22 doivent être mélangés extemporanément.When using the container, and as mentioned above, the two products contained in the chambers 20 and 22 must be mixed immediately.

Pour ce faire, l'utilisateur déchire l'anneau déchirable 68 et sépare les deux parties hémisphériques constitutives de la jupe externe 54.To do this, the user tears the tearable ring 68 and separates the two hemispherical parts constituting the external skirt 54.

L'utilisateur exerce alors une légère traction sur la surface de manoeuvre du capuchon, ce qui provoque une extension du soufflet 46 ainsi qu'un déplacement de l'organe d'obturation 26 de sa position de stockage représentée sur la figure 1 vers sa position de libération du passage 24, représentée sur la figure 2.The user then exerts a slight traction on the operating surface of the cap, which causes an extension of the bellows 46 as well as a displacement of the closure member 26 from its storage position shown in FIG. 1 towards its position. passage 24, shown in Figure 2.

L'utilisateur agite alors le flacon de manière à effectuer un mélange efficace des deux produits.The user then shakes the bottle so as to effect an effective mixing of the two products.

Il est à noter que dans cette position le capuchon 48 obture de façon étanche le goulot 18 du corps.It should be noted that in this position the cap 48 sealingly seals the neck 18 of the body.

Pour la distribution du mélange, l'utilisateur casse la pointe sécable 58 et provoque l'écoulement du produit à travers le conduit 56 de distribution en retournant le produit et, le cas échéant, en exerçant une pression sur la zone d'extrémité supérieure 50 du capuchon 48.For the distribution of the mixture, the user breaks the breakable tip 58 and causes the product to flow through the distribution conduit 56 by turning the product over and, if necessary, by exerting pressure on the upper end zone 50 cap 48.

On conçoit que le récipient qui vient d'être décrit permet un stockage efficace de deux produits conservés séparément dans une chambre correspondante du récipient.It is understood that the container which has just been described allows efficient storage of two products kept separately in a corresponding chamber of the container.

En outre, le récipient étant constitué de trois parties, à savoir le corps 12, l'organe d'obturation 26 et le capuchon 48, ce récipient peut être fabriqué à faible coût dans une chaîne de fabrication à cadence élevée.In addition, the container being made up of three parts, namely the body 12, the closure member 26 and the cap 48, this container can be produced at low cost in a high-speed production line.

Dans l'exemple de réalisation qui vient d'être décrit, la libération du passage 24 d'écoulement de produit s'effectue en exerçant une traction sur la surface de manoeuvre du capuchon.In the embodiment which has just been described, the release of the product flow passage 24 is effected by exerting traction on the operating surface of the cap.

Il est possible, dans un mode de réalisation non représenté, de doter le récipient d'un organe élastiquement déformable associé à la deuxième chambre 22 et sollicitant l'organe d'obturation en position de libération du passage.It is possible, in an embodiment not shown, to provide the container with an elastically deformable member associated with the second chamber 22 and requesting the shutter member in the passage release position.

Dès lors, dès que la jupe externe 54 de maintien de l'organe d'obturation en position d'obturation est ôté, l'organe élastiquement déformable provoque de manière automatique la libération du passage.Consequently, as soon as the external skirt 54 for holding the shutter member in the shutter position is removed, the elastically deformable member automatically causes the passage to be released.

Bien entendu, dans ce mode de réalisation, pour le remplissage de la deuxième chambre, il est nécessaire d'exercer un effort sur le bord libre du col de manière à maintenir le soufflet à l'état contraint, s'exerçant à l'encontre de la force exercée par l'organe élastiquement déformable.Of course, in this embodiment, for the filling of the second chamber, it is necessary to exert a force on the free edge of the neck so as to maintain the bellows in the constrained state, acting against of the force exerted by the elastically deformable member.

Selon encore un autre mode de réalisation, il est possible de doter le col d'un filetage de longueur supérieure et d'équiper la jupe externe d'un filetage interne complémentaire, la rotation de cette jupe provoquant alors l'extension du soufflet.According to yet another embodiment, it is possible to provide the neck with a thread of greater length and to equip the outer skirt with a complementary internal thread, the rotation of this skirt then causing the extension of the bellows.

Dès lors, le passage du récipient de la position d'obturation du passage d'écoulement de produit vers la position de libération de ce passage s'effectue en dévissant le capuchon, ce qui provoque une extension du soufflet.Therefore, the passage of the container from the closed position of the product flow passage to the position of release of this passage is effected by unscrewing the cap, which causes an extension of the bellows.
