Definitions
- the present invention relates to devices for packaging and distribution of a product, in particular a cosmetic product, and more particularly those comprising a pump screwed onto the threaded neck of a container containing the product.
- the outer ring avoids having to provide on the fixed part of the special anti-unscrewing means such as notches or having to crimp the pump on the container neck. The manufacture of the device is thereby facilitated.
- the presence of the lip makes it possible to delay, or even prevent, the entry of sand in the pump by the play existing between the fixed part and the mobile part and thus reduce the risk of seizure of the pump mechanism or accumulation of dirt.
- the outer ring comprising a tubular body, the aforementioned lip is of preferably carried out in one piece with this body.
- the body of the outer ring is made, at least partially, in a material rigid enough that a user cannot, without using a tool, deform the outer ring to the point of preventing it from rotating relative to the fixed part of the pump and thus be able to unscrew it.
- the outer ring can in particular be produced at least partially, and preferably entirely, in a polyolefin such than polypropylene or polyethylene.
- Other plastics may be used without departing from the scope of the present invention, such as for example polyamides or POM, in particular DELRIN®.
- the outer ring can optionally be coated, on its inner surface, a fluoropolymer, for example polytetrafluroethylene, in order to improve its sliding on the fixed part.
- a fluoropolymer for example polytetrafluroethylene
- the applicant company was able to observe that, surprisingly, even in completely molding the ring in a relatively rigid material such as polypropylene, the aforementioned lip can fulfill its function without whitening or splitting, during use, despite close contact with the moving part.
- the lip has a circular inner edge, whose diameter before mounting the outer ring on the fixed part is less than outside diameter of the surface of the movable part to which this lip is applied.
- the difference between the diameter of the inner edge of the lip before mounting the ring on the fixed part and that of the corresponding surface of the mobile part can for example be greater than or equal to 1 mm, in particular being greater than or equal to 1.3 mm, for example be between 1.3 and 1.4 mm.
- the manufacturing tolerances of the movable part and the outer ring can be relatively large, which facilitates the realization thereof.
- this can allow, if necessary, to use the same outer ring with models of different pump, whose dimensions differ slightly, and therefore to achieve a economy of scale.
- the lip of the outer ring applies by all its circumference on the movable part, but it is not beyond the scope of the present invention if in places, the lip deviates from the moving part, due to an ovalization phenomenon for example.
- the thickness of the body of the outer ring is preferably greater than that at least a portion of the lip, which portion may for example extend radially over more than half of the total radial dimension of the lip, or even over its entirety.
- the ratio of the average thickness of the lip to the average thickness of the body of the ring exterior is for example less than 1/2, or even less than 1/3.
- the lip extends, before mounting the ring outside on the fixed part of the pump, in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the outer ring.
- the radially inner edge of the lip has a beveled portion, which can define a frustoconical surface diverging towards the container.
- This bevelled portion may not extend over all the thickness of the lip and in particular extend only over part of the thickness of the lip, from a lower face thereof.
- the outer ring may include at least one relief making it unremovable.
- the outer ring may in particular comprise, at its lower end, at least one tooth, for example three teeth, projecting inwards, arranged for snap under the fixed part.
- the packaging and distribution device 1 shown in FIG. 1 comprises a container 2 and a pump 3 mounted on this container 2 for dispensing a product contained inside, for example a cosmetic product such as a cream, a oil or sunscreen milk or after-sun.
- a cosmetic product such as a cream, a oil or sunscreen milk or after-sun.
- the container 2 comprises a body 4 which can have any shape and a collar 5, externally threaded.
- the pump 3 comprises a fixed part 6 integral with the container 2 and a part mobile 7 able to move relative to the fixed part 6 along an axis X which coincides, in the example considered, with the longitudinal axis of the body 4 of the container 2 and with that of his collar 5.
- the fixed part 6 has a threaded mounting and sealing skirt 9 internally, arranged to be screwed onto the neck 5, and an inner ring 31, in which the mounting skirt 9 is engaged.
- the inner ring 31 has at its upper end a return 32 towards the interior and extends below the mounting skirt 9 to the base of the neck 5.
- a annular bead 34 is formed on the radially inner surface of the inner ring 31, this bead 34 being snapped onto the lower end of the mounting skirt 9.
- the return 32 is supported on the upper end 11 of an upward extension of the mounting skirt 9.
- the fixed part 6 also includes a pump body 10 passing through the neck 5 and opening into the interior of the container, at its lower end, through an orifice 20 by from which the product can be taken.
- the movable part 7 comprises a push button 12 defining above a support surface 13, on which the user can press to dispense product.
- This push button 12 is fixed to the upper end of a hollow rod 15 of axis X, this rod 15 defining a channel 16 for supplying the product and being equipped with lower part of a piston 17, which defines with the body 10 a pumping chamber 18, of variable volume.
- the pump 3 has inside the body 10 a mechanism which allows to suck product in the pumping chamber 18 when the push button 12 is move in one direction and distribute the product contained in this pumping chamber 18 when the push button moves in the opposite direction.
- This mechanism can be achieved in many ways without leaving the framework of the present invention and in particular any conventional mechanism can be used, pre-compression or not, air intake or not.
- the above mechanism includes a valve ball suction 19, allowing the product to be sucked through the orifice 20 in the chamber pumping 18 when the volume thereof increases, that is to say during the ascent of the push button 12.
- the ball 19 prevents the product contained in the pumping chamber 18 to escape through the orifice 20 when the volume of the pumping chamber decreases, that is to say when the push button 12 is pressed.
- a dip tube or a bag containing the product can, if necessary, be fixed to the body 10, so as to communicate with the orifice 20.
- the pump 3 can be arranged to operate in different positions, especially only head up or only head down, or both.
- the piston 17 is mounted, in the example considered, with a possibility of sliding along the axis X relative to the rod 15, and the latter comprises at least one radial opening 22 allowing the product contained in the pumping chamber 18 to evacuate via channel 16 when the volume thereof decreases.
- This opening 22 is closed off during the product suction phase by an annular lip 23, radially inside, of the piston 17.
- the latter also comprises at least one other lip 24, radially outer, applied to a cylindrical surface of revolution, radially inside the pump body 10.
- a helical spring 25 allows the movable part 7 to be raised upwards when the user releases the push button 12.
- the push-button 12 comprises a lateral skirt 30, the outer surface of which is cylindrical in revolution around the axis X, of diameter d '.
- the pump 3 comprises an outer ring 40, comprising a body 41 generally tubular on axis X, extended at its upper end by a directed return radially inward, defining a flexible lip 42 arranged to be applied to the aforementioned skirt 30 of the push button 12.
- the outer ring 40 is mounted to rotate freely around the fixed part 6 of the pump and more particularly can rotate without much friction in contact with the inner ring 31.
- the outer ring 40 also has, at its lower end, as can be seen more particularly in Figures 2 and 3, teeth 44 which are positioned by snapping under the lower end 36 of the inner ring 31, thus retaining axially the outer ring 40 on the fixed part 6.
- the teeth 44 of the outer ring 40 can, if necessary, be produced using a core mold during molding retractable, so as to facilitate demolding.
- the lip 42 is made in one piece with the body 41 of the outer ring 40, for example by material injection molding plastic, which may for example be polypropylene.
- the chosen plastic material allows the body 41 of the outer ring 40 be rigid enough to prevent a user from unscrewing the pump.
- the thickness e of the lip 42 is preferably, as can be seen in FIG. 4, less than the thickness e ' of the body 41, so as to give the lip 42 a certain flexibility, and in particular give it the possibility of bending in contact with the skirt 30 of the push button 12, as illustrated in FIG. 5, once in place on the fixed part 6 and that the mobile part 7 moves along the axis X.
- the ratio e / e ' can for example be between 0.1 and 0.5, and in the example considered is worth approximately 0.3.
- the relatively small thickness of the lip 42 and the flexibility which results therefrom also make it possible, if necessary, to authorize manufacturing tolerances for the outer ring 40 and the relatively large push-button 12. It is for example possible to have a diameter d of the radially inner edge 42a of the lip 42, before the mounting of the outer ring 40 on the fixed part 6, which is less than the diameter of by at least 1 mm, the difference being for example between 1.3 and 1.4 mm.
- the radially inner edge 42a is produced with a bevel 42b defining a frustoconical surface diverging towards the container 2, this frustoconical surface possibly extending over a height h , measured from the lower face 42c of the lip 42, at least equal to half of the total thickness e.
- the height h may be of the order of 0.2 mm, the total thickness e for example of the order of 0.3 mm and the dimension l of the bevel in the radial direction of 0.2 mm.
- the total radial dimension r of the lip 42 is for example about 2 mm.
- the internal diameter of the body 41 will be chosen slightly greater than the diameter outside of the inner ring 31 and may for example be between 20 and 30 mm, depending on the size of the inner ring 31.
- the total height, along the X axis, of the outer ring 40 can for example be between 20 mm and 40 mm, depending in particular on the height of the neck and that of the inner ring 31.
- the device 1 can be assembled by screwing the fixed part 6 with the part movable 7 on the container 2, then bringing the outer ring 40 over the inner ring 31, along the X axis, until the teeth 44 click into place.
- the outer ring 40 is rigid enough to prevent the user, if he try to rotate it while compressing it radially, to exert sufficient torque on the inner ring 31 to be able to unscrew the pump.
- the teeth 44 can for example be replaced by a continuous annular bead, extending over the entire circumference of the outer ring.
- the lip 42 can be produced by bi-injection of materials.
