Definitions
- Refill bottle comprising an envelope, the envelope having a body and a hood
- the present invention relates to a refill bottle, in which a refill containing a consumable fluid product can be replaced in an envelope of a refill bottle.
- Recharge vials are used in two main fields of application: the use of the fluid contained in the vial requires an expensive mechanism, and the envelope of the vial itself is expensive. So we use a "recharge" to allow the reuse of the expensive part, for technical and / or aesthetic reasons.
- the envelope In order for the refill, in the form of a vial, to be introduced into the envelope and extracted from it, the envelope must be able to be opened in one way or another.
- Recipient bottles which comprise at the end opposite the neck a simple plug which closes the envelope.
- the refill is attached to a hood, and an envelope body is attached to the hood around the refill.
- This separation of the envelope into a body and a hood poses a problem of cooperation between the body and the hood, so that this cooperation is reliable, robust, simple and inexpensive.
- the invention relates to the problem of the cooperation of the body and the cover of the envelope of such a refill bottle. It relates more precisely to the control mechanism of the locking and unlocking of the cooperation of the body and the cover, by implementation of an actuating ring disposed around the neck of the bottle.
- the invention makes it possible to solve the aforementioned problem by producing the three part cover, an essentially aesthetic external cover, an inner cover carrying the essential part of the mechanism, and an actuating ring whose part of actuation is placed around the neck. of the bottle and the maneuvering part is hidden by the inner and outer covers.
- the invention relates to a refill bottle, comprising a refill bottle and a casing, the casing comprising a body and a cap cooperating by an attachment device;
- the cover comprises three parts, an outer cover with an enveloping skirt, an inner cover provided with a locking mechanism, and an actuating ring movable around the neck of the bottle
- the attachment device comprises at least a fixed hook of the body and a pivoting hook of the inner cowl, the pivoting hook being disposed on a lever of the first type which pivots about a hinge formed on the inner cowl, and the actuating ring acts by rotation on the end the lever opposite the hook.
- the hinge is preferably formed of an integrated molding hinge
- the bottle comprises two attachment devices having opposite positions.
- the at least one inner cover has a projection in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the neck, and the integrated molding hinge is formed at the projection so that it has a radial dimension greater than the thickness of the internal hood.
- the actuating ring has a rest position in which the attachment device is engaged, and an actuating position in which the hooks of the attachment device are separated.
- the actuating ring comprises, for each lever, a radial finger protruding from its base and intended to move the end of the lever opposite to that which carries the hook in the unlocked position.
- the actuating ring comprises a second radial finger protruding from its base and intended to keep the end of the lever opposite to that which carries the hook in the locking position such that the two hooks can not separate.
- the actuating ring comprises a locking projection intended to be housed in a cavity of the inner cover when the actuating ring is in the rest position.
- the cavity of the inner cover is delimited by a resilient member capable of bending to pass the locking projection when the latter is subjected to a displacement force by rotation of the actuating ring.
- the three parts of the cover are held in cooperation so that the inner cover and the outer cover can not be separated.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 show, with a bonnet part externally removed, the upper part of a bottle of refill bottle according to the invention, in the rest position and actuation respectively; and
- Figure 3 shows a refill bottle disposed in the casing body, the cap having been removed.
- the vial according to the invention comprises a refill 10 in the form of a vial, and an envelope.
- the refill 10 essentially comprises a cylindrical body 12 of substantially oval section, the upper part of which has a similar but smaller sectional extension, the two sections 12 and 14 being connected by a projection 16.
- the upper part of the refill 10 has a neck 18.
- the envelope comprises a body 20 and a cover 28.
- the body 20 of the casing has an extension cheek 22 intended to cooperate with a skirt of the casing. hood, and, on each side, a hook 24 of a hood attachment device on the body. So that the mechanical strength of the hook 24 is increased, a cheek 26 is associated with it and has a thickness smaller than that of the hook.
- the cover 28 has three parts: an outer cover 30, an inner cover 33 and an actuating ring 34.
- the outer hood 30 has an enveloping skirt 32 intended to surround the cheek 22 of the body 20. This skirt 32 is connected by a projection 35 to an upper portion 36 which defines a circular hole for the passage of the actuating ring 34.
- the inner cover 33 and the actuating ring 34 constitute the essence of the locking mechanism and unlocking of the attachment device which allows the cooperation of the cover and the casing body.
- the inner cover 33 has a lower skirt 38 and an upper section 40 which are connected by a projection 42 corresponding to the projection 35 of the outer cover and to the projection 16 of the refill 10. Openings delimiting elastic fingers 44 are formed in the upper section. 40 so that these resilient fingers 44 cling to the upper edge of the upper section 14 of the refill. This fixing of the internal cover on the bottle is only a possibility and is not essential to the operation.
- the inner cover 33 comprises, on each side, a lever 46 whose lower end carries a hook 48 intended to cooperate with the hook 24 of the casing body.
- the two hooks 24, 48 constitute the attachment device of the cover on the casing body.
- the lever 46 is of the first type, that is to say that the point of application of the actuating force is at the end 50 of the lever 46 which is opposite to the end of the hook, the articulation 52 being placed between the ends 48, 50.
- this joint is an integrated hinge obtained by molding.
- the hinge 52 is at a projection 42, since it can be thin and wide and can therefore reliably guide the lever 46 in its pivoting.
- the upper surface of the inner cover 33 comprises an elastic finger 54 and a stop 56 which delimit between them a retaining cavity whose use is described below.
- the actuating ring 34 has, at its lower periphery, a finger 58 actuating the lever 46.
- this finger is below the upper surface of the inner cover.
- Figure 2 indicates that the finger 58 acts on the end 50 of the lever, so that the hook 48 of the lever can separate from the hook 24 of the body and allow the extraction of the cover relative to the body. This finger 58 therefore constitutes a device for unlocking the attachment device 24, 48.
- FIG. 1 indicates that the base of the actuating ring 34 carries another finger 60 which, in the rest position of the actuating ring shown in FIG. 1, is adjacent to the end 50 of the lever 46 and prevents thus the pivoting of this lever.
- this second finger 60 is a locking device of the attachment device 24, 48, preventing the separation of the cover and the casing body.
- the actuating ring 34 is furthermore provided with a protrusion 62 which moves between the inner cover 33 and the upper part 36 of the outer cover 32. This projection, in the rest position, is held between the elastic finger 54 and the stop 56. A user must exert a force determined by the elastic finger 54 to turn the actuating ring 34.
- the use of the refill according to the invention is extremely simple.
- a user wants to replace a refill 10, he turns the actuating ring 34 by an angle of about 35 'in the counterclockwise direction.
- the cover 28 and the casing body 20 can then be easily removed, and, thanks to the elastic fingers 44, the empty refill 10 is held by the hood.
- the user simply removes the refill and introduces a new refill in the body 20, and places the cap on the bottle 10.
- the cap can easily penetrate to its hooking position because the hook 48, when it reaches the level hook 24 is spaced apart and returns elastically under it.
- the cover has been separated from the casing body, the force exerted by the hinge Integrated 52 has sufficiently rotated the actuating ring 34 so that it allows the pivoting of the lever 46. Once this hooking obtained, the user simply returns the actuating ring in the locking position by a rotation, clockwise, at an angle of the order of 20 to 30 '.
- the locking of the actuating ring 34 in its rest position can be obtained in any other way, for example by a simple friction of the ring relative to the rest of the cover, so that the ring can be operated only when necessary.
