Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fluid or pasty product dispensing assembly such as a liquid or a cream, associated with an opaque container containing the fluid or pasty product within which a reserve of said product is delimited.
  • a fluid or pasty product dispensing assembly such as a liquid or a cream
  • the actuation of this dispensing assembly makes it possible to extract from the container the product which is distributed through a dispensing orifice. This type of distribution is ideally used in the fields of cosmetic perfumery and pharmacy.
  • the dispensing assembly consists of an atmospheric or airless exhaust pump fixedly mounted on the container.
  • the container is generally opaque it is impossible to know the level of the product to be dispensed remaining in the bottle or when there is almost no product left in the container unlike the perfume bottle, the latter being mostly transparent at any time the level of the product to be distributed.
  • EP 2522246 A2 which describes a container with airless pump system specifically adapted for cosmetic products.
  • the outer container is opaque and the inner container is transparent.
  • the opaque outer container has a transparent window at its bottom.
  • the bottom surface of the airless pump has an identification means.
  • the valve which is also transparent, rises so that the state of total exhaustion of the contents is indicated according to the change of visibility of the identification means which is visible through the transparent window of the opaque container.
  • the aforementioned or known devices are characterized by identification means (transparent container, translucent identification groove on the side of the container) which tend to limit or denature the packaging or the overall aesthetic of the product or the product line , which often displeases brands very attached to the aesthetics and homogeneity of their product line.
  • identification means transparent container, translucent identification groove on the side of the container
  • the visibility of the means of identification is not always easy (visibility through several walls more or less transparent or translucent) or even incompatible with certain products such as opaque creams.
  • the means of identification is visible only once the empty container, which is not the objective here. It should also be noted that for a good conservation of the product, in some cases it must not be exposed to light, and must be in a perfectly opaque container.
  • the present invention therefore proposes to provide a product reserve system that does not have the drawbacks mentioned above according to the prior art and is intended to allow a user when all of the initial product has been consumed, to have easily access a stock of the same product in the same container, thereby informing the user of the upcoming end of the product while allowing him to continue using it before renewing and purchasing a new product.
  • This system keeps the same aesthetics, the same opacity as the containers without indications and is a reliable mechanical alert. The user can not ignore the fact that it is on the stock of product since it is he who activates when the entire initial product has been taken. The user is temporarily deprived of the product before the triggering of the reserve by his care, so he is alerted.
  • the present invention has set the objective of creating a supply of product inside containers, especially opaque, containing a product which may be liquid or pasty and viscous associated or mounted with a traditional atmospheric pump or without air.
  • the present invention thus relates to a dispensing assembly according to claim 1.
  • the product reserve system comprises, in this first non-limiting embodiment with an airless pump, said airless pump as a dispensing member generally designated by the reference numeral 1 which is positioned on the outer container 2, usually made of glass or opaque plastic containing the product to be dispensed.
  • the dispensing member 1 is generally fixedly mounted on the container 2 so as not to be removable by the user (using only his hands) to prevent any pollution of the product contained in the container 2.
  • the organ 1 distribution is surmounted by a dispensing plunger 3.
  • a fret 4 and a ring 5 generally complete the distribution assembly.
  • the product stock system inside the opaque container also comprises an internal container 6 held inside the outer container 2 by a key or unlocking device 7.
  • the unlocking device or key 7 is fixed on the inner container 6 ideally by clipping, gluing or screwing.
  • the unlocking device 7 may be fixed on the cylinder of the inner container 6 or on the bottom of said inner container 6 if it has one.
  • the inner container 6 has pins or a mechanical stop flange 9 in its upper part for blocking the scraper disk 8.
  • Said scraper disc 8 is mounted either from the top by removing the lugs or flange 9 or from the bottom if the inner container 6 has no bottom and this before having fixed the key or unlocking device 7.
  • the assembly is mounted inside the outer container 2 until it is blocked from below by the lugs or collar 10 located at the base of the outer container 2.
  • the assembly formed by the inner container 6 and the device release 7 is also blocked upwards by lugs or projections 11 as indicated on the figure 1.2 (bottom view of the figure 1.1 ) and located on the locking / unlocking device 7 and possibly on the inner container 6.
  • These lugs or projections 11 abut against the shoulder or the rib 12 located inside the outer container 2.
  • the assembly formed by the outer container 2, the inner container 6, the release device 7 and the scraper piston 8 is therefore locked and unmountable.
  • This assembly is also maintained in rotation thanks to small bosses 13 visible on the figure 1.2 and more particularly on the magnification of Figures 2.3 and 2.4 .
  • FIGS. Figures 1.1 and 1.3 corresponds to the first distribution state in which the dispensing assembly is able to dispense a first quantity of product N contained in the container 2.
  • the assembly consisting of the dispensing member 1, the outer container 2, the hoop 5, the inner container 6 and the piston 8 being perfectly airtight, the piston 8 rises along the inner container 6 as in the case a system without traditional air.
  • a vent hole 15 located in the deblocking device 7 and / or in the internal container 6 makes it possible not to create a vacuum between the piston 8 and said release device 7 and thus to avoid upsetting the rise of said piston 8 along the inner container 6.
  • the dispensing of fluid or pasty product is normally done until all the quantity of product N is distributed and that the piston 8 is blocked in its ascent by a mechanical stop represented here in the form of lugs or retaining collar 9. Therefore according to the present invention the piston 8 is found blocked thus preventing the distribution of the remaining product.
  • This so-called blocking state showing the volume of reserve R is visualized on the figure 1.3 .
  • the inner container 6 and the unlocking device 7 are themselves locked inside the outer container 2 as indicated above by the lugs or projections 13 thus avoiding any movement of the assembly, viewed in the magnification of the figure 2.2 .
  • the volume R of product or reserve volume can be increased or decreased according to the necessities of the product by increasing or decreasing the height of the inner container 6 or by changing the positioning of the lugs or the retaining flange 9 on said internal container 6. It is clear from this description that it is no longer possible for the user to distribute more product without an action on his part unlike a simple visual indicator. This lack of product distribution indicates to the user that it remains in its opaque container that the volume of product R contained in the previously defined reserve. It is therefore time for the user to trigger a new purchase.
  • the user can continue to use the product by triggering the distribution of the reserve R always contained inside the outer container 2.
  • the reserve of product R is at the inside the same container 2 as the first quantity of product N.
  • the present invention therefore avoids us to disassemble the airless pump 1 of the container 2 and thus allows us to avoid, among other things, any problem of operation of the airless pump 1 and any contamination or contamination of the product both in the airless pump 1 and in the container 2.
  • the figure 3.1 represents a section of the whole before use and the figure 3.2 the same set when all the product N has been distributed.
  • the total end of the distribution of the product will end up according to various possible options, such as for example when the piston 8 comes into contact with the underside of the ring 5 or when the top of the internal container 6 comes to a stop on this same underside. ring 5 or when the lugs 11 will come into abutment on the top of the groove 18.
  • This situation is represented on the figure 3.4 .
  • only the unlocking action of the key 7 (if the container 19 is made of two parts containing 6 and unlocking system 7) is necessary to allow the total use of the product reserve R created .
  • the product reserve system comprises, in this first example of non-limiting embodiment with atmospheric pump, said dispensing pump generally designated by the reference la which is positioned on the outer container 2, generally glass or opaque plastic containing the product to be dispensed.
  • the dispensing member is generally fixedly mounted on the container 2 so as not to be removable by the user to avoid any pollution of the product contained in the container 2.
  • the organ The dispenser 4 is also provided with a dispensing plunger 3.
  • a ring 4 and a ring 5 also complete the dispensing assembly as in the case of the airless pump system.
  • the product stock system inside an opaque container also comprises a small inner container but smaller than previously 21 also serving as a bottom to the outer container 2 and held within said outer container 2 by a key or release device 22.
  • the unlocking device or key 22 is fixed on the inner container 21, ideally by splicing, gluing or screwing.
  • the unblocking device 22 can be fixed on the cylinder of the inner container 21 or on the bottom of said inner container. The choice of assembly between the two parts can be linked for example to the choice of assemblies. It should be noted as we will see later that the inner container 21 and the unlocking device 22 may well also form a single piece as in the case of the airless distribution device described above.
  • the assembly formed by the inner container 21 and the release device 22 is mounted inside the outer container 2. The latter is blocked by the by the lugs or flange 10 located at the base of the outer container 2. The assembly formed by the inner container 21 and the release device 22 is also blocked upwards by lugs or projections 11 on the device of release 21 and possibly on the inner container 21. These lugs or projections 11 abut against the shoulder or the rib 12 located inside the outer container 2. The assembly formed by the outer container 2, the inner container 21 and the unlocking device 22 is therefore locked and unmountable. This assembly can also be kept rotated by small bosses 13 located on the groove or shoulder 12 of the outer container 2. These elements are described in the bottom view, figure 4.2 .
  • the assembly formed by the outer container 2 and the inner container 21 forms a sealed assembly and behaves like a traditional bottle.
  • the inner container 21 is sealingly mounted inside the outer container 2 by means of one or more rods or sealing lips 23 ideally located outside the inner container 21 on its upper part.
  • the dip tube 20 in the present invention does not touch and does not approach the bottom of the container 2.
  • the dip tube 20 stops at a height h of the bottom formed by the container 2 and the container internal 21. This height h determines the reserve of product R which will be used after the activation of the unlocking system 22.
  • the product contained above this height h corresponding to the amount of product N, amount called "normal" product and which will be used in the first distribution state.
  • the liquid or pasty product is subjected to atmospheric pressure by the arrival of air through the vent hole 24 located on all atmospheric pumps.
  • the distribution of the product is normally as on all bottles of the market until the level of said product is found just below the inlet 25 of the dip tube 20 corresponding to the height h. Therefore according to the present invention the distribution of the remaining product can no longer be done.
  • This blocking state showing the reserve volume R is displayed on the figure 4.3 .
  • the volume of product stock R is substantially equal to or slightly less than the volume of product between the bottom of the container 2, the inner container 21 and the end of the dip tube 20 representing the height h.

It is clear from this description that it is no longer possible for the user to distribute more product without an action on his part unlike a simple visual indicator. This lack of product distribution indicates to the user as before that it remains in its opaque container that the volume of product R contained in the previously defined reserve.
